BIG FIGURES FOR OCEAN FRONT
PROPERTY

In last weeks issue Of the Journal
the sale of a whole block Of ocean
front property along the boardwalk
was noted. The property referred to
comprised all of the buildings and
stores on the boardwalk lying or be-
ing between Glenwood and Maple ave-
nues and all of the lots on which these
buildings stand, together with riparian
rights. L. r. Yubas was the pur-
chaser at the alluring price of $135, 900
as given out. Dare Brothers nego-
tiated the sale for William Lipkin,
who was fortunate enough to buy this
same block last summer from the
Ocean Front Co. for the sum, it is said,
of Sis, 900, thus Lipkin cleaned up
$4,000 on the deal-not such an in
significant sum in these a~fter-the-war
times. Next!

WILDWOOD WINS SECOND OF
SERIES WITH MELVILLE

wildwood evened up the score in
the series between the w. A. G. and
Melville in the game which took place
in the Casino cage on Wednesday
evening, by winning with a 1924
score. The building was crowded
with the record crowd of the year for
the event, and everyone present left
saying "Best game l ever saw" Both
teams went in to win and they both
played a real exhibition Of basketball
from the start to the finish. AT three
times during the evening the score
was tied, but every time Wildwood
again swung into the lead and Mill
vile could not overcome the advan-
tage. Bingham, usually a star for
Millville, did not get one field goal
throughout the game. Esling's play
ing against him was responsible for
this, for Bill stuck to the big Boy"
throughout. He did slip aside long
enough to cage three tallies for Wild
wood, however. Delaney starred in
the scoring for Wildwood, netting 8
field goals.
In the preliminary the second team
were beaten by a team which called
themselves the "All Stars" A ros by
any other name, etc.
Tho scoraS were as follows.
