Play.

New York, Sept. 10.-The melan- choly spotlight which casts it's dis nal shades upon major league teams that falter in the fall, hovers today over Pittsburgh, forecasting the failure Of the last western club which threatened to prevent an all- eastern world series.
 Western hands guided the light. Cincinnati started its movement Sunday by taking a double-header from the Pirates at the moment when Brooklyn and New York were slashing at each other. Yesterday St. Louis focused it by winning two more games from McKechnie's young team by scores of to and s to 4.
 Pittsburgh lost full game to the Giants and Robins, both of whom were idle, and now rests three games behind first place. A recruit out fielder, Chick Hafey from Houston of the Southern league, accounted for all the Cardinal scores in the first game. In the second four er- TOTS gave evidence of Pirate crum- bling.
 Yankees Tighten Up.
 The veteran Yankees continuing to tighten their game in the grim strug- gle with Washington down the stretch, won their second straight battle on the final road trip with a maintaining rally that netted two runs and to victory.
 Joe Bush, who held the Red Sox to two hits on the previous day, came up in the final inning as a pinch hitter with the bases full, and doubled for the tying and winning tallies Huggins, forcing his hand for every point, called upon four reserves in the emergency and all contributed to the success of his strategy.
 Johnson, batting for Hoffman, drew a pass. Gehrig, hitting for Ward, was safe on an error, and McNally took his place on the bases Scott was safe when Harris threw wild to catch Johnson and Bush completed the rout.
 The victory advanced the world champions to within one and one. half contests of Washington which was kept idle by rain.
 Detroit Wins.
 Detroit also picked up a half game by winning from. the White Sox, to 3, when Halloway pitched effectively after Chicago drove John son from the mound. It was the seventh straight victory for Cobb's team, which pulled up to within foul and one-half contests of Washington and three of New York.
 The spurt had again brought tho team to within striking distance O first place. The Tigers enjoy thu advantage of a finish at home while the Senators and Yankees play il the west, but Cobb's cubs have onll 16 more contests to play. Washing ton has 19 and New York IS.

JURY HANGS IN RETRIAL OF
TEXAS MAN CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT ON WOMAN

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Luther Col
Inns, a colored man accused of an as
sault upon Write woman in Houston,
Texas, in 1922 imprisoned since then
and once condemned to death, obtain
ed retrial through the introduction
of new evidence gathered by the Hous-
ton Branch of the National Associat-
ion for the Advancement Of Colored
People. and as a result of the second
trial the jury disagreed and was dis
charged. 1t was learned afterwards
that eight of the jurors had stood for
acquittal and four for the imposition
of light penalty.
1t was originally charged that Cor
Inns had assaulted a white woman
while covering her companion with
revolver. The new evidence establish
ed that the white woman was of i'll fo-
pute, that Collins had been at home at
the time the assault was alleged to
have been committed, that the original
description of the assailant given by
the woman did not fit Collins that
her testimony was contradictory, and
that it would have been impossible for
the action to have taken place in 9
crowded part Of the city in which she
asserted it had occurred.
The strength of the new evidence
and of the case made by the N. A. A
C. P in behalf of Collins is shown by
the fact that only four out Of july OF
twelve Texans wanted Collins convict
ed in the second trial and those four
wanted, not the death sentence but
light penalty.
1t is expected that Collins will be re-
tried shortly.
E. o. Smith, of the Houston Branch
N. A. A. G. P, writing of the case,
says: 'The outstanding things in the
case are: 1: Negroes can make long,
hard fight. The District Attorney an
nouncedi that somebody had been 'un
usually busy in securing affidavits'
and in stirring up interest 2. The
worth of the Association has been con
cretely demonstrated. 8. History has
been made in mailing these so-called
rape lies. 4. Collins can be freed on
bond, as public sentiment believes him
innocent. The bond is $4,000"

WISDOM AGAIN CONFIRMED

The wisdom Of the attitude Of our
Secretary Of State. Mr.. Hughes, to-
ward recognition of Russia Is again
confirmed by the action Of the Bald
win ministry in England. Premier
Macdonald couldn't believe that the
Russian soviet would deceive a labor
government In Great Britain. Then
came the exposure Of the Zinovieff
letter melting English communists to
revolution. The soviet declared It a
forgery. but Macdonald was convinc-
ed OF Its genuineness. His successor,
Premier Baldwin. is of the same
mind.
Why should anyone expect any
thing different from the Third Inter-
rationale? That letter was true to
form. There cannot be found inter-
national good faith In the doctrines
Of Lenine. nor any good reason save
necessity to expect II among the fol-
lowers of those doctrines. Even IL
driven by necessity into acquiescence
with good faith the communists
would be Of the same opinion still.
1t is to be hoped that Senator Borah,
who will be a power In the new Sen
ate, has modified his views. which
were favorable to recognition of the
nominal Russian government.
