DOUGLAS
 NEWS
D.F.D. MEETING IS HELD LAST EVENING


 Suggestions and recommendations to Douglas Volunteer Fire Depart ment as contained in a two-page letter from Chief Mike Pusich opened the line of business tran sacted at the regular monthly meeting last night and were re- sponsible for most of the issues considered.
 The condition of one hydrant in vicinity of the Government School was reported out of order by the chief. Failure of the Maintenance Committee to do their work was mentioned; also that neither the firemen nor civilian defense work CTS have yet tried out the new trailer bumper. r.
 A protest of the department to the recent legislative ruling that requires volunteer firemen to pay school tax was asked by the chief. He further urged that the City of Douglas through it's elected mem berS on the Council fulfill the ob- ligation made in October, 1940, to deposit $l0 monthly toward the firemen's emergency fund. So far, he pointed out, only one such de- posit has been made. Pressure on the Council for further action in the matter of liability insurance for all members of the department was asked The customary transfer to Mob Hill of a 50-gallon chemi- cal unit from it's winter quarters was recommended.
 One of the baseball suits loaned to the Army boys last year, report ed missing at the last meeting, was since returned, Pusich reported, and to use his own words he rec commended that "the baseball para phernalia belonging to the de- partment be again loaned to the boys who are devoting their spare moments in an endeavor to enter tain residents of the channel with athletic activities
 Following reports of committees Balog stated that the hose adapter and Siamese coupling, both proper ly re-threaded, had been returfied. A complaint was registered against loaning of equipment.
 Secretary Langseth read the fin- ancial report of receipts and expen- ditures to date, which showed a favorable balance.
 The applications for membership 1 of Fl Post, new, and Grant Logan and Earl Miller for reinstatement, were read and favorably voted A new maintenance committee of the recent committeeman and new members was appointed as follows Manning, Andrews, Ray McCor- mick, T. Niemi, Matt Loughlin, Worobec, Balog, and Glen Rice; so- cial committee, L. Wagner, Woro- bee, Pusich.
 A request from Capt O'Connell for loan of baseball equipment was unanimously granted. Chairman of the annual dance committee, Lind strom reported all plans made for this years dance to be given to- morrow, Saturday, May Is.

However, two were reported to

New York. April l9.-Racing men
who remember Tod Sloan and
Ballyhoo Bey can't recall when the
two foremost jockeys In the BUSH
ness were barred at the same-time
rs Is now the case with Don Meade
and Eddie Arcaro.
The lowdown Is that Meade prob
ably will never be permitted to ride
again. He was set down last fall for
collision" but that Is not the rea-
son h Is not restored TO good stand
ing. You hear that 1t is gambling
trouble again.
Arearo has never been charged
with dishonesty. Hot-headedness Is
the sharply-featured Italians only
riding fault. He is on the sidelines
for repeated rodeo performances.
Many competent horsemen con-
slider Meade at least five pounds
better than the great majority OF
his rivals.
He Is q remarkable rider on a
front runner. He knows how to hold
front runners together, nurse them
along. II a Splinter was COED for
six furlongs. he managed to get
seven out OF the horse.
No Jockey ever had better judg-
ment Of pace than Arcaro, who with
the aid OF the one-eyed blinker, was
first TO keep Whir1away on the
straight and narrow. II Is doubtful
that any rider ever won more i'm
p0rtant races than Arcaro over a
corresponding period.
Meade was banned in Florida in
1898 for bettin gon horses other
than his own In races In which he
rode.

horses between their two and three
year.old seasons.

rocketed to four straight victories
this spring and has yet TO be de.
feated as a three-year old.

Last year, as q Juvenile, Amber
Light showed little to warrant any
hope for future greatness. He
raced nine times and won but twice.
On several occasions he quit badly
under pressure and even his stable
must have considered him a sprin-

quarters late in october.
But 1t was q brand new-and
vastly improved-Amber Light hat

When the field paraded for the

impressive victories, was not too
highly regarded. The form play.

battled to head victory.
Courageous
The Dixlana stable knew IL had
a good colt then. His time of
1852 3-5 over q slow track and his
courage when challenger proved
that.
Amber Light was shipped to Ken
lucky to undergo his Derby prep
at Churchill Downs. In his first
start over the Downs oval he gai.
loped to an easy victory, defeating
the good Splinter No wrinkles. He
will NIKE his next start In either
the Blue Grass stakes or the Derby
