Camden Horse Is
Winner At Sussex
At no time In the history of hunt
meets and race events has there been
such a string of victories for mid
south trained horses as the sprint!
and summer programs of leading ract
centers of the east have offered.
And It has been Camden-tralned
horses that have carried" off the majol
honors' throughout the season. Th<
latest triumph for Camden came a)
Suffolk Downs, Boston, In the slxtt
running of the $15,000 added Yanket
handlcap.when fast-stepping Pass Out
from the Robert W. Daniel's farm ol
Virginia showed the way all the way
to Beven rival three-year olds.
And from Buffalo comes word from
Harry D. KIrkover, doan of the Cam
den horse show colony and promoter
of the nationally famous Carolina cur
races .that Deanslaw, owned by Mrs
Esther'duPont Weir, trained by J. E
Ryan and ridden by J. Magee, toot
another steeplechase event at Dela
ware Park lust Monday. Farragut
owned by Marlon duPont Scott, h1b<
of Camden, was second and to com
plote the triumph of iho mid south
Sussex, owned by Thomas Hitchcock
of Aiken, was third
Pass Out was trained at the Marlon
duPont Scott track here last winter
by Thomas M. Waller. Robert W
Daniel had purchased the colt from
Mrs. Cary T. Grayson earlier in the
year The Brandon Farm's slice ol
the richest three-year-old purse in
New England, was $13,H50, a new
high for the Yankee event and $U50
more than Challedon earned In last
year's race.
Pass Out will be returned to the
Scott stables next fall and will be in
training all winter here.
Economist linger Babson predicts

I Rock Hill Juniors
Slaughter Camden
, Hy The Shipper
Camden * Junior Legion team went
Into a complete collapse at Kpeh Hill
Tuesday. losing to the Rock Hill Juutors
by a 16 to 1 score.
The box score gives Camden but
four errors, but according to Camden
rooters who accompanied the
team to the slaughter, Camden went
haywire oji defense and committed at
least eight mlsplaya. The official
scorer padded the Rock Hill batting
.averages by scoring the errors as
hits.
Harper Oault. sports editor of the
Rock Hill Herald sent this department
a carbon of his story, which
reads us follows: v ^
"Rock Hill's American Legion Juniors
stomped on Camden 16-1 In a
fifth district elimination game hdre
today.
"The local lads were out in front
all the way. Moving off with a run
In tho Initial Inning, they .scored In
the second, six In the fourth, aud
cinched the win with a quartet of
runs In both the seventh and eighth.
"Camden's lone counter came home
in the fourth on a triple from the bat
of first baseman Johnson and a
Rock Hill error.
"Young Kenneth Boulware went the
entire distance on the Rock Hill
mound while Coach I-Jn Smith used
Berry and MoCloud for Camden. Mc[
Cloud replaced Berry in tho fourth.
" W. B. Harris, Rock Hill left fieldt
er, took the day's batting honors with
i four safeties out of five trips to the
plate.
; "Bowers, shortstop, and Robinson,
> third baseman, each got two for the
visitors.
I "Today's victory definitely gave
f Rock HiH a place In the fifth di?Ul<k
, playoff which will begin early next
L week. A two-out-ofl-three series will be
k played to determine the district
> championship.
. "Rock Hill still has one game on
? deck with Great Falls. A district winr
ner must be picked by July 17.
Lin wood Smith. Camden Coach, de1
clared the Camden team was In a
' complete collapse both In the offense
' as well as defense. The pitchers could
> not find the plate and issued 14
walks while there were at least eight
or more errors.
The playoff series for the district
honors will be between_Camden and
. Rock Hill and It Is believed the first
^ game will be played In Camden on
Monday. July IS A more definite re
port on this series will be found

Your Heirs Will "
Have Trouble
It is evident already that some surprise*
are In store for meirtbars of
congress and the public when tbey
begin looking behind the scenes luto
the pay-as-you-go scheme of soolal security
adopted this past session.
To a lot of people It looked like the
answer to the treasury's prayer tn be
able to Increase beneflts and lower
taxes. Congress did exactly that. But
what has happened is that the cake
!h being eaten now and a future generation
of congressmen and taxpayers
will have to decldo how much cake is
to be eaten In the future.
Under the old plan for social security,
the monthly fbeueflts did not start
until 1942. Now they start January
1. * Moreover, a lot of elderly people
who couldn't expect anything out of
it before are going to get a share under
the new ^ystem. They will get
more than they paid In.
The reason for this Is that the system
of financing has been changed.
The plan for a big reserve will be
built up. That means present collections
from the pay roll tax will more
than carry the preseut load for two
or three years., '" |
Instead of the Increase in taxes due
this year, the increase has been postponed
three years. And the beneflts
have been increased. More old people
will get monthly pensions than
could have expected them before. Other
old people who could have expected
small pensions will get larger ones
Nobody should be deceived about
the thing. The extra money that Is
being paid out now will have to be
made up later by taxes of some kincj.
The present tax of 1 per cent on employe
and 1 per cent on employer will
"carry through to about 1943. Then
'more old people will be entitled to
dividends than are able to get them
now.
The present schedule of taxes then
will be increased, first to 2 per cent,
finally to 8 per cent. In fact the pay
roll taxes will tgke care of the whole
load until 1954 if the rates are left as
In the newly-revised law. In 1954
either the social security beneflts that
people had been looking forward to
will be cut down?or congress will
have to appropriate directly from the
I treasury. The latter course is expected.
It would not surprise some of the
Inner circle If congress never did allow
the tax to go to Its limit of 3
per cent on employe. Sfome quietly
expect thai the threat of such a load
of pay roll taxes will compel congress
to raise the money from general Income
or other taxes.
Then will begin a squawk from another
section. A lot of people such as
farmers, farm laborers, small store
owners and professional people are
not covered -by the social security retirement
plan. Yet in time congreflB
will begin to have to tax them
along with the rest of us to pay those
who are covered. And there will arise
lobbies and more lobbies to correct
that. And more and more people will
get old-age retirement.
There is no reason for becomfnfe
panicky about it. It will cost lots of
money?three to five billion dollars a
year in time. But it won't reach that
level until another generation of congressmen
comes up to deal with it.
Then it will be their headache.
Meanwhile a queer situation arises
out of the scheme to distribute the
pensions where they will do the inost
good. Under the new law a married
man retiring at sixty-five gets additional
money for his wife as soon as
she reaches sixty-five. Still more is
allowed for dependent children.
Vor instance, a single man retiring
at sixty-five after paying taxes for
five years will get $31.50 a month If
his average earnings have been $150
a month. A married man whose wife
Is also sixty-five will get $47.25 in the
same wage bracket. Yet tney both
pay the same social security tax. No i
matter hos^you look at It, It is a tax I
on bachelors.
And another thing. The congress- (
men have put up barriers against i
young women marrying old men to
get pensions. Experience with war t
pensions taught them to do. that. Now \
i widow can't get her husband's pen- <
sion until she, too, Is sixty-five. *

age in the second Inning of the first
game Wednesday evening netted four
runs. Errors by Oliver and Plyler
were responsible for two of the runs.
In the second game the Hermitage
staged their blitzkrieg in the first
inning and pushed over four markers.
Again it was a quartet of hits
mixed with an error that gave them
the counters.
The feature of the second game
was a home run clout by Carl
Lightfoot, Wolves pitcher, the blow
coming in the fifth with a runner
on the path. The Wolves started a
smart rally in the fifth but it went
somewhat haywire when Plyler running
for Bruce yelled for the spotlight
and tried to steal home with
the pitch. He staged a neat line buck
but Harrison, catcher for the Millers.
tagged him.
