CARDS HARD
PRESSED FOR
LEAGUE HEAD

NEW YORK, Sept. 7. - The
west is up in arms against the east,
making the going tougher for the
New York Giants, who are trying
to keep within striking distance of
the National League lead.
Three days since the last invas-
ion Of the west began, eastern
teams have won only games of
II. Both these victories were turn
ed in by the Giants.
Before leaving for the west earl
ier this week, Manager Bill Terry
said if the Giants could keep near
the top during their stay away from
home they would have a chance of
gaining first place when they re-
turn to New York for the final
stand OF TIE season.
Terry'S task has become tough
er since he said that. The Giants
have lost only one out of three
since they went west but even SO it
resulted in their falling farther be-
hind the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cards, Cubs and Pittsburgh
Pirates have yet to lose a game
since the eastern invasion started.
Cincinnati has won one and lost
two to the Giants.
The Cards and Cubs are fighting
to the last ditch to eliminate the
Giants before they return home.
Twice in the last two days the Cubs
have won in extra innings while
the Cards have come from behind
the same number Of times to defeat
Boston.
Yesterday, for example, the Cubs
and Cards both won on fewer hits
than their opponents. So did the
Giants, but the two western teams
have been doing it consistently
during the last few days.
The Cards stayed three games
ahead Of the Giants and 2la in
front of the Cubs yesterday with a
Ga victory over Boston. The Cubs
are in third place, however, by OO2

but this year they didn't and, when
the season was well underway, still
were floundering aimlessly about in
sixth place. They pulled themselves
together. however and started COM
ing up. And once on their way,
they let nothing stop EN-.
In the National. the Cards have
a sweet edge in the games lost and
won column that makes EN- my
pick for the Tigers series oppon-
ents. Give a team like the Cards
an advantage like they have at this
stage Of the game and they're more
than even money bet TO slam down
the stretch.
Frankie FriSch's gas house boys
stand D. games ahead OF the Cubs
and three in front of the Giants
They top the Giants by four games
in the win column and have lost
two less. The Cubs. with 81 victor
les, are even with the Cards but
they've lost five more. Those five
games are going to prove a mighty
tough handicap for the Chicago
boys when the failing gets rough
near the end of the season. The
Giants may be troublesome but not
enough SO to keep the Cards out of
the series.

Breaking a deadlock in the last
half of the seventh inning the. Fl
Centre An-StarS defeated tn e
Brawley All-Stars on Wilson school
field last night by a 6-5 score. This
one score margin of victory indi-
Gated the nature of the game which
was hard fought throughout.
Joe Hurst was on the mound for
the locals and famed Il of the Wis
itorS while his opponent L. Young.
sent IL El Centrans to the bench
through strikeouts.
The Brawleyites started out as if
they intended to score a million or
more runs when they counted three
times in the initial stanza. The 10
Gals appeared unable to do anything
with Young for the first four
frames but in the fifth they got
to him and pushed over four runs
to take the lead. Another was add
ed in the next INNING to give the
FL CentranS q 5-3 advantage which
looked plenty big at that stage of
the game.
In the first of the seventh, how
ever, BraWley evened up the count
and fans had visions of an extra
inning game until the winning tally
was pushed over in the last of the
seventh. After this score Hurst was
invincible and held his advantage
until the close of the game.
This was the first of a three
game series between these two
teams. The second game will be
played here next Monday night

Bedtime Stories
The Dreadful Fear.

the most dreadful fear that 1t Is pos
sible for them to know-fear Of the
Red Terror, which we call fire. So,
because all were possessed by this
same fear they forgot their fear of
each other, or their desire to catch
those weaker than themselves.
The smoke rolled up above the trees
of the Green Forest in great black
cloud. More and more Of 1t stung
their Threats and made their eyes
water. More and more uneasy they
became Mrs. Lightfoot and the twins
waded out into the water to join
Lightfoot. Buster Bear walked back
and forth along the dam and didn't
so much as growl at Yowler the Bob
cat when he came to where Yowler
was crouching Buster would take to
the water If the fire should come
there, for Buster is good swimmer.
For that matter, all of them would
take to the water If the Red Terror
drove them to it.
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy, sitting on
the roof of their houses out in the
water, watched all that went on and
the uneasiness and fear which the
others felt they caught in measure.
You see, fear is very catching. To see
so many people afraid, so much afraid
that they forgot everything bu their
fear, made the Beavers afraid too,
although they knew that the Red
Terror never could reach them.
King Eagle came sailing down on
broad wings and alighted on the
stump of a tree near the edge Of
the pond At once every one wanted
to know the news, for they knew that
King Eagle, flying high, must have
been able to look down and see just
where the Red Terror was and where
it was going So they gathered about
the stump on which he sat, eager to
know If the Red Terror had yet
reached the Green Forest.

where Mrs. Lightfoot and the twins
were. He took no notice of them, nor
did they of him. Paddy the Beaver,
sitting on the roof of his house, saw
this and wondered, for he knew that
there is nothing that Buster Bear
likes better than a dinner of tender
young fawn. Buster turned and faced
the direction from which the smoke
was coming and shook his head. Then
he began to pace back and forth along
the shore. 1t was plain to see that he
was badly worried, and this worry
made him most uneasy.
Presently two more arrived They
came side by side. They were Jumper
the Hare and Old Man Coyote, Paddy
knew that Old Man Coyote had tried
times without number to catch
Jumper the Hare, and here they were
as if they were the best of friends.
Yowler the Bobcat came sneaking up
and crouched on one end of Paddys
dam. FOWLER paid no attention to
any one else He, too, had tried times
without number to catch Jumper.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel ran al
most under Yowler's nose and the
latter hardly gave him a glance.
Every few minutes there was a new
arrival. Big and little, the people of
the Green Forest we're coming to
Paddys pond. A great fear had pos

and powerful, it is not so fast a
traveller as the coachwhip or black
snake, and it manifests none Of their
viciousness.
Even If you have just captured
gopher snake and he is fully con-
WINGED he is a prisoner, he will permit
you to handle him and be quite good
natured about 1t. When startled in
its home grounds and with all ave-
nues of escape closed, it assumes an
attitude that is very unusual among
serpents. 1t flattens its head. COM
presses its neck for some inches, so
that it is flattened vertically. Then
it arches its neck a little, and in
this unique position will strike at any
object that offends it. All the time
this attitude is manifesed the tail
vibrates noisily. But such fits are of
short duration and usually the reason
for the pose has been SO frightened
it was glad to make its escape.
Though the gopher snake Is large
and strong, it is not a constructor. It
feeds in the same fashion as the
blacksnake does. That is, by holding
its prey to the ground under a part
of its body and engulfing the victim.

THIS name is traceable to the old
German family name, Balde-
chin. There are several allied names
in other countries, Baldichini in
Italy and Balchi, a name found in
Britain before the compilation of the
Domesday Book. The name now
known as Balche Is an abbreviation
of this ancient name.
One of the ancestral homes of the
Balches in England was Somerset
shire. whence John Balch, a New
England settler, came. He arrived
in Salem, Mass, in 1923.
The Rev. Thomas Balch was a
Maryland settler and bore the arms
here displayed. He arrived in the
Maryland Colony about 1885 and es-
tablished his home. Many OF his
descendants are now living in that
vicinity.
The color description Of the Balch
coat of arms is as follows: Barry

Slight Heart
Strain May
Prove Fatal
Infections Especially
Dangerous-Way to
Prolong Life.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.
"A S HEART disease stands first as a
cause of death and many of our
most valuable citizens pass away in
the prime of life, anything that will
prevent heart disease or anything
that will prolong life where heart
disease exists is of value to nearly
every household.
A sore throat or infected teeth oc-
cur and few weeks later the patient
Is struck down with an attack of
rheumatism; the patient may have
forgotten about the little disturbance
from the infected throat or other part
by this time.
From this attack of rheumatism
heart disease may follow.
Rheumatism Worst Offender.
Other infections beside rheumatism
may cause heart ailment, but rheu-
natism causes more than any other
single infection.
The thought then in preventing
heart disease or weakness of the heart
Is to try to avoid infection or to rest
quietly in bed when even slight all
ments attack you.
The next important point is how to
prolong life even when the heart has
been damaged. This is best done by
having the patient try to live within
his strength, avoiding all physical and
mental strain. In fact, many individ-
uals have had rheumatism, have a
leaking valve, and yet as the heart
muscle is strong they have no symp-
toms whatever and may live till old
age.
Blood Circulation Tested.
A simple and interesting method of
estimating the strength of the heart
was recently reported by two Russian
physicians who measured the length
of time it took the blood to make a
complete tour around the body There
were three groups of individuals: (a)
healthy group with no heart all
ment, (b) a second group with heart
disease but the heart quite strong,
and (c) third group in which the
heart was showing signs of failure.
They found that in healthy individ-
uals the blood went from one point
of the body and returned to this same
point in about liz seconds; in the
second group with heart disease but
in whom the heart was strong the
time was about 1914 seconds-less
than second longer than those with
healthy hearts; and in the third
group with the heart beginning to
fail, the time was about 20 seconds.
Thus, the effect of rest and of digi-
tails or other drug can be readily
measured by this simple method, as
the stronger the heart becomes the
less time it takes for the blood to
make a complete tour of the body.

Natures Children
Gopher Snake.

Most snakes, as you know, have a
distinct preference, either for the
warm bodied creatures, such as chick
ems, birds and mice, or for those that
are FLOODED, such as toads, frogs
and other snakes. The gopher snake
however, enjoys both and feeds with
equal voracity upon its SMALLER
brethren. frogs, chickens and small
mammals.
If the gopher is a star boarder
he even enjoys small fish, beside his
wide choice of foods. Few snakes
thrive SO well in captivity or are so
contented with their lot. They live
to be quite old, well over IL years,
and few snakes are more interesting
to study than this one. The eggs
of this snake are about the size of a
bantam's.
In the South the large gopher snake
Is often a welcome member of the
barn yard family. Here 1t is a tire
less rat catcher and does not modest
the small chickens. 1t becomes so
tame and gentle that children are
permitted to play around it and
