 A ray of hope has broken through the gloom of two keen baseball dis appointments for sad St. Louis fan dom.
 Dumfeundad by the failure Of po- tential pennant contenders to hit their powerful stride of a year ago. the midwest city which has never seen a pcrnant wayerIng over either Of its baseball parks today found it's Cardinals and Browns showing slowly but surely off the reefs
 Inc Cardinals. unbeatable during spring training days, apparently have recovered from a long slump which emazcI critics throughout the Ma tional circuit. The Browns, q strong first division contingent last season, after groping hlndly in the depths of the American league for weeks, at last have emerged from the cellar with six victories out Of their last seven starts.
 Heavy hitting, an outstanding fac tor ill the comeback of Sisters men, b,a7eG tGe way for another triumph over he Detroit Tygers yesterday, 9 to :. Sisler led the offensive with steal Of home 10 tie the score in the seventh frame, after which Gerber's hi: drove in the deciding St. Louis runs Of the contest. Detroit suffered loss of fourth place as a result of the verdict. Chicago moving up to the vacancy.
 The march of the Cardinals was temporarily checked by the de- termincd Cubs in a sec-saw swatfest which produced five home runs. Heathcota posted a pair of the four baggers, Hartnett collected another which cleared the sacks in the third inning. while Bottomley clipped in his ninth of the season.
 The score was 10 to 2.
 Other games in both leagues, with the exception Of q skirmish between the Giants and Phillies. were dcluged by rain. The Quakers made a strong bid to undo the lusty Clouting of George Kelly by rallying strongly in the eighth and ninth, but their gar rison finish was note quite equal to wiping out the damage of two Kelly homers and furry of other Giant base blows in earlier innings.

S15,0DO,O(O LOSS
IN HUGE OIL FIRES
Two BIazes Are Well Under
Control, With Few
Reservoirs Left.

LOS ANGELES, April 10.-Oil fires
on two California tank farms of the
Union Oil Company tonight had been
brought well under control. and great
reservoirs that for several days had
been raging furnaces were but smok-
ing vats. The loss is approximately
81 ,000, 900.
At San Luis Obispo, where the hrst
of the fires was started by lightning,
a cloud of yellow smoke hung over
the six great reservoirs which had
given 5000, 900 barrels of oil to the
flames. Fires had spread in an ad-
joining field to two more of the 5,5OO-
barrel surface tanks leaving but five
untouched of the original 19. The
fire was expected to burn out within
| less than 18 hours.
The fire at Brea is given by experts
IA hours in which to burn out the
last of the three reservoirs ignUed
While one of the reservoirs was still
ablaZe tonight, oil experts. said that
| there was little possibility of it spread
ing to other containers. Only small
clouds of yellow smoke were emerging
from the other two reservoirs. Hun
dreds of the workmen engaged In
| fighting the fire were laid off by the
company today.
Officials of the Union Oil Co. today
announced plans for immediate recon
struction of the San Luis Obispc
| plant. They We're doubtful, however
whether the company will rebuild the
ruined tanks and refinery at the Brea
| field.

GREENWOOD ASKS
RELIEF OF DUTIES
Advises D. c. Court He Is Not
Able to Serve Again on
School Board.

Ernest Greenwood. vice president
of the Board Of Education, in a let
ter to the judges of the District Su-
preme Court, yesterday, advised
them, "under no circumstances.
would he be a candidate for reap
pointment as a member of the board.
Mr.. Greenwood's term expires June 80.
Action Not Unexpected.
For a number of months Mr.. Green
wood has made it plain he intended
to retire from the board in June and
at the last meeting Of the citizens
representatives with school officials,
he cited this as a reason why he
could frankly discuss the pending
Gasque elective school board bill.
Mr.. Greenwood explained to the
judges that due to the pressure Of
his private business he can no longer
do justice to his school board duties.
The letter follows:
This Is to advise you that under
no circumstances will / be a candi-
of the Board of Education OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
Unable to Give Time.
During the first two years of my
service as a member Of the board I
was able to give considerable time to
work In the interest of the public
schools of the District. During the
past year have been able to give but
very little of my time and 1 now
feel that in justice to the school sys-
tenn 1 should have resigned some
months ago. l say this because I
feel that no one has a right to ac-
cept an appointment or remain as a
member of the Board of Education
unless he or she is prepared to give
up a very definite and considerable
portion of his or her time to this all
important work.
II do not know. of course, whether
I am being or would be considered
for reappointment by your honorable
body. l think, however. In all fair
ness to you and to the public school
system l should advise you that /
could not under any circumstances
consider accepting renewal Of my
appointment"

COMMITTEE FIGHTS
ON CRAMTON BILL
Andrews Favors Measure to
Place Dry Agents Under
Civil Service.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
While the "wets" were engaged ir
their public drive at the modifica
tion hearing yesterday "drys" anc
"wets" were locking horns before an
other Senate committee not far away
over the Cramton bill to place pro
hibition agents under civil service
That battle was behind closed doors
but from what leaked out it lacked
nothing in fire and color.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Andrews, in charge of prohibition
enforcement, was the principal wit
ness.
Wayne B. Wheeler general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League. and a
principal advocate of the bill. was
not present. Chairman Couzens an
nounced some days ago that Mr..
Wheeler could not appear before the
committee while he presided.
Asked if he favored the Cramton
bill, Gen. Andrews said:
Il think it would be well to bring
my men under prohibition"
That slip of the tongue brought a
smile even from the ''drys" present.
and he corrected himself to say civil
service" in place of prohibition"
Representative Cramton, Republi-
can. of Michigan. a leader of the
"drys" in the House, urged the bill
and was subjected to a grilling cross
examination by Senator Bruce, Demo-
crat, Maryland, an avowed wet. "
Senator Bruce emphasized that the
"drys" had changed front" on the
method of appointing prohibition
agents, calling attention that at the
outset they wanted such appointments
as patronage" for Senators and Rep
resentatives.
Representative Tinkham, Republi-
can, Massachusetts, one Of the House
wet" leaders, also addressed the COM
mittee, assailing the "drys" for what
he, too, charged to be a change of
position with respect to the method
of selecting prohibition agents.
