LEADERS SHOW GOOD RESERVE New York. Aug. 14—<U.R) —The old baseball axiom about a main being no stronger than its resetves is strengthened bv the 1931 performances of the Philadelphia Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals. Much of the credit for the ' - cess of the two teams belongs to j reserves who were given little consideration in pre-season forecasts and both Manager Cannie Mack of the Athletics and Gabby Street of the Cardinals admit that it was the reserve players who j have made their success possible. The Athletics have had one ">r more reserves in their lineup al-, most since the season started and j at the present time three of the | eight regular positions are being! filled by reserve players.. Despite the frequent insertion of substitute players the Athletics • have acquired a huge load in tlm j American league race. Yesterday j with throe rookies- Cramer, \Yil- | liams and McNair in th l lineup j th? Athletics defeated Detroit, 5 to 2, ami increased their margin , over the second place Washington ■ Senators to 11 games. Hate Wal berg held the Tigers to four hits. St. Louis also has been forced j to use substitute frequently and:, two new men, Centerfielder Martin , and First Raseman Collins, have 1 , won regular berths. , Bottomley and Sparky Adams, who made five hits in five times j at bat, led the Cards' attack in | yesterday's 8 to 5 triumph over Brooklyn—a victory which enabled St. Louis to stretch its lead to j games. The Chicago Cuba lost the National league runner-up berth when , they lost a 4 to 3 decision lo the Philadelphia Phillies and dropped one point behind the New York Giants. New York climbed to second; place by defeating Pittsburgh, ti | to 1, in the second game of a j doubleheader after losing the first j contest. 7 to 5. | Heavy hitting by Tony Cuccin-i ello gave Cincinnati a double triumph over Boston. 17 to 3 and 4 to 2. Washington, runner-up to Piiila-I delphia in the American Leu;, te. j lout its second consecutive game j lo Chicago, 10 to 8. A six run rally in the third inning gave St. Louis a J to G triumph over the'Boston Red Sox 1 in the other American League game. Yesterday's hero — Tony Cuociaello, Cincinnati second be soman, who led the Reds to two victories j over Boston. 17 to 3 and 4 to 2.! Cuccinello equalled the modern 1 record for hits in a single game with three singles, two doubles! and a triple in six times at bat during the first game. He hit a j h <me run in the second contest | that gave Cincinnati its winning i runs. Red Sox Outfielder Chases Double Record Boston. —(l'P) —Earl Webb Bos-, ton Red Sox outfielder who seems likely to break the big league reco d for two-base kits this season, b'.'s to all angles of the field and, it is futile to attempt to guess where he'll drive the ball, according to op- j posing fielders. Webb got a break one day recent-1 ly when his hard grounder hit his j own glow. lying out in right field, and caromed off sharply from the spot where the outfielder was a- i waiting it. Tlte normal single went j .or two bases. Matters were evened tip the fol- ; lowing day when a drive that should have gone for extra liases struck j Umpire Richard Nailin and was ' held to a single. Wisconsin Adds Seats Madison. Wis. —(UP) —Contracts! for construction of 2,500 more con-1 crete seats in the University of Wisconsin football stadium have been le: by the athletic council.

Contract Was Contract To This Rallplayer Kansas City, Kan., —(UP) — A contract to play baseball is a contract to play, and doesn't give the player the right to loaf around suffering from appendiclis, according i (o Paul O'lioynick, semi-pro pitcher. Paul had a pain in his side on a j Sa unlay afternoon. IDs doctor pro- j I nounced it acute appendicitis and | , id him to go to lied, getting ready ; lor an operation the next day. But Paul was to pitch that after-] nobn. So he did. for 12 innings, and j then won the game by sliding home j on a steal. They took him to the j hospi.al on a stretcher that after-] noon.

SHIPYARDS BUSY! DESPITE IDLE BOATS IN PORT French Maritime Interests Worried Ocer Shipping Crisi ; Paris —(UP) -Although the war- | time nations of the world have more ships idle titan at any oth:r time in the past, nearly 2,000,090 I ton of additional vessels are now j j being built, it has been announced I here. French shipyards alone are con- | strutting 211,940 tons, and most | ship owners here envisage with ] apprehension the completion of I this tonnage, which is expected to i accentuate the shipping crisis becausg of keener competion. In view of competent authoriIties the present difficulties are due | to over-optimism at the end of the | war, when countries believed the j reorganization of,conditions would - i cause a boom in international j ' j trade, with consequent need of J ! large mercantile fleets. The Unit- ; ltd States, Britain and France he- i ;gan a friendly shipping race build-! ■ ing both passenger and commer-il icial vessels. The tonnage lost during the war was soon replaced, but] ■ : the building of other vessels con-1 tinned. I The world constructions for tliisj .year, however, show a reduction! over 1930. Seven countries now! iare building more than 100.000 tons j of shipping, with the United King- i dom in the lead with 550,000 tons.! then the United Stat s, 301.489 ] tons; France, 211.940 tons; Italy,] 170,658 tons; Germany, 130.651! tons, and Sweden and Holland slightly more than 100,000 tons | apiece. Denmark is building 90,-1 000 tons; Spain. 60,700, and Nor-:' way, 23,165 tons. The exact world i 6 total of construction is 1,825,9871' i tons. ! The French shipping companies ], are advocating th? formation of an j international council of ship owners which would apportion the j j markets of the world amongst the; i various companies, thus avoiding ] cut throat competition. Such a council would apparently e function on the lines of the ship- 1 s ping conference, which at pres nt 'deals mainly with passenger traf-1 fie. Each country would he given . a quota of traffic to and from cer- ( |tain other countries, this remain-', ling in force until the crisis passes. I ( No plan is indicated for the regI ulation of shipping construction. The plight oi r renen snipping is j indicated by the appeal for Government financial aid made by the Compagnie Generate Transatian tique. Other companies indicate j that unless conditions improve they also will require to turn to the Government if they are to keep the French flag flying on th? seas.

BLACK HILLS HUMMING WITH GOLD ACTIVITY h Prospectors Rework Old • Claims of Famous 1876 Rush Deadwood, S. D. —(UP)-Gold pan prospectors tiave started placer mining along Black Hills str*)ims with activity that rivals the 'famous 1876 rush. Because of the unemployment sit-! nation and the rise in valuation of] gold, many men have staked out all j available ground, and in some cases ! have instaled -elaborate equipment | with which to coax the yellow gold ] from its ■ hiding place. Rockers. \ sluice l>oxes. Long Toms and mod- j ern gold machines are a common j sight along French Creek, Potatoi, Gulch and Bear Litek.. Miners < laim that they are making good wages. Henry Raver whose ' dairy farm supplied President £oo- ] iidge wi;h milk while he was at the ] state lodge found p'aeer nyning ! more profitable than dairy farming. I Various Methods The prospectors use various methods. the favorite commonest and j and least expensive being the pick j shovel and gold pan wet hod. By this | method the miner picks loose the cocks, shovels course gravel in his | pan tai.es to the side of a running I stream and lo s the water do the J work. A modern machine is in use on j French Creek. The ore is shovelled j into an ore bin. and from the bin j into a funel where water washes the dii; into a large circular, rotati".■ . machine that ope:ates by centrifu-] sal force in much the same manner as a cream separator. The whirling ] howl is cleaned out each night and ‘ • I tie panning separates the gold j from the gravel. The gold is sent to the mint at Denver by storekeepers, who buy ] it from the prospectors or sold to I the bank. i o U. S.
