SHORE CLUB

Myers Says His Buds viii
Play Game Next Sea-
son
EXPECTS EIGHT TEAMS
IN THE TRI-STATE

ATLANTIC CITY, ~ j.. Dec. 2s.-
President John II. Myers of the At
Iantic City Tri-state Club has issued
emphatic denials to published reports
that he was going to take the team
out of the resort "I can't see where
these yarns originate" said Myers.
The club will remain at the shore as
repeatedly told dubious ones. de-
spite the poor season experienced
last year Atlantic City will support
winning ball. and this will be given
here next year
NO one expects a city to attend ball
games in which its representative
nine. always comes out at the short
end. The changes to be made next
season. however. viii startle the
league. and you can expect to see us
on top"
Myers said the Tri-state League
meeting will be held either the first
or second week in January II was
rumored that President Charles Car
penter would be deposed some time
ago. but the opposition seems to have
dwindled and now there seems no
likelihood of a change. President
Carpenter has stood by the circuit
to the last and hopes to carry IL
through with better financial success
this coming year. George Hecker'
has been mentioned as his successor
but the leader OF the White Roses
personally told Myers that he was
not candidate.
Eight clubs will compose next years
circuit. Reading will be one Of the
two cities to again break into the
league, and George Heckert will more
than likely have the franchise there.

PLAYING MANAGERS

How many more years before the

Next season there will be just two

entirely changed. Most of the man

on the diamond, but at the present
time most of them do their managing

playing leaders in the American

Callahan not so long ago were play

there is hardly chance they Will re-

This is altogether different from
the start of 1913. when George Sto-

changes everything. and the national

DEATH OF DELMAS LADNER.

The death of Delmas Ladner, which
occurred in this city at the family home
at IL o'clock Tuesday morning, jan
uary 22, 1913, removes from this COM
unity one of the best known and Oldest
citizens, and it is with much regret that
we chronicle his demise.
The deceased was native of Bay St.
Louis, and was 80 years of age on last
September 1st. His wife preceded him
to the grave about twenty years ago.
He is survived by nine children, namely:
Messrs. Victor Ladner, of Lake Shore;
Alcide, Cyril, Sylvan of Bay ST. Louis,
and Aristide, of New Orleans; Mrs. Jos.
D. Saucier, Mrs. Jos. L. Farve, Mrs,
Debuisson, Miss Emma Ladner. He
is also survived by one brother, Mr..
Etienne Ladner.
Mr.. Ladner had been i'll for the past
few months, and while he was improving
his advanced age was against him, and
the end came peacefully at the family
home, surrounded by his loved one. Be-
fore breathirg g his last he was comforted
by the rece ption of the last sacraments
of bis (the Catholic) church, by Rev.
Father Tourte, who officiated at the
funeral ceremony.
The funeral took place Wednesday
forenoon and was one of the largest
funerals seen here. The ceremony at
the house was continued at the church
of Our Lady of the Gulf and concluded
at Cedar Rest Cemetery, where all that
was mortal of this grand old man, who
had been loved, honored and revereo by
more than one generation, having lived
more than the allotted scriptural life,
was tenderly laid at rest in the keeping
of the bosom of mother earth.
The family feels deeply the loss OF
their parent. They have the sympathy
of the community in their bereavement

The Echo publishes elsewhere in this
issue the first part of sea wall bill,
as proposed by Representative r. l..
Genin, and to be introduced by him
at the next session (January, 1919 Of
the Legislature. The bill has been
carefully drafted and treats the subject
in most inexhaustable manner, clearly
and with forethought, to avoid future
litigation, should the bill ever become
law. The purpose is to secure bond
issue by the county, whenever the Board
of Supervisors is petitioned to do SO;
it provides a set of specially appointed
board of commissioners to build a sea
wall, and, in turn, the taxpayers, by
special assessment and taxes, to repay
the county similar to an annual INSTALL
ment. The bill is published for the
information of The Echo's readers, and
Representative Genin desires to know
whether or not it will meet with the
public approval. Write him or tell
him so. is expected the Bay St. Louis
