GRANDSTAND BLAZE
CAUSES 40 OTHERS
100000 Fire Destroys IL San
Francisco Buildings as Ball
Park Stands Burn.
By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. June Be
tween 35 and 40 fires, most of them
comparatively small. were started
here today by embers from an old
wooden grandstand and bleachers
which burned at Ewing Field, a base
ball park. Twelve small buildings
across the street from the park were
destroyed.
The fire in the grandstand broke
out during a twilight league base ball
game, and Is believed to have been
started by a cigaret.
The rain of blazing embers fell
over an area of 80 blocks. Firemen
were helpless to combat the many
minor fires as alarms came in from
corner boxes over a wide area
Citizens, armed with buckets and gar.
den hose, put out numerous bfaZes
and kept the roofs and walls of their
houses soaked.
When practically all the fire ap
paratus in the city had been sent to
the scene a new fire broke out in
another district and destroyed IL
buildings. burning 100000 worth of
raw hemp in one warehouse. Eleven
other buildings were damaged. The
origin of this fire was unknown.
Mayor James Rolph. jr., who
visited the fire zone around Ewing
Park, said it was the worst in San
F'rancisco's history since the great
fire of 1906. No estimate Of the loss
was available.

Divers Brave Tempest to Repair Leaks
Which Would Have Halted Raising S-5l

plugging up the gaps at the stern Of
the hull.
With, good weather there is a pos.
sibility that a preliminary attempt
will be made Monday to raise it. This
would mean that the two pontoons at
the stern of the boat would be filled
with compressed air. Then, aided by
the fact that the three rear compart.
ments are empty of water, the stern
of the hull would be buoyed up so that
the nose of the vessel would be point
ed toward the ground and the whole
craft would be resting at an angle of
almost 60 degrees.
Later the six pontoons at the bow
of the boat will be blown of water,
and then it will be possible for it, if
all plans succeed, to go up to the sur
face. The preponderance of pontoons
at the bow OF the boat has been made
necessary by the fact that tho two
forward compartments are filed with
water, which cannot be forced out be-
cause Of the large gaps in the hull
near the battery compartment.

Tempestuous seas continue to prevail
off Block Island, but divers, risking
this handicap, went down to the bot

the surface and noticed gaps in the
steel hull in the motor compartment
at the extreme aft of the craft.
Water was seeping through the holes.
This was an upset, for the stern or

been considered watertight and the
three compartments were supposed TO
be free of water.
