Jim Clyburn Comet
Back To Old Haunts
(Continued from first pate) /When
March 28 rolls around this
year and the Carolina cup races are
held, there Is every reason to believe
there will bo a Clyburn horse In three
of the Jump events and also In the
flat race. For if the training of the
four horses Jim has with him progresses
satisfactorily, he'll have a
horse in four of the events on the
Carolina cup card.
Jim has his string at the Sprlngdale
track for daily workouts but the bang
tails are quartered in the I'ed stable
at the polo field along with the string
of polo ponies owned by Coach Cyril
Harrison of the polo club.
Fans attending the Palinettoe-E3sex
troop game next Sunday will see Jim
on the field again as an official for
he haB been nominated to work with
Cyril Harrison In the officiating duties
for the afternoon match.
And now for Ebeneezer?.J^ast Sunday
Clyburn was astride a polo pony
that has quite a history. The pony
Is Ebeneezar, a western horse, born
in Montana, on what is known as the
Circle V ranch. Ebeneezar belonged
to Watson Pomeroy for many years
and two years ago was purchased by
Charlie DuBose, the No. 2 player on
the Palmetto team. Charlie las
used Ebeneezar in all of the games
of the 1910-1941 season and in the 18
games played so far this season.
I
Ebeneezar, believe It or not, is 19
years old and is stil,) able to travel
with the best of them when on the
' polo field. Back in his early horsehood.
which may be likened to the
childhood of (he human race, Ebeneezar
did some timber racing.. That
waa many years before the Carolina
cup classic came into tjie picture.
Truly Ebeneezar 1b a greatf horse?not
only as a polo ace. but he can go on
' a hunt, or will even don a harness if
.the occasion requires and drag around
I a cart. And Ebeneezar pricks up his
ears and gets ambitious ideas when
he hears about steeplechasers and the
like.
So next Sunday the polo fans will
be watching for "Kentucky Jim" and
his good steed, Ebeneezar.

Clocks Moved Up;
On War Time Now
Camden and the entire nation went
on war time at 2 o'clock Monday
morning. Very few people sat on the
official debut of the war time schedule,
practically everybody moving
their clocks ahead on retiring Sunday

The war time schedule found Camden
getting up In Inky darkness and
eating breakfast under electric lights.
As the days lengthen this situation
will Improve and by May there will
be little discomfort experienced.
Camden stores are conforming to
the war time program as most of

the matter declared that any change

Polo Is Expensive
Game Says Writer
(By The Skipper)
^How much does It coat to operate
a sport of polo In Oamdou during ft
aeuaou? That la a queatlon frequently
aaked of tho writer uot only at tho
polo games but also In groupa .whore
the aport la dlacuaaed.
Wo have, during the six aoaaona
that we have handled the publicity
for the polo club, had very definite
understanding that the sport was expensive.-.
Checking up with the finance
unit of the polo club, we learned
that the approximate cost of operating
the polo program each season
totaled $3,000. This ... amOput,
however, does not task** in tho expense
to the individual players In the
maintenance of their ponies, purchase
of mallets, and other equipment.
These individual expense items run
up into fancy figures,
Breaking down the $3,000, we
learned that the expense of using , the
No. 1 field every year aggregates
$600. The salary of the polo coach
and other expenses connected therewith
aggregates $280 a month, which
for a seven-month period would total
$1,960.
It will be a source of genuine surprise
to the fans that the expense of
the willow balls used in the game totals
some $200 for the season. The
rolling of the playing field, which
must be done after every game, costs
$16 a month. Seed and fertilizer expense
totals $200 a season. Field
cutting runs to $25 for the season.
The billing of sign#, a pair of score
boards and other lqmber repair requirements
totals $i00 .for the season.
The printing bill, which includes
preparation of posters, circulars, and
the like, aggregates about $60, while
hardware and painting will exceed
$60. The dry cleaning of the polo
shirts runs to $5 a month.
In addition to all these items, there
is the item of mowing the fields, moving
the sideboards, the raking of the
hay at the beginning of the season,
which totals over $70.
The writer, in preparation of this
article, has been mindful of an impression
on the part of the fans that,
owing to the large crowds which
gather weekly to watch the polo
teams in action, the gate receipts
must total a neat sum. At the ridiculously
low admission fee of 25 cents
that is levied for the games, it is
readHy apparent that the total take
at the gate does not aggregate any.
great sum. The gate receipts are divided
between the polo club and the
American Legio, the latter organization
using its share for Legion charitable
objectives.
Camden today enjoys the distinction
of being the outstanding polo
community in the nation. The Camden
Polo Club is made up of gentlemen
who give of their time and money
toward the build-up of this fine
sport. They do take care of the expense
of maintaining their own ponies
and equipment. They are making a
great sacrifice to carry on the sport
program in Camden. The Camden
Polo Club deserves tho support of
every sport-loving fan in the rnidsouth.
