A motor car owned by Henry G. Ham left parked on a public street for a short time Monday night was stolen and not found until three days later. A general alarm had been sent throughout the county by the sheriff. Chief of Police Harold Morouney located the car undamaged in a clump of bushes at Hogonack. A traveling bag, order book, and clothing had been taken from the car. Nothing else was missing, not even a spare tire. The bag and wearing apparel were worth about $35. When Frank C. Havens built a summer home at Bluff Point, Sag Harbor, he desired to anchor a whale ship off his premises. Capt. Fred Youngs was sent to New Bedford to procure a ship. He was unsuccessful. Mr. Havens' father had been a whaling master in years when Sag Harbor ranked second to New Bedford as a prosperous whaling port. At New Bedford in July, Col. E.H.R. Green and 81 other donors gave the old whale ship Charles W. Morgan as a museum ship. The vessel was embedded in a foundation of concrete to be preserved as a relic of whaling times. A record crowd witnessed the defeat of Thayer’s Cake Eaters by Ed Wagner’s and Old Man Chandler’s Freaks, score being 17 to 5. The large gathering cheered when Thayer headed his team to the field all decorated with red sash and red ties, but much unlike the Cake Eaters, they played good ball as could be seen by the score and not until the last man was out would they give up. Considering the small amount of baseball material the Cake Eaters had to pick from to get a team they did exceptionally well.
