The Camden Newt Service on Wednesday 'received an inquiry relative to the league taking over the Camden baseball park for ppring training activities of 200 girl athletes during the month of April. Camden waa recommended on the All-American Baseball league by Wilton Garrison, sports editor of the Charlotte Observer, who in a letter to the News Service stated ♦hat such a program would be the hlegest from a publicity standfiolnt ♦hat (Tam'den had ever put before tho public. He called/attention to the nation wide scope ofj the All-America Vague and how the games were broadcast by radio and television lad pictured In th© news reels. The ‘raining -activities here would, he nolnted out, feature news stories by name sport writers of the na tion, news reels pictures, etc. The News Service turned the •etter over to the Chamber of Com merce and Mrs. Kathleen Watts, cxecutlvp secretary, stated that It would have her immediate atten tion. The fact that some 200 girl players would come here appears It this time to be the big stumbling block to a successful fruition of the plan, for the reason that Cam den is not in a position to house ♦hat many, unless private hop^s were utilized. One baseball en thusiast suggested that the bar- tacks at the Sontbem Aviation school could be used, but here, ngain, it is pointed out that the barracks are without the necessary (.quipment, such as bedding, etc. Camden Men Are Honored At SAR.
