A petition nearly a yard long was
presented to the Commissioners. 1t
contained lis signatures and read as
follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, wish to pro-
test against the present location of the
baseball park and to request that it be
removed before the opening of the sea-
son."
James E. Whitesell, owner of the
Hotel Dorsey on Montgomery avenue,
wrote a letter to the Commissioners
IN the same subject which read as
below:
Gas a property wne and a voter
Of the City of Wildwood 1 wish to file
my protest objections to the existence
Of the baseball park on the beach
'front.' at the end of Montgomery ave-
lue, the same being a detriment to the
3ity in general and has a depreciating
effect upon property values in this
7icinity."
Mrs. James E. Whitesell was the
first petitioner to address the Commits
and made a strong plea for the
removal of the ball park. Another
woman, whose name was not learned,
also spoke in opposition to the ball
park being retained any longer on the
present site. She said she lived last
summer at the apartment house on the
north side of Davis avenue, close to
the boardwalk, and told how she and
others had been so annoyed by the
bowling mobs on the beach front. She
how a little child had been
struck on the arm by a foul ball that
few over the fence and into the yard
where the child was playing. Had
this ball struck this little girl on her
head" she stated, sit might have killed
her" From this occurrence the
speaker felt justified in pronouncing
the park, located so close as it is to
the boardwalk, a menace to life and
limb of persons outside the grounds.
Another woman admonished the
Mayor not to undervalue the power
and influence of the women who are
up in arms against this ball park.
My dear madam" he replied, 81 as
sure you I do not not; and as evidence
of the truth of what I am saying, it is
only necessary for me to remind you
that I am married and that I have
three sisters"
This candid acknowledgment by the
Mayor seemed greatly to please the
ladies present. dozen or more-and
they were further gratifed by hearing
the Mayor say that the ball park must
go and go this season. After an ex-
PLANTATION as to how he had been plan
ming long ago, how to get rid of the
park on the beach front, he remarked
decisively, REST assured, ladies it
will not be there when the season
opens"
1t is now proposed to shift the base
ball enthusiasts west of Park boule-
ward on a plot of ground lying between
Young and Spicer avenues, the plot
