SMOKE a pipe, cigars, cigarettes -
everything but opium. l like to
smoke as we'll as the next man.
But I should also like to stay on
this mortal sphere until the last min
ute, hence never smoke in bed or
when I'm drowsy. no matter where l
may be. Here are few of the reasons:
CLiStos, Mess: A prominent busi-
nessman was found dead from suf-
location in flaming bed when some
children saw smoke pouring from his
window and turned in an alarm. The
victims pipe had ignited the bed
clothes.
Bristol, Coxss.: The charred body of
a young woman was found in the bed
room of her apartment. The girl fell
asleep while smoking cigarette and
was smothered without awakening.
Amsterdam, N. r.: A man was
fatally burned after smoking in bed.
A neiRhbor was treated for serious
burns received while trying to beat out
the fire in the victims clothing.
Tyler, Tex.: A state official fell to
his death from his room on the
seventh floor of a hotel. Investigation
disclosed that he had fallen asleep
with a cigarette in his hand. Startled
Evening star., 1938-03-06

The blaze originated when a roomer
fell asleep while smoking in bed.
Aroused by the heat, he dashed into
the hall and left his door open, giving
the flames air and full possession of the
building.
Chicago: An elderly man was suf-
located by smoke when hot embers
from his pipe spilled as he dozed.
causing the upholstery of his chair to
smolder.
This list could 60 on indefinitely.
Without prolonsing it needlessly. let
me point out one thing:
Most people labor under the delu-
sion that if they do fall asleep while
smoking. they'll be aroused by the
heat before it is too late. To be sure,
this happens sometimes. But usually
the smoke gets them first. This is
easy, because carbon -monoxide gas is
a product of incomplete combustion
- and a smoldering fire is incomplete
combustion.
The upshot is that most bed. chair
and divan smokers are unconscious or
dead before the fire really gets under
way. because they inhale the fumes.
A laboratory analysis of the prod
ucts of incomplete combustion would
make any sane man wary of when
and how he smokes. And if that isn't
enough, the sights the firemen see day
after day would convince anybody that
of all the nitwits on earth and under
the earth - the ones who really take
first prize are those who smoke in bed!

Lewis and Travis, not even the two
Ferrels or Johnny Stone and Buddy
Myer. No other two players accom-
plish the feats of these kids.
Both have plenty Of what the boys
call "moxie." In his first year as 9
regular, 1894, Travis was struck in
the head by q ball pitched by the In
dians' Thornton Lee, q wicked south
paw for left-handed hitters to bat
against. He was carried, unconscious,
to a hospital. Ten days later he came
out, pulled ON his uniform and jumped
back into the lineup. Again WASH
ington was playing Cleveland. The
pitcher was Thornton Lee.
Travis made three hits In four trips
to the plate and drove Lee out Of the
box!
Lewis, in his first Washington train
ing camp, had colorful Bobby Esta-
leila to beat out for the third-base
Job. They were both standing on
the bag In infield practice one day
when one Of the fungo hitters on the
sidelines failed to get his bali up
In the air. It whizzed on q line to-
ward Estalellas head.
Bobby didn't see it. The ball might
have killed him. But Lewis leaped
forward and knocked the ball down
with his bare hand.
Estalella had third base to himself
the next day . . but only because
Lewis hand was SO badly hurt he
couldn't play. Once it healed the Mats
shipped Estalells to Chattanooga. They
didn't have to worry about anybody
else playing third base.

PARKS STILL TOPS
IN DUB PIN EVENT
Boosts Bill Wood Tourney
Total to 1853 for His
10 Strings.

Shooting 638 for his second-b block
score. Russell (Skeets) Parks MAIN
tanned his lead in the Bill Wood Dub
Sweepstakes last night at the Lucky
Strike with 10-game score Of 1858.
The Red Food Shop team bowler OF
the National Capital League was even
more brilliant than in the opening
block last week when he gained the
top position with a 625 count.
Parks looked more the part of an
expert than the 106-average pin
spiller which he ordinarily is as he
staggered the naples for games Of
119, 1853, lit, 128 and Ill. Parks for
his ten strings has averaged over 1926.

Lewis-Travis
CONTINUED From Page B-8.)

cided I'd spend the rest Of my life
in the minors, waiting for Travis to
wear out"
But shrewder heads were going to
allow no such talent to be wasted.
Griffith made shortstop out OF Travis
in 1886 and put Lewis on third. At
first Cecil was awkward and Lewis
threw poorly at times. But In 1887
they showed definite improvement,
Buddy batting .314 and Cecil tossing
up that fat .344. And defensively
they will do, with something to spare.
Buddy, Cecil Great Pals.
Lewis, boylike, first came to WASH
ington determined to hate Travis
because all I could see was Cecil
standing in my way" His determina-
ton, such as it was, failed him. He
never managed to hate Travis. They
probably are the two best buddies
in the majors and the most famous
rooming team in baseball, next to
Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey.
From the outset Travis and Lewis
were drawn to each other. Both came
from the South. Both bat left
handed. Both are infielders. Each
stands 6 feet inch and they weigh
alike to the ounce, 180. Facially
there Is more than a slight resem-
blance. They even were born in the
same month, August, and within two
days Of the other.
They asked to be allowed to room
together and they are inseparable.
They eat together, take in the movies
together and fiercely pull for each
other at the bat. Lewis batted No. 2
in the order last year and Travis
was No. 8. Washington's most con-
sistent offensive play was for Lewis
to get on base and skim to third base
on q hit-and-run play as Travis sim
gled to right field.
Lewis takes . fuller cut at the ball
than Travis and drives for distance.
Last year Buddy, in batting .314, was
the only Gri1man to make more than
200 hits. He made 210, which Is .
great feat for sophomore. Lewis also
topped the club in runs scored, with
lot, and in extra-base clouting. This
year Buddy easily should be the Mats
standout home-run threat. In Z park
like Yankee Stadium or League Park
In Cleveland the kid might have been
one Of the most consistent home-run
hitters in the American League.
No other pair OF players on the
WaShington club = - valuable -
