Major Karow, at Savannah, as Samuel Russell at Camden, has developed polo along the lines of clean sportsmanship. More power to them! * * * * One of Camden's original polo team, who happened to standi near the section where some j pf his faithful retainers and other j "colored folk" were placed said they | were among the most enthusiastic of I all the Camden adherents. Shouts of' "Oh, oh, he's lost )t" when a Camden j player over-rode the ball and cries j of "I)ar hit goes" when the ball was! sent between the posts made a lively ; accompaniment to a fast game. * * * *=? j It is understood that Augusta | wants n match with the best team j Camden can make up. and that, if i everything works out all right. Aiken ; will send a representative team to meet Camden here, as in "The good ; old days." when "Dalt" Kennedy, Rogers Rarstow. K. G. Whistler, "Pete" Johnson, "Bill" Salmond and others! made the Camden polo team an hon- i ored opponent at Aiken, at New Or- j leans and on Georgian Court at Lake- ' wood. * * * * Dear Chronicler: A friend of mino tells me that Spring is nearly here. He visits Camden along about this time every! year, on his way from Florida to' Virginia, whence he travels by easy' stages to the North. While here he spends a good deal of his time in front of the Court House on the green carpet of grass, where he attracts no little notice, by reason of the bright red "vest" he always wears . . . His name is Robin. Subscriber Thank you for that good news. Now, what friend of The Chronicle has seen any peach blossoms, dogwood blossoms, wild duck, coming up the Wateree from the "low country," or any other "impohtnnt matters," as the Colonel used to say? In fact, "all contributions" to this column will be "gratefully received." It not only reduces the labor of writing this weekly miscellaney but improves its quality. (Reader: "Well, that last is ce^jainiy desirable!") So send in anything you may deem appropriate, even poems, if short enough. Contributors will greatly oblige if they will kindly sign names and addresses, which of course will not be published if preferred. * * * * A friend of The Chronicle?a winter visitor?asked us the other evening to send in their subscription to the paper, so they could at least "keep in touch" with the life of Camden when they had perforce to be elsewhere. There are probably many others who would like to do this. Well, all j that is necessary is to write down i your name and address, slip a $2 ( bill (or two ones, if more conven- i ient) into the envelope and mail, bring or otherwise transport and transmit (as our lawyer friends say) ?the some to this newspaper and: they'll do the rest. That is, endea- j vor to give you an accurate, complete , and interesting picture of Camden week by week throughout 1933. * * * * j Sitting in front of the writer at the polo match Sunday afternoon was a party of interested spectators who we learned were headed by Dr. Hill, of Darlington. They were getting a great thrill out of the game . . and inquiry elicited the reply that it was their (irst game . . It is a safe bet that when another game is announced for Camden that Dr. Hill will bring his party back here . . and probably many more Darlingtonians. * * * * It was an "amalgamation" of people . . Sitting just back of the writer were several foreign-born citizens and the first thing we knew an animated conversation took place in a language unknown to the writer. . . A question brought the reply that it was Italian they were speaking. One; was born in Alexandria. Egypt, one, in South America, the other we could not learn. All have been world trav-, elers. * * * * Aside from the polo game ... 1% is a rare treat just to sit in that] grand stand and get a back view of the many handsome residences with their evergreens and lawns. . . It is indeed, a beautiful picture. * * * * The increasing interest being taken in Camden and the sports here is evidenced, among many other indications, by the February issue of "Polo, the Magazine for Horsemen." published in New York City. This is one of the leading magazines in its field in this country. I>evereux Milburn. one of the great polo playvrs of all times, is chairman of its advisory council, and among others di- j rooting its policy are Thomas Hitch-j cock. J'., Peter Vischer.

C. ? / . ? o> ?* - Artillery Team Was Winner First Game The 118th Feild Artillery of Savannah, Saturday afternoon scored an easy victory over the Camden polo team by a score of 8 to 3. The vis- j itors, led by Joseph T. Coleman, proved far too hard hitters and too experienced for the local bays who did not pet their bearings until the fourth chukker when Kirby Tuppcr, the Camden No. 1, eluded the field and scored on three nice drives, two from the south side of the field to center, then through. I The artillery made their first score About the middle of the first period, when "Bubber" Coleman took^ the ball out of a scrimmage and shot it along to McCrath. Watkins came J through and scored on a neat near-' side shot. In the second period several fouls were called on the local team. Twice Coleman scored on free shots from the--forty yard line, and once from a short pass by Roscoe Harper. Coleman scored the fourth | goal when Clarkson Rhame overrode' the ball leaving a "set-up" for Mc-1 Grath. It was bard luck for the Camden No. 2, for the ball stopped dead after settling in a hole made by a pony's hoof. McGrath dug the ball out and scored without intereference. At the end of this third chukker the score was 6-0 and it really looked gloomy for the admirers of the "town-" boys. Tuppor Breaks Through With the day gloomy and cold, and the gallery colder?but still shouting for excitement, Kirby Tupper, the popular little forward on the home team brought forth a great cheer, when he picked up the ball on a splendid pass from Chas. Little, who, in turn, took the willow from the overconfident Coleman, raced down the the field and with a trio of well placed drives piece of playing and the applause that Kirby and Little received was well merited. But hardly had the cheering died; down and play gotten under way J than the hard-hitting Coleman play-| ing No. 2 for the visitors, came in for a nice piece of playing. With the ball see-sawing back and forth and Camden play beginning to show 1 co-ordination, got loose, and taking the ball along the boards, with a hard clean clout drove the ball square between the posts. This made the score 7 to 1. After Coleman had missed a score by the narrowest margin, Rhame took the ball from the boards, and waiting for Little to get in position, drove the bull to the center of the field. "Little came through with two hard drives to score N* 2. On the throw-in Coleman and Harper came up close to the goal line, where Joe Bates drove it out of danger. Little smacked the ball towards the board. Tupper coming between two of the army men got free and made a rath-, or sensational run for his second tally. In this chukker?the fifth?the artillery boys did not score. i After several threats in the sixth chukker on the part of the Camden team and some fine defense work by Watkins. the army back, one of the I ? 1 i Camden players crossed Coleman near the fourth yard mark. Referee Gerald Balding, former British Inter-1 national player, called a foul, and again Coleman scored, bringing the final up to 8 for his side. The army players gave a fine exhibition, and while they won with apparent ease, it must be said that the Camden players showed great improvement in the closing chukkers. Camden 118 F. A.
