We beard sad news from Florencd—

Camden has gotten away to a fine

school and Legion programs in the
great American sport is to be made a
big success here, it seems to this
writer that it would be a fine stroke
of business next year to install the
necessary poles on the baseball lot
and simply transfer the flood lights
from the football field standards to
the baseball field.
