YARD
On FIRE IN
NIGHT

During the height of the wind
storm this morning ut o'clock an
alarm of fire was turned in by Call
Boy kitterman of the railroad service
To the effect that the Independent
Lumber company yards and lumber
piles were on fire.
The department made a quick run
and when they reached the seat OF the
fire the appearances were very much
against the salvage of even a small
per cent of the buildings and lumber
but after a half hasIr of fire fighting
the blaze was Subdued, much to the
relief of the property owners in the
west end of the city and with a COM
pnratively small loss. The fire was
burning fiercely and only for the
opportune action of young kitterman
the spread of the fire, owing TO the
gale of wind would undoubtedly have
been terrific and with but a few min
utcS more start il is doubtful if the
fire could have been controlled at all.
Ii is believed TO have been caused
by sparks from an engine in the rail-
road yards. The lumber yards are
located ON Main street in the extreme
western part of the city and the wind
was blowing directly east toward the
business section of the city. The
work of the fire department and of
the kitterman boy are deserving of
the highest commcndatioD.

the Ingram Memorial five in the formers

CONROY RANKS AT TOP
OF THE THIRD BASEMEN
Official Fielding Averages Show Nationals Utility
Player in Front Row.

According to the official fielding aver
ages of the American League, made pub
lie to-day, Wild Conroy leads all the
third basemen, with percentage OF -9s1
for IS games Kid Elberfeld stands forth
IN the list, with 944 for ll3 games.
Although Conroy was only a utility
man last season and played less than
half as many games as Elberfeld, his
record is none the less enviable. and he
deserves all the good things that can be
said of him.
Conroy not only made good at third,
but ranks well up among the outfielders.
The records show that he took part in
IS games. had 30 put-outs. and only 4
errors, with an average of .959,
The foregoing figures show that Con-
roy was a mighty handy man TO have
around.
George Mcbride stands sixth among
the shOrtstops, with .939 per cent for 154
games Mac led all the shortstops in
the number of games played, put-outs
assists. and total chances, his nearest
competitor being Bush. Of Detroit, who
leads him in percentage by one point.
All through the following list the
