"Cheerful Charley" is the one referred to, and In his heyday as a player he was just as good -a slugger as he was a dispenser of the cheerful stuff. ' Hlcjcmnn is now the lord mayor of Morgantown. W. Va.. and reports from his home town state that "he is making as many hits in politics as h did in baseball. They say down in Morgantown that he is the best mayor they ever had. and that is going some. Morgantown was where Hickman started put as a hall player. He was a pitcher for West Virginia university and between the, time he hulled his last college game and his election as mayor he played with both Poston teams, the Giants. Washington, Detroit, the White Sox. and the Cleveland NapS;of the old days. He finished his career with Toledo, praying the outfield in 1309. 1910, and 1911. but while in professional baseball he held down every position on a team with the exception of catcher.
