. week ago laat Sunday were B®y-
Bral baseball mofula ot note. The

leds Fred Hunter, Jr., together
-rlth’the chief of the Cincy Reds
fjrm system being some of them.
I These men came over to meet
Lome of the baseball fans and talk
bver the coming of the ProTldence
Chiefs of the New England league
here In April. We understand the
Hslt will result In some needed im-
Irotements at the Camden baseball
ark There are several spots In
he playing area that need elevat-
hg, particularly arpund third base.
That the playing field of the
lamden ball lot will be 100 -per
ent perfect goes without saying
or the reason that President Hun-
»r of the Columbia Reds is send-
hg his ground keeper over here
check the area and outline what
lUST be done.
Then there is the matter of a

right fleld fence ten feet high.
With the opening of major league
spring training only a matter of
two months away, local fans are
beginning to wonder Just what 1S47
will bring Camden in the shape of
baseball.
Of course we will have several
weeks during which a number of
pro-games will be staged by Provi
dence against teams of other
leaguls training in this area. Then
will rame the high school season
and in that respect Camden should
show a big improvement over last
year. The high school season will
be followed by the Junior Legion
program and here again there
should be an improvement.
It should be of interest to the
fans to know that all of the high
school Slid Junior Legion games
will be played at night.
The big question of the baseball
chatter seems to evolve around the
matter of a city team that will
elthw play In the Palmetto league
or operate on an independent basis.
No one wants to see the fares of
1946 repeated. And unless steps are
taken now toward organising, we
will be seeing more of that weird
1946 brand dished up next summer.
That la, if we are to have baseball
at all.
While the operation of the Cam
den White Sox was In Itself a Bob
Hope number, it wasn’t any more
amusing than the manner In which
the Palmetto loop functioned. Es
pecially In the waning days of the
season when leading teams began
to pack their lineups with stars of
other clubs. It was the biggest
farce of disorganisstlon this writer
has ever witnessed and If the Pal
metto loop is to contiaue, there
should be a shakeup of teams and
the adoption of a enw set of rules.
Right now, we suggest to the
committee members who volunteer
ed to sort of. steer the baseball
banque next summer that hty be
looking around for a team man
ager.
