The Camdeu Junior Legion team may get Into action within a few days as Coach Smith has several games in prospect for his charges. The secret of deciphering cuneiform writing was not discovered until the nineteenth century. i 1.11^ i a". ; Chiefs Please In First Home Hattle Wallace "Red" Lynch debuted with tlui Chiefs of the Palmetto league last Thursday. May 25, and got away with a four-hit performance ag&lnst the Kershaw State Leaguers. Camden winning K to 0. Lynch was accorded faultless support, the Chiefs playing a bang-up stellar brand of baseball. While the entire personnel played hard-alert ball and accepted every chance, not a bobble was recorded. On the other hand the Kershaw team registered tive errors, all of them contributing to Camden runs. The Chiefs got to Hatfield, Kershaw mound artist for nine blows, two of them going for extra bases. Uatlteld fanned 7 and Lynch 3. 1 A fair-sized crowd gathered to caBt curious eyes on the Camden team and one and all came away with the conviction that Camden and Kershaw county fans are going to see some fine baseball during the coming summer if the Chiefs ofTer the same high ; class brand as they offered the specta- t tors at the Kershaw exhibition event. The infield fairly sizzled with Taylor at first, Jim Caulder at second, a Benny Robinson at short and Allen a Caulder at third. Twice during the a pastime the visitors found it was just I a case of suicide if they ventured too 1 far off the first sack. In the seventh after Reeves had singled, he took a lead oft first only to find himself trap- 1 ped and run down by the alert Chief infield. Robinson of 'he visitors walk- 1 ed and when he ventured several feet off the initial sack a swift peg, Lynch r to Taylor, caught him by a wide margin. f Camden proceeded fo put the game on Ice in the first round when three blows, one a double by Staley, a beau- ;i tifu 1 sacrifice by "Red" Lynch and i an infield out put two runs over the j block. The Chiefs added two more in the fourth, three in the fifth and one t in the sixth. I Kershaw threatened in several innings but in only one, the eighth did they get a runner as far as third. In e the second inning Lynch pitched ex- 1 acily three balls it) retire the side, t Truesdale first up lifted the first ball pitched to center for an easy out. Reeves picked the first offering from Lynch to left for an easy fly to left. Robinson, the third man up, rapped ^ the first ball tossed to him to Jim Caulder, who retired him at first. The big feature of the afternoon's| attraction and one that went over big| with the fans was the speed with i which the game was played. There was no lagging or stalling at any time and when the last out was recorded the clock showed the boys to have been in action Just one hour twentyeight minutes. Following the retirement of the visitors in the ninth the entire Chief squad started on a jog around the circumference of the field. It was clear that President Nettles and Manager Russell were going to have their charges play ball in the right way and we want to go on record as saying that already we have noted a lot of things that were picked up by the local baseball Impressarlos during (he spring training period of the Syracuse Chiefs. 1 believe I speak for all of the fans when I say that if the boys continue to display the same good baseball, the same alertness and pep that was exemplified in the Kershaw game, they' will get the support of the baseball! bugs. While many regarded thn Kershaw team as a weak sister, we personally believe the Chiefs should be given all the more credit for not letting down and playing an indifferent brand of ball Just because the opposing team did not measure up. The score: Camden 200 231 000?8 9 0 Kershaw OOU 000 000?0 4 5 Batteries?Lynch and Russell; Hatfield and Jones. Baseline Patter I,ooks as If Jack Nettles and Beckham Russell really have a ball club in the Camden edition of the Chiefs. So far, that is, Including the Lancaster and Kershaw games in the exhibition program, the Chiefs have traveled at a 100 per cent gait. They defeated Lancaster at Lancaster, 11 to 9, In a torrid Blugfest and came home to take on the Kershaw leaguers on May 25. and really astonished the natives by the brilliance of I heir play. "Red" Lynch debuted as a semi pro tnd he had it over the opposition like i tent. "Red" was never under tendon and as a result he pitched a beauiful game, giving up but four scratch lits. Russell was good back of the baj tnd it was his canny coaching of the ed-head out on tho hill that contribut?d to the tine battery performance. The infield fairly sizzled with Lanky Pay lor on first, Jimmy Caulder at sec>nd, Allen Caulder at third and Benny iobinson at short. And in the outfield the Chiefs are i power on defense with Staley, Wil)ur Lynch and Cox handling the ihaor part of the show. Staley- and Cox ilmost demonstrated offensive power iy banging out two hits each. Staiey's )lows went for doubles. Hicks went in for Staley in the sixth! md while he did not fare so well on J lis lone stand at the plate he covered he outfield job nicely. And last but not least we want to ake off our derby to a youngster? lamed Charley Campbell, who did the fimmy Young stunt at the mike. Charey not only introduced the players as hey stepped to the plate "but he also Inscribed the plays, called the pitches md even gave some side-lights on Kiwanis Notes We are not sure Just who the club 1 has to thank for the attendance Tues- i day. Maybe It Is Donald Morrison, at j any rate we are grateful to someone. ] We had over thirty-flve present at the i meeting. The club was reminded of the National convention which is to be held \ in Boston the week of June 19. Ourl meeting for that week is to be held the night of June 19, instead of on Tuesday, June 20. Some parts of the 1 program will be on the air and wei no doubt will get much out of it.J Dewey Creed and his committee has : been appointed to arrange our meet- j ing and you can be sure that Dewejl will do a good job. We did not have a regular program, but Bryce Herbert acted as a pinch- ! hitter and we all enjoyed what he had to say. We can't tell 'sow lust box? what it is all about, but you vj\\\ be hearing. It will be town, county, state and maybe nation-wide. No Casualties In 8tate South Carolina is absent from theMemorial Day casualty list that to-! taled 372 for the United States. the human frailties of the playersJ Charley had the fans in a dither oflaughter.
