FIRE DOES DAMAGE AT THE
TONGUE RIVER DAM SITE

TONGUE River Oa1n-SlCe, OeC.a1 II
Machinery and tools, estimated
in value to run into the thousands,
belonging to Jerome G. Boesplng,
head contractor at the Tongue
river dam, were destroyed by fire
Thursday evening, Dec. 8, about
five-tlIirty. ~.
The fire occurred in the air
compressor room, and while the
origin Of the fire Is still unde-
termined, It. Is believed to have
been caused by leakage from one
of the gasoline tanks. There
were around 500 gallons of gaso-
line In the room at the time.
The fire started around five
thirty, during the changing OF
shifts and when discovered By the
night engineer, the gas had al
ready filled the compression room
and become tgnited from the stove
in the room The engineer was
able TO- get out without injury.
Work was temporarily halted In
the tunnel and shaft and the men
hurried out. The lighting system
for these places was also destroyed.
No one was injured and the work
is only temporarily halted. Al
though the flames flew hundreds
Of feet in the air, no other OF the
nearby buildings caught fire, as
no wind was blowing.
The carpenters also had their
tools in the compression room. The
head carpenters tools were valued
at $500, the others nearly as
much.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 17.-Sir Oswald
Mosley, leader of the British Legion of
Fascists, challenged the government
yesterday to arrest him for wearing
the outlawed black shirt as a political
emblem
II have worn this black shirt my
self for six weeks to enable this issue
to be decided, he said at meeting of

been done to me, and we are beginning
to assume that this black S.li I am

The Fascist black shirt, as we'll as

Mr.. Moos then ran of all his trumps.
On the last lead West was forced to
retain his ace Of diamonds and the
singleton jack Of hearts. Dummy,
which was down to the ace-l0 Of
hearts and the jack Of diamonds, now
discarded the latter card, which had
served its purpose.
East was then squeezed in turn.
Holding the king small Of hearts and
the singleton ace Of clubs, his cause
was hopeless. He elected to throw
the ace of clubs, whereupon Mr.. Moos
won the last two tricks with his re-
naming club, which was now good,
and the ace of hearts.

THE weekly duplicate at the Cav
endish Club has become the
most popular game in New
4 York City. The gam is played
on handicap basis, the idea being to
adjust each pairs handicap so accu-
rately that everybody has an equal
chance of winning. This makes for
such close competition that very often
only a few points will separate the
first three or four pairs. Jacques
Moos in the latest game made a neat
top score on one hand when the op-
ponents tried trigger double.

While West would never have
thought of doubling three spades in
rubber game, his reasoning as ap-
piled to duplicate was that although
he and his partner could not possibly
make four hearts, it seemed probable
that with his two defensive tricks plus
his partners opening bid, three spades
would be set one trick surely and pos
sibly two tricks, and therefore it be-
hooved him to double
West was right, except that a slight
slip enabled Mr.. Moos to make his
contract. After the king of diamonds
opening, West shifted to a low heart,
which was ducked in dummy and won
by East's queen. East then played
the king of clubs and, receiving the
deuce, followed with the queen and
another diamond, declarer trumping.

The make shift lineup of Ar

be juggled again tonight due to
the illness of Paul Harrison. Last

me OUT!
I want to answer that with the
flat assertion that, in my opinion,
Louis hasn't knocked out anybody
because it hasn't been necessary.
Most of his opponents were
knocked out by fear.
Furthermore, the first good
fighter he met simply reversed
that situation by landing the
first hard punch. Max Schmeling
was game, stood up and fought
and you know the result.
I am absolutely certain that I
will wipe away any remaining be-
lief tht Louis is a super-man. A
good stiff right hand to the chin
will do it.
Statements to the effect that
he had an off-night against
Schmeling, or was r-contleent,
or wasn't permitted to use enough
bandage on his hands, are empty
alibiS, and I expect to prove 1t.
However, I'm not giving or ask
ing any edge and for that reason
I am going to insist before the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion that rules covering the
amount of bandage and tape a
fighter may use be enforced
Louis, I understand, will ask that
the rules be waived. I ask that
they be enforced-no more and
no less.
want to mention this fact, too:
That I have begged for this fight
for months, because I am conf
