bered Six for February Accor-
ding to Inspectors Record.

The month of February is reckoned
as the poorest one of all the year for
building operations, and that fact vas
borne out at Somers Point, when the
records of the Office of the Building
Inspector show but six permits issued
for the month. The total valuation
was only $3.50, and this vas $500
below the valuation of the operations
for which January permits were issu-
ed.
Point real estate men say that the
March record will show a decided in
crease, and that later in the spring
there will be a large number of hous-
es erected. Those who received per-
mits for February included the fol-

GREATEST YEAR
FOR BASEBALL
Local Winchester Dealer is sure
that 1928 will Top all
Other Years.
Baseball Week Coming

According 10 those who have watch
ed the growth of baseball, noted its
development year by year. this will be
the greatest in the history OF the
sport.
Walter A. Ennis, the local Winches-
ter dealer, is n of those who is very
optimistic over the future of baseball,
not only in this city but in the United
States. Said Mr.. Ennis:
Baseball has enjoyed its greatest
successes during the last three years
and it is my firm conviction that 1923
will make the fourth greatest. I do
not subscribe TO the criticism that
present day college athletics or pro
fessional sports are overdone. What
we have today is but the natural out
growth Of a nationwide system as
applied to physical culture and attn
Ietics.
we We're amazed at the outbreak
Of the wal at the high percentage Of
our young men who were physically
unfit for service. The Government de-
manded better men and then came the
universal response of compulsory ply
steal work in the school, university.
workshop and Office. We are reaping
the benefits today. There are more
persons engaged in the actual compe-
tition than at any other time in the
history of man, and for every young
man who played baseball prior to the
war there are 25 playing the game to-
day. This makes for better men and
a stronger nation. To my mind there
is nothing sounder in our country than
the remarkable development and pro
gress of all forms of health giving
sport, of which baseball is one Of the
best.
Millions of persons turned out to
witness baseball games last year. the
average attendance at the worlds Sc
ries games being in the neighborhood
OF 10000, but those who are interested
in the development of the sport ane
the youth and manhood Of our na-s.u
Believe ID Interesting Just as zny
persons in the sport as they can ana
for that reason a National Baseball
Week is conducted each year, which
in 1928 will be from March 81 to April
Z, inclusive. During this week every
dealer in sporting goods in the United
States is requested to decorate his
windows with baseball goods-and the
best windows will be awarded prizes
to talk baseball in his home town. 10
make an effort to organize teams and
leagues. or in other words to make
every effort TO put baseball over good
and strong.
we do not want to be behind the
rest OF the nation. so it is up to every
one in this city to do their best for
baseball. 1t is up to all of us TO build
up the teams n the morale. We
will cooperate with every one inter
ested to make baseball a better sporf
for every n who wishes to partiei-
pate. One does not have to wait for
baseball week to do a good job. There
is no time like the present. We want
to get boosters. as well as players, for
without boosters there would not be
much incentive TO play"
