IND DIVISION
Double Defeat By Giants
Gives Them Hard Drop
Senators Gain

! NEW YORK, Aug. 26. (UP)
Bill Tery's New York Giants
yesterday extended their Nation
/ al lead to seven full games over
secOnd-place Boston by winning
a double-header from Pittsburgh,
! S to 5, and 8 to 2.
This double defeat dropped
the Pirates into second division
and enabled the idle st. Louis
Cardinals to replace them at
fourth position.
Terry struck the deciding
blow in the first game, a home
run in the 18th inning with two
men on base, after the Giants
had outhit the Corsairs ID to 7.
Freddie LindStrom made two
homers for the Pirates in this
contest. Mel OFT, who figured
prominently in the opener, driv-
ing out a single and a homer to
account for four runs. smashed
out another four-bagger in the
second contest with one aboard
in the same third inning in
which Johnny Vergez' homer sup
piled the third run. Leroy
Parmelee allowed the Pirates six
hits while the Giants found
Meme and Swift for seven.
Third-place Chicago split a
double-header with the Phillies,
the Pills winning the first, con-
test, 8 to 7, aided by homers
from Don Hurst and Chuck
Klein, the latter tying Wally
Berger of the Boston Braves for
league home run honors, each
now having "a. The Cubs out
hit the Pills 13 to 8. In the
nightcap. the Cubs staged a t.
hit attack on three Phillie pitch
ers and won, 7 to 4, as Lon
Warneke held the Quakers to
seven scattered hits.
Brooklyn won two games from
Cincinnati by the Identical
scores, 4 to 8. The Dodgers
were playing with a scrambled
lineup, featured by outfielder
Hack Wilson'S holding down sec
ond base. The Dodgers found
Red Lucas for nine hits while
Walter Beck held the Reds to
seven in the first game.
Silas Johnson held the Dodgers
to two hits in the second game,
but the blows. a home run and
triple, were timely.
Wilson hit the home run with
one aboard in the first inning. A
wild throw by Catcher Manion
after Taylor and Frederick had
walked, accounted for the first
run in this inning. In the sixth,
Taylor tripled and scored the
winning margin on Frederick's
outfield fly. Owen Carroll kept
the Reds II hits scattered. Four
errors prevented him turning in
an easier victory.
These were the only games
scheduled in the National league.

Washington Senators assumed a
commanding lead of nine full
games by nOsing out the Detroit
Tigers ) to 1. while the runners
up New York Yankees lost to the
Cleveland Indians 6 to i.
Poor fielding helped Bob
Burke turn in the Senator's vic
tory. The Tigers made four
errors behind Fred Marberry's
pitching. Burke yielded eight
hits, while his opponent gave up
10 safetics, one a home run by
Joe Kuhel, who also drove out
three other hits.
The Indians, held to one run
and four hits in seven innings,
broke loose in the eight frame
to score five runs, and even a
four game series. The Indians
combined six hits, including a
triple by Pytlak with two aboard,
and a base on balls to sew up
the game. Monte Pearson, who
started for the Indians, was
taken out for a pinch-hitter dur
ing the rally. He received ere
dit for the victory, although Mel
Harder finished. The Yanks
made eight hits. while Indians
found Charley Devens, Pennock
and Moore for 10 hits.
Bob Johnscn's hitting enabled
the Philadelphia Athletics to de-
feat the st. Louis Brown IL to
3 and replace the Detroit Tigers
in fourth place. Johnson hit two
home runs and two singles for
a perfect day at bat. I'd Wells
and Hank Mcdonald pitched for
two Browns, allowing II hits,
three more than Barrett for the
AS, yielded.

mound and pitched and batted
the Boston Red SoX to an s to
/ victory over the Chicago White
SoX.

Growing Opium Poppics

The successful cultivation of
opium peoples is possible only whore
there is not an excessive rainfall
and where the climate is tropical or
Snbtropical. Also. the industry can
be successfully carried on only
where labor and land are sufficiently
cheap and abundant. The cultiva-
ton of pOppieS for the production
of opium is therefore not possible
in this country and it would I'M
doubtedly not be allowed even if it

snakes brought from distant parts of the globe
and found in virtually all types of terrain, save
only mountain tops ana polar areas, rest many
unique stories Among these, the narrative OF
the acquisition of the blood python, striking
ly-hued specimen, is exceptional. In it are
embodied seemingly irrelevant elements, includ-
ing postal card, telepht ne call and dealer
In rare birds.
The bird dealer, located on the Pacific Coast,
mailing lists of birds he has for sale to direc-
tors Of ZOOS throughout the country using
mimeographed postal cards for the purpose
One Of these cards came to Dr. Manns desk
several months ago. The director of the WASH
ington Zoo, not being in the market for birds
at that time. paid slight attention to the card
upon its arrival.
One day. during break in telephone con-
versation, DR.. Mann casually began to finger
the card. While he was doing this, he by the
merest chance happened to see the bird man
had included snake in the listing of stock he
had for sale. Being bird man. he had made
an error in the scientific name of the snake In
his listing.
The telephone conversation concluded, Dr.
Mann haStened into bit of research work
and came to the conclusion that the bird man
had blood python for sale. At that time no
snake belonging to that species had been on
exhibition In zoo since back in the 1880s.
A telegraphic inquiry developed the informa-
tion that the snake was still for sale, was In
good health and might be obtained for an ex-

limit the scope of the intelligence.
Here almost all the young people come out
of college exactly alike and equally unintereSt-
ing. There they are encouraged to hang on to
their own personalities and as q result they
come out with better trained minds and more
individual attitude toward knowledge and he.
Europeans are trained to think. They are
not stuffed with myriads of unrelated facts.
Because of their superior system of educa-
tion, the European young people manage to
stay young longer. The most horrifying thing
to me about our youngsters is their superficial
maturity. They acquire hardness that comes
from mingled conceit and ignorance and leads
to the dreadful American habit of smartness.
We must beware of raising nation OF mil
lions of snart-alecks
i'm Europe, children are not forced to take
part in adult life. Here they are always
with their elders-a nuisance to them and no
benefit to themselves
In Europe, kids are raised by simple coun-
try nurses on simple diet, no matter how veal
thy they are. Consequently, they retain the
freshness, the innocence and the Intelligent
childhood.
'The youngsters Of England never drank as
much as Americans Their eyes and teeth are
better IN spite of the intensive athletic training
which we stress here.
1.-The Germans used to overeat and drink q
lot, but no more. The youth of Germany today
has seen suffering has suffered, has managed
to survive and is realizing the virtues Of the
simple life"
Those who say that the youth of Germany
is definitely politically minded do not quite un-
derstand the situation, according to this author.
It is just that they are more intelligent all
round than American boys and girls, and there
fore understand more about politics.
German youth is taking lively interest IN
the state" Hergesheimer explained. 1.-THE Hit
Ter movement is now losing ground The youth
seems to be swinging toward the Left.

Old Lead Kills Ducks

| UNBELIEVABLE as it may seem, the Bio
logical Survey has found that ducks by
the thousand in the marshes of Louisiana die
annually through lead poisoning incurred when
the ducks. feeding beneath the waters of the
lakes and other bodies of water they inhabit,
pick up spent shot along with the gravel they
consume and this lead brings about the poison
ing, resulting in their death.
So numerous have been the saynters and 50
many the shots which they have fired, the

And the snake soon thereafter made the trans

Reptile house records, however, are replete
with evidences of the amazing amount of vitality
which is stored in the long, slnky forms of its
inhabitants. Many in captivity have lived seve
eral weeks without eating, even when i'll health
was the basic cause for adoption of the nun

ing has been adopted by the keepers as the
last possible resort.
Large pythons have been subjected to forc1
BILE feeding by use Of the "ram-rod system by
which food literally IS rammed into them
through utilization Of long pole. Another
method calls for the tying of pieces of food
together in a long chain; when the snake swal-
lows the first piece it finds itself forced to con-
tinue the swallowing process, with the result
that it gets full meal even when its appetite
Is tagging.
Having no vocal equipment and no vestiges
Of external apparatus for hearing, the snakes

Kisses and rattles. There are Stories of course,

with being capable of making a sound some
