RESORT PASSERS MET ON FLOOR
IN ATLANTIC CITY SCHOOL
High School Play Four More Court Contests After VOca
tional Canes. ]. Tournament Starts March
in Camden-MaroOn Favored

The Boys Vocational school of
Attlantic City, the only team
which succeeded in beating out
q the High school basketball five on
Tits own floor, is the Maroon's op-
ponent tonight as Coach Jack
4 Ellingsworth's five makes its way
10 Atlantic City to play a return
contest in the resort quintets
gymnasium.
e Considering the records of both
teams, the game is one of the
most important on the Maroon S
schedule. Vocational is considered
the strongest team in South Jer-
sey with victories over Atlantic
City High school and practically
every other South Jersey team of
any calibre excepting Wildwood,
{ which team succeeded in beating
out the resort boys at Wildwood
last Friday night.
Wildwood, however, had been
defeated by the Vocational five in
game played in Atlantic City.
To give the resort passers a set
back in their own court would
be on of the biggest accomplish
ments that the Maroon passers
could boast of when the season
had finished.
The game will bring together
Two captains who are fighting a
long fight for scoring honors
among the schoolboys of South
Jersey. Captain William Green
and Captain Pee Wee" Davis
continue in the lead, having
scored more points than any other
two players Both are great play
ers, and thte mainstays Of their
respective teams.
Coach Eilingsworth's squad is
in fine condition Bradley. who
watched the game from the bench
as Ocean City High school was
trimmed Monday night, will be in
condition to play, and will start at
his old guard position. Stan
Saracinsky,. his running mate,
vii have the other back floor
position.
Captain In Green will again
jump. while the forward posts
will be cared for by Paul Terry
and Bob Miller, who have proved
themselves beyond all doubt the
best that High school has when
it comes to tossing them through
the net.
Grasso, Martin and MacMane
might have chance to get into
the game if any of the five first
string men become disabled.

JOSEPH w. WALKER.

The basketball team which is
playing for High school this year
is, without question, one of the
greatest to ever represent the
Maroon in the cage or on the
court Its record, one of the most
impressive ever made, clearly
proves this.
But is has another claim to
such title. Every man on the
team plays for the team, and not
for himself There is no attempt
10 cut down q mans scoring to
better ones own average, a prac-
tice which former high school
players have been guilty.
The team is more balanced
than any team we remen-
Der that has played for the
Maroon has been. Every
player puts up fine exhibit
ton. There are no weak links
in the chain.
Until Coach Jack Ellingsworth
. placed Miller as running mate
for Terry at the forward berth,
there seemed to be one weak link
in the chain Although Miller is
not playing the game he will play
az he gains experience, he is
proving himse1 a fine forward
and conner. Terry veteran of
the court game, has always play
ed clever game.
Stanley Saracinsky and Jack
Bradley have proven themselves
the best pair of guards that have
played the game for the Maroon
in some years. Capt. William
Green is the mainstay of the five.
S playing fine passing, defensive,
and more important, scoring game
And the men who have not
seen their names in the start
ing lineups every game have
been there also. Grasso, Mar
tin, "Bob" Green. and Mac
name have played as good a
game as the regulars on
various occasions.

 He held a telegram in his hand. The eyes of the twins followed it's yellow color as he gestured and he saw the curiosity on both faces.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine
 In large cities most of the great motion picture houses now provide nurseries and payrooms in which children may be allowed to remain while the mother breaks the drud- gery of her day by relaxation through watching the tolls and trou- bles of her favorite heroes and hero ines.
 Most Of the large movie empo- riums provide nurses who are in charge of these parking places.
 The difficulty is, of course, that the child under such circum- stances comes in contact with many other children who may be suffering with all sorts of coughs, colds, or minor complaints, not se- rious in the individual case, but easily transmitted to others with lower resistance.
 Carrying the Baby
 In many small communities, how ever, the motion picture house is not even provided with a parking place for baby carriages, so that trip to the movies means carrying the baby in some public convey ance for a considerable distance, and then holding it and attempt n n kpnr, ltoh hp an exhibition of the films.
 In an attempt to keep the child quiet, it is usually seduced with popcorn, ice cream and candy, which tend to pervert its appetite and to ruin its desire for the le- gitimate food due it at a proper time.
 Sometimes harm results be- cause of the fact that these things as purchased under the circum- stances recounted are not in a san- itary condition.
 While the temperature, ventila- ton and sanitation of motion pie ture houses is excellent today, both because of public inspection and because of the realization by the manager that only proper ven tilation and sanitation will con- sistently attract the public these things are provided primarily with the comfort of adults in view, and not that of infants and children. The dust and draft that may make little difference to a grown up may be of serious import to the infant.
 Leave Them at Home For numerous reasons 1t Is lest that babies, particularly those under one year of age, be not talk en to q crowded motion picture house.
 By leaving the child in capable bands, the mother will have in creased joy and relaxation during | her diversion, the other persons ir the motion picture house will be relieved of the annoyance of a cry | ing child. and the baby certainly will benefit more than all by pro- | tection against the hazards of the l trip.

Quicksands of Love

only sound was that of her some what heavy breathing. and I made the mental note to give her some simple remedy for her apparent cold the next morning. Lillian shrank behind as we approached the bed, and I realized that if Mary awak- ened would have 10 evolve some plausible excuse for our being in the room.
 Mary Sleeps
 But Mary did not awaken. She lay in her customary attitude, curl- ed up. child fashion. almost in a ball, her curly bobbed hair almost hidden in the pillows. Lillian came to my side, bent over her, listening to her breathing, and scanning what she could see of her face in the faint light coming from the private stairway. Then she nodded as if sat- isfied and turned back to the stair case. When We were safely back in comment.
 You ought to give her something for that cold in the morning." she said.
 T made up my mind to do 1t when l heard her breathe,' I re- turned, and there was no more talk of Mary that night.
 But that Lillian was carefully pondering some problem which troubled her, I knew, although of course I could not be sure that Mary entered Into it. But for fully m hour before she went to bed. my old friend sat silent, with elbows on her knees and her chin cupped in her supporting palms. And when l finally drifted off into slumber it was with the disturbing conscious ness that she was still awake. Copyright, 1927, by Newspaper Feature Service, Inc.

 Mollie ventured. a little timidly: "Perhaps it will be very tiresome for Mike"
 If 1t is," said Prof, "Mr. Clayton has & job down in Indianapolis that would fit Mike like a glove"
 "Yes. sir" said Mike, and now l want to see Jim. It's been a week since I've had good look at him.
 80 that's why Mikes coming along with Jim." John Clayton was explaining to his nieces. T wired the young man myself and this is his reply"
 He exhibited it. The twins read: Absolutely and much obliged. Mike Hennegan."
 And now" said John Clayton. that Freddie has been disposed Of 50 nicely and you're all ready to go tomorrow, want you to kiss me good night. must go out and ] shall De late. Remember. now" he added hastily, don't throw any shoes" ....
 They kissed him and he moved on. The butler helped him on with his coat. handed him his hat and closed the door behind him.
 Now" said Rusty. we'll tell Martha Dalton and then forget all about Freddie. Perhaps she'll get a laugh out of it."
 Martha Dalton most certainly did. Until, she very nearly cried.
 How we'll I remember" she said, "the night you two and Jim sneaked into my house for supper because you didn't want to exhibit Jim's black eye with the beefsteak on it to AIollie and Prof. That was the day that Rusty threw the croquet ball. My dear, please don't go in for bombs"
 Up in Bellevue hospital the room which had been occupied by Jim FL we'll for several weeks was now vacant. That day he dressed him. self, assisted a little here and there by Prof. and then walked out. A little weak, Jim was still, but get ting stronger every day.
 That night Dr. Lawson, sitting alone in his study in fashionable Park avenue apartment, was con- tempIating the uncertainties of the medical profession. He thought of Jim Elwell and Moliie and Prof, s1d a puzzled little frown creased the skin above his eyes. He tapped with his pencil on the table.
 That same night Nellie Downing. suddenly confronted with the reflec- ton that she had not seen Jack Nevin for a week now, called up the city room of the Planet.
 Presently he was on the wire. Yeah? This is Nevin."
 This is Nellie Downing, Jack
 hOh. By golly it's good to hear your voice again. Haven't seen you in a month"
 "A week" she corrected.
 "Is that all Seems like a month, anyway. Could 8 fellow call tomor- row night? It's my night off,
 A fellow could, it seemed.
 By the way, Jack. I called you up to tell you I was prepared to make amends.
 Amends? What do you mean?'
 You remember that once cheat ed you out of a good story?"
 Well, cheated was hardly the word. I remember paying my re- spects to a lovely pair of eyes,"
 Behave. Tomorrow night. when you call, Jack, I'll have another story for you--much better than the first. With pictures and everything

In fact, he managed to keep only jump or two ahead of Bowser. Then he headed straight for the dear Old Briar-pAtch. And as he ran. he chuckled.
 Good old Bowser!" said Peter to himself. He hasn't the least idea that he is protecting me. But that is what he is doing. Yes. sir. that Is just what the old fellow is doing.

 "I want to make a bargain with you" Lillian said when we had reached my bedroom upon our re- turn from our evenings outing. But bargain isn't the right word. It's straight favor I want to ask.T
 Granted before asking" l told her, smiling.
 "Oh, I know that" she said, but think you'd better know what you're up against for all that. l want 10 prowl around this place on lay own tonight and tomorrow. with TO questions asked as to why I'm snooping,'
 "No one even shall look in your direction" I promised her.
 "All right" she rejoined. Lend me q kimono and some noiseless slippers and get a similar rig your self"
 She youchsafed no reason for her direction, nor did I ask her any, al- though queer, fantastic intuition told me why she wished them. And when in my room we had changed from our evening gowns to the neg ligee, she made my little premoni- ton come true.
 In Mary's Room
 T want you to take me mp to SEary's room," she said. T want to see her asleep if possible. so don't even breathe if you can help it. We can go up the private stairway, can't we?"
 "Yes," I returned, for the stair way ran between my room and Mary's. and the doors between were never locked.
 Come along then" she said, and the next minute we were creeping nolselessly up the dimly lighted stairway.
 Inside the young girls room the
