1938-5-11 (The Macon Telegraph) Memories from Buddy Calloway, now race car driver/mechanic. Averages around 150 races a year.
https://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Buddy_Calloway Born Jessie Whipple Calloway - often spelt Callaway.
"Calloway is a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan. Years ago, he recalls, he played on our side - for The Telegraph team in a city league. That was before he took up racing.
" 'I remember we had Flew Miller pitching for us. He's a brother of Wallace Miller. Lives in Miami now... Well, he could pitch with either hand - plenty of steam with his right and good stuff on both sides. So much stuff, to tell the truth, that I couldn't catch him. I was the regular catcher. We played on a diamond in the infield of the racetrack, on Grey's Hill and the Indian Mound site. We also had old Buck Holloway on The Telegraph team.
" ' Buck went up to the big leagues for awhile and quit when he was making $8,500 a year. Yes, sir he quit to become a danged farmer out here around Macon somewhere.' "
