It is too carly yet to say just how well the new players will really bat in the big league, but they show much prom isc My pitching staff is 80 per 1 cent stronger than last year While may be too close to them and have too much faith, yet the new corners have already shown me in several games played against the strongest teams in the majors that my reconstructed team has class, power and the winning spirit
 "Of the rockies, Welsh, Harris and Marriott have helped me the most and Burrus. the new first baseman, while not up to his stride yet be- lieve, will also add materially to our 1925 strength These new boys of mine are fast, they can field and they look and act as though they could hit,

|RITOLA THE BEST
 IN LONG RACES
Holds Distance Records Which Nurmi Has Not Approached
By The Associated Press.

New York. March 20.-Paavo Nurmi has some distance to travel before he can bring about Q total eclipse of Willie Ritola, his out standing rival for middle distance honors.
 A survey of the long list of rec ords established by the two phenom- enal Films since their assault upon American indoor track marks started, reveals that Ritola harbors two world records which peerless Paavo has been unable to capture despite numerous attempts.
 One is the 5.000-metre mark which Nurmi shot at but missed when illness forced him out of the match race with Ritola at the Knights of Columbus meet at Madi- son Square Garden, Tuesday night. There is no doubt that Nurmi would have taken several seconds from Ritola's mark at this distance had he been able to finish the race but his retirement left Ritoia the victor.
 Nurmi's best time for the 5000 metres is 14:44 3-5, established in the Finnish American games at Madison Square Garden, January G. in his American debut. Since that race Ritola has lowered the record three times. his best time for the distance being 14:23 1-5, made al the cathedral benefit games at Madi' son Square Garden. February "A.
 Another record which RitOla has been able to hold against his native rival is that for 2A miles. Nurmi'' best time for this distance is 13:0; made in the St. Joseph's Catholic club games In Newark, N. J., Janu ary 21 As In the 5,000-metr' event, Ritola has bettered thi' mark three times, his best time fol the distance being 1856 S-5, mad' in the Western Union games a Madison Square Garden.
 A further delve into the record of the two Films shows that in dis tanccs from one 10 two and One-hal miles, Nurmi is supreme but beyond that mark, Ritola holds sway.

(BY BILLY ENANS)


 Orlando, March 20-The Cincin- nati Reds of today arr a far much better ball club than the team looked over just one year ago. A majority of the experts in their 1924 preseason dope predicted a pcunant for Cincinnati. And then things started to happen.
 Manager Pat Moran, the popular leader of the Reds. died in this city, in the midst of the training pro gram. That was a severe blow.
 For years Jake Daubort. who has since died, had been toutcd as the successor of Pat Moran. The team potitioned the owners 10 name him manager.
 Appointment Was Surprise
 Instead Jack Hendricks, who had been enjoying great success in the minors, received the appointment. It came in the nature of surprise. Jack was stranger in strange land. Conditions made his job 6 tough one.
 The Reds didn't win q pennant. There were many plausible and , logical reasons, such as injuries to stars, failure of certain veterans 10 1 play up 10 standard and bad breaks.
 This spring many of the experts are consigning th" I}cds to the second division, yet it is practically the same team picked to win the pennant one yrar back. Sixth place is being selected as the proper spot 1 for the Reds.
 If the Reds disaproiutcd in 1924. l feel positive they will surprise the experts this year.
 Any dissatisfaction that existed a year ago is missing. The players are strong for Manager Hendricks He is thoroughly in command of the situation and highly respected by his athletes. That's fine.
 Great Mound Corps
 As l look the pitching staff of tho Reds over it strikes me as heine just about the best in the Nationa league if not the majors. No clul boasting so strong a staff should b, relegat"d to sixth place.
 Adolfo Luque, Pete DonGhue, Car Mays and Tom Shcchan are fou, sterling right-hand"rs, while Epps RiXey, Rubc Benton and Jake Ma, form trio of classy southpaws The reserve pitching is in kecpin. with that of the regulars.

GOLD is FAST DISAPPEARING
Twenty Billions a Year Production
Inadequate to Keep Up With
"Great Sink"

What becomes OF all the gold pro-
duced by the mines of the world is a
growing Importance of gold ship
ments, and the question may be an
swered as follows:
Coinage among civilized nations,
which accounts for about one-fourth
Of the production use in industrial
arts; waste q five dollar gold piece,
for example, losing TX per cent in
weight after one years use hoard
ing. by which millions of dollars are
mysteriously swallowed up annually
among primitive peoples; and loss,
as through fire, shipwreck and SINH
lar causes.
cold mining in this country has
fallen off because the industry has
Arizona state miner., 1925-03-21

found 1t hard to turn profit at post
war prices. The price of gold has
long been fixed by the government
at $20.67 an ounce. Year in, year
out, regardless Of supply and demand
it remains "pegged" at this figure.
The purchasing value Of gold,
meanwhile, varies, fluctuating with
price levels. An ounce of gold, econ
on1ists compute, purchases perhaps
only SO per cent as much now as be-
fore the war. Mine costs, in conse-
quence, could not be realized on
many lower-grade workings and many
have shut down.
Yet gold the world over continues
to come from the earth at a rate
estimated in 1923 at about $20,O00,-
100000 worth a year. Gold bullion
priced at $2,5O1, 100000 was on de-
posit last year in the vaults Of the
y. S. assay office in Wall Street,
which is regarded as the most i'm
portant clearing station in this coun-
try for monetary gold and gold used
in fine arts.
At this closely guarded crossroads
from the gold field to the bank vault
the incoming alloyed gold is melted
as much as five times in refining;
five to seven assays are made from
samples; the whole weighed and re-
weighed, checked and rechecked.
Platinum is a most valuable by
product of the refining at the assay
Office. AS much as 1900 ounces Of
it have been recovered in IL months
all velvet for the government, and
quoted from S240 to $500 an ounce,
worth from $375,O00 to $450,000.
Gold in bars was bought last year
from the assay Office by American
makers of fine art objects at month
ly average of S5,000,000, according to
one outside estimate. The director
of the mint, from such data as he
had available, calculated the gold
used in industry in the calendar year
1928 was $69,292,245, of which $40,-
013,175 was new material.
The far east and Africa are held
responsible for the disappearance of
much of the worlds gold India is
called "a great sink for the precious
metal" and in the last half century
it is estimated to have made away
with at least one and one-half billion
dollars in gold. Gold is used there
in decoration, ornaments and textiles
and boarded and buried by owners
who die, in many cases, without re-
vealing the location of their caches
This drain is put at several million
dollars annually.
China is said to be even more Of a
sponge for gold, while in Africa the
gold paid in wages to Kaffir laborers
at the mines goes with them to their
kraals and somehow never returns
it is said. Trading posts we'll in the
heart of the Dark Continent also re-
port lively demand for gold coins
of whatever currency. Native chiefs,
headsmen and even braves covet the
shining tokens to lavish upon their
women for coin necklaces and ban
giles.

LIMITS FOR HIGH
POWER ARE SHOWN
Government Radio Engineers After Investigations, Say
Experiment to Overcome Static Doesn't Pay

greater than about fifty miles from
received wave intensity is continu'
ally fluctuating, the variation from
maximum to minimum being as
great as 100 to /.
Fading Persists
Increasing the power was found
to effect no improvement in the de-
gree of fluctuation. 1t can therefore
he definitely stated that high power
is not the solution of the~fading
problem.
For still another reason. the dis
lance over which a broadcast sta
ton gives highly satisfactory, de-
pendable service is quite limited.
This is the omnipresent background
of static and all sorts of electrical
disturbance, which requires that the
radio wave have more than a certain
minimum intensity in order to as
sure reception free from interfer-
ence.
There is an area around every
broadcast station within which such
perfect reception is assured and be-
yond which it is not possible to rely
on nighttime reception free from
disturbance. This zone of really de
pendable radio service around each
broadcasting station is surprisingly
small, but it's area is approximately
proportional to the stations power.
This is found to be the prime rea-
son which makes high power even
desirable from the standpoint of i'm
proved public reception"
