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.

'EXTRA PAY' AMENDMENT IS
ADDED TO DEFICIENCY BILL
Columbia, June 15 Representatives
voted lluuixlves "extra pay"
todu) an they befall consideration c>f
t ho deficiency appropriation bill.
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. I
JAMS, JELLIES?BYPRODUCTS jOF
PLAINS THEE PLANTINGS1
? . . . |
The 11,000 miles of farm tree plantings
in tlw Dakota*. Nebraska, Kan*-,
as, Oklahoma ami Texas put in by
the Forest Service since 103a, are;
yielding jams ami Jellies for the house-j
wife as well as protect in# cash crops j
and providing fence posts, fuel, and
tons of seeds for future plantings.
Among the shrubs In the outer rows
of many of the plantings?to keep the
wind from under the trees once they
are beyond the seedling stage - are the
wild plum, the ehokeberry, and the
mulberry. These bushes often grow
fruit aullublu for human food
Plains housewives this year report,
according to foresters In the region,
that there will bo a record preserving
of plum Jam and chokocherry Jelly.
I
These windbreak plantings, some of
which are now between thirty and
thirty-five feel high, also are enabling
plains farmers to grow such fruit" as
strawberries, which with moisture
thrive in the lee of I he trees, but do
net do so well in the unprotected soil
of tin* plains.
Last fall approximately 23a,000
pounds of tree and shrub seed was collei
ted by the Forest Service In the
Plains States (.'leaned and stored,
the seeds were planted in the nurseries
this spring to be transplanted as ^
seedlings next season. m
Fall Gardens Pay
Good Dividends
Clemson, Juno 17.?"For the amount
>f tlmo atul money spent, tho homo
card en probably pays greater divllends
in value, satisfaction, and good
lealth than any other equal investnent
on the farm," says A. 10. 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. T?fr)' rtirw ???rer ro handle
before (buy havo largo families and
many friends.
For turnips and other root crops,
remember that thorough preparation
of the soli Is very necessary for good
quality. ^
Keep tho strawberry bed free of
weeds and grass and select tho best
new plants for transplanting additional
rows during the fall,
Side applications of nitrate of soda
or other quickly available ammonia
should bo given to any plants not
growing as rapidly as they should
grow.
Don't let tho asparagus bed grow
to woods, but don't cut away tho tops
that havo developed. Weeds or inJury
to the asparagus plants would result
In weakened plants and decreased
production next season.
Philip Movseslan has identified tho
mysterious New Jersey torch victim
as his own father in-law after a dry
cleaning tag In the man's suit was
