FINAL ROUND TODAY
The Tin Whistle champion
ship of 1940 developed into a
two man race yesterday, with
George Dunlap Jr., the club s
aee player, and James T.
Hunter, the club’s King player,
out in front of the field and
engaged in the only competi
tion remaining for the second
round which will be played to
day to complete the champion
ship.
Mr. Dunlap, who has been
4e defending champion ever
silfce 1934, scored 36-36-72 and
Mr. Hunter 38-35-73. Both play
ed on the number two course
from the white markers, sav
ing the easier number three
course for today’s round. .Mr.
Dunlap is the favorite, but Mr.
Hunter could easily upset the
calculations and win.
Practically the entire field se
lected number two for yester-'
day’s round as a breeze was
helping on the starting holes.
Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Hunter
are so far in front that as far
as the club championship is
concerned they might as well
engage in a singles and decide
the issue. But others will play
for the fun of seeing which
member can finish third.
C. B. S. Marr, who elected to
play number three yesterday,
led on that course with 38-39
17.
The opening round of the
championship was likewise a

Radio Message Gives no Details
of Attack, Which Is First Re
ported on This Side of At
lantic.
REPORTS VERIFIED
NEW YORK, March 1.—</P)—
Mackay radio reported tonight
that the British steamer South
gate had radioed it was being
attacked by a submarine at a
point somewhere near Porto
Rico. Mackay also reported that
the United States coast guard
cutter Unalga, about an hour
away from the vessel, was pro
ceeding to her assistance.
The Southgate is a vessel of
4,862 tons, built in 1926, and
out of London. The radio mes
sage gave no details of the at
tack, nor did it indicate the
ship’s situation.
This was the first submarine
attack reported on this side of
the Atlantic. On several occa
sions, however, foreign under
sea craft have been sighted off
the ' American coast. Mackay
picked up the message at 6:09
p. m., E. S. T. The point given
by the Southgate in its mes
sage would place the vessel
about 300 miles north of Po^to
Rico, and approximately 1000
miles southeast of Miami, Fla.
NEW YORK—Marine sources
disclosed Friday night that
British men of war for days
had been searching Central and
South American waters for a
squadron of at least four Ger
man submarines believed to be
operating in those, areas. The
first tangible evidence that subs
actually were in American wa
ters came Friday with the re
port of the British steamer
Southgate, which radioed it was
under attack. *
A number of German vessels
have been operating mysterious
ly in and out of a Mexican port
for some weeks, and rumors
have been current that they
might have been making ren
dezvous with subs for refueling
purposes.
GERMAN SHIP BURNS
ARUBA, Dutch West Indies—
The German freighter Troja,
2390 tons, which sailed from
this port, was intercepted by a
British cruiser and was burn
ing off ’ Aruba tonight. The
crew of the Nazi vessel attempt- \
ing to reach home through the
British blockade apparently
fired their ship rather than sub
mit to the British warship.

MOSCOW—(Saturday) — The
