F. c. c. Choirmon Says
Tracing Of Call to Be
Exceedingly Difficult

The source of a false sos report
ing that the United States destroyer
Barry had been struck by German
submarine was sought by Govern
ment investigators today.
Two hours of anxiety over the
false distress message were ended
yesterday afternoon when the Navy
Department announced it had COM
municated directly with the Barry
land she is not in distress-she is
peacefully at anchor"
Authenticity of the sos was
suspected almost as soon as it was
picked up by Mackay Radio because
1t was sent on the short-wave band
Of SIS meters instead of the Barry S
wave-length of 500 meters.
1T apparently was some screwball
attempting to make trouble" a Mac
kay official said.
The false message, mentioning the
Barry by name but not signed with
its call letters, reported:
Sinking slowly, hit by German
submarine; water in hold; can last
three hours" It gave a position
400 miles off the coast of Spain"
The Navy declined to disclose po-
sition of the destroyer after estab-

powerful Teamsters' Union of the
American Federation of Labor, who
is the latest addition to the
White House secretariat, is to be
the administrations Tabor trouble
shooter" but will not take Office
until after the Democratic National
Convention, he said today.
Meeting the President for the
first time since his appointment was
announced Mr.. Tobin explained
that he was going to the Chicago
convention as a delegate at large
from Indiana and for that reason
had asked the President to hold up
the appointment until afterward.
Mr.. Roosevelt agreed, he said.

Il don't want to go to the con-
vention tagged as representative

standing that Il was for Roosevelt

he had talked over this point with
Paul V. McNutt, presidential
aspirant, and Frank McHale, Mr..

Explains Duties.
AS for his duties at the White
House, Mr.. Tobin said the President
had in mind having him "straighten
out any misunderstanding that
might arise between labor and the
Government in carrying out the de-
fense program" and to serve in the
capacity of conciliator also if any
differences" arose between the
divisions in the labor movement" in
carrying out the defense program,
The latter reference was to the split

Red Cross Matches
Bring Bobby Jones
Out Of Retirement
Will Play in Lido, N. Y,
Saturday and in
Brookline Sunday

Robert T. Jones, jr., one-time
world king of golf, will come out
of retirement this week to play in
two matches for the Red Cross.
For 10 years Bobby's lone tourna-
ment appearance has been in the
Masters at Augusta.
Bobby will play at Lido, N. Y,
July 13 in a match with Horton
Smith, Jimmy Thomson and Charlie
Mayo, under Professional Golfers
Association auspices. The next day
he will play at Brookline, Mass,
with Fred Wright against Francis
Ouimet and Jesse Guilford.
He is also scheduled to appear in
match with Ed Dudley at Phila-
de2phia in September.
That makes quite stretch of
Red Cross matches for Jones. At
the age of l6 the youngster Jones
played in 1918 with Perry Adair of
Atlanta in series for the Red
Cross. Bobby then was too young
to shoulder a Springfield.
Now at the age of 38 he's at it
again and will pull thousands of
spectators, for to the modern golf
world Bobby is almost legendary
figure. Few of the galleryites of
today have seen the smooth swing
and that fine putting touch.
Next week Walter Hagens Ryder
Cup team will play a team picked
by Gene Sarazen at Detroit in a
match which should do all right for
the Red Cross.
Walter is out with a challenge to
Gene to play a 36-hole singles
match. But Walter should know
better. The way Sarazen is playing
now it would be walk-in for Gene.
Walter is 48 and Gene is 38. Hagen
will do better directing his team
from the side lines.
Locally the Red Cross matches
are over. That big one at Indian
Spring was topnotch. But where
were Babe Ruth and Dick Metz?
The bulky Babe was supposed to be
in town, but he never showed at
Indian Spring. Metz did not ap-

the last on which two large islands
and 500 miles of hitherto unknown
coastline were found.
