Red Ruffing Beats Tigers Detroit, July 31. -- Red Ruffing lifted the bedraggled New York Yankees out of a forgotten corner yesterday and covered the Ameri- ¢an League pennant picture with confusion by drubbing Detroit Tigers 8 to 6. It was the third straight setback for the Tigers, and put them in jeopardy of a tie with Cleveland for first place, pending the Indians' night game with Boston Red Sox. Ruffing put on a grand show for six 'innings, and even though he weakened so badly he had to be fifted in the eighth, he got credit for his tenth triumph of the season Rufus the Red pitched five-hit shut-out ball for the first six in- pings, and hit a three-run homer for the Yankee cause in the sixth. His teammates finished building him an 8-to-0 lead in the seventh, driving young Hal Newhouser from the mound, but the veteran Ruffing couldn't stand the heat, and the raging temper of the Tigers, who crowded all their runs into two in- nings, with Rudy York hitting two home runs and Pete Fox one.

REDS BOAST NAVY SOON 10 BE BEST Parades Sea Power at An-| nual Exercises--Record Output by 1942 Moscow, July 30.--Soviet Russia | celebrated National Navy Day with merine exercises and parades in the Pacific, Baltic, Black Sea, Caspian and Far-North areas while news- the Red navy will soon be second | to none in the world. The commissioner of shipbuilding, | Ivan Kossenko, declawed that by 1942 "Soviet dockyards will win one of the world's first places in annual production of tonnage." Saturday night Admiral Nikolai Kuznetzoff, commissar of navy, said Russia would add 168 wewships to her fleet this year. He urged that Russian | sea-power be stepped up to parity with the country's army and air strength. Newspaper editorials took the line that the international situa- tion cedls for strengthening the Red army and navy, as well as tighten- ing their discipline. Admiral Kuznetzoff in a speech referred to the former defence commissar, Marshal Voroshiloff, as "our immediate superior," indicat- ing that Voroshiloff as vice-chesir- man of the Council of Commissars, is co-ordinating and directing the various phases of national defence. Kuznetzoff sald the Red navy's exercises and manoeuvres this year will be carried out without inter- ruption through the winter, INDEPENDENTS TODETERMINE 1S. FLEGTION Survey Finds Roosevelt and Wilkie Dependent on 6.97, of Electors Washington, July 29.--The inde- pendent vote will determine the presidential election contest between Pranklin D. Roosevelt and Wendell L. Willkie, but it has not yet made its choice, the first of the post- national convention polls indicated Friday. The magazine Fortune reported that Willkie, Republican presidential candidate, was a substantial fayor- ite over President Roosevelt in northern, eastern, mid-western and scattered states which combine to cast a preponderance of electoral college votes. But Mr. Roosevelt won 443 per cent. of the nation-wide expression of favor in the Fortune poll -- he was high in the south -- to 40.8 per cent. of Willkie. Of the remainder eight per cent. preferred other can- didates, refused to answer or said they would not vote, and 69 per cent. were undecided. That 6.9 per cent. of indecision would be enough to win for either candidate. The President piled up big mar- gins in South Atlantic states, the | east south central and west south central areas. He tied with Willkie in the mountain states poll -and trailed in states with an aggregate electoral vote majority. Fortune reported that analysis of the poll revealed Willkie weakness among farmers and labor, and sug- gested that it might develop disas- trously for the G.O.P. ticket, but concluded thet the "I don't know" vote held the 1940 balance of 'power. A contingent of South African troops has arrived at Kenya to bol- { that Britain had erate with the United te ster British troops facing Italians in Ethiopia. TROOPS IN ICELAND SLEEP THESE CHILLY JULY NIGHTS UNDER BLANKETS, COATS Toronto, July 31.--While the boys in Canada swelter in July heat, Canadian troops on active service in Iceland go to bed with their socks on and plenty of blankets, accord- ing to a letter received by relatives of Pte. Ernest Goode. Goode"s regi- ment arrived in the stragetic North Atlantic island last month. He wrote his parents in suburban Etobicoke, describing how he and his comrades find novelty in the midnight sun and Iceland's brana of weather. When 'it rains "it really rains night and day.

The homes are few and far between. town here, about three miles away but there is nothing there anyway." The soldiers wash their clothes in hot springs that bubble out witn cold water coming up in other springs a few yards away. The Icelanders, he said, heat their houses with the water from the ho! springs and cook in them. "You should have seen the town where we landed. The houses were nestled in the mountains. They are all painted white and red, and it looks like a dream or something you reed about in a book. "It sure is hard to understand the language, but I know some of it like 'girl' or 'boy' and 'yes,' 'no.' 'thank,' and a few things like that. They are nice people, Danish, I hear. I know five or six of the boys here. I have been in their houses and they are all neat and clean. They believe in lots of chil- dren."

T0 EXPERINENT WITH 500 CROWS Zoology Professor Once Made Birds Fly North Instead of South Edmonton, July 30 -- Dr. Willlam Rowan, zoology professor at the University of Alberta who gained fame several years ago by having experimental crows fly north in the fall instead of south, is prepar- ing to conduct another experiment along similar lines. Dr. Rowan hopes to find out whether migration In birds is de- pendent upon some hormone with- in the bird. He plans to catch 500 crows, divide them into two groups, administer the same light treat- ment to one group which made his birds fly north previously, and treat the other normally. After 3 summer's treatment, the birds will pe released, probably late in November. The crow traps will be placed on the tops of fence posts in 'the Tofleld district, 40 miles southeast o here and eggs will be used as CANADA TO MAKE EVERY FIGHTING PLANE IT NEEDS Mass Production of Service Aircraft to Meet British Need, Too Ottawa, July 29.--Canada's output of warplanes will be trebled within the next 12 months, it is learned.

SHIP GUARANTEES OFLITTLE VALUE Seeking Safe Conduct -- Paper Says Hitler Would Sink Load of Angels New York, July 30 -- The New York Times urging Congress editor ially not to quibble over the question of whether safe-conduct guarantees should be required of Germany bee' fore sending United States ships to vacuate British children, put the situation succinctly today: "Adolf Hitler would sink a ship loaded with angels from heaven if he believed that a military ad=- vantage would be gained." However, The Times said Hitler probably would not sink an Ameri= can ship if the only likely result would be to infuriate a "nation which is still legally neutral," and urged Congress to leave the ques= tion of safe conduct in the hands of the president and the state de- partment. It said "some kind of understanding" probably can be reached with Germany. Both The Times and The Herald Tribune commended the foreign affairs committee of the House of Representatives for approving &0 speedily a bill under which British refugee children would be evacu- ated in United States ships.
