PENNINGTON At; DESLOGE 0

The F. H. S. football team journeyed
to Desloge last Monday afternoon and
there played the Desloge High School
term. The score was 47-0, in favor
of Pennington.
Several of the first team players
were out of the Pennington lineup,
but those that played in their places
rendered a good account of them
selves, as did the rest of the team.
This is the first year that Desloge
has engaged in football and they
should be commended on the showing
they made, considering their inexpe-
rience. They have some good mater
ial for team and are sure to develop
very creditablei team, with more ex-
perience. Dcsloge's back field mater
ial is especially promising.

Do They Analyze the Causes?

Certainly most owners do not examine the
causes which account for Essex performance.
When they tell you of it's bouyancy they DO
not, as a rule, explain that light weight pow
erful motor and rigid frame, all carefully bal
anced, is the explanation.
Nor do they mention mechanical construc-
ton when they tell you how easy it is to drive
the Essex, or how comfortably it rides.

The Diamond, 1915 Second ave-

O'Clock this afternoon.
The firemen only entered the
basement of the building where
there was a pile of kindling on fire.
They did not go up on the second
floor of the place.
Had they climbed up the stairs
they might have found evidences of
a blind pig and a gambling joint.
But since it is no secret among
loophounds, everybody might as
well know it. Recently the Diamond
has been running a blind pig and

OF the lawn in hopeful mood.
