Waco mitesH Houston;
Cats Trim Spudders
Upsets of Week

Associated Press Sports Writer.
It is difficult to get worked up
over the present unsettled condition
of the pennant scramble in the
Roberts circuit after looking back
and seeing what it would have been
if they hadn't split it 10 days ago.
Water and baseball clubs gener-
ally can be counted upon to seek
their level sooner or later, and it is
altogether possible that the second
half will develop into the same sort
of hair-raiser that was in progress
when that famous meeting took place
July 2. but there still are a lot Of
mourners.
Just supposing they hadn't split,
which is as good warm weather
pastime as any, the Sports and
Spudders you'd be deadlocked today
for the lead, with the Dallas Steers
a game behind and Fort Worth
five and a half games out. That,
however. is just so much pea soup as
far as the second heat is concerned.
Waco now is in the throes Of an
other of those ambitious spells that
made the Cubs SO generally respect
ed the first month of the season. BY
trimming the Bluffs yesterday, 4 to 2,
behind some fine pitching by Bill
Harris, the McLennan county nine
displaced the Bisons as ~runners-up
to the Spudders, who ran afoul Of
bill McCabe and dropped one to the
Cats, 4 to 8.
The Steers, crippled but still bat
ting. came back after dropping four
decisions in two days and walloped
the Sports, IL to 2, in their Louisl-
ana opener. Charlie Barnabe the
Herds knock-kneed southpaW. es-
tablished himself a little more firm
" as the leagues premier curver by
registering his fourteenth victory in
this game. He has lost three.
Beaumont and San Antonio d1-
vided a pair of pretty mound duels
in the Magnolia City. Elmer Han
son. big Shipper highlander, allow
ed the tribe only four hits in blank
ing them. 2 to O, in the first. Then
Neal Baker, the veteran c~ollegtan,
exacted the Redskins revenge by
limiting the Exports to three singles
in the nightcap and stopping them
similarly, 2 to 0.
Of the fixe exhibitions reeled off,
Fort Worth's victory over the Spud-
ders possibly was the most porten-
tious. The SnyderiZed Kittens are
getting pitching since Big Pancho
went behind the bat, and they
promise to become dangerous as the
standing becomes oriented. The
Spuds raped McCabe 10 times, but
after the first inning he had them
going through the hoop. Larry Bet
tencourt appeared as a pinch hitter
for the Spuds and went without.

NEW YORK. July 12.-P-
William Watson Clark, young
southpaw of the Brooklyn Rob-
ms, knows why pitchers weaken
in the closing innings of a game,
especially during hot weather.
Clark pitched the Dodgers to a
8 to 6 victory over the St. Louis
Cardinals the other day but was
lucky to last out the game. He
explained it this way:
Before the game 1 got on the
scales and weighed 167 pounds.
After the game 1 weighed 156
pounds, a. loss of eleven pounds"
Clark however, draws some sat
iSfaction out of the fact that a
big dinner, plenty of water, a
good nights sleep and a heavy
breakfast brought him back tx
his original weight the following
day.

Pirates Stomp Pills
While Bruins Split
Double Whit Giants
fRy The Associated Pressl

The crucial battle of the Polo
grounds is being conducted to the
complete satisfaction of the Pirates,
who have yielded not one inch of
ground since they overhauled the
Cubs on independence day. The
Bruins and the Giants split a tedi-
Gus double header beneath Coogan's
Bluff yesterday as the Pittsburgh
rough riders stampeded the Phillies
once more at Baker Bowl.
The Pirates added half a game
to their lead by tossing the Phillies,
6 to 2. while the Cubs were winning
and losing. The half-game gain was
registered in the all-important
games-lost column where until yes
terday the Buccaneers were on even
terms with Chicago. The Pirates
now lead the Cubs by two games
and the Giants by five and one
half. The situation of the New
Workers is even worse than the fig
ures indicate, as they have lost eight
games more than Pittsburgh and
seven more than Chicago.
Fred Fitzsimmons was raped for
II hits and was poorly supported
afield in the opener, and the Cubs
had little difficulty in winning, 8
to 8. They earned enough runs to
win, but unearned ones are just as
valuable as any other sort on the
Scoreboard.
Defeated in the opener, John Nc
Graw still had the courage to toss
Bill Walker, the southpaw, against
a team which had not bowed to a
lefthander since the venerable Clar-
ence Mitchell had a good afternoon
eight weeks ago. The Giants final
ly won by 16 to u.
Red Lucas shut out the Braves
by 6-to-0, giving further proof Of
the seriousness of Jack Hendricks
intention to quit the cellar. The
Braves now are only one game
away, but a gain Of n game will
not turn the trick for the Reds as
they have played fewer games than
the Bostonese.
The Robins bowed to the cardi-
nails, 6-to-3. at Ebbets field. receiv-
ing a check in their attempt to
crash the first division. The fourth
rung now is four games away.
Rain halted all important activity
along the western front in the
American league. AS a result the
Mackmen will meet the Browns in
double-headers today and tomorrow
while the Yanks will play two
against the White Sox tomorrow.
The games that we're played in
Ernest Barnard's league saw the Red
Sox tame the Tigers by IS to 8 as
the Senators downed the Indians,
9 to 3.
Billings, Detroit pitcher, Alexan-
der and McManus executed a triple
killing Of Red Sox in the seventh,
while Alexander cut in with an I'M
assisted double play in the ninth.

CAPT. BALLENGER SEEKS
TO QUASH DIVORCE SUIT
Files Petition Asking Action for
Limited Decree Sought by
Wife Be Dismissed.

Capt. Thomas P. Ballenger. U. S. N,
asked the District Supreme Court yes
terday to dismiss a suit for a limited
divorce and injunction brought against
him by his wife, Mrs. Helen NJ. r.
Ballenger 1861 Crescent place, in which
she sought to prevent the officer from
prosecuting suit for an absolute di-
vorce against her in Shanghai, China.
The officer says he has wired his coun-
sci to dismiss the proceeding at Shang-
hal.
Capt. Ballenger denies that his wife
sought a reconciliation after he had
been transferred to Philadelphia, but
only demanded an allowance of $3.50
per month. He became angry, he adj
mits, and charged her with running his
life. He says he was recalled from
China through the action of his wife,
who, he asserts, has often threatened
to exert her influence to have him
transferred to less desirable stations.
The officer tells the court that his
wife is worth $4,000, while he has less
than $4,000. He asserts that out of his
salary he sends $50 per month to his
widowed mother, pays $500 yearly for
insurance and is compelled to keep up
appearances of the service. He is rep
resented by Attorney George E. Strong.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ELYRIA, Ohio, September 1.-THE
results of the seven and one-haf years
Of organization work Of the New York
State Association for Crippled Children,
Inc. are worthy of special note and
commentator, according to statement
issued by Edgar F. Allen, president OF
the international Society for Crippled
Children.
Before 1922" says the statement,
"there were many worthwhile projects
being fostered and maintained in behalf
of crippled children, but the efforts
made in their behalf we're not co-ordi-
mated The New York State Association
set about in that year to get all inter-
ests working toward a Statewide pro-
gram designed to reach all cripples, with
q complete service as near their own
homes as possible which would render
them finally self-supporting.
State, Commission Created.
ain 1924, upon the request Of the as
ISOLATION, the Legislature provided $l5,-
900 for the use of a temporary State
commission created by the law then
passed. The next year the Legislature
enacted the recommendations OF the
commission into a statute providing for
a permanent commission to coordinate
Au the SLdCe SeIFlCeS W C4lpplSu ILln-
dren and amended the welfare, health,
educational and rehabilitation statutes
relating to cripples.
1.-THE association continued to co-or-
dinate all public. private and philan-
thropic efforts in behalf of cripples
througout the State, and its members
made up . Statewide constituency to
and intelligent way. These laws were
further amended in 1926 and 1927 so
that the State program is now decen-
tralized scheme of care, medical and
hospital service, education and rehabili-
tation."
DecentraIized Program Praised.
According to Harry H Howett. execu-
tive secretary of the International So
ciety, who worked in close touch with
the New York State Association and
the temporary commission in 1924-5,
"the work Of the temporary commission
was the best effort up to that time that
was ever made by a State to solve its
own technical and complex problem OF
the cripple. The provisions of the vari-
Gus laws are working well because OF
the continuous co-ordinating influence
OF the State association and the well
trained persons IN charge OF their ex-
ecution in the various State depart
mentS.
such a decentraliZed state program
IL the most economical one for State
to follow. 1t reaches the greatest num-
Der OF cripples and 1t Is just and far
to the parents of crippled children be-
cause they can get care and education
near their own homes and it saves the
State the expense of building additional
facilities. Civic, service, FRI ternal and
other interested agencies have done a
good work in sponsoring this Statewide
program In New York.
Those who wish. to assist in this
work should communicate with Mrs.
Rachel Holbrook, field secretary of the
State Association, Education Building,
Albany, who Is prepared to assist in
local co-ordinating service and to MI
speaking engagements before interested
groups"

Germans during the war. The Radio
Corporation of America comes by the
patent under its patent crosS-l licensing
agreement with the General Electric Co.
Practically all radio receivers, with
the exception of the now obsolete crys-
tai set, utilize tuned radio frequency
amplification. The Radio Corporation
of America licensed some 35 other man
ufacturers to use the patent for royalty
considerations.
Doubt concerning the validity of the
Alexanderson patent prevailed because
the Canadian court had unanimously
upheld the patent of Schloemilch and
Won Bronx, two German Telefunken
Co. scientists.
Two Federal district courts in this
country, one in New York and one in
New Jersey, have decided in favor of
Alexanderson. Another case involving
it is still pending in Federal DISTRICT
Court of Los Angeles.
The radio corporations claims we're
vigorously attacked during hearings last
May before the Senate committee on
interstate commerce on the Couzens
bill for the creation of Federal COM
munications commission. witnesses
stated the Government had never at
tempted to prosecute its claim to the
Schloemilch and Won Bronx patent, and
the Navy Department was crlIlcLzeu ny
several Senators for not attempting to
fortify its claim to a patent of such
significance and Importance.
Not Binding Here.
The British decision, of course, is not
binding in this country, but the New
York and New Jersey decisions in favor
of AIexanderson have never been ap-
pealed to higher courts. According to
Col. Manton Davis. general attorney for
the radio corporation, the decision
handed down by the Privy Council is
"a complete and final answer to strong
propaganda which has been asserting
that the Radio Corporation of Americas
licenses to radio set manufacturers were
supported by substantial and basic ra-
dio patents"

UPHELD IN ENGLAND
Privy Council ReverSes Cana
dian Court in AIexan-
derSon Case.

Tuned radio frequency application,
one of the key patents of the radio
industry, has been held by the Privy
Council, Great Britain's highest court,
to be the invention of Ernst r. w. Alex
anderson, the noted General Electric
Co. scientist. BY this decision the Su-
preme Court of Canada, from which it
was appealed, is reversed and the Alex
anderson patent is given priority in
British dominions over the Schloemilch
and Won Bronx patent, now held by
the United States Navy.
The patent is of prime Importance,
because it covers the system of radio
which makes possible the selection OF
signals or sound carried to the antenna
by radio frequency and their amplif1ca-
ton to the degree desired. Previous
systems selected" but could not am
plify efficiently, or vice versa. 1t Is
the combination that makes modern
radio reception practicable.
Held by r. C. A.
The Alexanderson patent is held by
the Radio Corporation Of America,
which announced the receipt of advices
from London to the effect that the
Alexanderson patent had been upheld
by the Privy Council as against the
patent seized by the Navy from the
