' Cruising j 'i Around : i with '[ "Skipper" CRUISING AROUND You folks who were at the polo game last Sunday witnessed the finest exhibition of officiating seen on the No. 1 field. We refer to the fine work of Major Gilbert Proctor of the United States army. m But this is our surprise today. And even the polo lads did not know it. Gil Proctor Is the author of several books on polo, his latest "Polo Dope" being full of handy hints for polo progress, with many diagrams of; play. m Right after Sunday's game Major, Proctor returned to the army camp at Camp Jackson and prepared to leave for Cheyenne .Wyoming, where he will spend ten days with his family. He will return to Catnp Jackson January 2, and will be over for every polo game played during the season here. And I might add that the major will be ninth man in the field many many times during the Camden polo season. 9 A word about that polo dope book of his. The major says he dedicated the book to the horsemen of leather pants, the Jingling spur and the wide open spaces. To those who whittle their mallets from Mesqaite trees. To those who have to dodge Jack rabbit holes as they ride hell for leather down the pasture and bang a battered ball between two five-gallon oil I cans set to take the place of goal | posts. And to those other devotees of the galloping game, who, on their Saturday afternoons hire fifty cents worth of crow bait and emulate the patrons of Meadowbrook and MiddleWick on the two vacant lots beside the local livery stable. And also to those more fortunate ones, accustomed to the flying feet, the crack of the mallet against the willow, and the beautiful green turf. m Camden polo fans are seeing bigger and better polo this season than In ! many seasons past. Coach Cyril Harrison has taught the polo lads a lot of stuff since he took charge and if you know of any place where you could see a more thrilling exhibition than what was dished up last Sunday In a 4 to 4 tie scrap, well, we'd like to know just where that place is. Imagine if you can, the game all knotted up at 2 all, the sixth chukker Just about over. Harrison breaks Milwaukee Speed Cop Arrests Craig Larry Craig, former University of South Carolina footbull star, now blocking back and defensive end on! the world champion Green Bay Packer professional team discovered thut Milwaukee traffic cops are on duty hay and night. Craig was driving his car down linyton boulevard lit Milwaukee last Monday morning at 1:30 o'clock The South Carolina lad was feeling rather chesty after the 20 to 0 defeat at the Hackers with ids help, had administered to the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon. So, when another car swept past him and Larry saw IJuford (Baby) Hay, giant Packer tackle at the wheel, he decided lie would give his team mate some competition in fast drlvng. So Larry stepped on the gas. Baby did the same and soon both cars wero roaring down the boulevard at fifty per. And so was a khaki clad member of the nation's finest traffic control division, for lot it. be whispered that you just can't get away with truffle violations in the Wisconsin metropolis. There uro literally thousands of alert motor cops up in that city. So when Larry and Baby bad their cars breezing along in the crisp utght air, John Uw caught up with them and gave each a Christmas gift pf a nice white ticket. So at 10 o'clock that same, morning Larry and Baby appeared before Judge Harvey Neelen in traffic court und each were separated from $10.00 by the Milwaukee jurist. The Comedy end of the affair came when the motorcycle officer who had made the arrest and who had been in for mod by Craig and Hay as to the identity of each, informed the court: "Hay was ahead of Craig, sort of running interference for him." Col. William Hoss paid $653 for a ticket to hear Jenny Llnd sing, and then did not attend the concert. away fast, takes the ball on a Bweet feeder from O'Brien and wham, the mallet connects the lead 4 to 3 with 45 seconds to go. Major Proctor, a really efficient referee, tosses in another ball. There 19 a scrimmage, a flurry of sticks and then the ball is out as Charley Little of the Blues gets hold of a nice shot. Joe Bates spurs In and drives the willow to Kirby Tupper. The time keepfer reaches out, clutches the tongue of the bell and as he raises it to end the playing period, Tupper swings, the ball hurd-j les over the dusty turf and zips between the goal posts as the gong sounds. Play like that, plenty of it, was in every chukkef. Folks, don't miss seeing the game next Sunday. The two teams, beautifully balanced, will start out all over again in this first game of the Yellow Jacket and Rambler series. ? ? By the way, Ted Brehmer, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Newberry, and a fine fellow, dropped in for a chin last Friday. Ted came over with Hal Kohn, president of the Newberry Chamber. We had a two hour visit with this fine young fellow and we want to record ourselves as saying right out In meeting that Newberry has a secretary the home j folks can be mighty proud of. Good luck to you Ted. Ladies and Gentlemen?especially you who comtemplate buying a fur of some kind. This is a warning. This | department lias been advised that a certain group of sales people with furs to sell are duo in Camdeu within a few days, if they have not already arrived. These sales people j have furs in neck pieces, coats, etc., j which on the surface appear to be in 1 good condition but upon examination will reveal they are actually cheap ] rabbit skins. Muff sed. # Planes taking part in the air cavalcade from the north to Florida will darken the skies here on December 30 and 31, according to the state aeronautical commission. ? Camden proved to be perfect host upon the occasion of two visits of the Florida aircade here last summer and later to the South Carolina flyers club and we know the city will be Johnny on, the spot, December 30 and 31. We want to say that 300 planes per I day. which means 600 in two days la some flight. A speaker at a recent, American Legion get-together said Camden was free of mosquitoe. Any of you folks who have been lonesome for the drone of the little skeeters will lose that gone feeling when you ! llstei? to 300 planes .roaring overhead. The city did a swell gesture In giving the 193* Bulldog football boys a turkey feed at the Camdea hotel last Friday night. And we subscribe to everything Coach Vllleplgue had to say~about a hard fighting never-saydie gang of grid lads. OUR CONGRESSMAN FAVORS HUGE LOAN TO FINLAND Lancaster, S_. C.. Dec. 19.?Congressman J.

C.. asking if ho was In favor of the I'nited States lending Finland from $25,000.0000 to $50,000,Oi'O to help In her present crisis replied today as follows: "Newbold Noyes, Associate Editor, The Evening Star, Washington, D. C. . . . retel I am strongly in favor of loan either twenty-five or fifty millions to Finland against her long-term bonds to aid that brave little country in its fight against aggression and I frr the sacred institutions of home and self-government. Where could wo find a better moral risk than the . Finns? They have proven that in the past by living up to their financial obligations to us to tho letter. - Such a loan would show the world how we deal with those who deal honestly with us and how much we admire a people willing to die for home and liberty. It is true Russia may conquer Finland and if so this debt will be repudiated as Russia has repudiated other debts, but let us take the risk in behalf of the honesty, detenu- ! ination, bravery and sacrifice of the , Finnish Nation and the Finnish peo- J pie.
