Camden Wins Over
Rock Hill Team
What a game folks, what a name!
Tense and full of thrills right up to
the dual out with Camden winning by
a nose?8 to 2. Several hundred
?a swell crowd for a Tuesday fracas
?went berserk with Joy when that
clover little backstop, Cox, pulled a
foul fly out of the other to retire the
Rock 11111 side In the ninth frame.
By the victory the Camden Junior
l<eglon team, under the tutelage of
Coach Smith, assured themselves of
entry In the district finals. The game
Tuesday was a binder's battle between
Williams of Camden aud I*yle
of Rock Hill, Williams, while a bit
wobbly at Intervals, proved himself a
mound atar by tightening up In the
plnohes and retiring the visitors with
the sacks either fully loaded or with
two on.
The game looked all Rock Hill In
the earlier part of the afternoon
pastime, Williams forcing In a run lu
an early Inning' by Issuing a walk
with the sacks loaded. Rock Hill later
added a second run on a conibl
nation of wild pegging on the pert _
of the locale.
Hut Camden kept plunking away
and by adding a run through an error
und later by some lusty clouting,
closed the gap. Thou followed a series
of rounds in which the crowd
was kept in trover of exciteinont by
the faat heady way offered by both
sides to pull out of seemingly lmposalblo
altuatioiiH.
It was any body'a game until Cox
drove out a long triple, which ho
stretched Into a houier when the visitors
started to throw the apple rook*
leaaly.
Camden really turned out fine for
this game, the fans giving a concrete
stamp of approval to the brand of
baseball that the Camden lads are
turning out.
