Kelly Of Camden In One Hit Performance Alvln Kelly, an unassuming, Kiln I nlng 16-year old kid from up Bethune I way, came within whispering distance I of the baaebHU hall of fume Wednesday at the State League park here when he pitched a no-hit game for eight innings, only to have a dinky slithering Texas leaguer Into left field rob him of a templet no-hit performa nee. While Kid Kelly wus staging a highclass pitching stunt on the hill, his mates were coihblng the offerings of one Mr. Farmer, of the Sumter Junior Legion group for triples, doubles and singles, which mixed with some five free passes and several hit batsmen gave Camden a 7 to 1 victory in the initiul tilt of the season for the Camden Junior team. And the game was not without Its oddities and- tragedies. Beckham Russell, the head-man of the Camden Chiefs of the Palmetto league who was appearing In the afternoon drama as the man behind the plate was soaked on the funny bone of his .'eft fin in the fourth inning. Beck managed by favoring the fin by hiding It under the breast protector to continue In the role of arbiter but In the eighth frame when a foul tip hit his right arm. it was curtains. Beck stripped off his umpire gear and waved to Carl Llghtfoot to take over, Jack Nettles going out to call 'em on the bases. Whether Beck's injured arms will j handicap him In the State league games ahead is not known, but the arbiter was definitely in a lot of pain from the smash received In the fourth. Kelly's performance on the mound .for the Camden team was received. 1 1 ; Aith amazement and acclaim by the J ; fans and prowess of the Bethune lad will be watched with much interest ) -he remainder of the season. i The Camden team performed well and Indicated it will have to be reck- ' oned with in ^he district competition. Coach Smith appears to have a well balanced squad. Hunter, u Kershaw youth, allowed a wealtn of class in the catching department and it waa his canuy holding up of Kelly that enabled the Bethune ace to got by in some tight situations. Baker, of Camden, led the hitting department with two triples. The first came in the first frame when he poked the ball into deep right, getting throe bags when the outfielder let the ball go to the fence. Honneycutt, a left fielder, who halls from .Mt. Croghan, drew a walk and made a daring steal of second. Holden' walked to fill the bases with one down. | Watklns hit to short and forced Holden at second but Baker and Honeycut t scored on the play. Moore was out on an attempted steal and Moore popped to second to retire the side. I The game was a nip and tuck af-j fair for the next three innings, but. in the fifth the Camden team added | three more runs, when with one down Holden doubled to right. Watklns, j who by the way, comes from Macedonla-Angelus Consolidated school, j was safe on a bad throw from short to first and when the Sumter first' sacker began to play soccer with the ball Holden scored, Watklns going tO| second. Moore's double scored Wat-kins and Moore came home on Hough's two-sack clout. Sumter scored in the sixth on the only costly boot made by Camden. Elmore and James had both walked. Brown popped to Robinson at third and when Cordon grounded to short, Moore's throw was low and the bases were loaded. Iveavell's long drive to right scored Elmore. Kelly retired the side when he fanned Mims. Camden scored a lone marker in the sixth when Baker tripled. to far center and scored 011 an error on H01den's infield roller to second. The! 1 ^ 7* ; - J locals added u seventh run in the ' eighth when Honeycutt single,I. Hoi. den registered his second double anj \ Watkins was hit by a pitched ball to fill the bags. Moore's fly to left scored Honeycutt. Jj Sumter threatened In the ninth gf. 1 ter the lone hit off Kelly had been registered by Gordon who headed the ' batting order. keaVell was hit by a pitched ball. Mims fanned but Car* ter walked to All the sacks Kelly 1 began to bear down and fanned Oraj. i ley and then caused Farmer to pop > weakly to Watkins at first. Kelly walked five and fanned six. Farmer walked six and struck out k one.
