This subject has been looked forward

Skipper Suggests
Dedication Day
(By The Sapper)
Uaseball^faya are drawing near and
with the Syracuse Chiefs opening up
thler spring training next Wedneaday,
It is about time some of the blgwlga
In the local baseball circles
made plans for a combination park
"Dedication and Welcome to the I
Chiefs" program.
Prom where we sit in the bleachers]
It looks as if the Augusta game onj
April 6 would be the best bet for a:
imrk dedication affair. Augusta is
within reasonable motoring of Camden
and a game with the Georgia
Bally league team would bring a lot
of "Crackers" to Camden.
As for the baseball situation in andj
around Camden, it is red-hot right
now and we predict some fine crowds
at all of the' exhibition games. The
park Is shaping up fine and with an
even break with the weather, the'
season's initial game, that between
Clemson and the Chiefs on March 27]
should see the bleachers and grandstand
filled.
As for the dedication of the park
and the ofTlclal welcoming of the
Chiefs, we believe that should come
on April 5. It will permit of more]
work being done on the outfield at
the park and everything should be
shipshape at the pastime plant.
We suggest that a public address
system bo Installed for the Clemson
game and also for the Augusta game
and that each player be Introduced
as he steps to bat. That seems to j
be the procedure In initial major
league games and in college gpmes
and why not go "metropolitan" In a
big way here.

a real party on April 5. Let Mayor
MeCorkle hurl tho first ball?Invite
the mayor of Augusta to catch it?if
he can.
In the meantime, when we get the
word, the Camden News Service will
see that the drawing radius of Camden
gets all details of the baseball
irrogra m.
And an open question to the business
and professional men of Camden?"How
about a half holiday on
Wednesday, April 5, so that all the
fans can attend the game?"

Reddish Hangs Up
Knockout Record
{ Kuati'rn ap'ort writers are taking
cognisance of the fistic worth of
| Willie Reddish, the lunky Camden colored
heavyweight, who in a recent
1 poll was rated fourth in rauk among
J the heavyweight lighters in this counI
try. N
In a recent battle at Lancaster, Pa.,
Willie hung up what is believed to
be a world record when he kayoed
J Sandy McDonald, of New York, in
Just fifty seconds of the first round.
, Reddish and McDonald were sche,
duled to travel ten rounds in the
windup event of the Maple Grove
Park arena show at I>anca8ter.
Hardly had the round started when
Reddish landed a hard left jab to
I McDonald's face. He followed this
with another stinging left to the same
spot and swung two terrific rights to
the Scotchman's Jaw with machine
gun rapidity. Just four blows in fifty
seconds and McDonald was prone on
the canvas counting the stars in the
Milky Way. McDonald tipped the
scales at 207 while Reddish weighed
190.
According to the sport writers,
Willie is definitely on the way toward
title battles. He is described as being
a fast puncher, swarpiing in and
firing with great rapidity, particularly
with an effective right cross. He
would be more a bothersome handful
if he would be a bit more shifty oh
his feet. He comes in too straight
and practically leads with his right.
As a result, his rushes are usually
met with heavy drives to his body.
This, however, can be overcome with
proper handling and when the Camden
heavy does pick up some shifty
footwork he will be far more dangerour
than he is right now.
Another recent battle that Willie
won hands down was in the Philly
Hippodrome when he went ten rounds
with Eddie Blunt, who scaled 218 to
Willie's 190. Willie was all over his
opponent and in the third sent him
down to his knees. In the seventh he
had Blunt down again but lost the
round on a low blow.

a mate, but builds n nest and then
waits for a female to "propose" to
