Clinton further strengthened it's hold
on the Manhattan honors when it rout-
ed Morris High School by score of ~
to Saturday. This marked the Red
and Black boys second victory in the
title series, for they previously had de-
feated Stuyvesant by "a to 0 tally.
The only boulder in Clnton's path for
the championship is the High School of
Comgerce eleven, which it meets on
Thanksgiving Day at the Polo Grounds.
Commerce students are none too
sanguino for victory over Clinton,
although their team showed improve
ment in downing Stuyvesant on Satur-
day by II to 0. Stuyvesant outplayed
its rivals during the first three quar-
tiers, but weakened badly in the final
period Even then the Commerce backs
had great difficulty in scoring touch
down on straight football, it requiring
three plunges to gain one foot for the
tally.
Although Clinton found Morris an
easy proposition, the Red and Black
players mussed up many Of their plays
through overcontidence. Fortunately
these lapses came during the final quar-
tered four touchdowns.
Brooklyn Prep is also a claimant to
the title in the City of Churches, as it
has not met defeat this season. How
ever, Poly has stronger claim, for it
mas not been scored upon, while Brook
iyn Prep has a touchdown registered
against it by Erasmus Hall
Nothing surprising was furnished in
the games between the Brooklyn
schools OF Saturday. although Poly
Prep WAS not expected to run UP the
Bag total OF Il to with Manual Many
schoolboy followers had come to the
conclusion that Manual had finally
found itself as it held Erasmus Hall
to 8 3 to 0 score last week.
Boys High forced Erasmus to play
at its best to win by to O. the touch
down coming only in the final minutes
Of play. Boys High played equally as
strong a game as it's rivals, who almost
constantly called upon Boohecker and
Hsasnoot. their two star backfeld men,
to carry the ball.
Brooklyn Prep downed New Utrecht
by Is to Q. but the losers forced George
Smith, The Prep captain. to get into the
game. II was planned not TO use
Smith, bat ne entered the game late in
the second quarter. after New Utrecht
had outplayed its rivals from the start.
Flushing High School remained 'dle.
as St. Pau's Cancelled its scheduled
game. and the enforced rest will do the
Flushing boys considerable good for
their important game with Brooklyn
Prep next Saturday. Flushing will be
the strongest team that Brooklyn Prep
has faced this season.

Fight BOlshevism
With Christianity.
Says Bishop Burch
of Radicalism Laid
to Failure of Americans to
Recognize Unity Among
Foreign-Born Population

Failure of the American people to
kind among the foreign born popula-
ton is responsible for the growth Of
Bolshcvism and kindred evils in this
country, Bishop Charles Sumner Burch.
the recently elected Bishop of New
York, told large audience at the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine yes
terday.
The previous failure, the Bishop said,
was the result Of an Appalling neglect
Of great and impelling duty whicn
was now forced upon US by che press %
circumstances. He urged "a first CT
fort to combat s;lv meracc which had
thus been raised closer application Of
the principles Of Christianity to the
affairs of everyday life. Shorter hours
and more pay alone would never sat
isfy, because material things alone bad
not the power to bring happiness.
Only the power of Jesus Christ can
overcome the unrest OF materialism," ;"
Bishop Burch said
He said also that a special duty was
laid upon the Episcopal Church in this
work because Of the appeal which the
Episcopal Church had to the foreign
born resident, and he quoted statistics
to show hat the Church had neglected
its opportunities for the advancement
OF Christianity among the foreign born
population.
In this connection Bishop Burch
took occasion to deny the report which
lie said had been made in the press,
that he favored campaign for the
proselytizing of Jews in America.
That is not true" he said The
Bishop of New York has never advo-
Gated the proselytizing of the Jews
But l have always advocated the ex
tending of q hearty welcome to thuse
of the Jewish race who have como to
us, haulnG no church home, and WI 0
have expressed q desire TO embrace our
faith. There are few Of them, ind ,cd,
although there are many Jews who are
outside tfeir own faith. and have NJ

ity Of many Jewish rabbis that 40
per cent. Of the Jews in New York
do not attend their synagogues"
The Rev. Thomas j. Lacey, rector Of
tne ChuTch OF the hedeemcr, Brooklyn,
said a splendid work already had been
done among the foreign born popu-
lation, which should be continued in a
spirit of Christian interest

Government to Stop
Savings Stamp 'Scalping'
Thirteen Men Are Arrested on
Eight Warrants; More Raids
Are Planned

The sternest sort Of measures will
be taken by the government TO stamp
out War Savings Stamps "scalping,"
charge on which thirteen men are
under arrest here. United States Com
missioner Samuel NJ. Hitchcock de-
elared yesterday. Commissioner Hitch
cock issued the eight warrants upon
which the thirteen men were taken.
More arrests are expected today.
hearings will be held on Novem Der 90
The local arrests were preceded BY
similar raids in Chicago and other
cities, Commissioner Hitchcock said
and are part Of nationwide move
oy the government TO end an offense
which technically is the same az
forgery or counterfeiting. The wors.
aspect of the case, he said, is that the
persons arrested, all of whom had
plenty of money and were able TO
furnish 1000 bail at once, are prey
ing upon patriotic persons Of small
means.
at takes ten days for the govern
'N"I W e"oil w HI Savings StAInJ
certificate, said Mr.. Hitchcock. "The
scalperr finds some poor person who
must have money Immediately. The
sscalper buys his SIS War Savings Stamp
book at a large discou- t, efases the
original buyers name, substitutes
another and then sells or cashes in
the stamps at large profit. Since
only the buyer can legally redeem the
stamps, the scalper is guilty of alter.
ig government obligation.'
According to James W. Osborne
Assistant United States Attorney, who
IS prosecuting the cases. more thar
81 100000 worth of government stamps
are illegally bought and sold in thi.
city every month against month IS
sale by the government Of 100000 tc
100000 stamps
Captain John s. Tucker of the secre,
Service, who furnished the evidence
on which the arrests were made, is
working on the theory that in addition
to fraud in the purchase Of stamps
from hard-pressed owners, the leaders
OF the project have secret printing
press for counterfeiting stamps
