While the baseball game drew!
a near^apacity throng to the
diamond pasture, the polo game at
Kirkwood field between Camden
and West Point drew a throng
that taxed the parking faciliUee of
the area. It la a strange paradox
that the crowd at the polo game
waa made up largely of fans from
out of the City, while at the base*
ball game it waa definitely a home*
folk affair.

Business Manager Qeorge W.

games. Hamp, by the way. Will be
base umpire in all home games of
the Palmetto league White Sox the

will probably get a b«rth as

They tipped the lid off the base
ball program here laat Friday af
ternoon, and from 4 p. m., until
tbe shades of ni|^t were falling
fast the Darlington and Camden
high school teams staged a scoring
test with all honors going to the
invaders who tumbled the home
hopes. 31 to (.
It was the first competitive ball
game tor some of the Camden lada
and they Just didn’t know what to
do‘with the b^. Whirit; to view
of the tact that the Btoldog dia
mond talent had had but one or
two days workout, whereas Dar-
lin||ton has been playing for sev
eral weeks, accounts tor the farce
dished up. .
It is hoped that the baseball tana
will view the high school baseball
picture in the proper perspective.
The boys need encouragement and
not knocks. Perhaps if this an-
couragement la forthcoming. Cam
den can restore basehsll popularity
and reaultant better teams. This
writer recalls that back some eight
or nine years Camden did have
good baseball teams.*
