Ci)e flij Hag SbMg Luw)- ; *uj Bans ScMiM it Arrangements are now about comd plete for the opening of the basket ball le season in Oape May, and tbe enthusiaata, who have been impatiently awaiting tbe first game will have their I- <iesires gratified. The opening ,, game will be played Monday evening, 1. November 22, at the Auditorium Hall, e against the Big Five, of Wildwood. As much rivalry always exists between d Cape May and Wildwood in all athletic contests, the opener promises to be a lively contest. d The Oape May nve made an excellent . record last winter for its initial season and will undoubtedly make a good j showing agains tbe strongest teams in South Jersey and Philadelphia tbia " winter. The management has an exjceptionaly promising assortment of material to select a. hard working team from, but will probably play the same lineup as last year in the game with Wildwood. , Manager Doerner has arranged an ') extensive schedule and will announce hia dates later. Games have already ' been secured with Big Five, of Wild'e wood ; Alpha, of Camden ; Woodside A. s ; A., of Bridgeton ; Deneri, of Philadelt j phia : Vineland and Millville. ^ The Deneri quintette, of PhiladelI phia. ^is undoubtedly one of the I strongest teams in Pennsylvania, and _ I tbe fact that it is captained by Lew ' Machado, will make the game doubly interesting for Cape May people. ! Machado was a pitcher and left fielder e on last summer's fast base ball team and made quite a hit with the fans here, being a reliable pitcher, hard hitter and speedy fielder, and will be a welcome visitor to Oape May. The prospects of many hard fought r contests are bright as the Cape May players are very enthusiastic and con- • fident of their ability to hold their own . with the best, and with proper support i • and encouragement by the home people. the anticipation of having a team 8 ranked among the best wiil become • a reality.
