Phono 716-W CAMDEN, S. C. (By The Stopper) One of the really pleasant features of the recent Horae Bowl game here was meeting Allan Wester, sports director of the radio station at Georgetown. One of the best sports announcers that this writer has heard in years. Wester incidentally has doing the heavy work at the I Clemson football games and last Saturday he broadcast the ior bowl game at Jacksonville, Wester has s style strangely similar to that of Bill Stern, but it is to be expected since* he studied sportcasting at the Stem School in New Yon Wester’s work in broadcasting the Horse Bowl action here was outstanding and we have heard many nice things from the fans who did not see the game but heard Allan’s story over the air. What we started out to write about was not so much on the football side but rather fropi the baseball angle. Incidentally Wes ter took in the polo game here on Jan. 1 and is now a polo thusiast. * We talked to Wester quite s bit about the proposed Palmetto league setup for the coming sum mer and we found that he and the rest of the Georgetown crowd want Camdep in the loop. Al ready the league lists Kingstree, Lake City, Georgetown, Orange burg and Hartsville, although in the latter case, the Sonoco mill is not underwriting the team. Wester tells me that the play- signed by teams will not be ted to any area but can be recruited from anywhere in the country. But the thing that is go ing to be strictly lived up to teams is a salary limitation—or else. The tentative rules provides that each team can have 15 play ers on the active list at one time. If a player is injured and can be E laced on the suspended list until e is able to resume playing. Also, and note thia, any player who played last season can not play with another team the com ing season, since he is regarded as being the property of the 1949 team until formally released. “The big thing”, said Wester in the talk I had with him, “is that the monthly payroll for any club is limited to $3,800. And that in cludes the manager’s salary. In the league we plan to have six night games a week with all rain ed out games made up in double- headers. Games are to be played on a home and home basis, in short, Monday night if Camden plays in Georgetown, the next night Georgetown would play in Camden. And so on. •"Camden wilt be notified Of toe time and place of the next meet ing of the league, which probably wul be at Orangebtu This writer would like to add that right now it looks as if the league president for 1950 will be none other than our good friend John Hardy of Georgetown. That is good news, for we know John will see that rules and regulations of the loop will be enforced to the letter. He T s a red hot prospect for the office of loop prexy and per sonally we hope he gets the job. f N A RSCCNT eaeVMOUNO HEAD Cm N,C, TH£ INC ers limi PRICE of $40.00 to $125.00 on DODGE Job-Rated Trucks Now, More Than Ever Before, See The New 1950 Dodge Truck Before You Buy Delivered price here as low as $1369, tax included, and you can't get all the features Dodge offers in any other truck, re gardless of the price you pay: •WIDER SEATS AND ROOMIER CABS • SHORTER TURNING RADIUS • ELECTRIC WINDSHIELD WIPERS • MORE CUBIC FEET LOAD CAPACITY ••• 1 M See and Drive Dodge Before You Buy Vi, ¥*, 1 Vi and 2-TON MODELS AVAILASLE FOR DELIVERY NOW. ’ a.ji li,l ft . ••• —* : W ?o*THtH£LPorHJS DOG, WHO BQ0U6HT THE 8PUR9 WHICH HR HAD FORGOTTEN, PAUL REVERE.

Paul Pouts, who has been stag ing scoring sprees in every game to date, played with a fast semi- pro team in Maryland. Last sum mer Pouts played a classy second base for the Camden Chiefs of the Palmetto league. He has been averaging close to 40 points a game in the five games played by the Whizz Kids this season. Rube Wilson, former Camden High School ace, played at New berry College and also on a semi- pro team in North Carolina. Red Sharon, who was a sensation in a Texas semi-mro league before coming to Camden with the Du Pont company, was a member of the Texas All-Star Junior College team for three years. Tommie Little played with the Camden High School team for four years and also had some semi-pro experience. Cooper, a former high school ace, had sev eral years experience on all-star teams in the navy. Barmer and Delmar Parker, former Camden High players, are other members of the squad. Parker in particular is a star. In the games played to date the Whizz Kids have won by over 35 points margin in every game. They tackle the speedy Black wood cagers at Blackwood on Jan. 11 and have a return game with them here on Jan. 18. Camden's Whizz Kids who have been bumping off opposing cage teams in a merry fashion for the past several weeks will get the acid test in two games scheduled with the brilliant South Carolina University Gamecocks. The first game will be played at the Uni- versity field house on Jan. 17, and the second, a return affair, in the local high school gymnasium on Jan. 24. Negotiations are in progress for a home series with Presbyterian College, Newberry and other out standing college teams. The man agement is also receptive to a series with Wofford. The Whizz Kids are an aggre gation of former high schooiand semi-pro talent. Manager and captain ia Giles Huggins, former Camden High player, also a star at Furman in both basketball and football, and who saw lots of court action while with the crack Greenville Mills semi-pro team and with teams in the U.

There have been persistent ru mors to the-veffeet that Camden would be represented In the Pal metto leagae thlwyear with a team managed swd directed by Billy La val, Newberry athletic head and president of the Palmetto loop last year.

It is known that a number of clubs have requested the use of the Camden baseball plant for spring training purposes. So far there has been no action taken locally in the matter. A.
