NEW YORK.-LPl-If. as is gener-
ally expected. the United States
again carries off the Olympic track
and field championship at Amster-
dam this summer il will be due
principally to the prowess of the
sens Of Uncle Sam who jump, vault
and toss various implements around.
In other words, the deciding factor
will be strength in the field and not
on the track. The same method OF
concentrating on Drawn that has en-.
abied California colleges to clean up
eastern championships will be em-
ployed by the American team in its
efforts to clean up the Olympics.
IL is more spectacular to win the
l00-meter dash or some other track
feature, but il produces no more
points than a victory in the shotput
or discus, where the competitors toll
with few If any plaudits.
-Four years ago, while little Fin
land was busy romping off with all
the running laurels in sight from
] 800 meters up 10 the marathon, the
American huskies went out and
clinched the Olympic title. capturing
seven of the ten field events. The
only individual American victory on
the track was in the 200 meters BY
Jackson Scholz. but in the less spec
tacular field events Dud Houser won
the discus and s~hotput. Harold Os-
born took the high gamp and death

offhand this is a startling ru-
NOR.
But one angle of the suggested

That is the necessity Of obtaining
from the moguls Of the National

The club owners must place their
approval on any transaction of this

In view Of Richards present activi-

league-a power that threatens TO
rock the leagues existence.
That man was Harry Frazee.
Frazee took time enough from his
Broadway show hits to purchase
mostly with ~paper-the Boston Red
SoX.
The player deals with the New
York club followed, and they gave
the Yankees the nucleus of the team
that started an almost interrupted
reign Of the American league.
The trades we're made with no
thought Of the result from the Bos-
ton end. Babe Ruth was sold for
SIPS, 600. and Herb Pennock, Waite
Hoyt, Wally Schang, joe Dugan,
Muddy Ruel. Sam Jones. Carl Mays
and George Pipgras went the same
way.
After wrecking the Boston club to
the point where it became the tail
end of the league-there to remain
for an extended period-Frazee was
finally relieved Of his holdings.
Rickard and his s~sociates have
the financial resources to purchase
the Giants-granted that the sale
price runs over 100000 as sug-
gested-and have no fear Of any
financial slumps that the vagaries
Of the game might bring to the
Giants.
This may not, in itself, enthuse
the moguls.
There are a number OF wealthy
sportsmen who have long sought an
opportunity TO break into the base
ball business and many Of these
might well draw more favor in the
eyes OF the present National league
heads than Richard, because Of their
known interest in the game and
their desire to break into il more
as a hobby" because Of that in
terest in IL, than as an out and
out business proposition.

flight OVER RADIO
| LAW DIMINISHING
Prospect That Many Licenses
for Stations viii Be Re-
neWed Eases Situation.
BY MARTIN~CODEL.

Prospects of litigation to test the con-
stitutionality of the radio law and the
legality of the acts of the Federal Radio
Commission under the law have been
diminished by the likelihood that many
OF the recently condemned broadcasting
stations will win license renewals be-
| cause they have presented such con-
vincing proof to the commission that
they have right to exist.
Even the newly formed Independent
| Broadcasters' Association, comprising
about 80 of the smaller stations, is not
expected to have occasion to go to court
as 1t has threatened. If most of its IS
are relicensed to continue operating,
the war chest" of the association will
probably be insufficient to carry on ex-
pensive' litigation.
II any cases are carried to the courts.
they probably will be designed to test
the power of the commission to order
wave lengths and power changes. Three
such cases have been instituted in the
District of Columbia courts, where the
law requires that appeals from the COM
mission must be carried. Each has COL
lapsed by reason of the withdrawal of
| the appellants, so no court cases face
the commission at this time.
Want Law Tested.
Members of the commission repeat
edly have asserted their desire to have
the radio law tested. The reluctance of
some of the dissatisfied stations to go
to the courts in the past is not due
alone to the expense entailed Attor-
neys for one of the appellants in the
three cases started last year expressed
an opinion that the radio act of 1927
is utterly impregnable." and would be
impossible to upset"
That view is shared by many of the
attorneys who have had occasion to
handle cases before the commission
They have some confidence that they
might upset the law If stations were
summarily ordered to quit broadcasting
