Christy Mathewson has two in the

And they are the only big league

How Doak Lost Out.
Doak's slips are famous. In 1920
he was pitching at Philadelphia. He
was leading, 5 to 0, entering the
eighth inning, when Cyrus Williams
dribbled one of those slow twisters
down the first base line.
The ball was felded by Jacques
Fournier, but when he looked around
to the bag for Doak, to his surprise
Bill was still on the rubber and VIII
liam was on first base with the only
hit of the game.

a wasted effort as the play is perfect

Occasionally the pitcher and catch

over, and invariably the boot proves

of millions of kilowatts; and suppose
we could find wave length where the
absorption in the passage of the wave
through space is sufficiently small as
to be negligible compared with the
amount of power.
Assuming first there were no re-
ceiving stations. Then the waves Is
suing from the sending stations would
encircle the globe and return to the
sending station. And if the wave
length is adjusted so that the return
wave comedies with the outgoing
wave, it will return its power. Thus
little power would be required from
the sending station to maintain such
system of high-power standing
waves. only enough to supply the
losses.
Suppose we elect a second station,
tuned for the same wave length as
! the sending station. 1t would reson-
ate with the standing electro-mav-
netic wave issuing from the sending
station, thereby stop its passage by
absorbing its energy. 1t would, as
we may say, punch a hole in the
standing wave sheet coming from thu
sending station.
Power would then flow into this
hole; the sending station would begir
to send out additional power to main
tain the wave sheet, and this power
would be received by the receiving
station.
This would give real radio power
transmission. Any receiving station
of suitable design would be able tc
pick up power from the universal
power supply carried by the standing
wave sheet covering the earth.

Saturday half holidays throughout

to invite the President to attend the
observance of the thirty-fifth ami
versary of the founding of the alli-
ance, to be held in New York No
vcmber H. Members of the delega-
tion said afterward the President did
not decline and that he expressed
himself in such a fashion as to give
them hope that he may attend.
They explained to the President that
the alliance has a membership or
25,000.000 persons in seventeen de-
nominations of the Christian Church.
Secretary of Interior Work accom-
panied the delegation to the White
House and made the introductions.

votes its activities to opposing com
