FageUnd’a eon* trllMition to the nu^or leogne baaeball ptctnre^ has reached the end of the big time trail. The New York Olants himded hlni an vneonditkmal release. This was a big surprise In baseball ranks as Mungo top winner for the Giants last year, haring a 14^7 record. But It deretoped that Mungo has been staging.hlf regular blow* ups ta temper of late and whan he failed to get In condign, ,Mel Ott bounced hhn. Columbia aportwrlters and sport casters hare been glrlng the Reds the works of late, due to the fact that the Ooluthhia Sally Leaguers hare been uking ioo many lickings.- This kind of supij^ Isn't fair to the team. It's early majority of the kids are sticking to their gpimi and If you know what I mean, are playing bettor tmll ersry wee^ The youngstme know they are green and probably will take beating after beating but they are learning baseball the hardest but best way They are rrtaxed’and enjoy the sport because they are getting to like It ihore and more. We hope the local tans wl|l the samp spirit the majority of play ers are showing. Attend the games, praise, the boys for .gdod playi, ke^ your mouth shut if^u’re Inclined to be critical. In o^r words, act in manner to boosjt the morale of the squad. Remember, the kids are rOok las at the sport^^ey'll learn and another year will be able to dish up a fair brand,of ball. And‘ on the year following. Camden uould be up among the leaders of ttie high school baseball ranks of the Palmetto Statei. » This is the prise sport story of the month. Last week we read of. how -Sumter High defeated Mannlag High at baseball 2 to 4.

That ball game up at Chester last week was something to write home about In the fifth Inning a Chester player socked a ball into the out- fipld and beHere it or not the grass was so high the ball was Tost and the runner got a homer within the park. i ^ The more we see and bear about some of the other ball lots in the Palmetto State, the better we fe^ about our fenceless pastime pasture. We may not hare an enclpenrs / but we do hare the best .diamond and outfield in the statOT-bar none. Well wager that Tlslting outfield* ers will not suffer lacerations to their limbs through stepping on broken glass. No kUkUag mister, it happened up at Chester. While sereral members of the Camden high sohool baseball team hare dropped from the squad, the E. O. Floyd, coach of the Manning High team in which Floyd states that the statement that Sumter wo{^g|||a just a “damn lie”; Floyd charges^PR Sumter quit cold In the’ sixth inning when Manning was .leading 4 to 2 and threatening to pile up a few, more points. mmm In a letter regarding the game Floyd says. “Mr. Bdltor. these are the, cold facts and ereryohe in Man ning expects to see them in word for word In the paper. Tlyi truth hurts but if you've got to print It. you’ve got to print jt Sumter didn’t do a damn thing but quit.” Sound ner. like sour grapes to this cor* Star baseball player and sin ex|Mft at polo.
