ZACK WHEAT MAY SUCCEED ROBINSON AS BROOKLYN PILOT
REPORT SAYS
CHANGE DUE
IN 1882
DIRT SAYS Jim Farley Declares War Madison Square Garden Corporation

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The 1881
baseball season has not started
yet, but bright and early today
trouble and woe bounced down on
the head of Wilbert Robinson,
manager of the Brave Brooklyn
Robins.
With a great deal Of emphasis
the report was aired that Rob-
inson is about to give way to
Zack Wheat, one of the most
beloved ball players IN the games
history.
They said this morning that
Wheat is to be named within a
few days as assistant manager
and coach of Brooklyn and that
his appointment marks the sunset
of Robinson's career with the
Dodgers. The contract Robinson
holds with the Brooklyn club will
be finished at the end of the
1881 season and Wheat, the re-
port had it, will then take over
the Dodgers.
Not Friendly
Wheat and Robinson are about
as friendly as a couple of Broad
way actors. Zack was given his
unconditional release by the Rob-
ms at the end of the 1926 season
and his friendship for Wilbert has
been hard hit by a drought ever
since.
But it does not seem likely
there is much truth in the passing
of the word that Wheat is going
to replace Robinson in 1882 OF
any other year. Robbie has done
far too much in the past for the
young men over the bridge. Some
of his trades will not be matched
in sagacity and foresight for a
good many seasons.
The thrilling race that the
Robins staged last summer
behind his direction to enliven
the National League and at
tract big gates that had the
American League magnateS
moaning like Niagara Falls
surely can't be so speedily for
gotten.
RobinSon's ability as a man.
ager is probably as greatly under
estimated as the value of many
other leaders in both leagues is
h cinnI TN@ "a hac
probably been more unjustly taken
to task by both the public and
the newspapers than any other
manager.
Power Limited
The only bit of background
that gives any color to the report
that Robinson is about to remove
himself from the Flatbush ale
indications that the Brooklyn
club officers have attempted to
restrict Robinson'S operations
strictly to the playing field.
The Robin leader is said to
have been ignored when Wheat
was hired a few days ago and
HIS dUNACC was HUI SOuBAO IA
several player deals in the past
year.
But that state of affairs may
be due entirely to the fact that
the Robin owners wish to be
more prominently associated in
the activities of the team.
1t is quite possible that Robin
son was consulted in relation to
the employment Of Wheat and If
he was not and if it is true that
Robinson has not mended zack's
alleged grievance-then bye bye
red breasts. Friction between
manager and coach, as zack will
be this season, has broken better
ball clubs than the boys yonder
the river.
The Robins were great even in
defeat last year. If Robinson
and Wheat can't get along this
season the club will fall apart
like a dropped bottle.

WORK ID START..... THIS MONTH .ON
 THE HEREINAFTER
ENGINEER ESTIMATES TRACK LAYING WILL BEGIN BY
 END OF MONTH

M fully expect to see work on the new breakwater project well under way before the end of the month,' said H. E. D-7 Wallace, engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, who with Antone Eide of the Seward office, will have charge of operations.
 MT. Wallace departed today for Anchorage where he expects to find at headquarters further instructions which should have been sent on this boat. He will make his local headquarters in MT, Eide's offices of the commis- sion.
 The laying of the track to the proposed quarry will of course be the first work'' MT Wallace said. This will not re- quire very large force of men. I've will employ all local labor with the exception of the regu- lar men of the railroad which will probably be used to a con- siderable extent on pile driver and steam shovel work It is hard to estimate the number of men the job will require but from the number of applications al- ready on file with Mr Eide- we will certainly be able to handle the situation fully from the lo- cal supply, and especially wish to warn men from other places against coming here in the ext pectation of getting work on this project for they are almost sure to be disappointed

NEW RADIO WAVE
 MAY CLEAR UP
 CROWDED ETHER
BY WALLACE CARROLL

United Press Stan Correspondent St Margaret's Bay. Eng.-Com- mercial radio on a Lilliputian scale will solve the problem of the con- gested ether, experiments just com pleted here indicate.
 A new ultra-short wave radio telephone and telegraph device
 has been successful tested be- tween St Margaret's bay and Calais, France. by engineers of the Interna- tional Telephone and Telegraph Co. The engineers claim the inven- tion opens up 250,000 new wave channels. All the new channels are below three meters.
 Channel Talks
 Telephonic conversations have been carried on across the English channel on a wave-length of IS centimetero. The aerial used was lyess than one inch long. The power was one-half watt-Just suf- ficient to light a flashlight bulb.
 The new device is simple in con- struction. At the transmitting sta- tion the sounds are carried to a device known as "micro-radion" tube. In this tube waves are gen. erated which oscillate 1.600,000000 times Q second.
 These "mlcro-rays" are led by two short transmission lines to a transmitting aerial less than an inch in length. After concentra- ton by a combination of two re- flectors into fine point of rays. they are thrown into space.
 At the receiving end. tho micro. rays are picked up by another set of reflectors and concentrated upon another one-inch aerial. They nrc then transformed by q micro radon tube Into sueech currents suitable for a telephone.
 Miero.rnys are not subject 10 the fading. Neither are they abs aorbod by rain or fog.
