When Forests Flame

cough to the tents to make our hair
stnd on end.
IS we We're cycling that map with

fiam the fire. He said we would be
III no real danger before noon the next
day. As his wife had their tent down
and everything packed in the car, they
drove out that night. But the cook
ard her daughter decided to stay and
keep the kitchen fires burning and
elected to wait for my husband So
the night closed down. Everyone was
trying to be very matter of fact and
blot the memory of our earlier frenzy
from the public mind. And suddenly
the sky illuminated. One moment it
was deep blue and the next it was
flaming red. 1t was as though some
one had opened the furnace door. One
moment it glowed with an awful
beauty, and the next it slowly faded.
Some woman screamed.
We had discovered earlier in the
day that the best view was to be had
from the skidway and by common con-
sent we started in that direction. Pres
emily the sky famed again, then
slowly died down. In an awed voice
someone suggested that the fire was
browning when the heavens blazed
like that. Sitting on the high poles
we watched with bated breath that
awful illumination More men drifted
up toward US and the cook called, Get
your poles. We're going to roost like
chickens tonight
The grave danger seemed to be, not
SO much that the fire would roll
down upon us as that it might cut
off the road. We hoped there were

bing with WEAKNESS, so we trailed
back to the tents.
But what chance was there to rest
with that terrible mock sunset paint
ing the sky at ten minute intervals?
There was no way to shut it out; it
lighted the interior of the tents. The
wind which had died down to whine
IN. the evening, rose again and our
nerves We're further tortured by the
crash of an occasional falling tree.
Toward morning the sky stayed
dark Very likely the fire had burned
over one of those humps and was
down in the hollow and the wind was
at peace for space so we fell into
fitful slumber.
In the morning it all seemed like a
bad dream. The, air was crystal clear
and it did not seem possible that a
fire was close. But while we watched
a segment of smoke drifted up the
creek ravine as mud wells up from
the bottom of limpid stream after
a frog leaps in. AS usual the fire
and smoke were going the other way
but little was following the draw
and waving warning. By 9 o'clock
word had come from the ranger cabin
that we had better evacuate camp,
and before night we had folded our
tents like the Arabs and as silently
stole way"

but sure! We spoke of the chance we
would have if we had to take the trail
out. The cook, who was stout and
had bad heart said she knew she
could never make the climb. The
checker, trying to joke her into for
getting her apprehension said, eff the
fire gets here I'll take you on my back
and Skinny under my arm and hit the
trail" Whereupon Helen promptly re-
piled, well, you would have to go
some to catch Skinny if that fire gets
here"
At last the cook said she must get
some rest or there would be no break
fast in the morning, and we suddenly
realized that our bodies were throb-

NEW YORK, April 1S.-A solu'

in sight today.

Arthur Bulow for Schmeling's serv-

the commission at this meeting,
which will also be attended by Joe
Jacobs and Charley Rose, to whom
Bulow transferred part of his finan-
cial interest in SchmeIing some time
ago.
1t is believed that Jack Dempsey,
representing the Dempsey -FugaZy-
Cole combination, and Jess Nc
Mahon are willing to waive nego-
tiations with Schmeling through
Bulow until after the milk fund

rangement between the Bulow and

PIX[EE. To VISIT
HERE IN MAY


James Pixlee, the newly ap-
pointed athletic director at George
Washington University, who as
sumes his duties in September,
will pay a preliminary visit to
the local institution early next
month.
here some two weeks and outline
his policy and set the preliminary
machinery for the development OF
varsity timber he's an extensively
compulsory athletic program for
all students when he returns to
the helm in the fall.
The latter plan Is the idea
of President 6. H. Marvin. 1t
Is expected to be a pr0vider
Of better material for varsity
teams as well as to act as
boon to the pacscIpants
from the heaIthfuI recreation,
relaxation and exercise it af-
fOrds.
PixIee at present is director Of
athletics at Westminster College
in Nebraska. He has enjoyed sue.
cessful seasons there in all major
sports in the last four years and
comes here with the highest
recommendations from athletic
leaders In the midwest, Major
John L. Griffiths, director of the
Western Conference, among them.
In a recent interview given to
Kansas City Newspaperrnan Pixlee
gave out some novel IDEAS as to
athletic participation and regula-
ton. Among the points Pixlee is
credited with having raised is, that
he would take a baseball player
this if he were managing a pro-
fessional club who is at the top
of his game out of the lineup, if
possible Give him a few days
relaxation. Let him eat what he
wants and keep away from the ball
park.
"When he comes back he is
eager to play. He has enthu.
siaSm and he won't go stale.
Nor does he fall into slump"
Pixlee continued, "that a player
can't function at top speed very
long, so college men, highly special
lied, must have expert attention
from trainers. A competent trainer
can prevent sprained ankles or SIM
liar injuries. He would know which
players had weak ankles or similar
weaknesses and guard against JIM
juries by wrapping the members to
insure practically absolute protec-
ton without impairing their value
an iota.".

CENTRAL TECH.
PLAY TODAY
By Juno Kinerk

Promptly at 3:15 o'clock this after
noon the twice-deferred Central

starts on the Eastern stadium dia-
mond. After much comforting be-
tween officials of the two schools

lie u. Frosh- Eastern game by the
former, leaving the diamond avail
able, the two rivals are having it
out.
Capt. Sanford Ross, sparkling

Coach Kimble win have to sing
a song or do q dance to divert
them because he hasn't another
reliable pitcher.
True. he has two or three lads
who say they are pitchers, but that
doesn't make them pitchers. Some
one could tell you he was Presi-
dent Hoover, too, but proving it
would be something else. That's
exactly the Central pitching situa-
ton save for Ross.
Central probably viii have a
boy named Joe on first base. At
least 1t may be a boy named Joe;
or it may be boy named John,
or Bill.
Coach Kimble, to say the least,
is perturbed about his first base
player and also is in the dark as
to his identity. BeaZley, his regu-
lar first sacker, is on the shelf
with an injury, and as this paper
went to press Coach Kimble
wasn't sure but what he might
not play first himself today. This
Is unlikely, however, for the rules
provide otherwise.
Except for first base, Central

BY =. A. wray

LONDON, April 18.-"We
shall win the Ryder cup and
the open golf championship
as well. !"
This was the prediction made to-
day by George Duncan, captain Of
the British Ryder Cup golf team.
His confidence was reflected as he
continued:
"This talk about American pre-
eminence is nonsense. Certainly,
the Americans have done particu-
larly well in the postwar British
championships, but i think they
have had rather the better of the
luck. The pendulum cannot always
swing one way. and it is swinging
back to Britain now.
'Tt kas been sad that =
British golfer is afflicted by an
fnferiOrity complex when he
plays against an American, and
consequently he is beaten by his
own Imagination. Rubbish!
'In the case of Walter Hagen the
Americans have an amazing person
ality. He never knows defeat, and,
to an extent, he might !. bue an
opponent with a sense OF his mag
nificence.' But that is not going to
happen at Moortown. Walter will
not get away with it for he is not
going to pull the wool over any
British eyes this year.
"I say that we shall be confident
from the word go; confident all
through the match and victorious
at the finish. 1 am not alone In
thinking this. Ask any one of my
men and see what he thinks of his
own individual chance of winning.
There never was a BONNER crew.
Show me the man on the Ameri-
can side who is to beat Abe
Mitchell. Here is a golfer who, on
his day, is a world beater and then
some. 1t Is all very well to dis
cover that he has never won an
open championship. That does not
make him any less a golfer.
Look at his record in match
play. It is an outside in feathers
in anybody's cap to score off Abe
Mitchell in 36-hole match. Take
your pick of the Americans and
range your selection against Abe
Mitchell, and all my money is on
Abe.
There is myself. Let me say
am on top Of my game and
that feel inspired because
have been elected to the cap.
taincy. You can book ms for
a victory.
''Then, Archie Compston. He Is
the Jack.the-G -Giant.Killer of our
side. He fears no man nor any
two men and he Is good enough
player to justify his tremendous
confidence in himself.
Consider the two whitcombes.
To play against them is to test
your strength against an automatic
machine. They are so absolutely
steady. SO impervious to the achieve
ments Of their opponents that they
usually win by attrition.
I'VE have a magnificent team
a well balanced team. Any one Of
US is capable Of winning the open
championship. If the Americans
beat US then / take off my hat to
them. but until they do so 1t is
Ryder cock horse for me-"
