OCEAN CITY • F0REFLUSHING !- MANAGER BATTEN ANXIOUS TO E SCHEDULE GAME WITH THE UPCOAST CLUB BUT SATISFACTORY f- FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE. That the Ocean City baaeball club »• management is foreflnshing is the a seer. 1- tion of Manager George Batten of the >f Cape May Collegians, when they say y that the local club is scared of Ocean if City. "Hie local boys have played about a g score 01 games out of which only threo le were lost . That is a pretty good record y and if the Ocean City Club can equal it they would have long ago let th« world know it. Cape May is not only willing but anxd ious to cross bats with the boys up tha t coast but a satisfactory financial arrangement must be .made first. Manager g Batten nor the members of the club do - not want the Ocean City ball park, e grandstand, scoreboard or any of their - lifeguards as was reported in one of ., their pagers. All they want is a just b treatment ~hi connection with tie finane games. In former years Cape May's avs erage receipts with Ocean City was $44. e According to Manager D. C. Calhoun, 1 of Ocean City, the latter's receipts wen a $75 per game. Expenses of both teams e were the same. I Manager Batten wants an equal dirtst ion of the gate receipts but Ocean City f wants to give a guarantee of $50 which * she would demand ' when playing her* - and which amount is in excess of the " - receipts received in the majority of the t game#. Manager Batten claims that Ocean - City is foreflushing and that they an quitters. It was suggested that the $15 fund w hich was potted by the Ocean (Sty Club for any team which would defeat their club has been withdrawn because of the probability of a game with Cape May. We would like to see a game between the two clubs and we would put our up on the locals . If there are to , 'be any games between (he two clubs, ' Ocean City must speak up as the only I I dates open at this time are August 12, I 13. and 14.
