A deliberate attempt to destroy the magnificent Maplewood Park, Chicago. by fire, occurred Just previous to the big mid-west meeting there last Monday night. The plant represents a $3 million investment and it had just under- gone a $500,000 beautification and expansion program xvith the grand stand and clubhouse doubled in size. The firebugs planned to knock out the Maplewood mutucl department, thereby killing the very nerve centre of the plant. Entrance was made through a three-foot entrance in the fence and a 75 foot path of gasoline and oil three feet vzide was laid a- cross a cement walk tn the cast end of the grand stand. The tire was touched off at the point nearest to the opening ln the fcnce. The flames swept through the flooring of the mutuel department which housed the intricate iviring system but quick action by volunteer firemen and the small fire brigade at the track put the blaze out before the damage was vcry great.

Jake Thur- meier, coach of the Airforoe entry, the Flyers will be hard to beat on Sunday. They realize it's their last chance and every player will be giving his best to force the series to a third game. Immediately af- ter thls contest Curran d: Briggs will play Dieppe. No dottbt I large urowd of fans will be on hlmd to see this doubleheader. starting pitchers in the semi- final fixture are expected to be Cyril Smith for the Abbles and Jack Murphy for the Alrforce team. Both are tilrovrers of renown in the League and have turned in creditable performances. 'I‘omorr0w will be the climax in their pitching chores for the year. As an anti-climax. the game will solve the mystery as to who will win the League's batting champ- ionship. Maurice Goodwin, Glen Matheson and Verne Larter are so tightly packed in the race for the title that if either even fails to get a hit during the game then they could all wind up in a tie for the ('l‘n\\'ri, Goodwin. however, seems as the likely choice for the crown if one can judge on the hitting of the three during the last several games. "Moe" has been the Ab- bies‘ big siege gun in their last outings as he has collected at least two hits in each game. In one game he went so far as to garner four safe blows in five trips to the platter. The Abbies will leave the Bus Stop at one o'clock and will travel to the western capital by car. Game time is set at 2.30 and a big crowd an attempt to distract fans.
