BOTH LEADERS GAIN STRENGTH New York, July 21.— tU.R) - Day |>y day in every way, it looks more and more like tbe Philadelphia Atli-1 letics and St. Louis Cardinals are ' going to meet again in the 1931 world series. The A’g, holding a margin of ten games over the second place Wash- , ingti n Senators, all hut have the American league pennant clinched. With only 62 games to go for both ' clubs, the Senators would have to pull a miracle to nos ' out the world i champions at the finish. St. Louis’ lead in the National league isn’t as impressive as Phila- ’ (lelphia’s margin, but with the three!, other contenders. Brooklyn, Newj ( York and Chicago, playing listless i ball, it appears as if the six and |‘ „ cne half game advantage is just | about enough to assure the Card- i '■'als of their second consecutivel flag. ihe Cards were idle yesterday | when their scheduled contest with!: Philadelphia was postpone d be- , cause of rain but a halt a game was ' added to their leadership when Brooklyn dropped a slugfest to ; Pittsburgh. 17 to 6. The Pirates ' pounded four Robin pitchers for 21: hits, while Brame had little diffi- ■ culty in getting by the second place club. New Ycrk recaptured third place' by defeating Cincinnati in ten inning, 4 to 2, while the Chicago Cubs | dropped a 6 to 3 verdict to Boston. Carl Hubbell alloWed the Reds only four hits hut they bunched three of them to tie the score at 2all in the fifth. Two singles, a sacrifice and a hit batsman allowed the Giants to win. The Cubs were responsible for their own slide back to fourth place when they turned in five errors. The Braves mixed their five hits with the Chicago miscues and bases on balls to gain the verdict. George Earnshaw turned in his i 16th triumph of the season in pitching the Athletics to a 5 to 2 victory : over Cleveland. He allowed only five hits. St. Louis made it two straight j over Washington, 6 to 4. Hebert, Browns’ rookie southpaw, received! credit for the victory although he

In practice this week the drivers showing the most speed and gaining the eyes of the rail birds were Bob Carey- Clar Corbett, and Luther Johnson. Howdy Wilcox will not have his car on the track until Sunday morning. The Shorty Caution and Wilbur Shaw nominations are tentative and both drivers will have until Sunday noon to check in. Cantlons car raced in Atlanta during the last few days and will have a fast ride to get here. Start early and avoid the rush is the admonition of President Frank Funk we built a great speedway plant here and proved it is the fastest half mile dirt track in Ihe world and have brought scores of Big League pilots here and all we need is good- weather to prove that this speedway and vicinity appreciate high class racing. We secured the International Motor contest assoeiatio nfranchise for this territory and will give the fans the best there is in dirt track racing. This meet will be a new era in auto lacing here. International officials have inspected the track and grandstand and have officially certified the drivers and cars. Time trials start at ten o'clock

i in the morning of the race and thej : .irst event at 2:15 S. S T. i' 0 — PRONE PRESSURE AID (National Safety Council) i The heavy July and August toll ' of drownings would be considerably ‘ lessened if the knowledge of prone ■ pressure resuscitation were uni- ■ versa!. Each year scores of per . sons are saved from death, but hundreds more lose their lives because . no one close at hand is familiar with proper resuscitation methods. Here is the approved method ot ; , procedure. Practice it. The knowledge may come in handy. 1. Lay patient on his stomach, me a m extended directly overhead she other bent at elbow, with face| turned outward and resting on | hand so that nose and mouth are' free for breathing. 2. Kneel straddling the patient’s! thighs witli ycur knees placed at: such a distance from the hip bones' h's wel allow you to assume a comfortable working position over til patient. Place the palms of the: hands on the small of the back with lingers resting on the ribs, the little finger just touching the lowest lib.

with thumbs and fingers in natural i position, and the tips of the fingers I just out of sight. 3. Witli arms held straight swing forward slowly so that ths weight of your body is gradually brought to bear upon the patient. The shoulder should be directly over the heel of the band at the end of the forward swing. Do not bend elbows. This operation should take about two seconds. ■ 4. Now swing backward so as to r move the pressure completely. i Then repeate the operation, reguI larly, timing it, to about twelve to ! fifteen times a minute. 5. Continue without interruption j until natural breathing is restored. Patients have betn brought back ■to consciousness after four hours’ : work. • 6. An assistant should loosen jclothing about the patient’s neck. chest and''arms as soon as resuscitation starts. 7. Keep patient warm. Do not i give any liquids whatever until paI tient is .conscious. 8. To avoid heart strain patient . should he kt pt lying down after recovery. If the doctor hasn’t arrive led upon rec very patient should be

given some stimulant such ' teaspoonful of armnati, ammonia in small g| iiss nf ' or a hot drink of tea or cuff,’ 9. The work should be mediately at nearest to where patient receives i He should not be bre-athiug is normal and h e recovered. The treatment is to be gas or electrocution cases a, as drowning. o _ Ut’.ci Around tl-.o f;- c Sun dugs ure led:-.;, ( , aS I'athelin and app light shines thr<>u"l a thcomposed of he crystals t|,', llt || the atmosphere. „ other halos, they are n l( . the refraction of the smr s ' these crystals.
