vandalism st the ball park and foot

Vandalism always means property de
struction and It coats money to make
repairs. In some instances It is im
possible to seenre the necessary ma
terials to make the repairs. If the
culprits are ever found, an example
should be made of them.

Coleman, the Winnsboro lad, who

club in batting, according to figures

home games.

a ffve-innlng one-hit game at Dmyfuss
field last Friday night '^e game,
rated as “the event” of the round-

Coleman took part In five of these
games. Mims, second baseman, who
has played in all seven games played

deluge of rain at the conclusion of
tha fifth inning.
Opposing Bcott in the melee was
Joe LAndrum, the Ctdnmbia ace, who
saw action in the all-etar game at
Charlotte. Landrum was nicked for
two blows In the five rounds. And
incideatally, it was Walter Taylor,
Camden third baseman, who register,
ed the hits, both being two base
blows.
It was a great pitcher’s battle wbUe
it lasted. Scott fanned 8 Cklumbians
while Landrum bewildered 5. Both
hnriers were in good form as the
performance indicated. Neither of
the runs scoredgwere eam^. Oo^
lumbia’s run came In the third in
ning as the result of a walk issued
to Durbin, followed by a double by
Red Hollk. Camden scored in the
fifth when Cox reached first after
the Columbia catcher dropped the
third strike and 1^ the ball get away
from him. As Coleman was tanning
Cox stole second. Taylor came
across with his second two base blow,
scoring Cox.
Coach Lindsay Pierce of the Cam
den team, notified the Columbia team
that the game was belxig played under
protest by reason of the Coiambla
batting order being changed
. Columbia fans had come to the
game with the expectation of seeing
Rpibe Wilson, CKmden’s sensational
lefty In actfon. However, (Wilson, it
was said, was definitely oft any
pitching assignment the bsluce of
^ xenott due to * fbta Hjjwent In
his left shoulder. This may prove a
handicap to the Camden team in wlp-
nlng the lower state honors,^as OMch
Pierce has only Scott and Hancock to
rely upon. Scott gave tl\e fans a big
show for their money in the Dreyfoss
field game. Hancock was converted
from a catcher, outfielder, first base-
man to a pitcher gnd has been doing
nicely so far In the games he has
worked.
