TWO POLICEMEN
PUT OUT BLAZE

The fire was discovered by officer
Rgmarczyk as he was patroling that
part of his beat on New Brunswick
avenue near Matano place about
o'clock. He ran to give aid and on
the way met Roundsman Morris.
The two officers ran as fast as they
could to the scene of the blaze and,
working like beavers, they gathered
sand with their hands and poured
1t on the flames, In that way extin-
gushing them before much damage
had been done. They worked fast,
but quietly, and did not disturb the
neighborhood. BY their quick action
they prevented the necessity Of turn
ing in an alarm for the companies.

Boston, Oct. 9:-The morning sun
changed at noon to a grey sky and a
shifting wind came from the north
east, predicting colder weather. The
Red Sox were at work by noon, two
hours before play. The first batch,
composed of Speaker, Lewis, Wagner
and Gardner, lost no time getting
down to the main business at hand.
The Giants pounded through the
gates. In four seconds they had be-
gun warming up In the sunless air.
The Bostons' cultured fandom was
evidently less wildly enthusiastic
than that of New York and at 1870
o'clock there was still vacant patch
es in the unreserved section Of the
bleachers. The grandstand was ALL
ing slowly, but gave early indica
tions OF great popularity of the
national sport among the women.
When the Giants swung onto the
battlefield, Senway Park, at 1:15
O. clock this afternoon, to regain, if
possible, their lost honors, the eyes
Of all the fans were turned upon one
man, Christy Mathewson. If the
Red Sox can accomplish the down
fall of Blk Six they feel that the rest
will be plain sailing.
The Battery Today.
Matty and Meyers were announced
as the battery for the Giants for the
second game of the series, while
Stahl relied upon his crack lefthand-
er, Collins, to foil the New York
swatsmiths. Carrigan took his place
behind the bat to receive Collins
shoots. Manager McGraw, of the
Giants, caused considerable delay
when the game opened by changing
his batting order. Snodgrass was
sent to the top of the list, and De-
Vore placed in the third position,
formerly occupied by "Snod."

FORT BROWN PARK.

Those of Il citizens who have
been ~endeavoring to ecure a part Of
the Fort Borwn reservation for a
city park, have been aroused by the
presence of government engineers on
the grounds for the purpose OF sur
veying and plating that part of the
post not requfsitioned by the depart
ment of agriculture.
These engineers are sent here by
the interior department, and it is
the purpose Of the latter to subdi-
vide the ground into lots and sell
same to the highest bidder for cash.
This is one of the functions Of the
interior department and they could
not legally pursue any other policy.
If this city is to secure this de-
sirable piece of land for a park it
will be necessary to get an act Of
congress deciding it to the corpora
ton for that purpose.
While the Herald understands
that progress has been made in this
line, it desires to impress upon our
citizens that quick and energetic ac-
ton is necessary or the prize may
Slip from our grasp.
