Two Civic Clubs
To Play Game
Camden Rotary and Kiwanis baseball
talent will clash lu the annual
struggle for civic club supremacy
Wednesday. ?July 6, at the I*aurens
street recreational field.
The battle between these titanic
teams will be staged as a benefit affair,
the proceeds to go to the local
committee having charge of the Chinese
Relief Fund campaign.
The gamp will be literally a Rice
Howl game and as the Rotary and
Kiwanis ranks boast of some fine talent
In softball prowess, the game
should sparkle with sensational plays
and blunders.
John K. deLoach, the. genial and
dignified leader of the Rotary club
believes that his followers will bo able
to subdue the aspiring Klwanlans
who will be under the personal direction
of Sheriff J. H. McLeod, president
of the Kiwanis group.
Manager deLoach may send T. Lee
Little to the mound for his BQuad.
We understand that during the palmy
days of his youth, T. Lee was quite a
baseball player and rated high as a
pitcher. It will be interesting to see
him "reel" them over for the Rotarians.
There Is ohe player you can
bank on showing his stuff and that
is W. F. Nettles, Jr. This lanky laddie
is one of the sluggers of'the Mu
nicipal league and may pepper the
slants of Joe McKaln, hurling ace of
the Klwanlans to the far reaches of
the field. Rey. Herbert of the Klwanlans,
with Bill Cox, Dr. A. W. Humphries,
Carl Schlosburg, Hubert Wilson,
Dr. George Rhame and others can be
depended upon to give the Rotarlans
a sweet argument. A. Sam Karesh,
Dick Rleger, A. C. McKaln, Jack Mullen,
John VUleplgue, Reid Sarratt and
others will be seen In the Rotary colors.
Arthur Clark is to be cheer leader
for Rotary and Ellhu Schlosburg will
gambol on the sidelines for the Klwanlans.
Dr. John Corbett Is to umpire
at first base and Mayor F. N.
McCorkle will call the balls and
strikes.

a request for a second preformation
of this exciting play. The Jury for
the first perniormance rendered a verdict
of "not guilty," but who knows
but that the new Jury chosen by ballot
from the audience will find Karen
Andre "guilty" of the murder of BJorn
Faulkner? And remember each Juror
Is refunded the price of his or her
admission ticket for serving on the
Jury during the murder trial.
The cast for Friday night remains
the same as the initial presentation
with one exception. The part of the
night club entortainer, excellently
played first by Mrs. Charles Vlllepigue,
will this time be done by Mrs.
Elizabeth S. EvaiiH, due to the fact
that Mrs. Villepigue will be out of
town on her vacation. '

Guild that this second production will
receive the same wholehearted support
form the general public of Camden,
as has been evidenced in the
past. The Guild, au everyone knows,
Is a non-profit organization, striving
solely to foster and promote a keener

Bureau Asks City to
Improve Play Courts
Upon the petition of many of the
tennis enthusiasts of the city, the
Bureau of Recreation has appealed to
the city to have the tennis courts In
Rectory Square and Hampton Park
surfaced and rolled and equipped
with new nets.
Mayor McCorkle, Aldermen Nettles
and Villepigue have promised their
cooperation in having the courts put
in shape for fast play. At the present
time the Court Inn court is the only
one available for good playing.
Tennis has increased in Camden
this season to a marked extent and
players have been . handicapped in
playing because of the lack of suitable
playing areas.
With the courts in Hampton Park
and Rectory Square available by having
them repaired and new nets installed,
the Bureau of Recreation believes
that all of the players will be
accommodated without crowding.
