OVER CINCINNATI
Nv United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-With only
sixteen games to go, the St Louis
Cardinals held three game lead
over the Cincinnati Reds in the Ma
tlonal league pennant fight today
and were odds on favoritcs to win.
The Pirates by taking yesterday s
double header from the Reds, moved
to within three and q half games of
the Cards and within only half a
game Of Cincincinnati. The Pirates,
virtually counted out of contention
after their recent slump, attacked
tire Reds Savagely and put renewed
hope in their supporters that they
might yet snatch the victory.
Both the Cards and the Reds are
idle today and Pittsburgh by beat
ing tn" Cubs in the scheduled double
header, can move into second place
and gain a full game Oh the Cards.
The Pirates still have - games to
play, against Is for the Cards and
Is for the Reds. Only one of the
odd breaks Of the tricky game of
baseball, could give Pittsburgh the
pennant.
IN the American league the New
York Nanks retained their seven
game lead, although beaten by the
Red SoX. when the second place
Clvcland Indians were defeated by
Detroit. a Yank victory is almost
certain.

FRANCE HAS GOOD
CHANCE TO TAKE
DAVIS CUP HOME
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-With
the greatest chance a foreign team
has had since 1919 to take the Davis
cup away from the Cnitcd States,
France, with team of Youngsters.
was to play veteran American
team in the opening matches of the
major classics Of tennis at the Ger
mantown Cricket club this after
noon.
The concern of the United States
Lawn Tennis association over the
real danger Of the French threat and
the disposition to take no chances
was Indicated when Billy Johnston,
the little California star. was nomi-
mated to open the challenge round
against Rene La Coste, one Of the
three aces on the invading team.
When Winnie Richards the young
New York star, was ranked as No.
, player under Bill Tilden in the
seeding of the draw for the national
championships which start at Forest
Hills. next Monday, il was surmised
that he would be selected to play in
the singles instead of Johnston.
But the wise minds of the tennis
association figured that Johnston 5
game was best suited to beat either
Borotra or La Coste and that Rich
ards and Dick Williams would be
America s best bet in the doubles.
The French doubles team has not
been announced and will not have
to be named until late this after
noon.
Johnston and La Costc are sched-
uled to start at 2:30 eastern day
light time) and their match will be
followed by the second singles battle
between Bill Tilden, national champ
ion, and Jean Borotra, the well
known bounding basque.

Dread of Darkness Hard to Eradicate

Why is 1t that, no matter how long
we live, we never outgrow our terror in
the dark? Why Is 1t that so many
thousands of persons wake up sudden
ly at 2 AS a. m. and are struck with
the swiftness and unexpectedness of
blow by some worry. some regret, some
remorse. some neglected duty? Why
is it that these things torment our
minds in the long watches of the night
and dwindle to insignificance with the
rising sun? asks William Lyon Phelps
in Scribner's Magazine.

Scotch Sailor Made
Immortal by Defoe

Alexander Selk1rk was Scottish
sailor whose adventures furnished De-
foe the basis for his immortal story of
Robinson Crusoe." Selkirk, having
quarreled with his captain on one Of
his voyages, was left on the island Of
Juan Fernandez in 1704, with only his
gun and ammunition, and a few other
necessaries of life. There he remained
for more than four years, living on
game. and clothing himself with the
skins of goats. In 1903 he was rescued
by Capt. Woodes Rogers. and became
his mate. He afterwards attained the
rank of lieutenant in the British navy.
Defoe has often been charged with
having surreptitiously taken the story
of Robinson Crusoe" from the papers
of Alexander Selkirk. but the expert
ences of the real hero and those Of the
fictitious one have so little in common
that Defoe seems indebted for little
more than the suggestion.-Kansas

They watched the trout waving In
