Firefighters among the crew re-
manned to the last Suddenly a
heavier explosion shook the boat
The remaining men leaped into the
water and were picked up by lifeboats
from the Rose Isle and Monte Carlo,
nearby competing gambling vessels.
Guests and crew were placed
aboard these ships and later re-
moved to shore, u miles distant.
Cause Unknown
Fireboats continued to play
streams of water on the Johanna
Smith without apparent effect
Waves of black smoke touched with
orange flame shot skyward, visible
for miles. The flames diminished,
and left the pleasure boat smok-
ink hulk burned to the waters
edge.
The fire started below decks and
spread upward. Soon the upper
decks were afire and every man
aboard forced to flee.
Cause of the blaze was not deter
mined. Although possibly due to
defective wiring, the theory was ad-
vanced that it was the result of a
gambling feud.
Depression had diminished trade
and there was bitter competition
among the three gambling vessels
anchored off Long Beach. Monday
croupier was murdered aboard the
Rose Isle. The possibility of gamb-
lers' vengeance was to be investigat-
ed
Ed and Clarence Blaizier, BROTH
ers, owners of the ship, said their
loss was about s150,000. Most of
the currency in the games was
saved.

WASHINGTON TO
IGNORE JAPAN'S
ACTION In CHINA
By JOSEPH M. BAIRD

Dy DttlhD
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July %. = The
state department plans for the
present to ignore officially Japan's
invasion of Jehol province, China's
storehouse of coal, oil and timber.
This tentative policy, while in
sharp contrast with Secretary
Stimson's dramatic intercession in
the Manchurian trouble last fall,
is believed by high officials to be
the wisest course just now. 1t ap-
pears now there will be no imme-
diate protest to Toxic
The League of Nations investi-
eating commission, including one
American. is now in China. 1t is
believed here this body can make
necessary recommendations to the
league.
The departments policy does not
mean the United States has lost
interest in defending the "open
door" doctrine and the nine-power
treaty, guaranteeing Chinese SOW
ereignty. 1t merely. indicates that
no advantage is seen in further
discussions with Toxic just now,
even though officials are seriously
concerned about Jehol.
Perhaps, unless direct American
interests are affected, this govern
ment will remain quiet until after
the league commission has reported
The number of Japanese troops
in Manchuria is unknown here
Some officials estimate them at
about 10000 or four war strength
divisions.
While viewed with concern, the
reported dispatch of Japanese
troops to the Jehol border did not
surprise officials who have followed
the Manchurian campaign closely

BY JAMES II. STREET.

A TLANTA, September 16.-The
~ Chattanooga Lookouts have
~ their first pennant, the South
ern Base Ball Association has
another row and the folks who pay for
the show have learned a lesson about
the subtle art of ballyhoo as results of
the wild-eyed finish of the Dixie
Leagues season.
Chattanooga won by a margin of 2
percentage points over Memphis in a
fight which keyed base ball interest in
the pot-likker belt to a fevered en-
thusiasm seldom equaled even in the
boom days when the fans sat in box
seats instead Of bleacherS.
The Lookouts will play winners Of
the Texas League in the Dixie series,
and the old South is for the home town,
but it is split badly over the method
Chattanooga used to capture the
leagues title.
Joe Engel did it. "Col'nel Joe of
Tenn-o-see. sub" who came down from
Washington, transformed Chattanooga
into a redhot base ball town, called
his shots, beat the leagues directors in
battle of maneuvers and shook the
Staid loop with his high-preSsure bally-
400 ana press agentlng.
Chattanooga and Memphis were tied
virtually all the way down the stretch
and 1t soon was apparent that Memphis
had an advantage because its schedule
called for one more game than was on
the LoOkoutS' books. So Col. Joe, a
silk-topper perched jauntily on his
head. asked John Martin. president of
the league, for permission to replay a
game with Knoxville which had ended
in tie at dark.
Martin said "Okeh."
Memphis fans howled and Thomas
Watkins. the boss man of that club
asked the league directors TO override
the president
They did and the game was called
So Col Joe got in touch with Com
missioner Kenesaw Lands and he
ruled that the game was on again
Chattanooga won it and the pennant
The Memphis club argued that if that
tied game were replayed, then many
others tied during the season should
be replayed, but Commissioner Lands
shook his head and his ruling stuck.
Memphis fused and raved. Chat
tanooga celebrated and the base ball
experts reckoned the victory of Chat
tanooga would stimulate the national
game in little cities.
Engel bought the Lookouts three
years ago

the ladies. He wore silk toppers an6
drove an old automobile. He called
mis- club a circus-and it was A Negro
nondescript band played for the crowds
and Joe whooped it up by kidding
every other club president with taunts
and jibes.
The fans ate it up and paid and
paid. The league was suffering its
worst financial year, but Col Joe
packed them in and explained to the
league that folks might count pennies
in tough years. but they would spend
quarters to see a good show
The close Of the season was perhaps
the most dramatic in the leagues his
tory. Harry Kelly of Memphis pitched
and won two double headers in
week and his fellow -clubman. George
Granger, pitched no-run. no-hit, no
man-reach- -frst-base classic the same
week. George Beck won 81 games for
the ChickasaWs and it was all fine.
But Col. Joe won the bacon.
