(Cut by Courtesy Charlotte Observer) Rock Hill Is Victim In First Title Game; (By Tho Skipper) Any idea the Rock Hill Junior Region baseballers had of knocking 'ell' out of Kelley failed of realization 011 Tuesday when the Camden Juniors gave the up-state team a larroping in the first game of the elimination events by a score of 10 to 3. While Kelley was staging a genuine Irish wake at the expense of the visitors, his mates stacked up their fire arms and bludgeoned four Rock Hill hurlers for a total of 14 blows?one being a homer within the barriers by Johnson, a swell playing first-sacker for the home team Mister Kelley, of Bethune, almost gave the fans heart failure at the' start of the fracas when he issued a walk and then after the runner had s'olen second, heaved a wild pitch that put the Rock Hill third baseman,j one Mister Snyder, of catsup fame, on third base. Plexico next up bunted and before Messrs. Hunter. . Robinson1 and Honeycutt had finished a bit of sleight-of-hand 011 the third base line Snyder was out. And let it be said that Honeycutt was the lad who rac-j ed over to cover an unprotected plate and put the out tag on Snyder. Plexico tried to do some stealing and he was also retired. Kstridge then rolled to Moore who threw him out at first' to stay the threat. After the home lads went down in one-two-three order in the first inning, they broke into the scoring column in the second. Moore got a single,' stole second, went to third on Hough's, out at first and when Marshall lifted a long fly to left, raced home after tagging up. Hunter popped to the pitcher to retire the side. In the third frame the boys went to, work on Poor, the Rock Hill slabbist. After Kelly had gone out on an infield 1 roller to third Honeycutt and Robinson both drew freo passage to the initial bag. Johnson dragged a short single through second base and with the bags loaded Holden singled to push two more runs home. And that; ended the mound duty of Poor, who! went to the right field area as Moore, a southpaw, was called in. Moore went right to work and throttled further scoring by fanning Moore of Camrten and Hough. In the fourth frame Rock Hill scored a lone run and again it was some nico work by Hunter that prevented a( second run from coming in. Snyder led off with a single, stole second and went to third on Plexlco's infield out. Kstridge singled and Snyder scored. Hooper singled and Eetrldge went to third. Hunter called for a wide pitch; and when Eetrldge danced down the1 third base line Hunter pegged to Robinson who put the ball on him. Orant walked but Good retired the side .by* going out Kelly to Johnson. j 1 Rock Hill looked dangerous in the sixth when Plexico tripled to deep left to open the round. Estridge fanned but Hooper hit to Moore and was out at first, Plexico scoring. Grant was safe at first 011 Moore's low throw to Johnson. Grant tried to go to second but Johnson recovered the ball and threw to Honeycutt to retire the side. The Camden team put the game on ice in the fifth when four hits rattled off the slants of Moore, Colleton and Braze] 1, a trio of slabbists who vainly sought to stem the rush. The barrage of swats caused the visiting team to blow sky high and four errors were tossed into the record to add to the mess. Hough led off with a sparkling single, going to second when Hooper messed up the ball in left field. Marshall filed out to right, Hunter singled and Hough raced to third. Hunter stole sectmd. Kelly walked to fill the sacks. Honeycutt singled to left and again Hooper messed up the bal.1, three runs coming in and Honeycutt going all the way round to third Robinson hit to second and was safe when Grant messed up the ball. Honeycutt scored on the play. Holden then rolled to Brazell who had been called in to relieve Colleton who had pitched less than a third off an inning and was out at first. Moore hit to short and was out at first to retire the side after nine batters had tramped to the chopping block and five runs had been registered. A fast double play after Hough had singled to open the seventh halted a Camden rally, Marshall slapping a grounder to first ttr complete a double killing. Hunter flew out to right. The big event of the game came in the eighth when after Kelley and Honeycutt had both been retired 011 infield plays, Robinson singled. Johnson then selected one of Hrazell's fast ones and leaned on it, the ball going to the farthest reaches of the park, and Johnson leggiug over the entire route to score a homer within the wooden barrier. Rock Hill scored a third run in the eighth round when after Plexico flew out to center Estridge walked and stole second. Hooper singled and Estridge came home. Hooper tried to stretch his blow into a double and was out on a nice peg I-folden to Honeycutt Johnson was the slugging ace of the Afternoon with four for Ave-?one being his home run. Honeycutt got two for four, Hough the same and Hunter got two for three. For the visitors Hooper got two for four and Leslie the same. Plexico had a triple and Estridge a double. Camden played nice ball?only one error being scored against the team. Rock Hill messed the game up five times. The game required two hours and 23 minutes to play. The extreme heat?for it was like a bake oven on the field?was responsible for the tardy action. A fair crowd turned out for the pastime which was enlivened by some really neat play-by-play broadcasting by Beck Russell, player-manager of 1 the Chiefs of the Palmetto league.

There was no record vote. The extra pay amendment was adopted by a tremendous oral vole after It was offered by Kept). Scales of Union, Cheatham of Abbeville, (iyles, Kearden and Craig of Aiken, IIukh and Mason of Oconee, Kslridge of Kershaw, Culler of Orangeburg and Home of ltichlund. It provided JIG extra pay for each duy of the session in excess of the constitutional 40-day session for which the sulary of $400 is fixed by statute. The additional money was specified as "official expenses." Today was the 89th legislative day of the present session which has already broken all modern records for length. Under the amendment, which still needs senate approval to become final, legislators would be entitled to $490 through today. The total cost ior all legisiacw.s through today would be $82,810. .The vole was so quick that several 'Vvtra pay" opponents were caught j off guard. Ucppurd of Chesterfield later said to speaker Sol Ulatt: "1 want to commend you for using the words 'full pay' lllatt so termed the amendment when referring to it after its adoption. The- sen a t o meanwhile lieoated briefly a resolution by Johnson, of Kershaw calling for a recess of the general assembly after this week unj til July 5 to give conferees on the general appropriation bill time to reach an agreement. Action was delayed when Senator Brown of Barnwell, one of the conferees said there was the "barest possibility" conferees could make their J report today and thereby allow slue j die adjournment by the week-ond. Hep. Winchester Smith, a house conferee, meanwhile arose to a point of personal privilege in the other j chamber to charge that the highway department was responsible for the deadlock in the free conference. He said a radio commentator had charged him with holding up tHo conferees. "1 feel that I should let the people know who is holding up adjournment of this legislature and that is the highway department," Smith said. "Unless 1 am otherwise directed by this house, I will not sign any report that does not carry some direct appropriation (diversion) of highway funds." The house went into committee of the whole to express the sentiments of the house to the conferees. Twice before in secret sessions the house reaffirmed Its stand for diversion without a compensating bond Issue. Before voting on the motion for a committee of the whole many members insisted that it be made clear that it may be open. Rep. Pope of Newberry stressed that his motion provided that. While on the deficiency appropriation bill the house adopted a Berkeley county delegation amendment providing $27,391 additional for tills year for rural sanitation, and a York delegation amendment for the state to pay $5,382 to Rock Hill for payment of paving assessment against Winthrop college. By a roll call vote of 57 to 57 the house refused to adopt an amendment to direct the highway department to take over 1,000 miles of county roads in each of the years 1939 and 1940. The amendment was Identical to the bill recently vetoed. Governor Maybank suggested that such a provision be Inserted in the general appropriation bill. As amended the deficiency bill went back to the senate for concurrence in house changes. The house gave third reading to the bll to place the training school for feeble minded under the control of the board of regents of the state hospital. It went back to the senate for concurrence In amendments. The house refused to accept senate amendments to the bill to allow quarterly employers' reports?Instead of monthly?to the unemployment compensation commission. Chairman Pratt of the social security committee said that the senate made far-reaching changes in the administrative features of the unemployment compensation act. At his suggestion the house amended the bill to return It to the form In which It originally passed the house. I The house also adopted an amendment by Smoak of Dorchester to exempt from the unemployment tax lumber and turpentine Industries. The senate killed, 14 to 10, a bill by McCall of Marlboro to provide for liens on sums recovered for personal injuries for expenses of hospitalization and medical care. Sent to the hotlse was a bill by Mc* Bachln of Florence to require vehicle* transporting aa much aa 100 gallons of gasoline to atop completely before passing over grade croaalnga. Rep. Luther A. Moore, 73-year-old Lee county legislator. Issued a formal ] s.'.a?settjinx ho was "mora Inlerested In adjourning tills week than the average member" becauso ho plana a bicycle trip to Miami. Moore said he "contemplates a trip ( to Miami, Florida, by riding a lady's * bicycle to that southern city, but hel( does not intend to leave 011 this trip ' until the legislature has milked Ben 1 Sawyer's old cow." A bill to authorize the chartering ] of non-profit hospital care corporations to furnish low cost hospitallzation was reported favorably today by the senate banking and Insurance committee. ' Amendments provided that the corporations would be required to have at least $5,000 in assets and to report annually to the Insurance cotumis- 1 sinner and apply to him for continu- ( unce of their licenses, which would be ' issued at his discretion. Licensed in- 1 surance companies dealing in hospital ' insurance would bo allowed to con- f tract with hospitals for furnishing benefits to their policy holders and I benefits would be limited to ward service costing no more than $3 a day.

Schlletter, extension horticulturist, reminding farmers of tho importance of :he fall garden. "A garden that costs Mf) or $20 a year besidps labor should return three or four times that amount n vegetables, and the labor?Just a deasant form of exercise?is fully offset by resulting good health." Schlletter adds. The fall garden spot should bo en idled with both stable manure and 'ommercial fertilizer, according to the lorticulturist, for the vegetables diould liavo an abundance of plant 'ood at all times so that they can crow rapidly to maturity. As helpful reminders In fall gardenng Mr. Schilletter says: Give tho fall garden thorough and 'roquent shallow cultivation. Watch fur insects and stop them promptly.
