position but because of the need OF
/ fire prevention.
There is destruction of value in
each fire. he declared, "as well as
the resulting danger in the number
of lives lost and the number of per-
sons injured. Fires are unnecessary
and are caused by carelessness and
negligence. If We can prevent them
we will have accomplished a great
deal"
Fire Commissioner John J. Dor
man presided at the exercises and
congratulated the children upon
their success in the city-wide COM
petition.

you put into the composition which
l had the privilege of reading" he
said, because we are interested in
bringing home to the people of the
city just what fire prevention
means"
Pointing out that sixteen firemen
had lost their lives during the last
year, the Commissioner declared
that more than 80 per cent of the
fires are found to be preventable.
You can't blame us for asking
you to be more careful" he added.
While awaiting the Acting May
or's arrival, Commissioner Dorman
introduced Fire Chief John ]. Nc
ElligOtt to the gathering of children,
their parents and other spectators,
and also introduced Chief Peter G.
Spence of the Fire Prevention Bur
eau.
In urging the children to practice
the fundamentals of fire prevention
that they had outlined in thei" es-
says, Chief Spence spoke of the vast
amount of damage caused by fire
during the last year. He estimated
the number of lives lost as 116, with
a property damage of $15,000,00O in
more than $1,000 fires.
The school children, after assem-
bling at the north end of the NUM-
cipal Building, marched to the City
Hall behind the band of the Fire
Department. Eleven children at the
head of the column of marchers

General Rowsn was non-commit-

FELTON, on Thursday to make a per-
sonal inspection of the site. He also
conferred with Leonard L. Wales,
U. S. district attorney, regarding
what action could be taken against

the crew was made up of practically

The scene of the shooting was

two years ago. 1t was reported that
approximately 10 shots were fired

a fellowship OF business and pro-
fessional men united IN the ideal of
service can develop.
With this understanding comes
the knowledge Of greater and
much more far reaching fellowship
than that offered by the individual
Rotary club. Tie men OF each bus
mess or profession promoting the
interests of one community, arrive
at an understanding of the fact that
they have fellowship with the men
of their same businesses and pro-
fessions in other communities, that
is far more deeply rooted than their
fellowship with the members of
their own clubs. They begin to un-

young, or caring for the sick and
afflicted are basic human needs and
that without regard to the form as
sumed by the services that meet
these needs-theY are the same SER
vices the world around, meeting the
same problems and solving them in
the same basic ways. And so the
grocer and the teacher and the doc
tor of every community the world
around have deeper and greater
fellowship each with the other, than
is possible with men of different
and professions.
And so, through Rotary, through
the ideal of service as promoting the
interests of the community, and the
business or professional
man delivering his share Of service
personally-there will come about |
that understanding, that goodwill
which will make for friendship. For
after all, the world is but a great

notes the interests of any part of it
and constantly is the high

BUSINESS, and civic life-makes Ro-

THE SPORTLICHT
by CRANTLAND RICE

TINE leading soothsayers and
prophets, who have been an
swering all the queries and
solving all future developments
without the flicker Of an eyelash, have
now left for a vacation.
The National League race has driven
them into temporary exile, far from
the madding crowd.
There was Pittsburgh leading the
league by six games few weeks ago.
There was Brooklyn foundering In the
middle of base balls dismal swamp
Pittsburgh had Brooklyn outclassed.
And then Brooklyn, the trailer. wins
20 out of her next Is contests and
Pittsburgh, the leader, loses IA out OF
16 starts.
When a double turnover such as that
can happen, one mans guess is as bad
as another. 1t was one of the most
striking double reversals of form in
base ball history, and with Chicago's
Cubs gliding smoothly along, the older
circuit suddenly has one Of the best
three -cornered scraps down the stretch
that base ball has seen in long time.
TUBs and Pirates carry temporary
~ advantage. playing at home for a
while. There's nothing like being
close to the fragrant odor of home
cooking when you are in tough spot.
But if Max Carey's revived Dodgers
can hang on within two or three games
of the top until they blow back to
Brooklyn, they have a great chance

PHILLIPS WINS RACE
I AT AGE OF 80 YEARS
'Uncle Stephen" Caps 75 Years on
! Track by Driving His Trotter
to Victory.

BY the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE,
w Ohio, August 19.-Wearing light
ly his 80 years, Uncle Stephen
Phillips yesterday drove to another and
probably his last victory over the track
where he started his racing career
"gosh-awful many years ago."
Amid the deafening roar of the
spectators, the veteran who for rs years
has owned, trained and raced harness
horses, whipped up his own trotter,
Frederick Mckinney, to pass Miss
Marion Toddle in the final stretch and
win in 2:13. He had finished fifth in
the first heat and fourth in the second,
both In PIP.
Grinning broadly and tossing back
his shoulders in a gesture of defiance
20 the years, Uncle Steve" then drove
slowly back to the judges stand. Loud
cheers rang across the track as he was
greeted by David S. ingalls,, Republican
gubernatorial nominee, and presented
with big easy chair by admiring race
fans.
I'm pretty tuckered" he admitted
as he stretched out In the chair placed

of the race. Even Boston, st. Louis
and Philadelphia can't be counted out
yet. Some fast stepping will put any
one of the three back in the middle OF
the picture.
There is a possibility that Septem-
bers final rush will have at least four
ball clubs with stout chances, since
no National League entry yet has been
strong enough to show any dominating
quality. All this will mean good money
for the entire league, even in tough
economic year, when the job OF break
ing even is no easy matter.
FRANCIS oUIMET, the defending
l. amateur golf champion, faces a
heavy invading attack in the wake
of the recent qualifying rounds for Bal
timore's big show. Most of the good
ones broke safely through from every
sector. Take Don Moe, Chandler Egan
and Frank Dolp from the Northwest
Charley Seaver and Harry Eichelberger
from Los Angeles, the brilliant Gus
Moreland from Texas, Jackson, Carter
and Carew from the Rocky Mountain
Range; Johnny Goodman from Omaha,

Evans, Westland and others from the
Midwest; Mckenzie, Howell, Sweetser
Dunlap, eLC., ITOUl IIlc Cdot, plus IVOc1
Somerville of Canada and the British
Walker Cup team-and you have all
the competition any veteran champion
cares to face.
Ouimet waited II years to regain his
old throne. The able Bostonian. play
ing as well as he ever played, will turn
on a flock of fireworks before he leaves
the Maryland turf.
THE battle of Baltimore will be one
i of the best. On the one side there
is the old guard-Francis Outmet
Jimmy Johnston, Chick Evans, Chandler
Egan (who won the title % years ago.
Max Marston, Jesse Guilford, jess
Sweetser "a veteran at the age Of 30)
and several more one might name. On
the other plateau there are Gus More
land, Johnny Goodman, George Dunlap
Tommy Taller. Billy Howell, Maurice
Mccarthy and Charley Seaver among
the leaders. And in between you will
find Jack Westland, Roland Mckenzie
Johnny Lehman, Gene Homans-but
the list grows too quickly to allow fol
any complete roll call.
| 1t Is no part of certainty that any
of these mentioned will win. And more
than a few will even fail to qualify
among the 80 left for match play over
the Baltimore course in September. The
guillotine of medal play falls fast where
! 80 per cent must pass out under the
quick storm Of the last qualifying trials

yEW YORK, August 19.-In many

n YEW YORK, August 19-In many
nj ways the best National League
deal made this season was the
one that sent Danny Taylor to
the Brooklyn club because the Chicago
Cubs thought he had reached his limit
and was excess baggage.
1t was partly around this transfer
that the shindy began in Chicago which
resulted in the termination of Rogers
Hornsbys contract as manager Of the
Cubs.
Taylor now is a big factor in the
Dodgers rise as q threat to the Cubs
bid for the pennant. His batting and
fielding have strengthened the Brooklyn
outfield.
Brooklyn and Chicago both began the
season with outfields that were not too
hot. The Cubs knew they had a lame
duck, and candidly admitted it. Before
game had been played and while Tay-
lor was yet a member Of the Cubs,
Hornsby broadcast the fact that hard
hitting outfielder was needed to give
his team an edge in the race.
Unable to get one and unable TO
bring Vince Barton up to the standard
OF being a regular hitter, not finding
Taylor equal to the ideal he had in
mind, Hornsby used Moore, a promis-
ing ball player, but not up to the cali
ber that Hornsby sought.
Hornsby measured Taylor with a
minor league yardstick, and that was
where he unconsciously put his foot
into 1t. Taylor was with the Cubs in
SO games in 1881 and batted an even
300. That wasn't bad. but it was not
$3.50 or above, and that was what
Hornsby wanted. Had he reasoned a
little more sagaciously he would have
preceived that he wasn't going to get
that kind of man unless Chicago could
take Chick Hafey away from ST. Louis

thing, since he starred so amazingly
for the New York Giants at second
base. Perhaps the most unexpected
star in the history of the New York
club.
Those Of you who have been
watching the world series no doubt
remember that great play which
fixed Johnny's place among the
heroes Of the classic.
1t was in 1921, in the world series
between the Giants and the YAM

the New York lineup that season
as a stopgap. Frankie Frisch had
been shifted to third. Rawlings had
been acquired In deal.

He lashed q single to right. At least
