QOWH the present WOt III NHoiliPlOh Ii
In so years of National League
ball, only one club has won the cham
pionship with a percentage OF less
than 800. That was the Phlihes OF
1914. who managed to scramble over
the finish mark with percentage OF
1922. For the past two months the
leading National League club. wheth
err II has been Cincinnati or Pitts
bureh. has zigzagged between .565 and
$50. considerably below the lowest
remnant gait ever struck irr the Ma
tional.
This indicates the absence OF any
outstanding team, and is responsible
for six clubs still having a pennant
look.in in the second week in August
I have heard 1t said that this is the
easiest race to win that ever has beer
staged by the National League. II
that means the low number of per
centage points needed to win, the
statement may be true. But there Is
another angle. The National League
field is so evenly matched this year
that no club has decided advantage
There are no pushovers. as can be at
tested by the Pirates and Reds. The
Pirates find their hands full every
time they take on the Phillies. and
tough on Cincinnati this year as the
Giants.
Giants May BE Runner-Up.
Even though I looked for Pitts
burgh to do better in the East, the
pennant percentage of the Pirates
has been boosted to $50, 100 points
above ST. Louis, the club I place sec
ond this week. However, there still
is a strong chance that the Giants
will be the runner-up by October l.
Remember, they finish the season al

this week. club which has been soft
for them all year. The Reds are tot
tering around. not knowing from
which direction the next blow will
fall. I have dropped them to fourth
the position / originally picked for
them.
After losing the first five games of
this present Eastern trip to Boston
and Brooklyn, the Cubs are going
better and are struggling to keep
above 800. They have been the
Giants nemesis this season. Uncle
Robby slipped into the second division
last week, a slip which was inevi-
table. The Braves again are playing
the kind of ball I expected from
them. but they go only in fits and
starts. The Phils are not recOnciled

Yanks Have It Sewed Up.
In the American League there is

DEPARTED SPIRIT

WARNEDD|CTATOR
FasCists Held SeanCe at
Which They Say Dead
Comrade Spoke.


TURIN, Dec, 21.-The last at
tempt on the Duce's life was pro-
phesied from the spirit world by a
departed Fascist, Amos Maramotti,
according to followers of the Duce
who say they communicated with
the spirit shortly before the attempt
ed assassination.
The conversation with the spirit
Of Amos Maramotti took place in
house wherein strange psychial
manifestations occurred nightly. The
phenomena were first noticed by a
girl living in the house. One night,
she was awakened by odd sounds
inside closets. Each night the SIMS
err noises became louder and more in
sistent. Finally, the house seemed
to have been possessed by devils.
Loud, ominous knocks, sudden
opening and shutting of doors and
windows by mysterious power. and
invisible hands which, grouping in
the darkness, dealt out blows and
caresses according to the spirits
mood or fancy. These were the por-
tentious omens which nightly per-
turbed the peace and quiet of the
inmates. until horror.stricken. they
informed the authorities of the phe-
nomena.
At last. several Fascists decided
to unravel the mystery. They set
night watch in the house. The first
night, a frightful fracas interrupted
the vigilance. 1t sounded as If the
whole spirit world had run amuck.
One of the watchers received a blow
on the nose, another an ineXcusable
kick on the shins, while a third.
more favored than the others, felt
cold hand drawn through his hair.
On the second night, however, the
watchers decided to force the issue
and learn whether the disturbances
were really caused by the spirit Of
a deceased person. A seance was
held. When the usual fry began,
one of the party called out. IF
you're here, knock once" Immedi-
ately a single, distant knock was
heard from out of the darkness.
Encouraged by their success, the
Fascists continued asking questions,
so that soon ineligible communion
ton was established with the spirit
Of Amos Maramotti by means of
knocks. When asked if the Duce's
life were in danger. the spirit ans
wered in the affirmative. A few days
later. at Bologna. Mussollni miracu-
lousy escaped assassination at the
hands of youthful anarchist.

STRONG MARKET
CONTINUES; CALL

InduStriaIs Average New
High-AmpIe Funds
Available.
BY e. Walter MockIer

NEW DIRK, Dec. 21.-Call money
rose to So per cent Monday when
income tax checks returned, al
though an ample supply Of funds
was available at the higher figure.
1t is logical to assume that the call
rate will hold fairly firm for the
balance of the year despite the heavy
influx of funds.
While industrials which led last
weeks advance were called upon to
absorb heavy profit taking, other in
dustrial specialties took up the
burden and at no time during the
day could the market have been de-
scribed as weak. Allied Chemical,
allied with the same banking group
which is interested in Steel and Gen
eral Motors, entered new high
ground above 14S on strong buying
while National Biscuit and Eastman
Kodak were the two other high
grade industrials enjoying the best
kind of buying.
