of Gleeson. "Jim treats young
ball players like sons and hr
knows how to handle the kids,"
remarked "Yatch." "Not only
does he know baseball, but also
gets the full mileage out of his
players. He's colorful and wellliked by players and fans alike,"
continued the 25-ycar-old inflelder, who batted .219 last summer
for the Braves.
t'a fatherly description and
nickname, "GT Silver —for his
white hair—gives disbelief* to
the fact that the new Johnson
H e l d headmaster is only 39
years old.
One
of Gleeson's biggest be­
liefs is in "hustle."
During
his playing and coaching days,
Jim w a s an exponent oi hustle
and
Insists that Ws players
carry out the same attitude.
Gleeson, characterized as calm
and
cool with an almost npn~Sw3leabIe maTceup, not
only
helps his players by pointing out
mistakes, but is also in a posi­
tion, agewise. to demonstrate tha
correct method himself on the
field.
A native of Kansas City, Mo.,
where he now resides with his
wife and two children. Jim has
a firm major and minor leagu*'
background foundation, plus one
year of managing before wearing
Triplet'Jivery.' Last year, he
'directed the Muskegon Clippers
to second place in the Class A
Central League. Under his •guid­
ance were numerous Triplet castoffs, such as George Prigge,
Denny Jent and Dick Welker.
Throughout his playing career,
the 6-1, 195-pounder has been
a switch-hitting outfielder, who
t h r o w s righthanded. In the
majors, he played with the Cubs
In 1939 and 1940, the Reds in
1941 and 1942.
After several
years in the service, his next
baseball playing was for Colum­
bus of the Association in 1946,
Louisville in 1947, Milwaukee in
1948 and 1949. Kansas City as
Coach under Joe Kuhel in 1950

Jim spends a share
leisure summer hours on the golf

where,
according ' to
Logan, he is quite a sharpshooter.
"Hell probably challenge any
amateur In the Triple Cities,"
chuckled the Eridlcotter. "But
I sure hope he nets some good
players to work with, because
he'll make the Triplets a good
manager." concluded Logan,
