LAYS NAVAL WRECK
TO BAD JUDGMENT
Destroyer Commander Says
Currents and Quake May
Have Been Factor.
By the Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, September &c.
More testimony concerning the navi-
cation of ships following the lead
of the destroyer DeIphy when she
made a fatal change of course to the
eastward and crashed into the rocks
off Honda, Calf, September 8, was
expected to be given here today
before the naval court of inquiry in
vestigating the disaster.
With the conclusion late yesterday
of the testimony by Lieut.. Commander
Donald T. Hunter, commander of the
Delphy, and indefinite -postponement
of further testimony by Lieut.. Lau-
renee Blodgett, its navigator, witnesses
at today's session were scheduled to
be drawn from those of the thirteen
navel officer defendants who were re-
sopnsible for the conduct of destroy
ers astern of the flagship on the night
of the wreck and, therefore, not di-
rectly implicated in the plotting of
8 o'clock, FIVE minutes before the
crash.
That an "error of Judgment" caused
the Honda disaster was admitted by
Lieut.. Commander Hunter yesterday.
although he stated that an unexpected
notherly current and the type of
radio compass used at Point Arguello
were also contributing causes, while
stranger currents resulting from the
Japanese earthquake and compass
distur Dances attributed to, the solar
eclipse might have been partly re-
sponsible."
Much of the testimony introduced
during the past week. has dwelt on
the heroic efforts of officers and men
to ge the crews of hte seven wreck ed
vessels ashore after the crash; and
citations issued by Rear Admiral
Sumner Kittelle. chief of the destroyer
squadronss commencing practically
all of the defendants for their brav-
cry and GOODNESS during the crisis,
have attracted additional attention To
this phase of the inquiry.
Another angle of the disaster en-
phasized in Mondays and yesterdays
sessions concerned charges that Liquor
was partly responsible for the loss
of ships and men. On both days IL
was specifically denied by defendants
that there was liquor aboard the
destroyers.

fers to the responsibility of states for
political crimes committed within
their borders
Multitudinous< problems occupied
five of the league commissions today /;
they sat simultaneously at the league
headquarters. but the most trouble
some problem of all was that definite
iy fixing the method whereby nom
permanent members of the council
shall be elected. The system of elec-
tion has never been clearly outlined,
and today's deliberations brought no
further light.
China May Lose Seat.
The council now is composed of
four permanent members--Great Brit
ain, France, Italy and Japan; the six
nom permanent members are Spain,
Belgium, Brazil. China. Uruguay and
sweden. The non permanent members
are elected yearly, as the amendmnt
tnae only two should go out every
year never was ratified. Both Poland
and Czechoslovakia are campaigning
for seats in the council, and 1t is gem
orally expected that NJ. Benes of
Cgechoslovakia will be elected. China
probably will lose her seat.
The French proposed the abolition
or the temporary mixed commission
of the league, which handles ques-
ton on disarmament, on the ground
that 1t contains no representation of
tno governments and therefore can
achieve nothing concrete In arma-
ment reduction. Lord Robert Cecil
opposed the French suggestion and
the council came to no decision.
Boy Scouts Favored.
The project Of Augustin Edwards of
Chile that all governments be asked
to extend all possible facilities to
Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in their
travels was enthusiastically approved
An Australian woman delegate was
applauded when she said that 25 900
Mohammedans are aff1liated with the
Boy Scouts organization.
The assembly of the league held
one of the most dramatic sessions in
it's history yesterday, when by one
hostile vote, that of Persia, the res
olution interpreting article x of the
covenant failed of passage. BY this
resolution states retain their sover-
eign rights to decide themselves what
military aid should be given to other
countries when attacked.
The president of the National Ar
menian delegation laid before the
league council a plan TO install $4,000
Armenians in the soviet republic of
the Caucasus. The council will study
the question OF whether IL can super
wise the disposition of the Arme enians.

result Of the situation in Brazil.

RUTH FACING HARD JOB ON
 NEW GROUND
King of Swat Not Expected to Break Old Record of
 5o Home Runs.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Its to and your own money back that Babe Ruth never again will bang out 59 four-sackers in a single season of effort And it's to 1 at this hectic moment in the whizz and whirr oi winter-leaguing that the Sultan of Swat won't cross the 50 mark in 1923.
 There's a reason several of 'em
 Foremost is the fact that the Yankees no more will disport in the Polo Grounds where the average Texas Leaguer' rezults in d four base clout into the right field bleach CTS. Ruth hit homers all around the circuit-but it was in those Polo Grounds where he created the most havoc with his mace.
 No More for Him
 But now-ah, those dear, old Polo Grounds will be no more for him.
 Whatever hitting he does in Goth am in future years must be done in the new Yankee ball park where. sad to relate from the Ruthian viewpoint the arrangement of the stands makes home-running infinitely more diff cult than in ye olden tymes.
 The distance from home plate to the right field stands in the Polo Grounds, at a point just inside the foul line, is 25S feet And that's exactly the same distance from the rubber to the stand in the New Yankee stadium. But where the SAD STUFF comes in for Ruth, and oth- CTS who love their American League home runs, is this fact:
 The stands in the new Yankee park FALL AWAY rather precipi- tately from the foul line
 At the Polo Grounds the distance from the plate to the right field stands just inside the foul line, is 25S feet but for a distance of per haps 50 feet the fall away is ex- tremely light, the end of the stand being no more than 2SO lor 2S5 feet from the plate.
 New Park Different
 But at the new Yankee park-ah, that's different.
 It's only 25S feet from the plate to the stands by foul line measurement. But the stand curves sharply away from the plate at that point. with the result that at distance of 50 feet from the foul line, the total dis tance from the plate to that point in the stands is well over 300 feet perhaps S25.
 That means it'll be necessary for a
