FORD PLANS TO

September.
The crafts will be in tow of one
of the seven ocean going tugs
bought from the government by the
Detroit manufactures.
Thereafter the others of the l49
lake size ships will be brought to
the Rouge docks aud when "a few Of
them are on hand the work of rip
ping them apart with acetylene and
electric torches will begin.
The 30 larger vessels of the ocean
going type will be scrapped at Ches
ter, Pa, or some other point aud
the steel sheets shipped TO the
Rouge plant. y few probably will
be equipped with Diesel engines and
put into service as part of the com
panv 5 ocean going fleet. ga
The Ford Motor company will or.
ganize 4 force from its regular en-
ployes TO tear down the vessels.
Estimates are that the work will
require Is months.

OFFICER DOUBTS
STORY OF DOVE
HUNTERS CLAIM

Jimmy Applegate, FL Centre 5
rotund cop, was on the warpath to-
day, the cause OF his ire being an
account in last night S Press of the
success of various FL Centre hunt
ers. who were out after doves yes
terday morning when the dove sea
son opened.
Although Jimmy s name did not
appear in the list of hunters. he
swears that he was out with Frank
Richmond, and that the latter.
through professional jealousy, fail.
ed to give Applegate's name to the
Press, in making Il report of hunt
crs who had hunted.
Jimmy asserted that he did not
care so much about not being mum
bered among the nimrods, but it
peeved him greatly when he read
that Frank Richmond had obtained
the limit on doves.
That is a most outrageous false
hood. = quoth Sir James. "and the
only one who knows 1T better than
| do. is Frank Richmond. We hunt
~ al ftIbaiiti tHt NdlipV Duv INp
birds Were moving too fast for our
guns. The real facts are that we
obtained only one bird, and ] shot
that one. Furthermore, my honesty
compels me to admit that The bird
was wounded and was sitting ON n
rail fence when | shot it from the
rear. Frank Richmond NAV have
wounded n few birds, because he
was using shotgun that should
have been ON wheels, and to Use an
army phrase, he was firing 'at
will for couple of hours. If anv
other hunters come across doves
with wings, feet or heads missing
they can rest assured that they are
some of Richmond s mistakes.
The real hunters of Imperial
valley have decided to tell the truth
this year. and the. above is the
truth TO which I am ready to make
-
That is Jimmy's story ana the
Press refuses to make any comment
concerning it.

Players Laud Aldridge
For Courageous Hurting
By MAX CAREY
Captain Of the Pirntos.)

Copyright, 1925, BY Universal Service.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 9.-The story
is bit different today. It's one
that details n terrific and gamc-win-
ming clout by Xxi Cuyler and a
superb infield defense and courageous
work by Vic Aldridgc in moments
when the result hung in the balance.
This second one was a real ball
game. One filled with tense and
stirring moments. with the result in
doubt until a ninth inning rally Of
the Senators was halted and final
out was made.
! don't believe that any pitcher in
the game ever showed finer. dis
play of gameness and GOODNESS in
the tense, soul-stirring moments than
did Aldridge. Twice he was in ter
rible straits; twice the slightest fault
in pitching would have ruined vic
tory for us. But both times Vic
came through like the fine mounds
man that he is.
The brilliant work of our inficld
in that nerve-racking fifth, and again
in the ninth. when the Senators had
three on and none -out-the thrill Of
it will linger long in my memory.
Each time it seemed that those bat
ting Senators were destined 10 crash
through our stoncwall infield-yet
each time they were smashed back
beaten by the combination of Aid
ridges brainy pitching and the chain
lightning stops and throws by the
inficld combination.
The entire Pirate team shares in
the glory of the triumph. Every
man played his part fcarlessly, brill
liantly. But fate decreed that the
major portion of the laurels should
go to Aldridge. For his magnificent
emergency pitching and to Cuyler,
who broke the IL tie with his Her
culcan drive, sending Moore home
ahead of him-and giving us the
runs that were needed for victory.
Those Senators gave us fight
and what a battle it was They
never quit. Two runs behind in the
ninth. They rallied again. and il
any man had bees on that mound
except one with the stout heart of
Vic Aldridge, they might have crashed
through to victory.
But Vic Aldridge was there-and
that's the story.
The series is even. Our victory
has given us just the extra confidence
that VIC needed. Optimism fills our
camp.
