room and the engineroom.
The explosion caused large
volume of water in the outside of
the ship to be blown into the air;
destroyed the bulkhead between the
fireroom and the engine room, shat
tering the Oil tank and destroying
access of stairs from the third-class
and tourist dining saloons to the
upper decks. It was impossible for
the passengers trapped in the din
ing room to escape and they were
drowned below decks.
From evidence given by quarter
master not on watch, submarine
coming tower broke surface about
800 yards on the port quarter of the
Athena. A gun or explosive signal
was fired from the coming tower
platform. If gun, it was Of small
caliber, according to one of these
men who had served for years as a
gun layer in the Royal Navy.
No Shell Is Heard.
AS the submarine was on the
weather side of the Athena the
smoke from this discharge blew
down over the Athena and a dis
tinct smell of cordite was recognized.
No witness heard a shell in the air;
no witness heard shell strike the
ship; only one such discharge was
seen. The flash was distinctly re-
ported by three witnesses; the smoke
of the discharge was seen by the
commander and many witnesses. No
splash of the projectile was seen.
The commander of the Athena
stated that it occurred to him that
the submarine might be attempting
to destroy their radio. but said that
any statement by him that this
was so was an error as he had no
evidence to this effect.
Immediately after the explosion
which sank the Athena, the officer
of the watch sounded eight short
blasts and one long blast of the
whistle and the submarine sub
merged and was not again seen.
The officer of the watch immedi-
ately closed the long arm water
tight doors which apparently pre-
vented the ship sinking for many
hours. All officers and crew and
few passengers interviewed indicat-
ed there was no panic aboard the
ship and women and children pas
sengers, as we'll as the crew and man
passengers, were calm in going to
their boat stations and in abandon
ing ship.
Some little difficulty was had in

boats as the ship primarily took a
considerable list to port, but all
boats got off without casualty. One
boat alongside the rescue ship,
Knute. Nelson, drifted aft into the
propellers and was sunk, resulting
in the loss of several of the occu-
pants.

QUICLEY LIMPS AND LAMENTS
 INACTIVE ROLE
Sports Arbiter Misses His First Seasons Work in
 Thirty=five Years
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent

Williamsburg, Kas., April 5-(UP) Ernest c. Quigley, the squire of St. Mary's" admires his prized Hampshire pigs these days and re- calls that it is the first spring in 35 years that he has been actively missing from the world of sport.
 Quigley, probably the nations busiest and most versatile sports official, came to grief in the bot tom of a huddle at college foot ball game last fall, and hobbled through the rest of the gridiron and basketball seasons with lame foot that prevented working any games
 The bald, gruff head of the Na- tional league umpiring staff said it was the first time he ever had used a cane for any purpose other than rapping the shouts of his white belted black porkers, and that he was getting good and tired of limp ing around like an old man," either at his home in St. Mary's or his farm here.
 T used to be in the training camps by now, waving that same arm that am poking pigs with, at batters who hadn't gotten their hit- ting eyes yet" he said. "Now I've got to get all my baseball news from the papers"
 He Picks Yankees
 Quigley admitted that his confine- ment on a Kansas farm necessitat- ed looking at the coming baseball season through long range tele- scope, but he still had choice. Always die-hard National league supporter, he has joined hundreds of other experts on the New York Yankee bandwagon and believes they will keep the world champion ship in the American circuit.
 "In any sport, I like the team that places premium on efficiency in it's play" he said. Lots of peo- pie think of the Yankees strictly as power team, as one which lambasts the stuffings out of the ball, but which doesn't pay much attention to other fundamentals. They forget that Joe Mccarthy is one of basebalrs greatest master minds, that he keeps his young men hustling all the time, always out to get more runs than the other

OPENING DATE
 HERE DEPENDS
 UPON WEATHER
Bark Department Receiv- ing Requests for Tennis
 Courts, Ball Diamonds

With the weather-man due to have a change of heart before many more days, Supt. of Parks James J. Curtin today announced that every- thing is in readiness at the East Mountain municipal golf course for the biggest season yet. The opening date depends upon the weather. The past winter has seen much develop ing on the fairways. The municipal greens are recognized as among the finest in New England.
 The rates for playing are the same as last year. Season tickets, now on sale at the park department office, will sell for twenty dollars; while half season privileges will cost twelve dollars. The seventy cent charge for IS holes of play and forty cents for nine will again be in effect.
 In spite of the exceptionally hot weather last summer, a total of 24,603 rounds were played. The nine hole play amounted to 10.999 play CTS: the 18 holes to 13,604. Besides the developments of the course, the club house is also being dressed up" for the coming season. Painters and carpenters have been busy the past three weeks putting things in readi- ness for the opening which may come about shortly, depending of course on the weather.
 Baseball Activity
 The announcement by Supt. Cur, tin this week regarding the baseball, softball and tennis areas has started a flood of applications for the use of various park fields. The new drain. age system at Hamilton park has been completed and workmen are now concentrating on grading op- erations. Although the work on the field has been rather slow due to the swampy area through which the pipe had to be laid, the handicaps have been overcome and the field will be ready by the first of May or possibly sooner.
 Construction of a new athletic plant on Idylwood avenue adjoin- ing the Old Brass Mill will be begun shortly. The plans cali TOT seven acres of play space including two baseball fields or four softball areas. More tennis courts will also be constructed at Hamilton park to augment the battery of seven which are at present part of the equip ment.
 Fulton Park Developments
 The baseball field at Fulton park on Cooke street has also been under going drainage operations the past two months, but this too will also be completed in time for the official opening of the baseball season around May 1st. The tennis courts at Fulton park, six in number, have been receiving preliminary attention. The new athletic field at Fulton park near the bowling green is also under construction, but will not be ready for play for some time.

fellows. That's efficiency in any sport isn't it?"
 Quigley spent a week in Kansas City at the national intercollegiate basketball tournament and conclud- ed that college basketball rapidly was rising to a position where it rivals football, principally because of efficiency.
 Cage Game More Polished
 The teams that lasted the long, est in that tournament knew how to perform well in all departments of the game. They knew how to conserve their strength for a long week of play and to have available the stamina to drive for rallies when the opportunities came. When bas- ketball players learn to cut down their lost motion and to make their efforts count for more, the game

 Quigley, who used to work as many as 25 football games, no basketball battles and the complete National league baseball schedule of 154 games in a single season, placed stress on the fact that he never seen either a boxing or wrestling match.
 'There is no efficiency TO team work in either one," he said. My pigs can put on a better show gouging each other with their shouts. Who is the heavyweight champion anyway"

FL CHICO NAMED TOP CHOICE FOR
 NARRAGANSETT
Popular Pawtucket Track Opens MOnday-Race
 Worth $5,OOO

Pawtucket, R. l., Aug. 10 - Ell Chico, unbeaten champion of the two-year-olds in 1888 looked very much like the horse to beat when Racing Secretary Bob Shelley today assigned weights for the $5,000 add ed Narragansett Handicap. William ziegler, Jr's. crack sprinter, back in his 1888 form after layof due to a foot injury sustained in the Ken- lucky Derby, will carry an impost Of 115 in Gansett's opening day feat ure. With this weight and with the capable Nick Wall to steer him, Fl Chico may justify the claims Of Trainer Matt Brady that the John P. Grier colt cannot be beaten at six furlongs. The colts recent victory in the one mile Mohican Handicap at Saratoga indicates that he IS ln rare form right now.
 Contention
 Rough Time, Yancey Christmas 5-year-old Grand Time gelding has been been knocking at the door all season and will supply te main con- tention. Rough Time, a smashing second to Be Blue in his most re- cent outing and before that a good third to fight Fox in the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct, has been as- signed 118 pounds. With Fighting Fox, 126 pounds, and Ligaroti, 118 pounds, both halted in training due to injuries. Rough Time will tote top weight in the Narragansett Handicap.
 Bill Farnsworth, six-year-old geld- ed son of Crack Brigade owned by Mrs. G. c. Winfrey, indicated re- gently at Empire City that he must be recokned with. Shelley has as- signed him 113 pounds and if Work man rides, as he usually does, Bill Farnsworth cannot be discounted.
 Be Blue, winner of the Inaugural Handicap at the Gansett Spring meet and later victor over Rough Time and Porter's Mite in the Tom lin Handicap at Rockingham has been assigned 113 pounds. Tom Heard, Jr., is high on the chances of this four-year-o daughter of Blue Larkspur. Winston Guests Drud- gery, winner of the Arlington In- augural Handicap on June 26, has been assigned 116 pounds ard off that race, in which he beat Easy Mon, Joe Schenck and Flying Lil, rates a fighting chance.
 Beach Ensemble, four-year- Blue Larkspur Ally, owned by B. A. Dario, Pawtucket sportsman, will carry the comparatively easy pack age of 106 pounds and should be factor. Clodion, winner of the Bunker Hill Handicap at Suffolk June IT in which he defeated Pag- liacci, Infidox and Bootless, will car ry 112 pounds and if the Phara- mond gelding is on his good be- havior, cannot be counted out of it. Many Stings, 107 pounds; Porter's Mite, 115, Drift Along, 103; and Ber- nard F., 115 may upset all calcu- lations and grab the pot.
