The RainierS came from behind
with thrrc-rlm blast in Che ninth

to 3. Three singles and 4 dab q
dumb playing accounted for the
runs. Dick Barrett gave tie Be-
yer Souly~four hits, and until the

The Cubs 5-4 victory ever the
Bees yesterday in the only Nationa.
league game enabled Gabby Hart
nettS club to move within half a
game of the Giants and within
a., games of the league-leading
Reds.
The Cubs potentially have a pow
erful ball club, which might go
places with somebody squirting
them on every day but they need
a driving leader, something Hart
nett hasn't yet proved himself to
be. The Dizzy Dean affair hasn't
helped the harmony ON the pitch
ing staff. Some Of the Cubs pitch
ers think Dean doesn't deserve any
more starts after his showing.
Big Blll ice. who got off to 4
slow start Yesterday pulled thru
to his thlrd victory against four
defeats lie held the Bees to nine
hits. GlcrSon'S triple and RusSell'S
homer featured the Cubs attack.

hOmcrS by Lou Flnncy and Jimmy
FoXX featured the Red SoX rs vic
tory over the Browns in the lone

licved Denny Galchouse. who had

in the last four frames. Galehouse

Red SoX pounded Vernon Kennedy
out of the box and scored five runs
in the third inning FoXX's homer

Week Of Fire
Protection

City lircmcn will, as usual, par
ticipatc in National Fire Prevention
Week the week of October 6-l2. but
they have not as yet made full pre-
parations. Fire Chief Cooper Ellis
said today.
The object Of the observance is t.
impress on citizens generally the I'M
pOrtancc Of precautions in prey chi
ing fires. Hitherto, representatives of
the fire department have visited the
schools to carry the gospel Of safety
from fires, and have inspected many
buildings and sought to enlist the
support of all hOuSchOldcrS in clean
ing their premises so as 10 be rid al
rubbish and garbage accommodations
that afford ideal conditions fOr the
start of fires. 1t is expected that the
fire departments observance will
this year be along that line.
The fire trucks are usually deco
rated with streamerS calling atten-
ton to the fact of National Fire
Prevention Week and appealing fol
cooperation of all citizens along tina
line.
Since the anniversary year ago
the city has acquired new fire en-
CINE. which is now in the service
making three in ALL and giving tho
city the best equipment in its history

bers of This board in Vance county
have n some instances said they did
not care whether the job paid any

Meanwhile there has seemed to
be an inclination in some quarters
10 name a board composed of men

lawyer. doctor and another citizen
might be named has given way now
to the thought that the two profess

either. as need was found, might be
employed for advice 10 the draft

1t is thought that formal request
