(/ THE BASKET BALL FLOUR (Alphas, Champions of Camden League, Trimmed by Cape May A. A. S Alpha A. A., ;of Uamden, had a lifeaized crimp thrown [into their aspirations of basket ball champions of 8outh S Jersey, at Excelsior Rink last Saturday night. Incidentally, Oape May immensely ^strengthened their ^ claims to the coveted post of honor. The contest was exciting and full of rapid work and the banner crowd of the season was given many opportunities « to cheer violently at the determined I- manner the teams performed. . The. Alphas are undoubtedly a moet fi formidable bunch of basket ball artiste i- and.the game.they.putup.was firat.claa* '• but they.didn' t have" anything on Cape e A. They played several X games here" last season and found - the, going. rather .soft, but on this occasion .they bumped into a few obstacles that gave them a severe jolt. They had. previously sent work that ■e they had not lost a game this season n and were '.coming down with .the ostensible , purpose of .making Oape May take a back seat, but like the Missounans, the Oape May aggregation ~ had to ba shown, and at the end of the i contest were tauntingly monopolizing seats in the grand stand, .front row f center, while the boastful but cresty fallen Alphas were forced into retlrel_ ment and were perched disconsolately e on the far section of the bleachers. • In the first period honors were about ; even, Oape May leading at the tap of bell 6 to 4. Both teams were playing at a rapid pace, passing and dribbling cleverly, and displayed brilliant floor a work, but excellent guarding kept I the scoring down. Neither team r was able to negotiate goals suo- ' ceesfally, the spnere tantalizingly J refusing to connect with the net, and - the crowd remembering Alpha's past exploits experienced many anxious 9 moments during the half. After the intermisaion Oape May took a substantial brace and chased • the shooting boodoo. They annexed three field goals of the oircus order in quick succession after which the crowd began to feel more at ease. Alpha, then got busy and obtained a couple of the same kind, and during the remainder of the half it was a neck and neck race, including a series of fast plays, coupled with good. team ' work by both fives. The final count • was 18 to 14 with the Oape May team carrying the heavy end. - Hines, of the High School team, again substituted for Mennis, and played in excellent style, and to bis . splendid work belongs a'good portion of the glory. He led the team in shooting having three to his credit. Vanzant and Benckert two each. Hines • made a bit with the crowd by his splendid work In the past two games, and • his good showing will undoubtedly secure him a regular bertA on the team. .

This f promises to be an exciting contest 1 as Cape May is anxious to redeem themselves for the defeat Westville f is composed mostly of U. of P. players i and their lineup will contain the fol- - lowing players : Saxe, considered the strongest man on the U. of P. 'Vanity 1 team ; Turner, Keough and Journett, 1 9 of the Freshmen team ; and Diamond, I of Brown Preparatory School. < i The Alpha team are very anxious for another try at the local five and 1 9 will very likely be given a game soon. : ' A O.

( DELEGATION ' VISITS GOVERNOR : CIUNTY'S CITIZENS UNITE ' Ask Governor to Continue Inlaid ! Waterway Work, aid | Request is Gristed 9 Fifty or more of the tprominent citi9 zens and business .men of Oape May 3 Oounty .called (upon., Governor John Franklin Fort. on Tuesday to urge the 1 continuance of the waterway from the 9 point at which work waa last stopped • and. consecutive work until channel is 9 completed. Senator Hand introduced 3 the delegation pleasantly and assured 3 the Governor that ho would be respon9 sible for these, his constituents, and ■ oould assure the Governor that they • worthily .represented all of Cape May 1 Oounty. 1 u J-. Thompson Baker, former .Mayor • and.one.of.the founder s^of Wildwood, 8 made.a strong and effective arg.muit, 1 declaring that the continuance of the 1 work where it is now stopped, at the 9 bridge to Five Mile Beach, would f serve more persons and become more ' effective than a change of operation - to any other section of the waterway. - He said it was throwing money away ' to leave .this ^necessary .connection and start work elsewheie. 1 Peter.Sbields, ^of.Oape May, and H. 1 S. Risley, of Stone Harbor, and Mayor 1 1 L. M. Urease, of Ocean City, also were I earnest advocates of the plan, f Engineer Frank Sherman, of the In- 1 1 land Waterway Department, was called 1 in and ..Governor Fort asked him as to ' the financial aspect of the situation. 1 ' He said that, of the $40,000 available, ' the contract for dredging.Graasy Bay ; and Oedar Bonnet amounted to $18,000, 1 leaving $22,000 to be contracted for. 1 The Governor finally decided that the department should immediately advertise for bida for the work desired, the • money to be taken .from the available J fund, as suggested, and that further i Atlantic (Oounty work be held in , abeyance pending the supplemental ' appropriation bill, which probably will | contain a liberal allowance for the ; nec jssary contract. !
