bell Company, in Salem, took fire last
Saturday morning, 8th, at o'clock,

DU PONT TIGERS WILL PLAY
FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

The DUPONT Tigers, WHO finished a
most successful football season on
Thanksgiving Day by defeating the
Aberdeen Soldiers BIO, are now sch
eduled to play a post season game this
Saturday at Mays Landing for the
Class B. championship of South Jersey
Mays Landing defeated Pitman last
Saturday 24-0 and the Tigers defeated
Pitman earlier in the season with a
score of 26-6. So according to statis-
tics Saturdays game should be a close
one. However, the Nays Landing
team has the advantage of having
been playing together regularly while
the Tigers had disbanded and put their
togs away after the Thanksgiving
game.
A practice was called Tuesday night
and Coach Summerill has been whipp-
ing them back into shape the remain
der of the week so that the best is
hoped for. Joe Patterson is evidently
in good condition, judging from his
showing with South Side Eden on Sat
urday, and if the remainder of the
team can come back in like manner
the Tigers should clench the Glass B.
championship.

Five Booze Joints
Raided By Police
Borough Officials Backing Up
Police In Their HOusecIean-
ing Campaign

In rather spectacular raid on al
legged illicit booze joints, on Tuesday
December II, the Borough Marshalls,
under the leadership of Officer John
G. Sullivan, gathered in a sufficient
quantity of stuff to have two dealers"
held under 81 900 bail each for the
Grand Jury.
The police have been working for
some time in gathering evidence on
several of the alleged booze joints
and with the aid of pigeons" had
made purchases of intoxicants so
that everything was ready for lone
dry night in town on Tuesday. Every
thing was all set for a grand clean
up of the five places on which substan-
tial evidence had been procured, but
it is believed that there was a little
slip somewhere and some one who was
on the inside let out a word to one
place in particular, for when the pol
ice arrived everything indicated that
a hurried exit had been made, but con-
siderable fumes and a strong aroma
were still in the air.
Search warrants were issued on
Monday by Daniel V. Summelill, Jr.,
in his capacity of supreme Court Com
missioner for the following places
where liquor had been procured: Jos.
Zelei, 81 Willis Avenue; Pauline Van
acola. IA Cumberland Avenue; Perce-
les Coco, l East Griffith Street; An
thony Caputa, Griffith Street and the
Railroad.
At Zelei's place whiskey was found
and Zelei arrested. At Pauline's place
no whiskey was found. At Cocco's
place so gallon cask, one half empty
was confscated and Coco arrested.
At Caputa's place no liquor was found.
Every place visited had large bar
rels of wine in the making, but as it
is the custom of the Latin races to
drink light wines with their meals,
and the officers in their judgment
believed it to contain less than the
forbidden quantity of alcohol, they
left it remain in the custody of the
owners.
Cocco and Caputa's place bore evi-
dence that some one had tipped them
off as a large number of empty cans
and Jugs were on the premises bear
ing strong evidences of whiskey and
in which undoubtedly had been hur-
riedF emptied.
Mayor Walker complimented the
officers on their good work and added
that he and the Councilmen were SOL
idly back of the officers to rid the
Borough of poison boooze and all other
crime.
At a hearing before Commissioner
Summerill, Coco and Zelei plead
guilty to having the seized stuff in
their possession and after hearing the
testimony from Officers Sullivan,
Harbeson, Moore and Petit. were held
in $1,000 bail each for the December
term of court.

Operators Pull Thru
Overcome Big Lead By Great
Work In Second Half of Game

The Operating five staged the big
gest comeback that could be wished
for in the game Thursday evening
with the Service-Engineers, for after
trailing the whole first half, which
ended IA to 2, they held the S. & E.
men scoreless the second half and
made II for themselves. So they won
by 19 to Il.
Manager Peak put his five Engi-
neers on the floor to win and they
looked as good for they opened with
good foul throwing in the many
chances the referee, Joe Patterson,
called. for Joe seemed to miss none.
About all the teams did the first ten
minutes was foul throws and then the
averages for that half was more than
a foul a minute. Every one had at
least a try.
Thurston made the lone goal for his
team the first half. Anderson and O..
Dolbow led in the scoring for the ).
& Z. by making four each.
1t was the same men that took the
floor for the Operating in the second
half but it was an entirely diffeffrent
team fer they scored like old times
and never let the S. & z. men get any
where with the ball. Thurston led the
team throut in this great work and
totaled three field goals. The last few
minutes he was rested by Brown, who
well took the place by Immediately
scoring. Sheppard did thrilling work
in this half and equaled Thurston at
scoring. Otto did his share by throw
ing two. Peach made good his only
fo1Jl fry

WARNING TO LAW vIOLATORS

A cross 20 feet high was burned on
the base ball diamond of the colored
of the colored people, on Trumbuli
Avenue, between Willis and Walnut
Streets, on Wednesday night, at 3
o'clock. During the burning OF the
cross a loud explosion shook the town
and shattered window glass in the
vicinity. A sign was found by the
fremen containing these words:
"A warning to ALL" signed K. K. K.
A can of gasoline was found standing
against the sign.
Some say the warning is to those
in that neighborhood who are thought
to be law violators. The righteous
have no fear.
All good citizens will applaud any
assistance which the KS or any
other organization or individual can
give the police in their crusade for
cleaner town.
