THE HOME FURNISHING COMPANY TELEPHONE 46 j Camden High* Show I Class In Pastlmel (liy The Skipper) A disappointingly small but vocif-1 erously loyal crowd of baseball fans saw a nifty pitching exhlbltlou at the Camden pastime pasture Tuesday af- j lerneon when the Black and Gold larruped a crew from Orangeburg high by a score of 6 to 3. The pitching epic was offered by Clarence (Monkey) Biggins, l*yw pld seventh grader, who Is doing hill duty lor the first time In his youthful career. For seven Innings Monkey bartlud the efforts of the Orangeburg sluggers to connect, giving up but two blows over that period. Nine of the opposing club swingers went down via the whlfT route. ? > The Camden lads put up as nice an exhibition of playing as wo have witnessed in the four years we have listed Camden as our home town. It was J a brand of ball that merited ft full grandstand and bleachers. Biggins was traveling easy and with confld I dence while his support wus beautiful to watch. It was only In the two final J frames did the support falter and that I was rdue to the Injection of severs) | reserves Into the lineup. Blows that should have been easy outs went for I hits and Orangeburg scored three j runs on five hits and several errors in the eighth and ninth. I Cox was full of pep, catching a nice game and running wild on the sacks. Taylor annexed two of the five blows I recorded by the locals, getting two I for two. In three other appearances on the swing post he drew walks, giv-1 ing him a neat one thousand average j for the afternoon pastime. j This Biggins is going to be a factor in Camden baseball for some '<?pr I years to come. Right now he shows more stuff than any hurler the highs I have boasted in several years. In I 1941 and 1942 and thereon, he should really prove a tower of strength for I the Gold and Black. I '.This afternoon the Camden team I takes on the Darlington high school wrecking crew. Darlington has been j traveling at a fast clip this season and it Is going to require some alert play to get by them this afternoon. , | In the game Tuesday Camden scoied a run in the second, two in the third, one in the sixth and two in the seventh. Orangeburg scored one in the eighth and two in the ninth. Camden got five hits and made four errors while OTangeburg hit safely seven times and made four errors. I Zelgler, who pitched the first six inniugB for Orangeburg, was wild but I was stingy with hits. However, the locals managed to connect with men on the sacks and that Is what paid off in the final analysis. Browder went In to pitch for the visitors in the sev-1 enth and Camden welcomed him by scoring two runs. ] Camden baseball fans will have an I opportunity this afternoon to demon-1 at rate their loyalty and interest in ihel baseball group. . ] Hoy Suffers Concussionl Jimmy Walker, young son of Mr,< and Mrs. C.
