PITCHER WON GAME

Warner Pitched Great Ball on Stockton Lawn Yesterday

STORY OF THE GAME From First! to Last It Was a Battle Royal Between Good Teams and the Best Won

Pitcher Harry Warner won the game for Cape May yesterday .There was some good playing outside the slab, but after all is said and “argitied” the pitcher

won the battle.

Harry Warner has his head working all the time. There is no guess about his work. The fact that he is an old Cape May boy does not influence this statement. Regardless of all other things, Warner^proved himself

a baseball player.

Johnson had an off day. He is about the safest player on the Cape May baseball team. Never a heavy batter, he generally has "the eye" and gets to first pretty often and is one of the best base runners on the team, while in the field he is usually dependable. Yesterdap he got mixed up with the long grass and one of the errors charged to him waa entirely excusable. And then why should there have been the change at third? Why should not the ball player who played the last innings on third have been on the bag from the start? Why should there be this everlasting trying out of men in a matched game? Cape May won because of the splendid superiority of her battery. The infield ought to be kept together to play good ball. Doak caught the game of his life. All the good things that can be said-of Warner apply equally to Charlie Doak. He was there .with the goods at all stages. It is one thing lo be a mudbank behind the bat, and quite another thing to field the plate. Doak was all that could • be expected of a catcher yesterday. He delivered the goods. The battery did the business. The infield is not weak, but there was no’ the snappy play the inside boys usually put up yesterday. It may be they did not feel called upon to play their best. But, after all is said and done Cape May broke the line of defeat and won yesterday's game, strictly on it merits. It was not an accident. I

Twenty-three years ago Dr. J. H. Ingram and Miss Bailie Voss were united in marriage. Miss Voss was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ezekiel Vos* of Boulh Beavllle, Cape May county, the father having since died. A premarital agreement had been^rrived at etween Ihe young oouple that the 'hined mission field should be their objective point, and labors in that field In the interest* of Christianity and civilization be their life work. It was a great sacrifice on the part of the bride, and the farewells to parents and friends were said with saddened hearts and tearful eyes. Low, trust, confidence and religious zeal were the dominant sentiments which strengthened and supported them during the long voyage across the sea. Dr. Ingram, on becoming settled at le mission al Tung Choo, entered earnestly upon his duties as medical missionary, Ihe young wife, too, finding many duties in connection there•ith incumbent upon her. In time, three children were born to them, two of w bom lie buried beside their mother in llial far away land. Ihe mother dying two weeks after (he birth of ‘the child, a daughter, given the name of Ruth- Ruth is now sixteen years of age, and about ten days ago reached her grandmother's home at Booth Keaille. She was meHn New York by her uncle, George Ingram, of Trenton. Miss Ingram is a most lovely character and has hod excellent training at the mission, and U well educated. The chief object of her visit al this time, islting relatives, is to pursue a four years’ course of study at Oberlin College, Ohio, her intention being to return to her father at Tung Choo after gradoation, and engage in the work there to which she has become so de-

votedly attached.

Father arid daughter had narrow escapes from being put to death during the Boxer uprising, making their escape to this country. Here Dr. Ingram again married, and relumed to Tung Choo. T. K. B.

THE HEART ON THE SLEEVE.

I Original.] When a child I lived In summer by Ihe seashore and grew up amphibious. One July 1 went to the old place for a rest, but I met rather an adventure—a very ImiKirtant adventure to me. While walking on the beach I met two ladles, evidently mother and daughter. Ihe daughter was pretty, but as she gave me a passing glance I noticed a strange antagonism on her young face. I noted op her sleeve Just shove the cuff a little gold heart studded

rubles.

The uext morning we got s northeaster. and the bulletin said “Dai _ ous." I sauntered down to the beach. But few were In the water, though noticed one person far out among tha i not long In detennln-

I had si

discovery when a faint cry. “Helpr came In above the wind. Hie bathing muster ran to the water. I threw off my coat and shoes, crying to him, “Go back epd get your boat. 1 " Then I plunged liTand after a struggle reached a vromnu who was being whirled away by a sea ponsse or whirlpool. I caught her and kept her op the ha thing mauler reached ns In boat, without nblcb she could i have been saved. When pulling her Into the boat. 1 first noticed that she was the girl I bad met o and there on the sleeve of ker bathing dress was the red heart. I soon learned that her name wae Cluixtobel Keith. I learned a great many other tilings about her. but ono thing 1 did not learn—her reason wearing the little red heart The quotation. “I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at" was familiar to me. hut whether It bad thing lo do with the trinket In 1 did not know and was not sumptuous as to ask. Miss Keith as soon as she had recovered sent for me and thanked me for saving her fife, but she seemed to speak the words under some constraint of the nature of which I was Ignorant Her mother, on the contrary, plainly felt eyery word with which s her gratitude. She was a lovely old lady, and It was plain that her daughter was all the-world to her. We at found that we had visited the aa countries and had mutual friends, short. I became Intimate with them. CUrl*tobcl Keith—I learned that the had lieen so called from the poem of that name, and she partook of Its weirdness—seemed rather Jo that I bad saved her life a; never in my company without that constraint she had' evinced while thanking me for doing so. Her mother, on the contrary, was friendliness Itself, and 1 was not long In detecting that she was giving me every opportunity with her daughter. Nor wo backward in availing myself ot While Chrlstobe! Keith attracted m« . her personality, the mystery surroundIng her drew me with all the force of ihe sea pousse from which I had saved her For awhile she seemed not to have made up her mind just bow to treat me. whether to encourage or bold me off; then suddenly she seemed warm to me with her whole soul. This, In turn, was followed by Icy By -this time 1 bad got my beatings ■md surroundings and laid my eouree. I was an old band at the game the lady seemed disposed to play and went Into the contest ulth all _ of one who had been often under fire. Fortunately a party of my friends came down for a few weeks, and for them I deserted the girl who wore her heart upon turf sleeve. An old flame of mine waa among the number, and I de.-oted myself to her. But never for a moment were my thoughts diverted from Chrtstobel Keith. At first this Change was parried by Miss Keith when we met with that look of defiance with which she had drat greeted me. Then It was a troubled look. and. lastly, one day when I pasaed her I noticed that the red heart was missing. Then I learned that mother and daughter had left th* seaabore. A note was left for roe, ad'dresM? In the mother's handwriting. On opening It I was thunderstruck at finding within a bit of tissue paper, the heart. Mra. Keith bid me a friendly goodby and added. “I leave you. without my daughter’s knowledge, the trinket she has been accustomed to wear. Keep It aa a token of our grat-

itude."

Suddenly the meaning of the gift be ime plain to me. I had a stanch friend In the mother, who had InfornM me. by the token, that her daughter’s heart was mine. The rest of the mystery was as much a mystery as ever.
