Bishopville Bows To Camden Team By Skipper Camden high took sweet revenge upon the peppery Bishopville baseball pastlmers in the Bishopville pasture last Thursday, spanking them by a 12 to 5 score and more than making up for the tle game that was played here earlier in the season. Smarting under the lambasting that they had encountered from the Sumter gang in the two encounters with the pigeon breeders, the Greys branished their war clubs and proceeded | to give one Mister Watson, on the mound for the Bishops, a lovely (parI don that word as all editors detest it) i shellacking. Fifteen lusty clouts i screeched into the outfield from the hickory poles handled by Camden stal- j | warts. This merry-go-round of swats caused the home lads to acquire a bad attack of jitters and they mussed the apple six times during the fracas. Cox, Merrill and Outlaw led the attack on the curves of Mister Watson. | Cox gathered unto himself a pair of double knocks, Merrill grabbed a double and a single while Outlaw showed : that he should play a regular berth i on the team by nicking the slants for three nice singles. Wilbert Williams went the route for the Qreys, gathering the opposition under the blankets in all but two frames.- Camden scored four In the second, four in the fourth, two in the fifth and two more in the ninth. The Greys hotted the ball but three times. The score: Camden 040 420 002?12 55 3 " Bishopville . . . 002 000 300? 5 10 6 Williams and Cox; Alexander, Watson and Rembert.

Camden Team Wins Over Olympia Outfit Wilbert Williams, the tell chap who rates as an aco of the t'nmdeu 111kh hurling staff did some awelllgant mound work Tuesday by handcuffing Olympia Highs of Columbia, to llniah on thu top of a 2 to 0 score. Williams gave the Columbia lads but one scratch hit during the pastime while his mates got to Martin of the opposition for nine hits. The visitors were weak on defense and Camden was quick to break in with hits when the visitors were groggy. The game, arranged without any advance ballyhoo did not bring out the crowd ihut should huve boon oil hand to cheer a really tine performance on the part of the Small squad.
