Harrisburg Manager
Sure Likes Camden
"That the Harrisburg Senators hav?|
selected an ideal training base In Cam |
den, S. C., was indicated by the en-,
thuslasm expressed by Jack Warden]
upon his recent return from the'
Southern town. From the manner In]
wrhlch the Senator president expressed
himself, tiie set-up Is well-night per-j
feet
"We'll stay at the Hotel Camden,"|
said Jack, "where we'll have fine ac
commodations and our own training
table, something wo didn't have at
Greenville last year. The hotel, by
the way, is only three blocks from the
ball park. And as for tho field, it's
one of the best I've seen down that
way. It has tho only grass infield I've
sepn in that section and that's partlcu
Jarly important to us.
v "A football field adjoins tho baseball
field, and they're going to put five or
six slabs there, so our pitchers can
work out without any constant interruption.
"Tho measurements of the field
nearly correspond with those at Island
Park. The distance to left field in
Camden is 335 feet; to center field,
400, and to right. 325. At Island Park
It is 335 to leTt, 300 to center, and 310
to right.
"They have promised to put a
twenty-eight-passenger bus, modern
and up-to-date, at our disposal. They
will also provide the driver.
"I have arranged to have the American
legion Post Leroy Belk, No. 17,
of Camden, sponsor several of our ex
hibition games. Part of the receipts
will go to War Relief activities.
"We will have an excellent trainer.
I have engaged the trainer at the
University of South Carolina for the
training season. I believe his namo is
Johnson."
Jack continued to ramble on, and in
summing things up, said it's a much
better place than Greenville, S. C., tho
local olub'e training site last year.?

team In the local gymnasium by a 3d
to 15 score. The team entered the .

against this same team. 1
While tho Newberry eager* started
the game under evident instructions to

to naught as the star artist of the *

made by the Jackets and only took
part in half of the game. Added to the
8D potfHM scored in a previous game
against the satno toam and 20 against
Brook land-Cay ee in Columbia, it was

only this season, but in the three
pervious seasons. '
The Camden toam used its regulars

In the second quarter the reserves,
took over and at the three quarter,

regular* went back into the game in,
the Anal quarter and tho scoring
parade was on again while the Cam-i
den guards checked tho offensive ofj
tho visitors almost completely. |
The Camden boys played a brilliant,
game to trample on the Newberryi
quintet 25 to 7. The boys put up one,
of the finest brands of pastlming they:
have shown this season, not only on,
the offensive but also on the defense.

to soore% the low count of 7 being
somewhat of a reoord in this state, if

Camden Boasts
Pasteurizing Plant |
One of the finest, if not the finest j
and most modern pasteurizing plants
in South Carolina is under construction
iHjthe Wolfe building on Broad
street'Ki this city.
The Wolfe building has been almost |
entirely torn down, only the roof be-;
ing utilized in the new construction ,
program. Tho plant is being con- ,
structed by Ixmis I Guion and will be (
in charge of Hugh McCullum. It will be
j known as the "Camden Dairy.
I Over $10,000 is being expended in |
'equipment for tho plant and this will
be sufficient to take care of tho anti- j
cipated vvpansion of the business. The
'initial Reduction will be about 100
gallons of milk an hour, but this is
[expected to be increased within ai
! short time as the demand for the pasteurized
product mounts,
i In a majority of the states of (ho.
! nation all milk that is retailed must be
pasteurized, as the process effectually
kills any bacteria or germs which
raav bo in the raw product.
Mr. Guion has the contract to pro- ,
vide milk at the flying school here
! and one of the government require-,
ments calls for the pasteurizing of all
milk used in schools or military camps. ,
! Tho new plant has been provided
' with a solid cement floor from front j
to rear and the walls are finished in
a cement that permits of their being ;
i washed through the medium of a hot!
spray. The very latest in sanitary ,
i features will bo in evidenco at the j
j Guion plant. ;
Should the expansion of the plant
meet with the expectations of tho o\v*i- i
! Pr. other lines of dairy products such
as butler, cream, ice cream, cheese >
and the like will be added.
Tho building of this modern pas- ,
j teurizing plant is another forward .
step for this city. |
The plant will be in operation with- ,
ih the next ten days. The public will
bo invited to watch the pasteurization
operations.

by the Woman's Auxiliary of Grace
is copal church, ...
Not only will there be an exhibit of
antiques that would delight the eye

the fact that it will offer an opportunity
for interested people to visit historic

an outstanding appeal.

last century and is one of the many
historic shrines abounding in the Camden
area. The building is rich in historic
atmosphere having been built
about 1820 by James ' Chesnut.
Descendants of the Chesnut family
have occupied it since. During the

destroy it by Are when Union troops
Invaded the community. Loyal slaves
however, are said to have fought the
flames and saved the mansion.
The exhibit of antiques will feature
many priceless items. The price of
the exhibit and tea will be but one

The affair Is expected to attract a
crowd, with some people coming
from Columbia tod surrounding Okies.
