FOOT BALL.
Pleasantville Eleven Open Season AT
Mays Landing By Winning Hard
Fought Contest 7-6.

Pleasantville was successful in its
initial appearance on the gridiron
Saturday afternoon in defeating the
Mays Landing team at the County
Capital grounds by the score of z to 6.
Both teams fought hard the first
two quarters without scoring, most of
the playing consisting of straight end
and tackle runs.
In the third quarter the Mays
Landing team by a nicely executed
forward pass secured a touchdown
from near the 30-yard line, but failed
to kick the goal.
The balance of this and the fourth
quarter were then hardly fought by
the two teams and in the last three
minutes of play, Pleasantville by an
equally brilliant trick, criss-cross run
around left end found Mays Land
ing's goal for touchdown.
Zippler, who carried the ball across
the line, then kicked the goal win
ming the game by one point.
The Pleasantville aggregation was
composed as follows:
Left end, Shewell; left tackle, T.
Long; left guard, Johnson; centre,
Biggs; right guard, Helfrich; right
tackle, Erickson; right end, Barkoff ;
quarterback, Zippler; left halfback,
Monroe; right halfback, Stephenson;
fullback, Wootton.

ELSIE FERGUSON
COMING TO APOLLO.

Elsie Ferguson will be seen at the
Apollo Theatre the latter three days
of the coming week in a new play by
Hubert Henry Davis, the author of
"The Mollusc," "Cousin Kate" and
other successes. His newest play, in
which Miss Ferguson will be seen is
entitled "Outcasts."
There will be a rather odd manage
ment attached to this venture, fin that
the advertising matter will read:
"Charles Frohman, Klaw and Erlang-
er present the star"
This is accounted for in the follow
ing: Miss Ferguson is under the man.
agement of Messrs. Klaw and Erlang-
er and Charles Frohman owns the
play which was brought from abroad
Both arrangements agreed that the
combination of this star in this par
ticular play would surely spell sue
cess. Mr.. Frohman would have no
other star play it and neither would
he let anyone else produce his play.
SO Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger allow
ed Mr.. Frohman to use their star in
the play providing they would have
half interest in the play and Charles
Frohman the other half interest for
owning the play. This is something
that has been unheard of in the ar
chives of the theatre during the past
decade.

BANKRUPT is CONVICTED.
Found Guilty With Sister, of Conceal
ing $4,000 in Assets.

Abe Lipman, a bankrupt dry foods
dealer, formerly of 418 Market street
Philadelphia, and his sister, Annie
Solotist, who is the wife of a Jewish
Rabbi, were convicted last Fridav in
the United States District Court of
fraudulently concealing assets valued
at upward of $4,000. The jury was
out about half an hour and brought in
a verdict of guilty as charged with no
recommendation to the mercy of the
court. Whereupon Mrs. Solotist fain-
ted dead away creating some little ex-
citement in the court room.
Sentence was deferred pending the
disposition of motion for new trial,
and the defendants were placed under
bail of $4,000 each.
Many of our Pleasantville people
will remember that Lipman was the
owner of The United Cut-Price Dry
Goods Store at 49-51 North Main ST.,
this city, and when he went bankrupt
in Philadelphia, Nov 1st, 1911. he
tried to keep his creditors from taking
this store by claiming he had sold it
to his sister, who in turn claimed own
ership. This case was pending in the
bankrupt courts for fifteen months be-
fore the case was disposed of. and
since that time has been in the De-
partment of Justice and Bureau of
Investigation in connection with the
United States Court, and according to
their agents, Lipman shipped large
quantity of merchandise shortly be-
fore bankruptcy proceedings were in
stituted against him, and while he was
insolvent, to his branch store in Pleas
antville 1t was alleged that Mrs.
Solotist aided Lipman in concealing
the goods, which were later disposed
of.

PRINTERS UNION TO A MAN
FOR WHITMAN.

Under the head Atlantic City, the
October issue of The Typographical
journal, the official paper of the In
ternational Typographical Union of
North America, has the following:
"That No. 377 will be indirectly
represented in the state legislature at
Trenton next winter is a foregone
conclusion. Mr.. Bertram E. Whitman,
after many urgent requests from his
friends, consented to be candidate
on the republican ticket and had no
opposition for the nomination, and as
nomination is equivalent to election
he is sure to go to the house. Mr.
Whitman is not a member of our To-
cal, but he acts in the capacity of
manager of the plant of S. E. Whit
man & Sons, in Pleasantville, the
father, by the way, is vice-president
of No. 377. He also has brother in
our local, and his office is unionized
throughout We tender our congrat-
ulations to Mr.. Whitman, who will nc
doubt poll every Democratic vote in
the local union"

WOODS AGAIN TO THE FORE.
Is Producing Kick In at Apollo
with John Barrymore and
Star Cast.

The announcement of a new play
to be presented by Manager A. H.
Woods, is always of interest, for Mr..
Woods has contributed more than any
other man to the Importance of At
lantic City as theatrical center this
season. Mr.. Woods brought to this
city since the beginning of the sum-
mer season potash and Perlmutter,"
"The Yellow Ticket Douglas Fair
banks in He Comes Up Smiling"
Julian Eltinge in "The Crinoline
Girl Lew Fields in "The High Cost
of Loving" Pauline Frederick in en-
nocent," John Mason in "Cornered"-
and now he is presenting at the Apol-
10 the greatest play of the year
"Kick In," remarkable drama of
New York life, by Willard Mack.
The all-star company includes such
brilliant artists as John Barrymore,
Jane Grey, Josephine Victor and 9TH
ers of equal note, and "Kick In" goes
from here directly to the Longacre
Theatre, New York, for run. With
Douglas Fairbanks, Lew Fields, John
Mason and Pauline Frederick already
in New York, the Metropolitan pre-
miere of "Kick In" will make Mr.
Woods the only manager in the his
tory of New York theatricals who has
had five frst-class plays running
there at one time.
While the play deals in a measure
with the underworld, there is no real
criminal on the Stage. The police
characters are as human as they are
ambitious, the story is thrilling with
out being shocking, and, in painting
his wonderfully realistic pictures the
artist has mixed his colors freely with
the oil of humor, for there are many
laughs as well as thrills in this re-
markable play.
Friday and Saturday evenings of
this week, with the usual popular
matinee Saturday afternoon.

DIAMOND BACKS GALORE.
Over A Hundred Found at the Home
of Risley Giberson.

Escaping from Game Wardens Lo-
der and Mathis, Risley Giberson, an
aged resident of Port Republic, fled
into the woods surrounding his home
on Thursday of last week, and all eff
forts SO far to locate him have proven
futile. Giberson was caught with
having one hundred and thirteen "dia-
mond back turtles in a hidden cellar
beneath his home. He was placed un-
der arrest. While Warden Loder and
City Marshal Stieff of Egg Harbor
were in the cellar gathering the tur-
ties, Giberson ran from the room and
escaped into the woods.
Pursuit was given but after dill
gent search he was still at liberty
Until late Friday night no trace of
him could be found and it is thought
that realizing the severe penalty that
in all probability would be imposed
upon him, he has committed suicide
in the woods. The law calls for fine
of $40 on the full size diamond backs
and fine of $50 for each of the tur-
ties under four inches in size.
Twenty Of the turtles found in Gil
berson's hiding place We're below the
four inches, while the rest were of a
iesi : Si oizSt illCdOiC at PLO. Lie Gil
tire fine for the turtles found would
total almost to three thousand dollars.
Giberson had constructed an ingeni-
GUS hiding place for the turtles. A
trap door underneath a couch, and
covered with carpet led into a secret
cellar, adjoining another cellar in the
home.
Game Warden Loder had received
word that diamond backs were being
Illegally caught and after considera-
BILE investigation arprehended Giber-
son. The season for these turtles
opens on November 1st. They bring
a very fancy price and had Giberson
not been caught he would have realiz-
ed a small fortune in the sale of them.
Giberson is about 65 years of age and
has followed the river and bay for
manV wears

MINSTREL TRIO.
Three Blackface Artists AT Keith's

One of the best minstrel trios that
have appeared in vaudeville is that
of Coakley, Handey and Dunleavy,
who are at Keith's Theatre this week.
Usually Minstrel shows find it ne
cessary for full half circle of black
face artists; but this trio have such
an unusual amount of wit, humor
and stories, coupled with their songs,
that they have dispensed with the
larger aggregation and keep the audi
ence amused for the entire time they
are on the stage.
Their stories are classics. A one
line idea is embellished and worked
up into humorous story punctuated
with wit and cleverness. 1t is not
in which it is told that makes them
the hit they are registering this week.
Stories, however, are not the only
bright feature of their offering, for
the dancing is exceptional. Dancing
that brings back the old time days of
George Primrose, who was at one
time conceded to be the best "soft
shoe" dancer on the stage.
Not the least Of their work are the
songs, "The Land of My Best Girl"
a stirring march song, whose martial
time and bright lyrics finds ready
acceptance in the vaudevilleite. 1t is
particularly apropos on account of the
confagration now under way in Eu-
rope. Another song which made a
hit when it was sung by them for the
first time was Handey's "The Songs
My Nanny Used To Sing" This
grooming Southern song bids fair to
be hit also.
A novel opening is provided for the
minstrel act when the trio enter from
the Auditorium, step to the stage and
after the opening song Overture )fur-
tamho hits of wit

NOT PAINT

With linseed oil at SOC. to 81, what
sort of oil do you think they use in
"paint" at $3.50 and $1.25?
That stuff is commercial paint. You
can cheat yourself; you can't cheat
Time or Weather.
Paint is rubbery coat over wood
and iron to keep-out water.
Counterfeit paint may look like it;
counterfeit money looks like money.
What are counterfeits for? They
are all alike.
