GREEK SOCIAL CLUB
 FALLS BY WAYSIDE
Place Ordered Closed On Peti-

Solicitor Jim Ravis's petition for injunction against the Greek Social club, with quarters at 192Sh Second avenue, north, which was filed Wednesday in chancery clerks office, was granted Thursday morning by Judge Roger Snyder, and the premises were ordered closed and charter of the club revoked.
 The petition claimed the quarters were used as a gambling den; that it was run secretly, without legal right; that access to the rooms was barred to officers of the law by heavy bolted doors; that an elaborate system of electric and other signals were used to warn gamers of the proximity of police; and that ingress was only granted to police when the gaming devise had been safely stored from sight and the rooms had been placed in order to avoid suspicion on the part of visitapts..
 The place was raided about two weeks ago and several arrests were made. Included in the arrests were several members and the officers, Charlie Graham, president; James Faunice, vice president; Pete Polls, secretary treasurer, and Will Beggs, another vice president.
