keystone Loses To
Betterton's Veterans
HOsbach, for Visitors, and B0oye
for Travellers, Pitched Fine
Game-ScOre 2-1.

One of the hardest fought baseball
games of the entire season was play
ed here on Wednesday afternoon,
City, met the ~Pleasantville Travellers
on the New Road diamond. keystone
secured one run in the opening inning
and then run getting shut down for
both sides until the fifth inning, when
the Travellers secured a run to tie the
score. Then no more runs were made
until the eighth when Morris, of the
keystone club, made a bad throw to
third base and the Travellers put over
the winning run.
Hosbach, who pitched for the Key
stone club, and Booye for the TRAY
elers, gave as fine an exhibition of
pitching as has been witnessed this
season.
McDevitt and Mailman were the
shining lights of the M~ainlanders,
while Wise, Miller and Morris per-
formed we'll for the Maroon and Gold
aggregation. Cal Wescott made his
debut as an outfelder and performed
a nifty catch of Potter's drive to the
right garden. Smoke" Healy made
good his initial appearance at the
keystone bag, while "Poonie' Weiss
and Merv Craig played like veterans
should. Frank Barry, the diminutive
shortstop, was forced to leave the
game when he turned his ankle in the
last inning. Sam Higbee took his
place.

kfwanis Club Has
Winning Ball Team
City Kiwanians Defeat
ed Here Tuesday Afternoon
by Score of IL.

The ball team of the Atlantic City
Kiwanis Club came over here on Tues
day afternoon expecting to slip an
easy victory into their gripsack and
carry it back home. They were the
most sadly disappointed bunch that
ever came over the Boulevard, after
they had tackled the Mainland Kiwan-
ians. They " copied their pitcher
from Pleasantville Town, as they had
Scott Long in the box, but this diplo-
matte stroke did not help them any.
They let Long slide in the seventh
and took a Mayor, Ralph Harcourt, of
Longport, as their hurler, but he could
not stem the Mainlanders, who were
bound to pile up enough runs to last
them through the game and then
some. The defeat cannot be laid to
the pitching staff of the Atlantic City
aggregation, as Pleasantyille only OBJ
tanned six hits from both Long and
Harcourt. In the eighth inning Har-
court retired Pleasantyille by only
pitching nine balls, and each one a
strike.
Bobby Mclean pitched for the local
Kiwanians and held the visitors down
TO four hits and one III Mayor Har-
court managed to connect for a three
Dagger. Stanley Zippler. President of
the local Kiwanis Club, showed the
boys that he could play baseball as
well as WELD a mallet at the meet
ings. He made catches of four long
flies that would have made a big lea
guer turn green with envy to have
watched him grab them. The Atlantic
City bunch called him a burglar for
making such catches which ordinarily
should have netted them runs. When
Zippler threw the ball in from the out
field it came through the air just as
though shot from a modern French rs
or some other powerful catapult. The
next time Atlantic City ome here to
play baseball they are going to hire
Connie Mack's aggregation and dis
guise them to look like Jerseymen,
such as Joe Shinn, Bill Verga, Doc.
Darlington and others of the shore
club.

Big Circus Coming
Thursday, August 3
Trained Nubian Lions Are Big
Added Attraction with Walter
L. Main Circus.

A big added attraction to the Walter
L. Main circus, which will spread its
acres of tents in ~Pleasantville, Thurs
day, Aug. 8, on Myers Field Show
Ground. is Madam Aurora's Riding
Lion and wild animal show, presented
in two mammoth steel arenas as the
introductory feature of the circus per-
Torrance. In these steel dens are
presented sensational, death-defying
stunts by groups of lions, tigers, pu-
mas, ~leopards and other beasts of the
jungle. There are two groups of mon
ster Nubian lions who perform hereto
fore unheardof tricks, forming pyra-
mids, rolling globes, jumping through
hoops of fire, and always responding
to the will of the trainer. a new ana
distinctive feature is the first appear
ance in this country OF Wilson's group
of trained Nubian lions, including
Duke, the only lion in the world that
has been taught to ride a horse. Then
there is a sensational feature in the
assembling of a group comprised OF
two lions and a dog, who sit around a
table and eat a meal in perfect harmo-
ny. A lady trainer feeds these lions
raw meat with her bare hands.
Added to the wild animal portion of
the circus is a group of trained seals
and sea lions, who not only prove
adopts at feats of juggling, but play
musical instruments as well, an old
fashioned barn-yard circus, in which
trained pigs play an important part,
riding dogs and monkeys, and three
well trained bears whose antics are
most mirthful. Trained elephants
contribute astonishing stunts, and the
half hours program OF animal acts is
said to be one of the most pleasing
features of the long circus perform

FEDERAL AID
BEING SOUGHT
Route From PennsgrOve to At
lantic City, via Pleasantville,
May Soon Be Paved.
Engineers Are at Work

If Federal Aid can be obtained to
make the Pennsgrove-Atlantic City
route a part of the Federal Highway
System, and it is now believed such
aid will be given, there will soon be
another paved road added to the i'm
portant routes that traverse South
Jersey. This is a most important
highway, as it connects the Jersey
seashore resorts with the South. The
road ~trayerses part of Salem County
and goes across a corner of Gloucester
County and thence down through At
lantie County by way of Mays Land
ing and Plea5antville, to Atlantic City
and other coast resorts which are Wis
tied by thousands of motorists from
the South, especially in the summer.
In the fall and winter this route is
also well p%atronized by autoists maxi
ing southern tours. The road is al
ready paved from Atlantic City to
Mays Landing.
President Harding and his party re-
Gently used this route in their run
from Washington to Atlantic City and
Absecon. 1t is now a gravel highway
for most OF its distance and, while in
fairly good condition, it does not stand
up well throughout the year under the
eyer-increasing traffic of motorcars
and. heavy trucks.
Because of its connection with the
Wilmington ferries at Pennsgrove this
route greatly shortens the trip into
lower Jersey from the Southern States.
An additional ferryboat was recently
placed in service between Wilmington
and Pennsgrove to handle the increas-
ed traffic in motorcars over this route.
Municipalities and townships have
considered it is too big a tax burden
to try to finance this road improve
ment alone.
State highway officials have been
criticized in the past for their appa-
rent neglect of this route and failure
OF the State Highway Commission to
appropriate funds for the paving of at
least part of it, when large sums have
been expended upon roads of less i'm
p%ortance. Now State Highway Engi-
neer Wasser mas been comforting with
the county engineers in the three
counties through which the route
passes With respect to a n
ling Federal aid for the 4
this route.

measure assist in tightening the bur
den of those who are actively engaged
in planning the Fair should gladly
lend a helping hand to do so. A note
telling of your willingness addressed
TO the Atlantic County Fair, Egg Har
Dor City, will get a response and place
you in the proper work that will help
for the Fairs success.
This is as the name indicates Allan
tic County's Fair, your Fair as well as
everybody else's Fair. To ii will come
hosts of people, not only from sections
of our own County but from neighbor-
ing counties and cities. 1t will adver-
tise Atlantic County and our County's
products and progressiveness far and
wide. No one ear estimate the far
reaching effect of such publicity.
So turn in if there is any way you
can aid with a will and help make this
years Atlantic County Fair an occa-
sion in keeping with Atlantic County's
importance in the State.

MEETS
FRIDAY NIGHT
Members Will Discuss Amount
of Yearly Rental for Use of
New Sewerage System.
Amend Specifications

The property owners who now have
their properties connected up to the
sewerage system and those who will
be compelled to make connections of
their properties under the ordinance
passed by City Council on July third,
will know something of the charge
which is to be made annually by the
city for service after the matter is
discussed this Friday night by the
members of City Council. An adjourn
ed meeting is to be held for that pur-
pose.
The exact charges for yearly rental
will not be fixed at this meeting, but
the councilmen are preparing to fix
the charges so that the ordinance can
be introduced and passed in the near
future. The exact charges will not be
fixed until it is ascertained just what
amount of money the Sewerage Com
missioners will recommend to be rails
ed by direct assessment against the
properties which abut the sewerage
mains. The Commissioners report
will be made to Council in a few days.
When it is known what amount is TO
be raised by direct assessment and
what amount is to be provided for by
bond issue to pay the entire cost of
installing the sewerage main and
plant, then the exact yearly charges
will be fixed. These rentals will be
of sufficient amount to take care of
the running expenses of the sewerage
system and also to provide a part of
the fund for retiring the bonds that
will be issued.
While nothing has yet been given
out as to what the yearly charges will
be, 1t is understood that they will not
be excessive when the amount of ben
eft to property owners is considered.
The installation of the sewerage is
probably the most advanced step that
has ever been taken in this city in
the direction of progress. When the
sewerage system comes the old cess
pool must go and this is a decided
advantage to the community.
AT this meeting Council will also
take up the matter of revising the
specifications for sidewalks and curbs.
Under the ordinance, and in order to
hurry. along free city delivery of mails,
