Sport Potpourri
BY THE SKIPPER
A Toronto sport writer who sat
next to me at the ball game last
Thursday afternoon really waxed enthusiastic
over the manner in which
hlizoner Francis NL McCorkle hurled
Iho apple over the pan to open the
hall game between the Maple Leafs
and the South Carolina varsity pastimers.
"Yeah Hoy" he said?or did hebeing
a Canadian i doubt It? Hut he
meant Just that and continued, "I've
seen acorca of mayor* to** bail* in
at bull guinea but tbl* 1* the first time
thut one put It over with accuracy
and speed. Must bo a former town
star eh! what?"
There was a nice crowd out to
watch the game, despite lowering
clouds which threatened to spill water
every minute. In fact, about the
aixih Inning there was evidence of
J up Pluv'a effort to dampen the prograin,
but the boys kept right on playing.
* *
The high school baud was on the
job and scored a hit with tlie crowd.
' *
Don Morrison, as master of ceremonies
was as active as a dog with
fleas. Don supervised the raising of
the American and Canadian flags on
the center Held pole, while all of the
ball players stood in groups nearby.
The band played the national anthem.
Ted Petosky, coach of tho Gamejocks
team got a big hand when he
went in to bat for one of his hopefuls
In the ninth Inning. And the applause
was loud and long when he scratched
i nice single between first and second.
* * *
Brandt and Shuman, who did the
pitching for the Leafs were given a
treat welcome by the fans. Both of
these lads were with Harrlsburg last
year and went to Pittsburgh after the
jeason. Brandt was responsible for
he Harrlsburg team winning the
pennant In the Interstate loop. Shuman
also contributed In a great measure
to the pennant success.

The fans had their eyes on Burgess
Whitehead, the famous New York
31ant star who Is holding down the
lecond sack for the Leafs. He plays

FOOD ESSENTIAL AS ARMAMENT
Farmers, visualizing a oontlnued life of liberty and freedom, realize
their vital importance In producing food and fiber for the armed

THE CUP AFTERMATH !
?
We don't blame some of the fans
for getting sort of peeved when a
city newspaper came out with- the
statement "the eyeB of horse-face
fans" Instead of "horse-race fans".
We promptly checked with ot^r office
record and found that our copy had
read "horse-race fans". So you'll have
to take your ire out on the linotype
operator of the Columbia paper.
Well, the unparalled success of the
1942 running of the Carolina cup offsets
by a big margin any trivial errors
like the aforementioned. i
,
It was a perfect day, a perfect race
and> a perfect setting. While we do
not believe the crowd was as large
as a year ago, such was expected.
Not only the rubber situation but
heavy rains north of Camden caused
thousands of people who usually attend
the races to stay home.
At 11:45 a. m. Saturday morning
the C]amden Public Relations office
was called a score of times by people
wanting to know what kind of weather
was in evidence here. We told
them "warm and bright sunshine"
They said it was raining hard In
North Carolina.
?
It was a colorful crowd,the ladles
being out in their new Easter finery,
and spring wear, and did they look
swell? The news hounds from all over
the mid-south came to the show and
we got a sore arm from shaking
hands with the boys of the typewriter
and pencil.
i e *
The program was beautifully handled.
The city, county and state police
did a magnificent job in every respect
and our hats are off to them. At the
race course the same precision
of effort was in evidence. No confusion
or difficulty whatsoever.
The
races were well worth seeing.
Outside of the unfortunate affair in
Eb? eecond race when one ol the entries
fell and suffered a broken neck,
u6rc were few spills.
? m ' .
The radio broadcast was one of
he best we have ever had. With Sig
Imith handling the color and backround
s ?u ff, a nd Chris Wood. Jr.,
he action story, Camden's "day of
ays" was .heard over the entire
Jnlted States land Canada. We hope
0 hear reports on the reception from
nany parts-of the country within the
ext few day#; ??r
The Mayor's luncheon at the Kirkrood
was well timed and went off
rithout any delay or confusion. Many
f our hosM folks met Governor and
'4. W'Sfc.'V
Mrs. Jefferies for the first time und
were charmed by them. Senator and
Mrs. Maybank, always great favorites
here, were also present, and our vory
good friend Congressman J. P. Richards
was present to add his dignity
and charm, denial Bob Kennedy, Jr.,
with Mr. Cooper of the Santee-Cooper
project, were present and were greeted
with enthusiasm. r" ' '
* ? ? * v..
Mayor and Mrs. McCorkle, together
with councilman and Mtb. Joe McKaln,
Wylie Sheorn, Jack Nettles and
other members of the council group,
even to smiling Don Morrison were
present with their better halfs.

Orchids to the Kirkwood for putting
on a luncheon that was not only
the perfect accomplishment of a fine
chef, but was quickly and well served
by the dining room staff.

In as much as the ^Carolina Cup
races are always staffed by the metropolitan
dallies and the news syndicates
such as the Associated Press,
United Press and International Newa
Service, the Skipper had. a pleasant
afternoon in meeting the boys and
acting as a sort of information please
bureau. We take our hat off to the
Charlotte Observer writer who was
the only one of the typewriter wreckers
to mention the fact* that the rider
up on Rustic Romance was a Camden
man. ttone other than that fine
rider and trainer, Jim Clyburn. And
what a raco Jim rode.
Received a letter Monday from a
relative up in Milwaukee to the effect
that the Carolina cup race broadcast
came in fine. She writes that She
picked Rustic Romance to win "because
a Camden boy was riding her.
Wish I had been there to bet on her".
