Basket ball, a game e~xhilarating and
beneficial to health, was demonstrated
in the best possible name on WASH

Dumb School met our local Eagle team
and defeated them 51-45. The doors
were thrown open at six forty-five and

hired boys to sit on the seats and there
by reserve space for them, while more
impatient fans interviewed Manager
Spang aud asked for a preliminary
game, which he gave them. The at
traction being the Wildwood Crescents
and Wildwood Crest. The game was
a fair one and an extra five minutes of
play was required TO decide the winner.
The Wild wood Crescents finally won
1927. At nine o'clock the mutes made
their appearance attired in natty uni
forms OF light blue and while and the
game was called. The mutes scored
first by a fine field goal. Several fouls
ensued and then Delaney with q COM
bination of floor work and eagle eye
shooting tied the score at IA. The
mutes displayed keen eyesight, agile
movements and were the finest, clean
est and most sportsmanlike players
that have aver visited Five Mile Beach.
Lehr and Delaney starred and Albert
Lehr played the finest game of his
career as a basket ball player. The
score was tie nine times during the
game. -Four in the first half, which
ended 20 to IS and five In the second,

favor of the mutes 81 to 45. The tie

gains. The first half ended 1914 in
favor of Cape May. The second half
was much livelier, both teams being
well warmed up. Cape May kept in
the lead all through the game, but the
local boys got together and their fast
playing and accurate shooting adj

CITY To TAKE OVER
ALL RIVER ISLANDS?
Taylor and Seitz Confer on the
Problem Arising From Douglass
Request For Patent

The recent application of J. H.
Dougless 1906 Green street, for the
patent rights to a new island that has
appeared in the Susquehanna oppo-
site Kelker street may result in a
movement on the part of the city to
acquire all the islands opposite Har-
risburg for park purposes.
Park Commissioner Nj. Harvey Tay-
lor and City Solicitor D. S. Seitz to-
day conferred on the subject it is un-
derstood to determine what legal steps
could be taken by the municipality in
this direction. Except to admit thac
there had been a conference on the
subject and that the matter would
be given proper attention" neither.
Mr.. Taylor nor the solicitor would dis
cuss the question.
More than a year ago Warren II.
Manning, park expert, declared that
the city should own all the islands and
advocated a movement whereby the
proper steps could be taken to secure
them.
The application for patent rights to
the new island-a several acre strip
that has appeared within the last few
years to the north OF Independence is-
land-has brought the matter forcibly
before the authorities with the result,
1t is said. of definite action in the mat
ter on the city's part

Remnants of Emden Crew
Attacked by Arabs at
Instigation of English
BY .fttncintcd Ptcss


Berlin via wireless to London. April
23, sos a. M.-The crew of the Ger
man "warship" Aysha, composed of
men who escaped when the cruiser
Emden was sunk by an Australian
warship in the Indian ocean Novem-
ber 10, have escaped again from allied
patrol ships and arrived at the Arabian
harbor OF Lidd, on March %. They
covered by sea the 500 miles from
Hodeida to Lidd.
After reaching the coast the sailors
attempted to continue their journey
overland but were attacked by Arabs,
suddenly at the instigation of the Eng
lish. After three days stubborn fight
ing the attacks were repulsed and they
reached the road to Hodachas, where
the railway was open. The Germans
suffered heavy losses.
The bold exploits of this remnant
OF the Emden's crew have constituted
one of the most dramatic episodes of
the war. The men were members of a
landing party which was on Cocos Is
land when the battle occurred between
the Australian cruiser Sydney, and the
Emden in which the German cruiser
was sunk.
Under the leadership of Lieut. Won
Muecke the landing party comman-
deered the schooner Ayasha and sailed
away. Since that time there have been
many conflicting reports regarding
their activities.

Canadians Distinguish
Themselves on Hill so

London, April "a, S.55 A M.-The
Daily Mails correspondent in Northern
France, in a dispatch describing the
British attack on hill No so, south of
Ypres says:
The British success was due large
ly to the speed of'the tunnel en- gineers.
for the explosion of the British mines
anticipated by only a short time a
similar move planned by the German
engineers. Hill No. so is only 200
yards long. The fighting here has been
more terribly concentrated than in any
spot in history. The whole hill is
mined, trenched, sandbagged and COW
cred. Some of the enemys trenches
are still virtually on the hill within
twenty yards of the British trenches.
The Canadian troops have been
specially commended by the British
commanders for the speed and preci-
sion with which they dug themselves
in after charging"
