^Sunday Trading Regulations Observed on BoardwalkRev. Voegelin Scores Violators MAYOR JOSEPH G. CHAMPION HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED ON 1 STAND TAKEN— MAYOR ON WATCH IN PERSON ON !. BOARDWALK SUNDAY \ i SOLICITOR BOSWELL WARNED MERCHANTS j REV. CHAS. K. N. VOEGELIN DENOUNCES LAW BREAKING AND j URGES PEOPLE TO UPHOLD MAYOR CHAMPION AND j| SOLICITOR BOSWELL I.N THE FIGHT I

To all indications, the merchants of the Boardwalk, who have manifested : more than an inelinatjft to set the city laws, regulating Sunday trading, • in defiance, thought it wiser to take i heed of City Solicitor Boswell'a warn- i ing; convinced that Mayor Champion 1 and his colleagues on the administra- ' tion meant business .and had done ^ with camouflage and subterfuge. ' The following letter was sent out : from the City Solictor's office: Dear Sir; — From the police do- , partment in formation has been . furnished this office to the effect ; that you violated the Sunday ■ Ordinance. Feeling that if there was such i violation it was not with intent, ' I do not desire to precced because of : the violation until I can ascertain i more fully. If there should he violation on i next Sunday it will tie conclusive 1 of your intent Sunday, consequent- 1 ly, a violation next Sunday reported to me will take the course ' of violation not only for next Sun- • day but of last Sunday. ' Yours very truly, ANDREW C. ^OSWELL.^-., Out of common courtesy to others, presumably innocent of offence, Mr. Boswell very naturally sent the letter I only to such persons, as had been reported guilty of violation. Sunday, Mayor Joseph G. Champion ' was on the spot in person watcfflhg developments. Mayor Champion is re- ! ] ported to have said, there had been a j 100 per cent improvement on Sunday, to which all who visited . the Board- , walk agreed. Congratulations were showered up- '■ on the Mayor by both residents and . visitors. Andrew C. Boswell is in . the flght with the Mayor. Both favor all possible latitude within the bounds . of decency, but open defiance of the law will not be tolerated. , Of this Mayor Joseph G, Champion . and the city authorities can lie assur- i ed; public sentiment Js solid behind them .and they can rely upon the undivided allegiance of the vast majority of the people. In the attitude they have adopted relative to the controversy. The majority constituting the population of Ocean City, resident and summer vacationists, came here to escape the Sunday desecration, some I

f i merchants 'apparently are desirous of 1 introducing here. . j Sunday, the Rev. Chas. F. Voegelin ( , came out in u manly two-fisted man- ; ; ner, in defence of Sabbath obcsrvauce, ; - , nd the stand the-city authorities, have : i taken. Rev. Voeglin's subject was - ] "Reverenco." i Referring to the American Sabbath, the preacher said:*'Wc formerly had ( a Sabbath. We have substituted in ; its place those splendid aids to the development of the moral and spirit- j' ' ual in man, the. Sunday Theatre, the!. 1 so-called Sunday Sacred Concert. the!( ' : Sunday night card and dancing party, ! ' the Sunday carnival of sport ami rice, j. — our Holy Day has degenerated into hi. i disgusting holiday." • ] I Speaking of the wave of material- i f j ism, what seems to have swamped | ( I I and deluged, the sentiments which ' formed the bulwark of American civ- ( , i fixation, Rev. Voegelin quoted a frag- ' » ment from the commencement address, ! , . delivered at Mount Union College. ! ! . "For more than the life time of mose j [. of us. the chill winds of materialism j , . Ihnve lieen blowing across Western! ciriliza'ion. Its sjii ritual fires have], hefa hanked, if not Burned out" -j Again the preacher quoted from one ■ ■ .of the public orations of the. late ex/L . President Roosevelt. "There are doc-\ , trine* abroad in the land, which if ; ! not controverteii and overcome, may . lead to the -fall of this great country. ( If we are to exist as a nation, we. must lie law abiding. On the law, tie- ■ j ''ponds our society. Destroy the law, ; * | and . we go back to slavery, rapine " and pillage, when the strong destroys ' Rex. Voegelin very effectively lllus- j ' t rated the truth of the foregoing! .statement, with exceutt from the . - pages of his>»T7 and "We must , ^ guard jsjil " <m* sejondary 1 things oV'urc. uml allowing itcOtidr rate men, tosriestroy our fundamental,, " and lienefldent laws." 5 Rev. Voegelin closed jlis stirring;, denunciation of lawlessness, and his), t strong appeal for the loyal support,, s of every Christian citizen, to the dty ; j I authorities in their efforts to main-!, - tain the Sabbathic traditions of Ocean ' , - City, -by quoting the most beautiful j , y words, which ever fell from the!. - honeyed line of Oliver Wendall c Holmes: "There is a little plant called , il reverence in the corner of my soul's / - garden, called reverence, that I like to lehave watered once a week."

TITANIC STRUGGLE— ; REALTORS VS. FISH < BROTHERS DARBY EXPERIENCE , THRILLS AND SENSATIONS ON BAY . The two populaf realtors, Roy E. , Darby and Bertram M. Darby, ex- ; pcrienced some thrills and startling, sensations, while out fishing this week , in the Rainbow Channel. Near about ten o'dock at night, , , they launched their boat, having pro- \ rided sufficient bait to dean out thci' ocean. The night was ideal for good sport, ! and good sports. Not a ripple dis- ' turbed the surface of the water, as they cast out their lines, and mur- ' mured the fisherman's incantation "for ' luck. Presently Roy got a strike: or ; rather it was a thunderbolt, and the i i licginning of a titanic struggle. Roy i began to pull in, and It seemed to him he^was pulling the bottom of the chanVisions of a huge yd rum, tipping ; #■

I the beam at no less than 1000 pounds, iluuted before' their mental vision; and [ toir it not abroad, three buttons flew like shots from sl gun off Roy's vest, due to undue expansion of the chestal Tl^e presence of Bert in' the boat, however, helped him to retain a meas.urc of mental cquilibrum, and carry * on his share in the fight with true ■ J angling gamevness. r. Round and rftund the oceanic mon- 1 : .-tor cavorted, dragging line, boat, and ; boatmen, at his *el|r Finally they * I succeeded in gaining Rainbow Island, j j and benching the catch. ' i There it was found to have been no drum, but n giant stingray. Yes sir, * Roy Darby got "stung'1 by a stingray, i The conflict lasted over an hour, and . exercised all the skill and endurance r of the fishermen. The monster measured about three r feet across, and carried an ugly look- j ;ling spear, pear the suburban end of ; trolley line. i It was good sport, and the realtors - found it almost as exciting as trying to sell a house to a Philadelphia lawr yer.

The host of friends and admirers whom C. Eugene Darby may claim in the city of Ocean City, will be de- ! lighted to learn be has passed with flying colors, the requirements of the! State Medical Board examination, and * is therefore qualified to practice medicine in the State of New Jersey . "Gene" Darby, as he is populariy known, and affectionately named, i# a graduate of the Ocean City High ■ School, and his subsequent career re- ! fleets infinite credit, upon his old school, and the members of the fac- , ulty. His success should fire the imagination and enthusiasm of other boys, . now in school to emulate his example. His graduation at the local High ( SchdSl, was followed by greater scholastic honors, when he graduated from the Hannimann Medical College, Phil-' adelphia. Then came thirteen months intern- ] ship at the Metropolitan Hoipltol, ; New York, where he gained most val- i uablc experience, and added daily to his store of medical knowledge, land ! the noble art of healing. C. Eugene Darby has since qualifying, acanWi ja position on the hospital staff of real- i dent physicians, for a period at aix i months, at the Metropolitan Hospital, New York. / | Further plans have not yet matured, j Upon one thing however, his friends ( are agreed, that a young man of his; mental calibre and studious habits, of his genial disposition and unfin- 1 'peachable moral character, will do far ; in his profession.

: contractors stand , on carpet before i ' city commissioners ; ' CITY FATHERS INVESTIGATE , LIGHTING A"ND GARBAGE f I COMPLAINTS . [ Stress and urgency of business compelled the City Commissioners to f work overtime, without overtime pay, on Monday last j The work of carrying on the administration, of a municipality of the character of Ocean City is no sinecure; the rapid growth and expansion of the city, has inundated the City \ Hall with problems and difficulties. Within the last month Or so, the 1 City Commissioners have been stormed from every angle, with complaints about the collection of trash and garb- f I age. T. Lee Adams^-public health offi- ' ' cer, also called tjfe attention of the City Solons to Qk conditions prevail- J ) The Board jtst City Commissioners J were not disposed to be unduly harsh. ,The number of complaints received s ! made it compulsory upon | v them to summon the contractor, to ex- ' " plain why the Commissioners should " » not take the legal steps necessary, to r icancel all agreements with them relay' | tive to the removal of trash ami g y&f- ' ' age. The Commissioners made uquite ■' ^ clear, that while they were prepared ' to consider an reasonable excuse, for • the palpable neglect on the part of the • i contractors to live up to the terms of J' their contract, they were determined j immediate emendations, and e ■ that the city should^not run the risks c of an epidemic,' through the accumula- ' f j" tion of refuse. s The Commissioners also expressed l: J themselves as very unsatisfied with } ' conditions prevailing at the dump. ° ^ Complaints had been received of - places, from which garbage had not ® ' been collecteii for weeks at the time. ' " Others had been driven to throw their ' garbage into vacant lot# to the s danger of public health. . According to the schedule of the r , contract, garbage should be collected . '■ from the center of the dty every day; '"J ' remoter places less frequently. J [ In answer to the Mayor Joseph G. f Champion and his colleagues, the contractor, Edward S. Graham, of Phila- \ 1 delphia, through his representative, f .' r. Soby , both of whom were present, 1 . stated that the dty was new on sched- . ule, relative to the collection of trash I . and garbage. v One of the most reliable and experienced men in the dty of Philadelphia ' in charge, and he assured the Commissioners they would have no, further occasion for complaint. The ! i J man previously in charge had sadly I disappointed them, having disregarded ' all instructions, and the schedule un- 1 [ der which he should have conducted " operations. ' [ ! ' In defence of the contractors, T. Lee Adams, public health officer, re- 1 B ported that conditions had greatly im- , ; proved since Thursday of last week, j ' in some instances however, the pub- j < T lie themselves were to blame, for des- " ■ pite the fact that each household had ' • received a card of instructions con- I earning the proper disposal of trash ' . and garbage, people would persist in ' 'l placing it out on the sidewalk, with nothing to prevent it from being ' blown broadcast over the streets. < . Later in the day, the City Commis- : ' " sioners, and the garblge contractors l . met in conference, j The Commissioners were disposed " to give Mr. Graham an opporunity to 1 improve the service, before taking : n drastic action. It was understood ' 1 however, that he should erect "a fence around the dump on Bay Avenue, and 'i " make other improvements immedi- i • ately. *; The City Engineer, W. H. Collison, 1 drew the attention sf the Board of Commissioners to the fact that sev- ■ ; oral contracts had exceeded the time : limit. Among the nunfber named, were the improvements op Asbury Avenue, the approaches to the Boardwalk, anil 1 the repair of the bulkhead at FiftyFirst Street A member from the vicinity appearP.ed before the Board of Commissioners r and reported that the hole in the ■ 1 bulkhead was increasing rapidly in isize, and causing1 great depreciation in S the saleable value of the property contiguous. Later in the evening, the contraci tors in question w ere summoned to j tors in question summoned 10 i

a appear before the Board of Commis-; a sioners. " -I H. L. Smith, of the Porter-Smith i h Company, who have the contract for e ! improvements on Asbury Avenue, ' d stated they were pushing the work ' - on with all the expedition possible, j ! and that it was proposed to lay down i y the asphalt during this week. He a further added Mr. Porter had assured j h him, the work on the gutters would J !- 1 be completed in the near future. I d J. P. Fox, who has the contract for,' ,the repair of the bulkhead complained j ■ of, together with other emergency! f- ! work, informed the Commissioners he I ',,had failed to comply with time con- ' !■ ditions of his contract through .lack ( h i of men. He promised the work would , i- lie immediately taken in hand, n Mayor Joseph G. Champion voiced; I- the sentiments of the Board of Commissioners, when he stated their i- patience was at an end. The Commisl.i sioners were the victims of censure, I- i and complaint, and were determined a the work should be completed as soon d : as possible. « Complaints had also been received i lialalisi to the gas lights op the t-iati— U of Couth Ocean City. One x | statement was to the effect that there I, had been no lights there since Friday, i another placed ten days as the duralotion of darkness.

Johnson, j should be restored to the condition il ji. . before July 4th. ' t I It will lie remembered, that in re- ; r • sponse to the urgent and insistent de- | v 1 mamls of the public, the city authori- t Tibs undertook to widen and safeguard 1 ' the Boardwalk at the aforementioned r P'aec- .

Dr. Handler's portrayal of the great ! I Babylonian /feast, when the Hand of I i Omnipotence appeared writing the I p . fate of thq Kingdom upon the wall, i i was intensely dramatic, t Next Sunday morning, in continuI'ance of the course, Dr. Handley will - as his subject, "The Silver King-;, dom of Persia, or God's calling of , : Cyrus, to emancipate the Jews." f The discourse will cover the period j . of history, which Lord Macauley dest Ignatcd us the "Iliad of Hebrew Hiss tory." :, For the evening. Dr. Handley 'JSs il elected to discuss "The Pros and Con* ' - of Evolution." The time is unquestionably oppor- - tunc for such a discourse, from a s strong evangelical mind.

The Ocean City Fishing Cluh Holds Annual Casting Tourney World Champion Participates UNDAUNTED BY INCLEMENT WEATH^RrMANY CELEBRATED FIN HUNTERS EXHIBIT PHENOMENAL SKILL WITH ROD. REEL AND LINE DR. J. W. PINKHAM, CLUB CHAMPION BOYS CASTING TOURNAMENT NEXT SATURDAY, SIXTH STREET AND BOARDWALK— 18 VALUABLE PRIZES— ALL BOYS UNDER SIXTEEN ELIGIBLE— TWO EVENTS— NO ENTRANCE FEES

Inclement weather, a stiff north I I easterly wind blowing, uiui rain pour- j ing, somewhat marfed the interest ' ; and pleasure which would have in- ; ] evitably attended, the Ninth Annual 4 of the Ocean City Fishing 1 IClub. < I Neither the nor'easter nor the raN. j however, could dampeji the anior of i J ! the contestants. Each event was car- ; rictl out to a logical conclusion, with I wonderful demonstrations of skill in ; « the science of casting, Even to "the unitiated the tourna- i 1 ment was a fascinating study, watch- \ ! i.ig the pose and poise of the respec- t , tive competitors, antl discriminating 1 one and another, in their methods of manipulating rod antl reel.'r The damp played havoc wifh the;; lines, and in consequence no records ( ! ere broken, Rather lines were brok-. r i in abundance, to the discomfiture ; 1 of the competitors. This must be said ( , of all who (participated in the various i I events; if/ they broke no records in I 'castituj^fney certainly broke all rec- ; ortls/ Tn patience and perseverance, , I leaning old Job who is supposed to ■uKuve been an incarnation of those par- j < ticular virtues, many miles behind in j t i the race. 1 1 ! Harold G. Lentz, who holds the i world's championship for casting, with i record of 464 feet, was a positive;* martyr to breaks, the frequency with it which his line broke being accountable j 1 for the fact, that he failed to capture!' more of the coveted prizes. ! < His style of casting however, was1* study: without any apparent strain; ( or exertion, a sharp decisive jerk of j I the rod sent the line whirling through 1 1 the air. H Dr. John W. Pinkham, was declared i I I with ncdamation the club champion i • ;for the year 1922. I Fortune favored the genial Doctor; ; i , but sheer skill in the art won the ; l;nt»ch coveted honor. His exhibition m r;of casting was in every respect a fln-fl ished performance. J Each event consistcil of three )■ rlasscs. The method of classification, 1 1 known as the percentage basis of clas- ,' - ' sification, is cleverly conceived. The ; cast of five is taken as the;: basis, estimated as 100 per cent. That j i comprises Class A. Class B. takes 80 ; i > ; per cent, and Class C, 60 per cent. ' • Each competitor therefore does not i : at the commencement into which ' i t class he will appear, his classification \ ■ depending ||pon his luck, and skill in ' < i the events. Prof. W. Ward Beam, acted in the j i capacity of announcer with aP _ his r usual ability and aplomb.
