L... ?Camden^ Chronicle CAMDEN. SOUTH CARQUNA, FRIDAY. J|?.y , ,o? * * ? NUMBER 17 Camden Loses Second Game (Hy Frank H. lleath) Aflei taking a 9 to 2 lacing from .kT Camden American legion Junior team Monday at Rock Hill, Rock u|i| blew over to the local atronghold Tuesday and shellacked our home hopes <) to f,> in aB beetle a game of tail as ha? been dlahed up on the local pasture this season. For eiKht innings the visitors played a superior brand of ball and gathered a 6 to 1 lead that looked as safe the Hock of Gibraltar. In the [ninth Inning the home lads started a rally that fell just one point short of i tying the count. A big crowd of fans turned out for the home fracas aud when the locals tuged their rally in the dying minutes of the game, the buddies almost went Into a state of hy.Bteria. The home lads were baffled by the tide-breaking curve that the slender i Mr Ly'e was pushing over the plate tod it was not until the last inning that they got the range and when they did the Rock Hill boys blew up. four runs cantered home before Mays, batting for West, popped out to first to end the game. This boy Burrell, who plays the abort field for Hock Hill is a whole team in himself. He accepted fifteen chances, thirteen assists and two putouts with a boot. In the last of the ninth however he messed up a sharp grounder that later resulted iu a Camden score. Rock Hill proceeded to get Homer Shirley's number right off the reel. A walk to Jordan, an Infield out, and then an error gave the Invaders a run In the second they added another on two singles and an error. In the third they were about to add a couple, but a fast double play killed their chances. The fourth, fifth and sixth found them grasping at straws as Horton, who had followed Shirley to the turret top, mowed them down. Then In the seventh, with two down and a runner on first, Jordan poled a long drive to right that was good for four sacks. To add to the local misery, two more runs were added in the ninth. Camden struggled against the baffling shoots of Lyle for four frames and then registered their first tally on a hit, stolen base, passed ball and an error by the catcher. Then came three more scoreless Innings and then the ninth with the big uprising. McLaurin led ofT in this frame, and was out when he grounded to second. Horton was safe on Rurrell's only boot of the game. Then Lynch singled, and when McCaakill waB hit In the hack by a pitched ball, the sacks were loaded. McLaurin hit to third base, Horton scoring, but Doug Lynch was forced out at third. W. Lynch then singled and McCasklll scored. King hit through third, an error, and McCaskili, McLaurin and W. Lynch scored. Mays batted for West and popped to first to retire the side and end the ball game.

Wants Golf To Be Made Major Sport Several Camden golf enthusiast* who are anxious 10 have Camden take its place In the sua us a golfer's meeca, have approached the bureau of recreation to Inquire as to what can be done to put golf to the fore here. The bureau in reply declares that , golf can be made a major sport in Camden,, not only in the winter season, but during the summer, but that there would have to be an entirely new setup regarding the use of the golf courses if such a plan were to prove successful. The Camden recreation director su-1 pervised golf play on one of the largest golf layouts In Florida for a uum-i ber of years. The setup there was similar to the one in Camden at the present time but the owners of the golf courses were prevailed upon to permit pluyers to take part In tournament events upon the payment oi a greens fee of 11.60, of which $1 went ' to the golf club and the remainder Into a pot to purchase golf balls to be awarded as prizes. "We had a tournament every three weeks during the period from April 1 to November 1, and our average ll?t of entries was over sixty, which Is ja splendid turnout for summer golf competition, even lu Florida," said Mr. Heath. "When I first started these tournaments there were only three men in the community where my office was located who played golf. In less than u month, we had over forty who were Bold on the game and became skilled pluyers before the season was over. "I think that golf should be emphasized as a winter sport here, but first of all, something will have to I be done to provide grass greens. The sand greens are not at ull popular with the golfers and the prpfe^slopals In particular will shun them. "I feel certain that there are sufficient golfers right now in Camden to insure a successful golf progifffm the I remainder of the summer. I cfrqfeven | visualize inter club matches, v^hlch I attract a lot of attention and create j real interest," \ Ben Hall Dies Fleeing Officers Hartsville, July 6.?Funeral services ; for Ben Hall, killed Instantly early I this morning when the car he , vu | driving mounted an embankment and | crashed into a tree will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
