FISH DOCK A BUSY PLACE


The Lindholm, Reading n CITY
docks on Ottens Harbor are about as
busy a spot as can be found mere
abouts these days. Most all the larger
boats that formerly came into Angle
sea are now landing at Ottens HarDor,
and the docks there are the scene OF
great activity during shipping hours
There have been some big catches
brought into the Harbor the past Few
weeks. nearly 5000 barrels of fish
being shipped from there last week
On Saturday alone over $50 barrels
were shipped from these and all were
purchased for commission houses Dy
George A. Redding.
Two hundred feet of this dock is
owned by Axel Lindholm, about the
same amount by the wildwood & Della
ware Bay Short Line Railroad Co. and
the balance, including the street inter-
sections, by the city, making about $50
feet in all.
Mr.. Lindholm started the fish ship
ping business from the harbor SIX
wears ago on the little "two-by-twice"
wharf on a street end then owned by
the city. The business grew so rap
idly and so large that he built the 200
feet of dockage together with a barrel
house and office, the W. & D. B. Rail-
road building a similar section adj
Joining. Several stores, ice storage
houses, restaurants and offices are also
there. Mr.. Lindholm is about to sell
his interests there.

new TICKET in THE FIELD FOR
CITY COMMISSIONERS
w. COPYRIGHT Smith, Managing Secre-
tary of the Board OF Trade, Puts
His Hat in Ring for Mayor


Three new candidates entered the
field this week for City Commissioners
one for each Office to be filled, and
while each man will run more or less
independent, yet they are considered
by many a slate to oppose all old can
didates. They are
w. COPYRIGHT Smith, for Mayor.
Ralph L. CARL, for finance commits
sioner.
Alfred Taylor, for street commits
sioner.
Under the recall provision each
man is elected for the position desig-
mated and they do not organize by
selection of their mayor finance COM
missioner and street commissioner, as
is the case at the regular election for
Commissioners.
Tuesday, July 18th, is the date set
for the recall election. All petitions
must be in Is days before that time,
which means that they must be filed
with the city clerk by Monday next.
He will then go over the petitions for
nomination and if any r found in
sufficient they are returned to the
proper person and are given three
days to make them good.
No regular registration day will be
held by the election board, but the
judge of the county will sit in Wild
wood on Thursday, July 7th, at city
hall, from nine until five o'clock to
place names on the registry list whose
names were not on the list at the last
general election.
The petitions to place a lame on the
ballot requires a number equal to Is
per cen of the registration at the last
general election. There were 1740
names on the last list and this means
that there must be at least 25S names
on the nominating petitions.
AS it now stands there are ten
candidates in the field, five for mayor,
two for finance commissioner and
three for street commissioner. They
are as follows:
For Mayor-Mayor William c. Hen
dee, w. COPYRIGHT Smith, ex-Mayor
Frank E. Smith, E. Yenney and D.
Miles .Rigor.

Bright, the present incumbent, and

ARE MADE BY MAYS

An analysis of the pitching in yes
terday's game shows that Mays in
nine innings pitched Sc times. an
average of nine and one-half an in
ming. Twenty eight of these were
balls, eighteen were strikes and nine
foul strikes. Twenty resulted in in
field outs and five in outfield flies.
The FIVE hits of the Giants and a hit
batter account for the remainder.
Douglas sent the ball to the plate
103 times in the eight innings he
worked, almost thirteen to the in
ming. thirty nine times pitching balls,
putting over 35 strikes and six foul
strikes and being touched for three
fouls which did not count as strikes.

In the first place. although the
bleachers were packed and all re-

unoccupied vantage points. 1t is as
sumcd advance stories of the huge
throngs expected scared many away
and the fact that the sparsley occu-
pied section consisted of rush seats
at $3.50 per. also probably was a fac
tor.
The apathy of the crowd is difficult
to understand. There was not one
really hearty cheer given during the
course of the afternoon. nor was any
raZzing indulged in, not even the ap-
pearance of Babe Ruth. the idol of
