New Ship Ready
To Come Here
For Naval Reserve
Two Officers and Ten
Men to Form Crew
For Training Vessel

The new training ship which has
been assigned to the 1st Battalion,
District Naval Reserve, is expected
to be here in couple of weeks, word
having just been received at the
local headquarters that the over
hauling of the vessel is completed
and she is ready to be placed in
commission.
While the crew has not been Sc
lected it will have a tWo-fold duty
when going down to bring back the
vessel. Two officers and ten enlisted
men are to be selected from among
the three divisions. They will take
the training launch to Norfolk, turn
ing 1t in to the commandant of the
Norfolk Navy Yard and then en-
train for the Charleston IS. c.
Navy Yard, where they will place
the new vessel in commission and
bring her to Washington. 1t is ex-
pected that the transfer of the two
vessels will take about 10 days or
two weeks.
The local Reservists had hoped
that they would be permitted to re-
tain both vessels here, so that all
applicants could be accommodated
on week end trips, but it was said
that the Navy Department had de-
cided that it would be too eXpen-
sive to retain both vessels be-
cause of the fuel cost.
The vessel is former Coast Guard
patrol boat. 1t is twin-screW gaso-
line vessel with greater speed than
the present vessel Its greater deck
space and greater equipment will
permit Reservists to receive a greater
amount of training than is pro-
vided now and which they have
not had since the destroyer was
taken away from them as an econ
omy move of the Navy at the be-
ginning of the depression era.
The training launch made her last
trip last week in service here, with

lain, on October 10 and IL, respec-
lively, indicated the terms upon
which the western powers were re-
solved to make peace. Since then,
Hitler has remained silent, and his
silence has been interpreted to mean
that he was not ready to comply
with those terms.
The proposal to lend their good
offices, put forward by the Belgian
and Dutch sovereigns, has no prac-
tical significance if related to the
above circumstances. That pro-
posal cannot by itself create a new
situation. A new situation could
be created only if the conditions of
peace as set forth by the French
and British Premiers recommended
themselves to the acceptance of the
German Reich.
The fact that, in his Munich
speech yesterday, Hitler omitted all
reference to the step taken by the
two sovereigns may be construed
as fairly clear evidence that he does
not believe it may prove success
full, and that he will attempt te
exploit the forthcoming Franco.

-Four Top Teams
To Battle in
Coast League
BY UNITED PRESS

The four top teams of the Pacific
Coast league meet this week to do
a bit of legal throat cutting. Los
Angeles invades San Francisco. and
Seattle drops down to Sacramento
for a series that conceivably could
remove the RainierS from the
crest of the coast wave and put
the Solons into speaking distance
of the league leadership. And
while the Angels have won six of
their 10 games from the Seals so
far this season, San Francisco
seems TO have overcome its long
series of injuries and is going
strong.
Sacramento of course. still is one
of the most dangerous teams of the
league. Any club that can win
10 out of % games against even
the leagues toughest, is danger
ous. Nonetheless, Seattle has taken
eight of the IA games it has played
with the Solons this year.

land, which lost seven straight to
Seattle last week, goes to Holly

Gordon Lauded as
Yanks Return for
Long Home Stand

NEW YORK, July 25. (UP)-The
most lauded player on the Yankees
these days is Joe CF1ash) Gordon,
the sophomore who apparently has
taken over Charley Gehringer's S
throne as king of second basemen.
Back from their successful jun
ket through the west. the Yanks
settled down for a long home stay
today. and they thanked their
lucky stars that young Gordon was
on their side. Fans all through the
west marveled at his nimbleness
and cat-like ground covering More
than one player paraphrased Joe
Medwick's words, "they should
lynch Gordon for making a catch
like that" which the Cardinal ut
tered after the Yankee second
sacker made a gloved hand rob-
berry of a line drive.
With Gehringer slowing up and
becoming more and more suscep-
tible to leg injuries, Gordon is
