it was said, has been reached. This
construction Is limited by the fact
that as many vessels are now under
construction or under contract as
engines can be provided at this time.
One of the first moves OF the Mari
time Commission, 1t was learned,
before any provision is made for the
construction of more hulls will be to
let contracts for the construction
of more plants to turn out the en-
gines which are being placed In the
Liberty" type.
A general idea of how the steel
supply shortage has slowed the con-
structioE may be obtained from the
fact that there Is now a backlog of
undelivered steel for the ships total
ing 10000 tons. developed during
the past year. On the basis Of 2,500.
tons of steel needed for each Liberty !
ship. 1t was pointed out, this repre-
sents fraction over 81 vessels.
However, officials believe, the back
log at least Is not increasing nov.
This curve was flattened by cutting
down the size OF the plates which
were originally designed for the
ships. so that additional mills could
turn them out.

Brooklyn Club BIomes
Lock Of Gurden Dates
For Its Suspension
By the Associated Press.

TORONTO, Sept. 2e.-Given a
green light" by the Canadian and
United States Governments, the Ma
tional Hockey League plans to op-
crate in the 1942-43 season minus
players of military age and minus
the Brooklyn Americans.
The two are linked together, al
though Manager Mervyn (Red) Dut-
ton Of the Americans insisted that
his club had been scuttled" by Mad
ison Square Garden.
When the Canadian government
granted permission 10 days ago for
international games this winter, 1t
was with the understanding that no
players would be used who were liza
BILE to military service. The Ameri-
cans, hardest-hit by enlistments of
any MIL club, had only four
players left who were eligible and
one OF them, Pat Egan, already had
indicated that he would not leave
his job in West Coast shipyard.
There was no question about the
decision being unanimous" League
President Frank Calder explained
yesterday after the Board OF Gov
ernors had voted to suspend the
Brooklyn franchise for one year.
Dutton, however. had another
version: Were out because Madi-
son Square Garden forced us out.
You can't keep franchise with no
ice to play on"
Dutton said he had not been ad-
vised until September 16. the day
after hockey had received the go
ahead" signal, that no dates were
available at the Garden for the
Americans this season. II he had
received sufficient notice. he said,
he would have moved into Buffalo,
where Eddie Shore recently took
his homeless Springfield American
League club.
Under their agreement with the
Garden the Americans had until
August IS to take up" the dates
allotted to them, but at that time
Garden officials indicated they
would not attempt to fill the dates
until the uncertainty surrounding
hockey operations had been cleared
up.
The six remaining teams will play
Is home games each during the
1942-43 season and the Stanley Cup
playoffs next spring will be limited

Yanks Beaten Only Hard Way.
There is only one way the Cards
can defeat the proud American

lative pitching, tight fielding and
timely hitting. The Yankees can
be beaten, of course, but only the
hard way.
Study of the two clubs has shown
to the satisfaction of this writer,
at least-that the Yankees have a
far more explosive outfield than
the Cardinals and a better infield,
with Joe Gordon an absolute stand
out at second base. In Gordon and
Phil Rizzuto they possess the best
double-play combination In base
ball.
Pitching undoubtedly is the Card
inals' strong point and if Mort
