As all of tb^ fans now know,
GreenTllle did not make much of a
showing in the regional play at
Greenville. The Spinners had a good
infield but the pitching staff was
woefully weak. Thomaston, Oa., won
the tourney and went on to raeot
other regional champs at the sectional
playoff In Charleston.
Yes, the Junior program needs a
grand cleaning up. That flstcuft af
fair at OreenviUe certainly did not
reflect any luster upon a program
which had clean sportsmanship as one
of ite es^inal objectives,

told they would have |p play for the
title against the Cincinnati team that
evening. The afternoon game had
been played in a slziling temperature
of around 100 degrees and two Louis

Mrs. Dallas Mahoney, who for; the

of the Canteen at the-Soutbem Avia

Shop on DeKalb street, next door to
the Camden Theatre and will open It
for huslness Saturday under the name
of the Mahoney Soda Shop.
The shop has been closed this week
while renovating and cleaning has
been carried on. When opened to
morrow it will be splc and span. Mrs.
Mahoney plans, to give the shop her
personal supervision which is an as
surance of good food and excellent
service.
It is the plan of the new owner to
operate the soda shop in a manner
as to make it a popular gathering
place for the whole family. It will
be open seven days a week and should
prove an Interesting asset to the many
people who pq^onlze the matinee and
night showings at the Camden theater.
Located next to . the movie bouse it
offers an excellent opportunity for a
snack after the show.
This location has been used for a
