RIGHT DOWN THE ALLEY
By SHORTY CASH
Speaking of ball players, I
never was much of a one-man
ball player. It takes nine men
to field a team. Our average may
be just a few points behind the
loader and you never hear much
about him. if you take the little
wheels off a piece of machinery
it won't run, just like Uncle
Sam’s Army without the buck
private. But today I think Ted
Williams is one of the best—they
switch pitchers on him, walk
him, and still he has led the
league several times and is al
ways up with the leaders.
But there has to be a starting
place for all boys, and there are
some fine prospects around here.
I like to see ball playing around
home and when we have a team
there are not many fans like
there used to be a few years back.
They get to Chattanooga and
Atlanta so much quicker now.
But if you will think, most of the
players were kids somewhere,
sometime, in some little town.
Some few years back, during
World War 11. David Koonce had
his ball park here, and we called
it Legion Field. Sunday was the
day when we got our biggest
crowd. But the city stopped us
from playing on Sunday. So the
first Sunday that we didn’t play
I went to Chattanooga and saw
some of the same people there
who were against us playing
here; too many of us strain at
a gnat and swallow a camel.
When my boys were just ten
or twelve years old, Bobby Bush,
Bobby Nix, Ralph Stanley, Billy
Joe Gilmer, and several other
boys here got together and
formed a team and called them
selves the Sluggers. They would
hitch hike to Trion and some
times one of the boys would get
a car and I would go along to
umpire. The only help they got
was from our good old friend.
Tiny Glenn. They kept their
equipment in the sheriff’s office
and Tiny would give them money
to buy balls.
Joe Fay Darus played with the
team. Billy Flanagan, Herman
Fletcher, and other boys who
helped win the 7th District
American Legion Jr. Basebali
is Democracy in Action
For over thirty years the
American Legion, in its dedica
tion to the youth of our nation,
has sponsored the American Le
gion Baseball program. There is
no greater example of America
and democracy in action than
American boys playing baseball.
Each summer hundreds of
thousands of boys take their
place on the ball diamond, re
ceive lessons in citizenship,
sportsmanship, loyalty, team
spirit, self-reliance and the ac
ceptance of responsibility. It is
here that they see first hand
that all men receive the same
oportunities in America. In
addition to these benefits, they
receive good, wholesome exercise
which builds their physical
strength and co-ordination.
It is upon these principles that
the American Legion Baseball
program is based A great re
sponsibility rests with the Amer
ican Legion and the men who
guide this program. It is their
duty to see that the principles
and ideals America, and the
game of baseball, are properly
taught to every boy. The Amer
ican Legion believes that there
are no losers in American Legion
Baseball. Each and every boy re-

There are plenty of boys here
now that can do the same
thing. Ball players like fans to
pull for them. I went to several
basketball games last year and
we had a good girls’ team and
most of the time there were only
ten to fifteen fans. Friends, back
up your team. If they do lose, re
member that if you had been
there we might have won.
I heard the Summerville Cot
ton Mill whistle blow the first
time in September 1907; Eldon
Wright, Sam Gaines, Herb An
derson, Lint Anderson, Homer
Rhinehart, my brother Jack
and I and several others were
playing ball one afternoon down
where Summerville Grocery is
now. We just had a little thread
ball. There were no buildings on
the lots and our field ran back
where Allen and Logan Feed
store is now. Boy, when that
whistle blew, here we all went
over there. They just had
enough steam to blow the
whistle.
There was a boy, Eb Fletcher,
with us. His dad was master me
chanic. My dad was one of the
first night watchmen, and
George Mahan ran the store for
him in town. My dad was the
first to deliver groceries in town.
George and I delivered them in
a one-horse wagon. The help in
the mill got their drinking water
from two old wells at each end
of the mill.
There was an old man, Mr.
Coxwell, that carried water in
the mill for the hands. He was
about 60 or 70 years old. There
are few here who remember
him; he was a great ball fan,
and lived in a little house at
Jakeville where the Snow White
Case building now stands. He
had a son who worked in the
mill, who taught me drawing-in.
the first work I did in the mill,
in December 1911.
You ball fans, remember the
Cincinnati Reds and Washington
Senators play in Chattanooga.

Drive the car that proved its superior steering,
braking, cornering, road-holding and passing
ability in the world's first Anto Decathlon, a
ten-way test of the driving qualities you want.
Chevy proved it's the champ in the world's first Anto
Decathlon, certified by the NATA.* It showed how
beautifully it handles, how quickly it recovers from
emergency situations—like quick turns and stops—
which can cause a car to lose its even-keel stance on
the road.
Chevy waltzed through some of the roughest
challenges ever laid down to measure how a car
behaves when the going is tough.
