Sport Potpourri
BY THE SKIPPER
Who is the golfer who broke his
own record with an 85 out at the
jKlrkwood course the other duy? Look
for the man with the happy smile.
That's the Chap.
* *
Bob Lotshaw, Toronto first sacker,
blew into the bailiwick the other day
and is spending the two weeks before
.the arrival of the Toronto squad in
golfing, watch the polo ponies, wandering
about the uohntrysldo and in
general getting acQu&ultod with Camden
and her people. ^
?
Bob is a grand chap and if all the
rest of the Toronto lads are like hint,
we're going to be mighty pleased with
the Canadian gang.
I have a hunch I should be a member
of the A*. S. P. C. A., for I dislike
to see dumb animals in pain. The polo
game Sunday lost flavor to me, despite
the fact that it was a whale,
of a contest abounding in soilsational
riding and shooting. Out of the death
of Whit Boykin's polo pony was a
real shock.
So far as the members of the polo
club are able to say, the pony broke
its left rear leg while pivoting. A
majority of the spectators did not
sense what had happened and some
of them laughed when the pony settled
<Jown on his haunches, like one
sees a trick horse do at a circus.
But "Vhen the poor critter struggled
up tfhd tried to stand erect, and the
crowd saw the dangling limb, a gasp
of dismay was heard.
Of course those things happen In
polo, steeplechasing and the like?but
that doesn't mean we get any pleasure
out of seeing them.
*
Speaking of the polo game?it was
a honey with Harrison and his Ramblers
went to town at the expense
of Charley DuBose and his Palmetto
marksmen.
* ' *
Harrison and DuBose tied for scoring
honors and both played bang-up
polo. They each chalked up three
goals.
* *
Coach Harrison was making an effort
this week to get the Fort Bragg
foursome down here for next Sunday
and will send the Rambler riders
against the boys from up Fayetteville
way. It should be a great battle.
The Camden high cagors split a
double bill with Chester at Chester
last Friday night, the boys winning
their game and the lassies taking the
short end of their game score.
Incidentally It might be' mentioned
that the game was played on a stage,
with one boundary a brick wall and
the other an?opjx* space from which
an unwary pltfyer who got too near
the side of the court would tumble.
It wouldn't be a bad idea If a demand
was made upon the Chester school
group to provide a better playing
area or else ....
i
Sitting by the radio last Saturday
night . we enjoyed several hours of
good sport action over the air waves.
For instance, we heard the big track
and field indoor meet In New York;
then the southern conference meet in
Chapel Hill,, the Carolina State vs.
South Carolina baseketball game,
then back to Chapel Hill and ending
up with a play-by-play story ot the
title fcamo at L?ouisville between Kentucky
and Alabama. Kentucky won
by a narrow margin and what a game
?what a game! Tied exactly thirteen
times during the playing period.
f i i
Publisher Niles, of The Chronicle,
generously explains several typographical
errors which cropped out in
the excitement of the eleventh hour
before press time last week. For instance,
in the story of the Carolina
cup race and the changing of the Imperial
cup date from March 21 to
April 4, the latter date was given as
April 14. And in tfye box announcement
of the defense meeting at the
main control post Friday night the
hour was given as 9 p. m. instead of
8 o'clock.
i i.
We might say that after 30 years
or more in newspaper work we know
just how hard it is to make corrections
in the last hour before press
time. You have perhaps noted that
Columbia and Charlotte papers?in
fact?all papers, meet the same situation.
The moral of it all is: get your
news in early.

Ramblers Victors;
Pony Breaks Leg
The Camden Ramblers <ftfeated thy
Palmetto* 7 6 in a hard fought polo
gamo here Sunday afternoon which
wua tied three times.
Stark drama walked the turf of
the number one polo held in Camden
and for the first time since 1917, when
It wua again uecesaaiy to shoot a polo
pony because of a broken leg.
The accident occurred in the fourth
chukkcr, when after a scrimmage r.tar
tho north aide boards, the pony ridden
by Whit Hoyktn, number 2 player
for the Ramblers, was seen to rink
Klowty until it was In a sitting position.
As the plucky animal tried to regain
Us feet it wus seen that the left
rear leg was broken. Grooms from tho
stables removed the pony from the
held and it was put to death by u
police officer.
Iloykln mounted another pony and
play was resumed; in the fifth chukker
he was responsible for a Humbler
goal.
Starting out with both sides offering
a stoul defense, the Ramblers
drew first blood In tho opening chuk->
ker when Harrison scored. Conditions
wore reversed in the second period
with the Palmettos scoring as the
Ramblers were blanked. DuHoso shot
the counter. 4
In the third the Ramblers staged
a two goal scoring spree with Harrison
getting his second goal and
Hums his hrst. The fourth found the
Palmettos adding two on scores by
Robertson and Lightfoot, -while the
Ramblers annexed a counter wnen
Hums rang up his second.
The Ramblers Jumped to the front
in the fifth to lead 6 to 4 on goals
by Boykin 'and Harrison, it being
Harrison's third- In the sixth each
team scored, DuBose for the Palmettos
and Hates for the Ramblers.
Harrison's race down the entire
length of the field in the fifth as he
crashed the score posts for a third
counter was the feature of tho game.
Plans are being made to bring Fort
Bragg here for next Sunday's game
against tiie Ramblers.
Tree Planting Season Growing Short
Very little time remains for farmers
who wish to plant trees thts winter.
It will be necessary for any farmer
to get Ills order in Immediately
to his county agent, county ranger,
or the district forester in Camden,
S. C., to obtain his trees in time to
be planted. We still have sdme loblolly,
slash, and longleaf pines available,
as well as a few black locust.
Since December 1, 1941, 606,000
trees have been planted in Kershaw
county. Many persons have taken advantage
of the AAA Conservation
payments for the planting of trees.
W. C. Hammerle, state forester,
says, "If weather conditions permit,
the planting of trees can be carried
on as late as March 16."
Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis '
Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your oough, chest cold, or acute bronchitis
Is not treated and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any medicine
less potent than Creomulslon which
goes right to the seat of the trouble to
help loosen and expel germ laden
phlegm and aid nature to soothe and
heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial
mucous membranes.
Creomulslon blends beech wood creosote
by special process with other time
tested medldnes for coughs. It contains
nonareotlcs.
No matter bow many medicines you
have tried, tell your druggist to sell you
a bottle of Creomulslon with the understanding
you must like the way It quick-'

COLUMBIA PASTOR SPEAKS
ON HISTORY OF ROTARY
At the weekly meeting of Rotary
last Tuesday the club wa^ honored
with the following guests; Rotary
Auue, Mr*. Ernest lions, Mr*. Vlr-1
ginia Turnage, of Hartsville, Dr. Maurice
Clarke and ,Clvitian J. L. Reld.
Jr., of Columbia. Visiting Rotarlans
were Roscoe Stevens, of Columbia,
and Earl Innian, of Florence.
Clifton McKain had charge of the
program and his guest speaker was
Rev. Lewis G. Taylor, rector of the
Church of Good Shepherd in Shandon
and a member of the Columbia Rotary
Club. The speaker said he
deemed It both a distinct privilege
and pleasure to speak on this, the
37th anniversary of the founding of
Rotary, an idea conceived by Paul
Harris, a lawyer In Chicago on the
28th of February, 1905, when he invited
three friends of different vocations
to come to his home and on that
night Rotary was born with members
of four classifications?a mining engineer,
a doctor, a merchant and a
lawyer. Thus was Rotary started
with the Idea of rotating weekly at
each others homes. And in 1907 the
second club was organized In San
Francisco, and then In Boston. In
1910 there were sixteen club* whose
representative* met in Chicago for
the first Rotary convention and
shortly after that, club* were organized
in Canada, England and Ireland.
Rotary International of which all Rotary
clubs are members had, Just before
the rise of the dictators. 4,714
clubs, with a present membership of
two hundred and twelve thousand In
fifty countries of Ihe world, there being
3,150 clubs In the United States;
147 clubs In Canada and New Foundland;
465 clubs In Britain and Ireland,
and 1,000 other clubs scattered
all over the face of the globe until
Hitler thought .them too good to exist
in Germany, and so also thought i
Ills buddy in Italy. Only recently a
club was organized In Iceland and
another in England. And what doe*1)
Rotary mean? It moans putting Into
practice the golden rule. If any one
of you would be chief, let him be
the servant of all for he profit* most
who serve* best and because of the
foundation of this club, It has gripped
the Imagination of men all over the
world. Rotary is the antipathy of
selfishness because Its members are
inspired to the ideal of service above
self, as well as he profits most who
serves best.
The minister dwelt upon the Rotary
code of ethics, emphasizing fellowship,
mutual cooperation, International
goodwill and high ethical
standards In business and professions
and each Rotarian was urged to take
his own classification seriously and
some day we will live in International
goodwill throughout the world?a
consummation devoutly to be wished
for Rotary believes that goodwill can
be carried on to the nth degree, and
Rotary Jias the Innate belief in building
a better world than we have today.
In closing Mr. Taylor compared
Rotarlans to the highly-trained Arabian
horse?both ready at all times
to answer for duty at the call of
bugle or the president's gong.

HAIGLAR ? Monday and Tuesday
Exciting romance between Don Ameche and Joan Bennett
highlighta the thrilling action in the new 20th Century-Fox drama,
"Confirm or Deny", which la stated to open Monday and Tuesday
at the ^alglar Theatre. ^
"Confirm or Deny"
Is Dramatic Film
Since September, 1940, the world,
hat* been asking: Did the Nh?.Ib attempt
an all-out Invasion of England ?
Twentieth* X'entury-Kox has fashioned
an answer in "Confirm or Deny,"
which opens at the Haiglar Theatre
Monday night, and It Is an outstanding
entertnlnmont.
It 1b the story of a Yank ace correspondent
who gave his blood, sweat
and tears to get the biggest story of
his career?only to scrap It for a love
that was bigger.
Don Ameche as "Yank" Mitchell,
the news-hawk, who had the siory
that could betray an empire, contributes
the finest dramatic rolo of his
long career. His is an unforgettable
performance and a glowing tribute
to those unsung heroes of "front line"
news.
Joan Bennett as "Red" Carson, the
gallant fighting English girl, provides
the romantic interest that is intensified
by the thrilling action of the
story. Her Interpretation is magnificently
restrained and she gives a
convincing portrayal of a girl who
finds love amidst death and destruction.
A supporting cast {leaded by Roddy
McDowall and including John Loder,
Raymond Walburn* Arthur Shields
and Eric Blore contribute i\s share
to this moving drama of simple men
and women fighting for their Jives,
homes' and freedom.
Written by Henry Wales and Sam- ?
uel Fuller, "Confirm or Deny". fM
produced by Len Hammond. Archlo
Mayo's direction keeps the action
tense and the performance at high
pitch.
