For Iwiudla has decided to rule South Carolina, Florida, tieorgla, Alabama and M i?t? isstppi as "out of bounds areas for uiajor league training camps We have an Idea that the Judge In taking this step In order to carry favor ?i!^ the OPA. as his step will mean that the big league teams will have to remain nearer home for the spring training ^hla will save transportation, space and expense. Frankly, we have had a well developed sense that Judge Landis Is losing hts common sense as he adds the years Whyvho should exempt North Carolina from his out of bounds measure Is beyond us. As a matter of fact folks, it means ! that a lot of labor and time on our part has gone haywire. Now that the cat is out of the sack, we can say that for many weeks we have been negotiating with several big league teams to train in Camden. In out efforts we had the support of Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics, a very good friend of ours .and who joins with us in holding 'he memories of many golf Jaunts in Florida with the pleasantest of rec oll'-t t ion *. Camden as a training center is unsurpassed in the South. Take the years the Syracuse Chiefs. Harrisburg Senators and Toronto Maple LeaK have been here. Could one ask for finer weather. Not an exhibition game camelled Not a day lost in training. We agree with the sport commentator 'if 'he Columbia Stare that Judge Land is would do well ;f he would get our of his swivel chair and 'ravel a hit over the country. W. II we haven't heard anything officially from Chicago as yet regarding flie Landis ruling, hut Scoop La'itnor <>f th?* (Ireenvrlle News says it's so, s., it must he so Anyhow, we're still trying to get ; bill c 1 lib. J We expect \<t hear from Burleigh' Crimes, manager of 'he Toronto team! las', year WhriL last heard from Crimea Informed uh (hat while the Maple l-cafu did not win a pennant or even finish near the top in the International l.eaguc. the tfeaaon w .is a financial success. mm the team made Moine player deals which were quite advantageous. Well, now that the holidaya artover. or JUMt about over, we will be Xin to plan for some banket ball We hope to xet that city leaxue functionlnx Moon and better yet, we hope the fans will HUpport It. Remember back only a few years axo when you used to chuckle oo-i the Skipper h comments regarding the Mullens trio? Well, the whole xanx were back at Christmas time Johnny and Hilly, look lux quite manly and HWrank in (heir uniforms and Freddie, still in civies but hankering for tlxhtiux togs. In the background our good friend Jaek, daddy of the big three looking like a r> .tl proud daddy. Who said anything about gas rationing cutting down attendance at ball games? For a fact, the attendance at the Mix major holiday classics last Friday was 305,000 or 50,000 more than watched the same six games a year ago. f The results went just about an the experts predicted. Georgia squeezed out a victory in the Rose Howl tilt with the Hruins of the I'CLA by a score of 9 to o because Frankie Sinkwich. a Buckeye from Ohio, wore the rebel grey. It was, Sinkwich who scored the only touchdown of the game and it was George Poeschner, his room mate from Ohio who block- I ed a Bruin punt and fell on the ball j for a safety. A ofowd of 93.000 spectators watched the game. | A crowd of 36.0U0 watched Texas turn back Georgia Tech 11 to 7 in, the Cotton Bowl at Dallas. Thirty, thousand fans jammed the Orange! bowl at Miami and saw Alabama | rout Boston College w ith ease 37 to 1 21. At El Paso. Texas, 18,000 saw the j Sun Bowl game between the Second 1 Air Force Bombers and Hardtn-Sim- ' mons, the Bombers w inning 13 to 7. ! At San Francisco the Eastern -All-; Stars nosed out the Western All- 1 Stars 13 to 12 before 58,000. Camden fans, as usual had to be j content with radio reception of only f two of the big games. WBT Char Ilocte, tarried ttin story of the Ala ha ma- Boston College fracas and \NlS ' put 6n (he Hose Ikm I game at 4:45 p rn Kew radios in (he city were able ;o pn k up the stations carrying (he other gauies I As ii'iir* the football season oar tine big laugh comes from the efforts of a group of htg shot sport writers of tile east to promote a postseason game between tile Boston College team and the Chicago Hears. U'lta! a laugh To one who has stil tiled the Boston College schedule, 'he oil'sv wootsv boys iiati a lot of push 'oter competition until they met Holy Cross History records w hut h ipp. ned And then the B-C (headache I*iw tiers 1 ran up against the Bulldogs i from the Cracker state And history .lis what happened that time. We still maintain that Ohio State , or Michigan c ould larrup the daylights out of any and all of the Howl reams What about bowl games next year? "W.- would like to predict at this time hat if there are any. it will probably be between high school teams. 1 Roses and Thorns I \Vm'|| begin the New Year by paas[ in*: thu orchids to th?* now owner of th?* lot corner Broad and Walnut 1 streets for the tine job of cleaning it up. This place used to be an eye sore but it' has been cleared and leveled and now looks like a small park. I It sure is a big improvement and thanks a lot to the one responsible. ! And a bunch of posies to whoever is responsible for the grading and grass planting done ou the parkway I of the Agricultural building on DeNitII) street Take a look at the parkway and then vote a big "Well done' to whoever was guilty of such a splendid job. We note with ntu< h satisfaction that work on the dwellings in the Court Inn area is again in progress after being held up for several weeks by inclement weather. The Traxler company is rushing several of the structures where they will be enclosed. permitting work to be carried on in the interiors.
