Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 4.-The
Annapolis State House was endangered
by fire last night shortly after 8 o'clock
Fortunately the blaze was discovered
soon after its origin and the loss was
confined to approximately $500.
Discovered by Waterman.
George Mace, one of the watchmen
at the State House, discovered the
flames while walking past an outside
window Of the basement. 1t happened
that Jesse A. Fisher, Annapolis fire
marshal, was in the State House at
the time, meeting with the Anne Arun-
del County Electrical Committee ap-
pointed at the last session of the Leg
islature, and he quickly took charge
Of combating the flames.
The hose and fire equipment in the
State House was pressed into service
by Marshal Fisher with the assistance
of Lee Kries, a State employe, and
others. The flames were soon subdued,
but flremen from the WaterWitch Com
pany were called in to tear down lath-
ing and plaster to prevent spread
through the rafters to other parts of
the building.
Spontaneous Combustion Blamed.
According to Fire Marshal Fisher
the fire was caused by storing rags and
paint in the basement under the old
Senate chamber. He said spontaneous
combustion had caused the fire. 1t
was pointed out by the marshal that
paint work Is now being done on the
State House.
Fire Marshal Fisher has in his re-
ports pointed to the basement of the
State House as a fire hazard. How
ever, the condition was recently rem
edied and only because of this was the
blaze held to less serious proportions,
1t Is reported.

20 years ago. kids those days we're
filled with base ball interest There

The kids of those old days studied

easier to fool nov than they were Is
years ago. Maybe my old soup bone
is getting better with the years But
l don't think so-those hitters today
are not as smart as they should be-
Only one organized base ball Of

years. About sir years ago an offer

Pitching three nine-inning games in
one day is the Southeast boys claim to
iron man fame. That happened back ir
1915 when the lefthander's fast bal
must have been working at its best, fol
he took the entire set.
And his favorite game was a bat
tie with the Quantico Marines in
1917, when his catcher. Monk Fraser
dropped the third strike to permit
the run to be scored which won the
tuSsle for the sea soldiers. Lefty had
famed 13 of the Marines. then one
of the best teams of its kind in this
section.
But what Lefty has done does not
seem to cause him as much concern as
what he expects to do this season with
the Judd & Detweiler team during the
week. and the French Store nine on
Sunday. Lefty is no one-team pitcher
even after % years of hurting. 1t takes
two teams to keep the southpaw active
With his promised change Of pace,
