Joe Mccarthy and Jimmy Burke
often lunched together in New
York when they were manager and
coach, respectively, Of the Cubs.
The waiter at their favorite reStau-
rant got confused and thought
Burke was Mccarthy. One day
Mccarthy dined there with a sports
writer and Burke wasn't present.
The waiter was asked: DO you
know Joe Mccarthy" And the re-
ply was: Eyes. He's a big, red
faced 1rishman, always popping OF.

One Of the first Brooklyn players
to sign up this year was FrescO
Thompson, second Sacker, recently
Of the Iast-piace PhiIIieS. No doubt
he decided to hurry up and become
friendly with his new bOsSes-after
all those years with the lowly
Quakers.

Gus Mancuso, St Louis Cardinal

release from Los Angeles the other

Milwaukee and the Brewers an
nounced he was for sale. Indian
apolis made a good offer and 1t was
rejected. The Indians stacked up
promising that spring and Milwau-
kee realized 1t and decided 1t would
be 'unwise" TO give them more
strength. The Tribe finished sec

The San Francisco Seals are 60

Frank Davis Proves False Alarm at Brooklyn Blaze
 Judge Sends Him to Cooler for Ten Days

Prank Davis, 39, of 147 Washing ton avenue attempted to pinch-hit last evening for both Chief Henry H. Heitman and Superintendent of Po- lice Joseph H. Mclean. His double feature act was staged during the course of a fire on Railroad Hill street. Davis was in his home when the blaze started and when the ap- paratus came sirening along the way. The sight of the fire and the sound of the siren sent him into action. He responded to the alarm He rushed dered cops around and became gen. eralissimo of the situation.
 Davis was working out fine when Patrolmen Lovallo and Deeley as a special committee awaited upon him and asked him to retire to the side lines. What an insult to Davis. Boy, he was out to accomplish things, not to be mere spectator. He shouted this and he shouted that and ran hither and thither. He was a general all right, but mostly a general nuisance. After being sent home several times
 the police decided that not the heat of the fire, but the "canned heat
 that he had consumed had him all
 afire, hot. and bothered as 1t were.
 He also had the cops the same way.
 What way? Oh yes, hot and bother

Hartford, Conn, May 7-UP)- The state to-day rested its case against Frederic D. Kingston, mill lionaire broker, and four associates, on trial before Superior Court Judge Frank P. McHvoy on fraud charges.

Daily, receiver for the Connecticut Utilities corporation and the Con- necticut Trading corporation, two of the subsidiary trading firms which F. E. Kingston and company was alleged to have manipulated fraudulently.
 Daly told Defense Lawyer Charles J. Martin he was unable to estimate the liquidation value of the King ston company's portfolio.

The court called a receis before hearing arguments on the motions.
