FLAG RAISING PROVES
AUSPICIOUS EVENT
PLEASANTVILLE OPENS SEASON
BIZ W~HITEWASHING MELROSE
A.. C.-SCORE, SO.

Pleasantville had a very patriotic
opening of the 1917 baseball season,
at Adams Park last Saturday. Rep
resentatives came from every munich
patty in the whole county to help our
city paw homage to "Old Glory and
to the best of sports-baseball. The
crowd that gathered inside the gates
taxed the capacity of the grandstand
and the surrounding field to the fullest
extent. 1t was easily the largest as
semblage the old park has ever known.
Preceding the ball game came the
patriotic exercises, which were corr
posed of a parade and the ceremonies
at the park. The parade formed on
East Verona venue. At 1.30 the sig
nal was given which put the big line
in motion. Up Main street they came
headed by Chief Krewson and a squad
of police that reached from one side
of the street to the other. Back of
them vas Mayor Crawford and his
councilmen. Next in line were the
Absecon fremen with their new fire
fighting apparatus, together with the
Absecon Highlands Grange Band.
Following these came the Melrose ball
tossers in company with Pleasant
tAlO "iCNhIiS CICW CCiluClly CdIiy-
ing a big American Flag. Next came
the P%leasantville Band and Pleasant
vile Fire Department swinging up the
street with a martial tread leading the
Boy Scouts, and the ~gorgeously deco
Iated motor vehicles.
On reaching the park an invocation
was given by Rev. S. R. Stratton. The
Boy Scouts marched to the flag pole
in centerfeld, where they unfurled a
beautiful American Flao. a donation
to the Ball Club bv the Municipal Re-
publican League of Pleasantville,
while the local boys played the "Star
Spangled Banner.
Rev. RIA. Elwood, of Absecon, the
fighting Parson, who holds the Bible
in one hand and a Colts automatic in
the other, gave a short but spirited
address. He fully depicted the true
sentiment of the American people in
that vigorous manner no one else pos
sesses but himself.
In closing the ceremonies, the
Grange Band stepped on the field and
played America" in a very creditable
manner, which shows that, although
young as an organization, they have
the promise of making a good band.
Exactly at 800 o'clock Mayor Craw-
ford appeared on the field with a
brand new ball. He gave it a gentle
toss to the umpire and declared the
baseball season open. by calling out
"Play Ball".
