RED MEANS DANGER


On the Seal which we explored,
and on the Squalus, the Christmas
tree" was a square dial constantly
showing a combination of green and
red lights as long as the ship is on
the surface and a vent in the hull
is open A red light on the dial shows
a hull opening has not been closed.
No dive must be ordered until the
whole dial shows green Each hull
opening has its own pair of lights,
red and green, and each light is
numbered SO the light will show
exactly the particular hull opening
which is open.
The question is, then, did the
christmas tree" fail to show one
valve was open at the time of the
dive, or did the officer responsible
for watching the dial fail to note
the one lone red light warning that
dive would bring disaster?
Human errors are possible, and
mechanical errors are possible" a
naval officer told us. Maybe God
only knows what happened on the
Squalus."

Since it seems clear that a valve
that remained open at the time of
the dive was to blame for the trag-
edy, a hunt for the cause is mar
rowed almost entirely to two possible
failures, one human, one mechanical.
Both center around that vital dial

BY a Staff CORRESPONDENT of The st

PHILADELPHIA, July O.
Possibility that Outfelder George
Case, the Mats only representa-
tive in the all-star game at New
York on July II, will be replaced
by one of his mates arose today
as Cases injured left knee con-
tlnued to bother him.
Pitcher Dutch Leonard, who
has beaten the Yankees three
times this season, probably will
be selected to represent Wash
ington in the event Case is I'M
able to play, although Manager
Joe Mccarthy, pilot of the Amer
lean League entry, may prefer
to choose Third Baseman Buddy
Lewis. The American League
team already is equipped with
eight pitchers.
Manager Bucky Harris of the
Mats says he will not allow Case
to play in the all-star engage
ment unless his knee permits
him to play during the current
series here with the Athletics.

Congressional, Press SoftboN
Tens to Toss Talk, Tea Aside
Tonight in Charity Tiff
A question of momentous import

A question Of momentous import
that has rocked both Houses of
Congress and kept correspondents
and editorial commentators laboring
overtime will be decided tonight at
Griffith Stadium, where picked
but not necessarily good-squads of
Congressman and newspapermen
will decide which is the better, or
vice versa, softball team. Scheduled
for $3.50 O'Clock, the fray will be
played for sweet charity, all pro-
ceeds to be donated to the National
Library for the Blind.
Rain kept both teams indoors
yesterday and was a disguised but
damp blessing to the reporters, who
feared an outdoor session would
seriously interfere with their tap
room training routine at the Press
Club. The players were undisturbed
about remarks allegedly appearing
in the Congressional Record con-
corning their alleged ability. This
morning they are in a similar frame
of mind. The task of getting on the
field may be painful and laborious
but fans may rest assured the press
team will 60 into action still abso-
lutely unWorried.
All Enjoy Caucus, Coffee.
To insure fair deal in umpiring
the congressional team has ar
ranged to import Gene Tunney for
this task. Tunney's appointment
was attacked by the press, but this
disapproval was voted down at a
caucus meeting of the solons squad.
Tunney will be assisted by Denny
Hughes, local official of several
sports. The eX-champion is to call
balls and strikes, while Hughes will
umpire the bases.
The caucus and hot coffee were
thoroughly enjoyed by all. Also
approved was a scheme whereby
each member of the press team will
be obliged to produce a birth Ger
tificate, poll tax receipt, and five
character witnesses before being
permitted to score a run. A plan
to erect barbed wire around the
plate was tabled.
Rival managers ate hearty
breakfast and had typewriter
statements for their supporters to
be issued before the zero hour.

Postwar Group
Sends British
To Golf Lead
BuIlo, Little of U. S.
Far Back in Open
At St. Andrews
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ST. ANDREWS, July 6.-The Brit
ish are we'll on their way to de-
Gliding their own golf championship
with little or no help from the
United States-and the golfng rem
aissance they have been wishing for
since the mid-20s is in full bloom.
In the field sweeping into the
second round of the tourney today
there are two Americans, Lawson
Little and Johnny Bulla, but you
must count through the names of
IS others before you find Bulla
among the IT'S. Little has neither a
neat nor gaudy 10.
New British Crop Sturdy.
The absence of single American
among the first four-Who sound
uncommonly like a law firm: Bur-
ton, Busson. Faulkner and Locke
has increased the flag waving 100
per cent
OF course it is a pretty safe bet
that if Ralph Guldahl, Sammy
Snead, Byron Nelson and Craig
Wood and few others were here
they would be up front dealing in
spades and clubs to young Bobby
Locke and his companions.
But the British renaissance has
gone far enough to proclaim to the
golfing world that British golf has
recovered from the deaths of thou
sands of promising players in 1914
1918. The Cottons, Bruens and
Lockes are of the postwar genera
ton.
Americans Fail on Greens.
No matter who comes over from
the United States the top-heavy
strength of the years from 1921-1933,
in which the Americans won II
titles in the open alone, won't be
repeated.
Where Little and Bulla really
| have looked bad here is on the
/ greens-terrain on which the Amer
leans are supposed to be at home.
/ On this the climate gets an assist.
/ The British are used to the
/ changes the weather produces in
/ the green's. Messrs. Crawley, Bruen,
Cotton, Whitcombe ct al know Just
how hard TO hit them. when for
Americans it isn't raining rain at all
but SKIES and sevens.

Deal. for Smith
OF As Proves
Jimmy Wise
Chicago Club Climbs
As Southpow Beats
Tribe; Reds Score
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

At the time Jimmy Dykes was
elevated to the managership of the
Chicago White Sox five years ago
he approached canny old Connie
Mack for advice and reputedly was
told just one thing, PLAY your
lunches, Jimmy"
It was a bunch which caused
Dykes to pick up southpaw pitch
er named Edgar Smith last May !
when Mack gave up on him after
he had won 7 and lost q in two
seasons.
The 26-year-old New Jersey left
handler has proved the sagacity of
the deal many times and yesterday
came up with a 2-hit pitching
jewel which pacified the Cleveland
Indians. 81, and lifted the White
SoX into tie for fourth place in
the American League.
Smith probably never will be-
come one of baseball's great figures
and his present record of 5 games
won including one for Philadel-
phia) and lost indicates as many
downs as ups this season.
Tenth 2-Hit Hurler.
Nevertheless, his first appearance
in Chicago uniform was a 7-hit
performance against the New York
Yankees May 8, the only time the
White Sox have defeated the world
champions this season. And three
OF the five games he has lost were
attempts to reassert his mastery
over the Yanks.
His stint yesterday made him the
tenth pitcher this season to yield no
more than two hits-Which put him
in some pretty select company.
Rollie Hemsley, who hit one of the
singles Julius Solters got the other
and Bruce Campbell, who walked
worked double steal for the Cleve-
land run. But a homer by Eric Nc
Nair in the seventh decided the
game
The defeat dropped the Indians
into a tie for fourth and raised the
idle Detroit Tigers into third in the
American League.
Williams PAGES Bosox Win.
The Boston Red Sox topped the
Philadelphia Athletics by the score
OF GA with a 14-hit attack led by
the sparkling Ted Williams, who also
put on fielding show.
The Cincinnati Reds had no trou-
BILE turning back the St. Louis Car
dinals, 60, on Bucky Walters four
hit pitching. The National League
leaders gave Walters an early lead
which he protected to good effect
except for a homer by Don Gut
teridge. 1t was Walters 18th victory.
Carl Hubbell pitched three hitless
innings in relief to take the sting
out of the Boston Bees in a smuggling
session which the Giants finally won.
III. with a four-run rally in the
ninth. 1t was HubbellS second win
of the year and his first in seven
weeks.
Dodgers Get Third in Row.
The Brooklyn Dodgers bounced on
the Phillies for their third in a row,
IL, to move into fourth place as the
Pittsburgh Pirates choked off the
Chicago Cubs, 10-1. Two errors in
the ninth inning of the latter game
kept Joe Bowman from getting a
shutout on his five-hit pitching. But
the seldom precedented feat of the
Buccaneers punching seven runs in
one inning Offset this lapse
Fred Fitzsimmons gave Brooklyn
the benefit of six-hit pitching as
the Dodgers made the most of their
IL hits and the Phillies' four errors.

brawl for first place in the Inter-

open a crucial series at Red Wing

Rochester made this series more
important by swapping the Mon

out the half game which separated
the two teams. Jersey City was idle.
While Rochester was taking its
