-~y j I Cruising Around with J|' j "Skipper" J ..There are a lot.of thing* wo mortals cannot understand. Wo wonder why such a fine character as iAwrotcb McPudden had to ho called. Why one who loved life so much, who was so kind and gentle, so thoughtful of others, m> sincere and honest, should ho taken fix>m us. * Hut tho strange God never makes explanation. He calls and wo respond. Perhaps on some other distant star, in norno heaven, the kindly spirit of Mack" Is carrying kindness and lovo on for eternity. * * We lilted "Mack". lOver courteous, over considerate, over kind, ho was a real fellow, . * * Hooking through the windshield several mornings laHt woek we could not help but feel that wo were In l'lttsburgh. Smoke from countless chimneys drlftod downward and shrouded tho streets in a mossy sooty blanket. Hope that some day folks will begin to use hard coal or oil and thereby eliminate Gamden from the Pittsburgh class. Hut then. It's January. Up north you listen to the squeak of overshoes on snow-packed sidewalks. You hear tho scrape-scrape of the snow shovels In the early morning hours. Little blonde girls are wearing mink coats over shorts. The wind sweeps through the streets like a limited non-stop hurrincane from Medicine Hat up Alaska way. Down here In Camden we gather around the ftre place or wander up to Ivee Little's flicker palace. Or perhaps sit in at a bingo event at the, Kirk wood. * The mail man delivered postcards from Florida showing niftydames sitting under palm trees. You saunter into a store to buy some mittens or ear muffs and the sales girl tries to tempt you with an blaster bonnet or a sun umbrella. Aw Heok! It's January and spring is just around the corner^ * * * I hope that corner Isn't as long as the one they talked about in 1930. Wo peered around scores of those kind of corners looking for prosperity. * * * The b^est news in many moons?&en will be down in March. Ain't that .swell? .... By the way, Jack Nettles really has something to crow about. Jack was up in Charlotte la?t week and In company with our old friend Jake Houston jaunted around with Jack Ddmpsey, the old mauler. * * And who should show up in Camden last week but good old IMck Porter, former player manager of the Syracuse Chiefs. Dick came down- for some hunting and will be h?re for a little while. * * The Charlotte Observer and News really went to town on giving Camden I>oio <*ome big play-up. Large pic of the polo teams in action. Hurke Davis, a roally smart sport writer, who* is on the News payroll tells us that'Russ Hodges, Columbia Broadcasting sportcaStor at Charlotte really went the limit on his story of the Camden-Pinehurst game down here Jaunary 12. Burke says Ru?s raved about the whole program, the players, the crowd, the picturesque setting, and the like. * * * "Hundreds of people who never saw I>olo but who hear Russ will be travel" ing to Camden Sundays in the future" said Burke. * ? This department has yelled for years ^bout the need of regulation arterial stop signs at the intersections along Lyttleton street. It. is true that signs have been painted on the pave- r ment but if our information is correct i and we believe it is, those signs do not stand up in a court of law. The Arterial designation must be In the form of a regulation sign, similar to those installed at 'the Intersecting joiners along Broad street. i? i t / In the past few woeka there have boon aoiue b:ul wrecks at Dyttloum street intersections two at Chesnut ajuI little ton in particular in which the cars were almost demolished and It was only by a miracle that the occupants escaped unhurt. * '*? ? ? Wo urge the city to take steps to Install the regular arterial atop signs Along Ly n let on street, especially it drill of iTie DoKalb intersection. 4 And in this connection may we sugSoet to the traffic officers that a few Arrests for spooding on Dyttleton, fair, Broad and Mill afreets would nave a salutory effect on some of the umo-bralns back of the steering wheels, Back seme years ago when the first Dempsey-Tunney fight was being ballyhoood. a guy named Jimmy Bronton, who had <iutte a rep as being a lopster predicted that tho tight would nark the entf of the fistic fame or Jack Dempsey. Tills department was iolng sports up in Wisconsin at tho lime and I can recall how wo ridiculed Iho suggestion that Dandy Jim could Jcfeat that rugged bundle jpf dynamite, the famous mauler. But it happened as Bronson said it would. * * ? Now Jimmy Is assorting that Billy Conn Is going to bo the nemesis of loo Ix)uis. Well, at the risk of being 'oolod again we are going on record is taking Issue wilh Bronson. altho we realize wo are a tlily tadpole In tho sport stream whereas Jimmy Is a hubmarine. But wo believe IxjuIs will ?ive Billy a beating. V ? Well' folks, last Saturday was quite a day for our good friend Chrysler 3togner. The eminent auto dealer Introduced the latest Chrysler creation, the Thunderbolt, to Camden and i-t was quite a party. Band music, sirens, police escort and a caravan of jars. Charley came over and said ho was looking for the man with the worst pan in Camden to ride with him? 3o 1 got up and 5olned the party. That Thunderbolt is a radical looking outfit?built on the same racing lines as the Thunderbolt of high speed fame. But it has a lot of gadgets tnat '?ally look good, and operate even better. At '$8,200, we do not expect to icquire one?at least?not right now. Getting around to polo?did you see the Sunday fracas between the Jack3ts and the Blues. M not you missed a rare treat. There may have been polo games here lit the past and there will be many in the future but for sheer thrHls ahd brilUaacs of play, tone have or wHiJsxe4P the exhibition >f Sunday. Sh&ts that would do credit to Internationalists were fired by Jie Camden talent. Bubba DuBose, japtain of the Blues executed an angle shot in the second that was the high spot in sharp shooting for the afterloon and lils tying shot in the last second of the( sixth chukker looked ike a drop kick by the best of pro ?ridders. The game was witnessed by an>ther big crowd, attesting tho fact hat Camden is definitely the focal joint for winter sports In the midsouth. * ? Team play was beautiful! to watch, with both teams playing brilliantly. A ;oal by Bates hi the third chukker resulted from a beautiful pass by Har-ison. Llghtfoot's touchdown spring he length of the field In the third was mother thriller. The goal by Harrison in the second saw some beautiful earn work on the part of Burns and Bates. Another stop In the polo parade is scheduled for next Sunday when Town ind Country meet in the first game of he Devine cup series. * ? * In speaking of the polo program, nay we suggest to the police departnent that when several hundred cars :ome down Broad street after the *ame, it would be a little bit on tho side of traffic efficiency if the policenan on duty at Broad and DeKalb vould go Intx) action, shut of the traffic lghts and lot the main traffic through.
