The Pirates to this day have not
been able to overcome that break.
and they are reminded of it quite
frequently by sharp tongues of play
erS on other clubs.
Bad finishes almost always come
from one or two causes. One is tho
punching of errors al the last mo-
ment and the other is drop in ef-
fectiveness of the pitching. Five
inning pitchers cannot win a ma jor
league championship unless mana
ger is clever enough to work two per
game and change them at the right
time.
Stars Are Not Starring.
The degree Of disappointment felt
by the Pittsburgh fans is intensified
by their preseason optimism that
the team this year was going 10 be
the long -looked-for winning com bina

any indications they are fighters. loi-

force than any team in the National

MANY FIRES ON ISLAND
FOR PAST SEVERAL DAYS

TOTTENvILLE, Nov. 6.-Staten
Island In the past several days has
been visited by three big fires which
have taxed the fire department under
Deputy Chief William T. Begin in
charge of the borough of Richmond
fire fighting force. Sunday there were
two on the north side of the island.
The st. George hotel within a short
distance of borough hall, was gutted
and one man lost his life, when he
attempted to go back to his room
for $50 that he remembered leaving
there. He was one of the walters
At the same time another fire ragged
In the lumber yard of William S. Van
Csef at Port Richmond.
The yard. which was partly de-
stroyed, required several engines and
hook and ladders besides a fire boat
to check the flames. The third big
blaze was at New Brighton Tuesday
night when flames gutted four story
apartment house and spread to ad-
Joining buildings before the firemen
were able to get it under control.
One woman was injured in this blaze
and at least twenty-five people were
rescued. Wind at that time carried
embers to adjoining structures and
set houses more than block away
on fire. Seventeen Companies fought
the fire for nearly an hour. Mrs.
Mary Carboni, thirty-eight years old,
partly overcome in the burning build
ing, jumped thirty-five feet to a
cement court. She fractured her
left leg and arm and suffered in
terna1 injuries. She was taken to the
Staten Island hospital.
Besides these the firemen, particu-
larfy in the outlying districts, are
from fifteen to twenty-five
alarms for brush fires in all sections
of the borough of Richmond. No.

will be the only thing to check these
fires here and other places. Fire

put an end to this carelessness.

quest of my party believing that

done for sixteen years." Mr.. Her
mann said. "And the party as well
as the citizens have surely given me
a splendid vote of confidence by cast
ing nearly half of the total votes Of
the borough in my favor. They made
a good showing"
II have been a friend of all the
people in the town and I shall con-
tinue to be one, no matter how the
election came out" he added.
Mr.. Hermann expressed satisfac-
tion over the election of William D.
Casey and Samuel B. Brown, two
Democratic Office holders.
