found the little Scotchman all excited

him regarding the disregard by mo

Seems that people t^ho drive down

to park a half block from the post

That little ditty is dedicated to the
brave lads of toe citlsens sporto
committee, who lost out in their ef
fort to put Camden up in the raaks
of progressive cities threugh the
building of a modern football stad^ium
here,
* * * * .
A meeting of some thirty or more
citlsens was held at the recorder’s
sanctum last Friday evening at which
an architect fropt; Sumter explained
the plana he had drawn for a football
stadium that would be In keeping
with toe prestige of Camden football.

A majority of those present liked
toe plans, liked the idea, but the big
objection was “where do westet toe
cash?”
• • • V
And that appears to be toe stumb
ling block to toe whole plan. The
sports commRtee had a flne idea and
we wish it could have been poasible
for it o have been carried out. Other
cities and towns, some of them
smaller and Camden, are building
new stadiums, baseball plants, etc
Camden reafly needs.a new football
arena, as the prese'nt affair is about
the poorest in the state.

We think the sports fcommlttee
should be given a hand for their in
tentions. Now they are throu|^
whlcimeavea toa proMrar of BM flat-'
ball field rl^t in the lapa of the
school trustees. Something must be
done with the bleachers at the fMd
before another season rolls around.
And It might be added that some
thing itUl have to be done with the
bleadiers in the baaehall unit, aa
quite a Mt has eltber rotted out or
been stolen for firewood.

Humphrey F. Finney, editor of The
Maryland Horae and field secretary
of the Maryland Horse Breeders'
SMociation had to tell this writer and
Harry Klrkover last week. Says llr.
Finney: “In toe years before the war,
the trend of toe fine horses was to
ward Camden. This year it is toward
Aiken.”
And until Camden has q snltable
hotel where followers of toe eqmes-
trnin programs may come and stay,
the trend will be away from ua.

The Camden high school team is
entered in toe stlte touniament that
is to bo held at toe Sumter high
school gymnasium on Thursday; Fri
day and Saturday. Feb. 28 and March
1st and 2nd.
The Bulldog maple plodders have
had a fair season so far. but are not
envisioning landing any touma-
mmit title. Last week Tuesday, the
team swamped the Cheeter cagers at
Chester and then jaunted over to
Bishopville where the* Dragons of that
community banded them a 43 to 20
trouncing. This week Tuesday the
team entertained the Sumter Oame-
cocks here and tonight they journey
to Summerton for a rettirn match
with Summerton High.
Next iSiesday night Chester plays
a return game here, and on the Fri
day following go to Darlington to
play. The schedule comes to an end
with toe Bulldogs taking on Bishop
ville here on Feb 26.
Following toe state cage jneet%
Coach Lindsay Pierce will start his
youngsters off on a three weeks
spring training football prt^^ram. And
during toe last week in March, the
baseball candidates will take over.
As Pierce has stated before, the
baseball program will start from
scratch, but it is believed that there
is a chance to put a fairly good team
In the field. '
By toe way—^we know now why
the hoped-for Thanksgiving day home
coming game between Camden and
Sumter did not materialise. Coach
Pierce would have liked to play t^e
Qmecocks on turkey day but it seems
that for some twenty years the
Thanksgiving game between Sumter
and Florence hat been a traditional
event, and the school trustees of the
Sumter Highs could not see their
way clear to making any change.
Major and Mrs. F. A. Brinson re
turned Friday night after a visit to
relatives in Florida. While in Miami
they flew to Havana, Cuba, on a
sight-seeing trip. The Brinsons left
