TnlS puSneO St. LOUIS a ndlI
game In front In the feverish
National League pennant race
with 83-45 for .648 compared
with Brooklyn's 83-46 and .643.
The Dodgers tie wis resched-
uled for today--and if, Brooklyn
should win with st. Louis idle
the margin between the two riv-
ais would be reduced again to
.OO2.
DODGERS SLIPPING
The Dodgers debacle in
losing a doubleheader Saturday
to the New York Giants and
the difficulty they had yester-
Sday with the seventh place
Braves did nothing to increase
the confidence of trnir fans.
Dolph Camilli carried them
to victory in the fohr-hour op-
ener. He made five hits, tied
the score in the eighth inning
with his 10Th home run, tied it
again with q double in the 18th
and won it with q single in the
18th. Darkness permitted only
six innings of play in the after
piece and old Fred .Fitzsimmons
pitched two-hit bali over this
distance. But short-,ttop Peewee
Reese had another attack of the
filters and let In tw b runs. The
Dodgers barely wtsre able to
come from behind before the
game was called.
BIG CROWD SEES CARDS
At st. Louis, before 34,812
fans, the biggest crowd in two
years at SportsmanS Park, Err
ME White held Pittsburgh to
nine hits and allowed no runs
after the first inning in the op-
ening contest. A hoaner by Jim
Brown put st. Louis ahead in
the sixth and White himself
tripled to bat in tlie final run
in the eighth. Afterward How
ard Pollet, the kid sensation
frosn the Texas leeGue, pitched
a six-hitter for his third victory
and drove in two runs with q
single.
In the other National League
action the Giants swept a dou-
BILE bill from the l>oor Phillies
and Cincinnati split with the
Chicago Cubs New York s-first
victory, IA, was achieved on
four-hit hurting by Bob Carpen-
ter and a five-run seventh inn
ing in which Joe Moore and Mel
OFT each hit two-run homers.
OFT also smackd q home run,
his 9th, in the pHghtcap and
drove in three Ia lilies, but it
took another circuit; clout, Babe
Young's 21st, to win. 4-3, in the
tenth inning.
DERRINGER WINS
Paul Derringer beat Jake
Mooty in a duel in which each
allowed six hits els the Reds
topped Chicago, 2-u, but the
Cubs came back to take the
nightcap, 5-4, on Phil Cavarre-
ta's triple in the tenth. Vallie
Eaves and Tot Presnell combin-
ed in a five-hit pitching per-
Torrance.
The New York Yankees di-
vided a doubleheader with the
Athletics at Philadelphia and
now need three mere victories
to clinch the American League

OVERNIGHT OFFICERS

The army is not making the best
use of its trained officer personnel.
The war department quite prop
erly and necessarily encourage tens
of thousands of civilians to take ap-
pointments as reserve officers. Nat
urally, some of them were rank
amateurs as soldiers and the bulk
of them held lieutenant's commits
sions. Now we are calling thousands
of them to active duty. When they
Join for duty with troops they have
to earn their advancement, but
when they come in on staff assign
ments, it is becoming a very diff
ferent matter. ... .
A little personality plus, some
times, a political drag, works for
many of these neophytes what many
years of service don't work for a
regular. New captains, majors and
observation-disclosures are being Great
ed out of reserve subalterns who
haven't year of active duty.
At the same time, men with COM
plete military experience and educa-
ton, who have resigned or retired
or are World war veterans returned
to civil life, get deaf ear when
they volunteer to be recommissioned
and recalled to active duty.
It is demoralizing to officers on
the active list of the regular army.
We should as readily condemn the
selection of an amateur officer to
look after their welfare as an anna
teur doctor to look after their health,
especially if there is a reputable
specialist available.
Exactly the same thing happened
at the beginning of the World war,
until General Pershing got his in
dependent command in France and
began to send the misfits wholesale
to the Redistribution center at Blois
or '.Blooey' as the soldiers called
it.
But why do we have to wait until
the guns begin to roll to correct
such an obvious blunder as this?
Every American in shoulder
straps is entitled to advancement to
any grade when in some stern test
he has shown his superior fitness.
This goes whether he is regular,
national guard or reserve officer.
But there has been no opportunity
for any such test of any amateurs
as yet, and regular and national
guard officers have at least their rec
.ords of long service. They have the
records, but the amateurs are get
ting the rank.

work this way so that they may

whenever rug hookers meet there

the National Council of the Boy

more than 100000 young Amer

with the creed Of the Boy Scouts, a
law which in specific ways covers
personal duty to God, to country and

sufficient volunteer leadership has
denied the opportunity to other mil

Crime Does Not Puy

The great Anti -Horsethief Associa-
ton of Strawberry Point, Idaho,
founded in 1886, has had a curious
and disappointing history. Begun in
high hope, it has virtually ended in
failure. 1t has never yet had case.
Idaho crooks let them down so
badly, in fact, that they were COM
PEELED to take on the job of detecting
mule, chicken, duck, turkey, goose
and bicycle thieves. Year after
year, members paid dues to serve
as reward funds, but the shady cit
izenry stayed away from Strawberry
Point. In other parts of Idaho and
in neighboring States crimes galore
were perpetrated-the kind that were
right up their alley-but, alas, out of
their jurisdiction. Horses by the
hundreds and poultry by the thou
sands were rustled to right and left
of them, but none on the premises.
In desperation they added automo-
biles to their repertoire, still with no
luck. There was disgusting lack
of enterprise among local crooks, and
the treasury grew dangerously full.
When it reached $842 something
simply had to be done. They called
a meeting and distributed dividends
of five and ten dollars apiece until
they had reduced it to s141, with
remark from the chairman that Mr..
J. Edgar Hoover was absolutely right

America. The large question today is,
how shall they secure and keep it?
Other peoples as strong as we have
desired it, but for the time they have lost
it. They are compelled now to reckon
with their "lost years" the years of their
folly and stupidity. They built their
defenses, they prosecuted their trade and
commerce, they grew strong intellectu-
ally, they had measurable contentment,
they built homes and reared families,
and then-misfortune, disaster and
shattered hopes were their lot.
The following excerpts from a Paris
newspaper appeared the morning after
the occupation of that beautiful city by
the German invader: I'VE are going to
pay for so years of de-Christianization

and materialism, decline into political
anarchy. After the last war Providence
granted us 25 years respite in which to
recover ourselves. We returned to our
ree-thinking, materialism, to our 'popu-
lar 'front.' moral and political an
archy. We have worn out the patience
of Providence! We have disguised the
good God Himself And now, when will
the Lord grant us the recovery and
resurrection of France?"
This is the lamentation of a nation,
upon which has been imposed a cruel
slavery. 1t is the honest confession of
a people who believed in the supremacy
of the state and of its self -suficiency, a
state without God, unmindful of its
moral and religious obligations. Has
our Nation drifted slowly and surely
away from its old moorings? Have these
late years seen us Notwithstanding the
Nation, given to paganism and mate
rialism and political anarchy? We have
no Maginot or Siegfried Line; we are
only now, and in feverish haste, building
our defenses; we are suddenly, but not
adequately being awakened to imminent
and impending dangers We are reluc-
tant to have our complacency disturbed.
When will we turn again to the old
wholesome ways, the Christian ways. the
reverent ways, that were once our glory
and our pride?
Wake up, America, day of reckoning
it at hand! There must be no more
"lost years" We want a friendly. civ
ilized world of free people, in which
Christian virtues and moral values are
not spurned and outmoded" Have we
the moral courage to pay the price?
