G-Cana;ian bootleggers are OBJ
tanning liquor for United States
consumption at less than the price
charged by the Quebec liquor COM
mission, which is supposed to con
troll all whiskey sold in that prov.

Furthermore they are charging

booze cargoes over the line into
New York State.
Near Fort Covington, as in the vi
cinity of every border town are
warehouses supplying liquor to the
bootlcggers. The Quebec price for

$44 a case, sold by the quart. But
the prevailing price in this vicinity
today is as low as $50 case for rye
and $32 for Scotch.

Burnley Will be remembered from
last year as having a good team and
they put up good tussle in every
game. II reports are Trustworthy
they should have the edge on the
Filler eleven, having had twelve ex-
perienced players TO mold their team
around and also a wealth OF new ma
terial when the call was issued for
the first practice this fall.
Dope Favors Burnley
Burnley has played two games this
season. Their first game with Jer-
ONE they won easily by a score of
32 TO z. In the second they romped
over the Albion normal for a Is TO
6 victory. Last Friday, the only real
chance of the season the local fans
have had to get a line on the com
parative strength of the two teams,
the Albion high school forfeited TO
Burnley. This forfeiture gives Bur
ley two weeks rest which should
put them in top shape for the com
ing conflict.
The local boys with the exception
of few minor injuries, are in good
shape to enter the fray but Coach
Denman has been working under a
handicap this week because many OF
the boys are working in the fields
to save the crops. He expects 10 have
the weaknesses which were evident
In the last game remedied before
Friday. II he intends TO pull any new
stuff in this game he is keeping il
a secret. No changes are evident in
the linup yet. so the local fans can
expect to see the usual fighting ag-
gregation start the game.
Denmanites Are Confident
Win. lose or draw Coach Denman
says there will be no alibis offered.
The men will be in good shape TO
start and the spectators can come
expecting to see a real scrap from
whistle TO whistle.
Wee ice hears many people ask
ing who will win. According to the
dope available Burnley has a little
edge on the scoring. But there is one
thing missing in the dope and that is
the fight and determination shown
by the local boys when they are
talking about and practicing for the
contest.
Regardless OF who wins. the local 1
supporters will certainly see one of (
the best football games ever played /
on the local field. Both sides are 4
raring to go and every inch of /
ground will be holly contested.
