NEALRS TEAM
ESCAPES WITH
LUCKY BATTLE
Ali the Luck With Marietta
Team in Game With
Normal Lads.

Press agent and newspaper dope
ran true to form last night when the
!, basketball game between the Normal
and the Marietta teams proved to be
the most interesting and exciting OF
those staged thus far this season, and
Il is doubtful IL better basketball
game from the standpoint of keen
playing and high interest has been
eeen here in many seasons. The Nor
NAL school team lost 1924, but the
score does not indicate the real close
ness OF the game, for II the local lads
had but q small part of the luck in
their shooting that, trailed along with
the shots Of the visitors, Greasy
Meals bunch would have gone back
to the city talking to themselves. The
score at the end of the first half was
1928. Early in the second half there
was some of the fastest basketball
ever seen, and with about 10 minutes
of the final period gone, Fairmont hao
worked up to within one field basket
Of the visitors, the score being 1921.
But just about this time, Greasy
Neale rubbed the horseshoe again and
the Marietta crew made few wild
stabs at the baskets and the ball went
IL
rim for few seconds, with the result
with a 10-point lead.
Stewart and Whiting played grea.
ball for the Marietta team and deserve
great credit for showing they made,
while knight and Mike Hamilton car
ried the burden of the work for the
locals, although all of the boys on the
Normal team played the best bali
shown this year.
A great crowd was out at the game,
despite the weather conditions, and it
was a loyal crowd pulling all the way
for a home victory. Once when the
score was exceedingly close, Fairmont
having come up several points III just
a minute or two, the crowd went wild,
cheering and yelling like mad.
It was contest that kept the spec
itators on needles and pins from the
start to finish; game we'll played,
clearly played, yet keenly contested.

been written especially for this aus
piclous occasion. as any good after
dinner orator might say:
a geezer from the suburbs
Took lunch one day with two
Real entertaining fellows
Who knew a thing OF two.
They got him in between them
And then remarked: Perhaps
You'd find 1t rather pleasant
To shoot a little craps"
What's craps? the geezer questioned,
I've never heard the name;
But, you, can teach me easy,
l'msqe.ck to learn game"
They taught him all the secrets
OF Phoebe, Little Joe,
Big Dick and ali his comrades
And then began to throw,
They started with the geezer,
He never lost the cubes;
He sent them to the cleaners
Like two crestfallen boobs.

Warning Signs Torn Down,
Authorities Decide on
Drastic Move
TWO OFFICERS ON
ROADS AT NIGHT

Warning signs having so far failed
to have the desired result. the au-
thorities have decided upon a sterner
course in the effort to break up The
practice Of parking automobiles in
the rural sections for improper pur-
poses. The greatest annoyance, iudg-
ing from complaints that have reached
the Levy Court, seems TO be 10 Bran
dywlne hundred, particularly on the
Weldin road.
The matter was recently taken up
with Isaac C.. Elliott, president of the
Levy Court, who had the roads post
ed, giving warning against the prac-
tree complained Of, and who employed
an officer to patrol the roads. As If
To defy the authorities, some OF these
signs have been torn down or mu-
tilated and the abOminable practice
has apparently been unabated; the
only effect seemingly, being that the
offenders have managed. TO keep out
OF the way Of the officer.
Consequently, a second officer has
been appointed and the roads are TO
be patrolled every night next week, at
least as late as 10 o'clock. Already
the work OF taking the license num-
bers of the offending cars has been
started and the numbers are being
listed 10 is proposed flrst TO COM
municate with the owners Of the cars
and give warning in that manner, and
on second offence 10 take such SUM
mary action as is deemed warranted.
The warning signs are also TO be
protected, and any person found tear
ing one down or mutilating IL will be
prosecuted All such offenders are
liable 10 fines, in addition to the
nOtoriety that is sure to follow their
cases getting into court.

The main building Of the plant will
be about 600 feet long by 400 in width
and six stories In height, with outside
warehouses for storing supplies. Ma
chinery has bebn ordered and is now
In course Of manufacture. Speaking
today at the Hotel dupont OF his
plans, Mr.. Sega said:
Everything Is going as well, II not
better than ] had anticipated But
then / have become accustomed TO
delays. The main thing is that we have
begun actual work on the plant, and
that we are assured material to con-
tinue constrgctlOn. r
1T has seen my belief for years
that Wilmington offers exceptionally
good advantages as a port That is
why ! chose the site here for the re-
ilnery. Moreover. the deepening of the
Christiana by the government and
the plans made by the city for con-
structing a FIRST class harbOr mean
that we shall have every facility for
transportation at low water and rail
rates"
Mr. Segal added that he controls
certain secret processes for refining
sugar which give him an advantage
over competitors. He already has
built three reflneries which are now
being operated at profit. One OF these
is the big Pennsylvania refinery in
Philadelphia. The local plant is ex-
pected 10 have an output OF 5000 bar
rels Of refined product day when in
full operation.
The firm Of Armstrong and Latta, OF
Philadelphia. has the contract for
erection OF buildings here. Drilling
for The foundations was done by H. f.
Dougherty, Of this city.
For the present Mr.. Segal will con-
tinue to reside In New York and make
frequent visits TO Wilmington 10
supervise the refinery work. Later
he expects TO settle in Wilmington.
