To
 Play Blues
 On Tuesday
Expect Close Game When Bulldogs And Athletic
 Club Teams Meet

When the Howard college quintet meets the B. A. C. at the athletic club Tuesday night, local fans ought to see one of the best games here this year. The first game between these two teams was an unusually close and interesting affair. The Howard team, although 1t had been practicing only a very short time. kept the score tied a great deal of the time and the spectators were continually being brought to a high point of excitement by a good shot that would either tie the score again or put one team two points in the lead. Those who witnessed that game went there expecting to, see the B. A. c. team run up a comparatively large score, as the chances of the Howard five was an unknown quantity up to that time. but they found that the Howard five was a worthy foe for the Clubbers, and all came away express ing satisfaction with the fight put up by both teams and with the evenness of the match.
 Since that first game. both teams have played several games, and the ex- perience has improved both aggreEa- tions in respect to their style of play, as well as to the betterment of the condition of the men.
 The Howard five, which has been or
  ing of the first game with the B. A. c. and had put in only a. few short prac- tice sessions. showed great possibilities; and, with the teamwork that they have had the opportunity to develop since that time, they ought to be able to put up a game that will make any team keep on their toes from beginning to end.
 Promising Material
 Their material is very promising, as was very evident on the occasion of their last meeting with the club team. Stubbs is an unusually good man and has seen quite a bit of experience with the B. A. c. team and in high school. With him for the team to build around and with me who could get their eyes on the basket with such unerring ac- curacy as Ham Stevens and Scokel were doing that night the Howard five, &ith the training and developing of teamplay that has come since their last go with the B. A. c. team, ought to. give the Clubbers a stiff fight
 E. A. c. Loses Couple
 The B. A. c. five has had some set backs and have lost a couple of games since their battle with the Eastlakers but these games were with the strongest teams in the south and have in no way discouraged the players or the coach, but have rather instilled a little more .ie"6 sPhit iheo theH anu set them to work at a greater rate than ever before. and they will be entering into the coming contests greatly benefited by their past experiences oe the present season and in much improved condition physically. The blame for the loss of their games has been laid to several different things by the various authori- ties. but whatever 1t may be it will, without doubt, be spotted by the quick eye of Coach Erwin and remedied to such an extent that their play toward this, the last half of the season, will be outstanding in it's smoothness and perfection.

An artistic Elysium where streets and sewers and other evidences of mod crn civilization do nat exist, the kindly acres where. according to Cato. no usury stands to retard creative inspira- ton. freedom from society's feters. says the San Francisco Chronicle.

paper men in getting what material they wanted. Oddly enough, there is as much interest. if not more, in the preliminary arrangements for big fight as in the spectacle itself. I never attempted to direct publicity. Give the newspaper men an opportunity and they will make the event interesting in hundred different ways. Never in my life have I told newspaper man what thought he ought to write. I have discussed matters very frankly with them but to attempt influencing their opinion would be foolhardy. Besides, that kind of publicity wouldn't be worth n nickel. They know what the public wants to read.
 Newspaper Reader
 Though l always was an inveterate newspaper reader. 1 never fully realized to what extent they would go for news about prize fight until our Cans Nel- son affair at Goldfield. I had expected publicity, of course, but it had never occurred to me that hundreds of news paper men would come from all over the United States at the expense of their papers to do this. That has given me lot of thought.
 One day I met the circulation man. ager of one of the biggest New York papers.
 Tell me, l asked him. "why do newspapers devote so much more space to championship prize fight than to any other one event in the news of the day."
 What The Public Thinks
 Why. it's because the public wants to read about it. Do you know" he explained to me. that a big cham jionship fight is the biggest circulation getter we have? The only thing that approaches it is a big murder trial in which there is plenty of scandal. I don't know exactly how to analyze this. but l know it is true. I have handled circulation for 20 years. I venture to say that ma iority of people remem- Der the Corbett- Sullivan fight for in stance. with just as much clearness as they do the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor.'
 This brought to my mind the fact that our attempts to get Carpenter over here during the war occasioned as much daily interest as the battles be- ing fought. Even in those days of trou- ble and distress news of prospective prize fight caught the public eye.
 Now. with this tremendous aid. given freely, l really don't sec how a man could guess wrong on the success of fight.
 But. as I said at the start, it takes great open air arena to center the interest.
 Tomorrow The shortest and the longest fights.

Greenville To Start Long Road Trip Including
 Simpson Here

GREENvILLE, Feb. 3.-(SpeciaiJ-- The .quint of the Butler County High of Greepville triumphed over the Uni versity High of Anniston here in an exciting and fast game by a score of 37 to IT,.
 loyal fans from Ft. Deposit, Georgiana and other places, cheered their fayorite team on to victory. The game was one of the prettiest-fought affairs of the season.
 Interest was added to the game by reason of the fact that Jack and Walter Hovater. two AlabaRa football stars. brothers, are coaches for the opposing teams, the former leading the university Cadets. Jack Hovater's team is . great little machine, and put up a game fight against Butler High. In the beginning of the game the visitors got away with lead of a few points, but were soon overtaken, and no more did they have a chance with Buffers five passing, dribbling, accurate shooting, and every other way excellently playing.
 Stabler Stars
 Baby" Stabler, captain, was in the fight to the limit, and 1t was this for ward who earned 20 of Greenville's points via the field goal route. He was in gogod form and worked his team in grand style. Kendrick his playing mate, played his usual good game, and he worked the ball off of the back boards in fine fashion. Smythe, New ton and Wesley all played excellent ball, and it was great to see this trio in action. tf F
 Coach Jack Hovater has a fine player in Williams at forward. Hobbs and Stein the honors for Anniston, and it was these two players who had Greenville guessing for. a while.
 The two teams will meet again to- night for the second game of the series of two contests.
 The Butler Tigers will take the road Monday, going to Reform for a game Monday night with Coach Jackson, a former Greenville coach's team. Then they will go to Tuscaloosa for a game with Tuscaloosa High and the Univer- sity freshies. From there they will in- wade Birmingham for a game with Simpson High and the University High.

NEW LAW PERTAINING TO
LENSES AND FOCUSING

William l.. Dill, State commission
err of motor vehicles, has issued a
notice to the police throughout the
State that the new law pertaining to
lenses and focusing went into effect
on August Is and should be enforc-
ed. Some of the police started to
enforce the order on Saturday, but
the majority of the guardians OF the
law will wait until September lst,
when the State of Pennsylvania puts
into effect a similar statute. A num-
Der of cars were stopped along the
White Horse and Black Horse pixies
on Saturday and Sunday evenings
and the drivers warned.
Most of the new cars have the APP
proved lenses and they are at the
proper focus, but there is smaller
and popular car which is giving
most of the trouble. The lights on
these cars are very bright and shoot
up as rule and cause much annoy
ance to the drivers of cars coming
in the opposite direction.

DELANCO VOTERS SAY mo" TO
HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSITION

By vote of 243 to 22O7, voters of
Delanco again defeated at public
meeting in the Delanco town hall a
proposition of securing a further
appropriation for the construction
of a new high school at that place.
The meeting was held last night.
The meeting was equally as
,stormy as the one held several
weeks ago when the same PROPOSE
ton was crushed by an oyerwhelm-
ing vote. Since that time a commit
tee appointed to secure figures and
facts covering the cost of building
schools and educating children in
other municipalities of the county
has developed considerable data,
which was presented before the
voters for their enlightment. In the
opinion of majority of the voters,
however, it is felt school can be
built for $125,000 which was the APP
preparation originally authorized but
which was found inadequate when
bids were secured.
Refusal of the voters to authorize
an additional $4,000 leaves the
Board of Education in a quandary.
A petition, however has been plac-
ed in circulation by sponsors of the
project, askinge, he Board to call an
other meeting, the thought being
that sufficient votes viii finally be
won to carry the proposition.

There was a battle between the

The former were intrenched in the

ed the attention of residents along
the river bank who summoned the.
police. Special Officer Lutz com
Wandered small boat and pulled
for the spot from which the cry for
assistance had issued. A search of
several minutes failed, however to
find anyone in need.
Returning to shore the attention of
Lutz was drawn to two boys who
were leaving the water with q ca
noe on their shoulders. Persons who
summoned the police accused the
two youths of having made the APP
peal for help without cause. The
boys, who gave their names as
James Knight and Raymond Heine-
man, both of Palmyra, denied the
charge. They stated they too heard
the appeal for help, although It
sounded to them as though the cries
came from the shore After interro-
cation by the police, the boys were
released.

Local Government
Cost Second To
Lowest In State

Beverly can now lay claim to a
new distinction, it having been an
nounced by the New Jersey State
League of Municipalities, after an
exhaustive compilation, that Beverly
ranks next to lowest with per cap
tia government cost among all other
cities of the state. The population
is between $500 and 5000 and the
cost mentioned is $1,000.
The lowest is Bordentown whose
population is 4,400 and the cost mem
toned is $780, Third in list is Bur-
lington whose municipal cost for
each of its 5000 inhabitants is
$3.50.
These figures apply to 1923 and
they mean that Bordentown and
BEVERLY stands out among all
cities of the state as being entitled
to first honorable mention for econ
omical administration, and following
closely upon these TWO is Burllng-
ton.
The resort cities show very high
report, the average being $3.50.
Outside the resort places, Plainfield
has the highest cost of $4860. In
the past six years the municipal
government costs throughout the
state have jumped from $4,000, 427.-
SO to S56,2Ol, 2O6.1O. The budget es-
innate for this year is $7,O00,00OO0
less than last year.
Figures recently presented by the
United States Census Board indicate
that the per capita cost of municipal
government all over the country has
doubled in the last ten years.
