PIRATES MISS
HEAVY BAT OF
JOHN RAWLINGS
BRILLIANT JOHNNY RAWLING
BROKE LEG MONTH AGO
HOOKING BASE.
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct 9. (/P)—
Johnny Rawlings, one of his legs
broken in his never ending efforts
to carry his team to the front, is
viewing the World Series battles from
the grand stand.
The Pirate owe much to the little
second baseman who arose to great
heights in the crucial series in New
York which saw the Giants collapse
for the first time in five years. His
fielding was sensational, his batting
timely, and well it might be, for it
was on that same baseball fiield in
New York, the Polo Grounds, that
Johnny Rawlings was recognized as
the greatest player of the World Se
ries.
Little Johnny was a member of the
Giant forces then, even at that time
a veteran whom the Braves had cast
adrift. With Boston he failed to
scintilate for there was little oppor
tunity for starring in such a club
as the Braves produced after the hal
cyon days of 1914. But his time
came and he took full advantage
of it. His bat and fielding were big
factors in the first Giant victory over
the Yankees.
Rawlings might well be termed a
money player, for it has been in the
crucial moments that he has risen
to his best. He will be missed when
the Pirates go into the World Se
ries, although Eddie Moore, now
scheduled for the position, is a ca
pable fielder and heavy hitter.
Johnny was injured at Forbes
Field while sliding in a base, only
a few weeks ago. In the morning
hehad been at the Oakmont Country
Club, a fan himself before the golf
prowess of the national amateur
champion, Bobby Jones.
Rawlings obtained his degree in
law at Leland Stanford University
before entering professional baseball.
He was born in Bloomfield, Iow’a, in
1S92, but makes his home in Califor
nia.

FIRE PREVENTION
SUGGESTIONS ARE
OFFERED BY CHIEF
Fire Prevention Week is a nation
| wide campaign to reduce the ever
mounting national ash heap; to keep
our city beautiful and unmarred by
the blackened ruins of a conflagra
tion, or perhaps the loss of precious
lives. We ask you to give thought
to measures of safety.
Winter is approaching. Heating
our homes becomes a necessity; that
this may be done with the least pos
sible danger, will you please before
attempting to use your furnace and
see to it that the chimney is as sound
and have it cleaned of all soot, see
that the pipe leading to the chimney
is in good condition, and remove from
the premises all waste, rags, paper,
and accumulations of every sort.
Look at electric connections and
if imperfect have them remedied at
once, see that no wires are hung
upon nails or metal hoks of any
kind.
Carelessness is the cause of more
fires than any of us can imagine. A
small fire may develop into a confla
gration which endangers the lives of
our dear ones and the destruction of
valuable property.
We have been very fortunate for
the past few" years, but from now on
let us ngt trust to luck, let us elim
inate the cause.
An ounce of prevention is worth
a ton of ashes.
BEAVERS RUN
WILD ABOARD
ADM. WATSON
GAME FOR STOCKING KODIAK IS
LAND GNAW THROUGH
CAGES AND ESCAPE.
A game hunt took place on the
Admiral Watson last night, while the
vessel was en route from Cordova
to Seward, according to passengers
arriving in port this morning, for a
number of beavers, which are being
taken to Kodiak to stock the island,
chewed feheir several ways from out
the pens, and for some hours romp
ed free about the ship. Instead of
guns, however, gunny sacks were
used in hunting the pesky animals
which, in the due course of time,
were all bagged and put back in new
boxes.
W. H. Casswell, druggist of Cor
dova, also a member of the Terri
torial Biological Survey, is in cus
tody of the pesky animals, which
number twenty-three beaver and sev
en muskrat. This shipment to Ko
diak where they will be liberated by
Carl Armstrong and Terry White,
completes the final shipment of game
stocking animals for this season.
There have been three consignments
from the Cordova area to the island
this year.
