The Kendalls and the Binclairs will hook up In a best four Jut of seven game series for the city title beginning with the first game lug afternoon. As the Sinclairs have added several 'tars t.. their lineup, it looks as if 1)? series will be a bang-up affair, isd may the best team win. Folks, we have our tennis courts 'ow. and there should be a rapid defelopir.Mit of high class tennis talent In Camden. The cement court at Laurens and Broad streets has been fenced In and the court lines painted on the concrete. A court Is being laid out and fenced In the old high school yard on Lyttleton street while the clay courts in Rectory Square and In Hampton Park are to be made smooth for fast play. * The work of putting the courts in shape was done by WPA labor under the direction of Professor Baldwin, tonnis authority and enthusiast. Promotion of the build up of the courts came from the bureau of recreation and through the courtesy and aid of Alderman Jack Nettles. The city softball championship series starts o^xt Monday folks, and if any of you fans witnessed the thrilling red hot fight between these two teams last Monday you'll know what to look for when they crash in the title games. We pass the orchids to Jesse Gaskin and Bo Hicks as being the real stars of this Monday game. Gaskin hit the ball like a Gehrig and fielded his position beautffully^ Hlcks^ saved the game for his mates when he took Russell's crashing drive in far left in the fifth inning. Hicks' feat was all the more remarkable because he had to take the ball out of a night sky. I If he had missed it. Russell would have circled the bases and pushed two runners home ahead of him. * * | A lot of the fans want to know about that play at first in the second I ining when a Sinclair runner, who was safe at first was tagged when he went to second on what the Oilers claimed because of an overthrow. Manager Owens of the Oilers put up a loud squawk, but to no avail. Umpire Tommy Bruce was right in his decision in calling the runner out when the ball was put on him by the Kendall second sacker. Section 8 of Rule 27, in speaking of an overthrow at first base recites "If the ball is not blocked, or does not touch an obstruction, the ball remains in play and runners may advance at their own ri3k." The ball rolled toward the spectator's benches but did not touch anything, nor was it touched by any spectator. It therefore wag not a blocked ball.
