THE TOWN CRIER
(BY FRANK H. HEATH)
I We doff imr k?lly to Sumter. While
ve just ahout chinned our tongue
oose in trying to Interest the local
Bums in building a ball park that
BmhiM bo of a type that would enable
BIS to in:* t'-'st northern clubs In stopBun:
!n i'' for training and exhibition
taint" Sumter went ahead, got a
Ivi'A ai i roprat ion and have a honest-1
Bo-gooduo-cs baseball plant well under ^
* * * *
y,|. we have one started also, but
:> !!iaiiis a lot to be done if we
Br., toon- to try and bring majors
Bit-it' : r ? xhibitlon purposes.
? ? ?
I in first place that terrace surBi'tii!'!::iL
the field back of the first j
Bnl iii:"'! base lines will have to be,
B-u; ,a w u and a level grade establish-1
Bj La ^ a: least fifty feet.
*
I I'm' :r:?-n. Friend Jack knows that
Bu-t ?oll us we do and he'll see
hut -s are built right.
* *
B Sua".% r went out and grabbed the1
Boutin ?.-t. rn American Legion base-1
Bali Parliament for the middle of
August and will have teams from the
Bare.in.is. Tennessee, Georgia, MissisBippipi.
Florida and elsewhere there.
That kind of stuff brings crowds to a
Bowi; and boosts all lines of business.
*
I And with the fine baseball plant
Bhat is going up, you'll see some big
Beaguc exhibition games over in that
Beck of the hills another year.
I That little bailiwick known as ElBorec
ce rtainly boasts of baseball talBn:
W'.t note by the press every
Beck that the scores that this high
Bchool cops by are more like football
Bcores than a baseball record. For
nstatne. that game last Thursday
Bras won by a 24 to 4 score.
B ,, , * *
I Beth tine boasts of a fine little team
his y. ar The boys copped the fifth
iMrict 1: title by defeating lilshopBtlle
1 to 2. Horton pitched a swell
game for Hothune allowtnK but six
hits.
Well, (juito a few of the bugs rattled
over to Sumter last Thursday to
see Sumter and Camden battle on the
pastime grounds. A little rain and a
few whiffs of wind caused the gutpe
to be postponed until the following
Monday. Pretty foxy, eh what?
I a
I Flash! Karl Blue. baseball czar at
Columbia is coining over one of these
days and will give our baseball layout
a look-see and perhaps offer some
suggestions.
?
Let me put myself on record right
now that that the Brookland-Cayce
J team was unite the classiest high outfit
we have seen this season. That
boy Jeffcoat sure did some pitching.
He was going just as strong at the
fiinish as when he started.
We did not see the first inning
when Cox is supposed to have singled
off his delivery but got our record
from the official scorer. The Columbia
record keeper scored an error instead
of a hit and thereby Jeffcoat
grabbed himself a one-hit performance.
* *
Camden looked like a million bucks
in the games with Columbia and Orangeburg,
but like a C. I. O. picket
line in the Sumter and BrooklandCayce
battles.
?
The soft ball league looms up like
a real winner this season. The teams
will all be garbed in attractive jerseys
of a duo tone, with white trousers.
Through the aid of Alderman Nettles,
work has been started on the
new backstop and bleacher seats.
* * * * ?
And now if we get the lights, Camden
will really be stepping up with
the rest of the up-and-coming communities.
