National League Champion
ship May Be Decided in
Next Few Days

New York, Aug. l5.--With only four
End half games separating them for
first place in the National league pen
nant race, the Cincinnati Reds and the
New York Giants met to-day in the last
If series of three doubleheaders in as
many days at the Polo grounds. The re-
suit of to-day's games is expected to
have an important bearing ON the out
come OF the league race. A double win
for the western team will give it com
manding lead while similar success by
the New York club will put it within
striking distance of the league leaders.
An even break would leave the teams in
virtually the same position as at the
start Of the series.
In the four games played in the series
each club has won two games, three of
which were closely contested, resulting
in small scores. By heavy hitting in the
second game of yesterday, however, New
York defeated Cincinnati to after the
first game had resulted in 2 to | vic
tory for the home team in IA innings
Barnes and Benton probably will be
the pitching selections for New York to-
day, with Fisher and Eller for Cincin.

Physicians claim there is nothing that will
supply this deficiency so well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by
Il. A. Drown g. Co. in Barre and most all
druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction

reetly and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-

Board of FreehOlders
Continued from page l

Mr.. Borton presented a resolution
providing for the transfer of $4,000
from the .S44 ,256.57 in the Surplus
Revenue Fund to be entered in the ac-
count known as the Surplus Revenue
bills coming due before the adoption
of the budget. This was adopted.
The bill of Sutton and Corson for
S4 ,O62.34 on account of contract on
Malaga-Penns Grove road, Section 6,
was upon the approval and recommen-
ton of Engineer Sparks paid, subject
to proof of the payment of the claim
of Ebenezer Zane.
The Building Committee was in
structed to purchase a new recording
typewriter for the county clerks Of
flee and also to provide a suitable
desk in the Freeholder's room for En-
gineer Sparks.
Josiah Locke, who owns property on
the Pennsville-Penn Grove road, came
before the Board to ask that he be
given entrance to the grounds across
the ditch. Solicitor billiard stated
that the Board had no right to use the
taxpayers money for this
! The ditch was there before Mr.. Locke
purchased and he knew the conditions.
The Road Committee
The report Of the Road Committee
showed that the Elmer-Pole Tavern
road and the Shirley road had been
repaired at a cost of about $1,000 each.
The Penns CONGRATULATIONS road
has been dressed with gravel and the
Penns Neck Causeway with shells.
The report of the County Aims
house Trustees was read and accepted
and ordered published in the annual
statement. 1t showed receipts to the
amound of ~S12,466.27 and expendi-
lures of ~$11,485.43, leaving a balance
of $980.S4.
Mr.. Heron Wins His Point
1t was at this point that Mr.. Heron
brought up the matter of building the
mile of road between the Lower Canal
bridge and Plant 2 on the Penns Grove
and Pennsville road. There was con-
siderable discussion and a disposition
to put off the work until the summer
when the revenu from the State will
be due, but Mr.. Heron thought that
the county should do the work at its
own expense because the road was in
such a bad condition. Messrs Layton,
Brandriff and Gaventa spoke in favor
of the work and it was finally decided
to proceed with it.
Mr.. Borton called attention to the
necessity for rebuilding the road from
Woodstown to Pedricktown. 1t is one
of the worst roads in the county and
is also one of the most ued at the
present time. On his motion it was
finally decided to ask the State De-
partment for a survey to make it a
State road.
Mr.. Gray then called attention to
the fact that he had made application
for a survey of the Pittsgrove-Mon-
r~oeville road and Mr.. May said he had
asked for one for the Garden road.
Clerk Smashey found that these ap-
plications had been made back in 1913
and 1911 respectively and they were
also granted.
The Bridge Committee was ordered
to negotiate the purchase of a piece of
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-01-10
land at the Upper Canal bridge for

land at the Upper Canal bridge for
the keepers house.
Mr.. Gaventa, of the Coroners' Com
mittee had all bills for coroners SER
vices which he said were not right,
and he had consulted with the Solici-
tor. The latter stated that they are
not obliged to pay for embalming nor
for transportation to the Delaware
hospital. Some of the bills bore no
dates so that it was not possible to
tell when they were contracted. They
were left in the hands of the commit
tee and the solicitor.
The balance of the bill of Joseph F.
Burk of $3,078.33 which is SO of the
contract price for the road in Penns
Grove was ordered paid provided he
furnish a certified check for 5000 to
cover the Justice claim.
1t was decided to pay the bills for
the rentals of the polling places in
Penns Grove at S35 each, but not to
pay Theodore Powell one of the
l~essees, his claim of SIS for janitor
services
A resolution for the building of the
continuation of the Pedricktown-
Penns Grove road in Woodstown with
SNiiSI " oClilC OuIdDlc material was
adopted.
"A resolution was adopted which pro-
vides that before the road camp is di-
rected to build a road the township
committee be required to furnish a
certified copy of a resolution that the
township will pay 10 percent of the
cost, less the committees charge.
The bond issues for S125, 900 for
building the Malaga-Penns Grove road
We're rescinded by resolution and the
Solicitor was instructed to prepare and
present before the adjourned meet
ing the necessary proceedings for
raising by a bond issue a sum not ex-
ceeding 100000 to pay for the build
ing of the same road, sections 3, 4, 5
and Z.
The Board then adjourned to meet
on Wednesday, January 22d.
