Joe Engel added another victory to his
credit yesterday, when he twirled a re-
markable game against Hamilton Col
lege. Only twenty nine men faced him
during the contest, and one lone hit was
all that could be garnered OF his de-
livery. Thirteen men were retired by
the strike-out route, which shows in some
degree the effective manner in which he
was twirling.
Manager Luitich, of the Congressional
team. will await the closing of the col

To Protect All from Fire Dancer.

With the installation of the large
chemical tank on the hose wagon of
the Norfolk fire department., districts
where there are no water mains are
now protected from fire, as we'll as the
districts where there is sufficient wa
ter.
Driver Monroe. assisted by Walters
& Son, completed the installation of
the tank and its apparatus yesterday
and the wagon is now ready to go to a
fire in any part of the city where
heretofore, it could only be used in
districts where there was plenty of
water.
The wagon is now as complete as
any combination hose and che. .nical
wagon used in any fire department in
the state.
The workings of this tank are very
interesting. The tank itself holds for
ty gallons of fire fighting fluid. Each
gallon of this is equal to forty gallons
of water in fire eXtinguishing quality.
The tank has been placed directly
underneath the drivers seat To this
, tank is attached $50 feet of small hose
which is carried in a large iron bas-
ket elevated high enough above the
box of the wagon to allow the storage
of 700 feet of regular fire hose. On
another side of the wagon is a con-
trivance connected with this tank
whereby ordinary water can be used
should the chemical not be required.
The average fire lasts about forty
minutes and it is claimed by Mr.. Mon
.. roe that there is sufficient fluid in the
tank to put out a fire. Mr.. Monroe
manufactures the fluid for the chem
ical tanks at the fire station and says
. he can recharge the tank after it has
been emptied at the fire, in three min
utes. Two ladders will also be in.
stalled on this wagon.
Heretofore the wagon carried about
400 feet of common fire hose, max
ing the weight of the wagon with its
full equipment 1850 pounds. With
about 700 feet of hose taken off and
with the installation of the chemical
tank it will now weigh about the same.
