Fishbowl Causes Fire In Fredericksburg; Others Fishy, Too AUSTIN Summer's terrific heat waves bring out stories of some mighty peculiar fire hazards, reports Marvin Hall, State fire insurance commissioner. A fish bowl, placed on a table where it could catch the full force of the sun rays, was responsible for a fire in Fredericksburg, Hall declared. He said a water bottle was held to be the cause of a blaze in Dallas.

"Of course fires from this cause are few and far between," the Commissioner explained, "but one fire is one too many."

CITY OF KERRVILLE GAS DEPARTMENT Agriculture Group Concludes Work Conference Here Thirty-seven Texas educators, outstanding in the field of vocational agriculture, with their fa- ilies, mixed a little summer play with their annual work conference which convened here Friday and continued through Monday morning. The State vocational agriculture directors and supervisors held their sessions in the Blue Bonnet Hotel and laid plans for the year's program of work in the various schools of Texas. A feature of the affair was an enjoyable watermelon feast Saturday afternoon which was held at the D.

H. Comparette farm. The guests were taken on a tour of inspection of the farm following the bounteous fesat, and were enthusiastic over the many erosion control devices, the electric fences, and the various grains and grasses which Mr. Comparette has introduced on his property. Assisting with the affair were Cecil Clendenin, Tivy High School agriculture instructor; R.

R. Tippit, county agricultural agent, and Elton Ford, instructor of agriculture at Center Point. The meeting here was a prelude to the annual conference of the 600 Texas teachers of vocational agriculture which began Tuesday at College Station. Attending the A. and M.

conference from Kerr County are Cecil Clendenin and Elton Ford. R. A. Manire, director of vocational agriculture, and B. C.

Davis, area supervisor, were lavish in their praise for the pleasant facilities and courtesies accorded the conference again in Kerrville. Expressing belief that anything might happen in 1940, Director Manire speaking with reference to the teachers conference said, "Our teachers of vocational agriculture need to find out more about farmer thinking, and in this connection, 10 farmers, one future farmer and two non-farmers will be the speakers." The subjects of discussion will range from "Problems and Policies for Triple through Developing District Program for Soil and Water Conservation" to "Agricultural Economics from the Farmer's Point of View." Manire said that these men have been selected because they have become leaders among farmers in their own communities and in the State as well. Robert I. Wilson Thanks Kerr Voters Robert I. Wilson, Kerrville attorney, has requested the Mountain Sun publish the following statement to the citizens of Kerr County.

I am truly grateful to them for that expression and I am as proud of it as if though I had actually been nominated. sigaed: Robert I. Wilson" SPORTS Emphasis on the intricate details '-'of line play is an outstanding feature of the coaching school in Austin this week and sponsored by the Texas High School Football Coaches Association.

Dana X. Bible, athletic director and football coach of the University of Texas, is acting as host to more than 300 high school mentors and a handful of college coaches who are swarming around the spacious Texas Memorial Stadium and Gregory Gymnasium, site of the 1940 school. Assisting Homer Norton of A. and M. and Dutch M'eyer of TCU, the head lecturers, are some of the Southwest's best teachers of line play.

Meyer brought along Mike Brumbelow, and we all remember what sort of a forward wall he built around Ki Aldrich in 1938 and that all his lines are perennial rocks of strength. Dell Morgan' brought in some new ideas from Dixie. Dell is the new line coach at Rice, moving in from Auburn. Before that he was at Texas Tech, so he's no stranger to the Southwest. Then there's Dutchy Smith from Texas Tech with present and former Matador stars as demonstrators.

Homer Norton is exhibiting Virgil Jones, Aggie freshman assistant, who played guard alongside Joe Routt and is reputed one of the ablest teachers in the business. Coach Bible has divided the afternoon sessions into two parts. The first devoted to demonstration work by the experts with the second part to actual coaching of the 50 high school players who will perform in the North-South game in Austin the night of August 10. Tivy coaches Carl Price and Champ Callihan are engrossed in the proceedings is, Callihan is engrossed in the coaching school for next Sunday Friend Carl takes unto himself a wife, and maybe his notebook is filled with a few budget figures along with the offensive and defensive diagrams. of the greatest forward ever produced in the Southwest is attending the coaching school in the Capitol City, and we don't mean Sammy Baugh, Gerald Mann, Davy O'Brien, Billy Patterson or any of the other sharpshooters that the present day fan would instantly call to mind.

It has been nearly twenty years since this expert passer wrote his name in S.M.U.'s hall of fame. If you followed the 1923 S.B.U. team that won the conference championship, a title that University of Texas fans thought the Ponies didn't deserve, you'll recall that Logan Stollenwerck was the kingpin. Ray Morrison, now head football coach at Temple, thinks Stollenwerck was the equal of Baugh, O'Brien, or any passer rated as "tops" in intercollegiate football. "Stollenwerck was built along O'Brien's line," says Morrison, "and he could do as many tricks with the ball as Davey.

"He just never received the publicity that O'Brien rightfully gained because little was known of Southwest football in the early 20's. The former S.M.U. mentor should know of what he speaks of Stollenwerck's passing, but I hardly see how one can compare passers of that era with those of today, for the aerial game has seen so many innovations. The air attack now is far ahead of that used in 1923. Too, it might be pointed out that Morrison left this section after Sammy's sophomore year, which hardly leaves him in a position to compare O'Brien and Baugh with a man he coached for three seasons.

Stollenwerck is now head coach at Waxahachie, having been there since serving a similar position at Denison for several years A A nd aside from the fact that Dizzy Dean is definitely through as a big league moundsman, and very probably finished as a Texas League hurler, too, there comes an interesting story relative to a couple of better than middlin' pitchers on the San Antonio Missions baseball team. Irony is as much a part of baseball as a base hit, but almost too bitter is the strange case of the pitcher-less St. Louis Browns and a couple of their San Antonio farmhands Robert Muncrief and Maurice Newlin. The Browns are faithfully attempting to fulfill their long-time lease on their normal American League habitat the cellar. Murderous hitting by Rip Radcliff, Walt Judnich, Johnny Berardino, George McQuinn, Harlond Clift, et al, can't keep pace with the runs charitable Brownie pitchers permit.

But down on the farm in San Antonio, Muncrief and Newlin are turning in hurling chores that would have every soout in big league baseball tailing them 5 they didn't belong to the pitcher- less Browns I What's the gag? Muncrief, who has won 20 games, and Newlin, a 17-game winner at the three-quarter post of the Texas League race, are the life blood of a San Antonio team scrapping for the pennant. San Antonio is a baseball mad city, leading the loop in attendance. Muncrief and are idols. The club is a moneymaker. St.

Louis needs Muncrief and Newlin but in San Antonio. The books will balance better come the fall. Manager Marty M'cManus, the voice of experience after 14 years in the majors, bubbles over on Muncrief and Newlin. Only Friday night before the largest throng in San Antonio baseball history some 12,250 Muncrief humbled the once great Dizzy Dean, now with Tulsa, to win his twentieth victory. Sau Antonio still has approximately 45 games to play.

"Chances are great that Muncrief and Newlin will jump right into the Brown hurling staff next year. As a matter of fact, they are considerably better than some pitchers the Browns have at the present time," mused McManus. "Both have pitching sense, courage, and stuff. They're winning because of willingness to learn and work. Muncrief should easily win 23 games and Newlin 20 at their present nace." The 24- year-old pitchers are the hardest working pair in the league.

Muncrief has worked 224 innings to lead the league; Newlin only one frame less. Muncrief has struck out 123; average a base on balls every 4 innings. Muncrief is on option to San Antonio; Newlin is outright club property. The 6-foot 1-inch 200-pounder split time between Hollywood and San Antonio last season and worked briefly for the Browns late in th chase. But they turned him back this spring.

Newlin won 29 games, lost only 6 for Topeka of the Western Association last year. He is known as the hard luck kid of the Texas League, having dropped numerous one-run recisions. But that isn't all. San Antonio has still another potential Brown pitcher Loy Hanning. He threw a no-hit, no-run game the other night and opines he has another kid sensation there.

Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Auld took their children, J.

M. Jr. and Nancy, to San Antonio the past week, where they both had tonsil operations. Rev. and Mrs.

Paul S. Van Dyke have as their guests for a few days Rev. and Mrs. Lardner Moore and children, who are in the United States on a furlough from Japan. Rev.

and Mrs. Moore and the Van Dykes were at the same foreign mission station in Japan several years before the latter family returned to America. Rev. and Mrs. Moore are natives of Sherman.
