.Suit Against Broadcasting
Station Expected to De-
eide Question.

By NEA SeTUtCe
NEW YORK, March 21.--Monopoly
or Government control?
This question will be answered soon
err than expected through suit brought
by the American Telegraph and Tel
ephone Company against broadcasting
station WIN, and through the action
of the Federal Trade Commission in
investigating the alleged radio trust
It is the first big call for a show
down in the radio broadcasting field.
Out Of this fight, eventually, one Of
three results may be expected. Either
L. Radio broadcasting will be con-
fined to a select few broadcasting
stations licensed by a central mo-
nopolistic agency; or
z. Programs will be broadcast gen
orally by Government licensed sta
tons. under direct control of the Gov
erument; or
3. The Government itself will take
over the entire broadcasting field and
run it as It does the postoff1ce.
These are the probabilities in view,
as deduced from interviews with men
deeply interested in the court action
now pending.

URGES DISAPPOINTMENT OF
 SECTION HEAVYWEIGHT
Chairman Hull of I. C. c. Thinks De-
 lay in Enforcing This Would Prove Beneficial.

Washington, April II. Chairman
 Hal. Of the interstate commerce com mission today told the house merchant
 marine committee that in his opinion Il would be highly desirable to post pone enforcement of section aS of the - merchant marine act which would give preferential railroad freight rates tc goods shipped in American vessels. he only authority by which the com mission could defer enforcement of Uhe section Mir. Hall said, would be on the ground that sufficient time should be allowed 10 provide for or derly operation Of its provisions. The commission previously had set the date for the section to go into effect ss May. 20.
 Chairman Hall urged enactment of the resolution of Representative New ton. republican. Minnesota, which would defer enforcement of the sec lion until July 1, 1923, 10 afford time to study the section.
 The commission believes, Mr Hall said, that the provision in regard 10 eniofcement, IS mandatory. When the shipping board certities that is has adequate tonnage to handle freight, he added, there is nothing left for us 10 do." but enforce this section.
 Prior to Commissioner Halls tcsti- mony, Norman Draper, of Washing ton. representing American meat packers, testified that American vcs- sells would secure the packers busi- ness if they would withdraw from rate conferences and cut prices below competing lines. Under such condi- ions. he said, packers would use American ships. even if they were slower than foreign owned vessels. . Draper recommended that .amcri- can lines make blanket rate cut and guarantee always 10 offer lower rates than competitors, By such an ar ransement, he added. rate wars would be practically non- n-existent.

Miss Wills Has Good
 Chance Of Victory

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-If Hell en Wills. can raise her game to the heights she is capable of she has a splendid chance of defeating SuZanne e Lenglen in the Olympic games In Paris, believes William c. Fuller, the national champions chief advisor and tennis coach. Miss Wills will be No. 1 player on the women's tennis team the United States will send to France.
 T saw Lenglen in 1921." said Full CT. and she is just as good now, if not better than she was then. She is the most versatile player l ever saw. I would call her female Til- den.' She has everything and any woman who expects to defeat her must have everything to give in re- turn. EThat is why I say Helen mus: raise her game. She can win but she needs much improvement"
 Fuller last year predicted that Hell en would defeat Mrs. Molla Mallory, then champion, and she more than fulfilled his prophecy.
 "Helen's game" said Fuller. 'is very much better than when she re- turned from the east last fall. She is covering court faster, slowness on her feet has been one of her great faults. Her sense of anticipation Is keener, her volleying shows vast im- provement, in fact she is playing a much more aggressive game all around n
 Her service, however, is still far from what I want 1t to be-"

FIGHTERS SCARCE FOR U. 5. OLYMPIC

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Except in the light-heavy and heavyweight divi- sions. the United States at present Is poorly equipped to enter the ring against the nations of the world in the boxing numbers of the Olympic championships. Most of the mem- bers of the small classes who fought in the Antwerp games under the American colors have since become professional fighters or eubsided from the game altogether.
 Eddie Eagan, formerly of Yale. now attending school in England, and Brl Spengler, the New York pAAfce- man. are the two heavies of tho 1S2o team who are still available.
 Sam Mossberg, the middleweight; Frankie Genaro, Olympic flyweight champIo4-. and the Zivic brothers, Pete and Jack of Pittsburg are pro- fessionals. So are Archie Walker, formerly national amateur light weight champion, and Sid Terriss, who once held the featherweight title Of them all. Terriss and Jack Zivic have done best in the professional ring, but their prosperous example in the professional game has attracted many good amateur prospects to the same calling. Most of the latter are doing rather poorly in the paid game, and the net result Is that neither the Olympic team nor the boxers them selves receive any benefit from the. imperfect development of such anna teurs,

Large Galleries Follow John D. Ouer Golf Links

ORMoND BEACH, Fla, Jan. B. (By Associated Press.)-John D. Rockefeller Is playing his daily round of golf on the Ormond Beach links for the eighth successive winter and although the season was scarcely started. early visitors are forming daily galleries and follow him over the course.
 They are curious to know why he only plays eight holes of golf; how he plays golf; how far he drives how he is dressed for the game, and if he really gives dimes away when he makes good shot.
 Why he always quits at the eighth hole has always seemed mystifying game at golf should end either at the ninth or eighteenth hole.
 But after following him for a round or two, his reason for stopping at the eighth hole Is seen to be a matter of logic rather than a lack Of strength, 1t is said.~ s|-s
 The ninth hole on most courses brings player back in. the vicinity of the club house or starting point. one of the oldest in the state, is laid ort in the old style, and the ninth hole is a considerable distance from No. 1 tee. A motor road crosses the course in back of the eighth green, and it is here that MT. Rockefeller's automobile is parked.
 By eliminating the 500-yard ninth hole. and walking the short distance to his car from the eighth green, MT. Rockefeller saves that much time for motoring before luncheon. Eight holes never appear to tire MT. Rockefeller, observers say, and, if anything he has more energy and en- thusiasm on the eighth hole. Wears s5-Year Mark.
 MT. Rockefeller will be S5 years old next July and golfers say he plays a remarkably fine game for his age. He never walks hurriedly on the links. and his balls are hit with the same speed on the eighth hole as the first
 One day MT. Rockefeller played four separate balls on the eighth hole, which is 830 yards in length. and q good par four. The fairway is very narrow. with a different rough to the right and plenty of scrub pal metto to the left. Just a little slice or hook to the right or left means trouble. But Mir. Rockefeller invari- ably plays straight down the fair way. On this occasion Mir. Rocke- feller made a par four with all four balls.
 His tee shots average about 15o yards. and although he gets no great distance with wood he plays very accurate short game. Once he sank 14-foot putt before a motion pie ture camera and actually jumped with joy, members of the gallery said.

GIRLS TOURNEY TO
 DRAW MANY EWES
State Basketball Champion ship For Girls At Monte-
 valI0 In February

MoNTEvALLO, Ala. Jan. 3.-(Spe- cial.)-Interest manifested through out the state in the girls basketball tourney at Montevallo is far greater this year than even last year. Pre- limfnary games are being played in the various districts. so that in a short time winning teams will be announced. The tournament will be held February 21, 22 and 23. A beau tiful trophy will be given again this year to the winning team.
 The basketball tournament at Ala bama college at Montevallo in Feb ruary of 1923 developed a great in- terest in athletic sports for high school girls. It was the first time that anything of the kind was ever attempted in Alabama. With only 50 days for advertising and for teams to get ready 27 teams responded to the invitation and played a series of games, Selma, Ala, making the high est score and winning the loving cup. In the spring of 1923, a girls state basketball association was formed, and only teams that joined that as- sociation are allowed to enter pre- liminary contests for participating in the state contest at Montevallo in February, 1924. Teams were not all lowed to join the association after October, 1923. Teams were not al- lowed to join the association after October, 1923. However, in the short time allowed. 80 high schools en- rolled for their teams to enter the contests in their separate districts. Each congressional district will be entitled to send two teams to Monte- vallo, making 20 teams in all.
 In addition to the basketball tour nament, there will be three other contests-in home economies, express sion and art. Each high school wishing to enter any of these three contests may do so by sending two pupils; or, in the case of home eco- monies and art. if it is not convenient to send pupils, their exhibits can be sent. These exhibits will be dis played by the college, the exhibits competing in the contest as if rep resentatives of the school had been sent.
 In the home economies contest, the following have already signified their desire to send exhibits and two representatives: Phillips High school Birmin gham; Ensley High school Woodlawn High school, Dallas County High school, Plantersville; Banner High school. Banner. A number of other high schools are in correspon- dence concerning this exhibit, but have not yet definitely decided to enter.
 In the art contest. Woodlawn High school; Ensley High school; Philips High school. Birmingham: Chambers County High school. Milltown, have already formally enrolled for a dele gation of two from each school and an exhibit to be displayed.
 In the expression contest, high schools are invited to send two girls, one to deliver an original compost tion and the other a recitation. The following high schools have already enrolled for delegation to be pres ent: Autauga County High school, Prattville; Alexandria High school, Alexandria,. Chambers Co"-+-- High school, Milltown; Clay County High school. Ashland; Banner High school, Ramer.,
 Other high schools will. no doubt. be added to the list in few weeks.

Marines Co High Tn World OF Box Fights

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Three ma- r1nes. the first veterans of the Am phibean corps to become famous in the prize ring since the days of George La Blanche. are now near the top of the profession.
 They are Gene Tunney, who fought with the corps in France, now holder of the American light-heavyweight t title; Ad Stone, the Philadelphia light-heavy. who is almost ready to meet Tunney, and Nate Goldman. the lightweight who floored Leftie Lewis Tender three times in six rounds in bout in Philadelphia on New Years Day.
 Goldman served not only during the war but. one full term of enlist mont afterward.
 LaBlanche was the French Can adfan, better known as the marine who knocked out the original Jack Dempsey with the pivot punch after a long fight in 1890. However, La Blanche has little class to oarry him forward aft% his fluke victory. He fought 33 bouts of record thereafter. In two of them he quit; in nine he was knocked out: six others he lost on points, and once he was forced to retire,
