NEW BLAZE FLARES.
ON M0RRO CASTLE.
Forepeak Is Attacked by
Flames as Firemen
Board Liner.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ASBURY PARK, N. j., September
10-Following two blasts which
rocked the blazing hull of the wrecked
liner Moro Castle, local firemen to-
day succeeded in boarding the vessel
AS they did so, the flames roared
up into the hitherto untouched fore
peak section.
Five lines of hose were strung
from the Convention Hall Pier across
the 130-foot stretch of water between
the heached ship and the shore.
AS high pressure streams were
directed into the liners hold, clouds
of steam and acrid smoke billowed
over the scene.
Delayed by Explosions.
Because officials feared there might
be further explosions the firemen had
delayed boarding the ship in their
search for the cargo of cremated
bodies they expect to find.
The first of todays two blasts came
shortly after am. in the aft section.
A half hour later came terrific de-
tonation. A geyser of sparks, flaming
cinders and white smoke shot up from
the aft funnel.
The sea continued to release its dead.
The body of man, thought to have
been a victim of the disaster, came
ashore on the morning tide, and was
removed to Coast Guard headquarters
at AllenhurSt
The body Of another man was re-
ported caught in a jetty short dis
tance off shore. Coast Guardsmen
were endeavoring to reach it.
Capt. William Hall of New York ar
rived to take full charge of the wreck
as a representative of the Ward Line.
He Immediately went into conference
with Carl Bischoff, the city manager;
Police Chief Alfred N. Giles and Frank
B. Conover, correspondent for the
New York Board of Underwriters.
Meet to Decide Authority.
The purpose of the conference, as
described by Chief Giles, was "to
i ascertain who is to be allowed on
board the ship, and who is to have
authority on the premises"
| Considerable conflict has existed
between Conover and the city officials
in the matter, and the conference
was apparently a move to end the
trouble.
Throughout the night, the Moro
Castle blazed Flames were visible
through plates which had parted near
the ships bow.
Searchers did not believe they
would find more than ashes and
charred bodies on the wreck.
IF there is anybody down there in
the ship, there wouldn't be anything
left of him except some molten jew
elry." said r. w. Hodge, acting COM
mander of the Coast Guard, fifth
district.
A crowd estimated at about 10000
focked to Asbury Park yesterday to
view the hull, and thousands paid 25
cents each to get a close look from
the end of convention pier. The
money was for benefit of the ships
crew.
Three Others Found.

M number of circumstances have
Y combined to lift the Tigers to
the American League peak

salient factors contributing to their
dramatic pennant victory as well as
to their world series hopes can be
listed as speed, batting power concen-

forceful leadership of Mickey Cochrane
and the pitching skill of Schoolboy
Rowe.

WITHOUT either Cochrane or
w Rowe. it is safe to say Detroit
would have been lucky to
land a place in the first division. AS
q matter of fact, the Tigers were
picked in the preseason consensus to
finish no better than fourth, but at
that time it would have taken rare
imagination, as we'll as prophetic
vision. to have anticipated Rowe would
win "a or more games. including Is

The young giant from El Dorado,

pitchers the game has developed in
