Lynch Bears Down I
To Defeat Columbia
(By Skipper)
Wallace "Red" Lynch poured It In
against the Columbia Capitals Tuesday.
the ace right-hander of the Camden
team halting the winning streak
of the Smith gang with a live hit hurling
performance and wuahlng up the
opposition by a neat whitewash count
of 7 to 0.
One of the heat paying crowds of J
the season authored at the new base-1
hall plant at the fair grounds to watch j
I Lynch and hia mutes put on a real ,
show at the expense of the Columbia
team. Only two of the visitors got
on speaking terms with the third
Back. 8. Harrison iu the fifth on
Marshall's poor judgment on a drive
to left by Rogers, and J. Hurrisou iu
the eighth, on a smashing triple.
Lynch used his fast ball sparingly,
biasing it in only occasionally. His
curve had the visitors breaking their
backs most of the afternoon and while .
the sorrel-top registered eight strike-1
outs, his best efforts were in making
the opposition hit weakly to the inflold.
- I
The performance of Lynch was
matched by some superior defensive
work on the part of the local infield.
In particular, this lad West never
played a better game. He gathered
seven beautiful and perfect assist
throws and engineered a snappy double
play from the second sack in the
sixth, thereby snapping a Columbia
rally.
As a matter of record, Camden
staged two double plays, the first in
the second when Doug Lynch, running
far into right, got his mitts on a
drive that, when thrown to first,
caught Corbett of Columbia flatfooted
several yards off the sack. |
The Canulen triumph was achieved
at the expense of a fad named Rogers,
whom Buck Smith, Columbia coach,
rates as his ace heaver. Smith sent
Rogers to the hill as he wanted the,
game badly. It was the ninth game
of the season for the Capitals and
they had already put eight in the
bag as wins. Epworth had gone down
before them 17 to 7, Lexington 12 to
2, Newberry 21 to 8, Camden 3 to 0.
Sumter 3 to 2, Orangeburg 8 to 3 and
11 to 2, and Charleston 9 to 8.
This lad Rogers pitched a beautiful
game and he yielded blows In only
two innings, the second and ninth.
But Camden bunched three clouts in
the second and three in the ninth
and they spelled disaster to Rogers
and his mates. j
Camden Starts Scoring
In the second frame Bundrlck
startled the fans from their lethargy
by swatting the apple for a double.
Robinson rolled to Rogers who retir-;
ed him at first. Bundrick darted to
third on the putout. Marshall guessed
wrong on several of Roger's shoots
and went down swinging. Cox came1
into the picture with a ringing single'
that scored Bundrick. W. Lynch,
popped a single through second and
when Doug Lynch followed with a hot;
drive toward third, which Moore,
! messed up, two more runs came in.,
! D. Lynch stole second, but died there;
when Williams rolled to Eisenschmidt;
|at second, and was an easy out at[first..
, j
j Rogers tightened up his belt after
that and while it was apparent Columbia
was doomed in view of the
hurling exhibition Lynch was offering,
the boys from the state capital;
never gave up. Rogers did not yield
another blow until the ninth. In the'
third, sixth seventh and eighth it was
three up and three down for the Camden
bat wielders. In the fourth and
fifth but four men faced him in each :
j Four Runs in Ninth
In the ninth an error by Eisen-i
schmldt on fielding Robinson's sharp
bounder upset the lad on the hill, and
J the Camden bats began to beat a
! tatjtoo. Marshall and Moore hit safely
and the bags were loaded. Cox
hit to the infield and Robinson was
out by a narrow margin at the plate, j
W. Lynch singled to right and S. Har-'
rison went into the boot column, Mar-|
shall coming home as Lynch reached
first safely. D. Lynch rolled a slow;
lone to third and before the ball could
I be fielded Lynch was safe and Moore j
and Cox had raced home with the second
and third runs of the inning. D. {
Lynch was caught between third and
home and tagged out, but a lusty i
clout^ by Williams sent W. Lynch,
across with the fourth run of the
Tramei?WesterRled tho Inning byj
striking out.
The inning that stood out head and
I shoulders in our opinion was the
eighth when after J. Harrison had
j tripled, Lynch pulled In his belt,
[Jerked his hat over his left eye?
hitched up his pants and proceeded
to strike out the next two batters;
then forced WalHhg to roll weakly to
West who killed him at first

Game Chatter
What in Sam Hill is the idea of
advertising the starting of games at
4 o'clock and then wait until 4:40 before
actually getting under way?
The idea is all wet. Let's get going
at 4 o'clock at the latest, and that
will give the fans a chance to get
away from the park by six bells.
The Infield needs a lot of attention
toward removing small pebbles and
caked dirt. In the short time the
ground has been under work, remarkable
progress has been made, I/el's
turn loose a group of workers to sift
out the pebbles and hard cakes of
mud and then drag It with a blanket
drag.
The folks in the grandstand could
not see action in first base territory
because of the several score Of fans
who persist in lining up along the
first base line.
Wo suggest the Camden dugout be
set in the terrace and only the coach,
scorers and players be allowed In it.
Keep the fans either in the grandstand
or along the grandstand line so
max Thoa6*m the stand can see the"
entire field of play.
Camden can be made baseball enthusiastic
right now, but some sort
of regulation must be exercised in
taking care of the customers.
We also suggest the working out
of an auto parking arrangement
which will eliminate a tie up in traffic
such as prevailed Tuesday afternoon.
A police officer to request motor
lets to park their ca^s in lines.
All in all. ws hara a good baseball
team. Let's make it a big season for
the Highs and the Legion team. In
order to do (bat, left hare things
done that will make "going to the
ball game" a pleasure.

Titanic Sank
26 Yearn Ago
Greenland's "iltttully white ttquadron"
of Icebergs is moving again into
that North Atlantic region whore 26
yearn ago one of the "ice mountains"
caused the greatest disaster in the)
history of ocean travel says Alexander
George in the Charlotte Observer.
At 20 minutes to 12 o'clock on the
clear, starlit night of Sunday, April
M. the giant British liner Titanic
collided with a big berg and
sank two and a talf hours later with
the loss of more than 1,600 lives
The great tragedy stunned a complacent
pre war world Into concerted
international action for safeguards
against the ice menace. And in 1913
the United States coast guard begun
Its career as guardluns of North Atlantic
shipping against thq Iceberg
peril, a service famed for its record
of not a single casualty since its Inauguration
When the under water "daggers"?
tongues of Ice projecting from the side
of the berg?Inflicted its mortal
wound, the 882-foet long Titanic was
the largest and most luxurious liner
tho world had ever known. Elevators
connected the upper nine stories
w lich were also reached by spacious
stairways. There was a theater, a
swimming pool, squash and tennis
courts, and a miniature trolf ronr*e
The ship had accommodations for
3,000 passengers and there were 2,200
aboard that fatal night when it
steamed toward New York, some 1,600
miles away. Although the night
was clear, it was claimed that the Iceberg
was so nearly tho color of t.ie
water it was not observed until a
quarter of a mile distant.
By a quick turn, a headop collision
was avoided but the starboard side
of the ship scraped along the submerged
ridge of the berg for a large
part of her length and her hold rupldly
filled with water.
Tho collision shock was slight. At
first some of the officers, as well as
t.ie passengers, made light of the accident.
In half aij hour, however,
('apt. E. J. Smith ordered the lifeboats
lowered to receive the women
and children. The general feeling
that tho huge boat was unsinkable
caused the first boats to leave only
partly filled. The Inter boats were
overcrowded.
As the "Queen of the Seas""Slowly
submerged the snip's band Btood on
he after-deck playing ragtime melodies
to cheer the passengers. There
was conflicting testimony by survlyors
&g_Jii_lhe final selection just hefore
the big ship was swallowed by
the cold waters. The popular version
waB that-'tlie last number was "Nearer
My God to Thee," but others said
t was "Autumn."
Among the prominent persons wno
went down with the Titanic were Colonel
John Jacob Astor, head of the
American branch of the Astor family;
Major Archibald Butt, personal aid to
President Taft; William T. Stead, the
London editor and Isadore Straus,
New York philanthropist.
Mrs. Straus refused to leave her
husband and they stood on deck holding
hands as the ship slowly submerged.
Major Butt busied himself helping
women and children, steerage as
well as first class passengers, into
life boats. He shouted a cheery goodbye
to friends In a life-boat pulling
away from the sinking ship.
The Titanic had sent out wireless
distress signals until water reached
the radio room, and the steamship
Carpathia reached the scene about an
hour and a half after the Titanic bad
sunk. It picked up occupants of the
16 life boats, about seven hundred
people being rescued.
Ivondon was "overwhelmed" by tho
disaster to the pride of her merchant
marine. The United States was so
stirred by the tragedy and the subsequent
Senate investigation of the accident
that even pitching exploits of
Christy Matliewson and Walter Johi^
son were scarcely noticed. ^
This spring, as usual, thousands of
ship passengers will travel through
the Ice-menaced area, their safety
guarded by elaborate precautions for
detection of the bergs and radio information
about ice, fog and weather
conditions In general.
The coast guard patrol' cutters
stand as traffic officers In the steamship
tracks. Vessels off the track are
reported. If ice threatens the lanes,
the cutter sets the atop signal and
detours the traffic to the southward.
Broadcasts covering the exact condition
of the Ice, reports on-all new
bergs, the set and drift of threatenfns
jjpo, and weatfler reports go out
at regular Intervals. Generally the
i bergs float with about one part out
of the water to seven parts under water.
One of these "big boys" with
two high sides and a low valley beI
tween than was observed to be more
than 200 feet wide and 200 feet high.
It was calculated to have enough Ice
la ft to eupply New York's summer
demand for t^so and a half months. *
Wesley Earl Gray, 22, has been In
dieted In the Federal court at Detroit
oa a charge of attempting to extorl
$10,000 from Henry and Ford
