Wednesday when my good friend
Darid Baum breesed up.
“Hey Skipper,'’ chirps David,
Tve got a good one to tell you
today. Supposing I had a revolver
with Just one cartridge in the cham
ber and saw a hungry lion galloping
at me from the front and a
ferocious bull coming from my
right, which would I shoot with
my lone cartridge?”
“That’s easy,” quoth I. "Tourd
shoot the hungry lion.”
' "What about the ferocious bull?”
inquired David.
“A good insurance man like you
can always shoot the bull,” saeth I.

Polo Chatter
The fame last tundsy between
Camden and Augusta brought
out the largest opening-game
crowd of any season In’ many
years.
Bright sunshine, eiwing-like tmpn-
peratnre and a soft fast turf on
the playing field provided a com
bination that was perfect for the
afternoon.
t
Martial muaie over the public
addrese system contribute to
the afternoon pleaaure. Cyril
Harrieon’a play by play account
of the aftemoon’a happcnlnga-
waa just perfect
A Columbia radio station wants
to broadcast a chukker or two some
Sunday afternoon and * will prob
ably ask Harrison to handle the
play by play part'of same.
’The Augusta ponies were faster
and apparently ^tter trained than
the ponies used by the Camden
players. Minnick, Timm and Preece
proved a fine working trio for the
visitors.
If Harrison plays with Csmden
-next Sunday after the Augusts
tsfent the odds will be 7-5 fav
oring Camden.
The American Legion handled
the gates at the polo field and did
a nice Job. The police looked after
the traffic problem engendered by
the many cars.
The playing field was In beauti
ful condition but the area in front
of the grandstand along auto row
needs a lot of attention. A mow
ing machine would eliminate a lot
of the weed growth. .
A motorist coming from Colum
bia Sunday afternoon tells us
that at about 8 o’clock ho mat s
psrads of over seventy automo
biles near Pontiac, this parade
representing sonss of the ears
returning to Columbia from the
polo game. Scores of othsiw re
mained in Camden to go to the
Sartfield dub, 'niomas -Tavern
and other eating plaeea.
Dallas Mahoney’s concession
stand did a big bualneM during
the game. The former city bine
coat says he waa Jnst about clean
ed out of loft ditoka, candy bars,
etc.

J.
season of 1947 in Camden and the
fans came from all over South
Carolina and from points in North
Carolina to watch the players and
ponies battle on the flne„turf of the
big arena
Metropolitan -newspapers were
represented by sport writera^d
camera men and In the
editions of these sheets, many pic
tures were noted. Word coverage
of the game was ivovlded the visi-
tora by a local news burean.
Cyril Harrison, who had bden
plekad to lead the Camden teem,
waa suffering from a bad cold and
did not want U> nin the chance ol^
adding ,to It, 10 he handled the
ulerophona <tf the gaUle addrime
•yatem, giving a tine presentation
df the play by play action.. Harrl-
ton la clever in this rerfe, and his
knowledge of the game and play
ers enables him to give the spec
tators a weU coordinated and ao-
enrate portrayal of the field acUon.
CamdMi lined np with M. B.
Bums at No. 1, Kirby Tapper, Sr.,
a No. S. Carl Ughttoot at No. 8
and Major Carll of Fort Jai^kaon,
who plays with the Camden clnb,
at No. 4. For Angnata, a tall lanky
chap named Fred Timm was at No.
1 apd was a beantlfal player and
shot expert Kirby Tapper, Jr.,
donned the Angnata eolors at No.
2. Jimmie Minnick was at No. 2
and Tbrrance Preece, a terrific
player was at No. 4.
It lo<died aa If Camden was go
ing to make a walkaway of the af
fair aa Llghtfoot raced half the
length of the field after the initial
toas-ln to aixire. In the second per
iod Llghtfoot put Camden 2 points
to tpe good with anothar score. This
was a beautlfnl play with the
chunkr Indian rider getting beau-
ttfnl Buppmt from fini^, who rode
off all opposition as Llghtfoot tore
in for the kill. Timm (MF Angnata
scored first for the invaders in the
second chukker. PreeOe .tied up the
count In the third and when Kirby
Tapper, Jr., following close on fhe
heels of Timm as hei raced down
on the Camden goal, drove Timm's
shot, which bounded back from a
iroal post, back between the poets
to glve^ the vlaltors a t to 2 lead
ker ended
In the fifth chukker. Minnick
again scored, making it 7 to 8. The
crowd, definitely Camden-minded
was unusually quiet, not being able
to sense the fact that their favo
rites were being given some rough
going-over by the invaders. Kirby
Tupper, Sr., got a big hand when
he scored two nice goals to make
It 7-4. In' the sixth and final period
Camden' scored again when Llght
foot put the willow between the
Angnata posts. Minnick railed the
visitors total to 8 when another
free shot from the 40-foot Uaa
Kirby 'Tapper, Sr., raised the Cam-
den total to 6 with a well-placed
shot_Ja8t before the game came
to a close.
The two teams will meet in tfie
second game of the aeiiee on neat
Snnday afternoon at I o’clock. It
la expected .that Harrison will get
Into the action in this battle which
haa sent the odds to about 7-6
Camden’i favor.
