II IS generally conceded that the fire
departments OF the United States are
the most perfect organizations OF their
kind in the world. Foreigners say this
is true because there are more fires in
the United States than anywhere else
in the world. and that the efficiency Of
the American fire departments has de-
veloped from necessity. The first thing
the average foreigner does after landing
in this country Is 10 look around for a
fire. He has read so much at home about
the prevalence OF cOnfia gratiOns In our
great cities and the wonderful deeds OF
our firemen. that he wants TO see them
at close range. He IS rarely dlsap-
pointed and is willing 10 admit that the
feats performed by American fire de-
partment teams at the Paris fire congress
some years ago. were nothing exception
al from the American point Of view. At
that time a Kansas City, No, company
won the world prize by hitching up.
driving quarter OF a mile to the scene
OF a theoretical fire. making hose con
nections, scaling the walls OF a building
and rescuing three persons from the
sixth and seventh stories. all within the
space or three minutes and fortv-fvo
seconds. The fastest foreign crew in the
competition required ten minutes to ex-
ecute the same maneuvers. while a
turkish nremen's team was awarded tho
oooby prize These Turks personally
carried antiQuated hose and other an
paratus. and are said 10 have finished the
required programme after the Official
uilekeeper had retired from the scene.

HORSES
MAY CAPTURE ALL
THREE PLACES
Spotted Jacket Riders Picked
to Clean Up the
Suburban.

NEW YORK. June 10.-That the
Suburban, the next big event of the
metropolitan racing season, will in all
probability be added to the winnings Of
James R. Keene. is the opinion being
expressed by horsemen. Mr.. Keene's
great horses, Colin, Celt and Ballot, are
all eligible for the big stake, and some
race followers are enthusiastic enough
to predict hat if Mr.. Keene starts
them all he can capture all three places.
1t may happen, as in other years
when Nj. Keene appeared to hold the
suburban SAFE. that something will
turn up, either before or in the running,
to prevent the spotted Jacket from be-
ing carried to the front in the classic.
At this time, however, Mr.. Keene has
every reason to anticipate a victory.
The indications are that he not only
holds the Suburban. but, barring aecl-
dent, practically every other important
race to come for horses of three years
old and upward.

NEW
PITCHER IS THE
TALLEST YET
Vaughn Stands Six Feet Three
Inches High and He's Nine
teen Years Old.

DETROIT, June 10.-In many respects
Jim Vaughn. the new Yankee south
paw, is one of the greatest freaks base
ball has ever seen. He is the tallest
player in major company, standing six
feet three inches high, despite the fact
that he is the youngest player in either
of the majors and one of the youngest
who ever broke into fast company,
Vaughn will not be twenty years of age
until next April. He passed from the
most obscure of the bunch to select
society in a little over n year, a truly
remarkable feat.
Like Catcher Walter Blair, Waugh
has had a meteoric rise. Until last year
he had practically never had a baseball
in his hands. Hailing from Weather
ford, Tex, he had little opportunity for
the game in his younger days. His at
tention naturally turned toward cattle,
and his schooling was along c~owpunch-
ing lines. He is an expert rider and q
dead shot with rifle, gun and revolver.

SWARTHMORE ATHLETIC
BOARD QUITS JOB.

SWARTHMORE. Pa, June 10.-At
the annual alumni meeting of the
Swarthmore College Association yes
terday, the alumni athletic committee,
consisting of Walter Clothier, chair
man; Howard c.. Johnson. T. H. Dud-
ley Perkins and Walter Lippincott, all
handed in their designations, Their
action, they said, was brought about
by their belief that their manner of
conducting athletics at Swarthmore
had not beer approved by the college
authorities, and that under existing
circumstances it would be best for all
concerned for the entire board to re-
sign.
Speaking of the work one by the
committee in the past five years, Mr..
Walter commended the spirit with
which the alumni generally had stood
behind the athletic committee, and he
referred to the fact that though a dis
senting element had always existed
among the graduates, no expression of
~disloyalty had ever been made in IN
way which would seem to indicate hat
there was any dissatisfaction
1t was decided TO accept the reSlgna-
tons and a hearty vote of thanks was
extended to every member of the board
for the work one in the past five
years.
A new committee was then elected,
consisting of Messrs. Temple, Murray,
White and Hodge. The new commit
tee seems to please the members of the
alumni and student bodies, and no
detrimental effects on athletics are an
ticipated under their administration.

Harry and Willie Met Over in
New York Last Night.
Other Fights.
BY OLD SPORT.

That was a great battle between the
Lewises last night, Harry and Willie,
over in New York, and from all ac~
counts this Willie Lewis has at last
taken a tumble and is trying to rake in
the coin while his eye works harmoni-
ously with his fists. This fight took
place in the National Club and from
the first sound of the gong until the
fight had reached the end of its journey
in the sixth round Willie Lewis stalled
and kept away from the danger signals
flashed by Harry. AS is the case in all
New York fights, the bout was declared
a draw.
But, from the consensus of opinion
expressed by men who paid their money
to sec a go and who expected a knock
out. Harry Lewis is the better of the
two men, at least as far as last nights
affair goes. But then there are two
sides to every story.
The major portion of the rounds
seemed to favor Harry. But in the last
round Willie copied Harry on the jaw
and the latter started to wobble like a
duck near Easter time. Willie saw that
he had his namesake near the land of
nod and kept coming. But he couldn't
lOCtlS tle weak SpOl vi I1dilS = JdN,
and the best the latter could do was to
take to the stall game, which he did
unit. the bell saved him from a knock
out.
Now. if you a pick a winner from
such a mixed-up affair you are well
come to do it. The men who saw the
battle can't do it, so how is one who
didn't to be expected to make the right
guess.
I wonder if that battle tonight be-
