With the death of Capt. Martin E..
Trencbt Retired, u. S. Navy, on January
6, 19273fat Worcester. Mass, there pass
ed from the naval service one of its most
distinguished officers. Born in Mime
sofa in 1869, be was appointed to the
Naval Academy 20 years later. There
on account of his greas strength and
playing ability he became one of the
most prominent football players in the
United States and captained the Naval
Academy team. Two years after he had
been graduated from the Naval Academy
he was appointed assistant engineer,
serving as such at the New York Navy
Yard and upon the Inflated u. S. S.
Maine. Later he was ordered to the u.
S. S. Iowa and the Naval Academy as an
instructor, to the u. S.. S. Annapolis and
u. s.. S. Stevens. During the war a.
gainst Spain he served with distinction
upon the TT. S. S. Resolute. Like most
officers of that time he saw service upon
a great many ships, the Machias, Ban
croft, Topeka, kearsarge, Kentucky, Al
ALBANIA, Arkansas, Indiana, and the Ter
ry. his first command. AS assistant de-
tail officer in the bureau of navigation
in 1912 he was n0ted for his fairness and
the justice with which his recommended
tiOns and details were handled. Later
he served successfully as commanding
officer Of the Denver. Colorado pueblo
and St. Louis before going to the Wash,
ington Navy Yard as assistant super
intendent of the naval gun factory.
Throughout the World War he command

Subsequent to his detachment there he

Thomas Marsh, club stewardess,
and Leonard D. Algers, head of the
caddy committee, were in charge
of the arrangements for the affair,
which was made possible through
the generosity of the club mem
bers.
Dr. Fred w. Maroney, supervisor
of physical training and health in
the Atlantic City schools, addressed
the boys, stressing their RESPONSE
bility for the success of golf
games, and urging them to keep
physically fit at all times.
Typical Christmas favors were
distributed, and each boy present
was presented with a leather wind
breaker, a box of candy and an
apple. The wind breakers, essential
to the equipment of every caddy,
were secured through the efforts
of Mrs. Marsh. Many of the boys
received personal gifts this year,
one caddy alone receiving nearly
fifty dollars in gold.
In the midst of their celebration,
the caddies paused for moment
in silent memory of one of their
former comrads, John Conklin, who
was fatally injured last spring
when struck by an automobile
near the golf course.
The dinner was an expression OF
appreciation on the part of the
club members for the work the
caddies have been doing. Their
keenness and their interest in the
players they serve has brought
them much praise from men OF
prominence from everywhere in
the country who play on the North
field course. This praise is re-
Election on the work of Mr.. Algers,
whose labors on the caddy COM
mittee have resulted in welding
together troop of caddies equal
to any in the country.

U. S. Senator Edwards, Congress

Atlantic City is the second

Fuld, in the course of his speech.
Everyone comes here sooner or

will see your beautiful building,
