Different binding materials were
applied to a slngle-layer coll. just
enough to cover the entire surface.
The coils were then dried thoroughly.
Since measurements were difficult, I'M

test is apparent when we are told that
In some cases the resistance OF coil

Of an ohm than u coil to which no

A wooden pole supports a pipe cut

the tuning coil as shOayn. The pipe is
supported on long porcelain lnsulators
and Is topped with large ball. A
counterp0lse Is used instead OF
ground connection. The antenna Is
fed through a radi0-frequency trans
mission line SO that the antenna can
be located at some distance from the
transmitfer itself.
The horizontal or assigned wave

The fundamental frequency. however,
is not quite so close to that OF the

Also, the full possible advantage has

GOLF TOURNEY PLAN
WOULD AID PLAYERS

Golf tournament dates will not i'm.
pose such a burden of continuous play
on tourney entrants this year in the
fixtures around Washington If the
recommendations of the executive
committee of the District Golf Asso.
citation are adopted by the latter at
Its annual meeting two weeks hence.
Meeting at the home OF Herbert T.
Shannon. 3104 Cleveland avenue. last
night, the committee drew up a tenta-
tive schedule which provides several
weeks without scheduled events and
relieves the season of much Of the
tension of continuous tournament com
petition. The schedule, 1t was pointed
out, is only a tentative one and must
be Endorsed by the clubs before be-
coming permanent.
The committee also discussed con
tinuauon Of the interclub matches
which Jagged in interest last year, and
very definite opposition to their con.
tinuance was manifested by members
present The suggestion was made
that If any matches be held this year
a rigid schedule be dispensed with
and that the matches be confined to
challenge affairs.
The first date selected was for the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association indi.

Golf and Country Club. May &c. ~,

The Washington club Will not bold

Indian Spring was assigned April

nament will be held May 81. 20 and %
while Columbia will follow on June 9

schedule, leaving the first week ir

to hold its tournament in the Spring
and would like the first week In May
but will take a Fall date.

I believe this demonstration in De-
troit held first place until that Oc-
tober day In 1924 when Washing
ton defeated the New York Giants in
the seventh game Of the world series,
an extra-inning game that Is hard to
match for thrills. The demonstration
started less than one minute after
the game ended and continued until
after daybreak the following morn

ing Washington world champions, the

surrounded the players and went mad
with Joy. 1t was with difficulty that
they got to their dressing rooms. The
mob stayed on and waited for them
to change clothes. They had great
trouble getting out Of the park.
Tribute to Game.
The scenes that night will live a
long time-the Capital Of the Nation
gone made over base ball, q wonderful
tribute to the game!
can't forget one incident Of that
Washington celebration. Umpire Bill
Dineen. who worked in the series,
strolled around town. mfngling with
the frantic mob. Dineen would pick
on some unusually excited person and
ask: whats all the excitement about,
neighbour" The man would tell
Dineen, that Washington had won a
world championship. and Dineen
would ask, What for?" The men
would answer base ball. Of course.
Dineen would continue, who'd they
play?" After he narrowly escaped be-
ing mobbed few times. he decided to
quit.
But tho demonstration that stands
out in my mind as the greatest Of
all is not the one in Detroit, nor the
one in Washington, but the celebra-
ton accorded the Baltimore Orioles
when they won their first pennant in
1894. the year that the great Baltt-
more machine became organized and
got going smoothly.
The Orioles cinched the champion
ship in Cleveland, but they had to
play series in Chicago and finish
the schedule before returning East.

lACOSTE IS winner
OF INDOOR NETTITLE

NEW YORK, February 23.-Rene
Lacoste, Wimbledon and French hard
court tennis champion, succeeded
Jean Borotra as the American indoor
title holder yesterday when he de-
feated his countryman in the final
round Of the tournament at the Sew
enth Regiment Armory.
A gallery of $500 spectators. filing
the armory almost to capacity, saw
the two ranking players from the land
of Lafayette celebrate Washington's
birthday by putting up one Of the
most brilliant struggles that ever
brought an indoor championship to a
close The score was 1913, 6-3,
2-6, 6-3.
Frustrated by Borotra in his effort
to win the singles crown In the round
before the semi-finals. William Tilden
rose to supreme heights in the final
Of the doubles and daZzled the gallery
with his destructive hitting power as
ne won the championship with Fred
c. Anderson.
In a iuctuating battle of five sets
against Vincent Richards and Francis
T. Hunter. the champion and his
Brooklyn partner broke through in the
twenty-second game Of the fifth set,
after having been within a point of
defeat In the eighteenth game. and
brought the two-hour struggle to an
end in their favor at So, 6-3, Ga.
3-6, 12-10.
Lacoste played perfect tennis from
the start to the last with the excep-
ton of a period in the third set. His
defense was almost inpenetrable, SO
inexorably did he get the ball back In
the long driving rallies. and his ac-
curacy in knitting through the mar
rowest openings was uncanny. Bo.
rotra, playing in his most brillian
style, was crushed by the neverfail-
ing steadiness of machine.
But the younger Of the two French
men was more than a machine. He
played with the generalship Of a mas
ter, trapping Borotra with perfectly
timed lobs. forcing him out Of position
will full-length drives to the corners
and going to the net at Just the right
moments. These moments were few.
however. for It was with his marvel
Gus forehand and backhand drives
that he broke down Borotra's defense
and brought him TO the point Of eX-
hauStion early in the final set.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, February 23.-The
M success of no two major
league clubs will be watched
with greater interest this season
than the rival American and Ma
tional League teams of Boston.
When H. II. Frazee left the Ameri-
can League situation in Boston fair
ly well wrecked by using his base
ball club to lift him in his other en-
terprises while the ball club went to
seed, the situation caused every
owner IN the American circuit to
growl nightly.
Possibly the New York club
growled least. The two colonies
were SO busy absorbing what Frazee
had to offer in order to build up
strong rival for the New York Ma
tional club that they didn't have
time to shed many tears.
But the remainder of the league felt
the sting of non-prosperity which the
Boston situation carried, and yelled
for relief. At one time one OF the
most prosperous clubs in the Ameri-
can League, the Boston Americans,
with Frazee bossing the finances and
Ed barrow struggling with the man
arement. had slipped to mediocrity.
The Yankees finally ripened and
were successful in every way. But
the success In New York was partly
offset by the loss of the rich harvests
that had been reaped in Boston.
Red Sox Still Weak.
New owners for the Boston club
finally were procured. and with Bobby
Quinn to handle the finances and Lee
Fohl to run the team. the American
League entered upon the task or re-
gaining it's lost ground in Boston. The
American was sure II could overtake
It's rival shortly. for National League
sentiment was pretty we'll frosted In
Boston.
The lack of success in getting the
Red Sox to the front and the recent
successes of the Boston National club
were most painful to the American
League, which now is worrying might
ily lest the Braves steal such q march
in patronage in 1926 that they Will get
a stranglehold on New England.
There has been some criticism re
Gently of the management OF the Red
SoX by those who expected TO see tne
team change overnight from III iosei
TO a sure winner, and some of that
criticism has been emanating from the
American League. Quinn, however,
is hopeful and insists that he Will
get there If left alone.
Fight Sunday Ball.
1t is a strange thing that. in con-
trast to the professional promoters.
the hackers and organizers Of twilight
leagues in New England do not wish
Sunday base ball. for which refer
endurn has been started. They insist
that the twilight league idea Is one
of the best things that New England
has tried and that they are interest
ing hundreds in base ball who are
benefiting more as players than they
would benefit as spectators at profess
sional games.
The professional interests are
strongly backing the Sunday base
ball proposal, feeling it would go far
toward pulling Boston base ball out
Of it's financial morass.
Should Sunday base ball carry In
Massachusetts, the East would have
circuit of Sunday cities with only one
break-Philadelphia In that city all
efforts to legalize Sunday games have
been blocked.
