CHANNEL JUMPERS
MAY FARE POORLY
Pirate Stations Likely to Be
Given Undesirable Waves
April "a.

The wave jumpers Of the air who
have usurped the ether channels of
other broadcasting stations since July
/. 1926 NAV find themselves thrust
into undesirable channels after April
"a.
IT. A. Bellows. member of the
Federal Radio Commission, said yes
terday that 129 radio stations among
the 1872 now operating will find diff
Guilty in getting diserable status and
a temporary permit to operate after
next Sunday. They are the ones who
abandoned the original wave length
assigned them by the Commerce De-
partment and operated at what is
technically known as intermediate
frequency"
Radio communications have been
set 10 kilocycles apart by national and
international agreement, and the 129
stations have been operating without
regard to this, producing what Com
missioner Bellows declared to be In
reference on two wave lengths be-
sides their own.
Each of the wave jumpers is being
assigned a new wave for future opera
ton and will have to stick 10 it under
penalty, though the channel allotted
may be below the 220-meter sector of
the broadcasting band, which Is not
highly congested.
Mr.. Bellows said further that some
of the high-power stations operating
in residential districts may find that
their power rating has been sharply
cut down, though the number of in
stalIations likely to be affected has
not been determined. In the view of
the commission, both steps are likely
to result in more advantageous condi'
tions to the listening public.

600 TEMPORARY RADIO
PERMITS GIVEN TO DATE
Wave-Jumpers Assigned to "Pen-
ance Chamber as Penalty
for Interference.

More than 600 radio broadcasting
stations have been granted temporary
permits to broadcast pending issuance
of short-term licenses for prelim-
mary period of experimentation, the
Federal Radio Commission announced
today. Only about 1870 of the licenses
have been announced. The others
will he made public before April "a,
the time when all stations must have
licenses or discontinue operation un-
der penalty of law
Most of the licenses already issued
are between 220 and 545 meters, the
broadca sting range which has been
found most practicable from the eX-
perience of operators over the past
three years Some of the wave-jump-
ers who left their assigned channels
after July l will have to he satisfied
with undesirable broadcasting chan
nels and will not be permitted after
April "a to continue interference with
other broadca sters who have remained
in their assigned wave channels.
The sector of the broadcast range
from 200 to 900 meters is regarded by
the Radio Commission as a kind of
penance chamber for those broadcast
ers who cause interference or con-
tribute to chaos in the air.

REJUVENATING TUBES.
Success of Plan Depends Upon
Equipment.

While it is true that some radio fans
have had success in the process of re-
iuvenatiug tubes, nevertheless 1t is
the opinion of many experts that this
plan is not wholly practicable. Doubt
less the success of such plan depends
upon the rejuvenating equipment used
as we'll as the ability of the operator
to use it properly.
Many make a mistake In overload
ing the tube without following it up
with gradual period of overlooking.
In some cases just the reverse Is the
situation, as. for instance. where the
radioist decides to give the old tube a
Commute period of just moderate over
loading, failing to give it good shot
of power at the outset.

RADIO RELIEF SEEN

An immediate measure of relief for

felt in a considerable reduction in in

-RY DICK M1LLER,

Dave Mitchell, former assistant
golf pro at South Grove, as well as
unofficial golf course record holder,
shattered his own mark last Sun
day, it became known today, and
banged out a sensational So for
eighteen holes.
Mitchell previously had scored IS
on the par 70 course. With his
drives consistently at 300 yards or
more, he took advantage of his long
putting ability, and, shot brides and
eagles.
Witnesses, Miss Althea Miller,
Conn Sheridan, w. r. Smith and
several persons in foursomes ahead
and behind Mitchell, verify the
statement that all puts were played
into the cup, and nothing was con-
ceced.
On the sixth hole Mitchell shot a
350-yard drive to the green. On
the third hole he holed out an ap-
proach from off the green for an
eagle, and holed a twelve-foot
putt for a birdie 2 on the seven
tenth hole. He was six under par
on the first nine, and was one
stroke over par on two holes on the
second nine to finish che under par.

Tunne!y Gets
More Out of
Camp Boxing
Gene Has Better Workers
Than Jack-Wiggins
Best of Lot.
BY CLARK B. KELSEY,

CHICAGO, Sept. IA cut over
Gene Tunney's eye and Jack Demp-
seys fear of becoming overturned
before their fight two weeks hence
kept them from working with their
sparring partners today.
Dempsey planned to devote the
day to golf, while Tunney was to
go through the usual setting up ex-
ercises, bag punching and roadwork.
So far it appears Tunney has re-
ceived more for his money from his
sparring mates than Dempsey has,
because Tunney's training oppon-
ents show more ability than the
half dozen youths who engage with
Jack.
Chuck Wiggans, ndfanap o lis
heavyweight, who has been fighting
for some thirteen years, nearly
brought disaster to the Tunney
camp when he brought his right
across Tunney's face Tuesday and
cut the champions right eye.
That was the cause of Tunney's
plan to omit the boxing today, but
it was expected the cut soon would
heal.
The shifty Hoosier is by far the
best sparring partner in either
camp, and he mixed it freely with
Gene for three rounds Tuesday,
putting his right to the champions
body and his left to Tunney's head.
The latter landed several telling
blows on Virgins broad nose. Both
fighters showed clever footwork.
In both Tunney's and Dempsey's
camps are fighters who have not
shown often in the public workouts,
but it was believed that Eddie
Eagan, the oxford amateur, may
have been boxing in private with
the title holder, while Dave Shade,
one Of the fastest middleweights in
the business, may have been work
ing with Dempsey in secret.
Tunney spends much of his time
roaming about the huge estate,
which will be a golf course when
completed. AS lie walks about, he
clasps his fists tightly about "grips"
-snall steel slugs, which he uses
to strengthen his hands.

Action Scarce
in Punch BowL'
Main Go Event

The poorest main go bout staged
at Ft. Harrison punch bowl this
season was put on Tuesday night by
Red Fitzsimmons and Chick Burns,
both of San Antonio. Fitzsimmons
appeared willing to make fight of
it. but Burns apparently was very
much indisposed.
Burns had the punching power
and took trouble to connect every
once in a while. On general points,
Chuck had it by a shade. On prin-
cipals, 1t was Fitzsimmons' by a
wide margin. At times it seemed the
bout should have been stopped and
Burns ordered to show some action.
Other Times decisions:
Shifty Dando, Columbus, Ohio, shaded
Tony, Ross, Pittsburgh. eight rounds.
Billy Long. Terre Haute. shaded Kid

Billy Moore won by technical knock

What probably were the two best
bouts Of the evening, from the spec
tators' point Of view, were the
Dando-Ross and Epstein-Nasser
battles. Dando had a peculiar style
and was on the go every second of
the time. His eagerness to do some
fighting made him a popular figure.
Epstein and Nasser, two little fell
lows, put CT a real exhibition. Flying
feet and flying arms kept the bout
moving at top speed.
