STRANGE DOT-DASH LANGUAGE TALKED
 AROUND THE GLOBE

Clicking off on the spark sets of 50,000 amateur radio operators, a strange, dot-and-dash language is being heard and understood around the world. It is known as the @" system. Its principal drawback is the limited vocabulary. Another strange language is un- derstood by 25,000 amateur opera tors in the United States, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.

 < Perhaps the sporting press of Britain hasn't heard the depres- sfcn not only extends to the United States but, without prejudice, af- fleets our athletic as well as busi- ness enterprises.
 Otherwise it is difficult to ae- count for the reports I have read in the London journals, crediting Gene Sarazen with. the prospect of 'cashing in" on his British open golf victory to the extent of 10000 l1pcunds, CT nearly $35,000 for not only one year but each of four successive seasons. Just how much, watson, would you suggest Sarazen's victory would be worth to him in 1888 or 1884 if, for exafnple, he has not clutoed his way to additional victories or otherwise kept himself in the fore 1 front of the professional brigade? Our guess would be about three cheers in the locker room at Lake vile, Genes home course-nothing more.
 MUST FOLLOW OWN ADVICE Sarazen will, of course, capitalize his triumph through club and ball manufacturers, to a lesser extent by endorsing other commercial pro- ducts which he actually uses No longer do the federal laws permit indistriminate use of an athletes name for advertising purposes. Sarazen must use the equipment he publicly endorses.
 This perhaps would be worth $5,000 altogether, not much more and perhaps less, over the next year. The British, bless em, think he will collect 12,O00 pounds. They also suggest he will collect no less than 15,000 pounds from newspa- pers for bylined articles.

DO you know that I'm figuring
Schultz to be my lead-off man? That's
fact. He is rated as one of the best
of lead-of men, because he Is fast,
tricky and can place the ball pretty
nearly where he wants. And he can
take his time up there, too. Yep, he

flourish in the future with
out interference from Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, high commissioner of
the game.
BY unanimous vote, major league
magnates, closing their annual sessions
here yesterday, gave the system a vote
OF confidence and drastically curbed the
weapons with which the commissioner
frequently has attacked It.
The magnateS ruled, In effect, that
player contracts negotiated by two or
more clubs OF the same farm system"
shall be regarded as Independent trans
actions and in exactly the same light
as those negotiated by clubs having no
common interest.
An outspoken foe of ''cnain-store"
base ball, Lands heretofore has de-
clined to regard dealings among clubs
of the same chain as Independent trans
actions. Under the new rule, he will
have no choice. As matters stand now
the only curb on further development
of the Chain store" idea lies in the
rule forbidding any major league or
ganization to hold stock, or have cor
troll directly or indirectly, in more than
one club in the same league.
The majors action, as sudden as 1t
was unexpected. served to demonstrate
in striking fashion, the about-face most
club owners have made in their attl-
| tude toward the "chain-store" idea.
Once its only determined hackers were
Sam Breadon and Branch Hickey of
the st. Louis Cardinals. Now virtually
every club in the majors has extended
| its operations into one or more minor
| leagues. The system now has come
to be regarded, rather generally, as Of
