Names English As
 Universal Language

Stockholm, Jan. 2S.-Eng1ish would undoubtedly be the most suitable as a world language, in the opinion of Professor Carney, of Louvain Uni versity, Belgium. He made this state ment in the form of a reply to the question addressed by the Northern Peace Society to prominent Hnguists in various countries as to which language would be best adapted to universal use. After declaring in fla vor of English, M. Carnoy wrote:
 ''The German and French 1an- Suages have lost their place through the war. The English language Is 9 hospitabIe one, being kind of com promise between the Latin and Ger manic tongues; also it is simple and is spoken by most progressive na- ttonS of the world, and has one of the most beautiful hteratures of modern times"

Their triple heads once supported the golden tripod on which Pythia sat in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi to de- liver her oracu1ar interpretations of the gods revealings This famous woman was called the Pythia, for it was Apollo who slew the Python, or dragon beneath the sacred Mount of Parnassus, which towers above Del phi.

the free-for-all pace called of be-
cause several of the entries we're
unable to start, only three races
are on today's Grand Circuit pro-

CRISIS IN RACE NOW.

The Sox are scheduled to play
only eight more games. II they
win six and lose two they will have
won 81 and lost 81. All that Is
necessary for Cleveland to tie
them would be to win six OF her
II remaining games. The Indians
have won seven straight games and
the Sox six. Both clubs are trav-
cling at championship speed. but
one of them must crack tomorrow.
Gleason's men arrived this morn
ing. Gleason told them to take a
good days rest, retire early this
evening and be in fit condition for
the first game of the series. When
one walks through the hotel lob
bies he il reminded Of a worlds
SERIES Many baseball men OF i'm
portance are here. Barney Oldfield,
who still insists he and Frank
Chance are in the market for the
Chicago Cubs, entertained the Chi
cago newspaper men last night.
Barney is a great admirer of Co
miskey and Gleason. but admits he
is pulling for a Cleveland victory.
Oldfield lives In Cleveland and can
not be blamed for his line Of con-
versation.
The local club officials are con-
fident of a Cleveland victory. So
confident are they reservations for
the worlds series games already
have been made. And every seat
has been sold.
Fans Pulling for iris.
Cleveland has never had a
worlds series. The closest 1t came
to winning a pennant was In 1908.
when 1t lost out by half game.
Fans here are literally mad to have
Speakers splendid team annex the
1920 championship.
Speaker said last night that Jim
Bagby will hurl the opening game
for the Tribe. Bagby has had a re-
markable season. He leads both
American and National league
pitchers in games won.
Little Dick Kerr will go to the
slab for the White Sox. And Dick
believes he Is the fellow to check
the Tribe. He has been q wonder
full little hurler Of late, and il his
mates continue to hit the pill as
they did in the last six games play

Sox Made or Broke.
The Sox are confident. They
came In this morning with a tight
ing spirit. The Gleason team has
been known to win nine and ten
games in . row. II they can do It
again, the new American league
bunting will float over Comiskey
park. II they slump here they are
through.
One Of the most encouraging
things to Manager Gleason in re-

feating Boston yesterday while New

the season with the Chicago Cubs.
Cincinnati was eliminated from

games to Pittsburgh. The Reds
have 10 more games to play. and II
they win all of them and brooklyn
loses the remaining six games on
their schedules the 1919 champions
still would be one and One.half
games behind the Superbas.
The race between Brooklyn and
New York has resolved into this:
Brooklyn, with a lead Of five games
over the Giants, has six more
games to play, one with Boston and
five with New York. The Giants
have eight more games to play, two
with Boston, one with Philadelphia
and five with Brooklyn. To win
the pennant Brooklyn needs only
one victory over the Giants and the
final game Of the season with Bos-
ton on Oct, 3. or to win two OF the
five games with the Giants. In
either case It would be impossible
for McGraw's men to tie Manager
