C. i * Millionaire Season | At Its Height! Mrunswlck, On., Murch k.?On ex-1 elusive Jekyll Island, where IMrate i lilackbeurd once cached his booty, the "hibernating" aeaaon for millionaires Is at ItH height. The semi-tropical Island, off the coast from here, has been the hideaway of some of the nation's business and Industrial stnlwarts since a group of them bought It fil years ago and formed the Jekyll Island club. Today the club's rules against unauthorized visitors are as strictly enforced as they were when the club began. Informality remains the keynote of life on the Island. The club president, .1 IMerpont Morgan, paused here recently, Just long enough to glance at the Island before he steamed off on his yacht Corsair for a cruise. Other oldsters of famed families of linanee are there now, basking on the beach, golfing over their ivluile! <our-e and motoring about the islands winding oyster-shell roads.

Nine times she j dropped the counter home, registering 1H points for her team In that period. Mary did not discourage the hopes of tho Camden rooters until the fourth and dual quarter and then she did go to bat with a two-barrel vengeance The game was a nip and tuck affair for three quarters. The first half ended with the score ti to 0 In fuvor of the visitors. Then In the second quarter Camden tied the count ut H S<1L Hut tha-t ended the scoring lor the locals while the visiting maids proceeded to go to town. There was some nice guarding by Captain l,ila Dixon and her sister, Lois of the visitors, It being so close that the Camden forwards were baffled in their efforts to put In a counter.

The writer, a sporting writer on a metropolitan daily for years, bus watched some of the foremost girl teams of the nation In action and I want to suy that if this McLeod girl follows this particular line of sport she is going to make the big time. She Is a natural on the maple floor. Shifty, quick as lightning, she combines these attributes with the ability to shoot the ball from every angle and do It successfully. To the credit of the Camden girls let It be said that they played hard and fast from start to finish but they were up against a team that h?3 been playing together for four years and had the floor work down perfectly. It wus the llrst year of play for the locals and believe me. they deserve credit for their efforts. 1 he boys game went to our home lads b> a lb to S count. This game started nut as if it was going to be a s^ent battle, the tirst quarter ending ' i" Hut Camden tinned on the I heat and when the final whistle blew they were on the top end of a 111 to M i "iiiit Tin; entire local team partici-1 paled in the counting but It was Lynch and Reeves who lead the parade in the assault on the hoop. I drifted down to the baby show Friday afternoon and saw the world's finest array of babies. Honest, those little tots were so cute that If 1 had been a Judge I would have awarded a first prize to every one of them. I had a sort of sneaky notion that the ticket Hetty Whltakor sold me on the cake lottery might provide me with ' something to go with my ice cream that night but Dame Fortune willed otherwise?so I had to go down town and drown my sorrow in a glass of coke. Sunny skies, a big crowd and a thrilling game. What moro can tru.e lover of outdoor sport demand.t And that is Just what was on the menu at Field No. 1 Sunday when the Town and Country polo teams clashed. While the Country four copped the game with a sensational goal shot by Watson l'omeroy in the dying seconds of an overtime period, there are many of the fans and fanettes who believe that the Town boys showed a wee bit more offensive class and should have ? opped the honors. We saw the Town boys miss five or six certain goals by inches during the pastime and two of the swats cracked the goal posts and bounded bark into the playing area. Well, we're not offering any alibis for the Tow tiers and it may be that when these same teams battle again next Sunday in a game played for sweet charity, this question of supremacy may be settled once and for all and without any chance for alibis.
