ATLANTIC CITY, N. 1.-THE
Hydrangea Trail, winding its
way through southern New Jer-
sey seashore resorts, officially
opens today, and will continue
through the month of July.
The hydrangea is the official
flower of this and several other
area resorts.
Last evening the Hydrangea
Ball was held here with the
selection of a Queen. Each year
the ball marks the opening of
the trail which is travelled the
following day today by Off
Gals from the several resorts,
members of the Hydrangea
Committee and the new Hy-
drangea Queen, to make the
opening official.
The trail is marked by red
arrow directional signs. To fol-
low the route, the visitor starts
in this resort and travels south
through Ventnor, Margate,
Longport. thence along tn e
Ocean Highway or Drive to
Ocean City. After the drive
through Ocean City, the trail
continues down to Strathmere,
Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone
Harbor. North wildwood, Wild
wood Crest. Cape May and to
the southernmost tip Of the
State at Cape May Point.
Sometimes the arrows point
away from the Ocean Drive
and beautiful gardens are to
be seen with hydrangeas in
profusion. Always the arrows
bring the visitor back to the
Ocean Drive.
This year an added attrac-
ton to the trip is the changed
beachfront resulting from re-
building after the March storm
Of 1862. Protection against pos
sible future damage from the
ocean storms has resulted in
new sand dunes, bulkheads and
other defenses. In Cape May, of
especial interest Is the new sea-
wall and promenade. which was
dedicated last week during q
large Victory Over the Sea"
celebration.
If the visitor does not have
time to enjoy the tour as out
lined above there is a shorter
tour that also goes to Ocean
City but swings back to Som
ers Point. then Linwood. North

ONLY BY COMPARISON does the
NIL look good. These was no excuse for
the betting by Paul Hornung and Alex
KarraS, plus five Detroit teammates of
Karras In sense they had less reason to
try for extra income than the disgraced
Black Sox.
Baseball had more or less asked for its
scandal. The owners not only failed to en-
vision post-World War I boom in their
pastime, but they also had cut back In
niggardly fashion. They slashed the sched-
ule OF lS4 games to 140, introduced a cur
tailed spring training season, and reduced
player limits from rs to 81 men.
In his book titled THE Baseball Story"
the noted historian, Fred Lieb, wrote that
the owners also had reached "a secret
agreement 10 pare down salaries to con-
form with the expected poor 1919 season.
They soon we're 10 pay heavily for
this economy" Lieb noted
MOST IF NOT ALL Of the eight Black
sox blamed. or at least mentioned, those
salary cuts that were approved by the
owners at the winter meeting OF 1918. Joe
Jackson, who once hit .40s and had 1872
average In 1920 while justice was closing
In on him, drew a ridiculously low salary.
Eddie Cicotte, who had won 20 games In
1917, a dozen more In 10 and 20 during the
fateful year Of 10. openly rebelled against
the $4,000 salary he was paid, spelling out
the precise terms of his contract.
The NIL culprits, particularly Hornung,
scarcely could plead poverty. They broke
the rules at time when pro football had
reached q crest OF popularity and their
salaries were TO be envied by men in other
