i CAPE- MAY'S BALL TEAM ■ LINEUPS FOR TODAY'S CAME ; A Short History of the Individnal Record of the Team. } Baseball enRflusiasm has been thor1 oughly aroused by the undefeated . team. The question is being asked on ' every side "Where did they manage to get such a good team?" The answer comes in the shape of the record of - each man on the team. "Flick" Stites has been playing ball in and around Cape May for ao long that it ia hardly necessary to go into 1 much detail. Stites played on the • University of Pennsylvania five or six r years ago. He made quite a record and in his last year was captain of the team. Since then hs has been keeping up his ability by coaching the "Penn" " teams and geting into the game himself in and about Cape May. As every one - knows he can always furnish the goods whenever called upon in a ball game. Another of tne players on the team, . who is well known at Cape May is Blakeley. Biakeley originally plfeyed 1 on the U. of P. ball team and has been . coaching them ever since. To keep in practice be has been playing in or around Cape May [for many years and , is at all times right in the game. I Middletou is also an old "Penn" ball - playr who has been summering here for many years and can be counted up . on to hold down his position. ' Corkoran, the short stop, who c»n take the hottest liners off the bat aod at all times be relied upon to do the right thing, has been secured for Cape May. Corkoran has been playing short ' on the U. of P. team for three years. | He wil' be better recalled, however, . as being the best short stop that Court ■■ House has ever had. Last year he ' furnished a good deal of . the style ! playing which brought them the cham- ' pionship. These men are all compara- • tively well known to the local fans. The remainder of the train is made 1 up of fell -ws who are here for the ; first time and who, though not as yet well known, are making friends alteady oy their fine ball playing. , Cozens, wno will use all his skill to ■ hold Simpson is an expert catcher. Cozens is young and has got the making of a major league catcher in him. | He has not been lone known in amateur base ball. His first real ball playing was done this spring on the I Freshman team at the U. of P. Judd, who captafned the Penn team of 1907, D holding down first base. Judd is a six footer with a "reach" | and an "arm" which count so much [j in the makeuu of the initial bag man. I Drew Smiley is the little fellow who 1 j gobbles up the long drives in left field. 1 ! Drew is small in size, but .a large fac- | j tor in the playing of the team. This I spring he saved many a game by a ■ | well timed hit and with wonderful agility nabbed what looked like a safe . 1 bit. He was one of the strong points | , of the "Penn" team, both in the field t an on third. Brobaw, the lanky third baseman i ' who has received a large amount of his . • ball training at the U. of P., is ali ways death to anything that comes j within hia reach. The team on the ' ; i whole ia one which will bring Cape ' ' May before the base ball world in a very favorable manner. j j The schedule has been carefully ar- , ' j ranged and many of the best teams i.'of a semi-professional nature in the ] United States, the mecca of base ball, '{ I are on it, | The game today will probably be ( I I close and exciting and the best oie ( i that the local enthusiasts have yet had ( , | a chance to see. 1 Cape May played Chestnut Hill two . i games last year. In the first game j the local team were completely out- . | classed, while in the second game the I tables were turned around. The team that wears the Cape May insignia this 1 year should be able at least to make a » good showing.

ABOUT THE [ INQUIRER REGATTA : beautiful cups as prizes . Many Entries, Caps en View in Star and Wave Windows The magnificent prizes furnished by 1 the Inquirer for the Regatta tomor- , row have arrived and are now dis- , played in the large windows of the Star ■ and Wave office. There are four • small (?) cups, about a foot and a half in heighr, to be given to the winners ; of the motor boat class in Cape May. . Wildwood, Holly Beach and Ocean , City. These cups are about the handsomest and most imposing of any that : have ever been given fgr races of this [ class. In fact they are as large and as . handsome as the International cups. . Bailey, Banks, and Bidiiie, the Phila1 delphia jewelers, say that they are as ' • handsome af any thing of the kind . they have ever turned out. The cups 1 j i are of sterilng silver and are festooned with carefully wrought designs. For the cruiser class an appropriate 1 prize of a weather protected ball bear- 1 I ing compass is to be given. The com1 pass is completely enclosed and water . • proof. It has two plate glass windows ' which allow the user to consult it 1 without removing the casing. As it is one of the hardest things imaginable to get a light in a storm to see the . direction the boat is taking, a wind proof lamp is attached. This lamp is a part of the compass and cannot be 1 detached by any ockiug or jolting. I The rays from this lamp are cast in- ! . side tin casing on the face cf the com- : pass. For the pleasure launches, powerful f folding binoculars in handsome leather j cases, with a s'rap to carry them over the shoulder, is the prize. The cup exhibited for the grand t ' finale stands about two and a half feet | in height (actual measurement) from ] the ground. It is made of the finest , silver, a d is the greatest prize ever j 1 been offered in these waters. The boats which will nave a chance 1 to compete for this magnicfient cup will be the winners of the races at ; Cape May, Wlidwood. Holly Beach ■ and Ocean City. The winner of this also receives the title of champion of ' South Jersey. ' ■ Second. A few of the handicaps will | be changed to enable some of the racers whose ability was. misj edged to 1 make a better showing. | Third. The races Saturday consisted of three different events with e small 1 number in each. The distances were 1 all short and the races were over be- I 1 fore a great many of the spectators 1 knew that they had commenced. In 1 1 place of the three tomorrow there 1 j will be one race consisting of a quar-"} i ter mile. This is a good distance to j cause plenty of excittment and give 1 ' the spectators 1 good race. 1 Fourth. Saturday the swimming ] h;d no set time at which they < were to occur. Tomorrow they will be held immediately after the speed 1 power boat race and an official an- < nouncement will be made by mega- 1 phone.

FROM WtuNESDAY'S DAILY j The Summer School has two most in- j teresting features this year that were j not given last year. They are the] Laboratory work in Cooking and the Sketching class in connection with the | work in Art and Design. These | classes will be open to cottagers and - residents of Cape May and hotel guests I who are spending the month in Cape ' May. The High School Laboratory has ; been fitted with individual gas stores | and appliances that will enable each j , student to actually do the work taught. | The sketching class will do its work j in the morning beginning at 9 and con- ] . tinumg for an hour or two. Later ex- j . cursion for fie'd work will be organ- ' ized. Any one contemplating this j course should begin as early as possible | in order to get the introductory lesson. 1 Miss Martha Clough who has charge , of the work in Art and Design in the Summer School ia an artirt of some ' renown having received honorable mention far her work in a of number . exhibition in this country.

The most important is • the course in scientific cooking which j will be in charge of Miss Irene Eliz^- • beth McDenuott. The laboratory in the High cchool has been fitted up with ! I individual gas stores and tables and actual ccoking wiil be done in order to : show the application of the theories taught. It is one thing to be told how 1 10 broil a beef steak ana quite another 1 to serve the steak on the table proper1 ly coi ked. ! The waste and loss of the average American hy incompetent cooking and incompetent marketing of supplies for ■ the home would hr a few years pay • the national debt. Many "a girl begins 1 the management of a home with no - definite training, thinking that these homely duties can easily be learned, but experience has always been an I ! expensive teache.. Every hour spent I in Miss McDermott's class room wll I mean financial saving in the home of the- pupil. The course in cooking might be called the useful side of f .education. I The course in Art and Design is di1 rectly practical in serving to adorn . the home by teaching how to furnish. ' arrange and beautify it for the minimum of expense. Culture is becoming I more and more a part of American life and anything that tends to assist its I development is the test kind of^econ1 omy. "Miss Clough will also form 1 1 a sketching class in crayon and water ' 1 color, which will be open to the ladies : of the city and all cottagers. A BID EUCHRE PARTY Mrs. L. J. Deacon, on? of the most ' popular voung matrons of Cape May's summer set gave a card party to a large number of friends. The house ' was Beautifully festooned with floral decora- ions.
