May enjoyed the second new innova- [' tion in the athletic realm this year. ' This was in the form of a hard and _ well played game of hockey. The opposing sides were teams representing , the pick of the Senior and SophoI mores against the best of the girls in 5 the Junior and Freshmen classes. The f Sophomore team won by scoring three goals. Florence Bennett playing left inner starred throughout the game' i and personally gained the total num'1 ber of points. Katharine Bellangy, > ! Marie Gosling and Dorothy Palmer, 1 all, played a great field game for the t winners. - ] The Junior-Freshmen team followed the ball and launched many attacks i i that just fell shy of scores by the - strong forward line of the Seniors' Sophomore team on defense Elizabeth Campbell and Abbie Stratum . s played a wonderful game for the Juni ior-Freshmen teahi and were closely | pushed for honors by Catherine Cresr ; se and Johannah Bythewood. a I Everyone played well ami scarcity I of fouls was unusual for teams just ,, beginning to plav. Everybody should i boost this gamoPthat is probably the r most wholesome for girls and show real interest in the game by attendj ing the second game of the series at t Columbia Park on this Saturday- The f Junior-Freshmen team are resolved to win this game thereby tieing the ser- , ies for the championship of the high 3 schooLat one a piece. Next year it is hoped that we shall f be able to play some other county j teams and possibly a couple of team= s from outside. All boost hockey, it is a * real sport.

For the past few days state police have been scouring this end of the county in quest of a Ford car, saJd to be selling booze, it is operated by a man and woman and will stop oars of all descriptions along the highways, and , try to unload some of the vile stuff cheap. Several clues have been run down | during the past few days, but no trace of the culprits can be found. One day thi? week a young man, accompanied by a friend, were in Cape May Court House on Business, taking trip in a Ford car. While returning home they were stopped by the state pblice and the car searched, but no whiskey could be found. It is said the young man. was quite alarmed oy! sudden appearance of the police, j but as he was not "guilty, he was al-1 lowed to continue on to Cape May- ' So anyone owning a Ford, had better watch their sten in driving the as the police make no preference in searching a car if they have the least suspicion of law-breaking.

I Op Wednesday when the fire alarm I was sounded when Quidort's Hot Dog | Cafe on fire, many of the firefighters 'claimed that they were working in parts of the city where they * did not hear the fire bell. £ This is more than a serious matter K and should be taken up at once by the Commissioners. The Fire Siren could be attached to the Cape May Light A e Power Company'? plant where they e always have steam on the boilers. It 3 is understood that the fire alarm eys- I y tern in the city is not working in a s satisfactory manner and if this is true s,the city should see io it that it is in e | the best of shape- Fire could do more ! damage in an hour than it would take n 1 to replace our present system many e times over- Now let's keep after our_ city officials until they act in the' - matter, CLASSIFIED j ADVERTISING ■j ■ LOST - LOST — String of Pearls on Hughes e Street, Saturday evening, _ Dec. 2nd. - Reward if returned to Star' & Wave, e K-9-lt-300 LOST — Thanksgiving' morning Be5|tween West Cape May and Presbyterian Church, a mottled brown bead necklace, valued for sentiment.
