Shark Fin Soup Demand
 Sign Slump on Wane

Boston (UP)-One indication of a receding depression Is a renewed demand for shark fin soup In Bos- tons Chinatown.
 . The delight of Oriental epicures, this soup has for sometime been virtually forbidden dish, be. cause, properly made, 1t costs more than a full course American dinner. and Chinese feeling the pinch of hard times had to satisfy themselves with birds nest, or something equally economical.
 Reputedly the prize shark fin soup maker of Boston is the vet eran chef. Jim Eng. Shark fins. cured by an expert, are boiled 10 hours. A grass-like substance is the result. To this is added chick en, or lobster. More hours of boil ing other ingredients are added, and your shark fin soup is ready to serve.

ings for 25 centuries have influ- enced the entire philosophical thought of China.
 The descendants of Confucius trace their lineage back only to the sage, but Chinese scholars long have been attempting to cs- tablish the ancestry of Confucius himself. Many of the followers of Confucius trace his ancestry back to the semi-mythical Yellow Elm peror who ruled in 2700 D. C.
 Virtually every generation or the descendants of Confuclus hos produced m 'illustrious parsonage. The long line hes proud heritage of eminent scholars. warriors and politicians.
 Until 300 years after his death Confucius was not officially recog- nized, but since his rcdiscovery under the Han Dynasty his mem- ory has been reversd and his de- scendants have been honored and ennobled. Tn 979 AID. posthumous honors were conferred on all 4 generations of descendants and in 1233 A. D. the direct male repre- sentative was honored with the title of Widely Holy Duke.

BENCH RUTH
BY REQUEST
BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. Is. - The be-
lief that Babe Ruth is playing his
last season as a regular in the New
YORK Yankees lineup gained
strength today while the big fellow
was warming the bench for the
second time this season because of
batting slump.
Because of his large salary. his
80 years, his dwindling batting av-
erage and his diminishing area of
coverage in the outfield, Ruth prob
ably would be one of the first to
be affected by the shake up which
is virtually certain to hit the Yanks
if they fail to retain the American
League pennant.
On the basis of present stand
ings, the Yanks have good chance
10 finish second. Even if the Yanks
win the pennant, there may be
many changes during the off-sea-
son.
The Babe was not benched yes
terday by Manager Joe Mccarthy,
as was the case at Detroit on June
25. Ruth requested Mccarthy TO
let him rest for couple OF
days and try to snap out OF his
slump. In his last 80 times at bat
III regulation games, the Babe
connected for only seven hits.
With Ruth on the bench, the
Yanks beat the st. Louis Browns,
o to 5, thereby keeping pace with
the Washington Senators, who still
enjoy a five and a half game lead
over the Yanks.
Washington opened its western
invasion with 5 to win over
Chicago, as Alvin Crowder regis
tered his 10Th victory OF the sea-
son. holding the White Sox to nine
scattered hits.
Cleveland shared fourth place
with Detroit when beaten, 8 to 7,
by the Philadelphia Athletics as
Lefty Grove out-pitched Yves Fer
rell.
Detroit bowed to Boston, to 3.
The Red Sox rallied for four runs
IN the last two innings.
