Ten Inning (Jame
Won By Camden
(By The Skipper)
The Qamden Junior Legion made It
three out of four In the 11*30 aeries
of games with the Hook Hill Juniors
by taking u 7 to 6 verdict in a ten
Inning quarrel at the local pastime'
pasture last Tuesday before the largest
crowd of the season.
No cannon cracker ever carried the
OIplosion that jTOvkc-il end pa t a "nrh<~ri
Jack Marshall touched off a Texas
leaguer with two down In the laat of
the tenth round with Hunter resting
on second base. It brought to a finish
a game that was Just an ordinary
scrap until the seventh Inning. From
that time on It had the spectators
sitting on the edge of their seats.
The event witnessed the first time
the local bugs have watched Patsy
Kelly, diminutive Bethuno hurling
ace. wander to the showers. Patsy
pitched his heart out for six rounds
under a broiling sun and when he
lost his cunning In the seventh, the
visitors took him apart, and four resounding
waJlops scoring two runs
and bringing the visitors to within
one run of the Camden count was his
finish. Coach Smith called him from
the hill and sent Johnson In to stem
the tide. Up to the seventh Kelly
had glvon up but three singles.
Camden opened the afternoon program
with a vicious attack upon the
offerings of one Mister Moore. Hob-j
Inson, Murshall, Johnson till hU safe. I
Holden fanned, but when Moore and!
Hough singled, Coach Hlnson gave
Moore the high ball and put Brnzzell
into the fruy Three runs had scored
up to that tittle and one more registered
before the side was retired af !
ter ten men had paraded to the plate."
Hraz/.el! improved as the innings
passed Camden capitalized on a walk
ami a sin*!-- m the fourth to add a
run and raised the total tn six in the
seventh when Johnson walked. Hidden
was hit M a pitched ball. Moore
put down a beautiful sacrifice and
Hunch grounded to sleet and was outj;
at first. Johnson Semitic and making
the Camden count six.
I
Hock llill sioied a run in the fourth <
en a single, a passed bail by Hunter j
altd a balk b> Kelly. In the fifth they!,
added a run when Cooper tripled and .
scored on Franklin's long sacrifice fly.
In tar sexenth tin- big gallery of Hock '

Hunter took a stroll on four wide
ones. Hunter stole second and Mungo
fanned. Robinson wus walked and
then Marshal), with the count at 2 all,
lifted a Texas leaguer that fell between
short and center, Hunter coining
In with the winning run,
The game sparkled with nice plays,

big hand for Johnson who was doing
duty at the Inltlal^sack. The double
play in the eighth was well executed
with Herbert Moore starting the ball
to Honeycutt who shot it to Mungo
for the double killing, which halted
a real threat.
| In the eighth, Good hit a long fly
between center and left. Marshall and
Hough both went for It, Hough caught
It, but crashed Into Marshall and
dropped the ball.
Heck Russell handled tho play-byplay
broadcast of the game over the
public address system and did a
splendid Job. Tho only blot upon an
otherwise pleasant afternoon was the
I absence of Old Glory from the center
field flag staff. Many of tho fans held
that in as much as It was an AnaerlI
can Legion game and played on IndoI
pendence day. the flag should have
by all means been unfurled to the
breeze.
It was quite fitting that the hit that
won the game should have come from
the bat of Jack Marshall. Marshall
clipped the apple in four of his five
tithes at bat. He was at the plate six
times but his third appearance resulted
In a walk and does not count as
a time at bat. Cooper and Plexico
did the heavy sticking for Rock Hill,
each checking in with a triple.
In the six and a third inning that
K?'Hy worked he gave up seven hits.
Johnson worked three and two-thirds
innings and was nicked three times.
Moore, who started for Rock Hill was
i h.ised in one-third of an inning win n '
five hits were gathered by the Cam- 1
deli batters. Hrazzell gave up live!'
hits in nine and two-thirds Innings. 1
Hra/./.ell walked seven and struck out '
iwn, Moore had one strikeout. KeLly '
and Johnson each chalked up two
strikeouts. Kelly Issued three walks '
in id Johnson uoue. Errors were made 1
hy Robinson, Hunter, Mungo and.
Hough for Camden and Good for Rock
Hill. '

Well friends. when you rentd thin
we'll be some 100 to bt)0 llltl?? awuy.l
headed for Chicago, Milwaukee and J
the Wisconsin lake region, where we
will sepnd the next few weeks In
Juhi vacationing. Sure, a few ball
game* lined up In Chicago at Cora lakey
Park and Wrlgley# field, so I
guess we'll be seeing the I ubs and
Sox perform lu their home haunts.
During our absence Huau Small is
going to look after the baseball games
and Abe Kennell of The State Is going
to ballyhoo the stuff hot off the griddle.
Major Thompson, secretary of
the Palmetto league, is going to put
out the dope on that circuit, so I
guess things will be well cared for.
There Is a lot of good sport on tab
for the next several weeks and, believe
you me, 1 hate to miss any of it.
The Junior legion games, the Palmetto
league events and some high class
Softball will offer a real porpourrl of
thrills and excitement for the sport
loving funs.
?
1 guess a lot of you folks sat
through that Camden-Chester game
last Thursday. I know I did and I
sure had the fidgets. Moore pitched
a beautiful game for eight innings and
gave up but one lonely hit, but of all
the lame-brain base-line coaching and
running I ever have witnessed In over
a Quarter of a century of baseball coverage.
the exhibition put up by the
Camden Chiefs took the ginger snaps.
To give you an Idea how dumb the
Chiefs were In that game there were
Ave innings in which they had runners
on second and third, three In which
runners occupied all sacks, and yet
could not score. In the third for Instance
Cox led off with a double.
Moore grounded to second and was
out at first, Cox going to third. Staley
singled and Robinson singled, a double
and two singles and a sacrifice hit,
all In one inning and yet no score.
The highlight of the inning by the
way was the solid ivory exhibited in
permitting Cox to take such a lead off
third that he was trapped and retired.
Russell popped to the pitcher to end
the misery.
When the visitors got four hits off
Moore in the ninth inning, it was not
to be wondered at. The visitors had
the jinx on the Chiefs and when they ,
grabbed two runs in the fifth on two
walks and three errors, we wanted to
go home and play cops and robbers
with the kids across the street. <
I
We sometimes get the ideas that the
liird who formulates the system of
;>laylng off these Junior Legion elimi- \
lation games must be one of those j
echufcal chaps Will some one please j
ell me why in the name of common j
cense should Camden have to start i
ill over again in the quarrel with <
Rock Hill just because Creat Falls
pulled out of the race. Camden al-eady
had bumped off the Rock IIlll '
sang two straight, one game by a lu '
to 3 score and the second by a 15 to 4 <
fount. That seems to be a clincher 1
?t to which team is best.
I ? i
The Chester - Camden game of
Thursday was protested before the
first ball was pitched and the reason
? the presence of Rock Stroud and I
Patron.- in the Chester lineup. These 1
boys are residents of Columbia and'
are not eligible to play in the Palmetto
league The two lads drove here
from Columbia to meet the Chester
team, which was Just another clincher
on the Camden claim. At the last
meeting of the league managers, it
was definitely understood that thes.t\vn
bo> s were not residents of Chester.
nor did they reside within the J
twenty mile limit allowed for player!
residence. 1
?
President Rlandlng will call a meet-!
ing to pass upon the protest. And l
not because we are from Camden, but ;
because w e believe the rules should j
!>?> enforced, the protest should be sustained
and the game forfeited to Camden
a
Speaking of the dust bowl of the*
Dakotas and other western parts, w?-.
have had a das: bowl right In our'
own community tor months but it bo-,
gins to look as if Hampton street'
residents might be able to open their,
doors and windows and let the fresh]
air in very soon now.
For months and months they have]
been piddling around that street Job, j
putting on clay, taking it off again,!
putting it back, plowing it up, rolling J
it dowjy, smashing the curbing at var- j
ions points because someone never
knew the art of putting planking over
concrete curbing when operating a
power machine over it. Well, it ha a
been a sad, Bad experience but thank
Heavens, it is about over now.
*
The next time some nice soft-spoken
citizens inquires "When ia the chamber
of commerce going to get industry
here and bring a payroll to the
community I'm going to get real peeved.
Did you notice that despite the
fight put up by every business man,
every thinking man in the state, to
have the intangibles tax taken off the
assessment rolls, those birds over in
the legislative chambers are going to
permit it to remain.
t Well, we give up. We've had nibble
after niblle in the line of industries
"looking for Southern locations.
All of them liked Camden and what
we had to offer, but when they began
to check up on the tax situation,
well, it was another headache for us.
They lost all interest. And no wonder.
We note that motorists are getting 1
quite lax in complying with certain
regulations. For instance we passed 1
two cars Saturday at 9 p. m., who
were traveling hell-bent on Broad
street without even a headlight burn- i
ng. 1
* * * *
And quite a number are forgetting
.hat stop means stop at a traffic siglal
and that tho amber or change
ight fs for cars to clear the corner
ind not for those approaching to en:er
the intersection before the green
ihows.
We are for taking away the driving
icenee for one year of any driver
who operates his car while intoxioai3d.
In all progressive states and comnunitles
such a provision Is provided
by law. Perhaps It Is In this state.
Why not enforce It, if so?
I believe many citizens of Camden
will be gratified if the city would
pass an ordinance requiring gasoline
auks and heavy freight trucks to be
routed around the city Instead of
'hrough the principal streets and
shopping district. It should be dono
iu the interests of safety and relief of
traffic congestion.
Wo have watched some of the gas
tanks- come down the Broad street
grade and roar past the DeKalb street
intersection at top speed, even when
the street is congested with traffic.
Why wait until someone is killed?
I
This man. Earl Fridell, who wi.T|
take over the Camden airport on Au-j
gust 1. looks good to both myself and
Councilman Nettles.
Camden sure lost a hard luck gams
to' Chester last Saturday. Taylor had J
the Jinx sign on Rock Stroud, the vars-i
ity third sacker for the Cardinals, fanning
him three times.
Wo don't want to alibi the Chiefs,
but somo of these home umpires are
sure terrible and a few are terrific
3 ?
The guy baek of tho plate Saturday
must have been the chap they hid
dressed up as Santa Claus last Christmas.
He sure was generous with his
giftsthe Cardinals.
Had a nice message from Jack Corbett,
formerly Syracuse Chief owner,
who Is motoring to California. The
card came from Cody, Wyoming. Jack
says he is having a nice trip.

That Fall Early
More farmers have used poison to
right the boll weevil than ever before
In Kershaw county and the crop has
gotten off to a good start.
It is rather late to continue using
poison but from now until maturity of
cotton, the squares should be gathered
and burned and if you will use the attached
article as the basis of an article
in your paper, I think you will be
doing the farmers a favor by publishing
same, says Thomas Ancrum, manager
of the Southern Cotton Oil Company
at Camden.
The crop for Kershaw county, under
government control, and this together
will with weevil and storm damage,!
has cut the crop down to a little better
than 10,000 bales. The county inj
the past has had yields as high as
42,000, 36,000 and 33,000 bales, and for
a period of eight years between 1912
and 1920, averaged better than 25,000
bales a year.
With the help of the county agent,
the newspapers, Clemson college and
agricultural leaders I believe we have
seen the low ebb in yields.
The following i9 being sent out in
leaflet by "Grow More Cotton Per
Acre Association," of Atlanta, Ga.:
The boll weevil propagates through
the medium of eggs deposited by the
females in cotton squares.
After the squares have been "stung"
and the eggs deposited, they flare (
Dpen, fall to the ground and the process
of the production of more wee-,
vil continues?the egg hatches into a
larva in about three days; in aboutj
seven to twelve days the pupa (a
small white grub?is formed and this
pupa becomes a boll weevil in two to
three weeks ? from the time the j
I I
square is stung?emerges from the j
fallen square, climbs up the cotton
stalks and proceeds to puncture and
destroy a great many squares that
otherwise would produce cotton.
The weevils produce Ave generations
each summer, commencing
about June 1. On this basis, assuming
that each pair produces fifty wee
vils?25 males and 25 femaleo?
following calculation is made:
First generation during June, 50.
Second generation during July 1 to
15, 1,250.
Third generation last half July, 31,250.
Fourth generation first half August,
781,250.
Fifth generation last half August,
19,531,000.
The importance of catching the early
bug is apparent. Poison early and
pick up first fallen squares, if any,
after poisoning.
A square picked up may mean the
destruction of many thousand, possibly
millions, of weevilB.
