Main Building Burns
Damage in Philadelphia
Fire Put at 500, 900

PHILADELPHIA. April 6.-The
main building of the fashionable
Philadelphia Cricket Club, scene of
many international tennis, golf and
cricket matches, was destroyed by
fire last night with a loss estimated
by firemen at 100000. The cause
was not determined.
Famed by wind, the blaze burned
out the entire second and third
floors of the structure, which was
modelled after Independence Hall,
but club spokesman said records
and trophies on the ground floor
were not damaged.
Firemen said the club, situated at
Grove avenue and st. Martins lane,
is at one of the highest points in
the city and that only one of three
lines of hose laid produced water.
The tower had collapsed before the
first hose was laid from a hydrant
one-fourth mile away.

WILMINGTON. Del, April ct
Is Roberto Estalella's loudest moan
that in eight years in baseball he
always has been with clubs deep in
the second division. And Connie
Mack has promised him that this
record will be maintained. now that
he has moved in with the Phila-
delphia Athletics.
The venerable Mr.. McGillicuddy
pointed this out to round Roberto
day or so ago when he accidentally
heard Estalella give voice to his
beef. Don't worry, sonny" said
Mr.. Mack, well probably make you
feel right at home"
In addition to introducing Ro-
berto, one of the Cubans who man
aged to escape from the Washington
Senators and now is the AS regular
left fielder, it also serves to indicate
just where the Athletics fit into
the American League landscape
It's as safe as money in the bank to
bet that Mr.. McGillicuddy's athletes
will get just about as far as usual

ball on Sunday afternoons, and
run his ranch and farm by remote
control? Or will it be possible for
Sam to play football on Sundays,
hop a plane for Sweetwater, be a
farmer for five days and football
player for one?
If that happens, what happens to
his football ability and the intricate
and quick-breaking plays that are
built around Sammy and his un-
erring arm without the constant
practice that produces the wen-knit,
hard-hitting football club that was
the Redskins of 1912 with Baugh in
there? Or could Sammy Baugh,
the farmer-rancher, get defense
job in the Washington area. practice
with the club late in the afternoons
or at night, and play football during
the season, returning to become a
defense worker or farmer again
after the pigskin season?
It's no wonder the Redskin bosses
have their fingers crossed. not know
ing whether their chief turnstile
CAAChlIls oval WILL NC dUlc W play
football this year.
Sure Of q First Team
Whatever happens, however, the
Skins, military draft or not, will have
one complete starting team and
some capable requirements for most
positions. They won't be the three
deep outfit of last year. Neither will
the other clubs. That's a foregone
conclusion. But they will have some
good football players, who may. by
force of circumstances, be forced to
relinquish many of the intricate
plays of previous seasons. simply
because the trained requirements of
other years, operating as units, won t
be available.
In Navy uniform in Washington
is fellow named Dick Plasman,
who turned in a creditable job at end
for the Chicago Bears a couple of
seasons ago. Why wouldn't it be
possible, if the Navy and Plasman
have no objection, to use this proven
star on the Skin team, other ma
tional league clubs to have the same
privilege of using men in uniform
or in defense work in their areas If
available?

a pro football league which may or
may not produce as good brand
of football as it has had on eXhibi-
ton now for some years.
Mr. Baugh draws down what
for doing his football tossing magic.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been
able to buy himself a hunk of
Texas land esconce thereon several
hundred COW critters, plow several
score acres to farm crops and do
all that in the short space of about
six years. The ordinary lad just
out of college doesn't get going in a
financial way that quickly unless he
has the equivalent of the athletic
ability of Sammy Baugh and can
prove himself worth while to his
employer
Within Draft Age, But
Sammy is within the military draft
age. and the men who run the mill
tary show in Washington have
come out with dire warnings that
fathers are going to be drafted
within few months, even though
their lares and penates may be
blessed with child, as is the Baugh
household. Eighty-odd per cent of
the fathers of military age will be
drafted for military service this
year, scream the headlines. unless
they have some other reason for
military deferment
The gate producer, the man who
packs EN- in at Griffith Stadium
every Sunday from September to
early December, could become a
gun toter, another dogface in olive
drab. another number in a military
camp But Sammy probably won't.
He is a farmer. He is a rancher,
raising cattle which are pretty es-
sentiai nowadays, or have you tried
to get steak lately?
But how will Uncle Sam feel If
Sammy, the farmer, leaves his broad
acres to play four or five months of
football, through the training period
and through the season?
If Sammy claims military exemp-
ton because he is a farmer and
rancher (and if he has done so the
Redskin Office isn't talking about it,
will the military authorities take it
In stride and watch him play foot
