OFFICER FOUND
A CRAP GAME
Report is Enforcing Vice
and Morality Act,
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

special 10 inc HTRNlNo " W6
Keyport, July 30:-During one of
the rounds of Officer George Mason
Sunday afternoon in the vicinity Of
the Cutlery baseball field to appre-
bend Sunday ball players, as he was
instructed by the borough council in
enforcing that section Of the vice
and morality act of the state laws
which prohibits Sunday ball playing,
he happened near the woods in the
rear of the Greengrove cemetery in
time to surprise a gathering OF if-
teen or twenty youths and men who
were engaged in an interesting crap
game. The officer vac discovered
about the same time that the crap
shooters attracted his attention. I'M
mediately the gathering made one
big rush in all directions, the entire
party escaping in the woods.
This particular form of vice has
frequently been brought to the Dor
ough officials attention by those OPP
posed to this open house specimen of
| crime, but as no individual had back
bone to stand by his convictions in
the matter, the crap shooting pas
time has been INDUCED in by its de-
voices for some time past, along the
shore front, along the railroad tracks
and in the vicinity of the place men
toned.
1t is now probable while the off,
GERS are instructed to enforce the
law regarding the application of the
| vice and morality act as applied to
| Sunday baseball playing, they will
also keep an eye on the little crap
shooting parties, which will undoubt-
eddy greatly diminish this form of
| vice in the community.

port Labor Day.
spsoial to the EVENING NEWs.

Keyport, July 80.-Plans are b.

committee of the Keyport Yacht
Club for attractions at that place on
Labor Day. The ideas advanced
are to hold swimming races, canoe
races and other varieties of water
sports and probably some land sports
will also be INDUCED in.
Owing to the large number OF
neighboring yacht clubs who are pre-.
pairing to hold regattas on the holt
day, it would not be possible to get
out of town entries for sailboats
or motor boat races, so the change
in the character of the usual yacht
club entertainment will be tried.
If the plans are adopted there will
be some spirited contests mons the
younger members as the member
