Hut up Id Wlaconalu w^ere Jo<
I/>u1h, the Urown Bomber, In tralnlnt
for liia battle with champion Jlrninh
Hraddock, the fight fana huvo the cen
tor of the atage and of courae the goa
alp all concema the coming meetluK
between theae two flatlc atara.
What chance haa Joe Loula to tak*
the ehamplonahlp from Hraddock'!
Your gueaa la Juat aa good aa mine,
For inyaelf I would auy that If the
champion and Joe were to meet in
the ring thla week 1 would have no
hoaltancy In picking the Cinderella
man to win. Hut in the aeveral weeka
elapuing before the two heavies atop
into the ring?well, it may apell a different
atory.
*
Right now jiraddock la in the peak
of condition for the battle. And therein
Ilea the dungor that Jim facea?
that of going atale before he entera
the ring And from all I hear from
the Hraddock camp at Grand Beach,
Mich., Jim realizea it. He tella the
newapuper boya that he could atep lf>
rounda right now without trouble?
but two weeka hence?well, the big
irlahman la going to take It euay and
upend the rout of the time In aharpenlng
hla upend and perfecting his
timing.
?
And meanwhile down here In Camden
we'll all be yvaltlng for the bell
and the radio bVoadcaat of the big
acrap. And folka, ""believe, me, there
will bo aoine crowd preaent in Chicago
when theae boya claah.

Now, to got round to aoftball There
have been aome worthwhile guinea
played In the Twilight league and ulao J
in the Girl'a loop uluco luat iaauunce
of thla column. I
That hattle between the Ksao Iloya
und Hilly Owena Hedfearn Motora waa
u corker and the reault la atlll up In
the air. Under the rulea of regular,
baaebull, the fact that the alxth Inning
waa not completed would Bend
the acorebaek to the end of even Innlnga
and the Motora were leading (5
to 4 Hut under the aoftball rulea
thore la a difference and the altuatlon
ao unuaual that the bureau of
recreation haa requeated an Interpretation
from the national rules committee.
Off hand we would register
the game aa a draw. Hut that la unofficial.
Those Merchant's sure put up a
scrappy battle, even If they do hold
undisputed possession of the cellar
championship. Their battle with the
Wolves luat Friday waa uii epic with
the reault in doubt until the llnal
putout.
?
"Huck" Smith was the target for
a lot of cuaaing and cheering. Cussed
by the folloxvora of the Merchant's
team and cheered by the adherants of
the Wolves' pack.
1 he ladies, well, they are playing
a much improved brand of softball.
And they Hiiro kicked over our apple
buggy We had a hunch that a few
Charley lipases and sore muscles
would cure them of the desire to
play, but hot dog, you should see them
out there hobbling around, but grinning
happily. Those Camden gala
sure can take It.
No folks. Gus Ileleos Is not going
to open a 11 very stable. That horse
that he Is showing in the window of
his store is just a dummy. Yea, 1
know you knew it. but we-had to put
a plug in a swell window display.
One of the business men drifted in
Saturday to inform us that our soft
ball boys were taking their games too
seriously. You're going to see a tight
out there some (lay it you don't Mill)

The "masked marvel" has been and

i Just three Innings when the Pro man

lad eh what?
The McDowell team In the girl's
league is going to land u plum when
Mary McLeod completes her vacation.
Mury, If you do not know her, is tho
little town of Camden inald who while
playing with tho Charlotte-Thompson
championship cage team lust season,
did some sensational shooting in the
title game and won it single-handed.
Mary modestly declares she does
not play much soft ball but is willing
] to do her best. And we'll venture to
say that Mury will be there with bells
on after she gets on to the hang of
the game.

They may grouch about Stanley Babin
as an umpire but we want to
say that If all umpires called 'em as
' good as Htanley, they would all be
assured of seats in the umpires heuveh.
And tho same goes for Jack Nettles.
That lad, Nolan, who worked
In that sizzling battle between the
Wolves and Merchants is another
sweet lad on ballB and strikes.
I ,
| What u swell pitching battle that
was between Blackwell and Clarke In
the girl's league game TTuesday. The
[Camden maiden profited by her greater
experience in holding the Zemp
batters to a few lonely bingles, fielded
her position faultlessly and hit the
ball hard. Clarkle, making her debut
in the league, showed she will be a
big factor in keeping the Zemp team
off the cellar floor.
*
I can remember a few years back
when Clarkle had a basketball team
In a cuge league I had up in Michigan
and believe It or not^ I am certain
that "team could trim any team
of it's size in tho IJ. S. A. And Clarkle
was the stur performer I'm here
to tell the gang.
So, knowing this little maiden as
I do. I predict she will go places in
softball She hits like a major leaguer
and fields her position well. Her
pitching will Improve rapidly.
When the Blackwell midget hits the
old pill, how the eagle screams. Her
long drive into deep center netted
her a home run Tuesday.
*
Now for a wee bit of Ixjglon baseball.
The gang beat up the Hermitage
Mills, f> to 4, Monday.and look
like title caliber.
Those boys from up Bethune way
have the stuff that ball players are
made out of. Anytime that you can
find a gang of boys who will work
In the field until noon, then walk several
miles to get a ride to Camden,
then practice until 7:30 and hitchhike
hack home?well fellows, those
hoys have what it to make real
ball players. YoU folks up in B<?
thune ought to be mighty proud or
your lads.
I he Legion Junior haseballers are
going to have a new diamond with
new bleachers and everything in
I about a week. The season opens
I next week. We'll all he out to swell
the chorus of rooters.

I ion i be surprised if our boys cop
the title honors. The team look's
great right now.

FATHER MACKIN HAS MAO
CAREER OF ACHIEVEMEN1
Ht. Franc In de Bales Parish, Colum
bla's junior parish, of which the K??v
Thomas J. Mackln is pastor, is now
completing Ih? seventeenth year ol
its history. It was founded In mid
hummer of 1920 by the Itev. !?uii
, Jacquler of the Oblato Fathers of 8t
> Kraut 1m de Hales, for which reason
[ the church wan so named Fathel
Jacquler built the temporary church
and served for three years, until 1933,
I when he was succeeded by the Itev.
; Martin C. Murphy, now pastor of St.
Peter's and deair of the Columbia
District. Father Murphy remained an
pastor until 1904, when he succeeded
the late Dean Nicholas A. Murphy us
pastor of Ht, Peter's.
Father Murphy's successor was the
Rev. Daniel M. O'Brien, who remained
until mid summer of 1936, when 111
health compelled his retirement. Father
I. Edmund Durke of St. Patrick's
church, Charleston, acted as administrator
until October 1, 1936, when
Fathert.Mackln, formerly pastor of St.
Paul's church, Spartanburg was named
pastor.
< Ht. Francis de Salos church is located
in that part of Columbia known
as Shandon, within the city limits,
and about three miles from the center
of the city, the fumed State House.
The church, a rebuilt K. of C. Wartime
Recreation building at ('amp
Jackson, Is located at f>16 Maple
street.
Ht. Francis de Sales purish is in the
line of growth of Columbia, and is
In a section of the city which is experiencing
a phenomenal growth of
homes and stores. At this time within
the limits of the parish fully 125
now buildings, mostly stores, are being
erected; it Is probuble that the
parish will witness more new homes
built within its confines than any
other palish In South Carolina, thus
giving an assurance of its future.
One of the greatest projects anticipated
in Shandon is the erection of a
now church, which Is covered In an
urticle elsewhere in this issue
Father Mackln, St. Francis de
Sales parish's pastor, is one of the
most able, zealous and beloved pastors
in the Southeast. Horn in Cathedruj
purish. Chicago, Father Mackln
was educated at Mt. Carmel Parochial
school, St a Vincent's Catholic high
school, Wvanston academy, prep
school of Northwestern university, the
University of .Notre Dame and the
College of Science at the Catholic university
of America, Washington, I)
C. At Notre Dame Father Mackln
lived In the same hall with the Very
Rev. John F. O'liara, C. S. C., then
a student, now president, and the late
famed Knute Rockne. In 1913, he entered
St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore,
received all minor orders at the hands
of the late Bishop Thomas Shahan,
rector of the Catholic University, and
was ordained to the priesthood in
May, 1918,
As a luy student at the Catholic
University, Father Mackln became acquainted
with Monslgnor William T.
Russell, as a member of the Good
Shepherd's League at St Patrick's,
Washington, where Bishop Russell
was then pastor. When Bishop Russell
was appointed to Charleston, he
Invited Father Mackln, who had started
his studies for the priesthood, to
the Charleston Diocese, and as a result
Father Mackln was ordained for
the Diocese or Charleston.
Father Mackin came to Charleston
after his ordination, was curate at
the Cathedral, secretary to Bishop
Russell during the war, and at the
same time acted as first pastor of
Our Lady of RanBom church, Georgetown,
chaplain at the Marine Barracks
at Parris Island, attended St. Peter's
at Beaufort and St. Mary's at Yonge's
Island, and was emergency chaplain
at various camps throughout the Diocese.
In October, 1919, Bishop Russell appointed
Father Mackln the first resi-?
dent pastor of the Anderson missions,
with 7.000 square miles of territory.
Having no house in which to live, he
had a room with a Methodist family
and dined with a Presbyterian family,
who showed him every kindness and
consideration. He established regular
services for the Catholic Cndets
at Clemson College, and did fine work
in repairing church properties and In
cleaning and planting them through
his mission territory, which was almost
as large as Massachusetts.
Bishop Russell then insisted that
Father Mackln have a house of ills
own in which to live, and appointed
him pastor at Orangeburg and its
square miles of mission territory, including
Blackville, Barnwell, Bamberg.
Springfield and other cities of
size, thirteen missions and stations
among them Here he repeated his
work at Anderson, remaining until
October, 1932. when he was named
pastor of Ht. Mary's of Perpetual Succour
at Camden ami its missions, ineluding
the venerkble old St. Peter's
church. He landscaped and otherwise
developed the Camden property in
such a way that It became one of the
most beautiful places In that beautiful
resort, developing also a fine current
of distinguished Catholic visitors
from the north.
In October. 1926, Father Mackln
I was appointed pastor of St. Paul's
1 church, Spartanburg, with its missions.
including Gaffney and Union,
repenting here his work of beautifying
In his previous parishes. Here he
remained until appointed to St Fran
els de Sales, where he immediately
applied himself to plans for the erec
, tion of the church, thus carrying ou1
1 a program Father Murphy had close
to his heart as pnstor when the de
presslon intervened.
Father Mackin's efforts to beautify
the church properties with which he
has been connected is characteristic
of him. for he Is ever striving to re
veal the beauty of Catholic teaching
liturgy, history and other phases ol
the church He is credited by so dis
tinguished an authority as Monsignoi
Gwynn as being a liturgical special
1st; he hns depended the interest o
many priests of the Diocese to the re
turn to the ancient and medieval vest
meats, traditionally Catholic churci
ornaments, correct church music an(
accurate ceremonial.
In all his parishes. Father Mackli
has placed emphasis on the qualitj
of the ( atholicity of his congrega
tlons, and has Impressed upon hii
parishioners the necessity of sacrlflc*
I in order to develop It * He abhori
spineless ( atholics, and his -^very ef
*
fort Is bent toward making his parishioners
proud of their faith.
Father Mackin has served in every
part of the Diocese of Charleston,
from the coastal plain to the mountains,
and it is probable that no priest
in the Diocese knows the state and its
people better. He has thousands of
friends among Catholics and nonCatholics
alike throughout the state,
and his transfer to larger fields has
always been a source of regret to the
parishioners and friends^he left behind.
Father Mat-kin's parishes have
of their Catholic faith, and St. Francis
de Sales parish in Shandon under his
zealous direction possesses these virtues
in an eminent degree.
Tentative plans are being considered
right now of the needed new St.
Francis de Sales church, at Columbia.
The parish desires to have the new
church known for its perfect embodying
of all that goes to make a thoroughly
Catholic house of worship.
Its excellence will not be most evident
in its size nor in the cash outlay,
but rather in its perfection of
design and in the fineness of all that
will comprise it* appointments. It is
hoped to have it thoroughly modern
in its ministration to physical comforts
in the way of seating, lighting,
heating and cooling. The traditional
forms will be employed in architecture
and the appointments and ornaments
will all be in accord with the
architecture.
The nave will be marked off from j
the choir, which in turn will be well
set apart from the sanctuary. It is
hoped that the time may come when
the proper male liturgical choir will
occupy the choir stalls, but there will
i be a gallery set to one side from the
. choir wherein the mixed choir will
, be located; both choir spaces so lo.
cated that one pipe organ will serve
, both choirs.
The architect to be chosen will not
> be as a result of any competition al.
though in all probability several ar;
chitects will be asked to present their
i suggestions. Already several have
. sketched interior and exterior plans.
No plan will be accepted until it has
r had the approval of a reference board,
t the members of which are teachers of
, architecture in schools located var'
iouHly about the country.
, As far as possible the ornaments
t and appointments will be made by
. hand. As far as possible Southern
r products will be used, and as far as
. posstble Southern and especially local
I labor and contractors will be favored.
Two great priest builders will be

ity, Msgr A, K. Gwynn, of Greenville,

ZEPPELIN TRAIL MARKED
1 BY DIRE FATE 8INCE 1913
I
New York.?The wreck of tlie
nujeatic Hindenburg at Laltaburet,
N. J., blotted Germany's proud
pioneering record in development of
llghter-thun-alr craft, a record ih&t
had been free of peace time dlaaater
uiuce 1913.
In thoHo 24 yeara, while the United
States, England, France and Italy felt
the blight of dirigible trugediea, Germany?
Zeppelin? rode to uky conquest?,
with the durable Graf Zeppelin
and the Hlndeburg blazing the
trail?.
The Graf still is in service between
Germany and South America on fortnightly,
trips, after eight years of flying
that covered more than 1,000,000
miles, included a round-the-world trip
und 139 Trans-Atlantic voyages prior
to January, 1937.1
The Hindenburg made ten round
trips between Germany and Lakehurst
last year and the flight that ended in
catastrophe yesterday was the first of
eighteen scheduled this summer.
The United States' experiments
with dirigibles have cost nearly 200
lives and millions of dollars.
Most costly of American disasters
was the wreck of the giant Akron,
which plunged into the ocean off
Barnegat, N. J., at midnight, April 4,
1933.
Two years later, on February 12,
1935, the Akron's $5,000,000 sister
ship, the Macon, was lost.
Two other disasters marked the
early history of American dirigibles.
A storm ripped apart the $2,000,000
Shenandoah near Caldwell, Ohio, on
September 4, 1925, and the Roma
bought from Italy by the Navy department
was wrecked by a broken
rudder cable over Hampton Roads,
Va., on February 22, 1932.
In addition to thlB wreck, England
had one of the worst of the dirigible
ragodies in the loss of the R-101, then
the largest craft of its kind in the
.vorld, which wrecked in France while
on a trial run to India.
France had its disaster v December
21, 1923, in the destruction of the
Dixmude off the coast of Sicily.
Italy, besides building the ill-fated
Roma, saw its own Italia the victim
of a wreck within the Arctic circle in
May, .1928.
