Cruising Around ; with 11 "Skipper" Willie Roddlah, Camden's contribution to tho heavyweight ranks In the boxing world dropped in to eay hello Saturday. Willie who will bo remembored around hero as a porter In a barber shop has 'become one of the outstanding runnore-up for the heavyweight crown now held 'by tho Detroit bomber, Joe lx>uia. Reddish waa on hla way to hia homo in Philadelphia after an appearance at Doraey park in Miami, where he kayood Bearcat Ray from Hastings, Florida. Rtxldtsh opened a cut over Ray's left eye in the first round and the Florida negro could not answer the bell in the fifth. . . * ? The Camden police force is to be commended for tho campaign that is being made against speeders, U-turn artists and the like. The police blotter last week lookod like who's who in ('amdum. Officers ? Mtfhoney, Nolan, Mayor ami Rush all contributed to the listing fI traffic violators. Nino car owners were fined $1 and $2 for park p.f overtime In the flve-mlnuto zone In front of the postofflce. Another motor-1 jst gavo.up $2 when Officer Mahoney saw him make a U-turn in the middle of the block and another male driver was fined for parking overtime in tho live-minute zone. Wonder what the harvest will bo when the next flro alarm cornea in. There are quite a number of lads around the bailiwick who are just like litis department used to be some years back, when we never missed a Are. In those days we had to either walk or pedal a bike. Today the boys4 drive cars and believe you me, they sure step on the gas. i Naughty, naughty sez tho big .policeman. The guy with the blue coat and buttons wtfi catch you if you don't watch out. * * While we are for the lease-land bill hook lino and sinker we wish the powers that be in Washington would place ;ts much emphasis on the strike situation in this country as they do in regard to the aid for Briton measure. ? As we have so frequently said, this is no time for strikes, especially when ihey tie up defense production. * * * I-oots to us as tho' labor is taking advantage of the war threat to go haywire. It's all right for the working men to demand just wages, but why has all this strike stuff have to crop ??ut at a time when the government Is faced with a crisis that may threaten its very existence. * ? Wo confess to having a sneaking admiration for the Georgia state senate for passing a bill to prohbiit labor unions from collecting from workers on defense piyjects in the cracker state. m > We doff our kelly to Senator H. B. Kdwards of Valdosta. Ga.. author of the measure when he said that labor leaders were recketeerlng and profiteering on tbe national defense program by charging workers excessive fees to obtain union memberships and i secure tho right to work. m m w ? When conditions like that arise, when the CIO pulls this strike stuff on iinix>rtant defense work, well, we won dor what ails the gouts in Washington who have been yelling about patriotlain. * Wotlnel do they call the strike rackets? To us the whole mesa smells of fifth ooluinu raukness. ? ? * The Camden cage lassises trounced the University High gals last wtx>k 46 to 29 but the boys k>at $2 tq-JK, Peggy and Nell lead tho Camden maids with 20 points each. The lloraoshoe cagers went out of the Winnsboro semi-pro tournament in Jigtltne, taking a bad licking from a Fort Jackson team. f The new brick wall in front of the bleachers at tho Camden ball park has been completed and when the now dugouts are biTUt the area will be ready for tho H&rrisburg pastimers who will take over M&rdh 26. * * Well, met an old friend from Marquette. Mich., Tuesday In Columbia. None other titan Ous Sounenberg, former world champion wrestler and Dartmouth college ail-American football tackle. "Sonnenberg's home is In I Marquette and when this writer hold forth up in that part of the frozen north, wo mot Qua very often. * Ous wpn tho world title from Ed (Str'Ailglor) LewMs and was the first wrestler to use a flying tackle in tho ring. . , The 118th Infantry baskotball team won the Winnsboro Central Carolina cage meet by whaling* tho daylights out of tho Monarch cagers from Union, the scare being 48 in 28 * * E. T. Start, veteran photographer, who has boon coming to Camden for some forty or morq years told us Sunday that, ho had seen i>olo games hero for 39 years, but never saw stich a mob as was on hand for the CamdenEssex Troop gam? Sunday. Chief of Police Alva Rush said It was the biggest crowd his traffic department has had to handle in years. * * * As a matter of fact, it wae the largest crowd that ever gathered for a polo game in the eouth. Hundreds of Essex Troop members were present to root for the soldier foursome. * ? The retqrn game next Sunday, to be played before a group of high ranking officers from Fort Jackson will attract an even greater crowd. Joe Dates was quite the hero of the afternoon. Joe was a "dead-eye Dick" ut shooting the free goals, getting three during the game. And Joe executed a number of sensational saves as well. Major MoGrath. No. 1 for the visitors. had. in our estimation, the best ponies on the field. They were unusually speedy. * Next Sunday the Troop team will have Cyril Harrison as No. 3 man and the Cainden team will have a tough assignment to win. Burns and DuBose are sure to play for the local foursome and the other two players will be chosen from a list featuring Tupper, Boykin, Light foot and RobertRon. Between the first and second halves, or to be more specific, between the third and fourth chukkers, the army took over the field, hundreds of soldiers responding to the request to trample down the divots. Tho crowd at the game was one of the most colorful in the history of the sport in the south, inasmuch as it featured so many officers and soldiers from Fort Jackson. And how those khaki clad warriors whooped it up for dear old Essex. ?*' , We interrupt our polo dessertation to say a .word about, the Virginians' horse show of Saturday, which despite a high wind and below freezing brand of weather, was just about, the classiest wo havo seen in the five years we I have been "covering" these events. * * We really feel that all those responsible should be congratulated and especially J. North Fletcher and Wll* helmine Kirby. who were the cal spark plugs of the affair. ? * Reflections of the week-end Toting a Dixie Dens camera man to the horse show Saturday moring.
