Should the national commission decide to allow the Pittsburg Nationals to pur- chase Jake Pitler from the Chattanooga Lookouts, the little second sacker will become the regular second sacker of the Pirates. Pitler joins the Pirates Sunday. Manager Callahan of the Pirates has been working all the year 10 develop good keystoner, but all efforts have failed to date
 It. was announced Monday that the Pi- rates had bought Pitler. They had. but the Detroit Americans stopped the sale and protested to the national eommis- sion. But in the meanwhile Pitler will play with the Pirates. The whole trouble with the Tigers is this: A working agree ment is supposed to be in effect between Chattanooga and Detroit This spring Chattanooga asked for an outfielder and Harper was sent to the Elberfeld clan. He never reported nor did Hughie Jen- nings ever send a man to the Tabasco Kid.
 Consequently, when Detroit failed to respond to Chattanoogas call for help the agreement was supposed to be at an end No more was said concerning the failure of the Tiger management to an- swer the o s call ,and when Pittsburg began negotiations for Pitler, the sale was made without delay. Detroit claims to have an option on any player on the Chattanooga team. The Lookout man. agement argues that they would have had the option if players had been sent to Elberfeld this wear.

LOOKOUTS WELL PAID

The Lookouts are said to receive Utility Player Gleason, who has been with the Pirates thus far, an outfelder, pitcher and a cash consideration of $500 They are probably getting the players, but the cash is not likely to be in the deal. Glea- son will take Pitler's place at second.
 It is not believed Pittsburg will form a working agreement with the Lookouts The Birmingham club and the Pittsburg club formed such an agreement last year when Burleigh Grimes was sold to the Dreyfuss outfit. Many fans were sur prised that the Pirates did not try to get Danny Clark. Danny is not ripe for the majors yet. He's a dandy hitter and fair fielder, but he lacks the necessary

IMPORTANCE OF
FIRE PROTECTION

The suggestion of Governor Milliken
that the week beginning Oct S, 1917. be
observed as Fire Prevention Week and
that as 4 patriotic duty the citizens
Of Maine give particular attention to
the protection Of their property against
possible destruction by fire is most
timely and worthy Of the careful at
tention of every person interested in
ent war
IF even one-half Of our property
loss by fire could be averted we will
have contributed as valuable aid to
our nation as by subscribing our por-
ton Of a Liberty Loan" said Ivan E.
Lang Of Bowdoinham, deputy irsur-
ance commissioner.
Foods, fuel grain and other mer-
chandise are consumed in supporting
daily life Of our people at home as
we'll as in the training camps and
in the war zone" continued Mr.. Lang.
1T is admitted that our resources
will be severely taxed to meet the
home needs, the needs of the army
and the needs of our allies. If we
allow our stock to be destroyed we
reduce the available supply. Accord
ingly every individual In Maine can
aid in the work whether the owner of
property or not by lending his SER
vices to make every structure. whefn-
er home, mercantile building, or factor
safe from fire in 50 far as human
knowledge and foresight may per-
NIT.
Heating and lighting apparatus is
a fertile source of fire loss and both
are commonly neglected and too Oft
en- carelessly operated.
THE safety Of the home demands
that these be examined before the
cold days Of fall and winter arrive
and defects remedied
THE protection of business and cur
stocks Of merchandise demands that
other structures have careful attention
fer the purpose of eliminating any pos
sible cause Of fire or its spread should
fire start.
THE insurance department has urg-
ed the importance Of particular atten-
ton on the part of mayors Of cities.
municipal officers and fire inspectors
and others. In cooperation with the
Maine committee of the National
Bcard OF FIRE CnueTWIlleis II mas " :
fered the services Of trained inspect
ors wherever they may be desired,
It is found that considerable work
has already been begun. but there IS
vet much to do and only by the re-
alization on the part Of the citizens
Of our state that this work IS os-
sential to the final success Of the
war can this be accomplished. While

The following ruling of Provost

statement that neither the military

the attention OF this Office that I'M

which finds no justification in any
