Thursday Night's

Eight pitchers, five for Orangeburg and three for the
Camden Chiefs, paraded before the largest crowd of the
season here Tuesday night and saw the Chiefs nose out

the Chiefs pulled some sensation-

Orangeburg
Spectators jammed all seating
accommodations, sat on the top of
the park fence or in the grass.
They watched the Chiefs open up
an offensive that put them ahead
6 to 2 after two innings of ac
tion. The Braves with a run in
the third and fourth and a four-
run splurge in the sixth took an
8 to 6 lead which they held until
the eighth, when Camden tied up
the count.

Brave pitcher. And when
rST*
Canada
popped out to Catcher Grant the
fans gre
groaned. Joe Socey, who had
previously collected two hits,
swatted his third of the evi
and sent Hutchinson home wi
the winning run.
Archie Sztorc started hurling
for the Chiefs and yielded five
hits in three innings, two being
doubles by Lament and Grant In
the third Bubber Kinsey hit the
ball out of the lot and it was cur
tains for Archie. Miller Shealy
took over and after retiring the
side and also putting the visitors
down in the fifth through the aid
of a double play, Tucker to Fouts
to Johnson, the Braves climbed
on him in the sixth and four hits,
a walk and an error netted them
four runs and the lead in the
chase 8 to 6. After the visitors
threatened in the ninth. Manager
Jackson sent Hutchinson to the
hill in the tenth. Hutch allowed a
hit in the tenth and Uth, each a
scoring threat.
Orangeburg Started Mac Mc
Cullough on the mound but a six
hit, five run barrage ended his
stunt and Solodar was called in.
Solodar walked the first batter
and when a hh cracked off the
bat of Chino Bernal, he was
yanked and Fister, a Chief castoff,
was called to duty. When he
weakened in the eighth, Ouzts,
Orangeburg manager, took him
out and sent his ace Barney Mar
tin in. It was a neat single off
Martin by Socey that tied up the
count in the eighth.
Martin worked through the
ninth when he too was taken out
and Fagan took over. A ruling by
Umpire Willaimson at the plate in
the ninth when Scarborough tried
to score on Tucker’s long drive to
right was called out at the piste,
sent the game into the extra
frames.
Johnson, Tucker, Cox and Socey
led the Camden attack with three
hits each. For the Braves it was
Skeeter Livington with four for
six who took batting honors for
the evening. Grant had three for
five with two being doubles.
Johnson had a triple in the first.
The game was the longest of
the season, taking three hours and
a half.
The fielding of both teams;
particularly the Camden talent,
was brilliant. The outfield made
several startling saves. The play
ers grabbing threatened hits out
of the zone. Fouts at second for
