straw hats and bright tan shoes.
They had done their stunts as pinch
hitters, pinch runners and pinch
pitchers, and went away to recover
from the doings. There. were almost
as many gents taken out or knocked
out as were left in.
Thirty athletes partook of the hec-
tic doings. Seventeen Of them were
Giants, and two, Mike Donlin and Jim
Thorpe, were regular mastodons.
For six bits the pop-eyed fan saw
nearly the entire roster of each team
in action. o'Day specialized in pitch
ers, using four, while McGraw was
strong for pinch hitters and runners.
He also used three pitchers, Matty
finishing up in bored fashion after the
Cubs had been qUieted by Donlin's
home run.
Of the three pinch hitters used by
McGraw, every one produced. Thorpe
knocked in two runs with a double.
Donlin nicked a homer with two on,
and Murray poled a sacrifice fly.
The Cubs were as bad yesterday as
they were good Monday. The pitch
ing they worked behind was not the
best imaginable, BUT Vaughn would
have finished the game handily if
errors of thought and mechanics had
not dug a pit for him in the sixth.
He was not being batted very hard,
and would probably have been able to
hold the four-r1n lead he had at the
time. AS the Cubs later made two
more TALES, he would have had
soft spot.
Zimmerman knocked home two
runs, but he sunk the ship in the
sixth inning, and undid all the good
work. One run had scored, one was
out and Merlde was on second base.

The throw was wild, and two were

DETROIT'S
FIRE WORST
IN HISTORY

Although badly handicapped by the
big fire of yesterday. Detroit has set
tied down to its normal pose and al
ready those burned out are opening
temporary establishments.
Detroit had close call from being
wiped off the map and but for the
timely assistance rendered by neigh
boring towns, especially Frazee, there
IS no telling where the fire would have
been checked. The estimates of the
damage done yesterday by Detroit
people, there is every indication today
that the damage will mount UP close,
II not altogether, to the 100000 mark.
In every burned structure all that 1t
contained went with it as there was
little time In which to remove goods
from the buildings in the path of the
flames. One whole block Is in ashes.
When the Fargo and Moorhead fire
departments arrived on the scene the
flames had been checked and no use
was made of this equipment, although
1t was held on the ground for some
time in order to guard against the re-
newing of the conflagration bv pos
sible change of the wind or the
spreading of fire brands from the al
ready burned section. Chief Suther-
land and his fire fighters made good
time in reaching Detroit over the
Northern Pacific railroad. which Of
Tered every facility 1t possessed to save
the Minnesota town. All other busi-
ness on the road was sidetracked for
the fire specials and clear track was
given to all equipment rushing TO the
scene.
1t is probable that had Detroit sent
Nut her S. o. S. earlier the loss would
not have heen quite so great as 1t was
and adequate equipment would have
nrobably saved much that was other
wise burned Today citizens are agi-
tatirlR the purchase of more extensive
FIRE lighting apparatus, but the city iB
under ordinary conditions well pros
vided.
Through confusion it was difficult
during the fire to get 61ly acurate esti-
mate Of the losses, some being report
ed that. while In grave danger at the
time, did not actually burn. Al great
many OF these structures were saved
only By the timely arrival Of tho Fra
zee fire equipment which arrived none
too soon.
The gravest danger and the one that
caused the most anxiety among the
citizens of Detroit, especially those in
the path Of the fire. was the fact that
the pumping plant was right in the
danger zone and only strenuous efforts
prevented the only source Of water
supply outside of the lake.
The actual estimated tabulation Of
the losses as made today and which
