T ooKING down from his plane
- one August afternoon back ir
1929 as the ship skirted south OF
Great Bear lake, deep in the hear,
of the Canadian northland, pros
pector Gilbert Labine spotted
strange outcroppingS Of stained
rock. He decided then to return
later for investigation.
And he did. The next spring, In
company with E. c. st. Paul, an
old-timer Of the Ontario gold and
silver camps, Labine moved into
the wilderness again by chartered
plane and landed. For weeks the
two hauled their heavily loaded
sled over the melting, snow
covered lake, searching the shore
line for the outcroppings. Finally,
st. Paul, affected by the intense
glare of the sun on the ice, went
snow blind and Labine was forced
10 carry on alone.
But he was rewarded. Round
ing the end Of a small island he
found his outcroppings! Close
examination showed well defined
vein of pitchblende, one of the
source minerals of radium. Around
the point he found another out
cropping, this one also heavily
shot with silver.
And today this spot, since
named Labine Point, has devel-
oped into possibly the richest
Snown source of radium-bearing
minerals in the world. Scene OF
the discovery is shown on a Ca
ladian map stamp Of 1927.

Body Turns Away From the Ball in Backswing to
 Club Green Light

Spectators said that Jones' shot of the 17th tee bounded into a parallel water hazard. He was al- lowed to drop on the fairway with a one-stroke penalty. Were he com- pelled to drop the ball in the vcin- ity of the hazard it is doubtful that he would have come out in two.
 The body turns away from the ball in the backswing to allow the hands to take the club back freely, and turns back to the ball, to allow the hands and arms to swing the club down. The body must adjust itself to the action of the hands and arms so that it will be help instead of hindrance.
 Players who seem to be exerting plenty of force with little result have one part of the swing work ing against another. Their bodies may be blocking the action of the hands in the backswing in not turn ing back from the ball.
 On the other hand, their bodies may be stopping the progress of the swing if 1t is not turned back to the ball and is in the proper posi- ton to allow the hands and arms to swing past.

 "Chief" Bender of the World Champion Athletics, and Jim Scott of Hugh Duffys White Sox, put on O wonderful hurling performance, neither permitting their opponents to cross the plate for twelve frames.
 Each team succeeded in scoring once in the thirteenth, and after Chicago had failed to break the deadlock in their half of the four teenth, Philadelphia finally romped away with the verdict in their half, 2 to 1, Murphy scoring the deciding run from third on Thomas's hard smash of Scott's glove. Murphy had reached third on McInnis' sacrifice and Barry's out after opening with a hit.
 Scott pitched the entire game, while Connie Mack removed Ben der in the thirteenth to permit Topsy Hartsel to bat for him, which proved a smart move. Danforth pitched the last inning.
 John Collins triple of Bender in the thirteenth, followed by Tanne- hills out, scored Shano with the first run of the game. The Athletics came right back and knotted the score on Briscoe Lords three-bag- ger, scoring Hartsel, who had walked.

BOSTON RED SOx NEED AZ GAMES
 TO CATCH TANKS
Have Won II Straight But Yanks Are 9 Games Up;
 DiMaggio's Hit Wins
By GEORGE KIRKsEY United Prescs Staff Corresp0ndentl

(Umteu FFeScS Ctah OOtkeeROnoSMv
 New York, Au.. 7-(UP)-The Boston Red Sox reached for their l1th straight victory and the major leagues longet winning streak to- day. They play the Chicago White Sox again at Fenway park.
 When thy defeated Chicago yes- terday for 10 in @ row the Bean- towner matched the previous high made by those same White Sox. If Boston could continue to play per- feet ball-as they have since July 27-they might catch the New York Yankees by the end of the season, but otherwie the outlook for MT. Yawkeys boys is not very bright.
 For with all their winning streak, the Red Sox have gained only two game on the pace-setters, and the Yankees are still leading by nine games. Figuring both teams on the basi of play in their last 10 games, Boston will have to win their next 45 straight games to catch the world champions.
 Pinky Higgins two home runs drove in Boston first four tallies and all they needed to win, as the Red Sox handed Chicago its sixth straight defeat yesterday, 7-3. Jack Wilson gave up Il hits to the pale hose, but was stingy with them in the pinches.
 The Yankees held their own, and that'es plenty, by besting the Cleve- land Indians, 7-6, in 10 innings for their sixth straight victory. Bob Teller held the New Workers well in hand for eight innings and went into the ninth with Q 5-2 lead, but Rolfe's triple drove in Q run, and Lou Gehrig then connected with one of Bob's fast ones and drove 1t into the bleachers to tie the score.
 Troksy put Teller back ahead with his second homer of the game in the 10th, but after Hoag had opened the Yank' half with a single Bob took shower and Heving resumed. Saltzgaver hit Q pinch-single, then Joe Dimaggio doubled, his only hit of the day, driving in the tying and winning runs. Teller added up 12 strikeouts-futilely.
 The Detroit Tigers buried the Washington Senators under a i6- hit avalanche to win, 10-3, in the only other American league game played.
 The St. Louis Philadelphia con. test was postponed and will be played in . double-header today.
 Chicago boosted its National league lead to 5h games by licking the Boston Bees twice. The Cubs hammered four pitchers for ls hits to win hte first, 12-6. then took the nightcapp 6-2 behind the five hit pitching of Parmelee. It in- creased their margin a half game as the runnerup New York Giants put on a four run scoring burst in the eighth to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-3, and give Carl Hub bell his 18th win of the year.
 After spotting the Philadelphia Phillies seven runs, the St. Louis Cards came back to tie the score and finally win 10-7 with a three run rally in the sixth. Lon Warneke was solved for eight hits in scoring his 18th victory. In night game at Cincinnati, the Reds nosed out the Brooklyn Dodgers, 3-1, behind Ray Peaches) Davis four-hit hurl- ing.

CITY LEACUERS
 ITO SEEK SECOND PLACE FINISH
Tribunes Oppose Thomas Club BrOOklyns and
 Recs Finished

With the, 1897 City Amateur League championship decided in favor of the North End Thomas club, there Is, however, an inter- esting game to be played tomorrow afternoon at 1880 o'clock, at which time the Sacred Hearts and Wash ington Hills will have 1t out on the No. diamond ct Hamilton Park to decide the runner-up team to the champs, with the second place win- ner's share of the seasons gate re- ceipts also a prime motive for a slam-bang game.
 Ready To Go
 Both teams have been keeping on edge with exhibition games and workouts during the week which prompts the belief that the fans will see some real action from the first inning on and Q nifty pitching due featuring Bob Grady of the Hills and Walter Malins of the Hearts, the latter having not been beaten in six starts and pitching @ perfect 1000 ct this writing. Some heavy hitting should also be on tap, with Fill runner-up to batting champion Liddy Jasilunas of the Thomas Club, Paul Doran in fourth place with an even 400 and Colby, Palau and Bill Flanagan ready to rap 'eln out while Fryer, Mulligan, Semetas, Casaly and Ahearn will be counted upon for @ hit or two against the Heart pitchers. All in all the game shapes up as import ant as the Tommies-H Hearts contests of last week. The Hearts are slight favorites to win as the Hills have been playing far below form in re- cent weeks.
 Tribes Vs. Tolnmies
 In the one other game of the day, the champion North End Thomas Club will take on the Tribunes and of course will be favored to win though the Tribes can gain @ tie for second place by beatirC the Tommies providing the Hearts beat the Hills as expected. Recreat ation and Brooklyn A. 0. managers agreed to wind up the season and will not play any more league games as they have finished fifth and :ixth in the league standing and are ready to call it c season.
