. Cape May Takes Second of Series j " RETURN COMPLIMENT FOR TUES- j | DAY'S DEFEAT. i Ocean City Never Had a Look In— Cape May Hit Hard and In BunchesCo rem Hits For Home Jbu — Stites Keeps Safeties Wen Scattered — Score ! 11 to 3. Andy BoswelTe Ocean City team play- ■ ed the second game of the series with • the Cape May Collegians at Columbia Park, Wednesday afternoon, and were treated to a stinging defeat, while 1 Cape May received much solace and com- ■ fort by the easy manner that they reversed the downfall of the day previous 1 into a glorious triumph yesterday. The ■ inferior quality of ball put up by Ocean City was emphatic, and compared with 1 the snappy exhibition given by Cape May, they looked like a lot of BushSmiley appeared in the stellar role in the field. sharp UnnAIiwg of ground 1 hits, both slow and fast ones, and the 1 way he pulled down a hard drive by i Sweeney in the sixth were fielding stunts worth witnessing. Lovdand also con1 tributed with several classy stops, while ■ Wood and Diebert figured with good 1 1 catches in the outfield. 1 Flick Stites did duty in the center of the diamond for Cape May and for - 1 six innings had them, helpless unSer the - spell, when he eased up and aUowed them to connect for a few safe ones and con sequently three scores were obtained by the visitors. The hitherto successful Yates was the slab artist for Ocean City, but he showed little class and poor control in yesterdsy's game. Yates is Ocean City's" star twirler, and Boswell banked on , winning this game, but the manner in which the Cape May boys straightened out his curves made the defeat ad- . ministered all the more bitter. Cape got fourteen clean hits, including home run over left field fence, unfurled by Ernie Cozens, and two cush- ^ ion dirves by Wood and Sattizahn. ( did execution with the bat ^ and the way they had Ocean City chasleather was a shame. Cape May made the circuit in five dif- ^ ferent innings, most the runs being the result of consistent stick work, the hits WK.11 bunched, although wildness by ' coupled with several errors, aided . in the run getting. Cape May scored two in the first, four in the second, one in ' the fourth, three in the fifth and one'in ' the sixth. Stites kept Ocean City blanked until the seventh, when lie started, sticking ^ them straight over. In this inning they scored two runs on three singles and a ' sacrifice. In the ninth they secured one Score 11 to 3. j •CAPE MAY. po. a. e. : ss 1 2 0 3 0 j t Aldendifer, 2b, 4 1 2 2 Oil Wood, If, 1 2 1 0 0 ci 1 2 1 0 0 t c „ 1 2 7 1 0 c Hall, rf. 0 1 0 0 0 1 p. 1 2 0 3 0 I Cozens, lb 2 2 13 0 Oil 3b 0 0 3 3 0 1 Totals: 11 14 27 12 0 < OCEAN CITY. r. h. po. o. e. 1 cf 1 1 1 0 0 1 3b 1 1 1 3 12 Geiz, lb 0 1 5 0 0 1 lb v ...... .0 8 2 0 1 1 If, ..0 1 2 0 0 2b .0 1 1 1 0 ' -Beck, if. m.i..O 0 0 I 1 1 Fahra, rf, 2b ;..0 0 1 1 0 ' c 0 0 10 1 0 • Yates, p Ll J 1 2 0 > | Totals: 3 9 24 8 3 1 May 2 4013100 x— 11 ' Ocean City 0 0000020 1— 3 • Earned runs — Cape May 6; Ocean City t Stolen bases — Sattizahn. ^ Two-base hits — Sattizahn, Wood, 1 Home runs — Cozens. ^ Sacrifice hits — Wood, Smiley,.

At the Indianapolis Moter Speedway on Decoration Day last, Michelin Tires made a most remarkable record for sustained speed and endurance. During tbe three days' meet there were twentyeight separate contest. Of these Michelin Tires won twenty-five. It is believed that this record for consistent work has never been equalled. The contest of greatest importance from the point of View of tire durability was Saturday's 200-Mile Race for the $10,000 Wheeler &. Schebler Trophy. In this contest Michedins were, the equipment of the cars that finished first, second, third . and The contest of second importance in the matter of distance and which sup- ! plied aditional proof of the remarkable ; durability of Michelin Tire9, ' was the [ 100-Mile Presto-Lite Trophy Race, which I took place last Friday. In this event Tires were the equipment of | j the cars that finished first, second, third, fourth and fifth. . Of lesser importance, because of its shorter distance, was the Remy Brassard j contest on Monday. Michelin Tires i were again to the front "^sj Usual," finishing first, 'second and third. | In this contest all records were broken for distances from thirty to fifty miles. In considering the question of tire durability the condition of the two-and-a-lialf-mile speedway at Indianapolis must be taken, into consideration. The surface is much better than it was last year from the point of view of speed, it is even more wearing on pneuIn addition to the fine performance at Michelin Tires achied remarkable records at the Atlanta Motordrome on May 5th, 6th, and 7th, and at the Los Angeles Speedway, where a whole week of automobile racing took place early in April. The car that won the magnificent Atlanta .Tropl|V covered the whole 200 miles on one set of Michelin Tires, and all but three of the other fifteen contests were won on Michelins. At Los Angeles twelve new world's records were made on Michelin adding another series to the long of recent Michelin victories. Michelin tires are sold in Cape by F. S. WHERE AWAY?

it, bers, wearing the badges of their order, j -<! were escorted to the Flower Room, on m Wildwood Pier. The ordinary routine of business was lie attended to, speeches were made by prominent members and delegates from re other counties. ^ One of the National officers, Senator i- Gaunt, was present and gave an interic esting talk. Several State officers were iy present, nmong them Flora, in the per sonage of Mrs. Lillie Rawley, of Berlin, N. J., who entertained the audience with some gems of song, which were greatly 0 j enjoyed. Mrs. Albert Matthews acted as her accompanist. Mr. Martindale spoke enthusiastically upon the characteristics of Wildwood, and Mr. Henry Wbeaton welcomed the Grange as Mayor of Anglesea. A vote 0 of thanks by the Grange was responded 0 to by Mr. Ottens, when all were escorted — to the festal board and hugely enjoyed tbe feast prepared. Tbe scane was pictured and the. memory of the day will e. make a lasting imprint on tbe minds of those present. 1 0 WHOSE SAY-SO IS BE8T? With nearly all medicines put up for 0 sale through- druggists, one has to take the maker's say-so alone as to their curative value. Of course, such tesumony is not that of a disinterested party ' and accordingly is not to be given the - same credit as if written from disinter- : ested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, however, form r striking exception to ' this rule. Their claims to be the confldence of invalids does not solely rest upon their maker's say so or praise. Their ' ingredients are matters of public know]- 1 edge, being printed on each separate bot- 1 ^ tie wrapper. Thus invalid suflerers are ' taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have writ ten enough to fill volumes in praise of ' tbe curative value of the several ingreJ" dients entering into these well-knoown ' 18 medicines. Amongst these writers we find such lC medical lights as Prof. Finley Ellingwoed, M. D., of Bennet Medical College, ' Chicago; Prof. Hale of the same city; d Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D.', late of ; 8 Cincinnati, Ohio; Prof. John King, M. D., late of Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. G rover Coc, - '' of New York; Dr. Bartbolow, of Jeffer 8 son Medical College, of Pa., and scorer i •r of others equally eminent.
