Josie turned about in quick interest.
She'd never seen one of the things in
real life, and here she was about to
make voyage in U-boat, hunted by
enemies who we're friends. Nothing
dull about that. For the moment she
was aware only of the long gray shape
with the wavelets tapping against it.
The sun dazzled her somewhat. She
made out, however, that the two men
by the gun were Chinese. That seemed
odd, but then today nothing was COM
monplace She forgot her surprise. The
boat was right alongside now.
"Why, Carl" she cried abruptly, lit
doesn't look right! So f1imsy. That's
not steel at all. It's - it's phony!
"Phony as the devil!" Carl chuck

ran up the side. and extended his
hand. Come on, Josie" he said.
Keep to the steps if you don't want
to break your neck"
Josie wasn't capable of thought as
she followed him up to the fake con-
ming tower. She heard him shouting
to the man in the boat to look lively
about getting the rest aboard. The
command was given in English. which
was strange in German U-boat. But.
of course, the fact was -
Carefully down the ladder" Carl
said. There's more room below"
Still in trance. Josie descended the
rungs. No clang of steel. The ladder
was roughly made of wood. Carls
hands closed about her waist, lifted
her down. and set her on her feet. He
didn't attempt to take her in his arms.
That could follow later. This was his
big moment in another way. He drank
in her astonishment.
For Josie was discovering that she
stood again on the deck of Carl
Hardt's pearling lugger. the Gull. In
the queer gray-green light all was
familiar, yet all was changed. The
masts lay fiat along the rails, and the
whole ship was covered with a curved
shell of painted canvas supported on

pletely knocked out. But the
fiery lad shook it off and stay
ed in the game.
Newark scored touchdown
in the first quarter, marching
go yards to do it. Walsh, Dav-
idson and Smith did most of the
ball carrying. On Chillicothe's
2l-yard line, Jim Smith broke
loose and romped the 81 yards
for the first score. Craig missed
his placement try.
Chillicothe gave Newark it's
second touchdown in the third
period. A very bad pass from
center sailed over Quarterback
Clark's head into the Cavaliers
end zone. Dick Shell, Wildcat
tackle, pounced on it for a
touchdown. Big Bill Craig was
there with his educated toe to
kick the extra point.
Once again Newark outgained
their rivals by rushing, but was
in turn out-gained by their riv-
ais in passing. The Wildcats can
thank Bill Craig and his magni-
ficept punting for their good
showing. Craig kept Chillicothe
in their own territory most of
the evening by getting off long,
high booming punts. Craig kicks

Unbeaten, united, unscored
upon! That is the impressive
record our Newark Wildcats
boast as they open their Cen
Wral Ohio league schedule
against the Cambridge Brown
les at Cambridge this Friday
night.
The Cats won their third
straight game last Friday night,
defeating a tough Chillicothe
eleven at Chillicothe, 1870. 1t
was the third victory for New
ark in as many starts and the
first road game the Wildcats
have played this year.
The victory over the Cavaliers
may prove to be costly one for
Newark, as several Wildcat
backfield aces suffered injuries.
James Smith, colored halfback
speedster was the biggest casu-
atty. Smith is suffering with a
possible cracked collar bone and
may be lost to the Cats the rest
of the season. Smith scored the
first Wildcat touchdown and
played a good all around game
until he was hurt making a tac-
kle.
Fullbacks Max Davidson and
Harold Gibson were also hurt,
but will probably see action

Athletic Banquet Monday

4 The YMCA athletic league
banquet held Monday evening in
the First U. B. church was at
tended by approximately 300,
and with o. A. (Ted) Helser,
personnel director of the Pharis
Tire & Rubber company, as
toastmaster, the annual affair
was pronounced a great success.
While plans had been made to
have Jack Cannon, former ALL
American gridder present, that
:, gentleman was not able to be
in attendance, according to Mr..
Helser.
The toastmaster in his pre-
urinary remarks gave brief
history of the banquets of form
er years, speaking of the fact
that the money had been raised
in the past by ball games be-
tween the policemen and post
office employees. Robert Evans
was given the credit for conceiv-
ling the idea of having the game
this year between the Democrats
ana Republicans, when it was
learned that the former contes-
tants were not going to carry
on.
Because of his idea the young
members of the YMCA athletic
leagues were able to enjoy their
annual banquet and winners
provided with awards, as in the
past.

With one game safely slowed
away on the credit side of the
ledger, Denison university's Big

The team acquired decisive
verdict at the expense of Wa

ly establishing their actual
strength. This weeks game,
coupled with the 1910 conquest

physically than they were for
the opener. Coach Tom Rogers

Mr.. Beardshear stated from
the floor of the council chamber
that there was a two-fold reason
why the finance committee of
the council should, by all means,
find way to provide the funds
to pay meat inspector. The
first and primary reason is the
health and safety of Newark cit
liens, and the second was be-
cause the city was in danger of
losing a comparatively new in
dustry, the Scioto Provision
company.
H. B. Huntington, owner of
the packing plant, informed
council members that he had
come to Newark year ago, had
invested a considerable amount
of money in expansion, remodel
ing, etc., and that starting from
nothing, the plant now employs
"a men, 21 of whom were on re-
lief or WPA at that time. How
ever his company has been or
dered to cease the sale of meat
in Columbus, Lancaster, and 9TH
er nearby markets thus curtail-
ing further expansion, because
Newark has no meat inspection
department.
Al Beardshear, secretary of
the Newark Chamber of Com
merce, spoke from the floor of
the council chamber, urging that
the city council find some meth
cd of financing a city meat in
spection department. He said
that if some way could be found
to finance the employment of an
inspector for the balance of the
year, the proposition could be
worked out when the council set
up it's appropriation for the new
year.
Council members voiced them
selves as being in agreement
with the necessity of the inspec-
tion department, but said that
the city finances were in such a
condition right now that the
problem of finding funds to
carry on until the first Of the
year would be a difficult one
for the finance committee to
work out.
Two pieces of legislation were
presented to the council. With
only six members present, only
the first reading of the ordin-
ances was possible. The first
piece of legislation called for
the employment of a meat in
spector, and the inspection of
all meats sold in the city of
Newark. The second provided
for the financing of the depart
ment and payment of the in
spector's saalry the joker being,
where to get the funds.
In the discussion following the
reading of the ordinances for
the first time, it was pointed out

Not Short

The board of education was
labOring under misunderstand-
ing according to Jesse T. Rees,
county auditor, when they re-
vealed at a recent meeting that
the school funds might be $685.
900 short. Rees said that the
$4,000 would probably be the
amount short from the total COL
lection, and the schools share
will probably be less than one
fifth that amount. Actual fig
ures will be known when full
settlement of tax collections is
made in October.
