Dashboard of Modern Bomber
Looks Like Backside of Alarm
Clock Compared to One on Sub
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. = Until
this day l had never been inside a
submarine and a one-hours visit
compelled a complete rewriting OF
all previous impressions about what
goes on in the war beneath the seas.
Impressive stories have been writ
ten about the dozens of dials and
gauges pilot of big air-bomber
has to watch. But in comparison
with a submarine, the dashboard Of
a modern bomber looks as simple as
the backside of an alarm clock. For
every dial on a plane there are 10 in
a submarine. Every two PAGES a
person must side-step an outcrop-
ping motor or a jutting dial board.
The Seal submarines are named
for sea creatures), d spanking new
1,300-ton submarine, put it at
Washington after sailing up the Po-
tomac and a few newsmen were
permitted to go into her belly. A
submarine looks like nothing so
much as a 300-foot section of a
huge metropolitan water main
pinched together neatly at the ends.
On the top-side is platform
deck, above which sticks a Ia
pered-off deck cabin and single
gun. Several hatchways, each the
size of a manhole, let person
down in. You do better in a sub
marine if you are middle height
and thin, of which this correspon-
dent is one but not the other In
side, it has the beautifully polished
intricacy of a fine watch.

fort 10 dope oul the why's Of team
actions.
In the National league the de-
Tending champion New York Giants
have stepped out into four and
one hall game lead by winning
II on. Of 20 games. Experts pre-
dicted a bad year for the Giants.
In the Ameri an league, not
Cleveland but Washington, looms
as the toughest opposition for the
Yankees. Cleveland. as usual. fold
ed in the east 10 blow a three-game
lead
Washington. on the other hand
has wen seven in row TO take
a full game lead in the American
Gennant chase.
New York's Yankees, with the
return Of Joe DiMaggio and the
establishment OF Knickerbocker at
second. has begun to climb. They
have moved from seventh place TO
second IN seven days.
Dimagio added punch and ap-
parently added the necessary spark
to start other Yankees on the road
to higher batting averag ges.
The New York Giants in The
National league. however. are the
real surprise team Of either league.
Not surprising because they are
winning. but surprising becattje
OF the way they've winning.
Last year. and as far back as
1888. the Giants played for one
run victories. This year the team
average hitting IS GO2. Twenty
three home runs have been pound
ed out ef the park. Battling base
hits have brought victories.
Apparently Bill Terry has chang
ed his strategy. And, perhaps Hor-
ace Stoneman, president of the
New York Giants. wasn't kidding
when he said We'll bat those
Yankees out OF the championship

The St. Louis Cardinals. without

And if he doesn't deliver, chances
are he will not get another chance

Cincinnati and Pittsburgh appar-
emily will battle for third place
in the National. Cincy looks the
best.
