The fioundering Mats currently
are seeking aid in the form of a
Loane-Outfielder Bob Loane-who
will be handed a center field job and
instructed to cling to it. Washing
tons newest recruit again rear
ranges an outfield whose chief
charm lies in the fact it has been
remodeled frequently.
Loane, imported from the Mats
Springfield, Mass, farm, was ex-
pected to report to Manager Bucky
Harris late today and launch his
bid for a regular berth tomorrow
There was slim possibility of the
rookie arriving in time to perform
IN today's opener of a three-game
series with Cleveland.
George Case, adjudged incom-
petent as center fielder and left
fielder due largely to weak throw
ing arm, will be shifted to right
pending microscopic scrutiny of
Loane, who thumped at .331 pace
with Springfield.
The reported standard equipment
of Loane includes a crack arm, fleet
ness afoot and batting poWer-at
least in the Eastern League. Loane
batted 32l last year in performing
for Durham of the Piedmont League
and continued to click this season
in league of higher classification.
Mats Need Right hand Hitter.
If Loane makes the grade Harris
will give way to considerable glee,
for Bob is right-handed hitter
and the Mats suffer an acute need
for swingers of that type. Hitters of
any description, though, now would
impress the Washington pilot, for the
Mats have been restricted to six and
five hits, respectively, in losing their
last two engagements.
While Harris eagerly awaited
Loane's arrival and inspection he
wasn't overly optimistic concerning
his proWess. Bucky merely is
hoping, for he has viewed too many
other rockies with fine minor
league credentials fail to create a
stir with the Mats this year.
In order to obtain Loane the Mats
shipped Outfielder Johnny Welaj to
Springfield. President Clark Griffith
sent the Polish lad away with a
smile after a lengthy confab in
which Griff emphasized Welaj need

Navy 10 Make Changes
In 36 Destroyers 10
Improve Stability
Military Effectiveness
Will Not Be Lessened,
Officials Assert

Setting at rest speculation about
the alleged top-heaviness of its new
1,5O0-ton destroyers, the Navy De-
partment disclosed yesterday that
changes are being made in SO YES
sells to improve their stability. How
ever, it was emphasized that the
new destroyers, even without any
change at all, have a greater sta
bility than old vessels Of this type.
The total net cost of the changes
in design and construction was esti-
mated at $230.884.
The changes will be made, it was
said, without lessening the military
effectiveness of the destroyers.
There will be no reduction in their
armament or speed.
Recently Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan wrote Acting
Secretary of the Navy Edison inquir-
ing about reports of top-heaviness
in some of the destroyers. In reply
Mr.. Edison explained that defects
were of a minor nature and were
being corrected. At the time only
IL destroyers were mentioned. Navy
officials said yesterday, however,
that alterations would be incor-
porated in "a other vessels on which
work has just started.
On some of the vessels, a Navy
spokesman said, the Navy actually
will save money, thus partly Offset
ting the cost of altering some Of the
destroyers already completed.
Six destroyers have been COM
pleted and the total cost of alter
ing them was estimated at $251, 1,046
Changes on six destroyers practi-
cally completed will cost $213,246;
two will cost only $2.736; two others
$1O,500, and four others $6,456. Saw
ings on the others will range from
$4,732 to $12,218 per vessel. Changes
on the first IL, it was announced,
