Spectacular Fire Does
Damage of About 100000

San Pedro. Cal. June Q tR -
A spectacular fire which broke out
in the gas agtator Of the Union
Oil company refinery between here
and Wilmington last night, was
brought under control after raging
for almost two hours. Damage was
estimated in excess of 100000.
The fire was started by two sue
cessive explosions in the gas agita-
tor and the damage was said to be
principally to the costly machinery
in this part of the plant.
Windows We're blown out of
nearby shops, but none of the EN-
ployes was injured.
Origin Of the blasts was believed
to have been due to too rapid feed
ing OF the acid which is used In the
agitation process.

vigilance today as consequence Of
two terrorist outrages and a huge

a protest against the assassination al

From afternoon until a late hour
last night the streets leading to the
Polish embassy were filled with dem

special Russian troops kept them
away from the building.
The bombing of a hall in which
the Leningrad communist discussion
club was meeting Tuesday night,
was followed yesterday by the blow
ing up OF a trolley car in which a
lieutenant OF the Polish intelligence
service. suspected of espionage. was
being taken to Minsk from the Pol
ish frontier. Vice-Chief Opansky, OF
the state political police, and two OF
his assistants were killed by the ex-
piosion Of bomb which had been
placed on the track. while the pris-
oner was seriously injured. In the
bombing OF the communist club, rs
persons, among them ten young wo-
men, were injured. The bomb throw

The Polish authorities, according
to Warsaw dispatches, are doing

boxing SITUATION
IS UP IN The AIR
Ring Fans Guessing How Tex
Rickard viii Solve Problem
BY the Associated rresA

BY the Associated rresa
New York, June 8 R - The
present 'watchful waiting" policy
in cauliflower circles appears. at
least. to be giving ringside observ-
ers an opportunity to put on file
their guesses as to how Tex Rick
ard will solve his heavyweight puz-
zle.
1t is possible just now. for in
stance, to take your pick from
these widely varying predictions:
l.. Jack Dempsey Is merely STALL
ing to. help the "bally-hoo" and
won't fight again at all. thereby as
surfing match between Gene Tun-
ney and Jack Sharkey for the
title.
2. Dempsey will postpone his
comeback and meet the winner of
"a sharkey-Tunney bout. either this
fall or next year.
3. Dempsey will announce his
come back shortly and sign to meet
Sharkey in August. the winner to
meet Tunney in September.
4. Tex Richard is about con-
WINGED that this is an "off" year for
big box-office attractions, especially
if Dempsey doesn't return to the
ring, and will put of the next
heavyweight championship fray
until 1928.
IS. If big championship fight is
held, Chicago's big arena, Soldiers
field, will provide the scenery. in
preference to New York or Phila-
delphia.
Considering the width Of range, 1t
seems likely that at least one or two
of these predictions will hit the
mark.
New Britain herald., 1927-06-09

Considering that Bobby Jones has
finished 2-1-2-2-1 In the last hve
American open championships, be-
sides bagging the British open title
last year. it isn't so surprising that
the invading representatives OF John
Bull regard the American champion
ship next week at Oakmont as prin-
cipally a battle against the great
Georgian.
"Oh. Jones." any OF the Britons
will say at the mention OF his name
and dismiss the subject with a ges-
ture Of the hands expressive of a
conviction that the Atlanta amateur
is in class by himself as a shot
maker.
The era when golfer spoke with
something akin TO reverence OF the
names of Braid. Taylor and Vardon.
Britain's famous triumvirate. has
faded to the background in the al
most awe-lise regard nowadays for
Bobby.
"The best thing that has happened
to Babe Ruth this year Is the way
he has been spurred on by his clout-
ing teammate. Lou Gehrig." says
Artie McGovern, the Bambino's
trainer.
There's nothing the big fellow
likes more than competition. Gehrig
is giving him plenty and l think 1t
has lot to do with the fact that the
Babe has been getting his homers at
a pace as swift as he Travelled in
establishing his record in 1921.
Perhaps you also have noticed"
McGovern went on. that Ruth
hasn't let out a single squawk this
year on the field. There was time
when he was called the bad boy
Of baseball but he is paying strict
attention to business these days. !
The Babe likes his homers as we'll
as anybody. a bit more perhaps.
and he won't relish the idea of
Gehrig or anyone else stepping out
ahead Of him.
Apropos Of the Yankees brace Of
belters. the views of Dan Howley. |
new manager OF the Browns, may
be OF interest.
THE way they are going now"
says Dan, II would rather see Ruth
at bat than Gehrig. We can usual
ly count on the Babe to do one of |
two things bust up the ball game
or strike out. But Gehrig is liable
to do anything: slap one to right, !
left or center when you least en-
pect It,"

 such a change should be brought about by December 1929. as that Is the last day. when changes may be made for 1883, by the Green wich and the United States naval obaorvatorics." He asked the Cham bcr to give the subject prompt and earnest consideration.
 | "One reason for this is that it is a prime requisite for the simplitlod calendar 10 have January on a Sunday. The first available Sunday as New Years day comes in 1933 after which no year is available un- til 1889. Calculations for the astro- nouical, tide and other tables are made about six years in advance by the British. American. French. Ger man and Spanish governments.
