Camden High* Show I
Class In Pastlmel
(liy The Skipper)
A disappointingly small but vocif-1
erously loyal crowd of baseball fans
saw a nifty pitching exhlbltlou at the
Camden pastime pasture Tuesday af- j
lerneon when the Black and Gold larruped
a crew from Orangeburg high
by a score of 6 to 3.
The pitching epic was offered by
Clarence (Monkey) Biggins, l*yw
pld seventh grader, who Is doing hill
duty lor the first time In his youthful
career. For seven Innings Monkey
bartlud the efforts of the Orangeburg
sluggers to connect, giving up but two
blows over that period. Nine of the
opposing club swingers went down via
the whlfT route. ? >
The Camden lads put up as nice an
exhibition of playing as wo have witnessed
in the four years we have listed
Camden as our home town. It was J
a brand of ball that merited ft full
grandstand and bleachers. Biggins
was traveling easy and with confld I
dence while his support wus beautiful
to watch. It was only In the two final J
frames did the support falter and that I
was rdue to the Injection of severs) |
reserves Into the lineup. Blows that
should have been easy outs went for I
hits and Orangeburg scored three j
runs on five hits and several errors in
the eighth and ninth. I
Cox was full of pep, catching a nice
game and running wild on the sacks.
Taylor annexed two of the five blows I
recorded by the locals, getting two I
for two. In three other appearances
on the swing post he drew walks, giv-1
ing him a neat one thousand average j
for the afternoon pastime. j
This Biggins is going to be a factor
in Camden baseball for some '<?pr I
years to come. Right now he shows
more stuff than any hurler the highs I
have boasted in several years. In I
1941 and 1942 and thereon, he should
really prove a tower of strength for I
the Gold and Black. I
'.This afternoon the Camden team I
takes on the Darlington high school
wrecking crew. Darlington has been j
traveling at a fast clip this season
and it Is going to require some alert
play to get by them this afternoon. , |
In the game Tuesday Camden scoied
a run in the second, two in the
third, one in the sixth and two in the
seventh. Orangeburg scored one in
the eighth and two in the ninth. Camden
got five hits and made four errors
while OTangeburg hit safely seven
times and made four errors. I
Zelgler, who pitched the first six
inniugB for Orangeburg, was wild but I
was stingy with hits. However, the
locals managed to connect with men
on the sacks and that Is what paid off
in the final analysis. Browder went
In to pitch for the visitors in the sev-1
enth and Camden welcomed him by
scoring two runs. ]
Camden baseball fans will have an I
opportunity this afternoon to demon-1
at rate their loyalty and interest in ihel
baseball group. . ]
