6 !. !. SHAW GOT
OFF WITHOUT FINE
He Stopped His Car on a
Crossing and Stepped
Out Of It.

Victor Shaw was brought before pc.
lice court this morning charged with
violating the city traffic ordinances.
He was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Policeman Carl Kern when he stop
ped bis car directly in front Of the in
terseCtion Of Main and Jefferson
streets and got out Of the car to talk
to young man who was standing near
by.
At court this morning Shaw who
was represented by his father, At
torney Harry Shaw, acknowledged
that he stopped his car In front of the
crossing, thus hindering the passage
of traffic. He offered as an excuse
the congested condition OF the traffic
at that point and said that he was
only out of his car for short time.
The Mayor informed young Mr.
Shaw that he had made fragrant vi
olation of the city traffic laws by
stopping his car in such position
that people going up and down Main
street would be compelled to walk
around it. But because this was his
first offense and because the violation
only lasted for short while the May
or dismissed the case without impos'
ing any fine.
Attorney Shaw then told the Mayor
that Il this son had violated the law
it was his duty as Mayor to impose
a fine but insisted that II such mi-
nor offence were to be punished that
the police force reread the city traf-
fic laws and see that some OF the more
important and more common violators
should be punished.

Fighting Spirit: of Long
Clues Central Big Victory

Spirit and pluck exhibited by Capt.
Jasper Long, of Central Highs re-
doubtable football machine, was res
ponsible in the main for a brilliant
6 to victory over Episcopal High of
Seminary Virginia, in the Central
Stadium yesterday.
With the score 8 to o against his
team. Long who had witnessed the
play in the latter part of the OPEN
ing half, refused to allow an attack
of malaria that had kept him con-
fined to his bed, several days prior
to the contest to interfere with his
presence in the game. Despite the
pleadings of those who accompa MED
him. he hurried to the dressing room
and donned a uniform. When he
made his appearance on the field at
the start of the second period. Cen
trail rooters cheered themselves
hoarse.
Young Long who has made his
presence felt in many a scholastic
game In the last two years, responded
nobly. He led his teammates in a
mad dash down the field for a touch
down that later furnished the mar
gin for victory. Shortly after the
teams lined up again for play. Long
tainted and was carried from the
field. His teammates. imbued with
the fighting spirit injected by the
presence even for a short period
of their plucky captain. succeeded
in checking the desperate efforts Of
their rivals during the remaining
period of play.
Episcopal scored shortly after the
start of the second period, after a long
run by Seward on a delayed pass and
of tackle play had Melted his team
40 yards. With their goal line threat
ened, Central's low-charsing linemen
proved a stone wall, and the tacklinS
of her ends was deadly. Seeing their
efforts toward gaining were to no
avail, Episcopal called on Left END
Rinehart for a drop kick.
The youngster dropped back to the
25-yard line and sent the pigskin sail
ing squarely between the bars.
Near the close Of the second period
Episcopal fought desperately for
touchdown. 1t looked as though she
might accomplish her end, until an IL
legal substitution brought about g.
yard penalty that changed the aspect
entirely.
Quarter Back Belknap proved Cen
trails most consistent ground gamer,
the little fellow repeatedly breaking
away for long runs. Wilson Macdon-
aid and Stansfield also showed often
sive strength. Butitwas on the defense
that the Clifton Street combination
shone. The line charged low, and
showed that 1t is possessed of unusual
driving power. Gerry and McKenny,
on ends, were as likely looking pair
as have been shown by Central in
years. Their tackling furnished as
pretty an exhibition as could be de-
eired Tho summary.
