CLAYTON BEATS MT. DORA;

Last Sunday big crowd of fans
saw one of the most One-sided games
ever put on in Clayton. Mt. Dora
was the opposition. and the final
score. if we counted 'em all, was

the happenings, but finally aban-
doned everything but a few of the
more Important events
Corich and Johnson each hit out
home runs, while Johnson also got
3 bagger Lynch, Caldwell and Law
renee George cracked out two base
hits, among a flock Of singles by
practically everybody on the team.
Mt. Dora used several pitchers.
while Johnson pitched till the 9th
for Clayton and then went to first
base, Gorich taking up the twirling
job. Johnson showed classy style
all through the game, and finally
when old Dutch Snedeger got spiked
by runner in the 9Th johnson put
on the breast protector and caught
Corich'S fast ones lust as smoothly
as he hits, and that's some smooth.
The spiking of Snedcger was most
regrctable and Dutch got big cut
in one leg which will probably put
him out Of the game for some time.
1t appeared to us that the runner
should have avoided it.
The dark horse of the game
turned out to he none other than
Manager Lee Byrne. who took up
the job at first base in the 9Th. He
grabbed everything that came out in

STEWART r. McSHEA.

Stewart Ross McShea, banker, real
estate owner, former amusement man
and one of those fellows it was always
a pleasure to meet, died at his home
in Atlantic City on Wednesday morn
ing, at the age of II years. His son,
Walter Ross McShea, and Mrs. Nc
Shea were with him at the end.
The funeral will be held this Satur-
day morning at 8 o'clock at All Saints
Episcopal Church, and interment will
be made later in the day in Riverview
Cemetery, Norristown, Pa.
With the passing of this man goes
another who helped to make Atlantic
City what it is today. Starting when
the city was a summer resort of three
months duration, he, with John l..
Young, started winter amusements
that drew people from far and near.
He was a thorough business man and
improved his opportunities to the eX-
tent that in later years he retired
from active business and lived a quiet
life. He was always greatly interest
ed in charitable work. He took but
little interest in politics. Two or
three times he was prevailed upon to
accept nomination for office, but he
was generally ayerse to getting deep
into the political game.

M. E. Ministers Meet
With District Supt.
Rev. Alexander Corson Confers
Regarding Carrying Out Plans
For Centenary.

On Tuesday afternoon about twenty
Methodist Episcopal ministers repre-
senting this section of the Camden
District of the New Jersey Methodist
Episcopal Conference, held a meeting
in Wesley M. e. Church. with District
Superintendent Rev. Alexander Corson
presiding. The ministers present
were from p~leasantyille, Linwood, At
lantie City, Absecon, Hammonton,
Port Republic and towns in Camden
County.
District Superintendent Corson call
ed the meeting for the purpose of Civ
ing an outline and presentation of the
work he would desire TO see accom-
plished in regard to his District maxi
ing a 100 per cent. record in Centen-
AIRY work. This Centenary period ends
in May of 1924. 1t was started in 1919,
the Tooth anniversary of the %organiza-
ton Of the Methodist Episcopal For
eign Missionary Society. At that time
a drive was instituted to raise a sum
of about 800, 600 900 and Superinten-
dent Corson wants his District to com
plete the raising of its full quota by
the time the five year period expires.
While not connected with the en-
tenary work, an example was given of
what can be accomplished in a short
time by united effort. At Darlington,
Camden County, it was desired to
start a new church congregation. In
six months the people have not only
secured a $4,000 lot but they pay a
pastor the sun of $1,000 annually and
in addition raised $3.50 for the par
sonage fund.
