this was the first appearance of this
candidate on the platform, I surmised
he had bverlook^ the fact he had
criticised the entire delegation. So at
the conclttskm of my greetings to ,the
people, T asked that this candidate' be
allowed to come back on the platform
and explain to those present the po
litical angle to the bill affecting the
above mentioned project. Instead of
doing what I expected him to do, he
pounced on the entire delegation again
and continued to do so, more or less
throughout the entire campaign.

den got to him for two bits which
wHh a -walk and an error netted two
more runs. Camden’s fifth run came
in the ninth when Coleman, hitting
for Mims, was safe on a fielder’s
choice and scored on a double by
Jiggs Parker. Taylor and Wilson were
fanned to end this threat.
Columbia had two big innings, the
first with six runs and the fifth with
another sextet of Caps racing over
the pan. In this second instance, mis
judging of long drives into the out-
DeLoach paved the way for a slugging
spree. Good baseball would have re
sulted la the side being retired with
out a run being scored. 'This was
the only inning that Scott was in
trouble, although Columbia did add
two more counters in the ninth after
two were down when three bits were
mixed with an error.
Both teams registered seven errors.
