S Ivnl ( en Inhibition of Ball
The Camden team Wednesday after*'"
noon defeated a scrub team from
Camp Jackson, or soinewher.e, it mat
ters not, we don't suppose they would
admit where they entne from. The
game was a farce all the way through
and the feature of the game was the
enormous score the Camden team piled
up. It went to the had in the third
inning when Camden made five runs
and kept scoring till the eighth when
they made five more, piling up a total
of seventeen runs against ^six for the.
scrubs.
The -fit life wore son* because thoy
were exacting to see n game between
Camden ant] the fast 11th Infantry
loam. It was a large crowd in at
tendance ami it was a ureal game for
those who like that kind of ball. Peo
ple who really like. the sport do not
want thai kind and if the baseball
spirit Is- to he kepi a'Jve surh scrub
exhibitions should not he ? run in on
those who patronize the name.
The ragged score i<j jri v??n below and
