Many Interesting Achievements
Are Now Being Made
Public.
SEAL OF silence BROKEN
System Of Sending and Receiving
Wireless Telephone Messages at
Same Time and 6arraoe Re-
ceiver Among Novelties.

New York.-As the seal placed upon
he activities Of Americas inventors
by the war is broken, news Of many In
teresting achievements unknown to the
public during the conflict are being
brought to light. A system Of sending
and receiving wireless telephone mes
sages at the same time, as Is done In
wire lines; q "barrage receiver" which
shuts out the sound Of all wireless VI
bration except those which the opera
tor wishes to hear, and system OF
rapid and accurate photography OF
wireless message became known to the
public for the first time recently, al
though government naval stations have
been experimenting with them for
some time.
Engineers Of the General Electric
company at Schenectady are response

F. w. Alexanderson. consulting en-
gineer Of the company, told Of the de-
velopment Of the barrage receiver and
wireless telephony ideas at meeting

COMING TO LIGHT

neers that obviously some system Of
simultaneous sending and receiving
would have to be invented before wire
less telephony would ever become COM
mercially practicable. Switching from
one apparatus to another to send and
receive would be annoying and delay
Ing. For instance, the user Of the tele-
phone on this side of the Atlantic says:
Hello" into the mouthpiece. Then
he has to switch to another apparatus
to catch the answer from Europe. And
perhaps his friend overseas Is doing
the same thing. and the attempt at
conversation develops into a sort Of
hide-and-seek game. There was also
the problem of bringing the wireless
telephone to the home Of the user. II
one has to travel to Washington or
New Brunswick to use the wireless tel
ephone it Is scarcely a saver Of time
or money.
Doctor Alexanderson has devised q
system of separate sending and re-
ceiving antennae, the sending and re-
ceiving stations interconnected by a
wire line and further connected to the
exchange of the local telephone sys-
tenn, so that all Mrs. Jones has to do
when she wants to find out what Mr..
Jones is doing in Paris tonight Is to

Konrad Detzler, a German army en-
pineer who had been hiding In the New

the war, has come back to civilization
and now is in an internment camp in
Australia. Detzler's story Is on a par
with other romantic incidents OF the
war as it affected the South sea.

pitcher in baseball, and Bill Killifer,

he lost them he lost more than Alex

The invention OF the barrage re-

sought way out Of the difficulty, ans
appeals for a solution were brought Ia
Doctor Alexanderson by Lieutenant
Paternot of the French mission In this
country The solution, which was
adopted by the French and American
governments after its first demonstra-
ton was called the "barrage receiver.
because the word "barrage" has tho
original meaning Of stOppage preveIl-
ton. The barrage receiver success
fulyl shut out the vibrations sent oGf
from Germany with the object OF de-
stroying the allied intercommunica-'
ton. Its principle can be compared
to that of an instrument which. II ap-
piled to the ear, would silence the
shrieking of steam whistle ten yards
away, while enabling the listener to-
hear perfectly the spoken word a hun
dred yards off. Aside from its war
time use the barrage receiver has eI-
tensive possibilities for peacetime de-
velopment. Through its use the num-

of the ball players on his team.
There's a lot Of psychology in base
ball. Imagine, II you will, the conf
dence OF ball club going into the
field with Alexander, in top form, in
the box and Killifer behind the bat.
Figures do not lie and they show
that Alexander wins three games out
Of four he pitches. These ball play
ers know that they have only one
chance ii four Of losing with him
and play up to the confidence that
knowledge breeds.
Took Away Confidence.
So aside from losing pitcher who
would add in the neighborhood Of 80
victories to the clubs season totals,
Baker took away confidence that
would bring other victories.
This fact Is one Of basebalrs first

American league champions Of half

letics have finished a poor last.

lieves the latter, good Judge Of
human nature, will handle the tenn
peramental star properly. And the
shifty first baseman dotes on putting

THAT is McGraw's style Of base

possible for the Giants to score many
runs.
Il have not had much Of q chance
to study McGraw's method Of playing

and the pitchers Of the National league
are going to be kept busy watching
Hal when runners are on the bases.
Then take Burns, Kauff. Young.
Zimmerman, Doyle, and McCarty. and
you have a group Of 800 hitters that
will make life miserable for the twirl
ers In the league. The Giants are the
players the Cubs will have to beat for
the pennant.
II do not think Chase will run
amuck under McGraw, as he has done
on other clubs. His recent experience
has. I think, taught him a lesson. I
believe McGraw will have no difficulty
In getting him to play the brand Of
ball Of which he Is capable.
"Chase is the type Of player who
has to be petted little. He must be
made to think he Is brainy player,
that he knows when to do the right
thing. and has to be permitted to use
his own judgment considerably. Nc
Graw may allow him to do that. II
he does Chase will play as smart
game as he ever did In his life."
