Officers search for trap door around and beneath the ring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The New York Police Department’s war on liquor continued with daring operation last night, as local law enforcement officers descended upon the Smokey Hill Boxing Club, suspecting to find illegal operations hidden beneath its floorboard. The club, known for raucous and rousing sparring matches, had long been rumored to harbor one of the city’s worst kept secret gin joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps most surprising, the search was meticulous yet yielded nothing. Unnamed sources claim foul play, and that low-level bribes are in fact responsible for the raid’s lack of success. On the other hand, some on the scene laughed at the thought a trapdoor would be found beneath the boxing ring. To our eye, others on the scene seemed intent on finding nothing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police also sought the owner of the Smokey Hill Boxing Club for questing, a Mr. Gage Morningset. However, after the search was called off, and nothing of note found on the premises, officers have since declared that Mr. Morningset was no longer considered a person of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers at the Smokey Hill Boxing Club deny any involvement in illegal activities.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
