NIFTY CATCH BY LEWIS
Robs Bodie of Hit-Ruth's Homer
Would Have Been Circuit Clout
in Any Park.

NEW YORK. April 2s.-several
worthwhile bits of fielding were
turned in by Griffmen yesterday
Judge prominent among them, but il
was Lewis who uncovered the most
sensational feat. Bodie gave him this
opportunity in the sixth when he
hammered liner to left center that
Duny speared with one hand after a
long gallop. The veteran, who spent
two seasons in local livery folio wing
term in Boston. where he broke in,
is just as much of favorite in Goth
am as he is in the Hub and his fine
effort was roundly applauded.
Next to Lewis superb running catch
or Bodies liner. a play by Judge in
the ninth was the headliner. Ping
also was the victim on this occasion,
Joe running to within a foot or two Of
the grandstand to grab foul.
Ruth's home run was his fifth of the
campaign to date and the fourth of
his career off Johnson. 1t was made
on the first ball pitched to him in the
opener. 1t was hit with terrific force
and struck the top of the coping over
the seats in the upper grandstand in
right field and bounced back on to the
field. 1t would have been good for
four bases in any ball park.
the cold which prevented him from
pitching in the Sunday game at home.
He INDUCED in a stiff workout yester-
day and following another today may
be ready to go into the box tomorrow.
An instance of the lack of dash and
speed on the bases. which is the one
outstanding weakness of the Yankees
and will again euchre them out of the
pennant. If anything does. was fur
nished in the fourth inning. With
Ruth at bat and Peck on first Picinich
let one Of Johnson's shoots get away
from him. 1t rolled fully thirty feet,
yet Peck failed to seize the opportun-
ity to advance.

A telegram from Alaska delegate
 Sutherland to the Nugge: Thurs. asks assurances regarding the availability of two thousand gallons of high grade gasoline at Nome about August 25. The purpose to which the oil is to be devoted is not stated by Mir. Suther- land.

A reply has been for warded announcing that the quantity of gasoline desired can be supplied by the Nome Lighterage Company at the time indicated.

INDICATED WINTER OIL
 SUPPLY osTAINABLE

Those to whom the impending fuel oil shortage presents serious prospects of interference with their activities will be pleased to know that q short age of oil next winter is by no means so certain as it appeared a week or two ago. On the contrary there is q strong probability that enough oil can be obtained to meet at least all the ordinary requirements of the camp. Information to this effect was laid be- fore the last regular meting of the city council Monday by Chairman Burgh of :he special committee ap- pointed by the Council to investigate the situation.
 Councilman Burgh reported that therei q good prospec: that a suffi- cient supply of oil would be available for winter use. stating that an oil ship would probably be sent to Dutch Hafbor and Nome by one of the oil companies to supply .he demand at both points.

 I-ied in a large Japanese steamer called the Toro Maru. The officers of the vessel are i:IssIans but there are Il large number of Japanese on boa i'd The ostenSih1e purpose of the cXpcdi tion is scientific investigation and pr ,s- pecting but the chief business appears
 to be conferences with the Sovi4. of ficials along the coast. There is an

 The Central government is said by

HAERING FAMILY LOSES
 HOME BY FIRE

The Haering residence near the corner of Second Avenue nd D Street was gutted by fire about 4:30 Tuesday afternoon, with Il practically complete loss of the dwelling and contents, in cluding the wardrobes of the various members of the family.
 The origin of the blaze is obscure. Mrs. HaerinG, the only member nf the family at home, was engaged in hang ing out clothes in the yard when the fire started in the kitchen section. The first intimation that something was amiss came in the shape of dense clouds of smoke few minutes after she had left the kitchen. Hastily en- tering the dwelling in an attempt to reach some money and other valuables hid in cup or jar Mrs Haering was forced 70 make precipitate retreat by the thick smoke without saving a thing. An alarm had been sent in depa rtmen! reached the scene the en- tire interior of the building was a fur mace and nothing could be saved. The department succeesed in saving the outer shell of the building after a sharp battle. It is surmised that the blaze was caused by sparks falling from the kitchen stove during Mrs. Haering's absence.
