First Entry is Made in Asbury Park
Great Midsummer Event.

/ Entries for the great pageant OF
youngsters at Asbury Park next month
are beginning to come in, and indica-
tions are that the list will rival. ifnot
exceed, the largest of past years.
The first entry this season for the
Baby Parade is truly winsome little
lass from Morristown, N. j. Her name
is Ruth Irene Wilson, her age being
four years. Her father is lawyer,
being a member of the firm of Vree-
land. King, Wilson g. Lindabury, Of
Newark and Morristown. Her mother,
who is physician, is graduate OF the
New York Medical College and Hos
pital for Women.
Mistress Ruth made her first appear
ance in public in the procession of tots
at Asbury Park in 1905. She was in
the college colors division of the pa
rade, dressed as Columbia athlete,
and attracted much attraction.
Last year the chubby maid was en-
tered in the fancy dress division. With
silk hat and dress coat she made cute
little Puck, winning, as she did the
previous year, a loving cup. This
bright robust girl is a strict vegeta-
rian, as she has never tasted meat.
During the summer she romps around
minus socks and shoes, except on spe-
cial occasions.
| The date for this years parade is the
afternoon of Thursday, August 29th.
The Deal Lake carnival will take place
Friday, August 23rd, the Queens Ban
quet on August 10Th, the Coronation
on the 9th, the Court Ball on the
18th, the MasQue Fete on the Both and
the Queens Farewell on the 3lst.
Entries for the parade are now being
received at the Carnival booth on the
fishing pier at Asbury Park

High School Standing.

TechnicaFs overwhelming defeat OF
Central yesterday by 90 to 9, the largest
score piled up on a high school team
by another for four years, shows tie
winners to be the real cOnten5ers in the
race for the championship and for the
Princeton alumni football cup, which
becomes the property OF the school win
ming it three times.
The cup was offered three years ago.
The first year the championship resulted

Western. Last year Western was the
undisputed holder of the treasure, and
this year, unless Eastern can stop the
orsIaughts of the Maroon ard Gray s
heavy eleven, the latter team viii walk
off with the honors.
Yesterdays contest, despite the one
sided score, was one of the most bril-
Liant games ever witnessed between two
high school teams. Beautifully delivered
punts, sensational end runs, and forward
passes made the exhibition more open
than even the worst enemies OF the
dangerous mass play could wish for.
Even the masS-On-tackle plays, which
are the nearest approach present day
football can make to the former close
formations, and which caused so much
adverse criticism several years ago,
were, in the main, open.
outweighed and 0utplayed.
Although far from being outgamed
the Central team almost TO a man was
heavily outweighed and outplayed. The
lack Of team work of o Street School
stood out In contrast to the results in
this training the Technical boys had.
The winners defense was well-nigh In
vulnerable On not more than three or
four occasions were CentraTs fast, but
miniature, backs able TO penetrate the
impregnable line presented BY their ad-
Versaries. Not only was Il impossible
to pierce Techs line and the spot out
side of tackles. but the brilliant work Of
Captain Brewster and Janus, at ends,
kept the losers from gaining around
these positions more than once or twice.
Both teams showed but little improve
ment in the handling Of punts over their
former performances. In this respect
Central perhaps. excelled, but Il counted
exception, was down the field and wait
ing TO grab his man by the time the
leather sailed into his arms. Other men
who starred for the winners were Thrall.
Hart, and Bullough. The big fullbaCk
seldom failed to punt less than forty
yards, and his ends runs, with marvel
Gus interference were always good for
from FIVE to fifteen yards.
For Central, Vann. Hamilton. and NJ
Macdonald did the best work. On punts
after passing the ball to Hamilton Vann
would break through and get down the
field almost before the ends. and his
tackling was easily a bright feature.

years at a cost of so. 100000. The project is an
old one, but not until the recent canal building
movement was ii regarded as practicable from

According TO William Barclay Parsons, the en-
gineer who had charge of the drafting of the

directing the construction of the Cape Cod Ca
nal. the waterway will be % feet deep at low
