Ma nagpr Dixie Pa rker Has a n
Enviable Record in Baseball
Dixie Parker, the man upon whose
Ehm.Mory the fate of the 1940 nil turn
of the Williamston entry in the
Coastal Plain League will lie* was
selected to fill this position after
much time and thought had been
given the problem. President J. Ea
sen Lillcy. after looking over Par
ker's record, both as a player and
manager, feels that he has made a
wise choice and that the baseball
fans of this section will nut be dis
appointed with the new skipper, who
is making every effort toward build
ing a team which will be able to keep
the championship of the Coastal
Plain in Williamston
A look at Skipper Parker's record
shows that he has been in organized
baseball for a long number of years,
both in the capacity of a catcher and
as manager. He spent three years in
the Western League, a Class A loop,
where he is still remembered by the
old-timers of that section. Then Dixie
was sent to the Southern League, al
so Class A. where he spent two years
From there he went to the majors,
playing for the Philadelphia Phillies
in the National circuit for two sea
sons.
At this tin\e, Dixie decided to take
a fling as a manager, and due to his
outstanding ability to handle pitch
ers, he immediately signed with the
Bradenton club, of the Florida State
League From that time imrn he wns
signed to head the Martins. Parker
has seen action as manager of Char
lerio, in the Penn State loop; Field -
ale, and South Boston, of the Bi
(State circuit; Americus, down in the
' Georgia-Florida league, and Augus
ta. in the South Atlantic.
During his years in baseball, the
| veteran catcher has been the proper
? ty of thr Nr-w York Yankees. Boston? -
Nations, Detroit Tigers. St Louis
Browns and the Phillies.
Jimmy Hamilton, baseball scout
and owner of several clubs, recom
mended Parker to President Lilley.
praising him very highly for his abil
ity to find promising stars of the
diamond. It nas been reported that
a number of Dixie's proteges have
found their way to higher leagues
and some have even traveled to the
majors.
Popular, both as a player and man
ager, Parker is expected to arrive
here shortly, and will at that time
offer the outcome of his work at
shaking the bushes for future Martin
stars.
Parker, a great lover of the out
doors and a clean sportsman, passes
his winter months on the farm rais
ing stock down around his old home
