FORD CAME NEAR
ARREST AT DETROIT FIRE
By Myer

The cold light of retrospection often
converts things tragic into things
ridiculous. The most trying situa-
ton will be turned into ludicrous
stunts.
So it was with the fire in the Hotel
Cadillac at Detroit recently.
Members of the New York High
landers were sleeping on the sixth
floor when the alarm rang out and
incidents of that night will be re-
called by members of the team for
years afterward.
Russell Ford, the famous pitcher Of
the Yanks, relates n of the best.
Il was sleeping when the fire
started and the calls of the bellboys
