FIRE DEPARfAtE(T
SAVES $S9,SO0.0O
In YEAR 1926
]. M. CORBETT AGAIN ELECTED
CHIEF OF LOCAL FIREMEN:
MAKES SUGGESTIONS FOR
BETTERMENT OF SERVICE.

If Redwood Falls or any part Of the
surrounding territory burns up, it is
assuredly in spite of the strenuous eff
forts of the Redwood Falls Fire De-
partment which has responded to
twenty calls within the past year.
Nine of these were out of town calls
which constitute the more difficult
problem to the men of the Depart
ment. The losses for the year are
given by Chief Corbett as $21, ,675.00
while the property saved was $780,
10000.
The annual meeting of the Depart
ment was held recently and j. M.
Corbett was reelected Chief, j. Bru-
eske was made assistant chief, E.
Gallea secretary and Gene Charlie
bois treasurer. K. Kyram was ap-
pointed first lieutenant of the pump
er section and T. Olson the second
lieutenant. C. Schultz is first ieuten-
ant of the ladder company and G.
Mansfeldt the second lieutenant.
Since the Department started to
answer outside calls there have been
twenty such calls for help ans
wered. Fourteen of these were to
surrounding towns and thirteen to
farms in this vicinity. The value of
this service to farms or villages hav-
ing Inadequate protection is inesti-
mable and is possible only because the
local department has equipped itself
well and is prepared always to meet
emergencies. Too much cannot be
said in commentator Of the men who,
in the face of lack of intelligent un-
derstanding of their problems, unjust
and thoughtless criticism and none
too much money for the purchase of
equipment, have still been able to
make department which is effective
and widely useful.
Mr.. Corbett makes the following
suggestion for the betterment of the
service. eff those calling from out
of town who wish to call the de-
partment, whether in village or on a
farm, will always tell Central if cis-
tern water is available they will save
considerable time. The Department
cannot leave Redwood Falls until it
knows if the water supply can be-
used, and this should be part of the
information given when the alarm
is turned in. In most cases water in
wells cannot be reached and there
fore wells cannot be depended upon
to furnish sufficient water supply ex-
cept in those rare cases where the
water is very close to the surface.
A ditch or creek or nearby pond is
better than a well for this purpose.
Don't leave your phone until Central
has all the information she needs.
This will save time otherwise spent
in calling back to the scene of the
fire and will greatly quicken the SER
vice in the rural districts"
Then to the city dwellers Mr.. Cor
bett makes this significant and cas-
lily understood comment: DON'T
TRY TO BEAT THE DEPART
MENT TO THE FIRE!"

the Lamberton quint by 26 to 9

Coach Stockton used all of the first
team and most of the second team in
this game. Since the eligibility of
Arnett goes unquestioned now Stock
ton is using dot" at center, placing
Worsech in Schmid's place at for
ward and putting "Lally" at guard.
Theiring led the scorers with three
field goals and two free throws,
Arnett three field goals, Schmid two
of each variety, Peterson two field
baskets and one free throw with Wor-
sech getting but one free throw. Red
wood made six free throws out of
IL attempts while Lamberton made
five out of thirteen.
The Tracy game Saturday night
was hard to lose for the locals. With
the exception of nine baskets scored
by Larson, Tracy only accounted for
three field goals but Larson could not
be stopped. Time after time he would
dribble through the defense of Red
wood and make his shot The count

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Sept. 3.
An all-American semi-fnal round
was to be played today in the ma
tional doubles tournament at Long
wood following the Surprising elini-
nation of both French teams in
Fridays quarter finals.
In a match that went to five sets,
John Doeg, the left-handed Cali
fornian, and George M. Lott, Jr.,
of Chicago, defeated Henri Cochet,
Wimbledon champion, and Jacques
Brugnon, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 81.
Fridays second upset was provid-
ed by John Hennessey of Indian
apolis and Lucien E. Williams of
Chicago, who won in straight sets
from Rene La Coste and Jean b.
rotra, 6-3, 6-2, GA.
Local Star Flashes
- Hennessey and Williams proved
themselves as strong on the turf as
on the clay courts. They drove and
volleyed with exceptional steadiness
and showed good generalship in
placing shots in unguarded terri
tory. Hennessey was the outstand-
ing star of the match, but received
able support from Williams, whose
game, while somewhat less spectacu-
lar, was consistent and effective.
Game after game went to the clay
court champions with monotonous
regularity until the middle of the
third set. At that point, France
stiffened and for a few games pro-
vided real opposition.
The outcome of the match was
never in doubt, however, at any
time during the play. The youth
full Hennessey fairly radiated con-
fidence and neither he nor Williams
appeared to be suffering from an
inferiority complex in the face Of
what had promised to be hopelessly
strong opposition.
T6day's Matches
In the semi-flnal test today, the
brilliant Hennessey- Williams combi-
nation was to face William T. Til
den and Francis T. Hunter, who
Friday won easily from Nathaniel
w. Niles of Boston, and Watson
Washburn of New York, 8-6, go, GA.
Doeg and Lott we're to meet Will
liam Johnston and Richard N. Will
liams, who entered the semi-finals
with straight-set victory over
James Davies and Gerald Stratford,
Pacific Coast champions, Us, 90,
6-1.

Major League
Comment

By United, Press
The Pirates gained a full game
hold on the National League lead
when they beat st. Louis, 5 to 8,
while Cincinnati shut out the Cubs,
5 to O.. The Cards fought hard in
the ninth inning, but could only get
two of the four runs needed to tie
the score. Alexander allowed the
Pirates fifteen hits. Rabbit" Mar
awhile, veteran major Lacquer pur-
chased from Rochester, was in the
Cards lineup at shortstop.
May limited the Cubs to three hits
and they didn't have chance. The
score would have been much differ
ent, however, if the Cubs infield
hadn't failed completely in the
fourth inning, allowing the Reds to
score four of their runs.
The Braves squeezed single runs
across in three innings to win a
tight game from Brooklyn, 3 to 2.
r. Smith, Boston, and McWeeny,
Brooklyn, pitched.
Lou Gehrig hit two home runs

The Yanks made twenty hits of

theirs and beat the Tigers, to 2

Monday Popular Move.

With the reappeafance of the In
dians at Washington Park today,
under the ownership of James A.
Perry Of indianapolis, announce
ment was made regarding the off,
GERS who will direct the business
policies of the Tribesmen now that
