The basket ball season opened here
Thanksgiving as no doubt most of our
readers are aware, but the real excite
ment began Saturday evening, when the
much-talked-of Gloucester team met
defeat BY the score of 81 to 25.
There was nothing Of the pink tea !"
or III slap you on the wrist variety
about this game. 1t was give and take
from the start and everyone present got
their moneys worth of all kinds of
basket ball.
The Gloucester bunch had the two
fastest men from the Newport Naval
Reserves in their lineup, but this didn't
seem TO help much. cMahon was
kept so busy trying to cover Toby that
he found no time whatever to bother
about shooting baskets and John La
casse saw to it that Harvey didn't get
near the net often enough to do any
harm,
T0bys eleven baskets and Brennan's
eight were enough to win the game, but
Wright, Lacasse and Kruger were OF
the opinion that Every little bit added
to what you've got makes just little
bit more, and each shot a few, Just to
swell their averages.
After summing the whole thing up the
features that stand out most promi-
nently were Matthews spectacular
shooting, especially the piece Of legerde-
main carried out in connection with the
last basket and Skeets' jumping. He
outIumped Bonnie Vaughan all through
the game and this enabled the locals to
get in some of their team plays for
which they are now famous.
Jimmie DOran was in a rather playful
mood and his indiscretions added five
points TO the company's score, as II OF
the p fouls called on the visitors were
marked up against him.
Al the end of the second period the
score was II and II, and both teams
underwent some changes for the final APP
pearance. Wright and Brennan ex-
changed places and Vaughn and McMa-
hon were shifted on the visiting line up,
This change helped Gloucester some as
Vaughn proved to be blanket for Toby
not allowing him to score once. The WIS
itars scored IA points in this period as
against s and in the preceding TWO

Special attention is directed to the Off
clal notice found elsewhere in this issue, re-
iative to the registration and examination
of all stations or jacks offered or used for
public service in this county or State. The
new law, which went into effect on Sep
TENDER 1st, requires every stallion owner
TO secure license certificate, insuring pur-
ity Of breeding and soundness of conforma-
ton, for all breeding sires; failure to CON-
ply with this new law subjects the owner
to fine of $50 for the first otfense, and 500
for the second. and each subsequent offence.
Stallion owners should take notice and
comply accordingly.

meeting was presided over by Rev.
D. B. Harris. After the speeches had
been delivered local option league
was organized with Rev. D. B. Har-
ris, president; Frank Dare, vice presi-
dent; Rev. E. A. Robinson. secretary.
and William Kerns, treasurer. Satur-
day afternoon a very interesting meet
ing was held in the church. It con
sisted OF about a dozen ministers Of

tons, who We're called together for a
conference on the question of local op-
ton. Hon. ]. Frank Burke, superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League Of
New Jersey, E. H. Curtis, State or

Leagues representative in this coun-
ty, presented the work and purpose of
the League. Candidates Gaunt and
Hallock were present, but neither
would pledge himself to vote for
local option bill The debates were
classed as highly interesting, but, in
the main, good nature prevailed.
Harry Rulon is an ardent Bryan
man, but thought stress of business
would prevent him from hearing Mr..
Bryan on Tuesday Finding he could
possibly hear part of the speech he
caught late boat and as luck would
have it, Mr.. Bryan and his party were
on board. AS there were only about
two hundred on the boat, each had OBJ
portunity for a word and handclasp.
and Mr.. Rulon, among others, receiv-
ed an autograph card from Mr.. Bryan,
which he prizes highly.
