Miller Shealy pitched a good
game against Myrtle Beach after
a shaky first inning in which the
Whitecaps capitalizing on Berner's
wildness and some errors ran up
a total of seven runs.
, There have been many decided
improvements in the local ball
park since last season. The new
bleachers are much more com
fortable than the old ones. Inci
dentally the seating capacity of
the field has been greatly en

Sumter is already running into
difficulties in the Tri-State
League in the matter of attend
ance. The Sumter ^tem on Monday
of this week carried an appeal on
its sports page to the fans to turn
out in larger numbers. The at
tendance in the Gamecock City
has been running around 600
which is not enough to support a
Tri-State League team.
Speaking of Sumter a fan from
that city says that while Sumter
will support a winning team it
will not support a losing one. Un
fortunately there must be

Camden Defeats
HartsviUe Before
Very Large Crowd
The Camden Chiefs tuned on
the HartsviUe Sonocoe last Sat
urday night and in a between-
showers game before 2,000 per
sons, walloped them 3 to 1.
Les Robinson's homer in the
fourth with none on and a single
by Billy Mims in the sixth were
the only blows gathered from toe
slants of toe angular George (The
Rube) Wilson, who pitched a
superb game for the Chiefs.
While not matching the 11 vic
tim strikeout record of Harry
Byrd, invading moundsman. The
Rube put nine of the invaders
down by strikeouts, gave but one
walk and was given such brilliant
support by a spunky scrappy team
Hansville had but two running
marooned on the sacks during toe
nine inning* of action.
The game was marked by two
delays caused by rain. The game
was halted in toe second inning
for half an hour when a thunder
storm swept toe area. Again in
the closing minutes of toe seventh
when rate began to fall
The ceremonies, incident to an
opening day game, postponed
from the Saturday preceding,
were aU that the ball crab prom
ised. Attractive Sylvia Dahrid,
chosen as Miss Kenhaw coun
wtito trSCOrXtrG InvO uic SvttCliuXn
Senator R. M. Kennedy. Jr,
was given a rousing ovation. In
front of toe grandstand Queen
Sylvia was flanked by a group
consisting of Senator Kennedy,
Mayor Savage, Councilmen Kar-
esh and McKain and President W.
F. Nettles, Jr, of the baU dub.
Short talks were made by May
or Savage, Senator Kennedy and
President Nettles, after which
Queen Sylvia spoke briefly. Later
the Queen presented each one in
the group with a red rose, taken
from a large bouquet with which
toe had been presented by the
ball dub
The big event brought much joy
to the family of John Padgett,
Laurens street as he was

Rube connected for a nica single
and when Harry Stdkfes singled,
Cox came over with the tying run.

slants and poled it for a double,

The Camden band, stationed in
the north bleachers, contributed
much to the success of the even
ing's protoram, Hal Middleton di
recting the classy musical group
in a group of stirring numbers.
Of the game itself, the story is
told in the action of one inning
the seventh. HartsviUe was lead
ing by virtue of a home run smash
by Letter Robinson, and Harry
Byrd, toe Sonoco pitcher, while
not equaling the hurling perform
ance of The Rube, appeared to
have control of the situation.

And that was enough to put The
Rube on his mettle. In the eighth'
he fanned Jordan and Byrd and
caused Tyson to roll weakly .to

after a dinky roller to The Rube
by Cowick had retired that gent
at fiiet, the lanky southpaw
breezed the pill past Robinson
and Mims so fast they both went
[own via toe whiff route. Inci-
entally The Rube had Robinson’s
number and in retaliation for toe
homer scored by the former Cam
den ace, struck him out three
times.
Camden had six runners strand
ed on the bags. In toe fourth they
threatened to score, also in the
sixth and eighth frames. In hitting
Stokes and Collins had two each
and Johnson. Justice, Cox and
Wilson had singles. The HartsviUe
fits were registered by former
