WE SHOULD BE PROUD CT OUR FIRE DEPT

The country town fire de oartment has long been favor
lite theme for scenario writer's Of moving picture comedies to
enlarge upon.
Outlandish uniforms, freak equipment and the pande-
monium that arose when a fire occurred has never failed to
arouse side splitting hilarty on the part of the audiences who
have viewed these films. Similar instances taken from real
lite are still in the memory of most people who have lived in
small towns, and the humor strikes home.
But comedy fire departments are more or less a thing
of the past. That is true Of the P~lentywood department at
least.
There is every bit as much speed and machinelke eff
cheney in the work of the local fire department as there is in
a well manned metropolitan unit. Each member has an as
signed task and gives careful and conscientious thought to
every detail concerning it.
When a fire occurs there is no confusion, no wild yell
ling, no needless destructive ~salvaging of property and unless
the situation is extreme, the department takes care of the
emergency without the aid of outside help.
Plentywoods fire insurance rate is SURPRISINGLY low
when one takes into consideration the large number of frame
buildings IN the town $ business section. The people of Plen-
tywood have the local fire department to thank for this
fortunate situation.
Attendance at the Firemens annual ball next Friday
evening IS one way in which the people of this community
may show their appreciation.

WAKE UP, COMMERCIAL CLUB

Business is very, very quiet in Plentywood.
1t shouldn't be.
This should be one of the best seasons of the wear for
both the merchant and the shopper.
The trouble is, the shopper cannot get here. %Plentywood
is snowbound.
The situation represents a loss of hundreds of dollars
to Plentywood merchants for each day that the blockade
exists.
1t Is an unnecessary loss.
A live and kicking commercial club would devise ways
and means OF getting action and getting it pronto.
1t used to be a common practice for towns to hibernate
after the first or second fall Of snow arrived, but it isn't any
more for live and progressive towns and cities have found i
to be poor business and quite unnecessary.
Now that the thermometer has gone up to zero, we are
almost inclined to believe that spring has came.

For the Giants, those bows whose
love for the Cubs is akin to that
dear devotion existing between
sailors and marines are in the Windy
City for four games. And no doubt
determined to make a clean sweep.
For in addition to the joy that pro-
longing the agony of the Cubs would
bring. McGraw's men have several
other little matters to settle, includ-
ing Mel Otis desire to break
Hornsby's home run record and Bill
Terry's ambition to top the Rajah

series may see him set a new mark.

BOSTON. TAR
SAYSHE IL
NBOlJT

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The
Jack Sharkey-Tommy Lough-
ran 15-round fistic duel at the
Yankee Stadium week from
tomorrow is likely to have a
house close to the 100000
mark. The advance sale, it is
reported, has already reached
$150,0O0.
The result of the fight is a much
mooted question. It's a close fit
they say. The betters are bidding
their time about it. Down in Wall
Street it's cnly even money and
take your pick. It's not better
than that any other place.
The prices which are rated $1.O5
for admission and reserved seats
running $3.15, $5.74. $1S and $26 for
ringside has its appeal too, and
maybe record crowd will be there
on fight night.
Sharkey, the Boston Tar, Is
much concerned about what
Tuffy Griffiths may have in
store for him in the future.
The great fight that the Sioux
City heavyweight made against DR..
Ludwig Haymann has given the
COB food for thought. He watched
Tuffy go through those four whirl-
wind rounds, and then pronounced
him finally as the fellow he proba-
bly, would have to meet in about a
year.
The impending Tommy Loughran
match was of less import to him
at the time. He thinks that
fight is in for him; that he will
win quick enough. but may be
forced into a match with The ris-
Ing Iowan next winter, in case
that Max Schmeling affair is not
cleared up and he Is permitted
to fight again in this country.
Sharkey started his real hard
work at Orangeburgh camp for
the Loughran fight. He went
into his boxing drills heavier than
ever and went through several
rounds with Jack Gagnon and Ar
mand Emmanuel.
He - only four pounds above
the weight he will show In the
ring. tipping the beam yester.
day at 1876 pounds.
BY easy stages he will work
down to the weight he prescribed
for himself. In his boxing it was
noticed that he was developing a
stronger body attcak than ne was
wont to show in any fights.
A sweeping left hook to the
body followed by right cross
was what he was plying on Gag
non. He thinks that he will reach
Loughran's softest spot with a
body attack, bring down his great
guard and be able to whip over
his right for knockout.
Really Sharkey expects to win
in about seven or eight rounds.
but an expert who was on hand
at Orangeburgh, one with slight
Loughran leaning, declared that
Sharkey wouldn't hit him on the
hips in seven rounds.

GAMBLERS BUSY
At YANK GAMES

For sheer animation and excite
ment, an Alekine chess match has
it all over a ball game at the
stadium these days.
New York may be fed up on
world series and blase as concerns
championships, but it certainly
doesn't pep up any over a loser,
either. But for the baseball writer's,
who go because they have to. and
gamblers, who go to risk a few
dollars daily, the stadium practically
is deserted.
Those gamblers, however, are
always on the job, and the bOzO
who thinks there's no betting on
ball games any more is cuckoo.
Up at the stadium every day
there are IS to 100 men, sitting
always in the same seats i'm
section Il. of the lower stands,
who wager and wager plenty.
A fellow with a pocket full OF
money and a yen for action Ger.
tainly can get it up there. Any.
thing is fit for bet. You can get
your money covered that a player
makes a hit or flies out: that the
Babe hits homer or strikes out
that q hitter gets to first or goes

And no piker stuff, either. Ac.
cording to a prominent Broadway

AS long ago as last Saturday 4
the thing was conceded to be only
a courtesy gesture, like a guest
card for any of the out of town
elevator starters, but today the
Cubs are still that remarkably long
mathematical inch away. They had
two chances at it yesterday and
missed both so badly that the wind
blew down an old beer sign the
residents OF Cicero had been saving
for the Smithsonian Institute.
In any case, courtesy seems to be
running for Ignatz the iceman as
far as the rest of the National
League Is concerned. 1t was possi-
BILE, for example, for the Cubs to
win the pennant officially on
Saturday. All they had to do was
beat the iPhillies provided the
Pirates lost But the Pirates didn't
lose and the Cubs didn't play be-
cause of rain. SO the business went
over to Sunday, with the following
result: The Cubs won and the
Pirates didn't play because of rain.
On Monday, the program was
varied but the result remained
the same. This time the Pirates
won two and the Cubs didn't
play because of rain. Yesterday,
1t didn't seem possible that any"
thing could further delay the
hour Of triumph.
The Pirates had a single game
with the PhilIies, which they might
have lost, whereas. the Cubs had
two with the Dodgers, who had
won only four starts in 20 with
the Chicago over the stretch of the
season. 1t looked. indeed, like
form letter A in the series, entitled
success by postage, but it must
have been valentine day to the
lettercarrier. Anyhow, the Pirates
won again and the Cubs blew both
starts, even after overtaking a six
run deficit in the first game and
another of five runs in the second.
DaZzy Vance, the lad who usually
has them licked simply by staring
at them in a very marked manner,
was chased out of there while the
Cubs were taking a 7.to.6 lead in
the opener. Yet they couldn't win.
Then they sent their ace, Guy Bush,
after the second game, and all he
5OI was the exercise, u nOUlSr py
Bissonette stalking the Dodgers to

another by Herman wining the
sour balls in the eighth. Carlson,
| blown off the premises in the
opened, was the victim of this lat
ter atrocity, giving him a perfect
average on the day-twO starts,
two stops.
This combination OF circumstances
proved very disquieting today to
the honest souls who for weeks have
been cheering vociferously for the
| Chicago victory that seemingly Chi
cago declines to accept. However.
the cheer still goes. The Cubs may
be able to lose the pennant during

PICK HANEL

Charles Pick) HameI, former Dis
trict sandlot baseball sensation who
this year performed with the Char
lotte Bees of the South Atlantic
League, has been sold to the Mem.
phis Chickasaws of the Southern AS
sociation at q reported price Of
$500.
The versatile little star, who
played the outfield with Charlotte.
was considered one OF the fastest
players in the Sally circuit and also
connected for 1927 with the fail.
1t is understood that several
Offere were advanced for Hamel's
services prior to the seasons
close, but after considering them
all Charlotte finally decided to
accept the Memphis proposition.
Another x-Washington sandlot-
ter, Pitcher Larry Boerner, is an
other widely sought by minor league
clubs Of higher classification.
Reporting to the Bees in mid-sea-
son Boerner played his part in keep
ing them in the pennant race, win
ming IL games and losing six for the
year. Two of his efforts were two.
hit shutouts, while he also delivered
creditably In q relief capacity.
The Minneapolis MilIers, Of the
American Association, attempted
to purchase BOerner for immedi-
ate delivery late i'm the year but
since Charlotte was still in the
championship running the offer
was declined.
Both Boerner and Hamel have
been roundly praised by Charlotte
scribes for their 1929 performances
and established themselves as prime
favorites throughout their loop.
Hamel was originally an all.around
flash with the Southeast Shamrocks
OF this city, while Boerner learned
his baseball with the Epiphany
Churchmen. Both have had preVi'
Gus minor league experience.
