Thla game clearly indicated the latent potentlalltlee the Camden team offers, which bodea well fof 1947 and 1M8. Thla comer has nominated aa all* atate tlmter for the All-Star Morth* Sonth Carolina classic at Charlotte. Max DnBoee, BlshoprlUe youngster, who can play first base with the best of them. And we also nominated JUn* lor Southall, Sumter pitcher, as being of interstate battle caliber. Southall, In our opinion, is the best Junior Le gion pitcher In the Palmetto state. We also suggested for consideration Harvin, of Sumter, for backstop honors. ' Over in Columbia Jake Penland, the unafraid sports editor of The State, ukea the Colombia post of the American Legion to task for the poor support offered its team (n the state competition. And the same situation . prevails {right here in Camden. If fifty per cent of the Leroy Belk post members turned out for the Camden Junior games it would make a spMt- did crowd, in the Camden.Hartsville game we dare say there were not twelve post members in the park. If the sponsoring body does not support a team they cannot expect the public to. Pageing Abe Pennell—-state athletic officer of the American Legion. What happened up Cheraw way. We read in the exchanges where Cheraw for; felted two games to Hartaville and two to Sumter. What gives? The coach of the Hartaville team told us last week bia team had won three and lost two games. Two of the games won were by forfeit from Cheraw. Cheraw took, the place of Manning From The-^ress Box Player>Manager Mathis of the Sum ter Piskateers was given plenty of bronx cheers and boos by the hun dreds of fans gathered at Legion Park last week Wednesday to m Sumter bow to a slugging Camden gangr- Mathls wrangled and protested in every inning and on one occasion de layed the game ten minutes while consldMlng whether or not he would take his team from the field. He filed a protest on the game with Umpire Tonunle Bruce—what for—no one seems to know and we doubt if Mathis knows himself. We admit that Tommie was missing on balls and strikes, but that is to be expected when an umpire is obliged to work back of tbe pitcher. It is far from satisfactory. Tommie was missing Wilson’s drop b<dl again and again, the ball dipping ovm* tbe crater of the pan letter high and a perfect strike. Bobble Wilson pitched a beautifnf game and should have had about 18 strike outs. He gave up but sik htta, scattering them over as many in nings. He fanned 16 batters. The outstanding player on the Sumter team was Claffey, center field er, who pulled some sensational stabs in that garden. Claffey \» a wizard as a fly hawk but he cannot hit. Panning three times and flying out to right in four times up. ^ The Robinson brothers, Bennie and Lester, tied for swat honors 'in thb Sumter game, each lotting three hits out of five times up. Wallie Mims was the high scorer scoring threp runs. No Set Rule For Height or Fhnce Says Red’s Leader Eurl BhM AMam It Bm Maikl ^ Hifii Ellos^lk To Sermm in the district tournament.
