FOR A BALL PARK
"Why don't you start h drive lor b
baseball park in Camden?" usked u
well known Camden citizen and u
baseball enthusiast, who never iniwMu*
a game, although his dutloM ure ar
duous.
Well here goes! Camden need a a
'fenced-in hull park uh wuh witnessed
here Tueaduy afternoon when a team
I com Tiininonsvillo and Olympiu MIIIh
of Columbia, played an elimination
game on neutral grounda. The game
wus played on the school liouae
grounda where there were no galea,
no fence, no grandatand, and where
few of the faithful paid a meanly two
hith to witnoaa a fine exhibition of
buaobuil.
Then too, there came near being
two aerloua accldenta by spectator*
being bit by foul ball*?they standing
too clone to the play Luckily, the
ball did not bit a vital apot, clae a nationally
known spectator, a line old
gentleman would have been killed.
Couch Small, who lust year and
ihla year, hua put hia team in the
(inula for both the Legion Juulorn and
the high achool, haa had no backing,
either llnanclally, in attendance or in
cut huaiuain.
Noticed on the back of the uniforms
of both Tlmtnonaville and Olympiu
were advertisements of their city's
leading tnerchuntH and firms. Camden
player's uniforms have none.
For many years Camden was
known as one of the heat huseball
towns in the State. If you don't be
lieve it ask Doug Uoykin, Willie
Halle, Dr .1. W Curbett, Lee Little,
I >r Carl West. John Wilson. Sidney
Smith and a long list of others.
Huseball is one of the manliest
spoils in America Any young man
making good, whether he be pitcher.
< an her or holding any other position
has a bright luttire with a nice salary
attached
We are tor a line baseball park |
with n feme around it. Will some
one take the initiative before the sea-i
son is over? Camden is a football
t<in) "horsey" town in the winter, but
we want to see good games in the
summer in the way of the great National
pastime

demon of the afternoon getting a
home run, two doubles and a single
on five times at bat. He posted five
runs for his team, scoring each time

a homer and two singles in five

In the sixth and seventh Innings,
Bertram was sure working like a machine

facing him in those frames. He
