American Review or reviews: IN
view of all the data now available
reasonable Interpretation OF the flu
trre of commercial radio telephony
W ould seem to be one in which it's use
was confined solely to those services
where telephone communication was
desired and where such service could
not be given by ordinary telephone
means. Certain It is that both
natural and governmental limitations
will act to restrict the indiscriminate
use of radio telephony on large scale
between land stations. Even If there
were no military requirements In
vclved the needs OF prospective ser
vices at sea and in the air are suffi.
cient to utilize all the mountaineering
channels now available for radio tele-
phone communication.
The existing fundamental condi
tons dispose at once OF the idea OF
everybody having his own small radio
telephone plant and calling at will
anyone with whom he or she might
desire to talk.
! For radio telephony, as indeed for
oil forms OF radio communication out
side the realm of war, there seems to
| be little doubt that the Developments
Of the future will be in the direction
! OF apparatus and methods to exteno
| and supplement the existing wire ser
vice. There is no present indication
OF any radio developments which will

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE same old
commission graphing with the same
old problems, is to be in session IN
cincinnati today. Chairman Garry
Herman Is expected to call the roll on
such familiar questions as:
What shall we do with the minors!
What shall we do with the world
series money? What shall we do about
the Federal league suit?
Presidents Johnson and Heydler
will help him vote.
The minor leagues will not SEND
emissaries to Cincinnati. AL Tearney,
foster father to fine family of minor
leagues and leader of the militant
minors, said today the big leaguers
will not be bothered with his COM
pany.
I'VE are satisfied with the agree
ment that let's minors and majors op'
crate as separate bodies Tearney
said. "However, we do want that
agreement in writing. We expect to
get it soon If not at this session of the
commission"
The world series rloney, according
to confident prophets here will again
be split between the participating
clubs instead of by all first divisioners.
That experiment was a success-as

an experiment Now most players
feel they would prefer shot at the
big money than to be fairly sure OF a
driblet. The worlds series Jingle at
Boston last year when players were
disappointed at seeing only flivver
where they had expected 3 triple-six,
threatened to strike, showed ball play
ers are business men, not altruists.
Others in the game believe 1t better
to hold out the hope OF big returns
for the few rather than comparative
trifles for the many. That makes EN-
all hustle.
The Federal league question is the
painful one, defunct baseball holding
a Judgment over organized basepan
and the latter planning nightly to
overturn 1t.
