Frankie Frisch's insurance policy
returned a nice fat dividend check
to the Pittsburgh Pirates today, and
no one was happier thin the "policy."
■'i' himself.
For, this policy, better known to
the trade as Jim the Hipper Collins,
not only paid off when it minted
most in the clutch — but he did
it against the Chicago Cubs, the club
that let the policy ' lapse" by send-
ing him to the minors a couple of
y6i«8 BSO< • -u
It must have warmed the hearts
of both Frankie and Bip. that pinch -
single Collins delivered in the llth
inning yesterday which gave the
Pittsburgh Pirates a 2-1 decision
over the Cubs.
The win didn't affect the stand-
ings in the league, for the Pirates are
well down in the lists and the New
York Giants, setting the pace, were
rained out at Boston.
Over in the American. league,
however, the top spot* were re-
shuffled and dealt over again and
there were your old pounding pals,
the Yankees, right on top of the
heap- A combination of Marius
two three-run innings, one of them
produced by Charley Keller's homer,
gave the Yanks a 6-3 decision over
the Boston Bed Sox.
This setback dropped the Sox from
the No. 1 slot right down to a tie for
third place with the Cleveland In-
dians, Who were nosed out 2-1 by
the Chicago White Sox. w
"Hot Potato" Luke Hamlin turned
in his second straight hurling ."nif-
ty" to give the revamped Brooklyn
Dodgers a 6-1 win over the futile
Phillies.
• Lonnie Frey's ninth inning double
sent the winning run home to citable
the Cllncinnati Beds to down the
St Louis Cardinals 3-2.
Tommy Bridges' steady elbowing
and a two-run triple by Frankie
Croucher, in celebration of his grad-
uation from the bench, gave the
Detroit Tigers a 4-2 edge over the
St. LoUls Browns. Washington and
the Philadelphia Athletics were side-
lined by cold weather.

31 MILLIONS
Fire losses In the United States
during March have been estimated
by the National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters at $31,471,000, an increase
Of 21 per cent over the estimated
losses of $26,102,000 for February
1041, and an increase of 6 per cent
over the estimated figures for March
1940, it was announced yesterday. *
The estimated March fire losses
brought the total for the first quar-
ter of the year to $84,043,OOQ, it was
pointed out by W. E. Mallalieu, Di-
rector of Activities with which the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
is this year observing the 75th An-
niversary of its founding.
"(These fire losses amounting to
$84i.000,000 in only three months"
Mr. Mcllalieu said, "equal the de-
livered price of approximately 336
Consolidated B-24, four engine, long
range, heavy patrol bombers which
are being built for the United States
Army.
"This comparison between the
value of property destroyed by fire
and the quantity of defense material
such a sum could buy forcibly il-
lustrates the necessity of reducing
the national fire waste in this time
of emergency. The National Board
of Fire Underwriters is devoting its
75th Anniversary year activities to
impressing upon the American peo-
ple that National Defehse can be
greatly strengthened by a more ef-
fective fire defense. Fires in defense
industries can seriously interfere with
our preparation to protect our de-
mocracy. It is the duty of every
American to try to prevent fires.
And most fires can be prevented."

LANDED IN
PHILIPPINES
MANILA. (AP) — Movement to
the Philippines of United States
armed forces —< principally coast ar-
tillery, air corps and infantry de-
tachments 'was heavily increased
with the arrival of the transport Re-
public from Fort Mason, Calif.
The transport, making its first
call at Manila in nine years, landed
more than 2,000 soldiers. Among
them were 1,400 coast artillerymen
to be stationed at Fort Mills on Cor-
regidor Island, most distant outpost
under the American fiiig. • -
The troops, from every state in
the Union, represented the largest
single American force ever landed
in the islands. Also aboard the
transport were almost 3,000 tons of
army cargo, including war equip-
ment.
On its return trip the Republic is
scheduled to carry a capacity pau-
, senger load, mostly the wives and
l children of army officers and men on
Philippine duty.

To Win Tennis Title
HOUSTON, Tex., Apnl ?5. (AP)—
Towering Frank Kovacs went on to
other tennis triumphs today after
crushing Bitsy Grant, of Atlanta in
the finals of the River Oaks tennis
tourney.
The Oakland, Calif., comedian was-
n't in the. mo<«.i. f(.e fun yesterday as
he seriously blMted Grant, 0-2, 6-3,

HOUSTON. Tex.. April 25. (AP)—
Texas' 86-year old appointee as in-
terim senator — fiery General An-
drew Jackson Houston — intends to
; assume his post actively.
Full of spunk and slightly irked
at reports the suddenness of his ap-
pointment had resulted unfavorably
upon his physical condition, the son
of immortal Sam Houston declared.
he felt "tip-top" and would leave'
for Washington probably ".within a
week." ■ ' " .
In his first interview since Gover-
nor W. Lee O'Daniel appointed him
Monday. General Houtseon said he
was uncertain when he would take
the oath of office.
"I .can't say — just any time," he
said.
The octogenarian's voice, coming
over the telephone from his Bayside
home 25 miles from Houston, sound-
ed strong and clear.
General Houston, believed to be
tlie oldest man ever appointed or
elected to the national senate, said
he would not be a candidate in the
special election set for June 28 to
determine who wi|l fill out the un-
expired term of the late Morris
Sheppard.
He reported he was writing a his-
tory of the Republic of Texas and
"simply Wouldn't have the time."

"Dog laundries" may be a gag for
radio or movie comedians, but they
have brought extra money to enter-
prising young fellows. Last sum-
mer an Eagle Scout in Chicago did a
flourishing business washing dogs
for his neighbors. He charged 50
cents for large dogs. 35 cents for
medium-sized dogs, and 25 bents
for pups. His service included call-
ing for and delivering the dogs, and
a thorough washing with flea-killing
soap. — Boys' Life. /
