It was a highly successful afternoon from the standpoint of baseball, for the drama within the draib walls of the pastime pasture offered everything a real fan likes?clever fielding, hard hitting, sparkling double plays. The only blot upon the affair was the miserable turnout of the faithful. It was Lester Robinson's three base clout in the last of the tenth that paved the way for the Camden victory. Robinson opened the Inning with his mighty wallop add when Johnson connected for a screeching single through short and sent I/ester over the counting block for the winning run, tho fans drifted out of the meadow talking to themselves. It was the kind of baseball that should have attracted a capacity crowd. For five Innings It was as tight as a Scotchman's purse with Camden holding a run lead-by reason of some smart offensive tactics. Then came the sixth when Letty Mcl-eod faltered momentarily. The murderer's row of the Sumter group was quick to seize upon the opportunity and when a single and a triple cracked off the bats of Farmer and Gulledge, the defense of the locals wavered. Errors In the Infield, mixed wltlvthe two blows put four counters over the pan and the visitors led 5 to 2. With, Graham, a clever portsider working beautifully for the visitors, it looked as if the game was in tho bag for Sumter. Hut In the eighth the locals, with one down, got to Graham. Tucker was safe when Graham socked him In the ribs with a pitched ball. Hilly Minis singled and the hefty southpaw began to waver. McLeod drew a pass and the sacks were loaded. HayeB stepped Into a nich of the hall of fame by cracking out a single to score Tucker and Minis. Bowers lifted a long fly to center which was safely gathered in. Robinson waited for four wide ones and walked and the sacks were again populated. Coach John Riley of the visitors waved Graham to the showers and sent Stokes In to check the Camden a march. Johnson greeted the mew mound artist with a ringing single that sent McLeod and Hayer, scampering home with the runs that put Camden to the front 6 to 6. The fans went nuts 'but their spirits were soon dampened when Reynolds, sent In to pinch hit for Stokes, cracked a long triple to the fence and scored on Montgomery's single to tie up the count. Riley was not taking any ohabces in the ninth and sent Farmer, his ace heaver into the fray to tame the Camden sluggers. Farmer looked good as gold when he fanned Hunter,, but when Tucker and Hill Minis waited on his wide ones and drew walks the big boy started to mumble. Ho lllled the sacks by hitting Haynes after Mclkeod had popped weakly to third. Rowers went down swinging and it looked as if Riley's strategy was working. In the Sumter half of the tenth, Farmer popjved to Minis at second. Gulhnlge was safe on Robinson's bad peg to llrsf, hut Newman hit into a double play to retire the side. The tenth Inning for Camden came to an abrupt end without a putout being necessary. Robinson tripled and Johnson singled ? that's the story. This lad Robinson was the king of swat for the afternoon. He faced the trio of Sumter hurlers six times?getting four hits and a walk and going out the one time at first on a grounder to third. The boys from over fonder did some neat olouting also, farmer and Reynolds both scored triples and Montgomery had a double U>^ his credlr. Three fast double killings featured the ten Inning scrap. Camden gath-| ered two In tho eighth, Mims, Bowers and Johnson staged the feature while in the tenth the same trip again took the spotlight Sumter's double play came in the second and halted what might have been a three or four run gallop by the locals. This was I the inning when the Camden batters applied the jitter powder to Graham by putting on a bunting show that was neatly executed and caught the visitors flatfooted. However, like a bad skyrocket, it fizzled at the last. Hough put down a bunt to start the round and was safe. Hunter was safe on an infield error. Tucker hunted and Hough scored Mims was safe on an infield hit and the sacks were full. M< Lend tri- d to bunt ami Hunter ro ir. d homeward from f.i'.rd. Hut the bunt was a weak popup which lira die" snared and pegged to third > kill Hunter Hayes popped out to and the threat v a.-. ov<.. . For bo tight a game. It was remarkably free of errors. Camden booted the action three times, while Sumter was charged with a similar total. McI>eod's hurling performance was excellent. While yielding 13 hits, there was only one Inning In which the Invaders were able to mass them sufficient to cause damage. The youngster did not yield up a single walk and strangely enough had but one strikeout to his credit. Graham of Sumter, who worked seven and two-thirds innings was nicked for 11 blows, gave up three walks, struck |out two and hit one batter. Stokes gave up one hit in a third of an inning while Farmer gave up two htts, walked two and hit one batter In two innings enrollment committee# FOR COUNTY PRECINCTS The now 1940 enrollment book# for Kor?hawscounty have been received and the greater part of them have been sent to the enrollment committees.
