THIRTEEN TO SEVEN
Capt. Ernie DepaIma's Boys Clean
Up on the Diamond

Nothing succeeds like a ball
game when the runs are coming
in. Capt. Ernie Depalma of the
Pleasantville Owls, was eminently
successful in an encounter against
Capt. Gene Walraven's Owls from
Atlantic City. The little argument
was batted out at Airport. At the
end Capt. Ernie counted up to thir-
teen, while the best that Capt,
Gene could do was to count seven.
This is only the third brotherly
meeting. There will be another to-
night which Capt. Ernie anticipates
with confidence. By-the-way. some
of the boys on Capt. Ernie's team
report that the Atlantic City play
ers must be something like the
Scotchman who was a little tight
on paying his bets.

KerWick
Howard Kerwick, the new man.
ager of Pleasantville's Stanley
theatre, the Rialto, has built a COM
plete model of the q. S. S. Con-
stitution, "Old Ironsides" that
played such an important part in
obtaining the freedom of the seas.
The model is over four feet long,
and so inches high. 1t is built on
scale of one quarter inch to the
foot, and is shown in full sail. The
model is complete and perfect from
the rigging to canonball-dented
sides and the. scratches on the
deck.
Mr.. Kerwick spent four years in
the construction of the ship, be-
ginning it on his retirement from
active service in the Philadelphia
Police Force, where he was known
for many years as the Artist Cop"
Much of Mr. Kerwick's knowledge
of ships comes from the fact that
he served as gunner in the
Spanish American war. Mr.. Ker-
wick has refused $500 for the
model.

Mr.. Reeves will endeavor to Sc
| cure the approval of the state high
way commission to the re-surfac-
ing of the Shore road, he declared.
AS result of his address,, the
board adopted a resolution asking
the commission to appropriate $751;
500, the county to raise similar
sum.
The Shore road paving operation
is about half finished. Prior to the
conference with the highway COM
missioner the Freeholders adopted
a resolution authorizing an addi-
tional work order to be given the
Standard Bithulithic Company,
which has the contract to furnish
LIPS tons of bituminous concrete
to place on the job at the unit
price of s21.94 per ton as quoted
in the original contract. This work
order covers ABOUT 70 per cent IN
addition to the original contract,
and involves an outlay of nearly
$25, 1000.
If the highway commission ap-
proves of this resolution the work
will be pushed along, and should
the commission approve of the
other proposals for state aid, the
balance of the paving will be done.
Mr.. Reeves, who was accompan-
led by Edward Read, assistant
state highway engineer, declared
that the state highway commission
was burdened because of the great
road building program it had to
carry out the next six years. Most
of this, he declared, would have to
be done in North Jersey, where,
