Side by ! , side they nut, holding hand* like I two young loVera, gazing in mute i ympathy and comniinserution into ! each others tearful eyes. I Nearhy ill lonely sorrowfulness .it Randolph Fogg, pule and wan, : hi.- hands- tremhling like aspen | The irrepressible Charles Sack, | -corned tho penitent's form- preferring a seat in the choir loft, ; from which point of advantage he I was able to watch the misery of his , i fellow prisoners. • 1 Nearby sat D. B. Mayhew, as | unconcerned as possible and appar- : I eiitly not in the remotest "degree i conscious of the fact that the Mayor I of the Boardwalk was after his i scalp. ' i Brother Maddock too had a seat • on the reprobate's bench, and sat ! I there gazing around, as if he were \ wondering when the band would | )>egin to play, a faint smile of angelic innocence upon his face, j "Doc" Hughes however, dis- i played a degree of daring an.l , cunning, that was positively astounding. The , charge against , this, incorrigible pharmacist- was that of selling candy illegally, and by the Saints, there he sat chew- j Ing up the evidence as fast as he could. Hopeless! It transpired that in all summonses had been served on niatpersons: D. B. Mayhew, D. J . Thornly Hughes, W. W. Maddock. Dr. William G. Abbott, and Dr.: How-aril T. Taylor, for selling candy on Sundfly- and Charles Sack, A R. Fogg and C. M. Camp- : bell for selling gasoline. The charge preferred against Mr. Mayhew was made by Jean 1 Nathan son; agali^t Dr. J. Thornley by" Helen Keraand; against W. W. Maddock by Edith Jacobs; | against Dr. Abbott, by Mrs. Helen Rehborn; against Dr. Taylor by! Mrs. Mamie letter; against the gasoline merchants by George I .otter. The nine - defendants were all present. Presently W. F! Shriver*' appeared carrying a bag, which]

- some say contained a sheaf uf pon- - derous law documents, which other • said contained some of the evf- ■ dence, und a third party claimed it a • contained a bottle of chloroform. a Mr. Shriver, accompanied by his c • legal advisor, George A. Bourgeois 1 • of Atlantic Gity- and Mr. J. Frank • ShellenliergeV disappeared behind ' the scenes. • Once the spectators caught a , glimpse if City Solicitor B-.iswell,! 1 i peeping worn liehind the wings, a ' * wicked gleam in hV eye which " .""presaged, "Sorhw-Ahmgi doinjr." I ' What transpired behind the < '' , scenes ,the world may never learn, i could nut have been the audience • that stopped the play; for the wus filled to its utmost ca- 1 - parity, arid the box receipts must 0 - been highly satisfactory. It " s cannot lie that /the promoters of * r the performance^ could Wave antic-! - pa ted such a fiasco, for none of | the spectators had been given h i * t:"n in ticket" as mey do at a bare 1 1 ball game, in case peraducnture I " - ; that inclement weather stopped the * 1 game. f Mr. and Mrs. George Lotter v.ete 1 in court- also some other young - ladies, those who presumably 'had I determined to convert "Doc" ' t Hughes and his brother pharma- " t cists, from the error of their reps rebate ways. Some job! 1 Re that as it may, presently the 1 I' ^ 1 J

krtain rang up and Justice of the J I ace Divine appeared before the! I j footiighte. - \ | j Alas! and' alack! Justice Dcvine' j came only to announce4, that the cases were dismissed, inasmuch, as . he had no jurisdiction to- try cases, preferred under a city -ordinance. ■ I The disappointment was excruialing. The look upon the coun- J i ; tenances of some of the spectators ! * [was pitiful to behold, especially ' the ladies. ^ • - j ' It was as much as Dr. Abbott 1 ' , could do, to prevent "Do:" Hughes'' ; doing the Highland fling. !' Now 4hese incorrigible drug ' , merchants will drift into their evil ways again- while the gas dis- C pernors, will, like Peck'- Bad Boy,!1 worser and worse,- than ever. , William F. Shriver took the bag home agai", without divulging the, secret of its contents. Rumors strange and mysterious are in whispered circulation. One story is to the effect that the ' will be taken to a higher' tribunal.' At the close of the previous pro- 1 ceedings, when Messrs. Shriver and •' Shellenherger occupied the pent- 1 i tents' form (?), Mr. Shellenl*rger; ' ] through his counsel applied for i * j against the nine to Po- I : iice Justice Ware. Justice Ware c [ refused, offering us a reason that ii v nuld be h-u^JIv fitting for him i to do so, an 1 mUdjifl tliem to apply to another '"notice. Now someone has suggested that since the accused U|k>ii this occasion numbered nine husky they should constitute themselves into a baseball team. The ! Gusocandy Giants. The hint Is given by someone who knows that Doc Hughes has i been a fairly creditable mound i artist. Dr. Abbott on the first sack, Charles Sack at short, May- . hew on the second slab, and Fogg J in the center garden would make a ' . iorn.idabi* combination. I i'e that as it may, ami let what , transpires transpire- the spectators who thronged the Court House on Monday evening are still humming and whistling to old familiar ro- , frain "Where are the nine?" 1

i of Initiative, and physical stamina ^ the individual- and the co-ope raitivAipBti in the teamsOne of the Ration's greatest i assets had been the development of the sporting instinct, while the in self-abnegation to the advantage of the team- taught in -baseball, were of incalculable worth in the making of character. ' I)r- Althouse ran through the jjf cherished memoriesr and nhmed a glowing roster of athletes who had become preminnt in-rear-ious other deparbpents of life. He recalled Bill KdWaltds of Princeton, Josiah Calvin, MacCracken, Teil of Yale, Bill Roper of Prin--sccton, and last but not least tho great Theodore Roosevelt of Har- " van!. Summarizing his argument that sports are a national asset of inestimable value- Dr. Althouse said, "Take away our games- and you will remove our one great safety - value, and the end might be too tragic to contemplate. Athletics , offer to our youth the one safe out ' for superfluous energy, which without sports, might be directed j* to baser purposes and ends." Two other notable athletes were introduced, Charles Keinath, former. captain of tip Pennsylvania Champion basket-hall team, and Ernie Cozens, former star .and . now manager of athletics at- the 1 University of Pennsylvania.
