diplomats and foreign Office officials
on the subject of such parley fol-
lowed close on the heels of British
press reports that the British govern

ST. LOUIS. September 81
The Cubs won the National
League pennant today when they
defeated the Cardinals, to 2, in
the first game of a double-header.
BY the Associated Press.
SPORTSMANS PARK, st. Louis,
September 27.-Face to face with
sudden death on the diamond, the
once-mighty st. Louis Cardinals sent
the:- No. burden bearer, Jerome
Herman Dean, to the mound today
in the first game of a desperate dou-
header attempted to keep Chi
cagos Cubs from the National League
pennant.
Bill Lee, the ex-Cardinal farm hand
who has won 10 and lost but 6 for
the leading winning percentage Of the
leagues moundsmen this season, was
handed the honor assignment by Man
ager Charlie Grimm, who professed
certainty of clinching the flag with
the twentieth Cub triumph in success
sion, the most spectacular winning
streak in 19 years.
Conditions not only were bad for
base ball, but very treacherous for a
team that was about ready to go into
the world series against Detroit The
infield was muddy in spots and slip
perry after a 30-hour rainfall. The area
around the side lines was almost a
complete quagmire, with pools of water
dotting the landscape
Manager Grimm sent the same line
up that has won 10 straight, including
a brilliant 1-to-0 victory over the Car
dinals Wednesday, into the first game
and announced that, win or lose, he
would work the veteran Charlie Root
in the second. F'risch waited the re-
suit of the first game before announc-
ing his second hurler. A defeat in the
opener would clinch the pennant for
the sensational Cubs, who were up
and 4 to go.

ing Event of Presi-
dents REGATTA.

Distancing not only her own field,
but one that started 10 minutes earlier,
E. Werner Smythe's Sassy today cap
tured the sailing race for comet class
craft, to set a brilliant pace for the
opening of the ninth Presidents Cup
Regatta.
Expertly handled by her owner and
Gushing Daniel, the Sassy was off in
front as nine comets crossed the start
ing line off Hains Point, and then, one
by one, picked up an equal number
of sailing canoes that had answered
the gun 10 minutes before in the open
ing race of the program.
Never faltering, the Sassy beat
down the Virginia side of Georgetown
Channel, around Hains Point and up
to the War College for the first leg of
the 2l2-mile lap, and then, as though
on string, rounded the outer marker
and was on her way back once more.
The sturdy craft repeated this per-
formance and then as spectators
cheered crossed the finish line a good
five minutes ahead of anything else in
the two races, whose entries now were
all intermingled, as the speedier
comets were catching up with the
canoes. The Sassy's time for the 2
miles was 1869.
Van Kammen q Winner.
The canoe race was won by c. Van
Kammen, sailing with the skillful To-
year-old Verna Hazard. in 2:20:18,
while the third race of the morning,
that for moth class was taken by the
Jaycee, skippered by w. johnson of
Baltimore, who capsized just as the

was only over one lap, 21s miles, as
compared to the 5 miles of the other

ETHIOPIAN GROUND DRYING.
Patience Can't Last Forever, Spokes-
man Warns.

ROME, September 27 Pl.-An Ital'
ian government spokesman said TO-DAY
that Italy was willing to observe
two-Weeks' unofficial truce VIII
Ethiopia, unless something happens.
The spokesman observed that the
rains had ceased in Ethiopia and the
ground would soon be dry enough for
troop movement.
He said that unless something
happens" Italy will wait for the League
of Nations Council to bring in its re-
port 10 days or two weeks hence, add
ing: But our patience cannot last
forever"
Collaboration Continues.
The Italian government assured the
world through its spokesmen thai
Italv would continue to collaboratt
with the League until every reason
able effort to adjust the 1talo-Ethio-
plan problem had been exhausted.
Informed sources explained quickly
however, that this statement in nc
sense presupposed a willingness by
Premier Mussolini to enter into
formal truce with Emperor Halle Sci
assie of Ethiopia.
A government spokesman said Italy
would not commit itself with regard
to a truce, the government holding
stubbornly to its belief that only Italy
could be a competent judge of what
should be done to Ethiopia.
Victims of Aggression"
1--WE have considered ourselves VIC
tins of aggression and menace from
Ethiopia for some time" the spokes-
man asserted.
Therefore, he explained, Italy could
not be bound by any temporary meas
ure such as a truce engineered by the
League.
The Italian government view was
represented by him as meaning that
such an arrangement could be binding
between Italy and Ethiopia only if ar
Selassie themselves.
Equally clear-cut was the feeling in
sources close to the government that
the League Council embarked on q
fruitless excursion into treacherous
juridical waters with its invocation OF
Article XIV of the League Covenant to
bring out report on the Italo-Ethio-
plan crisis.
Report Is Authorized.
This article authorizes the Council
to report on disputes and recommend
measures In the event that concilia-
ton between two members of the
League fails.
Government sources insisted that
Article XIV, or Article XVI. which
provides for sanctions against any
nation resorting to war, cannot apply
in the present case, contending that
Italy and Ethiopia were not on equal
