Boy Laskey Identifies Match Cause in South End Fire
A 14 year old boy, James Laskey of 4 Seneca Street, is the key witness in resolving the origin of the South End fire. He told the fire marshal and reporters that a man seated above him dropped a lit match into a shed near the right field, starting the blaze that consumed the State Street block. Laskey described crawling into the ball grounds to watch the game, then saw the match fall and ignite a stringer. He escaped the flames and alerted Patrolman Reynolds. The incident prompted investigation with Colonel George Billings and Second Baseman Bobby Lowe learning of the account. The fire caused extensive damage and prompted relief efforts totaling $3000 raised so far.
