10 0.N.SO.-Hurricane winds have
struck the vicinity of Oregon In

according to reports received here
early today.
Virtually all residents at Nag

that water dashed about the foun-

has been no loss of life in the

STORM SEEN
8 DAYS AGO

Weather Bureau experts have
been watching the current hurri
cane since September 10, it was
revealed last night.
The forecaster's staff, in charge
Of C. L. Mitchell, has been on duty
for practically "a hours advising
ships at sea and coast patrol sta.
tons of the path of the raging
hurricane. For the first time in the
history of the bureau, outsiders
were permitted to watch the ex
perts at their work during the
course of a major disturbance.
Ships at sea report by radio
twice daily to the Weather Bureau
it was revealed last night, giving
direction and velocity of the wind
and the barometric pressure at
their locations.
They report four times daily
when they are in tropical hurrl
canes, however, and each item d
information from reports OF
meteorologists is plotted on the
bureau charts and maps.
At the first indication of hurri
cane developments, the Weather
Bureau radios its stations Of the
disturbance and its course. This
information is relayed to the pub
lie through the newspapers and
various other agencies.
First news of the present hurri
cane was radioed to the Weather
Bureau by a small south Atlantic
steamer cruising on the edge OF
the Caribbean Sea. It was only
small blow then, but other nearby
disturbances revealed the max
ings" of a major hurricane.

Before Coast Guardsmen could

had been completed evacuated be-
fore the storm and that no one
remained in that town today.
Ten women and children were
rescued by Coast Guardsmen from
their homes in Princess Anne, Va.
The guardsmen battled heavy seas
in an open boat to reach the ma
rooned group and remove them to
safety. The, Coast Guard station
at Princess Anne was flooded
by the house-high waves that
pounded the citys waterfront.

Baltimore, Richmond and other
nearby cities were Cancelled this
morning.
Three CCC camps were reported
abandoned at Manteo, N. c., and
400 civilians who had been housed
in them were transferred to the
mainland.
A section of the boardwalk at
Atlantic Beach, N. c., was de-
stroyed and reports of property
damage in the two CarolinaS pre-
coded by several hours the strike
of the storm on the coast.
Fear was expressed at the Hamp-
ton Roads Maritime Exchange that
four ships which left Norfolk yes
terday might be caught in the
storm. They were the West Texas,
bound for Houston; the Whipple,
headed for Cuba; the British ship
Ashworth, en- route to Brazil, and
the German vessel Karfanger,
headed for New orleans.

Cape Lookout, N. c.. recorded a

The Red Cross dispatched
numerous relief workers to stra-

in Virginia to be ready to give
assistance.
Meanwhile residents of the
towns in the probable path Of the
tempest have had over "a hours

for safer places after securely
barricading the doors and win

not of necessity follow that Bluege
would have fielded it successfully.
There is another fact to be con-
sdered in scoring baseball. If rec
ords are worth the paper they're
written on, and there are times
when this writer rises to contend
that they are not, they should be
guarded zealously by those in
whose hands responsibility of de-
claring them is vested by league
presidents. Suppose, for the sake
of argument, that the official
scorer in this case had changed
his decision at the close of the
game. Would his change in opinion
have added one iota to the true
value of Newsom's performance?
Ehmke Was Sufferer
The pitcher who suffered most
by refusal of an Official scorer
to be influenced by popular clamor
was Howard Ehmke. In 1928,
Ehmke, then with the Boston Red
Sox, pitched a hitlesS game against
the Philadelphia Athletics. Four
days later he pitched against the
New York Yankees in New York.
Howard ShankS was playing
third base for Boston, and Whitley
Witt, center fielder of the New
York team, hit a ball down the
third-base line in the first inning:
The grounder took a bad hop and
struck Shanks in the chest. Witt
beat the throw by inches and the
scorer, Fred G. Lieb, a great stu
dent of baseball, ruled hit. Not
another Yankee of a team that in
Guided such stars as Bob Meusel,
Babe Ruth, Wallie Pipp, Erin
Ward, Wallie Schang and others
came close to getting on base.
Lieb held forth against the argu-
mentS of well-meaning Sentl-
mentalists and he was right. Yet
there were reasons why Shanks
could have been charged with a
misplay. But Ehmke's perform
ance of allowing one hit in 18 in
nings stands as tops in all time,
and it is a real record, a glorious
achievement. just as Newsom'S
game yesterday was glorious per
Torrance.
Incidentally, NewSom lost 1412
pounds pitching that game.

The very editions which the
