註釋
Undated clipping [1958?], discussing a 1908 baseball game in the South Atlantic league, recalling when J.L. Williams, superintendent of the Wateree Cotton Mill in Camden (South Carolina), suggested that a seventeen-year-old resident of the textile mill village be drafted as pitcher during an upcoming game against the Columbia Mechanics. The young man was future major league baseball player John Cleave "Rube" Benton (1890-1937). A native of Clinton, North Carolina, Benton later became well-known as a left-handed "southpaw" pitcher for Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants.
