Is Acres Burned Over

Fifteen acres were completely COW
cred with the blazing oil, which
spread TO the north and east of the
tanks along Third avenue. Spreading
thence to the waterfront, it destroyed
the building of the East Brooklyn
Volunteer Fire Company. and several
pieces of old fre-fighting apparatus
owned by the company which had not
been taken to the immediate scene
of the blaze. A wagon of the Sal
wage Corps also was badly burned
before it could be got out of the
danger zone.
With the collapse of the tanks
much OF the burning oil flowed down
into the river and spread, blazing,
out toward the channel. The rest Of
the oil flowed in burning mass
through the streets, firing the frame
dwellings as it rushed past, and then
spreading out over the lowlands in
a burning lake, like lava from vol
cano in eruption. Thousands of feet
of fire hose were overwhelmed when
the sudden flood broke, seriously
handicapping the fire-fighters in their
work.

INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION
 TO CONDUCT BASEBALL sERIE

Akron, Ohio, Aug 4.-The American Industrial Athletic Association has plac- ed 5000 booklets in the mails which con tain the rules to govern the association national championship baseball tourna- ment that starts September ,.
 The American Industrial Association makes two claims for it's national cham pionship baseball series that starI Sep tember 3, in several cities throughout the courrtry.
 First they point with pride to the fact that it is the first effort in the history Of baseball to combine factory teams m an inter-city elimination series with a national title as the premium of award
 Second. 4. I. A. A directors say their series will have representation in many rnore cities than any similar series Con servat,vely, directors of the assocla- ton predict that the entries of cities will be double that of their nearest rival. Others go so far as to say there will be three and four times as many cities rep resented.
 Added 10 these two claims is another point that IS being cmphasized-that the A l. A. As championship baseball se- ries IS national event in fact as well as name. The series is not confined to the central . ates | will have many en- tries from Wts,el.- and eastern states.

I read with interest the challenge from Plainfield which appeared in Wednesdays Bulletin, also the article which preceded it a week since.
 There are several reasons why I did not reply One is that until now I have not considered Plainfield strong enough to give the fast traveling Ashlands a battle. Another reason is that news paper challenges are not my idea of ar ranging a series of this kind. Mr. WardhW'st claims to be new to | this section and is evidently the target for exaggerated tales concerning past | seasons.
 It might interest him to know that | this is my first season at the wheel for Ashland, but 1 am well posted as to 1 the events connected with former series | between these two clubs.
