The recent death of Pop" Anson l of course opened up a flood of stories | about the old time baseball hero. l To my mind, the best one. they tell 1 on Anson goes something like this: l Anson was interviewed by an east
 ern sport writer a couple of years ago and about the first question fired at | Arson was:
 After all is said and done, who
 was the best hitter you ever saw" Anson," replied Pop without bat l ting and eye.
 Pop" Anson had a varied career after leaving base ball.. He conducted i billiard room. starred in play, "A Runaway Colt, served a term as city clerk of Chicago and did a rnonoIogue stunt in vaudeville for many years. But he was always in touch with his | old cronies of the diamond and with new players.
 Lucerne Blue, young Tiger first 1 sacker, expects to set better mark for himself with the bat this year than was batting from both sides of the
 plate. he'll hit 1efthanded exclu- | sively this year.
 George Cutshaw was signed by the l Detroit Tigers as a utility inf1elder to | fiji any gap that might be left by the
 tre o 9be soda Gf Es aad 2ee cut to
 shaw at second to help break in | Shortstop Rigney. Now George is | playing such a whale of a game at second that he'll probably stick there l for some time to come, regardless of
 the promise shown by one or two of the youngsters.
 Speaking of knockers, some of Ty l Cobb's Detroit friends are saying 1 that when he injured his ankle sliding | into base in an exhibition game be-
 fore the season opened he had no one
 to blame but himself-that he didn't 1 need to show off,. The difference
 between Cobb and lot of ball play
 CTS is that he always tries to give the
 public it's moneys worth. Wonder if
 all his knockers are playing their
 game to the limit even when there's nothing at stake.

What Won't Wireless DO?

Predictions OF the future posei.
bilities OF radio are running wild.
Never before in the history OF any
other new science have so many
applications been devised for It as
for wireless. It has even reached
the realms of the Psychic in its ever
increasing list of uses.
II seems every time an expert"
or authority" on the subject says
something he finds some new use for
radio. Many of these applications
are obvious 20 the layman. But
there are some which require the
weirdest flights of the Imagination
TO conceive OF their possibility.
Some predictions already made for
radio are
That physicians will diagnose
diseases from afar.
That school will be kept and SER
mons delivered by radio.
That light, heat and power will
be derived from radio frequency
waves.
That ships, submarines. automo-

Katzenbach said: 1T makes no diff
ference whether gambling is under
the guise OF charity, churches or
other institutions. such acts are in
fractions of the law. Surely a judge
cannot go around the State with
binders on. He sees these things
every day.
Card playing for money is an
infraction Of the law" Continuing.
the court said: Charity covers a
multitude of sins. In the name OF
charity such forms of gambling
are strongly prevalent"
Justice Katzenbaoh said II will be
the duty OF the grand jury to in
quire into all phases OF gambling.

money, the selling of chances on

MOUNTAINS BAR
RADIO WAVES
By NEA Service.

BY NEA Service.
LANCASTER, Cal. - Mountains
hinder radio broadcasting.
This fact was established recently
by Lee Roy Potter. whose station
is eight miles east OF here. when he
tried TO receive messages from com
paratively nearby transmitting sat
tions.
Potter was at Fullerton for years,
he says, where he had trouble hear
ing stations at Riverside, only 80
miles away. These stations at times
got reports from amateurs as far as
1000 miles north and east of them.
The cause of poor reception. Pot
ter learned was the mountain range
intervening between Fullerton and
Riverside. This also was the cause
of the weak signals Potter got from
San Diego. 30 miles away. although
the San Diego amateurs were able
to reach out to the north and east
with ease.
Now, at his Antelope Valley sta
tion, near here, Potter finds the sig
nails from Riverside and San Diego
come in much stronger than other
stations he had heard at Fullerton.
The reason for this, he believes, is
the natural passage allowed wireless
waves by Cajon Pass.
This" he says "allows an ethe-
real air strata on a level to this ele-
walton. while high mountains rise in
continuity. between here and Full
lerton."
