BALBOA, c. T., September 15.-
Fire and smoke bursting forth as the

Bradburn was removed late yesterday
led port authorities to take hurried
precautions to protect other shipping
in the harbor
A Canal Zone tug tied up to the
ship. and beached her on the mud
flats off the anchorage, while docks
in the vicinity were closed to traffic.
Dense clouds of smoke poured from
the Bradburn's hatch, three ventila-
tors, the crews quarters and the quar-
terdeck.
Cotton Smoking.
Firemen, after abandoning earlier
efforts to quench the flames with
steam under pressure, decided to use
water. despite the danger of running
the cargo of cotton aboard.
A few bales of cotton we're removed
from the upper No. 2 hold and smoke
Immediately belched forth.
Three lines of water were turned on
the vessel, the water sizzling as it
hit the decks. Firemen had to stand
on planks, so hot was the footing.
Passengers See Fight.
Meanwhile, passengers aboard the
Panama Pacific liner Pennsylvania,
which tied up shortly before, lined the
decks watching the conf1agration.
Neither the ships master nor her
agents would express any opinion as
to the cause of the fire. Nor could
they tell whether the vessel could be
saved.

OTHER CITIES
ARE STRONG
FOR IDEA
BY DANNY GILL

Duckpins served in big-league
style, with its travelling circuit,
seems a certainly for New Eng
land, which is formulating plans
for a Tri-State Duckpin Bowling
League.
II they can do it up North,
there's no reason why Washington
and its Southern neighbors can't
do likewise.
In the land of the TronSky,
White and Bogino, a 10-team loop
will soon start functioning. Fran
chises will go to Boston, Lawrence,
Providence, New London, Will
lamantic, Hartford, New Haven,
Waterbury, Bridgeport and SIAM
ford. All of these cities have
their share of good material and
the travelling expenses will be rea-
sonable.
Play Twin Bills"
Teams in the vicinity of New
Haven would make Saturday
and Sunday trip and play Boston
and Lawrence on one trip and
Providence and New London on
another. Similarly those a bit
distant, would visit Stamford and
Bridgeport one weekend, and New
Haven and Waterbury the next.
The rest of the schedule would
be within easy driving distance.
Applying the same idea to the
South, teams from Baltimore,
Washington, Richmond, Nor
folk, Roanoke and Greensboro
could compete. Uncle George L.
Isemann, secretary of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress,
who, more than any other one
man has made duckpins the
popular game it is today, sug-
gests the possibility of Anna
polls and Frederick joining with
Washington and Baltimore in
event the six.team league isn't
feasible.
Frederick Latest
Frederick is the latest town
to fall under the spell of the
Isemann personality, and is go
ing in for the little pins in a
big way. BY limiting the league
to these four teams, expenses
could be minimized and the
little town which Barbara Fritc
chic made famous would be al
lowed to draw on washington
for some of it's talent, just as
the Blue Ridge Baseball League.
Uncle George says most OF
the cities he has contacted are
not only enthusiastic about the
plan, but are even willing to
join the proposed United States
League.
Remembering the failure of
the National League, George l..
wants to lay the groundwork
for the United States League
in a secure manner, and doesn't
think the time is quite ripe for
it. He believes there must be
better accommodate IS for spec
tators. Again using baseball as
his model, he says gate receipts
are a necessary evil for "big'
time" league bowling.

Pop ZAHN, 50,
STILL GOING
STRONG
BY SID KATZNELL

Ask anyone over northeast way
who is the most informed sports
authority and he would answer
without hesitation Van A. zahn.'
Athletic clubs from all over the
city come to his home. 1921 c
Street Northeast, for advice. He
knows baseball, football, soccer,
tennis, golf, bowling and basket
ball from end to end.
Van has managed several sue
cessful independent b a e b a !
teams. He handled the famed Tate
midgets back in 1925 and 1925,
when that team was one of the
best mines in it's class, winning 26
games and dropping but four.
Taught Frank Carter
He taught Frank Carter, one Of
the city's best southpaw pitchers,
the finer points of the game when
Carter used to heave 'em plate
ward for the Tates. Zahn also
aided his two athletically inclined
sons, Del and Arthur, in their rise
to stardom.
Del starred with Tech High a
few years back, captaining the
basketball team, playing on the
eleven and nine. He also played
on Maryland University'S five and
nine four years ago.
Arthur COtts'D the baby Of the
Zahn family, certainly wrote his
name on the local sports globe.
He shone on Eastern High bas-
ketball and baseball teams six
years ago, being picked on the
mythical all-high nine as short
stop.
Led COlOnialS
He captained George Washing
ton University's crack quint in
1888 and 1882. Last year he was
leading hitter on the G. w. base
ball team. OTIS held down the
initial sack.
Van A. Zahn or Pop" as he is
known to his host of friends, is
still quite a bowler, despite the
fact he has passed the SIS mark.
He carries a 103-average in the
Temple Minor League.
Pop" is the peer of Northeast
Washington checker players.
There are none in that section
who can hold their own against
him.
