men?
Answer-No more than nine play

IL professional team says for the
fun of the thing that it is willing to
play nine men against eleven there
is no objection but such game never
could be included for a championship.

HIGGINS RESIGNS
 POLICE BERTH
Former City Sergeant Awaits Outcome Of
 His Appeal

c. NJ. Higgins, for three years patrolman and sergeant of the police department, Friday turned in his re- signation, following a raid on his home Wednesday night by Chief McDuff and Assistant Chief Thomas Christian which resulted in the discovery of 10 gallons of liquor. Higgins faced charge of violating the prohibition law in police court Thursday afternoon and was fined $103 and given 3O-day sentence. He gave no testimony.
 When questioned Friday about his resignation Higgins said it would elimi- nate the necessity of hearing before the civil service commission. Following his fine and sentence his case was ap- pealed and will be carried to the circuit court at q later date.
 Il claim to be the owner of the brandy that was found in my home, said Higgins, but 1 can easily show that made the beverage for personal use."
 The case probably will become test hearing, as Higgins contends the liquid was made from peach juice, sugar and molases. and that he had put no alcohol in it.
