NEW COPYRIGHT
Law NEARS

American authors and com
posers today had won the first
phase of a five-year battle when
Representative Albert Vestal (RO
of Indiana announced he would
petition house leaders for per
mission to call up new bill COM
pletely revising the copyright laws.
The new measure is declared
of vital importance to the stage,
motion picture industry and radio
broadcaSting.
Calling themselves poor politi-
clans and bad business men, the
authors and composers have been
knocking at the docrs of Congress
Tor the last five sessions for re-
moval of determinations they
claim have existed since 1909.
Divisible Copyright
Although Vestal declared the
bill is satisfactory to 80 per cent
of the leaders of the industries
affected, some of its provisions
have been bitterly fought by
Broadway play producers on the
ground it favors the motion pic
ture industry.
The bill creates by law the
divisible copyright, giving the
author the right to sell to the
stage producers stage rights, to
the motion picture magnate movie
rights, and to radio broadcasting
companies the radio rights.
Under present practices, &C
Cording to Vestal, authors sell
play outright to the Broadway
producer under a trade practice
agreement by which they get so
per cent of the movie rights.
William A. Brady, noted producer
has fougho the bill as a blow to
the stage.
The bill gives to composers the
right to contract for sale of their
works for photographic reproduc-
ton. Under present law, the
composer is limited to two cents
a record for his creation. Once
he has permitted the use in this
A1ldllIlCA, NSSUdI OdAh, ally OCAANA
company can use it at this price.
Life Is Extended
The bill also reviSeS book, mag
azine and newspaper copyright
laws. One provision extends the
life of an authors copyright to
so years after his death. The
present law provides for 28-
year term and allows it to be re-
newed for similar period.
New provisions governing col
lection of damages for copyright
infringement are provided in the
bill. Under the present law, &C
Cording to Vestal, an author can
collect all profits from an in
fringement and damages as we'll.
Courts, however, he says, have
been unwilling to give all this
to an auth, r in instances where
a motion picture concern may
have infringed and spent $250,0O0
producing the story. Under the
new provision, the author would
get damages and only so much
of the profits as the court be-
lieves in just.

Implicit obedience on the
field is the rule in the So
called national paStime, just
as it is on the field of battle
during a national emergency.
Off duty, as in the armed SER
vices, there is sometimes dis
satisfaction with rules and regu-
lations of disporting ones self,
but when the conflict is on, the
thinking is done at general
headquarters and the men know
they are just a part of a great
scheme Of battle, the why's and
wherefores may be unknown
to them.
McGraw is and has been the
greatest stickler for strict carry
ing out Of orders and a tale is
told Of him whereby he fined
Sam Nicklin for knocking out
a home run when the then
"Mugsy" had ordered him to
60 to the bat and bunt.
Pitchers have been known to
be in the act Of winding up,
when they got a signal from
the bench to retire from the
box and when yet another sig
nal was being flashed to a
twirIer in the bllll-pen to come
in for duty.
BatterS have been known to
be en- route from the dugout to
the plate twirling a couple of
bats in their hands. when a
manager experienced a change
Of Judgment and for some rea-
son, not always apparent either
to the players or fans, another
batter substituted.
Most players, practically all
Of them in fact, take 1t for
granted that the manager is
right. He Is the one charged
with the responsibility for sue.
cess and he carries the conf.
dence of his men.
And the small minority that
might have it in their heads to
question an order or command,
or which does not have 100 per
cent confidence in a pilots judg-
ment, are spurred on to strict
obedience of all orders by a
clause in their contract in
which they submit to fine and
possible suspension for failure
to execute every demand from
thu brain center Of the club.
The Washington times., 1930-04-19

Whatever it was that trans
pired between Manager Walter
johnson and Morose Sam Jones,
it must have been pretty "tur-
rable" for Walter to have found
it necessary to dispatch Sorrow
full Sam back to Washington.
Slow to anger, tolerant, con-
siderate and long-Suffering, Wal
ter johnson must have been at
the end of his patience when he
called Jones hand and Subse-
quently bought him a ticket for
Washington.
But that is just an example
Of what might be expected Of
two men of such similar tenn
ornaments as Jones and :-ohn-
son. It was probably a matter
of still water running deep.
Whatever there is between them
will probably be adjusted now
that the smoke has burst ir..o a
tiny flame d it is better for
the club that the thing is out
in the open.
Nobody should have any trou-
BILE working for Walter John
son. He is not a slave driver,
yet he owes it to himself t. be
1irm and he must have obedi-
ence rather than Sulking and
pouting. In every organization
where a number of units are Co
operating, there must always be
a leader. There must ever be a
.aSter mind at work, conceiv-
ing and planning and executing.
Part of the duty of subordi-
mates is to take orders, even
though some Of them be not un-
derstandable at the moment
they are Given. 1t 2o'''d {, IKE a
man of rare imagi ction to be-
heve that Johnson has not been
fair and considerable, not only Of
Jones, but Of every other player
he has in his charge.
Perhaps a few days away
from the club to think matters
over will do Sam good and
bring him to a saner viewpoint
of the situation-whatever it
may be. Here in Washington
he can keep in condition by
pitching to Roy Spencer, the
former hold-out, who is here
training at his own expense and
without salary, owing to the
fact he did not report for duty
until the opening day Of the
season.

uners Clash With Nationals in Grudge Battle Tonight

NUMEROUS
BATTLES
Nv GINO SINH

A real old fashioned blood
and-thunder grudge battle is on
the books for tonight at the Con-
vention Hall bowling alleys when
the Nationals, Saturday Night
League champions, and the Co
lumbuS University, runners-up,
tangle in a five-game battle.
Both teams have been at
dagger-points all season and q
regular Kilkenny cats battle re-
suited each time they met. The
Collegiates started off on the
wrong foot. laundering badly
in the first series, but toward
the end they hit their stride and
in the final battle with Nationals
got the decision.
The Nationals have been on top
of the heap since opening night,
outbowling every opponent with
steady regularity and chalking up
the best team average for the
season. It is one of the most
colorful teams in the city, in one
sense. having Gray, Rose, Brown
and two Lavendars, all regulars,
in its lineup.
g. Gray holds the third
high average in the league,
while Louie Rose grabbed the
spare hOnOrs and high team
game, 617, is theirs.
No individual honors go to the
Columbians, but they set UP high
team set. 1863, and can point
with pride to a consistently de.
pendable roster, with Angelo
Ganna's los heading the list
and shading down through Cos
tigan, Dryer. Lubrose, and Nc
Gabney to 100.
There are 100 berries riding
on the result, both teams having
posted so bucks. Many an individ.
ual conflict will also bring in
cross-fire interest. Most inter.
esting will be the individual bat
tie between Louie Rose and An

emnity between them off the
