Laurens court soft-ball parlor \Ved?
nesduy evening when a roaming, surging.

fast-Stepping Kendall Hornets 'A to 0
Arthur Robinson, tlw* one-armed lad
whose sensational outfield performance
has kept the funs roaring aud J
I applauding, officiated at the bier of
the Hpruets. Arthur Just toised 'em
at the Hornets and the Hornets just
batted Into his watting mitts. Only
six hits were gleaned from the offerings
of Robinson and In only one
framd did the Kendall's threaten to
score, that being the second when
two hits and an error put Hornets on
second with one down. Arthur forced
ihu uuxt two batters to pop feebly
to tbe tntteid.
The big crowd came to witness a
spectacle of fleet-footed Hornets running
rampant on the sacks. They
looked for another of those episodes
of-Tuesday night when the Essos fell
before the 8inclalrs 9 to 1. When Inning
after Inning went with no scores
the fans sat In stupifted amazement.
The Essos were like the Rock of Gibraltar.
Kgso made a threat In the first
frame when four players got to first
base and one as far as third. Rut
the Hornets braced and got the side
out before any runs counted. From
then on It was a diu-dong battle. The
Esgos went down before the brilliant
heaving of Bill Reeves who in five
Innings gave up but one hit In tbe
five frameB he worked. Billy was a
wee bit wild in the first inning and
gave two walks. Jackson got the1
lone hit tn this frame. In the second,
third, fourth and fifth the Kssos either
poped out, or put down slow rollers
that were easy outs at first. Only
one saw first, that being Lyles who
was safe when Taylor fussed up a
ground ball.
But In the sixth the lowly lull-endera.
the butt of many Jokes on the
part of players and spectators, the
team that had been cataloged with
the Broklyn Dodgers and the St.
Louis Browns?that team rose up in
n mighty surge and gave Bo rlickB. I
who had been sent to the mound by
Manager Ewlng of tho Hornets, a rollicking
massaging. i
l.yles was safe on Taylor's error.
Ooft and Mays came through with
singles and Lyles scored. C. Jackson
doubled to center and Goff scored.
When Salmond laced out a single to
right Jackson raced home for tho
third score of the Inning. Shirley
popped, out to short to end the round.
The Hornets seventh was short and
sweet, the slue being retired with
two short fly balls and u roller that
Mays pegged .to Jackson for the third
out.
The score: R H E

Game Chatter
Mays seemed to, have hit upon a
good combination. In this Kendall battle.
He had Robinson pitching, SaK
mond catching, C. Jackson on first,
J. Caulder on second, Mays on third,
B. Shirley at short, H. Jackson in left
field, Truesdale at center, Lyles at
right and Goff In short center.
The game pulled the Essos out of
the *<ibllar, wherein the Wolves dropped.
The Kendalls dropped to second
place giving the Slnclalrs the
lead again. The games this week may
result. In other changes. Thursday
night the Wolves battled the Sinclair#
while tonight the Merchants take on
the Wolves. Two wins for the Wolves
will put them up In a tie for first
place With the Slnclalrs and Kendalls.'

hucksters to be allowed
only on one street
Huckster* ami produce growers
who have boon In the hftbit Of bringing
their garden produce or fruit to
Camden on Saturday and selling It
from the parked cars or trucks on
Broad or DeKalb streets In the business
district, will hud thut In the future
they must sell their produce
from the market established on
Church street.
The city on Saturday officially announced
that it was the last day that
hucksters would be permitted to operate
In the business section. There
was an increase of trucks with produce
at the Church street market
last Saturday and when the fruit
growers appear there this week end
the market; should show a marked Irt
crease in activity.
Complaint was made last Saturday
to the chamber of commerce office that
some out-of-city rosidents were selling
fruit from cars parked on Broad
street. The Chatnbor investigated
and found that one car had been parked
for three or four hours whllo the
owner engaged In the selling of
peaches. Protest was immediately
made to the city officials and the
statement was made that the practice
would end that day.
The Chamber held that the place
for the hucksters was on Church
street, that It was unfair to the grocery
sores to have produce and fruit
sold In the business section. The
storekeepers pay taxes and employ
clerks for selling,, whoreaB the hucksters
do not have this expense.
