A good crowd witnessed the dou-

eral captured the honors from Buck

Liberal high school girls team
cleaned up on the Faculty team with
score Of "a to IL
Mr.. Armstrong of Minneola, was
the referee for the boys game, and
this was fast game, both teams
making good plays and the game was
interesting from start to finish.
The girls VS.. the Faculty was the
frst game of the season as far as
the faculty was concerned, and they
made good stand, but finally sue
cumbed under the well-trained hands
Of the girls. Frank Highland was the
referee.
1t was at first thought that owing
to the quarantine on the school peo-
pie, that the games would be called
off, but the officials permitted the
games to go on, since Bucklin had
arrived for the challenge.
The following was the lineup for
/the teams:

FILE AFF|DAWTS IN
INJUNCTION SUIT
Chancellor Will Have Hearing
Tomorrow in Dover in Case to
Restrain Safety Directors.

City Solicitor Reuben Satterthwaite
Jr.. acting on behalf OF the directors of
the Department Of Public Safety. and
Robert c.. Harman. counsel FOR the
Delaware Fire Company and ether
citizens. tomorrow before Chancellor
Wolcott in Dover. will file afffdsvits
in connection with the rule issued a
week ago upon the safety directors TO
show cause why preliminary injunc-
ton should not be issued against them
in their work OF establishing the paid
FIRE department in this city. Should the
chancellor desire to hear additional
argument in connection with the pro-
ceedings instituted by Mr.. Harmsn
last week he will do so but II is the
belief that the affidavits 10 be pre-
sented by the two attorneys will suf-
flee as the case WAS argued at great
length before him last Tuesday.
Whether the chancellor viii be pre-
pared to issue an opinion tomorrow is
doubtful but il is expected the courts
decision will be reached within a shor,
time and he viii announoe whether
the injunction shall be granted or re-
fused. The proceedings were brought
to prevent the safety directors from
making any further contracts In con-
nectiop with the new fire department
and also to prevent the city from pay
ing out any of the money TO be re-
ceived from the sale of city bonds
authorized 20 defray the expenses OF
the new paid department.
The New York brokers who recent
ly purchased the entire bond issue
have been advised OF the injunction
proceedings now pending and they
have decided to do nothing further
with the bonds until the chancellor
has handed down his opinion relative
70 the case. This will delay the de-
livery of the bonds for time and
should the courts decision be adverse
to the safety directors the bonds viii
not be turned over to the city until
the whole matter Is settled.

NEW YORK BROKERS FAIL.
Much Surprise Created on Change by
Announcement Of Old Firms
Embarrassment

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.
New York. Aug. 22.-The failure
Of Trippe and Company was announ-
ced today on the New York Stock k,x-
change. The firm which was organ
ized one year ago. is composed Of
George W. Woolsey. William J. Pal
mer and John ]. Gillies.
The failure occasioned considerable
surprise. as the firm. while organized
in it's present form a year ago had
been prominent as a commission house
for ten years and there had been no
intimation of embarrassment.
In some quarters the failure was at-
tributed to the inability of customers
to meet obligations and to the shrink
age in the last six months of values OF
many securities held by the firm as
collateral. Albert w. Putnam. a men,
ber Of another Stock Exchange firm,
was appointed receiver.
The firm took it's name from Charles
Trippe who died year ago. II had
been active in motor and tire shares.
Within the last year four stock ex-
change firms have failed. One was
recently reinstated as member of
the exchange, having discarded its
obligations
