Camden 1. As relentless and punishing as the midsummer sun that seared the soft ball area Wednesday afternoon Allen Caulder poured his elusive shoots against the Camden batters for a 5 to 1 triumph before a large crowd of fans. A1 faced only 24 men, three above the minimum to notch his first decision of the year. The defeat pushed the not-enough player group f|pm the leading tourist center of the midsouth farther into the cellar. The game had xmother T^ature "that pleased a big majority of the fans in that it was deviod of bickerings and argument. It was also productive of some nice swatting by * Leroy Caulder with three for three, Billy Nettles with the same 1000 per cent. Honey Boy Blackwell with two for three, and Pitcher Caulder with two for three, one being a bustling double. H. Lynch gathered a two-base knock also. The Hermits, following a disastrous conference with Wateree the previous day started right back out to sew up the midweek engagement by putting over two runs after two were down in the initial inning. Three hits did the trick Camden scored its lone run of the afternoon In the second when Mayer, singled and took third on H. Lynch's error and scored on Tommy Bruce's long drive to center. The Hermits scored a run In the second on a double by H Lynch and Allen Caulder'8 single. In the fifth they put over a two run splurge when A Caulder led off with a two base knock and was followed by a brace of sing'"s by Crolley and Leroy Caulder.

Camden Fans Watch 1 Downfall Of Clifton ..... v ( Camden fana who motored to Sumter Monday to witness the final and i deciding game between the 8umter < and Darlington Junior Legion tag^?S { for the lower state championship sat. in mute surprise as a scrappy sldg* I King Sumter team dissected the fa- I mous Lefty Clifton, Darlington's ace \ of aces. The Sumter sluggers lost no tims I In staging their attack upon the , southpaw star and throughout the J game gave hlh* * terrific shelllug. It wasn't the Trim alert Clifton of a year ago. The lad seemed to have added thirty to forty pounds and he was slow and sluggish. That he was 1 able to make such a splendid showing I this season in leglou ?ompetltion is 41 a source of much wopderment. ' Darlington fans were shell-shocked < by the rude maqi^ In which their I idol was treated* They oame to Sum- I ter with songe Of victory on their lips. With the series tied at 2 all and Lefty ? ready for slab dnty, they vlsloned an < easy victory. For hadn't Lefty turned back the Sumter sluggers on two pre- 1 vlous occasions in the series? I Sumter, with a swell lad named Farmer pitching, had a big edge on the Darlington group. Farmer gave but eight scattered hits, and retired 13 via the stlrkeout route while Clifton was touched for twenty blows, many of them triples and doubles. Sumter- started to work on Clifton in the first Inning scoring three runs , on five hits, Including triples by Reynolds and Farmer. Farmer, In addition to pitching a groat game of ball, also kicked In with two triples. MlmB was high man with three singles and a double off Clifton. Qulledge got a triple and a single and Reynolds a triple and a single. Sumter now meets the winner of the Rock Htll-Relzer series, which at this writing was all tied up. No matter which team wins the upper-state series, Sumter Is doped to win in the state title series.
