FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS DINNER AND
 DIAMOND CLASSIC

Company No. 1, of the Juneau Fire Department, was host last night to Company No. 2, at pie nic dinner which took the place Of the regular Department meeting. The picnic, followed by a softball game, was held near the At Rock Dump.
 The men of Company No. gave the dinner because, they said, they wanted to show Company No. 2 that no hard feelings existed because of the latter's failure to make good a bet they lost last year when No. l trounced them in the annual hase- ball game and No. 3 was supposed to have furnished feed.
 To top the evenings entertain ment, the two companies engaged in a sottball game which no one can figure out who won. Witnesses say that an adding machine would be necessary to determine the score and no one could say which team had emerged victorious.
 Leonard Holmquist managed to combine both tumbling and baseball tactics as he made one of the most outstanding plays of the game. Another sensational play came when Elroy Ninnis put his hand in the air to catch the ball but just man. aged to defect it into Earle Hun ter's mitt who made the putout.
 Thanks were given to the entire Department for its fine work on the Douglas beach The Juneau Bremen built considerable equipment for the beach in their spare time and also put in additional other work on the beach.
