 FINANCIAL FLOP
Lou z.l Favorite = Ad- vance Sale $6O,O0O;
 Seats For l2O,OOO
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)

(Uniteu freSS Staft COrreSpOndent)
 Philadelphia. Sept. 14.-(UP)-A big ticket sale is expected to boost the Lou Nova Tony Galento heavy weight contenders' battle out of the financial doldrums.
 This scheduled 15-round brawl at the Municipal stadium tomorrow night is expected to be saved" by the semi-monthly payday tomorrow for thousands of state and municipal employees and by the weekly payday for greater numbers of factory, of- flee and business employees.
 For some unknown reason, this bout-which promises to be electri- flying and bloody for few rounds, at least-never commanded the fi- nancial interest expected when the match was made.
 It was learned authoritatively that the advance sale last night had not topped $60,000, causing considerable chagrin to Co-Promoters Mike Ja- cobs and Herman Taylor. Taylor, who knows Philadelphia and Penn- sylvania fight crowds, was less wor- ried than Uncle" Mike of New York.
 Taylor pointed out that 1t is an open secret throughout Pennsylvania that the municipal stadium can ac- commodate 10000 or more fans. So, they don't have to rush to the grat- ings weeks in advance to assure themselves of seats. They know they can get their pews even after the first preliminareis are on.
 Meanwhile, Nova continued to rule betting favorite at 2-1 but there was virtually no wagering.
 When they weigh in tomorrow noon, Nova expects to scale 206 pounds, four more than when he stopped Maxie Baer in II rounds Galento aims at 230, three less than when he was belted out by Louis in the fourth round.

New Yorker Had Had Much Experience Against
 Left-Handers
By HUGO HooKJAB

Irish Eddie Dolan is coming home" tonight-coming home to be appraised by some 4,000 of his fel- low townsmen who want to see if he is "all that he is cracked up to be" meaning, one of the ten best welter- weights in the country, according to the latest opinion of the National Boxing Association. For six rounds or less Dolan is contracted to show his stuff against one Bobby Cura- mings, a New York negro who gave Dick Turcotte @ whale of a fight, has met 12 southpaw sluggers with in the past year or IS months, is ring-wise, Q good puncher, shifty boxer, and to put 1t bluntly Knows what it's all about
 Skeptical
 Many Waterburians, who saw Dolan get the nod over Milo Theo- doresou, a Rumanian on the Am- bers- Armstrong card were frankly disappointed as there was more fun and fighting for the six rounds they went at it. That, however was not Dolan's fault, though he vas con- tinually off-balance and going away" but the Rumanian was clownish type of ringman, though a stiff puncher, shifted his leads from left to right every other round and wound up by kissing Dolan twice befofe the boys left the ring. To- night, 1t will not be 50 funny. as both boys are dead serious and in prime shape for their "big" chance. The winner gets shot at Johnny Mack, the New Britain standout who has been great drawing card for the past year or so. Dolan will scale about IA, Cummings 142.
 Kayo Kid
 When Tommy Ciarlo gets his hands up against Billy Satryb of Rockville there will be one point to watch and that is your watch, to- see exactly how long 1t will take Ciarlo to get his Tommy gun" to reach vital spot for a knockout of the type that f1attened state champ, Joe Polowitzer of Windsor Locks last week Thursday, Ciarlo getting of the floor to do 1t before the round ended. Satryb is no setup. either but it's doubtful if he can stand up too long against Water bury's Irony Canzoneri."
 A heavy go pits Sam Carson, Jew ish ace, against Lou Murrelli, of Naugatuck. Other bouts include: Johnny Moraz, Wolcott, vs. Charlie Backofenof, Rockville; Joe Brosseau, Waterbury, vs. Charlie Martin, Bridgeport. and Tom Collins, Wa terbury, vs. Lou Leonard, Bristol.

 Glenview, H., Sept. f4-(UP)- The shock troops moved in today 16 survivors of a wholesale slaugh- ter among favorites, champions and former charnpoins-for the third round of match play in the 43rd U. s. Amateur Golf championship.
 Eight of the big name boys were missing, champion Willie Turnesa among them, as the field swung in- to two more IS hole rounds which will cut the field to four by to- night.
 It took a lot of golf to eliminate Turnesa, former national cham- pions Johnny Goodman of Omaha and Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati, the former public links champions Pat Abbott of Pasadena, Cal, and Frank Strafaci of Long Beach, N. r., and the one time western and Brit ish amateur champion, Charley Yates of Atlanta, Ga.
 Now it's dog fight with what ever edge there is handed to Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash, who finished only @ stroke behind the leaders in the National Open, Vest ern amateur champion Harry Todd of Dallas, Tex, and George Daw- son. the 37-year-old plugger from Chicago, who whipped Turnesa 9 up. - Ward, victor over Eddie Held of Edgewater, Colo, up in 20 holes and Chris Brinke, Birmingham, Mich., also 1 up, plays Joe Thomp- son of Burlington, Ontario, in the third round and Thompson is play ing the finest golf of his career.
 Todd plays another tough compe- titor, Harry Givan of Seattle, Wash, who defeated Freddie Haas, Jr., of New Orleans to enter the third round.
 Third round pairings:
 Todd vs. Given; Ed Meister, Jr., Warrensville, O., vs. Don Schumach- CT of Dallas, Tex: Ross Somerville of London, Ont, vs. Dick Chapman of Greenwichc, Conn; Ray Pillows of Poughkeepsie, N.

LONDON, Oct. 6.--The dramatic
rescue of a disabled submarines
crew while werships and aircraft
fought off enemy planes overhead
was told in an official "eye-witness"
account given to the British press.
The submarine lay at the bottom
of the sea with her periscope blown
off by German depth charges while
the seamen held sweepstakes"
on when the next explosion would
come, the account said.
The crew was represented as pre-
pared to blow up their craft rather
than surrender to the enemy.
The account said early one morn
ing, in her allotted patrol area in
enemy waters" the submarine fixed
her position and dived.
Shortly before breakfast the de-
tonation of q depth charge quite
close to her suggested emphatical-
ly that she was in the vicinity of
enemy forces" it continued.
Her captain decided to have a
look at them through his periscope
and put his ballast pump in action
to rise to the surface). Another
depth charge promptly exploded
much closer
THE crew lay down to conserve
valuable oxygen consumed by move
ment. During the next hour they
counted six detonations as the
enemy CROPPED about in search of
them with sweep wires, electrically
operated bombs and depth charges"
The account went on to say the
submarine could do nothing but re-
main on the bottom and curing this
time the crew held sweepstakes" at
sixpence (about IL cents) throw on
when the next explosion would
come.
The account continued:
THE bombardment intensified.
For the next hour the explosions
averaged one every two minutes.
They grew gradually more distant.
Then there was lull.
About teatime the strained,
weary men in the submarine heard
a wire scraping over the after jump
ing stay - series of bumps
thudded along the hull. "
Then what they awaited hap
pened. A shattering explosion =
all lights were extinguished. There
was everywhere the crash of broken
glass and in the silence that fol-
lowed the sound of water squirting
and the hiss of air escaping from
the high-pressure system.
Portable electric lights revealed
enough of the catastrophe. One
motor and both engineers were out of
action. From half a dozen leaks in
the air system air Missed as from
punctured tire"
The air gradually grew foul, the
report said, and the first lieutenant
passed around peppermint drops
and bag of candy to his men.
Decided to Rise.
When the commander knew by
his clock that darkness had fallen,
he mustered his men and told them
that if ballast tanks held he in
tended to rise to the surface and
although his ship was as helpless
as log fight to the DEATH"
The men loaded torpedo tubes
and prepared ammunition for other
guns and "as last grim measure
they prepared demolition charge
to blow their ship to pieces rather
than let her fall into the hands of
the enemy"
Finally, when all was ready for
what they believed would be their
last fight" the crew blew the tanks
