BLUE JACKET A HERO
Uncle Sans Sailor Fought The Fire In
Arizona Midshipman Thomas
Incident Recalle d

That it isn't necessary for a fighting
man of the navy to demonstrate his
courage in battle in order to win ap-
probation from the Navy Department
was illustrated few days ago at
Tuscon, Ariz.
Midshipman Thomas was highly
praised by Acting Secretary of the
Navy Winthrop q few days ago for
heroism which probably saved the
supply ship Culgoa. Thomas grabbed
a bag of powder which had caught
fire and sprang off the ship with it.
Seaman Joseph A. Roberts did not
make himself hero alongside of
Thomas in Eescuing powder from the
flames, for the simple reason that
Roberts was not in that vicinity at
the time. Instead he was on furlough.
visiting his parents at his old home
in Tuscan, AriZ. Still, away out in
Arizona, where the presence of any
man -of-war would be regarded as a
miracle, the sailor had opportunity
to make good with his superiors.
In the dark of night fire broke out
in peaceful Tuscon. The fire depart

navy bluejacket was there first.
While the firemen were fumbling
with their ladders to get up on the
roof, Roberts, familiar with Jacobs
rope ladders over the side of ships,
ran up a tree, and out on a limb
reaching to the roof. He fought the
flames single-handed until the fire.
men came and then continued to fight
as though in battle for his life with
flames threatening the handling room
of ships magazine. After the
blaze was out everybody cheered for
the bluejacket, for he was the hero
of the occasion.
Then the chief of the fire depart
ment, willing to give credit where it
is due, sat down and wrote the Sec
retary of the Navy about it. 1.-The
members of this department appre-
ciate very highly the assistance rem
dered by Roberts, he wrote. His
grit, courage and endurance were of
material assistance to US, who were
shorthanded at the time in controll-
ing what threatened to be a very SER
ious confiagration. Therefore. we
thank him, and the officers of the
ship who educated him and the Navy
Department who made it possible for
the turning out~of such material -
OF course, such liberal praisIng
of the Navy Department for pro-
ducing such hero might be construed
as a bouquet suggesting that one
of the new 0,000-ton battleships be
named in honor of Arizona. Arizona
will get her ship, however, without
this. The whole thing might sug-
gest the idea to the Navy Depart
ment that in order to get the vote
of the inland Western States for ap-
preparations for battleships and
other naval necessities a few blue
jackets might be sent out that way
looking for fires, railroad wrecks
stage hold-ups, children on railroad
tracks and other opportunities to
win the public favor for the naval
uniform and incidentally the man
inside of it.
Roberts has been in the service for
about three years having enlisted at
Dallas.

In snappy game that was inter-
esting at all times, the Annapolis
baseball team added another to its
long list of victories on Saturday af-
ternoon by defeating the strong ag-
gregation from the Homestead Ath-
letic Club, of Baltimore The game,
which was played on st. Johns Col
lege diamond, resulted in a victory
for the locals by a score of to 2.
Except for the first inning, the game
was of the spirited order. In that
session the locals got three runners
across the pan on two hits and as
many errors, and while the visitors
batted the ball in pretty lively style,
they could not get bingle when it
would have counted.
Neither team score after the third
inning. In the ninth the Baltimor-
cans had rosy chance when they had
the bases loaded, but the necessary
hit was not forthcoming.
