‘SECOND PLACE JOE’ UP IN ARMS

Manager McCarthy Advises Writers His Yankees Are Heading for Flag This Year Tm Tired of Hearing That Moniker,’ Pilot Confesses; Thinks His Pitchers Will Outclass Tigers in Duel for Pennant. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Jan. 16.—Joe McCarthy's baseball tip for 1936 is to watch the New York Yankees. By the end of the coming campaign the Yanks’ manager hopes to have rid himself of the nickname “Second Place Joe ”

Cnofessing himself very weary indeed of the moniker hung on him bv New York baseball writers because of the Yanks’ penchant for finishing second under him, McCarthy told the scribes at a beefsteak dinner last night at Jack Dempsey's restaurant that his club has serious designs on the 1936 pennant. “I'm just as tired of finishing second as you fellows are,” McCarthy said. “I think we are going to do something about getting out of the runner-up position this season.” Owner Chimes In Col. Jacob Runpert, wearing a chef’s apron and a chef's paper hat labeled, ‘ you’re not the whole heating plant because you're full of hot air,” supplemented his manager’s remarks with the statement that he was striving with every resource at his command to build the Yankees back to their former glory. “Mr. McCarthy isn't nearly as tired of finishing second ls I am,” said Col. Ruppert. “I hope to see the Yankees make it 16 straight world series victories before I die.” The Yanks have 12 straight world series victories to their credit, beating the Pirates in 1927, the Cardinals in 1928 and the Cubs in 1932 in four straight each. During McCe.lhy’s five-year regime, the Yanks have won one pennant and world title and finished second four times. Gives His Reasons McCarthy does not agree that the 1936 American League race will be a duel between the champion Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox. The Yanks and Tiger? are the top teams, he believes. Among McCarthy’s statement were the following: “The Yanks have the best pitching staff in the league. • “Gomez, Ruffing Broaca and Pearson will be his ‘big four.’ “The Yanks could use a second baseman, and will keep up their efforts to get one, possibly Odell Hale us Cleveland. “Detroit has a better ball club than the Red Sox. “Gomez and Broaca will win more games than Rowe and Bridges of the Tigers or Grove and Ferrell of the Red Sox.” Confidence in Manager Col. Ruppert agrees with McCarthy that the Yanks have a good ball club and will be in the thick of the race. He is ready to back McCarthy to the limit, having utmost confidence in his managerial tactics. “Last year we w T ere unfortunate,” commented Col. Ruppert. “Arms, legs and eyes went wrong. Some of our players left their games in Japan, others got hurt during the season. This year we hope for a better break.” Net Gossip English Avenue Boys' Club has scheduled games with outstanding teams for the next three Friday nights.

Four Teams Hang Up Big Totals in Pin Sessions Quartet of Indianapolis League Aggregations Pass 3000; Heiss, Kimmel Share Individual Honors.

BY BERNARD HARMON INDIVIDUAL scoring of the various pin loops in action on local alleys last night was nothing to shout about, but four teams of the Indianapolis League had their members clicking to such an extent that a quartet of nifty totals were tacked up.

Irish Quintet j Wins, Awaits Satan Tussle Locals Work Up Steam for Tilt With Victory Over Greenfield. Cathedral High School’s basketball warriors trained their guns on the Jeffersonville Satans today upon their return from a successful invasion of Greenfield. The Irishers worked up steam for tomorrow night’s encounter here with the Satans by whipping the fast Greenfield quintet last night, 25 to 20. The victory snapped Greenfield’s “hoodoo” over Indianapolis schools, as the Black and Gold cagers previously had trounced Shortridge and Washington. A free toss by Broderick and a goal by Leahy pushed the Irish into an early lead, but the host team, led by Wilson and C. Dickman, came back strong and waged a seesaw battle which ended at the half with the score tied, 11-all. Broderick, who captured scoring honors with five field goals and three free throws, speeded up in the third quarter, and aided by Conner, gave the Cathedrals a lead which they retained throughout the balance of the fray.

GOTHAMBROPES IN DARKNESS AS CURRENT FAILS Huge Area Is Completely Paralyzed for Hours by Mishap. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—At 4:15 p. m. New York City was winding up the day’s business and starting home for the night. Late shoppers hurried through stores; street cars and subways were accelerating to rush hour schedules; motor cars jammed rain-wet streets; pedestrians scurried in premature darkness for shelter. At 5:16 a bit of insulation burned from a cable on the sixth floor of the Hell Gate plant of the New York Edison Cos., second largest generating unit in the world. A spark jumped an unprotected gap, a four-foot knife switch snapped, a sheet of flame blinded workmen and life left the huge generators in an instant. On the wet streets outside, and in the air above them and in the ground below, from 59th-st in Manhattan far north over Harlem and the Bronx and into Westchester County, the incandescent brilliance of New York at night abruptly expired. Street lights and traffic signals went black; stores, theaters, hotels and houses fell into darkness; street cars stalled and subway motormen jammed air and sand to their trains as block signals winked off. In Parkway Hospital nurses were fitting an oxygen tent over the face of Allan Principi, 6, sinking toward death of pneumonia. An ironfaced head nurse and two trembling novitiates completed the job by the light of penny-book matches taken from an apron pocket. Elevators Are Stalled Elevators in tall building along stygian avenues halted terrifyingly between floors or glided to shaft bottoms and could not rise again. Diners in restaurants groped for food. Shoppers stumbled from stores and shops lighted by blinking flashlights, to streets little lighter. WMle startled business men, housev “es and city authorities swampeu *riephone switchboards, themselves partially disrupted, the city’s home-bound thousands were stranded. Excited rumors of subway wrecks, bombings and indescribable catastrophes flow. Here and there in the darkness a small area remained lighted because direct current and alternating current systems are wildly mixed. In many buildings elevators worked but lights went off, or vice versa. In one large theater the marquee sign burned brightly, while the projection equipment was dead. Safety Signals Disabled For the same reason, trains on most of the city-owned independent subways were able to run, but their safety signals did not operate and trains moved by inches through dark tunnels. Authorities estimated

PETERS TO SPEAK AT 4 MONTHLY MEETINGS FHA to Be Explained by Director at January Gatherings. R. Earl Peters, Indiana director of the Federal Housing Administration, is to speak at four meetings this month, discussing the operation of the FHA and its contributions toward the speeding up of business activities. He is scheduled to address a meeting of the Portland Cement Association at Hammond today; a meeting of bankers, business and professional men tomonow night at Batesville; the roofing contractors’ convention at the Lincoln next Wednesday morning, and the lumber dealers’ convention here Jan. 24. that 60,000 persons were in downtown stations at the time. Thousands more crowded into the subterranean depots as the evening rush increased. Police finally roped off entrances and sent passengers to other systems, which because of the unwonted patronage were in their turn swamped. The demand for candles, oil lamps and gas mantles emptied store shelves in a twinkling. Some disgruntled housewives reported to police that opportunistic merchants were asking 50 cents for two-for-a-nickel candles. Emergency Squads Organized Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia and Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine organized an emergency safety organization from police headquarters. All the city’s firemen were ordered from*their homes to duty and all available policemen were put on patrol to prevent looting. Police stations themselves were dark and the Bronx police radio could not work. Looting did not develop, but department stores and jewelry shops called hastily on private detective agencies for emergency squads. Clerks in Bloomingdale’s. largest store in the district, said they were unable to see the ends of their counters while store detectives and officials hurriedly, but slowly, herded hundreds of customers out the doors. Downtown plants of the Edison Cos. and other utility companies around the affected district cooperated to throw partial power into the dead cables at 6 o'clock. They gained ground steadily from then until 11 p. m., when all but a few isolated areas were lighted again. Company Issues Statement The traffic jam relaxed as street cars resumed movement around 8 o'clock and traffic lights, winking crazily after being dark, won back to normalcy. But traffic squads said traffic was not normal until after midnight. Edison Cos. officials said the mis- i hap was one which might happen to I any power plant. The Hell Gate plant covers two city blocks, is seven stories high and employs 800 men. The atmospheric concussion from the flash of blue flame when the short circuit occurred shattered a window 10 feet away from the switch board. Transformers up to four miles away burned out, complicating repair work. Operation did not return to normal until today.
