I This year finds Ocean City mak 1 ing enormous strides forward in | ' the promotion of athletics, and no ' small credit is due to Murdo M ir- 1 Kenxic, J. 3- Thomas, and their co- j workers comprising the Athletic ' Association I1 By their initiative and enterprise | . • Ocean City is now in possession of j a Ball Park, which wher. completed j will be second to none on the coast. The grounds are ample for fur- 1 ther development into a tinder j track, and facilities for other forms j of sport.

Robert Maxwell, it will be remembered was for years a the sports editor, upon the staff of ii the Evening Public Ledger. e In his opening felicitous re- i murks, the toastmaster stated that < ! the Association, was attempting to > place Oceah City on the map ef t I athletics. , In that he believed they were I I performing a service not only to i the city, but to the nation; for ' nothing could produce a finer spec- ' | ! of manhood and womanhood " . 1 than athletics. The first speaker of the evening ; ; j George Carts right, whom the j toastmaster introduced, as Fresi- : dent of the Philadelphia Baseball f j Association. ' Having been . associated with • i sports for many years, Mr. Cart- - i w right could draw from his remr j iniscences- a host of amusing anee- j s dotes, which kept his audience con- j vulscd with laughterThe City of Philadelphia, Mr. r Thomas informed his hearers, is - en rapport with twilight baseball. ( h At the present time there are no etess than twenty teams in Philadel

devoted to twilight ball, and , aggregate attfffdfthce at these | games during the months of July and August- reached the astound- j of between 80,000 and 10,- ' The aggregate salaries of the twenty teams amounted to between S40JJ00 and $50,000 a month. Fifteen to twenty thousand people were frequently seen watch- 1 a ga^j p | At the close of this interesting address r~Mr. Thomas began to < the different members' constituting the Ocean City Collegteams, prefacing each intro-j duetion with some witty remark, j which clearly indicated his affec-l tion for the boysWhereupon the toastmaster in-; i reduced a yohng man of internat- ! i fame, John B.

Hisj address was brimful or humor, and 1 amusing recollections. Mr. Kelly felicitated Ocean City: in its possession of such a body of- ) enthusiasts, as the Association rep- 1 ! resented, and predicted that in few j [ years, the city would become j I known the country' over for its ie-J teres, in athletics.

POPULAR LEGIONAIRE LOST VICTORY MEDAL JOrfN E. TROUT MEETS lilG LOSS WHILE SERVING THE CITY A sad misfortune befell the pop-!

ular Ictionaire, county chairman of > the associated posts of the Amer- i ican Legion, John E. Trout whii£ i lending his valuable services to the city in conducting the procca- ' sion, orranized to celebrate the - freeing of the automobile bridge ; from toll. None can estimate. the value of ' the, ssfvices rendered by the Leg- . inndti3erycting as special traffic

automobiles were formed into line, « and directed through the dty. j It is perhaps due to them largely . that the celebrations, were attended « - by no serious accidents. John fi. Trout, who served as i First Lieutenant in the. 114th ln-ji ' fantry during the period of the i ' war, had the misfortune to lose his u : Victory Medal, somewhere on As- 1

' bury Avenue between Ninth Street dthe Yacht Club. The possession of a Victory Medal, is not merely a matter of ' sentiment with an ex-service man. It is his most valued treasure among his possessions- a token ot a nation's gratitude for the set®! - 1 vices rendered, during a tragic i j period in the nation's history. If another medal could be oh-

t ' taincd t« replace it, there would !>e some small consolation. It is to / ' lw devoutly hoped that the medal f was picked up by some person who i. reads' this notice, and who will c return itto its owner" at 1053 Ast bury Avenue.
