OCEAN GUY CHOSEN ! FOR COAST TENNIS

OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP8" p | TENNIS COMMISSION HAS " TAKEN ANOTHER GREAT tl STRIDE FORWARD "j The Ocean City Tennis Cominis- '' sion is ever watchful of advancing " the interests of tennis in Ocean . and its latest feat is quite a successful accomplishment. It has been felt that in as njuch " Ocean City has been known for many years as an Important tennis editor and because of the new ten- ' nix equipment provided by the city 3' that it had outgrown the South " Jersey Championship event. It 1 I felt tiiat such n title implied a lim- •' ] Red scope whereas some of the •- ( Iiest players in the country enter - this event and the numtier of play- t , ers often exceeded those entering v larger tournaments. t To meet this situation the Ocean J ■ City Tennis authorities conferred ' with the U. S. National Lawn Ten- r 1 nis Association for the purpose of ; enlarging the scope of their title t • und to create, if noresary, an event t on which they could cnlurge, vet > • never outgrow. Attention was t • I called to the great Pacific Coast | 1 Open Championship, which is Call- j < fomia's major event. In, as much ■ Ocean City was Mug equipped ( ■ for large tournaments it was de- 1 ; cided that a tournament similar to 1 • the Pacific Coast event should be ( - held along the Atlantic Coast. It ( 1 is the plan to make this the most 1 important sanction on the Atlan- ( - tic Seaboard from Maine to Flor- I • and the title of "Atlantic Coast 1 Open Championship" will give it a ; prestige for which all players on ! the entire coast and throughout , ; the country will gladly strive. The Ocean City Tenia Commis- j sion are to be congratulated for ( " this forward step in securing the - major event in lieu of the small f South Jersey Championship which ( , they had. in reality, outgrown. •, . "The Atlantic Coast Open Cham1 plonship" will be held on Aug. 27, | '• the date set for the old event. It will be Ocean City's ambition , to outrival the Pacific Coast event j " ' to play "Const to Coast" matches, ' und make it one of the most cow • eted championships in the country.

BAPTISTS PREPARE TO MOVE ; PURCHASED CHURGH OLD AUDITORIUM WILL BE j CONVERTED INTO COMMUN- j ITY HOME FOR COLORED , As heretofore announced, the j , ! members of the Shiloh Baptist t j Church, over which the Rev. Grant ] ! Harris ministers, have purchased I j the building which until last Sunjoay, was known as the First Bap- . j tint Church of Ocean City. i During the present week opera- ] j will begin for the removal of the church and plant, down into , immediate vicinity where the colored folks live. The undertaking will unquestionably prove a wise step upon the part of the purchasers. They (will have .at their service a very ! attractive ami commodious audi- ! toriunt, of modest ..dimensions, which will meet their requiremeats for the present admirably. Tlic present auditorium in use j by the Shiloh Church, will be coilverted into a comfortable communhouse for colored people. A - scheme could not be con1 ct-ived. During the summer months '(the Shiloh Baptist Church has a ' ! congregation of 400 people to proI j vidc for. Last year these people I were severely handicapped and ' embarrassed for lack of proper ac- ' co® in odations, as many as four I and five persons being compelled •Ito occupy the same bedroom, •j Rev. Grant Harris is anxious to I remedy this evil, both inconvenient and unsanitary. The communsjily house therefore will be a step 1 ! in the right direction and will add n ) dignity to the city.

Since beginning his pastorate in city, Rev. Grant Harris has accomplished a great work. He has built up a strong congregation and -' church and has carried into effect r.cvorel splendid movements, for the wellbeing and advancement of rate in the city. An eloquent speaker, a man of p convictions, and a co csci- s entious worker, he obviously ex- " ercises a wide influence over the ' people of his charge.

When the only Demo- 1 crat iJkficld of six, W. H. CampItell, can^ccure the highest vote in I the city, 300 more than his nearest Republican opponent, who happens to he the Republican leader— truly is a great Republican victory. The same kind of a Republican j victory Edwards and Silzer won Fall and the same kind of Re-publicaw-victory we expect from ) Silzer in 1924 as nominee for Presi I am curious to know what spirit j moved our Mayor Champion on the ; evening of election when he prayled that "God help Campbell if he i pull somebody with him."
