TALL CEDARS SMOKER

The newly elected officers of the
Cape May County Forest of Tall Ced-
ars are swinging into their stride with
a vim, and if they carry out their
plans 1928 is going to be a banner
year for the forest in entertainment
qualities. On Friday night of last
week the first of a series of events
took place in the Casino hall. The oc-
casion was a smoker and over 600 OF
the Cedars and their friends filled the
hall. The program was so we'll ar
ranged that everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves and also the luncheon.
Some Is or 20 "saplings" were SER
cured during the evening and these
promise more fun for the ceremonial
to be held in the high school on We'd
nesday, January 31st. The success of
the smoker of last Friday evening was
so pronounced that it is the intention
of the officers to hold another of these
affairs for the Cedars and their friends
ON March 31st. Other interesting
events are being planned which in
clude a ladies' night on March 14th,
and a mammoth minstrel show to take
place on Easter Monday, April I'd.

the basketball encounters again shift

third game of the week and turned the
tables on the East End of Camden by
beating them by a one point margin.
The game was close from beginning
to end. The end of the first half saw
the visitors two points ahead in a

margin in the second half, however,

BOYS GET WARNING FROM JUDGE
ELDREDGE

"Why don't you go to school?" asked
Judge Eldredge of young William
Mack, of Woodbine, in the court ses-
sion Wednesday morning. "a girl
there makes faces at me-" answered
William, son of Stashek Mack. Judge
Eldredge smiled and murmured a few
words under his voice that sounded
like, Again it's the eternal woman"
williams excuse was not sufficient,
however, to please the Judge and that
! official proceeded to give the young
ster a good fatherly lecture in which
he impressed upon him that unless he
attended school regularly in the flu
ture that he would be sent to Railway
where education would be a forced
punishment on him. At this juncture
Prosecutor Cole interrupted Judge
Eldredge and said: Pardon me,
Judge, but isn't that the place where
they have gangs of boys out working
with a BOSS over them?" That's the
place." answered the official on the
bench. This short conversation was
enough to make young William decide
he preferred Woodbine and his home
to Railway and a "boss," and with a
promise of good behavior to Judge
Eldredge and a last warning he was
released. Young Benjamin Gergonsky,
about the same age and also from
Woodbine, now came before the Judge
on a similar charge of truancy. Also
without a sufficient excuse he was
given the same alternative by Judge
Eldredge, and deciding on going back
havior he, too, was dismissed by the
genial Judge.
In the Orphans Court Judge Ed
redge was confronted with the matter
of deciding on attorneys fees in con-
nection with the final settlement of
the estate of Georgiana Vance. Upon
request of H. Wynkoop, representing
the estate, E. w. Lloyd represented
the creditors of the estate. After
a short discussion this matter was
held up by the Court until final dis
tribution.
A conference now took place in the
back room during which the case of
the State VS.. Fannie May Brandt was
discussed and that party was released
under 500 bail.
The case of Abraham Gerson, trad
ing as the Liberty Chandelier Com
pany, VS.. Louis Melnicoff and Libby
Esther Melnicoff, was heard. E. w.
Lloyd represented the plaintiff and
c. A. Bonnell was attorney for the
defendant. Nathan Koshar, Abe Mel
nicoff, Louis Melnicoff and Abe Man
kin were heard on the witness stand,
and the court finally gave judgment
for the full amount of the bill in favor
of the plaintiff.
People in the county and also in
Philadelphia are a%nxiously looking
forward to the session of court next
Wednesday at which time sentence
will be passed on Sam Surman, Simon
Jaffe and Willie Jacobs and the others
found guilty in connection with the
Rosetta Shop robbery in Wildwood
last August.

WILDWOOD WINS SECOND TRI-
UMPH OVER CAPE MAY ON
LOCAL FLOOR

Wildwood won her second victory
over the Cape May basketball five on
Tuesday evening, when the A. C. team
met the rival resort aggregation in
the Casino before a crowd of rooters
from both cities. Cape May had
strengthened her lineup since the
trouncing of last week, but the addi-
tions proved of little use against Wild
wood and the defeat suffered was even
worse than that of the first game. De-
laney played the best game for the
A. c. team, while Scott starred for the
Cape May bunch. Batezel, the Eastern
League referee, OBLIGATED and again
proved the feature of the evening.
Very few fouls slip past this old vet
eran and he saw them on both sides
throughout the contest. In the pre-
liminary game the second team de-
feated the Nonpareils in a close game.
These preliminaries could be an in
teresting feature of the evenings en-
tertainment if handled right. With a
good referee these lads could set out
a very decent exhibition of basketball
playing and the result would be of in
terest to the spectators. AS the pre-
liminaries are now played with a ref
cree that does not know the rudiments
of the game there is little wonder that
the contest approaches nearer to the
football rules than it does to basket
ball. On Tuesday the game came neal
ending in a free-for-all fight between
the two teams. Such an exhibition
car be expected from a crowd of
school kids, but when it comes from
an assembly of boys that carry the
name of the Wildwood Athletic Club,
an organization that is supposed to
stand for clean athletics, it cannot
easily be passed over. The youngsters
who play these preliminaries show
good material and if handled right they
could be made an asset to the Athletic
Club. AS they are now managed they
are more of a ~detraction than attrac-
ton to the basketball nights in the
Casino. The scores and lineups in
the Tuesday night games were:
w. A. c., I'd N%Onpareils
Moore...... forward ....... Brown
(Onorato)
Nickerson... forward $3.50. Decatur

Cape May

Last Friday night was a big night
at the high school in basketball. Three
games were on the schedule and both
were successful for the local teams,
but the third and big game of the
evening, wherein the high school
quintette met the Girard Boys Club
from Millville proved unfortunate for
the local team and the Millville
boys CD went back to their homes
with a 1920 victory in their caps.
In the first preliminary of the even
ing the Sophomore Glass team suf-
fered defeat against the team of the
Faculty. The young boys played hard,
however, and the older professors had
no easy task in getting their 20-17
victory. The lineup of this game was:

Malley. ...... forward 49,. Crawford
Carter ...... forward 49,. Dennison
Harlan. ....... center Leigh
Daley. ........ guard 49,. Schnitzler

Gulick. ....... guard $50. Senekoff
In the second preliminary game of
the evening the local Junior Glass
team met the Junior Glass five from
the Middle Township High School of
Cape May Court House. The Wild
wood boys managed to get this game
in a 1929 victory, although the coun-
try lads put up a good battle. The
lineups we're:
Wildwood Jun. Middle Twp. Jun.
Kalbach..... forward 49,. Garrison
Albig ........ forward ...... Kimball
Tyler. center ........ Foley
Goldberg ...... guard .Tomkin
Mathis (Inglee) guard ....... .Gillen
Now came the big event of the even
ing. People who had looked on the
Girard Boys Club as being nothing
but "boys" and so an easy team for
u fast high school quintette, were
greatly surprised to see the visitors
come out on the floor. At first glance
it looked as Though the locals were
going to have an even harder time
than they did experience before the
end of the game was over. However,
the boys from the high school did their
best and the defeat cannot be alibied.
