League. which has been sliding
the last few years. may not start
this season and the fall Of the
circuit can be traced to poor
management.
Managers OF the various clubs
last year signed players to con-
tracts which called for operate
salaries. When they drew up the
documents they penned their
own death sentence.
Some OF the basketeers were
paid as princely as $500 a week.
Small wonder Philadelphia

the campaign. There is not a

MOT more than ten years
ago the best basketball players
in the country were lucky II
they made half of $500 in sea-
son.
Back in the days OF the
Philadelphia League, such
heroes OF the indoor game as
Baetzel. Mallon. Fosarty. Kink-
aide and Markward received SO
a game and the circuit was a
success.
eat that time there was plenty
OF community interest, the
games drew large crowds and
the club owners were able 10
show a profit at the end OF the
season. Now they dig and dig
and dig some more until the
pockets are empty.
THE lesson has been taught
and the wise ones have learned.
GAN leagues should have
salary limits and the clubs
forced to respect them. The
players, of course. should not
be underpaid and neither should
the financial hackers be forced
TO lose money. There is a happy
medium. but IL Is not I'm figures

Coach Alec Crothers, who IS whip
ping the team into shape for the
coming campaign, hade a short adj

squad on the showing they have
made in practice. He also com
mented on the fact that the club. as
n whole, has shown such a wonderful
spirit in backing the team claiming
that football is so per cent spirit
and any team entering a game
knowing that the club membership
Is back OF them has the advantage
over their opponents every time.

Editor must contain name and ad-
dress of the sender. Only initials
will be published. Do not hesitate
to ask simple or elementary ques-
tIons. Every fair question will be
carefully answered.
@. a. Is 1t possible to get better
results by using four honey-comb
coils hooked up so that by means
of a dial switch any number can
be used? II so give a hook-up for
four honeycomb coils, a fixed con-
denser. galena detector and a
pair of phones.
b. j have a crystal set; two strand
phosphor bronze antenna 40 feet
long and about 40 feet high. Could
you give me the receiving range
of that set with a pair of 1.500 to
1000 ohms resistance phones?,
J.P.w.
A. a. You would destroy the eff
cheney OF the set by using a switch.
The particular advantage of honey
comb coils is the avoidance of dead
end losses which would result from
using switch as you suggest.
b. You will have to send in a dia-
gram of your hook up. IL possible

broadcasts were received from NOF

Amidst whistling noises, crack

there came solos, band selections
and addresses. The clearest mes

from Pittsburgh. which told of the
arrival of the Prince OF Wales at
Yokahoma on the battleship Re-
nown and of the prediction of
Christy Mathewson that the New
York Giants would win the world
pennant in the 1922 series. The
concert continued for more than
an hour. much to the delight of the
soldier patients and of the hospital
attendants present.
In spite OF unfavorable condi-

and surrounding wires. the concert
was a success. The broadcast from
