I Phone No. 4 Rutledge Street I THE TOWN CRIER (BY FRANK H. HEATH) Some folks are veritable suckers for a racket game. Take for Instance that group of University of South Carolina students who ordered suits from a stranger who called on them. ? / Nine of these rah rah chaps complained to Columbia police that they had ordered suits off a perfectly love-| ]y old gentleman, but for some reason or other the suits never showed up. The worst of it was that the boys had paid a down deposit. Yes. sir-e-e, and some of them when asked by the kindly-faced salesman, paid down the full amount. And so the police are checking up on the Cincinnati outfit that the 59vear old salesman "represented." ? All of which is just another instance of why you should buy your wearables from a responsible shop. There are some legitimate clothing salesmen going about taking orders ?hut there are others who are not so taxes to support the University boys carry a full line of clothing( and if you get a misfit, they are right there to make it good. Better play safe than be sorry. Camden has its list of stickers too. Hut when they get stung they are too chagrinned to let the facts be known. First of all get in touch with the police, if the proposition doesn't ring true. Tli^Town Crier will not give you away nor will The Chronicle give you away, but will probably be able to help you get a line on the crooks. * Well folks, that victory of Battleship certainly put Camden right smack on the spotlight. Telegrams poured in at the News Service office from press associations, metropolitan dailies and newspapers all over? the country asking for information about the Camden horse. It was a wonderful victory by a wonderful horse and rider. Our Congrats to Mrs. Scott and her trainer. And speaking of trainers?Battleship had three that we have a record of. Of course Carroll Bassett probably was the one who was responsible for the building up of thia hue horse Into a winner. But Battleship also had the late Noel Laing anA while in England was trulned by Bruce Hobbs. It was the 17-year-old son of Hobbs who rode Battleship to victory in the Grand National. American followers of the 'chase races will have an opportunity to ace I Battleship in action in September, for the Grand National winner will race at Fair Hill, Maryland on September 10. According to a dispatch from Aintree, Mrs. Scott did not have a cent bet on her horse. Well, we wish we had. The Highs lost their first game of the baseball season to Bethune, 2 to 1. Bethune looked better than the locals in that Friday game. Dixie Boykin, he of bellhop fame, dancer deluxe, etc.. has added to his list of accomplishments?that of picking winners in horse races. Dixie j won a few smackers when he placed a buck or two on Battleship to win. Vic Bund, sportcaster from WIS way a visitor in my sanctom Saturday. Vic came over to get his program of broadcasting for the Carolina Cup event all lined up. Vic will have several mikes at the track, one circulating in the crowd, another in thb paddock, and one on the tower. * > It looks like a hundred per cent broadcast this year. Quite a contrast to the 1937 affair. By the way?Bund is leaving South I Carolina very soon now. Good luck Vic. People who never go to meetings or participate in any of an organization's activities are the ones who do all the criticizing about how things aren't being run right. * Which reminds us theft, about six I DID YOU KNOW I THAT I I DIVIDENDS I FROM I I Federal Savings and I Loan Associations WERE I EXEMPT FROM I State Income Tax and Dividends I Surtax?

DRIZZLING RAIN FAILS TO KEEP POLO FANS AWAY FROM GAME A drizzling rain that fell during a greater part of the game failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the polo fans, a l?tg crowd being present at the number one tleld to see the Cam| den Towners defeated the Country In the first game of the Camden title series, 7 to 5. Ancrum Boykln, playing No. 2, for Country, was high scorer of the game.

The game opened with Town drawing a one goal allowance because of handicap rating. Burton raised Town's total to 2. Burton missed on' a free shot. Boykln hung up Country's first marker and a minute later Floyd stopped what looked like a score on Smith's free shot. Floyd took the ball and scored. As the second chukker ended Tupper Scored. Neither side was able to do anything in the third but in the fourth Boykln staged a scoring spree and put his team to the fore, 4 to 2.

Regardless of faith, visitors to New York City's World's Fair in 1939 will have a sanctuary to which they can go for rest or prayer. The $300,000 Temple of Religion, strictly non-sectarian, will be topped by a 150-foot tower and shut off from the hurlyburly of the carnival by a 20-foot wall. The Temple is intended to represent "the religious spirit in American life." teen loyal baseball fans attended the I meeting last Friday at the Legion hall. The other forty or fifty to whom invitations had been sent had other dates. We will say, however, for those who did rally around the home plate that real progress was made. We'll have more to say about the plans next week. Ah ha! In stepped Donald. "Nothing," quoth he, "can appear more relaxed than a big raw oyster, or a clam." "Ain't nature peculiar," ruminated Donald. "The old dame provided a firefly with a flashlight. But he never seems to find out what he is looking for. Think what a skeeter could do with that extra equipment." The ordianry man Isn't a failure. If the turtle can't fly like a bird, 4t is still a success as a turtle. Earthly angels are all right to admire at a distance, but there isn't a heck of a lot of excitement in living with one of them. ?
