Referee Defeats Penns Grove

The High School football team went
90 Salem Tuesday and was again de-
feated by that team In the former
game Penns Grove was Outplayed in
! clean game, but in Tuesdays game
we're rogued out of a touchdown by
the referees decision in the last min
ute of play.
Salem found Penns Grove off its
teet in the first quarter and with a
series of continuous plunges took the
)all from mid-feld to the goal line.
Then Thomas, the colored fullback,
plunged over for the only touchdown.
During the remainder of the half
Penns Grove was not able to get the
oall out of its own territory on ae-
count of the lack of team work.
The Penns Grove boys strengthen
ID in the second half and soon had the
oall on Salem's fifteen yard line, but
Ill was lost. Ayers got the bali and
started up a clear field but Dellett
With some fast running and q clean
ackle brought him down on Penns
irove's twenty yard line. Penns
Grove held Salem for the remainder.
If the quarter to do or die. With
iorwards to Dolbow and plunges for
,hree and four yards every time by
him brought Penns Grove within
wenty yards of the goal. There Sa-
EN- held, so a forward was tried to
Callahan, who caught it and fell a
foot over the goal. Then in about
i've minutes the referee came up and
said Callahan had crawled. But it
was impossible for Callahan to crawl
tor three men were either lying on or
against him. 1t WAS even admitted
~ Gn1N-o -
he ball was over the goal, but the
-eferee had given his decision and it
had to be taken, but not without a
nurmur.
= Dolbow deserves credit for most of
Penns Groves gains and tore up Sa-
LENS line for three and four yards
gain overtime, All Salem's backs
made good gains and the whole team
PLAYED a fine game.

The Greatest Game of Ball Ever
Played in Penns Grove

Last Saturday afternoon was play
ed the greatest game of ball ever in
South Penns Grove. Penns Grove
ball team, under the management of
I. Homer Leap, won nearly all the
games played and are the champions
of South Jersey. Not only of South
Jersey, but since they beat the Ath-
letics of the American League, the du-
Pont powder makers have won ma
tional fame at ball as we'll as world
fame al powder makers. The score
was 2 to 2 at the end of nine innings,
and in the end of the tenth Penns
Grove scored a run which was a grand
ending of the seasons playing. Attic
this team was composed of but
few of the regulars, on it were
men who had played the big leagues
and represented the Athletics,
There was a record breaking num-
Der of observers of more than a
thousand, persons who greatly enjoy
ed the game, The old time ball play-
ers enjoyed the high field hits and ex-
cellent fielding in catching and throw
ing.
The home team went into the game
rather nervous. With two outs and
what should have been a third, Penns
Grove let two men get on by errors
and one scoring. This lead wa
heightened in the third inning. Dut-
ton walked, went to third on an error
and home on a sacrifice. In thenext
inning the Athletics got at dangerous
quarters. Mack and Shawkey both
got singles and advanced a base Oh a
passed ball, and on second and third
they stayed, for Ogden showed some
fine pitching and struck out the next
three men.
Then came Penns Groves turn,
Fish, the first man up, got a two bag
ger and went to third on Cheeseman's
sacrifice. Hunter walked and with
two On base Stack buRted and beat it
out while Fish scored. Every one was
safe while the opposing team watched
the ball roll down the first base line.
Another run was added In the eighth,
thereby tieing the score. With two
out Ogden came to bat and hit a foul
to the right field foul line. The right
fielder touched the ball, fell all over
himself, and when he had collected
himself and found the ball, Ogden was
on third. Fish then came up with the
goods for a single.
The ninth came and went. Then the
last half of the tenth rolled around
Lugar reached first by a fielding error
but vas thrown out on a ielder's
choice but leaving Horner on first.
With two down Ogden came to the
rescue and won his own game with a
three Dagger to centre field and there
by scoring Homer.
Ogden was in fine shape and pitched
exceptionally good ball for Penns
Grove. He and Fish played a fine
game with the bat and seemed to be
the only ones able to connect with
Shawkey's balls. ShaWkey pitched a
good game for the Athletics but was
poorly supported by the rest of the
team.

CONSERVATION Of FOODS
Former Governor Fielder Gave
Wholesome Advice on Saving

The Government officials are send
ing speakers and organizrs to urge
all citizens to save foods. State,
County and local organizations are
being formed to get people interested.
Elmer H. Smith, of Salem, has been
appointed chairman of Salem County
Food Administration. j.. C. Packard
is at the leader in Penns Grove, and
Z. +. Wood in Upper Penns Neck.
On Wednesday evening former Gov
ernor James f. Fielder, of Jersey City,
spoke in the High School auditorium
at BIB and in Community Hall at 9.15.
There were about 100 present in
Penns Grove and 500 in the hall. Ros-
coe Wilson and his band furnished
music.
Gov. Fielder said in part: In this
great world war, undoubtedly, all feel
ike doing something. While compar-
ltlvely few can shoulder a musket or
lake an active part in the govern
mental organization, there is a wide
held for all to work at home to fur
nlsh supplies. For every man in the
army it takes four to furnish sup
plies. We must not only supply our
men in France, but also feed Euro
peans, who did not produce enough
iood before the war. From 40 to so
per cent. of foods were imported by
hem in times of peace. The exports
from South America are below ex-
pectations. AS the Allies are fight
ng our battles to maintain our liber-
ties and democracy we must feel it
our duty to do our best to sustain
hem.
Our government is not arbitrary
lor ~autocratic in debating the use of
foods, but we wish to inform the peo-
pie of the necessity of saving and get
hem to do their best from a sense of
duty. Our object is to get the people
alive to the seriousness of the occa-
sion, to make them think and act from
4 of duty and not wait for a
command.
Eat all you need wisely, but waste
1one. Cut out all unnecessary things.
The saving of n pound of bread a
week by each family will make one
hundred million bushels of wheat to

week is proposed. To make this a
success all persons must cooperate,
not only in the home, but in the hotels

cent. of all food pass thru women's
hands. To get them interested will

of committee of the New York pro-

The move was dictated, Mr.. Clay
brook said last night by fear of a flour

600 more in the same manner If neces-
sary, completely removes danger of
