OF Interest to Shad Fishermen

Congressman Bacharach has arraag-
ed with the commissioner Of light
houst for the removal of buoys num-
bered IL and Is, from the Della ware
River during the shad fishing season.
He endeavored TO have buoy III re-
moved, but the commissioner states
that it is not advisable to remove that
buoy, as the same marks the lower
entrance to the narrow dredged cut
across Mud Island bar, and 1t is there
fore necessary to strangers running the
Mud Island range in the day time.
The commissioner has also directed
that the buoys be removed on or about
April first. Heretofore the Govern
ment has removed only buoy number
II, and this was not done until the lat
ter part OF April when the shsd fish
ing season was almost over aud these
buoys were therefore q great hinder
ance to the fishermen. The removal of
the additional buoy and the earlier date
at which they will be removed will be
of much benefit to those engaged in
shad fishing industry. There are about
two hundred men engaged in this in
dustry on the Delaware between Tay-
lor's lane, Cambridge, Riverside, De-
lance and Beverly, upon whose request
the matter was taken under considera-
ton by Congressman Bacharach and
brought to q successful conclusion.

Frederick l. of Prussia was killed by
fear. His wife was insane, and one
day she escaped from her keepers and,
dabbling her clothes in blood. rushed
upon her husband while he was doing

her to be the white lady whose ghost
is believed to appear whenever the
death of a member of a royal family
is to occur, and he was thrown into
a fever and died in six weeks.

Basket Bali

The WILDWOOD team was again VIC
torious last Monday evening when they
met and defeated the All-Stars Of the
Brotherhood League, of Philadelphia,
by a score of As to 33 at Colonial Hall.
L NO substitutes were made, Foster for
Baker and Dornan for Dean. Lehr
made 4 field goals, Baker 4, Delaney 3,
Colberg 3, Foster 3, 6heehan 5 and
Wilson 4. Delaney made 8 out of Is
foul goals and Wilson Ii out of19. The
game was REFERRED by Banks. Through
the efforts of Manager Spang, Albert
Lehr had been secured 10 play the first
league game at Cape May Tuesday
evening, but took part in the game
Monday evening, and 1t seemed like
old times to see him in the line up and
this was manifest by the reception the
fans gave him when he came on the
floor. Mr.. Lehr left for Tamaqua
Wednesday where he is scheduled, as
he has signed up with the Pennsyl-
vania State League and is we'll thought
of by that organization.
The Cape May Commissioners are of
the opinion that basket ball deserves
encouragement more than mere at
tendance and have donated to the Cape
May A. A. 5000 for the maintenance of
the game. 1t is suggested the Com
missioners of Wild wood fall In with
this spirit and show their appreciation
OF the sport with a similar or larger
contribution.
MANAGER sPANG PROTESTS CAPE MAY
SAME
On Tuesday evening the Wild wood
A. G. went to Cape May to play their
first seashore league game and when
play stopped the score stood Is TO IL
favor Of Cape May. Manager Spang
kept time along with H. g. Schlichting
as scores. With fifty-two seconds to
play Cape Nays time keeper threw up
his hands to referee Robbins claiming
time was up. just at this time a foul
was called on Cape May but as the
referee claimed the time was up Wild
wood was not allowed to try for foul
goal due them. Furthermore manager
Spang used a stop watch and was &C.
curate on time such as double fouls
and when the ball went out of the
cage. The game is therefore protested
on the grounds of having fifty-two
seconds in which to play and a try for
foul which was not allowed. The Cape
May time keeper not having a stop
watch did not get the exact time lost
when ball was out of cage and on
double fouls.
A large crowd went we to Cape
May Tuesday evening and royalty
supported the home team.
Monday, February 7th, the Grey.
stock Reserves will again visit Wild
wood and 1t is up to the home team
to work hard for our boys.
as we want the game.
Last nights preliminary game be-
tween the Tenenbaum and Wentzell
teams was hard fought, resulting in a
score of SO to 30 in favor of T%enenbaum.
The Wild wood and Ocean City teams
then took the floor. The Wildwood
boys were in good shape and from the
start began to pile up a score which
met with great enthusiasm from the
rooters, and at the end of the first half
1t was evident that the Ocean City toys
would have to do some good playing to
catch up. During the second half Wild
wood, being limbered up, began to
score higher and at the close of the
game the score stood ~ TO "a in Wild
