Mack OF the Athletics has secured to
take South with the Athletics next
Spring, also is from Washington.
Mack. after seeing him pitch several
days ago, said he was the most prom.

Besides proving one of the best
managers the league ever has had in
his first season as a pilot, his playing
at first base has been prominent in
his teams drive to the top of the cir

BIG FIRE DAMAGE
Blanchard Block In Southbridge
 Burns.-Reports Exaggerated

4 fire which started just as the the atre in Southbridge was letting out, Wednesday night, developed into one of the worst conflagrations the town has experienced in some years. The fire destroyed the Blanchard block and damaged other nearby buildings. The loss is estimated at s250,000.
 As bad as the fire was, II was not as bad as the stories that reached Putnam Thursday morning. Rumors flew about the city that the whole Of Southbridge's Main street was mass of flame. A number of Putnam peo- pie. including Fire Chief Thurston' went to Southbridge. Upon their re- turn it was learned that the fire was practically confined to the one busi- ness block
 At a time the flames became so threatening that help was called and the Webster fire department gave aid to the tired Southbridge fremen. Five people were carried or assisted from the burning building. None were in- itired. Bremen suffered from the cold and some had their hands slight lV frozen.
