I 1 r Cruising Around :; , with t? f | 1 "Skipper" j! Follow up. In my homo town in Wist m.sia write* me that he thinks It would bo u swell idea if President 1 looseveIt would take every striker uud put him in the army. .Now ain't ,lml something. We agree exactly <me hundred per cent and then some. * . What In rfam HiU is happening to iho good old United States wheu, in a crisis like this, a lot of radicals and a,numiulstlcally inclined foolB go on hirlkes in plants having defense contracts. The government yelps for speed and moixi speed and yet they lot the C. I. O. stage these strikes and defense activities to slow motion stuff Yes. our friend up in Wisconsin has tho right idea. Take ?very striker put him in ike army. A bit of discipline under some hard-boiled top sergeant would take a lot of the radlclistn out of these birds.. * Fellow baseball fans?moot Ixjs Eell. manager of the Harrlsburg club of the Interstate league now in training lu., o. 1 remember Bell when ho was a member of the Milwaukee AA league club back In 1924. Los had been signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1923. and the next year he was optioned to Milwaukee, then being managed by Harry Clark. Bell led the American league in batting that year and Milwaukee won the pennant. The next year Bell returned to St. Louis and was with the Cardinals through i;?2S. He played third base and was ,,ue of the fixtures that enabled the Cards to defeat the Yanks tpr the world title in 1926. ? U>s went to the Boston Brav?3 In 1U2S and remained through 1929 and lien went to the Chicago Cubs playing third for tno Wrigley^ang in 1930 and '31. The big fellow isn't as spry as he | was when I saw him cavorting in the | Milwaukee iufleld back in 1924, but I'll bet there Isn't another chap in j Camden who is as alert and fast as he is right now, despite the years that have descended on his dome. ? Fans, watch that lad Tommy Tomaso, one of Bell's ace hurlers. l>ast year Danny, Just out of high school, pitched for Harrieburg in an exhibition tilt with the Phlllibs and set the major league stars on their ? ears. - I And this old veteran "Ditch" jgchessler was with the Phllllftfl back in 1981. * * Well the Camden horse show of 1941 Is history and we want to record that it was the best ever offered by ihe Camden Hunt club. And congra; illations to J. North Fletcher and his ig bay gelding Troop. Troop has l?M)n the sensation of the Camden . iiiestxian world this season. * Sitting across the table fix>m Franklin I) ltoosevelt, Jr., in the grill of The Kirk wood last Saturday wo had m .-hence 4o really visit with this due -mlwart son of the president. And ike it from one who knows, he is a groat big fine lad. And when i:i"titioned my old newspaper buddy, 'harlie Broughton. national Demo? ratic. committee leader up In Wis' .iisin. Franklin, Jr., was all smiles. ! he too knew Charlie well. ? "Lid you hear that crack I ?U>ok at Wilklo?" said F. D. Jr. "Yep," sez . Well seriously. Wilkie is a fine fellow and is doing a grand piece of work." . Franklin, Jr., autographed about a .7.7 rid red cards whils ths , Kirk wood and later at the race track ::?* put his John Henry on many more. That dinner given by Mayor Mct'orkle was a regular affair from - ?ups to shortcake. And best of it all, ?chatter or speech-making was reduced to a minimum, consisting of <ix>ut f,0 words of welcome expressed hv the mayor, And a few words about the cup r,n_ti?for if we tried to tell all our impressions of this classic, it would ike a page. It was without doubt Lie best Carolina cup event in the 12 years (his groat chaser program has boon presented to the public. The weather man got up in a grouchy mood with rain and wind, but later in the morning he replaced the rain with sunshine and the day waa ideal, altho a bit breeiy. * And the crowd, what u crowd, greatest on record in the cup history. There U no doubt but that had Old Sol pooped over tho horizon about ti boils with a grin on his face It would have meant a few thousand more, but as it waa. the gate waa close to 16,000, Metropolitan writers and also writers from the nrtd-eouth papers, radio broadcasters and movio camera opurativoa gave estimates ranging from 15,000 to IS,000. -?? - ?* * a?.? A mid western flyer, who was over the race course during the afternoon said he had not soon so many cars parked in ono area since he flew over tho Century of Progress exposition In Chicago. # 1 V Congratulations to Harry 1). Kirkover for a grand show.- You deserved a break In weather and wo hand a nice -pat to the weatherman fo^- getting over his sulklness and giving you that break. We are happy with you. ?P 9 * Speaking of baseball, tljat laddie Scott who came out of tho eighth grade and totaling but 13 years of age, has promise of being a faotor in high school sport for some years. The kid bus a world of stuff and a lot of con-1 fldonce and nerve. And in Bruce the team has a nice hitter. - Stepping into theHBuropean war picture we get a laugh out of Wrong Way Mussolini when he says that Uncle Sam does not know where he is bonding. Guess lie must be thinking pf a day last summer when he did some bad guessing himself. 9 9 9 9 Well friends, even tho best of them blunder. We note in one of the big dailies, in an article by a special wri| ter assigned to the Camden program of last Saturday that Franklin D. Jr. j la described as wearing a smart sport outfit while his wife, the former Kthel ' duPont wore a corsage of white carnations. Which adds up to a head-1 i ache for the editor for the reason that F. D. Jr. wore a business suit and bis wife was conepicious by ber absence. I * ? ? 1 The No. 1 polo field fairly bulged with humanity Sunday afternoon. Thousands came from near and far to witness the polo classic between Mulberry and the Essex Troop foursome. Tho Troop won but it was due to tho sensational play of Cyril Harrison, l Camden polo club coach, who was I guest player with the visitors that gave them the victory. So it will be tho Troop against the Princeton Uni| versity Reserve officers team next Sunday. I * * j Scoring Sunday were Harrison 6, I Robertson 2, Lightfoot 2, Williams 1, ! Tupper 1, Brown 1 and MeGrath 1. 9 9 0 9 | When Chris Wood was called away from the loudspeaker mike just as the game started, M. B. Burns took over a miseraible two chukkers trying to get the system to work properly. It was finally discovered that one of the wires was shorted and only holding it a certain way would the system operate. In the third period Jim Young and Bob Bingham, who had come over from Radio station WIS to watch the game agreed to carry on. Bob did the observing and Jinf the broadcasting?and what a nice job It wfts. * ? Tho Essex troop band of 28 pieces occupied seats irt th?-grfmd?tamt ami played between chukkers, much to the deight of the crowd. The band Is well-trained and can put out the music in an Interesting manner. It is hoped to have the band back agaiu Sunday when the Troop plays Princeton. * A group of six >x>ung ladies, picked from the Carolines and now acting as ' traveling counsellors for the Carolina i Motor Club are to be guests of the | polo club Sunday and will attend the i tea dance at the Kirk wood after tho game. * * * * j Getting back to the Carolina cup ; races. May we suggest to the powers that be that another year badges be given to operating newspaper writers I to admit them to the press stand, and arrange to keep others and their friends off the platform. We felt a lot. of chagrin to observe the handicap that the New York paper special writers. the Associated Press and United Press writers and the other sporting writers had to labor under with a shouting group of lame brains taking advantage of presB badges to jam the stand and get in the way of these who wanted to watch the raee for coverage purposes. I I 1 Outstanding sport writers present were Murray Tynan, of the New York Herald-Tribune; Bryan Field of the Times; Alderman Duncan, of the Associated Press; Harry Hampton, of the State; Jake Wade, of the Charlotte Observer; Harper Gault of the Rock HIU Herald; Abe Fennell, of the State; Ben Heath, writing for the United Press; Burke Davis, of the Charlotte News; Scoop La timer, of the Greenville News; A. S. Hampton from Spartanburg; H. D. Osteen of Sumter Item, were among other sport writers taking in the show. The Fox Movietone News "had a special news roel operator on the job. 13 Year Old Hinder Oefeats Bishopville Bobby Scott, q 13 year old boy, atudent in the eight grade, pitched the Camden High school ball team to a 5 to 4 eleven inning victory over the Bishopville highs at Bishopville laat Friday. Scott, who looks like a comer as a hurler gave up but sevon hits. Cecil Bruce, another new face on tho high team and who holda forth in tho right held area, divided honors with Scott by piling two doubles and a triple during the pastime. It was liruce's double in 4he eleventh that scored Illlly Mullen with the winning run. * Mullen had poi vtously singled, stole second and raced homo when Bruce uncorked his two-base blow. Camden gathered ten hits, Bruce getting 3, Mullen 2 anxl J. W. Parker, Sowoll. Smith, Cox and Scott one each. Camden made but two errdrs. Tho Camden lads dropped a 11 to 10 decision to a HHlorest team hore earlier In the week. It was the first time tho team had played as a unit and tho boys wore nervous and jittery, chalking up 12 errors. In the Bishopville game the players found themselves and played fine hall. The lineup 1 for Camden in the. Bishopville game was as follows: J. W. Parker, catcher; L. Smith, first base; E. Packer, hocoiui base; E. Taylor, short$op; Billy Sowoll, third base, Carey Cox, left field; B. Mullen, center field, and Bruce, right field. Camden scored in the first, two In the third, one In the sixth and one In the eleventh Innings. Bishopville scored two in the first, one in the fourth and one In the seventh.
