GUARDING AGAINST FIRE HAZARD
(Juneau Daily Empire)
Action to strictly enforce the building ordinances of the
city has been taken by the City Council and in this determ
ination to eliminate the fire hazards the officials should have
the wholehearted support of all property owners in Juneau.
Fire is the worst menace always facing a city and where
there are a great number of wooden structures in close prox
imity too much care cannot be taken to see that every possi
ble danger is guarded against so far as possible.
Fire Chief V. W. Mulvihill in discussing the matter with
the Council explained that buildings were being erected
without adequate fire escapes and that a number of struc
tures in the city were a fire menace to adjoining property.
He contended the owners were making no effort to remedy
the situation.
One of the most vivid examples to us in Alaska of what
fire can do to a city was the conflagration that laid the city
of Nome in ashes last year. While we may go along, as we
are too often wont to do, under the misguided impression
that such a disaster cannot strike us, the fact is ever present
that fire is no respector of persons or things. Every large
city in the States now enforces its building ordinances to the
letter and as a result many of them have been able to force
down insurance rates at the same time avoiding any serious
loss from flames.
Full co-operation should be given the city officials in this
endeavor to make Juneau a safer as well as a more attractive
place. Building owners in complying fully with the law
will not only be protecting themselves but they are guarding
against a loss that might strike the entire community. Let
us watch against such a calamity as Nome experienced.

About Baseball
(Bv The Associated Press)
Apparently Lou Gehrig is going to
borrow a page from the St. Louis
Cardinals’ book and depend on a
last minute surge to again win the
slugging and batting honors of the
American League. Until the Yan
kees final western swing Gehrig has
shown no signs of slinking off the
slump that plagued him since the
season opened. In trying to place
the blame for the big first baseman’s
failure to set the league alive with
his bat and to carry on where his
pal, Babe Ruth left off, some point
ed to the barnstorming jaunt in the
Far East; others suggested that he
needed his bell cow. Babe Ruth, to
show him the way,while many were
satisfied that it was simply a case
of “over baseballing,” due to Lou’s
efforts to prolong his consecutive
games streak beyond the reach of
future generations of big leagues.
Gehrig himself held with none of
these speculations, he just stuck to
his job of doing the very best he
could and he hoped he would leap
from the slump in short order just
as he had done on other occasions.
In the meantime a new pretender
to the slugging throne sprung up in
the person of Hank Greenberg, who
had a merry old time setting the
pace in home runs, runs batted in,
runs scored, doubles, and in staying
right up with the leaders for the
individual batting championship.
LARRUPIN’ LOU AGAIN
For the first time this season, on
the final sweep around the loop,
Gehrig resembled the Larrupin’ Lou
of past seasons. He hit .428, batting
in 28 runs, and brought his home
run total up to 27 with eight round
trips in the last eight days. That
sudden splurge with the stick placed
him right up within striking dis

tance of the batting leaders.
The opposing pitchers treated Geh
rig with the respect he commanded
in the past for he was passed no less
than 26 times, five of the free tickets
coming in a single game to equal the
American league record.
THEY FEAR PEPPER
There is no chance of Gehrig ov
ertaking the Tigers’ star as far as
runs batted in goes, but he now
occupies the position of runner-up
in that department. He has already
stepped out in front in the runs
scored column.
Pepper Martin has not been mak
ing any threatening gestures as far
as winning the National League bat
ting crown is concerned, but there
isn't a player in the senior circuit
who is more genuinely feared by
the opposing pitchers. It is not that
Pepper is such a dangerous man at
the late, there are others who are
outhitting hi,m by 80 points, but the
fact that he manages to get on base1
too often and then proceeds to “get
in the hair” of the man on the!
mound. The Wild Horse of the Osage
is again rampant on the baselines
and manages to annoy the pitchers1
no end. He just seems to get under
their skin. There isn't a pitcher in,
the National League who would
hesitate to name Pepper as the last
man they want to see out there
prancing around a bag. They never
know exactly what he is going to
pull. That same uneasiness is reflect
ed in the work of the infielders.,
Martin worries 'em to death and
thoroughly enjoys doing it.
