The Sea Isle City Times on March 20th published an article about a bunch ot Oape May fellows who have sore heads over a defeat which they received at Sea Isle on Wednesday last. This should never hare been applied to our local boya, instead the bandages should have been used on their opponents heads as they have beeen aching since the series first began. The way in which they speak of the overwhelming defeat our local boys handed to them on the home floor expresses their true sentiments of sportsmanship. The "dirty practice and con temp table piece of business' that they accuse us of, it appears is over Becker representing Oape May. If in your way of thinking. Sea Isle, an association contesting for the championship of South Jersey, should hold itself to a strictly local team, why don't you? How many strictly local boys can you boast of, — two? Be sports. Take defeat in a clean, sporty way, instead of laying it to "dirty practices." You'd he surprised how much more you'll enjoy it.
