BEATS MATS IN 9TH
Errors Fatal as Lead Is
Blown Along With Sec.
ond Place Chances.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

n YEw YORK. September 1o-
mi With the same f1nesse which
v has marked their every other
refusal to answer opportu-
nity's knock-knock your Nationals
virtually blew their second-place
chances here today by losing . 6-to-
decision to the Yankees.
The death blow, delivered by Bill
Dickey in the ninth inning, was de-
cisive enough. With one out the
lank Yankee catcher poled a home
run into the rightf1eld bleachers to
end the ball game and. probably, sgd
Cohen's hopes Of remaining a big
Lacquer. But it was the events lead
ing up to the home run that hurt
worse than Dickey's clout.
Right of the bat the Yanks found
themselves with 2-to-0 lead without
earning single run.
Then the Mats got over their stage
fright for spell and presented Jimmy
De Shong with a 5-to-2 lead going
into the New York half Of the sew.
enth inning.
When this frame finally was COM
pleted, two more National errors had
helped to tie up the affair. paving
the way for Mr.. Dickey's big bat.
Stone Goat" Of Defeat!
THE goat" of the game, in the
final analysis, was not Cohen,
who gave up the winning run, but
Johnny Stone. who muffed two flies
in the flare of bright sun, the sec
ond Of which enabled the Yanks to
tie the score.
Stones chief rivals for the goat"
title were Buddy Lewis and Johnny
Mihalic, although Lewis later took
the curse of f1rst-inning error that
helped the Yanks to take their early
lead.
With one down in the first inning,
De Shong walked Rolfe and Di Mag
gio grounded to Lewis, who booted the
ball for an error. Gehrig then forced
Di Maggie, but Dickey and Selkirk
singled successfully to give the new
American League champs 20 lead.
After leaving five runners stranded
on base in the first two innings, the
Grif1s began to reach Bump Hadley
in the third inning when singles by
Ben Chapman, Stone and Cecil Travis
produced run. In the fourth inning
they nearly chased the plump Mr..
Hadley from the premises with a
rally that started tamely. but wound
up strongly.

This sounds simple and easy - but you'd

had never before seen a harness a burro,
and the people weren't sure it wasn't flying in
the faces of the gods, their ancestors. Hun
dreds of natives, men, women and children,
poured into the street to see the burro har-
messed. Men argued among themselves, shouted
advice to the harness maker and pitied the poor
burro.
A T LAST he was properly fitted, but leaving
~ the village was new problem. First the
burro wasn't sure that he wanted to move an
inch, and the crowds were so big we weren't
sure could move ourselves.
We'll get the police" said the professor, and
he somehow found them few natives with
clubs. These cleared the way, pressing back the
throngs.
The way cleared, but our burro refused
to bulge. His former owner suggested
"If he gets balky handful of sugar will
sooth him - but his wild spirit is not big"

of sugar, fed the little beast and off he

We were as good as holiday to the cheering
crowds which saw us off. Children were raised

was real part of old China with braided pig

quiet, no crowds to disturb the old mans

IA /E ASKED permission to speak with them
Wv to ask questions The grandfather's
face beamed, he seemed glad to explain what
he could. What, in fact, did we care to discuss?
Confucius of course
He called to his grandson, and instructed him
to interpret carefully, that we'd understand
clearly.
We'd thought to ask questions, but it seemed
wiser to allow the old gentleman to tell his own
story - to wander along the highway of his
memory and recall the wisdom of his race
He went backward through the years,
niemberng old tales if they'd happened to
him yesterday so vivid was his memory. His
worn lined face took on an expression of
dreamy peace.
Fifteen hundred years before Moses of the
Hebrews received the tablets of marble from
your God, our Emperor sacrificed the

through the low haze in the distance.) ITO
the Emperor appeared the Mystic dragon, i'm
parting many things of which Fuld had
knowledge First: he presented diagrams, ex-
planning all science and the true philosophy of
life. He directed that the crude hieroglyphics
must be replaced by character-language, which
we use today. He instructed that silk was to be
used, and the silk worm cultivated Methods in
the use of metals should be improved. Carrying
cut these instructions laid the foundation of our
great Chinese civilization. Lastly, the dragon
was to become the symbol of the Empire. 1t be-
gan with the dragon, and with the dragon it
ended five thousand years later with the fall of
the monarchy"

voice. his grandson had translated slowly, dis

The two discussed the question, and the old

gram reads as follows:

A more definite Interpretation
would be; all crops, except corn
