Braves Plan Baseball Clinic For Coaches in Briggs Cage

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

John P. "Stuffy" McInnis, the Crimson's new baseball coach, will assist three Boston Braves scouts and three Tribe players in a special baseball clinic for college and schoolboy coaches in Briggs Cage on February 5.

Braves general manager John J. Quinn announced yesterday plans for six such clinics at New England colleges and one at Exeter Academy. The program is designed to give individual instruction and to show technical movies primarily to coaches, but interested young players are also eligible to attend.

Quinn said that the clinics are being held "with the hope that all college, prep school, and high school coaches by their attendance will be better able to teach professional standards of baseball play."

The Braves' chief New England scout, Jeff Jones, will head the series, with players Earl Torgeson, Red Barrett, and Ray Martin and scouts Doc Gautreau and Fred Maguire assisting him. The Braves will use the aid of the baseball coaches at the schools where the clinics are held.

Other clinics in the series are scheduled for Bates, Amherst, Brown, Exeter, Wesleyan, and the University of Vermont.

The clinic here will be McInnis's first official function since his appointment as baseball coach last October 19. McInnis comes to Cambridge after a session at Amherst in which he compiled a record of ten wins and only one loss--a 4 to 3 defeat by Yale's championship squad.
