- NELSON'S COHORTS FROM SISTER RESORT OUT-CLASSED BY LOCAL COLLEGIANS. MORNING LANDED A SHUT OCT VICTORY, AFTERNOON 3 TO 2 MANAGER MACKENZIE CONGRATULATED | S TOTAL GAMES PLAYED, THIRTY- EIGHT. WON TWENTYEIGHT. LOST NINE, AND TIED ONE. ENVIABLE RECORD * i FOR THE CLASS OF TEAMS MET

l?| Congratulations are being showcrcd upon Manager Murdo Macken- . zip, and his colleagues in the man- . ' agemcnt, for the wonderful success ■ which has attended the season of i j the Ocean City Collegians, j : Ocean City has this summer wit- i lf : nessed the finest brand of ball, j-ever played in the city. The pur- | chase and the building of She Ball , j Park was a worthy enterprise, and j | has done much to advance the fu- 1 1 turc prosperity of Ocean City. | ( ' The players this year comprise ji several who may be considered in the star class, while ail without ;r exception, arc gifted with more; than ordinary skill and talent The Ocean City Collegians have moreover established a record,; which teams of longer standing 1 and wider fame, might envy. In 1 1 all they have played thirty-eight I games. Twenty-eight stand to their ' I credit as victories, nine games I were lost .and one ended in a tic. I And be it remembered, Manager ) 1 Mackenzie did not serve all his ' 1 stars at the same meal. Every man ( j in -the aggregation was given an j opportunity, to acquit himself, and to prove his prowess nnd skill. I Taken throughout the season, : the games have been well patron - . ized. The Ball Park, and the Col- | ' legians have unquestionably proved I ; a recreational, and entertainment ( ; reset, of first rank importance. By ; the coming season, the Park will be 1 completed, ami be one of the very j finest on the coast. ; The Ocean City Collegians, com- ] 1 pleted the season on Monday with j ] 'a deuHle victory, against the ' Atlantic City Collegians. 'I In the morning the Ocean City I Collegians won with a shut-out score winning 4-0. The afternoon ' .' tilt was interrupted by the storm " in the seventh frame, leaving the . tally standing at 3-2 in favor of the local Collegians. G re veil, pitching artist for the South Phillies, performed from the mound for the home team in the morning .holding the invaders .! iwn to six scattered hits. Dixie Davies occupied the box for the ' visitors, displaying real skill, and pitching a sterling brand of ball. But his support was deplorably uncertain, ami a fatal mis-play in the second frame, gave the home team their winning tally. Do ran and DeCoursey exhibited some sensational moves in their field activities; while Cummlngs and Mangold, were the luminaries, in the of the visitors. Alan Tarr, the Bucknrll star hurier, performed from the box tor Ocean City, during the afternoon. "Die home team were again outwalloped by the invaders, but lack of coordination in the ranks of the latter, made their efforts ineffective. Johnny Downs operated from th; hurling mound for AtlanUc Cltv, and was nicked for five safe-wal-l - i lops. >, l| I" this game Doran was a lum-j ■

- inary of rare brilliancy. Two hits - fell to his share; two runs he' - scored; sex-en chances came his; J way, all of which he grabbed ami r turned to good account. Ncx-ille, of Princeton, also shone/ • registering two fine bingies. Much to the surprise of all whoi' of his home-run record last Raymond Nelson passed 1 ' out of the field hitless. The Miller brothers acquitted ' themselves splendidly in the after- ' : noon tilt. ! The following arc the summaries 1 t of both games. j- OCEAN CITY COLLEGIANS . ] Morning Game i .1 R. H. O. A. E.

si '^ng, long years ago, "when K i worth dying for" so the legend 1 1 runs, the terrible Captain Kidd and his cut-throat crew of pirates, I xvci " chased into the waters of Egg Harbor Bay, by three British Navy i The tide chanced to oe at low ebb I and unacquainted with the channels of the bay, the famous bucI canrer ran his ship aground on one .

Fearthey would have to abandon . the ship, 'Captain Kidd and his , ere xv rowed themselves ashore nnd ; I there buried the chest of looted , I after making a rough chart to indicate the place of hid- » I Years rolled on, so the legend j runs, and the chest became lost. I some members of the crew I attempted to locate the treasure but to no avail, since the chart i-e-I came lost. Early last week however, an old . document, whicb appears to have ■ been the lost chart, was discovered. I The chart indicated in a crude ) manner, the coastal outline of ) Pcark's beach, with a signifleent ) mark pointing to the section where ) noxv stands the bulkhead at Foil r- ; ( tcenth Street.

S. / Coast , ■. Guards, stationed at Ocean/ City. 1 1- Captain Godfrey kept his own 1 counsel, and the secrets of the dis- ' embodied spirit, of old Captain ' » Kidd. « Saturday afternoon, behold a * " large boat appeared on the horizon. I As it drew nearer ,a chill seized 1 * upon every heart, for the eye de- ' tected a black Dag waving, baring '° on it the ominous skull and cross- ' L j bones. Nearer it came, and a fierce •" looking creature was seen standing y in command, manipulating the rud- 1 if der. I "Captain Kidd," the whisper ' !- passe/1 around. Brave hearts be- '

" j gan to quake, and a great fear ! fell upon all. 1 Soon it was discovered, that I in additional to the wild looking skipper, the boat was manned by | 'four oarsmen, ferocious creatures. J clad in tattered garments, with j i yellow kerchiefs bound aroun.1 the head. - Each man was a walking arsen- 5 al, armed to the teeth with huge pistols, old fashioned flint-lock muskets and cutlasses. They were the phantom forms, of four of Cuptain Kidd's associates in piracy, reincarnate.! in the bodies of Robert Cordery, Lore Corson, Ralph Clayton .and Henry Baueeuwine members of the U. S. Coast (rtiards, ; stationed at Fourth Street. Mayor Champion was in a aunc 1 on the bax . but failed utterly to ] summon up the courage, to arrest the terrible pirate. » g Captoin Kidd and his viltanoxis . crew landed at Fourteenth <«treet. ' The chart indicated, that a iaclcr of great importance in discovering j the location of th • treasure, was a bayberry tree. The tree wis ilicovered. Cauii/.i Kid.l a: d h's crew, after pouring five bottles of Volstead runi, down into the hold of tbelr anatomy, paced the distances indicated by the chart, and at last began to dig. There in the middle of a vmeant lot, loca.r ! in the heart of the section .they discovered . and uneaitbed, a hugh old seachest full Of priceless contraband. Drawing his cutlass, ready to defend if need be the treasure, , Captain Kidd led his crew bade to , the boat and away they rowed. The dramatic representation of ; the old legend was one of the big 1 ex-enf* of the carnival. The memof the Coast Guards played 1 their parts to perfection. During the water pageant ; • tie - 1 , circled around the be. apKidd, despite his -ivory , reputation, had the au> udty to pilot his boat immediately follow i ing that of the Royal Barge, and . came in for generous applause. The landing of the pirates was ! witnessed by a hugh crowd of spectators who entered into the , spirit of the occasion with gusto. Henceforth it will be futile for ! person or persons to endeavor to locate the hidden treasure. Cap- • tain Kidd nailed away with it and lost in view.
