Cotton Hill, was busting off some
OF our boys. Clary didn't like the
way he was throwing at our heads, SC
he said, The next time I get up to
the plate I'll take care of that guy.
He did. The next time he came
up, Clary bunted and Hill had to
go over and cover first. Clary timed
things so he'd get to first base at
the same time and he bounced that
Hill into right field.
That touched off nice little
riot. Clary and Hill went at it,
then players on both teams joined
in the fight. Then the fans came
out of the stands and got in the
scramble
He Chose the Wrong Foe
Il noticed fellow was choking
Jake Early, who was catching for
us then, so I went over and teed off
on his chin. 1t was a pretty ex-
pensive sock on the jaw, for the guy
I hit was the Durham chief of po-
lice. He kept me in Jail two hours
before he let me go for $3.50.
"Clary always had cut hands when
he was playing for me- If he didn't
like a third strike he had taken, he'd
come into the dugout and pound
his hands against the dugout wall
He was popular with his teammates.
though, because when he was mad
he never took it out on them.
He was popular with the fans,
too. They liked his spirit and they
liked the way he stole bases. He
stole 43 for me that year and hit
.31l. When he stole those bases, the
shortstop or second baseman usually
got out of the way because Clary
came in with those spikes high. He
didn't do much running with us last
year, but he'll get going tbs season
and when he does our fans are 60
ing to love him.
He turned down a football
scholarship to Alabama but I guess
he's never forgotten it because he
believes there's no team in the world
like Alabama When he isn't talk
ing about baseball he's talking about
Alabama's football teams.
"Clary was colorful figure in
Charlotte. He drove around in a
yellow Stutz that he bought for $50.
You could hear that thing coming
for five blocks You'll be hearing
from Clary this season, too. He's
quite a fellow"

Temper Was His Buqoboo

Hes one of the most spirited
players I've ever seen. He was a
great friend of Jimmy Bloodworth
when they were playing together at
Charlotte. Once when Jimmy took
a third strike that he didn't believe
was a strike. he got into an argu-
ment with the umpire.
Il got out to the plate to do
eome arguing, too, and the first
thing I know here comes Clary up
to the plate with a bat in his hand,
ready to conk the umpire on the
head. whacked Bloodworth's and
Clary's heads together and finally
some of the other Charlotte players
came to my rescue and got them
out of there.
Temper was the biggest thing
clary had to overcome. That same

that it crushed him when he felt
he had failed. Many's the time he
skipped dinner, undressed, climbed
in bed and cried himself to sleep.
That sounds like he was bad
ballplayer, but he wasn't. Clary,
In fact. was very good player. In
1888 the leagues most valuable
shortstop was Phil Rizzuto and the
fellow he beat out for that dis
tinction-by one vote in a sports

Nassau, Bahamas, Nov. - GU.
P.) - Count Alfred De Marigny re-
manned adamant today in his deci-
sion against leaving Nassau des-
pite the deportation recommends
ton Of the jury which acquitted
him Of the murder of his third
wife's father. Sir Harry Cakes.
The fun-loving nobleman, who
had been in prison from July until
he was freed Thursday night, had
no definite plans for the future ex-
cept to go fishing next week with
his 19-year- old wife, Nancy.
De Marigny told newsmen at an
informal conference yesterday, the
first since his trial ended, that he
would not leave Nassau and was
leaving the legal details of any pos
sible deportation proceedings to his
attorneys.
The next step in the case rested
with the executive council, which
has the sole power to bring deporta-
ton proceedings against De Mar
igny. The situation was complicated,
however, in view of the fact that
three principals of the murder trial
were members of the council.
They were Godfrey Higgs, De
Marigny's defense counsel, Attor-
ney General Eric Mailman, who
prosecuted the case, and Harold G..
Christie. who found the slain mil
lionaires body in his burned bed
last July.
A member Of the staff Of the
Duke Of Windsor, governor general
of the Bahamas, said the matter
would be left entirely TO the coun-
Gil. The Duke merely would vote as
a member, he explained.
