NEW YORK, May H.
Many of the largest music
publishing houses today an
nounced they would permit
music to be broadcast free from
radio stations. This action was
taken after the Music Pub
fishers Association had advised
its members to do so, owing
to the chaotic and expert
mental state of radio broad
casting"
The action comes on the
heels of the decision by the
American Society of Com
posers, Authors and Publishers,
that the radio stations must
pay license fee to use copy
righted music.
The firms permitting their
published music to be used free
include the Oliver Ditson Com
pany and B. H. Woods Com
pany, both of Boston; Paul A.
Schmitt, of Minneapolis, and
Clayton Sunny, of Chicago,
besides many New York firms.

BL0ODVORTH UPHELD
BY JIMMIE CLEMENTS
Arlington Mounder, Accused OF
IneligibiIity, May Be Rein
stated on Payment Of $500

ARLINGTON, July 2o.-Tee
news dispatch from Americas sss--
ing that a telegram from Leslie n
Conner, secretary 10 Judge Lands.
asserted that Luther Bloodwor-h.
star pitcher Of the Arlington stair
is an outlaw and ineligible 10 play
in organized baseball, created
quite q stir here yesterday.
And an interview with Jimmie
Clements, Arlington'S catcher ana
who has been closely associated
with BloOdworth for the past five
years, gave out the following state
ment in Bloodworth's behalf;
"Bloodworth Immediately after
his graduation from Mercer univer-
sity received a telegram from Zinn
Beck of the Columbia club in the
South Atlantic league offering him
a berth with that club, terms ac-
cepted, but BloodWorth never re
ported.
Columbia placed him on the vol
untary retired list. He played anna
teur baseball that summer the toll
lowing spring he received con
tract and reported to Columbia,
played two games with the club and
was ruled ineligible by J. H. Far
rell for playing against .ineligibIes
while on voluntary retired list.
Subsequently Mr.. Farrell ruled
that Bloodworth would be eligible
to play organized baseball on pay
ment of fine of $500 along with
other players"
Clements further stated that
Bloodworth did not know it was
against the rules of organized base
ball to play against ineligibles and
certainly his action did not involve
moral turpidtude and in no way
can be classed with Joe Jackson,
Cicotte and others who were drop
ped for selling out in the world
series of 1920. Mr.. Clements also
stated that Columbia endeayored to
get Bloodworth to report to their
club but he has given up all inten-
tions Of playing professional base
ball.

uriug that the presence Of his cad
die at the hole wall nrea6 some OF

has Il player such a right?
The player in sending his caddie
to stand at the hole is within his
rights according to the strictest in
depreciation of the rule. In all
PROBABILITY his presence there may
break some of the force of the wind
and prevent it from affecting the
course OF his ball. If so, ne is en-
titled to that break given him by
the rules. The. caddie, however,
must in no way move or otherwise
try to influence the action of the
wind on the ball.
What amateurs other than Bobby
Jones have figured in a national
open championship to the extent of
winning or trying for the title?
In 1913 Francois 0uimet haG
with Ray and Warden and won tae
pIayoff. Two years later Jerome
Irayers went over. The following
year Chick Evans, with 286, the
lowest score ever made in an open,
captured the title.
Is it permissible for a player haV-
ing a short putt to place his hama
in the hole and putt the ball into
his hand?
While this is often done in
friendly matches, it is Of course a
breach of the rules in match COM
petition. There is always a chance
that the ball will jump the hole if
putted too strongly placing of the
hand in the hole eliminates this
possibility. Such an act would tend
to disqualify a competitor.
Two partners in a four ball match
accidentally exchange balls and
play out the hole that way and APP
parently win it. Then the mistake
be discovered before they hole out
if a penalty is to be inflicted?
The rules specifically state that
the player accidentally lose the hole
when partners exchange balls. No
consideration can be given the fact
that the happening was accidental
and that the players holed out the
wrong ball before it was discovered.

pire declared the runner out who
was standing on second. What
about the two runs that had cross
ed the plate?
There are runners on second
and third and two men out. With
the count three balls and two strikes
the next pitch at which the batter
struck was. a bad ball. 1t eluded
the catcher and went to the grand
stand.
The runners on second and third
crossed the plate and the batsman
reached second.
The batsman in going to sec
ond failed to touch first. The bali
was thrown to that base, and the
umpire ruled him cut, retiring the
side. What about the Two runs
that had crossed the plate?
THE INTERPRETATION
In the first case, where the bats
man received a base on balls and
failed to touch first base, when he
managed to reach second, because
the fourth ball was a wild pitch, the
two runs scored.
The batsman was entitled to first
base, hence there was no chance to
make a play in which the batsman
failed to reach first because he
failed to touch that base on his way
to second.
In the other case. where the two
runs scored on third strike that
was wild pitch, the batsman reach
ing second but failing to touch first,
the two runs did not score.
Failure to touch first on the
wild third strike simply made a
third out in which the batsman fail
ed to reach first, and no runs can
score on such play

CLAUDE WILSON IS WINNER IN GREAT
 GO WITH O'DOWD
FIashy Birmingham Bantam Wins Greatest Battle Of
 His Career

PATERSON, N. J.. July 20.-(Spe- cial. )-Claude Wilson, flashy little Birmingham bantam, won the great est battle of his career here Friday night when he won a declsiCn, by unanimous agreement of newspaper men and judges, over Eddie ODowd, one of the country's leading bantams. It was a fast 12-round bout and the young southern battler led all the way. He was in tip-top shape and battling in the best form of his career.
 Eddie O'Dowd has met all of the best bantams of the country. year ago in Madison Square Garden he gave Joe Lynch the nearest call he has ever had since he took over the crown. It was a mo- decision bout, but was called a draw by newspaper men, although many contended that ODowd outpointed d Lynch. O'Dowd has beaten Pal Moore and many of the leading fight CTS of his class.
 Friday nights victory flashes the name of Wilson up among the lead ing fighters of his weight.
 Tommy Tompkins, Wilson's mana ger, sent Claude against O'Dowd in the face of protests from friends and advisers in Birmingham, who con- tended that O'DoWd was too good a man for Wilson at this stage of his career However, Tommy believed in Wilson's ability and closed the bout. As a result he has established the Birmingham fighter well up among the leaders and started him on the road to chance at the national title,

 Friends of Mir.

Lifeguards will be on hand to go in after MT. Abell should he fall to emerge from his Imprisonment in the allotted period.
 The mystifying underwater event will be the finale of swimming and diving exhibition given by Abell at Cascade Plunge. in which he will H. lustrate many new strokes used in swimming, and all kinds of fancy diving.
 In the Monte Cristo underwater act, MT. Abell will be placed in a sack, the top of which will then be securely fastened With large ropes. After the sack has been tied, and the audience has been allowed to test the bonds, the sack will be weighted with 5o-pound shot, then lowered into 10 feet of water. It will be MT. Abells job to get out of the sack as best he can under the water.

SPORT OUTLOOK
 AT ALABAMA FOR FALL IS BRIGHT
Expect Strong Line Under Direction Of Coach Wade
 And Van de Graft

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 2o.- Just what Alabama state college will have on the football gridiron during the coming year Is a matter of spec ulation at this season of the year, despite the fact that King Baseball reigns supreme.
 The University of Alabama alum nus takes this attitude:
 "The Crimson Tide will be better this fall than that of 1922. It will be more consistent with a more sea- soned crew of men to pick the squad from. Coach Scott has been building for the past few years for the flu ture-that future was 1923. and de- spite the fact that Ill health forced him to retire before that date, his shoes are to be filled with worthy successor. Anyway I'd like to be In Syracuse, N. Y. when the Tide takes it's northern invasion.."
 The alumnus continues: "The line will lose several veterans, it Is true, but with Van de Graff and Wade to coach the linesmen. we should worry. Remember the line Vanderbilt had last year under Wade. Watch Ala bama."
 The other state operated institu- ti0n has alumni that arc far from pessimistic. One was heard to say several days ago:
 Of course we are going to miss Mike, and Shilling and Shirey. too. But a great man dies but he leaves will go forward with the same Tiger so worthy a son. So with Auburn. Some one will fill in. and Auburn spirit of old.
 "Boozer Pitt. Roby and Wilson will be no joke when 1t comes to coach ing those Plainsmen. With praoti- cally the same line back for '23. and with Ford back in tho quartet and Peterson and several other promising backs. Auburn Is not to be under rated. Watch her against Centre and the Army"
