In your columns lately the regen-
erative sets have come in for a lot of
criticism by amateur broadcasters.
Please let me say that the average
person cannot afford the five to eight
tube sets, but can afford the three
tube regeneratiVe ones, which are un-
questioned in their ability for DIX
reception, and are. therefore, entitled
to use them With few exceptions
they are handled with very little dis
turbance while the code is anywhere
at any time. I can handle my set
equal to any of these amateur ex-
perts, and you cannot hear a peep,
so can and does the average operator.
But whether your tube is oscillating
or not, the code is there, and l have
had interference from that source SO
that the incoming stations signals
were drowned out entirely, while the
occasional squeal of the inexperienced
reCeneratiVe set operator bothers
only for the fraction of a second. So
why the code all the time and every
way. no matter how you operate your
set? Why do we have to put up with
1t? Give it its time and place and
keep it there. {. h. l..

'RED' GRANGE AIRS
 HIS SPORT VIEWS
Famous HanbaCk Addresses
 High School Boys

Detroit, Sept. 25 P)-Harod ORcdD Grange, twice chosen on Wal ter Camps All-American football team and considered by many as one of the greatest open field runners. discusses for the benefit of high school boys and others, the game as he knows it, in an article appearing in the October number of the Amer ican Boy.
 Hard work and the ability to take criticisms and suggestions-attri- butes easily applicable to other activ itics of high school, college and later years--is the advice Red" Grange offers the young asprant for grid iron glory.
 "G carry ice through the sumner writes Grange in explanation of his suggestion to keep fit. That's good for two reasons. It gives me q lot of walking. which hardens up my logs and strengthens my arms, shoul- dcrs and back with the lifting it en- tails.
 "Anothcr good thing for a chap to do is 10 keep himself accustomed to the feet of the ball. Right through thc summer throw q ball around and develop my passing. ] do a lit tle running on q track every day.
 The Illinois half back cautions youngsters on high school teams to take 1t easy. There's never any thing gained by working your head off the first few nights of practice.
 Tackle hard" he advises, 'the hard tacklcr is not so likely to get hurt as the slow tackIer. Also, obNl- ously, you will have n better chance of stopping the man if you go into him with a lot of force, At the same time you must be sure that you are not going to be headed so fast in one direction that the man with the ball can swcrye and get past you.
 Every backficld man should be q sure fire tacIler; he should also be strong in other ways, though. He should be fast, snre-footed, quick on his feet He must be able to start like a shot from a gun, to block well. to help from interference as efficiently as he carries the ball. Get low and and start fast"
 The "piy ot," the football trick which Grange has perfected to the discomforture of opposing lines and defensive backnelds, is stressed as ot first importance 10 the backfield men.
 "It is a good deal like tho basket ball pivot" he explains, consisting of a rapid whirling and change of direction. You'll find that often if you're tackled in the line or in the open field. 2, twisting pivot will shake the tacklor off, turn you out of his arms and permit you 10 go on for more yardage.
 "The big fault of many backs IS 'sncakinG with the ball. That means loring along half hoartcdly instead of running for all you're worth. TWO characteristics of tho open field run ming of q lot of great backs havc hcon long striHo~ rni high keen ac- tion. Another acc in inc hoI" Of tho runner Is 2 change in pace"
 Grange stresses tho importance ot going into tho game tc win. "nont let anybody tell you you're licked before the game commences. My eX- 1 pericnce is that tn" team that goes into any game knowing the fundh- mcntals of football and believing 1 that II has rool ch"""N of winning, | is best prepared"

Victory Made Certain When Mackmen Lose to Browns in II Innings Red Sox Shut Out Tygers -Ruth's Homer Beats White SoX.

New York. Sept. 25 R)-The American league pennant flies un- challenged at the Washington mast head today for the second consecu- tive season.

 Nine games ahead, Washington can lose all its remaining games and still take the flag. To Goose Cos lin, slugging outfiel1er of the cham pf6ns, goes a generous share of the glory for sewing up the title. After hitting d home run in the tenth in- ming to drive home the winning run Alex Ferguson easily subdued the Indians in the second game.
 Limiting the Tigers to four hits, Ruffing pitched shutout ball for the Red Sox yesterday, D to 0, reducing i. the chances of the Cobb men finish- ing better than fourth. The Tigers defeat coupled with the St. Louis victory over the Mackmen put De- troit two and one-half games be- hind the third place Browns.
 Babe Ruth beat the White Sox by homer in the tenth with the bases filled, making the score 6 10 g.. Babes twenty-lrst homer of the sea- son marked the Sixth time in his career that he had delivered D four play smash with the sacks jammed.
 Pittsburgh, with the National pen nant already won, could afford 10 suffer a shutout 4 10 0. at the hands of the Giants. but New York had Inc satisfaction of ciinching second 7. pace in spite of a 2 to 2 verdict sc9red by Cincinnati over Brooklyn @fit eleven innings.

los Angeles, Sept. 25 --- "I can lick any man my size in the world,'
 Bold words from the average man. Eut easy language from Ace Hud- kins. Ace is the wildcat lightweight from Nebraska. But his widnesI' isn't confined 10 the ring g-he's wild about himself outside of it.
 Of all the chesty lighters who ever came to Los Angeles, Ace is the ace, He is good fighter. If confidence, or that "T love me- spirit cuts much figure, Ace should be q worlds champion in no time at all.
 Hudkins first came into the lime light last spring when he won the Pacific coast lightweight crown from Joe Benjamin, the Hollywood Shcik Hrdkins handed Joe the worst lac ing he ever had in his life. Tn fact, Joe has not been in the ring since that fatcful night in Jack Doyle 8 Vernon arena.
 Ace just returned from the middle west where he coppod a newspaper decision over Sid Ferris. His first workout was mostly one. of the mouth. Ace could no more keep from telling his fighting friends what q sensation he was in Chicago than he could keep from eating.
 Honestly" he said, mo light weight ever cr"@tcd a bigger sensa ton there than I did l was the first hoy 10 fill Mullons' gymnasium in working out in years"
 Hudkins is getting down to busi- ness on the coast again and is ready to fight any and all corners. "Just give mo shot at Jimmy Goodrich and there'll be q new king of the lightweights," he boasts,
 More bold words. Eut the funny part is there is lot of truth in them. Ace is slated for that crown once worn by Benny Leonard.
 He is not yet "punch goofov." But he Is just crazy enough 10 kick him, self onto the thronc-a0d off of fl into oblivion again within thc next two or three years.

 New York, Sept. 25 Footballs steady march upgrade to new heights of competition and popular interest promises to go forward with increased momentum in the season which has its main kiCkof1s tomor- row in various sections of the coun- try.
 The campaign of 1924, startling in many aspects, set new marks all Ialong the line but 1925 is expected to see. most of these records dis placed. With new and gigantic sta dia spreading up throughout the college world. this falls battles should shatter all previous attend lance standards.
 The steady growth of public inter- est in the game will be spurred on in the coming weeks by an unusual array of brilliant conflicts, east and west, with more than two score in- tersectional frays---a record number tn itsclf-adding to the traditional list of attractions. IntcrscCtionaI Games
 This intersectional strife, stretch- ling through the season. has note- worthy start tomorrow when two colleges whose teams stood at the | top in 1924 come to grips at South Bend, Ind. These are the eleyens of Notre Dame. national champions of | last fall, and Baylor university of Texas, champions of the southwest eIn conference.

 Notre Danes showing this season, on top of the loss of all eleven reg. ulars of Knute Rockne's 1924 title- holding array. will be one of the items of major interest. It seems unlikely that the Hoosicrs will pre- sent anything like the formidable front they displayed last year, with their famous -Four Horsemen" lead- 1 ing the charge. but Rockne has q wealth of good materia with which to carry on,

 Many of the individual satellites of 1924 have passed from the grid iron stage but the most brilliant of all--Red Grange of Illinois-will be back 10 captain his team in his final season.
 Will he be stopped or will he carve q lasting place for himself in the football hall of fame?
