Haddonfeld Falls to Penns Grove

The high school football team
travelled to Haddonfield Tuesday af-
%ternoon and with a grand finish de-
feated that team by the score of 1870,
and thereby avenging Saturdays de-
feat.
When Haddonfield first made their
appearance the Penns Grove boys
slightly lost heart at their size but
o found that poor goods sometimes
come in large packages. The WISH
tors rushed in and with a few mighty
plunges by Mitchell soon had the bah
IN Haddonfield's three yard line but
then failed to have the punch to take
it over. Penns Grove kept the ball
in Haddonfield's territory for the re-
mainder of the half and once again
had the ball on the home teams three
yard line but Haddonfeld held,
The last half started with the
Penns Grove boys determined to do
or die. Haddonfield held for enc
quarter but then weakened. Penns
Grove now got it's forward passes
working and with three or four short
passes soon had the ball on their OPP
ponents eight yard line. Then with
another forward to Callahan, Penns
Grove vas six points in the lead.
With only four minutes left to play
Penns Grove took advantage of Had
donfeld's fumbles and by forwards
and line ,plungs got within a few
yards of the goal. 1t then fell to
Dolbow's lot to take it over, which he
did.
The Penns Grove boys now surpris-
ed themselves when Dolbow caught
one of H~addonfield's forwards and ran
thirty yards and was brought down
on the one yard line. Then johnson
took the ball over, but in doing so he
fumbled. Dickinson recovered the
ball and time was soon called. Penns
Grove departed in happier spirits
than when they first saw Haddonfeld.
Mitchell and Dolbow deserve credit
for the way they hit Haddonfeld's
heavy line. Callahan played a good
game at end and caught all the for
wards that came his way. Higgins
was the only one who could make
noticeable gains against Penns
Groves line.

THE RIGHT
BALL SEASON OPEN.
Penns Grove High School Lost
to Salem. Beat Haddonfield

The Penns Grove High School foot
ball team lost it's first game of the
season in a well played and hard
fought battle to the Salem H. S. team
last Saturday by the score of 7 to 0.
The high school boys started out
well and made Salem keep on the run
but later weakened some while Salem
strengthened. During the first quar-
ter the ball swayed back and forth in
mid-field. Neither side was able to
make any gains until Salem got their
trick plays working. Then for the
remainder of the game they made
most of their gains on trick plays.
1t was the third quarter that proved
decisive for Penns Grove. Salem got
the upper hand and soon pushed the
ball from mid-field to within ten yards
of the goal, with their tricks and
straight plays. There Penns Grove
held but all in vain, they were not
able to make any gains when they got
the ball. The Salem boys soon had
the ball and with a few plunges had
it on the three yard line. Murphy
then with a mighty plunge took the
pig-skin over for the first and only
touchdown. Ayers added one more
point by kicking the goal.
Smith featured for Salem and did
most of its ground gaining, while M.
Mitchell and Dolbow made gains for
Penns Grove. Everyone in general
played a good game.

,Ot TWO Nominations
The Contest For The Nominal
ton For Mayor The
Greatest Ever

For the past few years it has been
difficult to get candidates to stand for
Mayor and Council. Few wanted to
to take the time and burden of man
aging public affairs in these rush
times when so much is to be done at
greatly increased expense. But this
year there was the greatest rivalry.
During the past year the drug stores
and shops have been closed for the
sale of candy, ice cream and soda
water. Only restaurants were open.
Those who want an open Sunday
played their political favors irrespec-
tive of national party politics and had
the courage to open last Sunday. A
self-justification is made because it is
alleged that liquors are sold in speak
easies. The legal authorities declare
they are ready to act if those who
know the facts will swear to the evil
dence SO prosecutions can be made.
But back of the contest lay the old
party feud between the followers of
Taft, represented by former postmas-
ter Thomas h. Hunt, and the leader
ship of State Assessor Frederick A.
Gentieu, a former Roosevelt progress
i've, whose candidate is J.. Albert Fish
er, who came from Seaford, Del, and
has been a resident of Penns Grove
for many years. He has worked
many years in the Powder Works in
various positions and proved himself
very efficient in the management of
men as yard boss. During the past
year he has had charge of the DUPONT
farms. Last spring he moved his
family into the farm house on what
was formerly the Boone farm opposite
Plant 2. He claims to have retained
his legal residence in Penns Grove.
1t takes only five days to change a
legal residence from one municipality
to another in the County.
Mr.. Fishers friends claim he has
the personal courage to clean up the
s~peakeasies, if elected Mayor.
PENNS GROVES VOTE

Governor Edge has received a telegram
from Provost Marshal General Crowder
1t Washington dispelling the idea. which
had gained considerable circulation about
the State, that the Governor Of each
State was empowered to hear appeals in
exemption cases in connection with the
war draft. Gen. Crowder says that the
only power given the Governors is to
pass upon a very limited class OF cases
wherein the local exemption boards may
have proceeded in absolute error of the
conscription law. The Governor has no
power of review in individual cases.
