CAMDEN CAGER8 FAIL TO WIN OVER 8UMMERTON TEAM It was an off night for the Camden high cagers Tuesday and when the smoke of battle had cleared from the high school gymnasium the Camdon girls had goue down 27 to 16 before the attack of a classy aggregation from Summerton. The boys took the short end of an 18 to 11 count in a game that was far removed from the general idea of basketball. The Summerton inds played a rough game and from the onset directed their efforts to playing the ball. As a result there were frequent collisions between players of the opposing teams. Camden was hopelessly outclassed in the initial quarter but played a better brand of ball as the game proceeded. Twenty-eight fouls were called by Referee Williams.

Wednesday evening at the high school gymnasium, for It was without a doubt one of the beat games 1 have seen in years. Kendall wop 2."? to 23, and believe you me. It was a dog light every second of the time. At half time the tbanls were truveling neck and inek with IS points each. And this same ding dong scrap continued right to( the final whistle. Manager Kwiug of the Kendall learn { has a neat working aggregation und the game offered Is one tlu\t every fan In Camden or the entire county should turn out and see. 1 was hanging on to my chair In the second quarter of Wednesday night s game for it surely was a thriller. The visitors, possessing a strong attack led the Keudull gang, ft to 2, at the end of the first quarter. Kendull was huvlng hard luck iu makiag ttie ball behave at the cage, fully a score of shots doing the Jitters on the rim and falling back into play when a breath of u humming bird might have sent it swishing through the net. And then came the second quarter und what a package of dynumite with both teums playing beautiful ball. Hartsville widened the gap to 6-2, on 9. free shot but about title time Suiii.ii, the long dean forward, who is a teaoher by day and a basketball whiz at night, dropped In as pretty a push shot as I have seen In many moons. jimmy Williams came across with a long shot that tied up the count. Smith got hot again and came down to tuck another one under the bed covers. Hartsville came right back and tied the count at 8 all. WillianiB dropped in a gift shpt but Hartsville came right back with a similar efTort. Then Smith gathered another doubledecker and when Allan followed with a quick peg under the net, Kendall led, 13 to 9. Before the whistle blew Hartsville shot two field counteVs and ; the score was tied at 13 all. Lack of newspaper space does not permit of an extended account of the second period. Kendall scored 12 points to Hartsville's 10 and again I say. believe you me, it was one of those cage scraps that causes high blood pressure, nervous indigestion and a few other ailments ca'usod by absorbing thrills a plenty. Again 1 say?seo this Kendall team go. Wednesday night they presented a starting lineup of W. Reeves and I, Slmlth at forwards, Jawing and A. Reeves and Jim Williams at guards. E.

C.?A youngster born this year may expect to live twelve years longer than its parents, for that Is the lengthening of the lifespan accomplished by medical science since 1900. This is the conclusion * of Harold F. Dorn, statistician of the U. S. Public Health Service, who, however, is skeptical of the statementa of 3,964 persona who claim to bo more than 100 years old, in view of the fact that 2,647 of them are negroes, comprising only a tenth of the country's population.

Representative Wilbur Qrant, Chester county merchant, told newspapermen his measure was similar to the Louisiana law that "has been held constitutional by the United States supreme court." . . . The tax would range from $2 a store In a chain of not over five establishments to |500 for chains embracing over 600 stores. Proceeds would be applied to "social security purposes under the provisions of such act or acts as may be passed by the general assembly of this state," othorwise to go Into the general fund. Chain stores, Grant said, "come into a state and take the money out of your community. They do not pay as much ad valorem taxes as independent merchants due to the fact they can shift their stock, haye it rolling, and do not contribute as much to a community as independent merchants."?Wednesday's Columbia Stute.
