Springville – Leon Thomas, of Hoboken, NJ, visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anson Thomas. Mr. Thomas holds a responsible position as foreman of a telephone company and is also greatly interested in radio work. He has manufactured and sold several radio sets, and he brought one for his parents. He also tried a demonstration at the Community building, but conditions were not favorable for making it a complete success, though snatches of concerts were caught. ALSO What proved to be a miraculous escape from serious injury, or probably loss of life, occurred when a Ford touring car, owned by Glenn Davis, caught fire. Mr. Davis was filling his car with gas at Riley’s garage and was standing on the running board, looking into the tank, when the fumes ignited from a cigar which he was smoking and instantly the car was in flames and his clothing around his limbs caught fire, burning one ankle quite badly. A number of men nearby succeeded in saving the main body of the car, though the cushions and top were completely destroyed. What probably saved Mr. Davis’ life was the fact that he had on his car a self-closing cap to the gasoline tank and at the first burst of flame, he instantly jerked the nozzle of the hose out and the tank was closed.

Hop Bottom/Brooklyn – defeated Dimock in the first game of the County League season, 20 to 13. The pitchers performed well. Ira Case, Hop Bottom, having twelve strikeouts.

Burbank performed in left and right fields for Hop Bottom and George Stewart, of “bunter fame,” covered center. Game lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes, but was interesting from start to finish.
