by their presence and the
way in which they re.
sponded TO the leadership Of Mr..
Wall. Mrs. Minnie B. Wall was chair
man OF this service for the club.

Mobley, Red and White
Guard Plays His Position
in Stellar Manner.

Conquering champions was the or
der of the day when Ardmore Highs
undefeated gridiron Warriors engaged
in battle versus the Gainesville High
gridsters last Friday and climbed an
other notch pennantward by defeat
ing the Texans to the tune of $40
The score might have been more one
sided but the local boys loosened up
bit after the game was safely
slowed away.
Continuous rushing was the work
which put the pigskin over the goal
line five times. Forward passes were
employed at times, but We're not
generally effective. Right off the
reel the locals started the process of
banking their opponents and after
winning the toss. received the lop-
sided sphere and marched two thirds
the length of the field for touchdown
number one. Two more We're added
in the first quarter.
Gainesville strengthened in the Sec
ond period, and prevented further
scoring until the third, during which
one more touch down was added, fol-
lowed by another in the fourth. In
the last session of play, all the second
string men were sent into the fray.
The subs showed up we'll but We're
over anxious and as a result lost
a great real of ground on penalties.
Mobley. the little right guard of
the Ardmore aggregation was by
far the star Of the game, shining both
on the offensive and the defensive. His
tackling was Of most spectacular
nature and he prepared TO be wher-
ever the inflated leather was being
carried.
The work OF the team as a whole
showed remarkable improvement as
compared with that in previous battles,

GRoroN STRING WATER MAY
 HAVE TYPHOID INFECTIo

Michael J. Sexton, of Bank street, New London, manager of the Groton branch store of the P. Schwartz 6 Co.,, has be- come i'll from typhoid fever. In conse- quence, Health Officer Frank W. Hewes of Groton has posted an order on the Copp spring on Thames street, stating that the water is not to be used for drinking purl I es. This order is expect ed to be in ellect only temporarily. When MT. Sexton became sick with the fever, his attending physician said, it was re- ported, that it was a result of drinking bad water. When it was learned that the water he had been drinking in Gro ton was from the Copp spring it was pre- stunned that the spring water was re- sponsible.
 pr. Hewes has sent a sample of the water to the state laboratory for analy- sis. of which he expected to receive a report soon. He said that he did not know whether the water was in a con taminated condition and would not until the report was received.
 The spring water has been used in preference to the borough water for drinking purposes for years because, the consumers assert. it has a more pleasant taste. Apparently no one else has been affected By the water as no other eases of typhoid fever have been reported to tn health officer.
 MT. Sexton was reported Thursday as being seriously i'll, not improving much over his condition Wednesday.
