KIWANI8 NOTE8
' The Klwanis club Is iudeed grateful
to John vfllepigue for his most Interesting
U)lk Tuesday at our regular
luncheon. The subject Mr. Vtlleplgue
chose was "Money," or shall we say
the Commodity Dollar. Much has been
written in recent years on this subJeot
but nevfr fyave we. had it more
thoroughly explained than it was on
Tuesday. We knew that this was oue
of John's hobby subjects, and from
what we learned It was evident that
he had spent much time, thought and
study on it Again let us say to you,
thanks, John.
The attendance was a little better
Tuesday, but not so good as it should
be. Let's have one hundred per cent
next Tuesday.

Rogers Real Puzzle
To Camden Ratters
"Jeep" Rogers, classy h high
school slab artist smut in these parts
in many moons, handcuffed the Cam* 1
den diamond pustimers ut tbo ntuulot- I
pal ball park hero Wednesday, giving
up but two hits while his inalea climb- .
ed on "Rod" Lynch for eight blows, '
which mixed with enough misplays
to last an entire seaaou, gave the
Caps 8 t0 I victory.
Idti^ood Smith's laddies started to
study aviation in the second frame,
after a major league performance in
the initial stanxa. The Bulldog gang
were a bit cocky after taking up a
one run lead in the first frame when
Cox, safe on an error by Hlacknton,
scored when Robinson poked a drive
into far right landed flush to the fair
side of the foul line and was good for
three bags.
Hut in the second inning the visitors
began to operate. BullSrd gathered
a nice single, stole second and
romped lu when Tate connected for
a nice placement. Tate checked In
the larceny column by pilfering second
and went to third of Grimsley's
out at first after Thompson had fanned.
Umpire Russell waved Tate
home after Lynch had committed a
palpable balk. That ended the scoring.
but J. Harrison managed to get
a single and raced to third on a ceuter
field blunder.
After that one run annexation ou
the part of tho locals in the first inning
that boy Rogers really got stingy
and it was not until the ninth inning
that Lynch managed to grab a hit,
the second of the game off the tall boy
from over yonder. in tho second,
third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth inn^igs but three batters a session
faced Rogers. in the fourth an
error by Taylor at third gave Robinson
a life at first but he died there.
,v- Lynch was visibly shaken by the
blowup of the second frame, but he
steadied down beautifully In the third
and the game became a pitching duel
between the two clever moundsmen.
In the fifth, however, auother infield
error shook the red head's, complacence
and a triple and single put
over two more runs for the Invaders.
Lynch bore down again in the seventh
and Columbia bowed in one,
two, three order. In the eighth with
one down Taylor walked and stole
second. An infield error gave Bullard
a life and scored Taylor. Bullard
stole second and went to third on
another Infield mtsplay. Taylor tried)
to stretch the daBh and score but a
fast peg from Taylor to Cox caught
him aB he sltd in.
Columbia scored again in the ninth
When Grimsley-was safe on an error.
The Camden team blew up completely
and when Orlmsley stopped running
he had reached the third sack.
He scored from that point on an infield
tap which Cox threw to first to
kill Rogers. B. Harrison singled and
when the ball got past the outfielder
in right raced to third, dying there
when Blackmon went down Moore to
Taylor.
Only a small turnout of fans witnessed
the game, which was played in
one hour and fifty minutes. The
downpour of rain shortly before game
time cut down the attendance.
While the exhibition on the part of
the Bulldogs was somewhat of a Jittery
affair, professional ball clubs
have staged the same kind of a comedy,
only to come back the next day
and play beautiful ball. The wholesale
recording of misplays Wednesday
probably blew the error complex
out of the team and when the BulldogB
face Newberry this afternoon at
the municipal ball park, a greatly iim
proved brand may be looked for.
