One is asked many times q
day in baseball situations such
as the present American League
race reveals, If he doesn't think
the Athletics are "in."
The answer to. that one, Of
course, is "No!"
No team, my friends, is "in"
until all mathematical chances
of them being "out" have been
exhausted.
We. will say this, and in the
saying feel we are telling you
nothing very new, that the Ath-
letics look to be pretty well
in.~ But that is as far out on
the limb az our particular years
Of observing baseball races viii
permit US to go. Too many
things can happen in a baseball
race, and in a horse race too
for that matter, for anyone to,
feel justified in paying off until
the thing is actually over.
We do not intend to bring
into this discussion that time-
worn admonition - Remember
the Braves Of 1914!" We would
not eve:1 think Of mentioning
that notable occasion wherein a
team came from the foot Of the
National League race around.
this time of year to cop the
flag. Let US dismiss that Incl
dent from our minds.
The only thing we viii say.
en- passant, Is what q great
baseball man by the name of
Pulliam, Harry Pulliam to be
exact, said probably before we
were born.
He said, said he, ''Take noth-
ing for granted in BASEBALL"
This same remark has been
credited to many another base-
ball figure in days since Pull
man first gave voice to tive
have seen McGraw, Griffith, An
son and Art Shires all credited
with the. phrase, but take it
from us, Pulliam said it. 8
Anyway it goes-take nothing
for granted in baseball. That's
one reason why we can't say
now the Athletics are "in.'
When they actually are "in" you
won't need US to tell you so,
and in the meantime Old Harry

are Gin" when they really are
not.
Another reason we can't say
they, the Mackmen, are sin" is
because we can't forget that the
Yankees q year ago, who seemed
to Be ''in" Just barely saved
enough Of the shreds Of about 3
twelve-gane lead which they
then held, to get into the world
series. And that is taking no
Of whom we mean to make no
account Of the Braves Of 1914
mention here.
Then again the Yanks were
pretty generally supposed to be
practically wasting their time by
playing q world series with the
Cardinals last fall, so shot to
pieces was their pitching staff
and 80 under the weather was
their second baseman, Tony Laz-
zeri, at the moment the world
series was being thrust upon
them and their "a game mar
gin of victory in the American
League.
Folks then were taking plenty
for granted. Everyone was sure
that If the Yankees did win the
series by hook or crook, they
couldn't possibly do so by four
straight victories as they had
the year previously against the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
And that il the way 1t Is in
baseball. You can't take q
thing for granted, as Harry
said, and if you don't believe It,
take the Braves Of 1914 which
stereotype argument we would
not think of presenting at this
moment.
Miller Higgins is among those
who doesn't believe the Ath-
letics are the best team in the
league. He didn't say which
team was the best, but he told
a friend of his while in Washing
ton early. last week that Wash
ington had "as good" a team as
the Athletics. We do not know
by what system Mr.. Higgins
was doing his handicapping.
r Certainly the figures don't
show Washington to be any
such a thing. But then those
baseball men are 50 full Of puma

START NEW STUDIO
FOR STATION WNYC
Facilities for New York's Munich
pal Plant to Be
Enlarged.

Wort was started last week on the
reconstruction of the studio facilities
of station WNYC, atop the Municipal
Building in New York. Following the
completion of this work, obsolete equip
ment in the tranSmitter will be replaced
by up-to-date parts.
With the use of additional floor space,
two moderately equipped rooms will be
available to the station instead of the
single studio utilized until the present.
The Improvements being made at the
Municipal Building site may be accepted
as an indication of the permanent loca-
ton of WNYC there, despite the recent
suggestion of the Federal Radio Com
mission to have the transmitter moved
The use of additional facilities was
necessitated by the lapse of time in
changing the program settings in the
old single studio. Under the new ar
rangement. preparations for program
can be made In one studio while an
other program Is on the air from the
one adjoining
The new studios will measure Is by IL
feet and 80 by 20 feet, respectively. The
size of the old studio was ~ by l6 feet
In addition, an open-air studio on the
roof is often utilized.
AS all OF the work, including sound
insulation, will be done by the station
staff, the cost of the studio construction
is expected to be kept under $4,000.
Plans are reported to be under way
for the construction of high-wave sta
ton for use in communication with New
Yorks welcoming steamer, the Macon.
Two WNYC staff changes were an
nounced in the last week. F. Fitzpatrick
was appointed acting director, due to
the temporary transfer of Christie r.
