Air Raid Fires

An error in filling acquisitions

fire protection system, il was
revealed today.
The error was revealed during a
visit here by Ellsworth j. Reilly
of Chicago, regional custodian of
OCD equipment, who accused city
officials OF laXity and failure TO
put new OCD equipment into
disable condition.
The requiSition error, according
TO Frank NJ. McLaur.'. director of
civilian defense for Detroit, re-
suited in shipment of auxiliary
water pumps adaptable TO 1912
trucks but which could not be
used on Detroit's 1871 type trucks
for which they were meant.
CALLED INADEQUATE
AS a result, Reilly declared, De-

He added that the equipment. a
large amount of which has been
arriving in the city since last
December, would be hopelessly

Only two or three of the trucks
have been assembled.
McLaury who disclosed the
bumpers received are for use on
DPW trucks and not for fire
trucks, said that use Of the
pumps on the trucks would event
ually result in complete breakdown
Of the equipment because Of the
extra strain.
SHORTAGE OF SPACE

Dana, Hawaiian right-handed
pitcher, had been notified by Com
missioner K. M. Lands of a reversal
of decision granting him free
agency from Milwaukee. He is slated
to return to Milwaukee Sunday.
Meantime. however, the Tigers
were seeking a pitcher acceptable to
Milwaukee to make a deal that
might permit Dana to stay with
Detroit.
Dana, 33, was signed June % by
the Tigers after Minor League
President William Bramham hai

Picked Up II Games

I'll never forget some years ago
when Doc Prothro was managing
Memphis and I was handling Bir-
mingham. We we're in third place
IA games back of Memphis on
August T. On August % We still
were in third place, with New Or
leans in second, but during that
time we had whitfield II games off
that Memphis lead.
1--WE had beaten Memphis two
straight to pull within three games
of them and in one of those games
Harry Kelley, who was pitching for
Memphis, made one bad pitch to
one of our fellows and lost the
game. Prothro and the whole Mem
phis team was jittery and the up
shot Of it was that Doc said he
never would pitch Kelley against
us again.
That was all right with us be-
cause Kelley simply had murdered
us that season. All he had to do
was toss his glove out on the mound,
1t seemed, and we were beaten. We
were pretty happy about things
when Doc announced his pitchers
for the double header next day.
Both of them were fellows we knew
We could whip.
IF we took the double header
that day we would have made up
13 games in two weeks. 1t would
be nice to say we did that and
went on to win the pennant but
we didn't. Memphis players pleaded
with Prothro to let Kelley pitch
against us and Prothro weakened.
He weakened SO much, in fact,
that Kelley pitched both games of
that double-header and beat us,
2-1 and 10. That's incidental,
though. The point is that we made

Bill Hulse, New York chemist, in a
mile race at Randalls Island.
Record Quarter Is Slow.
The stage was all set for what
Amateur Athletic Union officials
hoped would be Haeggs greatest
performance, but the time of 4:06.9
was somewhat of disappointment
to the estimated crowd of 5000.
Last nights gate was expected to
bring the receipts of Haegg's tour to
0,0O0-all of which goes to the
Army Air Forces Fund. Although
the time was 1.6 seconds off the
American record Haegg hung up in
beating the same pair in Boston. the
race was one of the most thrilling as
the flying Swede registered by 2
yards over Dodds, with Hulse an
other 3 yards back. Dodds was
clocked in 4:072 and Hulse in 4:08.2.
Hulse carried the trio through the
first quarter in 59.8 seconds, but the
tempo dropped in the second quar-
ter and Hulse was clocked in 2:03.5.
Haegg quickly took over the lead,
but the slow second quarter made
record almost an impossibility.
Dodds challenged the Swedish
fireman on the final turn. In doing
so he cut in so sharp that he showed
Haegg off the track for a few steps.

Dodds was unable to match.
