Camden "Darlings"
Have Fine Record
v
Jake HiiyiHm' "Darlings," un alert,
aggressive and skilled playing aggregation
of girl softballer's have hung
up an enviable record thin season,
playing some eleven guinea to date
and winning eight of them. Practically
all of the games have been played
away from home, us Camden does not
have u lighted softbull arena.
The "Darlings" have played all their
gumes against girl team's from other
titles and to date the only team to
have un edge on them In a series Is
the I^ancaster Maidens. Plans for a
third game with the Lancaster team
are being mude and if completed will
bring the two teams into action on
the Ijauren3 street athletic field here
some time next week.
The "Darlings" are also seeking a
game In Columbia against the McCrory
Five and Dime Maidens. These
counter girls from the dime store havo
the fastest team in Columbia. A
game programmed with the Charlotte
girl's champion team in Camden Friday
night was called off when only
half of the Tarheel team showed up.
The "Darlings" offer a string battery
combination In Mary Ellen McDowell
as pitcher and Neta Godwin
as catcher. Doris Crolley holds down
the first sack and Annie Mae Godwin
is at second. "Dlnkio" Davis works at
third and the shortstop position is
handled by Mary Caulder alternating
with Inez Parker. In the outfield Is
a power pf defense with Murgaret McDowell,
Mao Trapp, Minnie Sue Bruce
and Betty Godwin.
The coaching of the "Darlings" is
in the hands of Jake Waynes with
Mary Ellen McDowell, team captain
and pitcher as assistant. The team!
plays alert baseball and is developing
so rapidly that next season the'
- girls will be in the fight fOFThe state
softball title
The bureau of recreation has arranged
to bulletin the announcement
of next week's games and strongly!
urges Camden people to witness the
"Darlings" in action."
Tho Camden Darlings will take part
in the state softball tournament to
be held at Columbia, beginning August
lfi. according to announcement
made by Manager Jake Waynes.

Fate Of Baseball
Hangs In Balance
The attention of Camden baseball
fane ie called to the fact that the Palmetto
State baseball league will close
the 1939 season here on Saturday, August
19, with a. game played with the
Sumter Gamecocks.
This gafhe will be a booster event
and It Is hoped that every baseball
fan In Camden and Kershaw county
will make It a point to attend this
game in order that the Chiefs may
get out of the "rod" on the 1939 baseball
venture.
From reports received from other
cities in the league, Camden rauks
lowest In point of game attendance.
This, In view of the fact that the Kershaw
team has played through the
season with but one victory rung up,
is a sorious reflection upon the sporting
spirit of Camden.
This same apathetic attitude, exemplified
when the Syracuse Chiefs were
in training here and later during the
high school and Junior Legion programs
Is, in our opinion, distinctly
un-American.
While it Is true that the Palmetto
leaguers here have had Borne bad
breaks In weather conditions, the fact
remains that the attendance has been
away below par. Those who sponsored
the team have had to dig down in
their pockets to meet expenses. Preseason
pledges of support were forgotten.
The future of baseball hangs In
the balance at this time. For Camden
to drop out of the Palmetto loop in
1940, will brand the community In an
unfavorable light all over the state.
Over in Sumter the 1939 league season
has been a big success. The home
games have been finely patronized and
the Gamecocks have made a nice bit
of change on the state league pro-_
grant. The same is true at Hartsvllle
and Chester. Lancaster and Kershaw
have had fair support. Camden, ad-'
vertised as the sports center of the
midsouth, is the weak sister so far as
fan loyalty is concerned.
Fans of Camden and Kershaw county
will have a chance to show Just
how red their blood Is on Saturday,
August 19. when the Sumter team
plays the Chiefs in the final home battle
of the year. It will be a booster
game and those who attend will be
genuine boosters.

Lancaster performed the unexpected
last Saturday, defeating the Sonoco
team of Hartsville, league leaders, 9
to 2, In a game played between rain
falls.
Hartsville had a two run lead going
Into the fifth and when rain threatened
the Sonoco team hurried the
play, blew up and when the nino Innings
were over l^ancaster was leading
9 to 2.
Camden dropped a pair of games to
Chester at Chester and they rated as
the best games of the season in the
mill town.
Much depends on the games this
' week so far as the league leaders are
concerned. Hartsville, now leading
the league by a full game is doped to
defeat Kershaw on Thursday and Saturday,
while Chester meets a tartar
in the Sumter Gamecocks. In fact
if Sumter takes both gaihes, or more,
if a double bill Is played at one of
the meetings, the Gamecocks will be
in second place.
Camden Glorious,
Even Tho Defeated
(By Skipper)
Aggravated by the superb pitching
"of Major Thompson, the Camden
Chiefs chronic lmpotency at bat took
! an alarming turn for the worse Tuesday
at Chested and in a two game encounter
with the Cardinals of that
bailiwick, gathered but six blows and
dropped two whitewash battles by the
scores of of 2 to 0 and 1 to 0.
Dicky DuBose, the Hillcrest lad, essayed
the task of lion tamer in the
first game and was nicked for seven
blows, several of them being responsible
for the two runs that Chester
gathered to cop this initial contest.
In the second game Ferdie (the
Bull) Durham and Moore, the Camden
ace, hooked up in one of the prettiest
pitching duels of the, season in the
Palmetto circuit. Each hurler gave
four blows, but Chester managed to
bunch enough to put over the lone
run of the seven inning game.
What pleased the small but loyally,
enthusiastic group of Canule^ fans in
the bleachers was the fact that the
Chiefs played brilliant ball and during
the sixteen innings that featured
the double attraction not a single
bobble was chalked up against the
Camden team.
Moore was the victim of the Chief's
hit less talent. The Camden mound
artist was knocked into the losing
position in the fourth frame of the
second game.
A big crowd of fans gathered at the
Chester diamond pasture to witness
the fracas and each and every one admitted
the afternoon had featured two
of the best games seen in the mill
city this season.
Major Thompson did himself proud
in the first game, giving but two hits
to the Camden hatters. At that he
carried a horse shoe, for his support
was so good Camden was robbed of
two certain doubles through some
spectacular outfield work.

The mayor took him into city hall,;

COMMENT8 ON MEN AND THING8
(By Spectator)
Too much fried chicken! Yea, air,
you can eat too much fried chicken.
Did your mother ever rebuke you In
your amallboy days, saying, "Your
eyea are bigger than your atomach?"
Well that holda true yet. It all happened
at State Park, three miles from
Myrtle Beach. In saying that I do
not mean to credit Chief Forester
Smith with providing the chicken.
I Lota of chickens were there?baked
{chicken, baked brown at that; but
I'm talking about that toothsome, edible
Southern delicacy known as fried
chicken.
Spectator likes to renew his friendship
with editors and goes out on the
trail now and then to get fresh impression.
He made a quick loop, calling
at Florence, Conway, Myrtle Beach
and Georgetown. A blockaded road
cut him- off from Editor Cromer, In
Klngstree.
Florence Is-spoken of so often as a
rail road center that many forget that
it Is the hub of as fine farming country
as can be found In the United
States. For ten miles in every direction
there is very little waste land.
On the contrary the land Is fertile
and highly developed. Substantial,
progressive farmers make up the rural
environment and a fine shopping
city tops It all. I did not see Kditor
Mason Brunson, for like all editors
of dailies he works late and comes
down about noon. One of his capable
and courteous associates, however, did
the honors of the office.
Marion has always attracted me.
There is something so steady .solid
and permanent about it. Nothing of
the boom or fly-by-night here. The
handsome, commodious homes, broad
streets all breathe an atmosphere
which to me is suggestive of a college
town. Must be the atmosphere
which to me is suggestive of a college
town. Must be the atmosphere
of culture, like the gentle ezphy
breathing o'er a bank of violets, as
Shakespeare says.
*kditor Palmer Johnson was at the
door of the sanctum surveying the
commercial activities of the city as I
approached and greeted his fellow
scribe with all the quiet, good humor
and rich fellowship which characterizes
him.
Leaving Marion I set out for Conway,
chief city of the Independent Republic
of Horry.
Conway has become the capital of
an economic unit as well as the political
seat of a great county. Horry
is setting the pace toward attaining
self-sufficiency. Tn tobacco, truck and
potatoes this county Is leading in diversification
and blazing the path to
independence. Horry, through the development
Qf Myrtle Beach, has become,
the pleasure and recreation center
of the Southeast.
Incidentally, Horry is free of ordinary
county taxes this year. Everything
seems to smile on Horry. . .
Editor H. H. Woodward was out
about his manifold activities. A man
who never stops, never rests, never
pauses?he has a multitude of interests
and he gives them his personal
attention. Editor Woodward is a
fighting man, a real crusader. Strength
to him.
From Conway the faithful car speeded
for Myrtle Beach, where Editor W. i
G. Hazel, of Bennettsville and Myrtle
Beach, operates a big Job office in addition
to getting out The Myrtle Beach
News. Mr. Hazel and 1 are friends of
long standing?since we lived in ohi
Saluda county, many years ago.
Mr. Hazel received jne as brother
and friend, the presence of the Atlantic
Ocean making it quite unnecessary
to provide other liquid refreshments.
I Myrtle Beach is unique in its extraordinary
growth in permanent population
and in its wide appeal as a resort.
I find that people of a half
dozen states feel as close to Myrtle
Beach as we do. There is no place
comparable ro it in the Carolinas,
Georgia or Virginia. Myrtle Beach is
becoming one of the principal drawing
cards of our state and our own
people are here learning to play again
and ronew their youth.
Myrtle Beach is by way of being
| damp to the point of wetness. The
j whole Atlantic is spread in front and
a considerable number of liquor stores
operate, too. Why all this liquor bnsh
ness anyhow? One man says that
unless liquor dealers have lots of competition
a small group would soon own
and operate the state.
Georgetown, queen of the rivera,
was my next objective. Pee Dee,
lllack, Hampit, Waccamaw rivers, with
Santee near. Lots of rivers at old
Georgetown, flowing quietly along 80
as not to diaturb the placid life fostered
through generatlone.
V -I
Georgetown haa enjoyed distinction I
aa a town of mellow livipg, the beneficiary
of Ave rivers, ^ftl'd'hub of rice
production; but today this county ia
alive with industry, emerging aa a
center of business activity.
One thing always has impressed me
here, even in 1933?the clean stores.
Georgetown is on the creat of the
wave; business ia here for those who
go after it.
I saw Messrs. LaBruce and Wallace,
of the Georgetown Times, two hustj
lers on the Job. As they were busy
with "forms" I didn't tarry, fearing
that they might call on me for presswork,
thereby quickly proving that my
mechanical genius never developed.
Have you been to Brookgreen Garden?
Archie M. Huntington and his
| talented wife laid out a garden be|
tween Georgetown and Myrtle Beach,
on a paved road, and gave this magnificent
creation to our state. l|i is
a work which proves the art and'artistry
of Mr. and Mrs. Huntington and
shows an outpouring of money to give
form to an artist's dream. A visit to
Brookgreen is worth a long Journey.
The walk through the inner courts Is
suggestive of the statellness of a royal j
park. It is a place of wondrous beauty,
majestic and serene.
Some little way from Myrtle Beach, J
three miles, is Myrtle Beach State
Park, a fine place for those who would
enjoy the bounding surf in quiet and
safety. Our State Forest service haa
made a fine place there for all the
people, with camping sites, places to
eat a picnic dinner and even to cook
one. Cottages also may be rented
from the state. I know of no place aa
suitable for a family outing as the
State Park at Myrtle Beach.
Someone has recently said that no
special qualifications are necessary,
for the position of superintendent of:
the State Penitentiary. That is not
exactly true. It may be true that the
requirements or the possibilities of;
the position have not always been con-'
sidered, but the place Itself would of- j
fer an opportunity for a competent j
executive arfd broad guage man of affairs
to prove his ability.
The penitentiary Itself Is a big institution,
it is a field for a humanitarian
who can command respect, at
the same time it needs a man who
knows that two and two make four.
I
Outside the wall of the penitentiary I
the superintendent must operate sev- i
eral farms which belong to the big . I
institution. 1 have an idea that these
farms offer an attractive opportunity
to anybody who is a real farm manager.
The penitentiary itself offers
a big market for a lot of produce and I
staple crops. Both farm and dairy
would have an assured market. The I
surplus could be put in crops not M
quickly perishable. Here is a ready
supply of labor, good, fertile land, no H
debt, no taxes, a sunj market?what _M.
a delightful opportunity that must be!
If the state should employ more fl
producers, the nature of the work peri'*
mitting, and fewer spenders we might 1
bring about some marked changes.
Farmers, imagine the possibilities
of a sure market, good land, steady fl
and abundant labor, adequate capital, j
no debt and no taxes; if that wouldn't j
be glory to a farmer, what would bef \
Since writing the above Goveraof
Maybank has appointed John M.
Glenn, of Anderson, to direct the activities
of all the penal institutions.
Mr. Glenn is a son of Spectator's ap- .
predated friend, W. H. Glenn, of Anderson,
and is a man with a good
record of public service.
RIPLEY R6VCAL0 I RUTH BACK
OF MOTHER GOOSE RHYMES
You may Know your Mother Uoose,
hut most people are stumped If you
ask them "What 1s the real story back
of 'Little Jack Horner,' or 'Tom, Tom
the Piper's Son,' or 'Ola King Cole ?"
I^eave It to Bob Ripley to dig up some
amazing facts concerning these famous
rhymes,
For one thing, Mr. Ripley poiuts out
that all the rhymes concern' actual
people or events of a few centuries
ago. The rhymes In their day took
the place flf newspapers. Traveling
players or public entertainers created
JlngleH about some current happening
and then went from town to town -4
spreading the news. Mr. Ripley will
tell the whole story of a group of
Mother Goose rhymes on hiB radio
program Friday night, August 11, over
C. B. S.
On the same prograstL appearing in
person as Mr. Rlfcley's giriujt will be
Richard Brooks, of Greensborough,
Pa? a man who despite the loss of
his sight, miraculously was able to
rescue a drowning boy. Also, on this
popular summer show will be Linda
