The bleachers and grandstand
gare Bob Scott a big hand tost
week Wednesday for his fine per-
fwinance against Bennettsmie.
The real highlight of the game was
the manner which the local hurler
bore down in that <fourth frame,
when with the sacks loaded and no
one down, he struckout the next
three batters.
to the erent the Chiefs get into
the O’Shaughneesy playoffs in the
Palmetto loop, where oh where, are
we going to place the fans? The
attendance at the game toat Fri
day night with the Snmter Fisk-
atMra here, when some 2,200 to
2,500 fans Jammed the park to
OTerflowlng, forcing the halting of
the game for ten or fifteen min
utes as many hundreds s^aought
spectator locations along the left
field foul line, waa the largest In
Camden htotory. It wUl be eren
greater during the ptoyoffs.
We hare auggeated that the
baseball club group secure the
lo^ of all STallable benches In
this area and hare them placed
along the left field line.
We hare been asked how the
crowd last Friday compered with
polo games or Bulldog football at'
tMidance figures. Of course it was
not as big as Is In erldenee st Cam-
den-Sumter football games, or as
large as the crowds that used to
turn out for the polo games during
the days when the Essex Troop
brought thousands of O. 1.8 from
Ftort Jackson, When they battled
the Camden or Ifulberry foursomea.
Bnt the average turnout of baae-
ball fans exceeds the average of
either the football or polo events.
Which of eonrse gives ns a
chuckle, when we reeall some eight
years ago. when we aitiued that
Camden would support a baseball
program, provldtog we had a good
team, a good ball lot and lights.

Sng Horton. BlsbopvlUe bi^
school southpaw, pitched fourhlt
ball Saturday night but lost a
heartbreaking battle to the Camden
Chiefs when BUI Mims, Camdea
second sacker, rode home in the
eighth with a golden horse shoe
around his neck, giving Oamdan
a 3 to 2 decision bver the cellar-
title holders from Lee county;
With the game all tied op at
2 all, Mims opened the eighth by
waiting on four wide ones to get
a life. He promptly stole second,
making It by a hair-line decision
from Umpire Irby. He took third
on Robinson’s Infield out and then
proceeded to try and pilfer the
horn 4 station.
Mims bad a good start down the
path before Horton made hit pitch.
But Jones, visiting catcher, got the
ball and tagged Mims, only to bsve
the apple fall from his hand. Um
pire Ace Parker had already called
Mims out but reversed his decision
when Jones dropped the baU.
Camden drew ttost blood to the
contest scoring a run In the third.
Tbe visitors came riidit back to
the fourth to take the lead. 1 to 1,
on runs scored by singlet by Rosa
Horton and June Truesdell and an
error by Mims. Camden'came baek
to even the count In the sixth when
the visitors put two bobbles on
the record.
Horton had the Jinx sign on tfie
Camden sluggeri, fanning Scott
three times, Blalock, Stone and
Lory twice each and Leary once.
Against Horton’s ten strfkeoats.
Scott, Camden chunker, got ato.
Scott walked but one Itotter and
Horton gave passes to fonr. \
The high light of the-game came
in the second Inning when Omdy
Horton, playing in deep right,
gathered in Stone's long drive and
made a perfact psg to Joaea at
the plate to retire DeLury who
raced in from third.
