United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, April Is. - Goose
Goslin, slugging st. Louis Browns
outfielder. was, as YOU know, foiled
in his attempt to use a black and
white striped bat (see mace, will
low, war club, ash, hickory, wagon
tongue, blugeon) on the grounds
that such a bizarre affair would
confuse the pitchers and give the
Goose an unfair advantage.
This department wishes to take
issue with Umpire Geisel, the man
who outlawed the new weapon, and
President Harridge of the American
League. who sustained Brother
Geisels decision. The banning Of
the new bat was an outrage In
the first place. the Geisel-Har-
ridge decision was a tremendous
blow at incentive, ingenuity, init
atiye, invention and free speech.
This bureau happens to know
that Goslin, soon after the close of
the 1881 season. rented a shack

There is another thing to re-

fuse a pitcher? Don't pitchers
spend most of their time trying to
confuse batterS? Do they throw
nice straight balls at the batters?
Yes, they do not They throw balls
that are the soul of deception: balls
that skip right and left, hop up

they bounce one off some part of

WORK ADVANCING
Commission Report Says Ad-
vertising viii Be Taken
Up Next.

Field work In the exhaustive power
and gas utilities hearing by the Federal
Trade Commission is expected to be
completed in the present fiscal year, the
commission said today in its annual re-
port to Congress. The report also de-
tailed the status of other inquiries it
has under way, and outlined its opera
| tions in other fields, notably that Of
curbing false advertising.
Among the utilities groups yet to
be studied are Cities Service. Niagara
Hudson, Central & Southwest Utilities,
which was one Of the insult chain, and
United Gas Improvement.
/ When the work is completed the COM
mission says, the information is ex-
/ pected to cover a good cross section of
the industry.
Summary Is Given.
The commission sums up on other
! probes as follows:
Final reports being written on chain
stores, cottonseed prices. cement and
building materials.
First report in ON peanut prices.
On the subject of false advertising,
the commission said that hundreds of
vultures preying upon the public have
bem driven out of business" by the
| commission campaign, In which "a
large majority of all publishers have
co-operated."
Investigations made by the commits
sion," the report said, have disclosed
| frauds of many kinds. The worst are
perpetrated by those who prey on the
suffering of those of their fellows who
are willing to try anything to get relief
from pain or the handicap of illness.
Millions Of dollars are paid annually
| for preparations worthless or of doubt
full value, but advertised as being ef-
fective.
Failures Under Analysis.
investigations of the commission
disclose that various preparations pur-
| veyed by some chemists, cosmeticians
and Others who are. looking for easy
money VIII not always stand up under
careful scientific analysis"
As result of the commissions action
along this line, the report said, thou
sands of otherwise honest business men,
who had fallen into the habit of exag-
| gerating and using deceptive and mis-
leading superlatives, have revised their
copy and find it pays to tell the truth
in advertising"
The commission renewed suggestion
made In the last three annual reports
that Congress enact legislation specifi-
cally authorizing it to compel COM
panies under investigation to submit
any records desired.
Decline in Mergers.
There has been a gradual decline in
the number of consultations and
mergers effected since 1929. Whereas
the commission inquired into some 200
important industrial acquisitions, con-
sohdations and mergers three years ago.
/ it was only necessary to institute some
so like inquiries during the fiscal year
just closed.
THE number Of companies under
going reorganization which included the
acquisition and consolidation of sub
sidiary interests chiefly because of eco
nomic necessity, and the number of
concerns passing into the hands of re-
ceivers probably exceeded the total
number of consultations and mergers
effected during the year."

Y Jewish boy from the East Side,
has won New York State recog
milton as middleweight champion of
the world.
Jeby handed Chick Devlin of Los
Angeles a neat beating at the st. Mich
olas arena last night in a 15-round
match that bore title sanction from
the New York State Athletic Commis-
sion.
The East Slider led all the way,
drumming Deylin steadily about the
body until the Irishman could barely
stand. Devlin was in serious difficulties
in the fourth, eighth and eleventh
rounds and in the last three as well.
Jeby and Deviin we're finalists in an
elimination tournament organized by
Jimmy Johnstone The tournament
lost most Of its color by the withdrawal
of frankie Battaglia, Winnipeg puneher
who was given no better than draw
with Devlin in one of the opening bouts
of the tournament, although most OF
the critics thought he had won easily.
Before the tournament started, he
