KALISPELL FIRE
DESTROYS MILL

KALISPELL, Mont, July GA
fire of undetermined origin ragged
out of control until late last night
and threatened to wipe out the
entire Kalispell Lumber company
yard All available fire fighting
! apparatus were summoned to the
blaze when buildings containing
the planer plant, garage and other
small shops were consumed by the
blaze.
! Employees working in the planer
| pla mt suddenly noticed flames
shooting up from the floor of the
building, believed caused by spon-
taneous combustion or an over
heated belt. The machinery was
turned off and all mill hands fought
the blaze. The heat from the
flames was so intense that they
were unable to control it before
the firemen arrived.
Firemen Use Shields
Firemen USE large wooden
boards as shields to protect them
selves from the intense heat, and
had to retreat when the wood
started smoking. Employees of the
Kalspen Lumber company turned
10 removing fixtures and furniture
and the company's trucks were
driven out of danger. Residents of |
near by houses started to remove |
their belongings when the water !
pressure became too low to wet
down their houses.
Smoke DarkenS Town
Smoke from the blaze settled on
the city like fog and everyone
stopped work to observe the blaze.
One steel railroad boxcar undam-
aged by the blaze contained luu-
Der. When the door was opened,
the lumber due to the intense heat
had turned to charcoal.
This is the second serious fire
to strike the lumber company. In
1927 fire started in a pile of lum-
Der and burned for "a hours, de-
'troying all the stock pile but the

Will Coach Wes Fesler, whose

Another says that Athletic Direc-

Those who claim to be in the
know say that Fesler has been
offered at least two industrial
jobs which will pay him $25 900
a year. That is twice what he
gets for coaching.
He is the fifth coach for the
Bucks during the 1940s. At Ohio

1929 and 1880. He took the coach

Buffalo Bid for Place
In New Grid League
Wins Bell S Support
By the Associoied Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. IL
Commissioner Bert Bell of the
National American Foot all
League has encouraged local pro
football fans who are campaigning
for a franchise.
A fve-man Buffalo delegation
returned here last night after
meeting with Bell in a hotel suite
in New York.
DR.. James j. Ailinger, co-chair-
man of a drive to raise $500,000
for adequate financing, said the
group was "eonvinced that eBuf-
falo) has an excellent chance OF
securing an operating franchise
in the new circuit" @f =
Only three teams of the ALL
America Conference we're included
in the merger with the National
League. The Buffalo Bills were
not one of them.
Bell stated, emphatically," DR..
Ailinger said, that Buffalo would
be welcomed with open arms
if the 13 owners now holding
franchises were assured, in ad-
vance, of substantial gates for
every home game in Buffalo =
ASKED for his own reaction to
the Buffalo application, Bell
stated: I personally would like
to see Buffalo in the new league.
Already several owners in
our league have indicated their
willingness to have Buffalo as a
partner in this new enterprise.
But it is still a business PROPOSE
ton, and the stronger season
ticket figures you can offer the
better chance you have to get a
franchise.''
DR.. Ailinger said the commit
tee would get to work on plans
for accepting season ticket pledges
as soon as possible. He added
that a formal application for ad-
mission to the new league would
be made January 10.
Bell was quoted as saying he
thought an advance of $240,000
for a six-game home schedule
would certainly impress league
officials.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.-The
New York Yankees who apparently
feel their livery is cure-all for
ailing and disappointing ball
players are believed interested in
the strange case of Pitcher Phil
Marchildon."
During the recent major league
meeting Manager Casey Stengel
of the Yanks indicated interest in
the smallish pitcher from Pene-
tanguishene, Ontario. Stengel is
reported to have offered Outf1elder
Johnny Lindell for the AS right
handler provided doctors reported
his arm is in good shape.
Connie Mack always has openly
coveted Lindell. but he steadfastly
refused to part with the likes of
Pitcher Joe Coleman to get the
big outfielder. He might be willing
to make deal with Marchildon as
bait.
The Marchildon- -Lindell deal
cropped up today with the news
that the pitcher was in Philadel-
phia preparatory to going to Balti-
more for an examination by DR..
George E. Bennett, surgeon who
removed the bone spur from Joe
Di Maggio's heel last spring.
Philadelphia officials say they
are bearing the expense of bring
ing Marchildon on from Canada
for the examination. but the pop
ular belief is that the Yanks are
footing the bill to find out if the
hurler is fit.
Apparently Stengel feels the old
Yankee magic will work with
Narchildon-put on q New York,
