MUCH interest
is Already Being Shown In
The Library Fund

That the plan adopted by the Col.
lege Womans club to secure new
books for the library is practical
one, is already proven by the unusual
interest shown. The reception, which
the club is giving this afternoon and
evening, promises to be most en-
ioyable affair and it is to be hoped
that the public will still further show
their appreciation by making it a
most successful one. 1t is understood
that the college club will undertake
TO do something each year for the IL
brary, providing the public will give
it their support. We hope that each
of our readers viii feel that he is
personally invited to come, either this
afternoon or evening and help their
cause along with both their presence
and their Offering,

One Heavy Truck, One Light
One To Be Used
West Side People Afraid OF
Another Flood
And Want Protection From
The City

Mt Vernon will have a complete
outfit of new fire fighting apparatus
Just as quickly as It can be purchased.
This was decided at the meeting of
the city council held Monday evening.
The fire committee reported favorabIy
upon the purchasing of two motor fire
trucks and recommended that the
Improvements be secured.
An ordinance was introduced author
izing the issuing OF bonds 60 the
amount of $4,000 for the purpose Of
buying fire trucks for the city Of Mt.
Vernon and also authorizing the d.
rector of public service to purchase
motor fire trucks. The ordinance was
passed under suspension of the rules.
The plan, in making the new ar
rangements in the fire fighting service
Is to place one of the auto trucks at
the Third ward engine house and the
other in the Second ward patrol sta
tion. The Third ward truck will be
large one and will be relied upon to
answer most of the calls. II will be
equipped with 80 gallon chemical
tank which, according 90 Fire Chief
Pickard, will be able to control rs
per cent of the fires without the use
Of water 1t will also be equipped
with extension ladders and practically
every other device for modern fire
hghtnig.
The truck for the Second ward sta
tion will be smaller. lt will have a
covered top and will be- used as a pa
troll wagon when necessary In case
OF fires, the smaller truck will carry
500 feet of fire hose and will be taken
to every fire of any Importance.
The purchase Of new equipment has
been necessary for u long time but
not until recently has the situation
been SO desperate Nearly all the
horses in use IN the department have
grown old and unfit for active service
Probably, all OF them will be disposed
OF after the trucks have been pur
chased
The wagons used In the department
are no longer strong enough to in
sure safety. The Second ward wagor
Is in bad condition and 10 liable g,
collapse at almost any time. accordini
10 Fire Chief Pickard The hos'
wagon at the Third ward Is also Il
need Of repair The wheels are GU
OF order and are somewhat unsafe.
The controversy of nearly one yea

Passes Huggin, Makes a Wild

Frank Allen, of Mobile. a left-handed
pitcher OF some repute, who spends his
summers with the Brooklyn Superoas,

at the hands Of those rather chesty st.

at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon.
After passing Miller Higgins for the

and both counted on Gathers single to

men the victory by score of to and
boosted them into fourth place.
1t was one Of those ripsnorting uphill
and down-dale struggles. Both teams I'M
lmbered the heavy artillery, and pushed
over three runs in the opening frame.
Hank" Robinson. erstwhile of the Pr
rates, was shelled off the rubber with
only one man down, and Poll Perritt
replaced him.
Perritt put the crusher on all scoring
propositions except In the eighth inning,
when Lew McCarty sent Cutshaw home
from second with a scratch double behind
third, when two were down. Fast fielding
saved Perritt on several occasions.
Art Butler sent the visitors into the
forefront in the fourth inning by driving
the bali far and away to the left centre
field fence for a homer. For time 1t
seemed as II this one tally would be SUI
icient to sway the balance. but McCarty
wipd out the lead, as mentioned pre-
viously.
In the ninth inning Butler objected to
a called third strike and was banished
by AL Orth. Norman Elberfeld also was
chased for voicing some slight difference
of opinion with Lord" Byron. All in all,
the umpires had a hard time pleasing
both sides.
Zach Wheat was out OF the game. He
was struck on the arm by pitched ball
In the morning practice. John Hummel
played the field in his stead. O'Mara had
a good day at shortstop. with nine
chances handled fauitlessly.

Since Accident to Captain

Until the accident to Captain Cheape on
Sunday, there seemed to be no lack OF
hackers of the II irlingham team to win
the International Polo Cup match, but
they asked odds. At an uptown hotel,
however. on Saturday, an offer OF $500 to
500 did not find taker. The wagers
known to have been booked were not
made in so good a market, to that
the American team will win being the
best price to be verified. Many bets have
been recorded at s 20 5. with the Ameri-
can team the favorite.
There has been scarcity OF Hurting
ham money since it became doubtful II
Cheape could play in his best form. On
Wall St yesterday, at the resorts where
speculators meet for such transactions
foreign to stocks and bonds, 1t was re-
ported that the birmingham supporters
were asking odds Of 10 to 8.
