SHORT WAVES USED
FOR LEAGUE TALKS
Regular international Broad
casting OF Sessions May
Result From Trials.

Regular international broadcasting oi
the sessions of the League of Nations
may be the result of the trial broad
casts on short waves upon which the
League is now getting reports at Ge-
neva. Switzerland. Those Americans
owning short wave sets, who heard the
trials. have been asked to drop post
card to the seeretariat of the League OF
Nations and describe the strength and
clarity of the signals.
The tests were conducted from Sta
ton POLL, at Kootwijk, Holland, trans
mitting on 1874 meters and using $4,000
watts of power The TRANSMISSION was
by telephone line from the Secretariat
to the Dutch station, which autonlat-
ically broadcast the program, Inc
speech was in English, French, Dutch
and japanese.
Broadcast Other Talks.
These were not the first talks that
have gone cut over the air from the
League of Nations. The more important
speeches at the annual assemblies have
been broadcast since 1925. In 1925 the
opening speech of NJ. BeneS was relayed
by telephone line from Geneva to Prague
and there broadcast A few days later
the entrance of Germany into the
League was celebrated. and the speeches
of Stresemann. BRAND and Sir Austen
Chamberlain were broadcast by Ger
man. French. English, Danish and
Swiss stations.
But these broadcastS were always on
ordinary wave lengths and their recep-
ton was virtually limited to the listen
ing ranges of the European stations
which carried them. The new trials on
short wave lengths. which travel all
over the globe. were for the purpose cf
determining what countries could be
reached and how clearly.

around a good many of the California
golf courses, but that he is still afflicted

Hunt is one of the gents who rant about
the abandonment of the quaint old GUS
toms of calling golf clubs by their Scot
tish given name of mashie, niblick, ETC.,
in favor of the idea of numbering them.
The cannonading still goes on at
Bannockburn, but the scene has been
shifted to the new second green, where
DR.. T. j. w. Brown is busy putting the
finishing touches on the green that is
to take the backache out of the climb
up the hill. Booming shots of black
powder signalize the clearing out of
the last of the stumps and rocks that
made building of the green a tough
job and shortly it will be planted to
bent.
While Greens Supervisor Fits is
completing the job of rebuilding the
sixteenth at Columbia, Peter Jackson,
the Congressional greenskeeper, is still
puzzling as to what to do to improve
the long tenth hole. The latest scheme
is to move the tee down toward the
lake about Is yards and to play up the
valley, which now parallels the fairway
on the left. The hole will be shortened
to about 525 yards, making it a true
par 5. and making room for the con-
Struction of new sixteenth green and

A IA
ers of the Beaver Dam Country
Club team believe they can make a
better showing in putting than any OF
their erstwhile opponents.
Holding that driving and approach
ing does not constitute conclusive SUI
periority in golf. the Beaver Dam team,
led by w. H. White, chairman of the
club golf committee, has issued chal-
lenge to the golf teams of any other
club for a putting contest on the in
door course at the Miller Walker Golf
School, on Pennsylvania avenue near
Seventeenth street, and now awaits ac-
ceptance of the challenge to prove its
claim that putting also plays major
part in the development of a winning
game of golf.
M. P. Mooler of Beaver Dam regis
tered the putting par of 36 to win the
first weekly putting contest at the golf
school. He was given golf ball.
On the scOreboard at Bannockburn,
out at the final end of the sheet on
which is inscribed the results of the
two-man team tournament, stands to-
day the inscription: Heath and Robb
were beaten by Pass and Weldon, 4
and g." Which tells that Leo F. Pass,
former club champion, and r. E.
Weldon are the latest victors in the
annual two-man team championship,
but fails to relate the story of the
thrilling combat which found them VIC
torious on the fifteenth green. Pass
has club handicap of strokes, while
Weldon has 18. Mai. H. Robb and
c. G. Heath both have handicaps of IL.
Under the rules of the tournament for
every difference of 3 strokes in the
combined handicaps of the teams,
hole up was to be given the team with
the longer handicap So Pass and
Weldon with combined handicap of
81 received hole up from Heath and
Robb. They had increased this margin
by 2 more holes when the turn was
reached and won the tourney at the
fifteenth.

postponed that matter until they meet
in Hollywood January 81, at which time

former president. Five votes were
needed for election.
