PAPS 60 GAME
 AHEAD IN RAGE
 FOR BALL FLAG

With a Senators do-re-me on the line behind them the Moose had to come through-and they did, not only saving National Moose Com mander Robert R. Reynolds bet, but driving one game up in the Gas tineau Channel Little World Series" through to win over the Doug las Islanders last evening.
 While pitcher Johnny Smith kept six Douglas hits well scattered Haglund, Snow and Orme turned on the power to keep in front of the Islanders through eight innings of contest billed for nine frames. Delayed fifteen minutes to wait for the Islanders to fill out their ranks, the game was cut short because of darkness at the end of the eighth.
 A poor move CT the part of Douglas receiver Bob Boyd sets the PapS off with two-run margin in the first inning, but it lasted only till the last half of the same ses- sion, when Erskine followed up Rodgers single with a homer 60 even the count. It was the fourth fence drive for the Douglas ace in as many games.
 Haglund paved the way to the opening Moose run by drawing a walk off Dave Turner, starting chucker for the Islanders. Haglund moved around to third, on a sacri- flee by Fritz Schmitz and a pass ed ball. From third he counted on McNamee's infield drive, while Me- Nance was safe on the play to the plate. Snow then whiffed, but Boyd, dropped the third strike and for getting the automatic out, with a man already on first, threw the pellet through Andrews into right field, McNamee going the rest of the way around before the ball was retrieved.
 Orme's lead off double. which took freak bounce over the left field fence hitting pile of lum- Der, was followed by Haglund s single to put the Paps a run in front again in the second. They then clamped down on the Island CTS threat in the last of the frame, with double killing.
 After turning the Moose back in order in the third, the Islanders again evened things up in their half. Grant opened with a walk which was followed by Andrews single. McNamee threw to second to cut off Andrews trip for a steal, but Fritz Schmitz failed to cover and Grant romped across.
 Smith poked home the run that won his own game, when, after Grummett had doubled and Orme singled in the first of the fourth he connected for scratch single to Andrews that counted Grummett Though Smith called upon all the fielding support he could muster to crawl out of a hole he had been placed in, in the last of the sixth, he managed to keep the Islanders throttled the rest of the route. The Moose, meanwhile, after being stop ped short in the fifth and sixth, added another run to their total in the seventh on successive doubles

Meanwhile, Chairman Walsh of the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee said
he believed Congress should have a
complete picture of joint Army and
Navy air defense needs before it acts
on the separate War and Navy budgets.
He suggested the two services join In
report to Congress.
1T is quite apparent from what is
happening in the world today" Sen
ator Walsh said on his return from
the West Coast, that more and more
attention is going to have to be given
to airplanes. am convinced that
we must build up that feature OF our

The Massachusetts, Senator recon-
mended that Army shore defenses,
including planes and anti-aircratt
equipment be expanded, along with the
Nays air force. He said he also be-
lieved Congress should increase the
size Of both the Naval and Army Re-
serve Corps.
At the same time, he emphasized
his belief that the American people
are unalterably opposed to anything
that would involve this Nation IN
war for any purpose other than de-
tense against invasion.
Senator Walsh explained that
he believes it Is more practical to
keep the Army and Navy air forces
separate because planes are an integral
part of the naval craft program.
The program authorized by the last
Congress for new naval vessels
furnishes enough authorization. the
Senator said, adding that the task

the royal pair. IZaak clearly had the
idea that If there was any hard,
manual labor to be done, was the
one to do it.
But my heron soon developed
more lively technique He liked creeks
through which he could wade up to
his knees, and this meant fairly good
sized stream. He knew perfectly the
type of water fish like best and when
ever he came to a likely pool he would
halt and gaze into it for several MIN
utes. Frogs were as welcome as fish.
Whenever one dived in Izaak would
stop and watch it carefully. The frog
nearly always ducked into the mud or
under some dead leaves on the bottom.
As soon as Izaak had him spotted. he
would mince up, lifting his long legs up
neatly so as not to make a splash. Then
the long bill would strike down
through the water like flashing
harpoon.
With fish. the movements of lzaaks
head and neck were almost too quick
to follow. Often he would stand in the
rapids below a little pool while | tried
to drive the fish towards him, In spite
of my efforts, they usually doubled
back. When the current carried them
into shallow water. Izaak would grab
them so rapidly that unless | hap
pened to be looking he would get
full crop before knew he had caught
any. Then, although he would con-
tinue to take a polite interest in my
actions, all the fish in the world could
shoot past and Izaak would let them
90. Often I would think he had sud
denly gone on a hunger strike until
noticed his swollen crop, loaded to the
gunnels with "shinerS."
Lest jealous fishermen begrudge
Izaak and his race their lives, | hastily
add that in a wild state heron eat

four-lctter word, suddenly cried out.
Firemen fear panic more than any
thing because 1t is so easy to start
one - and so utterly impossible to
stop it once it breaks loose. AS a pos
sble victim it surely behooves you to
size up a building as you enter so as to
fix in your mind another way out
Then, if anything happens, you
instinctively avoid the main push.

To be sure, lots of crowds have

may prove the static charge that con-
verts a minor emergency into
catastrophe.
What can the average person do
about it?
Well. above all, keep your mouth
shut when trouble starts in crowd -
any kind of trouble. In the Calumet
case a woman tainted and friend
called for water in an excited voice.
Some other woman. unable to see what
had happened, caught only the note
of excitement and deduced that If
they we're calling for water. there must
be fire. So she screamed the fatal
word - and hell broke loose!
Even more vital than self-discipline
in an emergency is preparedness. Most
panics start among people in strange
surroundings. Unfamiliar with the
buildings layout, they are at dis
advantage in crisis and, in 99 cases
out of 100, they all try to get out the
way they came in.
Have you ever looked for the near
est exit" in theater or in hotel!
Few do. Hence they know only one
way out - the same way everybody
else knows - the same way ~ per
