LISBON, June 17.-Three of the
four British cruisers sunk in Suda
Bay during the defense of Crete
were torpedoed by Mas boats-small
speedDoats of type with which the
Italians have been experimenting
for Is years.
The British admitted loss of four
cruisers in the evacuation of Crete.
One sinking, that of the York, was
definitely placed in Suda Bay, and
two others were implied to have
taken place there. In each case,
however, the British gave the i'm
preston that the sinkings were the
result of air attacks.
The Fascists have been trying to

On the decks below, I now could

ready for immediate action.
I was to learn soon what this all
meant, and to understand from
what saw how the Hood and the
Bismarck could have hit each other
in a five-minute action at sea in
the murky light of the dawn.
AS soon as it became light, and
the sun climbed to the horizon, the
crew retired, some to duties, some to
sleep. The tension lessened, except
on the watchful bridge. All seemed
to be normal once more.
What 1t Means.

By BURTON HAWKINS.

The Mats rumba tfoupe has been
bolstered by the addition of Out
fielder Roberto EStalella. who has
missed more curves than tipsy driv-
ers. but if the clubs competitive
complexion has been beautifed,
Washington fans may be excused
for failing to detect the difference.
Prexy Clark Griffith, shaking up
baseballs waste basket, has an
nounced the release of Infielder
George Archie to the ST. Louis
Browns on waivers and the purchase
of the effervescent Estalella from
Toledo of the American Association.
The slightly less than momentouS
move seems to present the Mats a

Scot. Archie was to report to the
Browns today at Boston. while Es-
talella was purchased for spring
delivery.

of a 12-4 shellacking by the Chicago

with the Cleveland Indians in a
double header here today. Dutch

to oppose Al Milnar and AL Smith

Even Hudson Peeved.
That defeat yesterday was hor-
rible affair. Even the normally
complacent Sid Hudson was irked
enough to heave his glove skyward
when First Baseman Vernon con-
tributed the Mats fourth error be-
hind him in less than two innings
and when Sid finally was yanked
he booted considerable dirt over
mates perched near the dugout steps.
At the end of three innings the
Mats were operating under a 100
deficit and Thornton Lee coasted to
his 10Th victory. restricting Wash

blasted Hudson, Walter Masterson
