Crippled Barkentine
May Be lowed Here
For Board Inquiry
Coast Guard Ship Pulls
Storm Buffeted Croft
Into Hampton Roods
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEWPORT NEWS. Va, Nov. &c.
Completely dismasted except for a
portion of her foremost and with
foreyards hanging by lifts, the bad
ly crippled barkentine Marsha was
towed into Hampton Roads and
anchored off Newport News in the
battle-ground Channel tonight by
the Coast Guard cutter Mendoza.
The Marsha was sighted yesterday
about 40 miles east of Cape Charles
by the steamer City of Savannah.
She was helpless, but was at anchor
when the steamer spoke her.
The City of Savannah sent a radio
message to Norfolk asking the Coast
Guard to send vessel to tow the
sailing craft to port. The Mendoza
which was off Cape May, N. j., was
ordered to proceed to the assistance
OF the MARSHA.
The Mendoza got line to the
disabled vessel this morning. High
seas and strong northeast winds
made the cutters task a difficult
one and she was able to make only
about 4 miles with her in tow.
Visibility Prevents Messages.
The Mendoza sent wireless mes
sage to Norfolk saying because of
heavy rain and poor visibility
neither she nor the Marsala could
read each others blinkers.
The Marsha had been on a
cruise with party of cadets from
the American Nautical Academy
National Training School of Mer-
chant Marine Officers of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Capt. Eugene Carlson, super.
wishing inspector of the Bureau of
Steamboat Inspection and Naviga-
ton for the Norfolk district, said
tonight he and two other members
OF a "B" board will hold a hearing
aboard the Marsha Monday morn
ing If the vessel is still in the
Hampton Roads area.
He said the hearing would be
held aboard the ship at 10 am,
and would be for the purpose OF
aScertaining the cause of the dam
age she sustained and any other
matters that came within the
jurisdiction of the board.
May Reach d. C. Today.
II the Marsha is towed up Chesa-
peake Bay to Washington tomor-
row, which was reported tonight
as a possibility, the hearing will ne
held at that place when the YES
sci arrives there.
Members of the "B" board, who
will conduct the hearing if it is
held in Virginia waters. will be Mr.
Carlson, Capt. William Story and
Capt. E L. Merrell of Washington
The Coast Guard said the master
of the vessel was Capt. G. w. Torrey
of Deer Isle. Me. and that there
were % cadets in addition to II
in the crew aboard. The Marsha
was 10 days out of New London on
Southern cruise when she was
struck by the storm late Thursday
night about II miles south of Winter
Shoals Lightship.
At 5 Am. Friday the rigging began
to part rand the vessel was rolling
heavily. The main topmast gave
way and went overheard together
with the yards and rigging. Both
anchors were let go and later all
masts except the foremost went by
the board.
None of those aboard were injured
however, and the vessel sprang no
leaks, the Coast Guard reported.

When kept well groomed, he
is handsome pet and attracts
much attention. He is not only
very affectionate, but also highly
intelligent. He has one great
drawback, however, and that is
his massive shaggy coat which
requires no end Of brushing and
combing not to mention many
necessary baths. This coat COM
pletely hides his entire form,
covering even his eyes which,
when unattended, will soon be-
come matted. Beneath the hair
on his face, is a pair of eyes
which are beautiful, intelligent
and friendly.
The origin of the breed, like
almost all of the shepherd
classes, is virtually unknown, al
though many opinions have been
advanced as to his birthright.
However, it seems to me that we
should merely accept him as a
breed which is good natured, ac-
tive and makes a splendid canine
companion. u he is properly
cared for, I feel confident that
owners may well be proud of
this type of pet.
The breed is not to be con-
fused, however, with the collie
show dog; as a matter of fact,
he bears no resemblance what
ever to this familiar type. Even
his formidable bass voice is diff
ferent from the fox-like bark Of
the collie.

2 TOP-SEEDED.
REACH.
NET SEMI-FINALS
BY Lillian RIXEY


Driving full steam ahead, the
two top-seeded players in the Dis
trict of Columbia mems tennis
championship, Barney Welsh and
Dooly Mitchell, were scheduled to
play Tony Latona and Eugh
Lynch in the semifinal round OF
singles today at Columbia Coun-
try Club.
If Barney produces his usual
speed and brilliance, which two
years ago gave him national rank
ing, Tony Latona will be elm
mated easily. The Lynch-Mitchell
contest, scheduled for S o'clock,
will be another story.
Yesterday Lynch defeated Stan
ley Robinson handily in two
straight sets, 60, 60, but Dooly
struck plenty Of trouble in his
match with Jimmy Farrin. The
young Navy lieutenant's network
in the first two sets was faultleSs
and he never missed an overhead
smash.
In the first set each player took
his serve for six straight games,
until Mitchell broke through Far
rims tricky service to make 1t
4-3. Then Farrin took Dooly's
service and his own to run the
score to 5-4. At that point he
could have won the match, but
Dooly is a slayer. With each
game running to deuceS, Mitchell
won the first set, 1913.
Doubles progressed on schedule,
with something in the nature of
grudge fight on the courts
promised for today. Following his
encounter with Mitchell, Lieu
tenant Tarrin was anxious to get
on with his doubles match against
Stanley Carr and his partner.
With the impatience of youth,
Jimmy Farrin couldn't see how
anyone could be too tired to play
another match following an
earlier doubles contest. Stanley
Carr didn't see why he had to
play a second doubles match, fol.
lowing one in which he had played
for two and a half gruelling
hours, particularly when it was
already 1880 and there was little
time left before nightfall. Mr..
Carr further intimated that he
might be too tired to play tennis,
but he was far from too tired to
settle the issue another way.
Fortunately, Mr.. Royal Doyle,
veteran tournament conductor,
was on hand to settle the ques
ton his way. Since the Farrin-
Carr doubles match was an hour
behind schedule. he tactfully post
poned it until this afternoon.

Through the almost impenetra.
BILE barrier of tight censorship
which isolates Alcatraz, this news
filtered today.
The hardened criminals who
vowed to get" Capone before he
left 1.-THE Rock" taunted him
with curses as he stumbled about
the prison yard.
BLAME FAST LIFE
1t was the fast life Capone once
led which was just catching UP
with him. Somewhere, sometime
during the days he ruled Chicago's s
underworld from behind iron
doors which protected him from
gangland bullets, an unseen enemy
stealthily crept past his machine
gunned armed killers.
They could not save Capone
from this enemy. They could not
see it. 1t took a long time to
"get" Capone. But probably long
before he was convicted and
sentenced to 10 years in Federal
prison back in 1882 for income
tax violation, that unseen enemy
was already working its way into
Carone's brain.
