TO RETURN TO COAST

The First and Second battalions
of the Sixth army engineers from
Fort Lawton and Fort Lewis, who
arrived here Sunday with the in
tention of remaining until Wednes-
day, were Tained out and broke
camp Tuesday afternoon.
The soldiers, some 400 strong,
had as sleeping quarters pup tents
and the continuous heavy fall of
moisture did everything but wash
them away. They were on TIE regu-
lar annual trek that ie required by
army rules and were supposed TO
hike the rest of the way home from
Issaquah as part Of the m~aneuvers.
The army band was to present 2
concert downtown Tuesday even
ming, but the rain failed to let Up,
much to the DISAPPOINTMENT. OF %
cal people.
One of the soldier dolefully re
marked that wherever the Sixth
engineers corps went the rain was
sure to follow. A large number Cd
the boys slept in halls. garages,
etc, Tuesday night to escape the
precipitation.

Explains Fire
Insurance Rating

K. W. Hummer, special agent for
he Fireman's Fund Insurance
company, who was here a couple OF
weeks ago, prepared the following
article especially for publication in
the Dispatch:
"Coulee City, during the past
fitteen years, has had more than
its share of fires. In many cases
some insurance vas carried, par
TALLY covering the loss, but In ev-
cry case a considerable loss over
the insurance. recovery was sus-
tanned.
Every town or city in the state
is graded by the Washington Sur
veying and Rating bureau under
the rules prescribed by the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters.
These rules include measuring the
water supply and distribution sys-
tenn and it's ability to furnish ade-
quate water I'M case of a conflagra-
ton In the business nection of a
town.
The Fire Department - Its
equipment, organization, housing
and management is also graded.
The Fire Alarm-Graded as to it's
ability to arouse the citizens in
case of a fire, and how alarms are
turned in and by whom given.
Building Laws
Building Laws - Regulating
construction of buildings and their
maintenance, proper electric wir-
ing, construction and materials of
flues, foundations, roofs, removal
of fire hazards such as ashes, oily
rags and accumulation of waste.
"Hazards-4Such as dry grass on
wacant lots and about buildings,
streets and alleys, or Instructions
therein that would prevent free &C
cess in ease of fire: improper ell
ectric wiring of the electric dis
tribution system; lack Of the city
council and its appointed officers
in enforcing the city laws govern
ing such matters.
structural Conditions - r h i 8
pertains to the fire-resisting quail
ity Of buildings within the bust
ness district of the city, their use
and maintenance.
Each one of these classified
lions is graded from ONE to. ten.
Coulee City was last graded March
%, 1894, and since that time
improvements were made. Accord
ing to this last report the town
was graded as follows:
Water supply
water supply, Sth class: fire
department, 10th class; fire alarm
system. 10th class: building laws,
9th: hazards, 10th class; structur-
al conditions, 5th class. The aver
age rating for this town Is 9th
class.
considering that 10Th class is
the average for towns that have a
very Inadequate water system or
nome at all, it is plain to see that
we should all interest ourselves in
an effort to improve this situation
when studying the above class
ifications, it will be noted that the
water system is graded 8th class
and the structural condition 5th.
These two are the most important
and would be the most costly to
improve. The other four ratings
are largely a matter of regulation
and law enforcement that each citi-
zen can help maintain, and il all
would take interest in this import
ant matter IL would be a simple
procedure to better these classifi-
cations and obtain sufficient cred
it's to gain a lower city sta nding of
8th grade with a corresponding re-
duction of fire rates for every
property holder here"

PonnpoononSpot
At ArIinQton

CHICAGO, July 24.-Eight Of
our very best second-rate thor
oughbreds are about to go for an
outing late today in the Arlington
classic, three-year-old stake race
which this time would seem to
have been especially designed to
prove whether Pompoon, the arch
tragedian of the turf, belongs
among the aristocracy or between
the shafts. It'll practically be the
shafts if Pompoon can't win this
one and there even might be some
talk of effecting the best possible
trade-in with the glue people.
Otherwise, everything in con-
nection with the event is perfect.
1t will be at the championship or
Derby distance of mile and a
quarter. It probably will have a
championships crowd of $4,000 at
the Arlington Park course. 1t will
have a championship purse OF
$35, 400, if the eight overnight en-
tries are there when the flag falls.
Moreover, Pompoon ought to
get a championship ride from
Wayne Wright, winner of the 1885
classic with the immemorial

Hornsby Settles
For $4,000

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July PA
peaceful settlement Of Roger
Hornsby's claim against the St.
Louis Browns was announced to-
day, with the Rajah pocketing
an estimated $4,000.
The reported $4,000 settlement
was reached last night after an
all-day conference in the offices
of Hornsby's attorney, Jacob M.
Lashly.
During the conference, Horns
by. fired as team manager of the
Browns this week, materially COM
promised his original demand for
full payment of his $4,000 to
$40, 0,O00-a-year contract for the
balance of 1887 and 1888.
He said he settled for a sum
substantially equal to my con-
tract salary for the balance of
1887" Judge George C. Foster,
treasurer of the Browns, merely
described it as a sum "satisfac-
tory to both parties"
Treasurer Foster last night
threw little additional light on
the subject in a formal state
ment. He said Hornsby had
worked in close harmony" with
executives, but there had been
disagreement las to certain
fundamental principles"

Hunt and Allison
Clash for Bowl

BROOKLINE, Mass, July "a.
Wilmer Allison, Austin, Texas,
has a chance to retire the
Longwod Tennis Bowl for the
first time in 16 years.
This Afternoon, Allison stands
on the threshold of accomplish
ing what he has been nine years
trying to do, when he meets Gil
bert Hunt, Washington. D. c.. in
the finals of the Forty-fifth An
nual Longwood Bowl tournament.
The Texan Is no longer at his
peak. He would be no match for
today'S headliners in tennis such
as Don Bulge, frankie Parker,
or even Bitsy Grant. But those
stars were over in England striv-
ing to bring the Davis Cup title
back to the United States.
Allison already has two legs
on the bowl and those legs he
won in hard-earned victories, in
1928 and 1884. Today he needs
only the ability to stoop over and
pick up the final leg, if he can
keep his balance against Hunt.

Beaten,
Bulge Wins

Continued from Page II
to be put to rout by even such a
phenomenal novice as Hare proved
to be and when needed he rose to
the occasion with cannonball
drives of his own that gradually
wore down the Briton.
Time and again games went to
deuce. Repeatedly, one player
would seem to have a game well
in hand at love-forty only to have
the other storm through from be-
hind to win.
Thus it went for 26 games, and
as the lead swung back and forth
the crowd went into a frenzy as
they cheered lTIare'S gallant stand.
But it could not go on forever and
Bulge whip jed through the twen-
ty-seventh game behind his own
brilliant service and then after
trailing at love-forty came on to
win the final game, after it went
to deuce no less than five times.
First Set Too Much
Hare's game was truly phenome-
nal. At times he would pull off
the most brilliant shots and then
mix them up with the most awk-
ward blunderS. His first service
shot was invariably bliStering JOY
to everybody but Bulge, who some
times had trouble laying a racquet
on the ball.
But Bulge, who plays with his
head as we'll as his feet and hands,
finally discovered how to beat him.
Bulge went into the air with lobS
over Hare's head, and sometimes
when Hare played deep, the canny
American caught him flat-footed
with beautiful drop-Shots.
Hare seemed burned out after
that first terrific set, and the
American raced through the next
two without much trouble.
Parker Easy Victim
Austin, on the other hand, had
surprisingly little trouble with
Parker. The little Britisher
pounded away at Parker's notori-
ously weak forehand with good
results.
He outspeeded, outthought and
outplayed Parker at all stages and
only in the final set was the
American able to step up his game
enough to make it a battle.
Parker's best shot was a soft
drop that occasionally caught
Austin out of position, but for the
most part the British veteran had
too much on the ball for his youth
full and inexperienced Davis Cup
opponent.

blame nor censure can attach to
him.
Gained Impetus
The professional game gained
terrific impetus when raven-haired
Fred Perry joined with Ellsworth
Vines last year and played to rec.
ord attendances in many cities.
Perry made the public statement,
that if he had to do it all over
again, he would take the same
step, but he would have taken
1t sooner.
Perry, with his background Of
British amateurism, became q tre-
mendouS attraction. He had court
personality, game that was sound
in all departments, and a flair for
showmanship.
Bulge possesses all the qualifi.
cations of Perry. He is tall, as most
good lawn tennis players are; he
has a powerful game and o full
complement of strokes. Without
those he could not have achieved
the heights he won overseas.
Fundamentally Sound
Not only has Bulge a game that
is fundamentally sound, but he has
a competitive spirit second to
none. Without that inspired flame
in his heart, Bulge would not
have reached the courts today. He
could have accepted impending
defeat at the hands Of Won
Cramm, and the world would have
forgotten swiftly.
But Bulge did not accept de-
feat at the hands of this Teuton
master, who has won as many, If
not more, Davis Cup matches than
any other player in the realm. In
the face of the impossible, Bulge
hitched up his trousers, gripped
his racquet bit tighter and pro-
ceeded to hit the shots heard
round the world as he swept the
mighty Won Cramm off his feet.
The glory that was Maurice
Red" McLaughlin'S has become
the glory of Bulge. The fame Of
Tilden, Vines and the rest is his.
If some very practical soul adds
that you can't eat glory, and pres
tige will not buy the winter over.
coat, the writer will break no
lances with him.
Recall Mclaughlin
He has the game to carry on.
There was that day in 1914 when
Maurice Mclaughlin blasted the
British challengers for the Davis
Cup loose from their racquetS at
the courts of the West Side Lawn
Tennis Club near Van Cortlandt
Park in New York. On that day
Mclaughlin showed a cannonbau
service that mace spectators gasp.
It was a terrific blast, and some
have said that it was all the Red
Comet" had. Maybe so; it was
enough. It won.
Tilden, master of court tech
nique, is leader of the professional
movement. He is gaining follow'
erS.
And why not? Golf, the great
est game of them all, is at once
the most honest. There you have
open tournaments, with profeS-
sional competing against amateurs.
When Bob Jones was at his best
the professionals moan. But now,
the pros have the fairways to
themselves.
The Greenbriar tournament in
October will be interesting. There
are many who wonder if Bulge
the man of the day will face the
slashing drives and cunning place
ments of Fred Perry, once the
king of the amateur realm.
