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.
The score: R H E

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," \

V. C. Elmore, of Hartsville, had been
to a roadside entertainment house

I there in which Hall is said to have
I had a part. . He left the roadhouse
about midnight, according to the officer,
in an intoxicated condition. R. L.
Strickland of local police force and
Highway Patrolman Bailey gave chase
when Hall drove down the wrong side
of a street.
The car, officers said, was going at
a high rate of speed when it reached
the crest of a hill In front of the
Hartsville grammar school. The ear
did not take the turn to the right but
climbed up the embankment straight
ahead and rammed into an oak tree.
The impact was so terrifTic that Hall's
head went through the windshield,
struck the tree and his body rebounded
and was found on the back seat of
the practically demolished car. His
head was crushed, and right leg badley
mutilated. He was alone.
Hall was a native of the Pond Hoij
low section of Darlington county, a
few miles north of Hartsville. He is
survived by his widow; one young
son, three brothers and two sisters.

NINETY-EIGHT
"Toduy, June 30, 1937, Old and New
Shoalers are celebrating Uncle Oscar's
ninety-eighth birthday. Old
Shoalers all over the country are
thinking of this day, this party, and,
most of all, this man.
"It is given to few men to grow old
gracefully and loved Increasingly With
ithejr years. To Uncle Oscar this has
come iu overflowing measure. Hut not
more than he deserves, for his years
on these Islunds of ours, and his, have
given him something of their own
firm, friendly character, their openness
and cleanness.
"Uncle Oscar's favorite Old Shoaler,
Herble Miller, who celebrates his
birthday with Uncle Oscar today, arrived
with the sun. Uncle Oscar tells
him that he likes the New Shoalers,
for they are the ones to carry forward
in the spirit of these Islands, the Spirit
that Uncle Oscar himself embodies.
Herbie has been coming here for seventeen
years, and each year the
Shoals and this day have meant mora
to him, for it is a continuing being,
'this Spirit, and a growing one.
"Both of these grand Old Shoalers.
.with all Old Shoalers over the country,
wish one thing for their birthday:
That the love of these Islasds, and
of Uncle Oscar as exemplifying their
spirit, will continue and continually
grow. And from all of us here tonight?the
happiest birthday of them
all!,"
