PLAYERS WIN THEIR POINTS,;
 STRIKE IS INVERTED
Members High Squad Made Threats They Would Not
 Play Saturday

Only recourse to extremely diplo- matic measures averted yesterday what would have been the latest thing in strikes. Chronologically, it was thusly:
 At the end of the 1919 football sea- son, an effort was made here to se cure sweaters for the members of the football team at the High school. There was no trouble getting the sweaters. Not much trouble, that is for they arrived in July. They were winter sweaters. But having arrived. the money for the payment of same had not been raised. The sweaters remained stored away in the local sporting goods house through which they had been ordered.
 A member of last years team, also a member of this years team happen ed on the fact that the sweaters were here. There followed a conference and much discussion. A question was then raised by school authorities whether to raise the money and pay for the sweaters and present them to the members of last years team, for whom they were ordered, or wait and award them to the members of this years team.
 Threaten to Strike.
 It was while the decision on this point pended that strike was threat ened. Old men. on the team stated they would not play the game next Saturday if the sweaters were award ed to the 1920 team. These men are quite necessary to the success of the team, and school authorities recided that the sweaters would go to the members of the 1919 team.
 Thus strike of football playerf was averted, and the game Saturday will go merrily on.
 But there still remaining trifle more than a hundred dollars to be paid on the sweaters before they can be awarded to anyone, the members of the Junior and Senior classes will attempt to raise the sum needed with an entertainment-or possibly sever al entertainments.

FIREMEN CONQUER GALVESTON BLAZE
 AFTER HARD FIGHT
Underwriters Estimate Dam
 age to- Property Will Ap- s prOximate Two Millions

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 30.-Lashed by a thirty mile northeast wind, and rendered difficult, to cope with be- cause of fumes from burning sulphur the fire which broke out on the docks early this morning, was brought un- der control after doing damage esti- mated at between $1,250,0O0 and $2,- G0O,00O. The latter mark will be reached, according to underwriters, ii the. cargo of wheat of the Italian steamship Etna proves total loss.
 The fire originated in the plant of the Texas Gulf Sulphur Company at o'clock and spread quickly until all of pier 35 was ablaze. An explo- sion of oil drums in the plant of the sulphur company occurred shortly be- fore firemen reached the scene, and the plants of the Cotton Concentra- tion company, the Anchor Milling company and the superstructure of the Italian vessel Etna caught fire.
 For. time the blaze menaced the entire west end of galveston. Direct ly to the windward of the blaze and about four Clocks distant were five tanks of the Magnolia Petroleum com pany, each with capacity of 5000 barrels of oil
 Entire. Equipment Used
 Sparks from the blaze and the sub- sequent explosions set fire to grass up to within few hundred feet ot these tanks, while the ground for some distance around them was sat urated with oil Had these reservoirs been reached, it would have been i'm possible to stop the blaze, firemen declare. The entire fire fighting ap- paratus of the city, including the fire boat Charles Clark, as well as two or three harbor tugs and about hun dred and fifty national guardsmen responded to the alarm. After the explosion in the plant of the sulphur company, scores of firemen were prostrated by the fumes and smoke while relief squads rescued those who had collapsed.
 At 6 o'clock, after four hours o1 playing streams over adjacent prop erty, Fire Chief Ryan announced that the blaze was under control.
 National Guard troops, for whom this is the last day of martial law duty here, played notable part in fighting the blaze. About 60 pei cent of the total number of troops in the responded to the alarm, and the first nozzle carried aboard the blaz- ing Etna was dragged by squad o1 Texas Cavalry, who crouched close to the deck to avoid the reach of the flames.
 ! c. L. Mayberry, watchman employ. ed on pier 35 discovered the fire and turned in a general alarm. At the time of the discovery Mayberry said the fire had reached the platform of steam heat plant in the sulphur concern. Spreading downward, it reached several tanks of fuel oil and the resultant explosione scattered burning pools of oil in very direc- tion.
