NEW HAVEN ROAD
 MAKING 'X-RAYS'
Electric DetectOr Car Ex. afnining Tracks for
 Hidden Flaws

What amounts to an x-ray pic- ture of every inch of steel rail in the entire system of the New Ha- ven railroad is being taken this month for the purpose of discover ing any internal flaws or Assures in the steel, which are invisible to the human eye. This job is slowly but steadily being done by what is known at rail detector car.
 In keeping with the best in rail- way practice, every bit of the New Haven's track system is examined every day in the year by track walkers whose eyes are trained by years of experience to search out whatever visible and external flaws may have developed in the steel. Each track walker has a specified section of rail which he must ex- anime thoroughly every day. Some- times, however, steel, like human beings, develops internal trouble which even skilled vision cannot observe or diagnose. For this req son, 1t is now the practice to ex- anime the rails internally at peril odic intervals in order that faulty sections of track may be discovered and replaced, thus insuring maxi mum safety of operation.
 By use of this car, the chance of broken rails, caused by internal fiissures in the steel is practically eliminated, for this vehicle contains apparatus which with uncanny ac- curacy seeks out and definitely marks the location of rail flaws which human vision could not pos- sibly discover. The car is the in- vention of Elmer D. Sperry, crea- tor of the gyroscope, and is rented by the New Haven from the Amer ican Railway association.
 The detector car moves over the 'irons" at a speed of about six miles an hour under it's own power furnished by a gasoline motor. Its generators, operated also by gaso- line, sends a current through three feet of track by means of rolling contacts beneath the car, causing a magnetic field to be set up in the rail-. Electric coils detect any

 Mrs Cooke today filed suit in the superior court against Gus March inski of Prospect in which dam ages of $2,000 are sought. The eviction on the part of the de- fendant is alleged to have taken place January 6, the date whom MT Grant is said to have acquired title to the premises. A judgment quieting title to the farm, includ- ing 60 acres, is asked in addition to damages.
 Several other civil actions were | filed today in court. John Kwet- kus of Thomaston asks $5,00O damages from John Boras of | Stratford for injuries suffered when the car he was driving and a machine operated by the defend-
 ant collided on the Naugatuck-
 Beacon Falls road, May 14, 1884.
 John Kwetkus, a brother of the | plaintiff. asks $500 damages for total wreckage of the car.

distortion of the magnetic field caused by defect that prevents the free flow of current. The pick up" of these coils is amn,ified go that tany variation sets the cars apparatus in motion.
 Pen points operating on a roll of paper moving at correspond ing rate of speed with the car are motivated electrically to mark on the holl the location of the defects if any are found. When a rail flaw is passed, the pens deviate from a straight line, the length of deviation denoting the serious ness of the internal Assure or other flaw. As an additional marker, white paint is automatically spray ed onto the base of the rail at the point where the magnetic field is distorted, so that a definite check is made both on rail and on the roll. Section crews follow along and replace defective sections with new rail.

PRO GOLF TOURNEY ENTRY LIST NAMES WHO'S WHO" FIELD
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Stan Correspondent

Buffalo. N. r., (UP)-The en- cry list for the National Profess slonal Golfers association chanr- pionship tournament, to be held at the Buffalo Park club July 24- 29, reads like Who's Who of Professional Golfdom.
 Heading the list is Gene Sarazen. the defending champion, who an- nounced he would return from Flu rope in time to defend his laurels.
 Sarazen was one of ten golfers, who were not required to go through the qualifying tests. The ten were members of the United States Ryder Cup team. The oth- CTS are Billie Burke, Olin Dutra, Leo Diegel, Ed Dudley, Walter Hagen, Paul Runyan, Densmore Shute, Horton Smith and Craig Wood.
 One of Ten to Win Those who claim to be in the know believe one of these ten will cop the 1884 PGA crown.
 All the leading paid-to- play links artists of the country qualified for this annual competition.
 Dutra, open champion, and Sara zen were rated as joint favorites in the pre-tourney betting. Harry Cooper, who burned up the links in winning the Western Open and who apparently is at the peak of his game, is rated as one of their most dangerous competitors.
 Other Stars
 Among the other outstanding pros who will compete are Al Wat rous. Mortie Dutra, Willie Goggin, John Manion, Willie Macfarlane, John Golden, Bill Melhorn, Charles Lacey. Al Houghton, Tom Creavy, Tommy Armour, Johnny Farrell, and Eddie Loos.
 The Park Country Club course is nthe best of condition and will give the competitors a real test. out With intricate trappings. There are only 53 sand bunkers on the course but there is a wide creek, ranging from 35 to 70 feet from bank to bank, which winds its way around the course and players oft en are called upon to play over water. Wods run through and sur round the entire course.
 Course Has Par of 72
 The course is 6,506 yards long, with par of 72.
 Golfers claim the course is a tough one to play the first few times but after acquiring the lay out knowledge necessary, par is not regarded as extremely difficult. Seventies are not uncommon even among the lesser golf lights of Buff falo and entrants in the annual New York state junior golf cham pionship tourney cracked par regu- larly.
 The danger hole" is the fifth. It is a par three of 225 yards and calls for a brassie, spon or a No. iron, to a green that is surround ed on three sides by the creek. The creek parallels the fairway.
 In past tournaments. this hole has proved to be the downfall of many tourney favorites.

But yesterday he came back. He was supposed to be in bed-a crip- pie. The Tanks were in the dol- drums. TES weeks before they had been shelled out of first place and hte Bam, rising like a ghost of his former glory, had hammered them back into the lead with one blow of his mighty bat, smashing out his 700th homer.
 They were dropping again. So the Bam heaved a sigh, hoisted his hump-shouldered hulk of the bench and waddled to the plate. He couldn't run; He could scarcely walk. But one swipe of his an- cient war club and he could have crawled home. He parked the ball the track with Coombs and Salt zgaver ahead of him. The Tanks won 8-2, and went on to take the second game 15-2, flashing out 19 hits-a performance reminiscent of their powerhouse past.
 Even Break
 Detroit, meanwhile was splitting with the Athletics, losing the first game 10, which pared a game off their lead and left the Yankees only a game behind. The Tigers came back in the nightcap, winning 17-8, with Jimmy Foxx of the Ath- letics hitting his 30th homer.
 Cleveland climbed into third place again blasting out the Boston Red Sox Az and 6-5. Dusty Cooke's boner on Carson's fly opened the way to a three-run rally in the third which won the first. Sam Rice, pinch hitting in the eighth drove home the winning run in the second.
 Washington cut St. Louis seven game string-their longest since 19S1-winning 6-4. The Browns took the series three to one.
 New York stretched it's lead to three games in the National, beat ing Cincinnati in the 11th inning 2-1, while the Cubs were losing. Lefty O'Douls single scoring Joe Moore, won the game.
 Overtime
 Chicago staged two run rally in the first of the 18th when Gab- by Hartnett hit a homer with Cuy- Ter aboard, but the Phils matched it and added one for three in their half and won 6-5.
 The St. Louis Cards closed on the Cubs only a game behind in third place. when they scored a twin killing in Boston. Joe Med~ wick's double and Davis single in the tighth won the first 5-4. Daz- zy Vance fireballed the Braves in the night cap Az.
 Brooklyn swept the series with Pittsburgh 3-2 and 1910. In the nightcap they loaded up with ten runs in the second heat and laid all the groundwork for blowing it in customary Dodger style in the ningth. The Pirates scored seven off Benge in that inning, but Emil Leonard tok his place and put an end to it.
