Sports Roundup
by GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK R-This is annual
"Why Spring Training?" week,
when almost any publication you
pick up will feature a genuine,
hand.tooled expose" of the Gus
tom of taking baseball players
South for a month of sunshine and
exercise before the season begins.
It is not really necessary to read
more than one of them, for the
general theme is the same. Spring
training is strictly a racket de-
signed to get the paying customers
up North excited ahead of time.
Il doesn't do anything for the
players that couldn't be done by
dunking them a couple Of times
In a turkish bath.
As for the actual benefits, we've
often wondered vaguely about that
ourselves. The best conclusion is
that it doesn't do any of them any
harm unless they step in hole
on some minor league field, and
that it undoubtedly does some of
them a lot of good, especially those
who are inclined to take on blub.
Der during the winter.
In every teams camp there are
players who are ready to 60 nine
innings the day they report. In
fact. one of Dazzy Vance's favorite
stories about Uncle Wilbert Robin
son, the fabulous old Brooklyn
manager, concerns the camp open.
ing when Robby greeted all his
athletes fondly and said that, dog.
gone it, he was hungry to see
some baseball and how about hav.
ing a game?
"And," Dazzy recalls, 1--WE put
On a real humdinger for him, nine
full innings with sliding and every.
thing. Robby sat there in his rock
or and loved every minute of it.
Some Of US were a mite sore the
next few days"
That, however, was an excep-
ucnal case. The average manager
today doesn't want to see anything
except some running and pepper
games for most of the first week.
That doesn't go, of course, for
players who have been earning
pay In the Caribbean leagues all
winter. Actually, it's a little silly
5or these men to report at all for
about the first two weeks Of
training, and some of them don't.
Those who make a career OF
Kidding tie sunshine camps always
point out that the big leaguers
trained In the snowy North during
the recent war years and ap-
peared to be in about as good
shape as ever for opening day.
Brooklyn team in the vast West
Point fieldhouse, comedies that his
boys were ready. But neither he
nor any other manager would like
TO repeat the experience.

Club Work Built In Columbus
BY Community 4-H Club Work

A group of community All
Clubs were started i'm Columbus
County about four years ago by
Mrs. Gayle Powell, former Assist
ant Home Agent. The first club
was started by Mrs. Pinkney Will
liamS of the Clarendon commun-
ity and since that time other
groups have organized in other
sections of the county. The clubs
meet once each month and a typi-
cal meeting consists of a business
meeting, an educational demon
Stration by the leader or club
member and recrcational period.
The purpose of the community
club is to supplement and streng-
then the All clubs which are Or
ganized in each school of the
County.
Recreation is an important part
OF All club work but very little
recreation can be held in the
school meetings. The community
clubs are the ideal place for it and
80 Na'N DpS' WV y rec
rcational program has enabled CO.
lumbuS County to be one of the
winning counties in the Rccrea-
ton and Rural Arts Contests. The
Clarendon Club produced State
Winner in Recreation and Rural
Arts last year. The winner was
Marjorie Ward, Route l Claren-
The neighborhood leaders also
help the All members with their
individual projects in farming and
homemaking and assist them with
their project record books during
the meetings. The club members
take more interest in their pro-
Jccts when they learn that some
of the leading people in their
community are interested in them.
Each year we find that large
percentage of the individual CO.
unity project winners come from
ore or the other of the community
clubs.
Most of the leaders have been
selected from the Home Demon
stration Clubs under the supe.vi-
sion of Mrs. Elaine Blake, Home
Agent, for Columbus. A few men
leaders have been added and sew
eral husbands assist with the clubs
when ever they can.
The clubs which have already
been organized and hold regular
meetings are as follows:
