RACE
BEING STAGED in
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Bv GEOAGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. II. tU.P)-The
st. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn
Robins continued their desperate
race today to overtake the found
ering Chicago Cubs in the topsv
turNy National League pennant der
by.
Each 4 game and half from the
top, but with the Robins one per.
centage point behind the Cardinals
because Brooklyn has won and lost
one more game than st. Louis, two
pennant contenders with the bright
est chances resumed their Crucial
series at the polo grounds and Eb
bets Field.
y six game winning streak in
tact and two straight victories over
the league leaders, the Robins met
the Cubs in the final game of the
season between the two clubs.
With an even break in the first
two games, the Cardinals and Giant,
clashed in the third game of their
four game series. Coming back
from the brink of defeat, the Card
inals defeated the Giants in the
eighth inning yesterday when Sun.
ny Jim Bottomley bounced a home
run off the right field tier with
Adams and Frisch on base.
Freddy LindStrom's "statue of
liberty" play ON Frisch's grounder
with two out in the eighth and the
Giants leading, 81, permitted Bot
tomley to bat and win the game
5-3.
Three games behind the Cubs and
one and a half behind the Cards
and Robins, the Giants now seem
definitely out Of the pennant chase
Cubs webbing
If there is any life left in the
Cubs, it hasn't made its appearance
in the Brooklyn series. Their two
best pitchers, Pat Malone and
Charley Root, have been beaten.
Hack Wilson. Xxi Cuyler and
Riggs Stephenson are failing in the
pinches.
For today Wilbert Robinson had
Dazzy Vance to hurl against the
Cubs, while Joe Mccarthy had to
choose between Guy Bush and Bud
Teaehout, both ragged in their last
efforts.
At the polo grounds left handlers
were scheduled to pitch, with eth
or Bill Walker or Carl Hubbell OPP
posing Bill Hallahan. The Giants
have beaten Hallahan in three of
his four starts against them thus
far.
If the Robins and Cardinals win
today's games, the standings will
be:
w. L. Pet. Games Behind
Chicago so 80 .575
St.Louis 10 50 .572 -
Brook'n so 60 81 -
n. Y. II 60 .554 8
Thus the Cards and Robins will
virtually be tied for the lead, only
the difference in the number of
games played keeping the Cubs out
in front. One more defeat at this
stage of the race certainly will
hang black crepe on the Giants
chances.

down to one-sided defeat yesterday afternoon at hands of Thomastou High, the final score being fl 10 '. It was the locals second straight loss after winning streak Of three games.
 Plainrille started off like a whirl- wind in the opennig inning and the game appeared to be a walk away, as the locals chased six runners across the plate. However Grohos- ski frightened up after this wild scoring bee and held Plainville to one run for the remainder of the game. Thomaston scored two runs in the first inning and five in the scond, hitting the offerings of Dalke hard. They picked at Dalke's of- ferings for the remainder of the game and timely hits, combined with PlainVille errors, gave them seven more runs. Grohoski was wild and walked sereR men, but when he found the plate his offerings pug zied the Plainvile bat,ers and he famed II men.

He stated that Daly shouf have learned his lesson by this time and If he hadn't he meyer would. He also stated that a man who had as many friends as Daly had should ap- prcciatc the fact and respect the e friendship. He said that a man as valuable as Daly was in the eyes Of his employer should have sonrc sort Of, estimate of his own relative value, He concluded his remarks with a plea to the court to be as ienlent as possible towards his client.
 Judge George Griswold and Pros ecutor Charles r. Lewis were wont to consider this plea because of the fact that there were cXtenuating cir Cumstanccs and, as a consequence the court meted out q fine Of $lo0 and costs amounting to SlS.4i and did not impose jail sentence.

He further requested the court to remit part of the fine if it would. saying that such an option was within the power Of the judge Judge Griswold fined the man the minimum of $50 and costs, which made the total penalty S62.

Heart Surgery

CURGICAL operations on human >hearts were, until recently, usually
 fatal. However, as a result of im- proved methods of surgery and in the use of anesthetcs some amazing opera tions have been performed.
 Surgeons have sewed up wounds of the heart; bullets have been removed from hearts. When in a case of this kind the body of the victim of gun shot wound in the heart was opened and the heart examined all opening was found into the organ, but no exit opening was discovered. The opening was closed and during the operation the heart stopped. After massage i began beating again.
 In another case d man was stabbed and when the patient was opened the wound was found to have penetrated the outer covering of the heart and the heart itself. The heart had appar ently stopped beating. The space be- tween the outer covering of the heart and the heart itself was filed with blood cots The sac was opened and the blood clots were removed, where upon the heart began to beat. The heart was sewed, the outer covering was sewed. and the wound in the chest closed.
 Another amazing instance of heart surgery consisted of opening the or gan and cutting constricted valve. The patient completely recovered.

Queer Franks That Lightning Plays

made for imagination where phenomena of this kind are observed. An inter rupted current of electricity is diverted into many branches and minor ramli- cations, so that such markings might easily be taken to represent a tree,
 Nevertheless, lightning is famous for its eccentric performances. It is sad, apparently on good authority, to sour render almost immediately putrid the Carcasses of animals killed by it. 4 thunderbolt has been known to pas through file of soldiers, killing the last man, but not jnjuring the others. On April 90, 1894. q whole flock of wild geese, tWenty-two in number flying north over Casenovia, Mich, were killed by lightning.
 Often it happens that a tree is liter ally torn to pieces by thunder0o', which, instantaneouSiy converting It. sap into vapor, produces an explosive effect.
 Practically all deaths from lightning occur during the six months from April to September the highest rate being in June and July. In ten average years in the United States, according to the Weather Bureau figures, seven hundred dwellings twcnty-ojght hun, dred barns and one hundred and ten churches are destroyed by fire from the skies, with a tota, of forty-fye hundred fires, causing loss Of S16,000,000.
 Killings by lightning balls" arr among the most remarkable of all natural phenomena, taking the form of brilliant globes of electricity the size of oranges, or sometimes much bigger, and which burst like bombs, with tremendous explosions. They have very strange way of entering houses. coming in through doors or windows. or dropping down chimneys. A fatal accident of this kind befell a Russian scientist. Professor Richmann, who, not long after Benjamin Frank lin's famous performance with the kite, attempted to duplicate his experi- ment, flying his kite from the window of his laboratory. 4 lightning ball entered through the window, struck him on the head and instantly killed him.
 In some instances the body of a person struck ny lightning is literally charred. Those who recover from such strokes may be marked with scars of burning.

A NEW automobile headlight which "A is designed to give wide side
 beam illumination as well as lcng range without glare, and IS placed between the two normal headlights on a car, has been perfected by w. Darcy Ryan, director of the Illuminating en- gineering laboratory of the General Electric Company.
 This is Mir. Ryan's second contrlbu- ton to the gigantic task of solving the headlight problem. Three years ago ne announced a new type non-glare head light for automobiles which are now used on several makes of cars. These lamps, operating from a single tllament bulb with fixed focus, are ot the non-tilting and non-depressible t,f beam type. Once turned on they tloodilght the road and require no attention from the driver.
 But despite the universal protest from drivers to headlight glare, owners CTS of cars have been slow to discard thelf Te own headlights for the new type llghtS. Perhaps 1t was because drivers are not
