RADIO TO BE USED
IN BRIDGE BUILDING

Construction foremen bawling their
orders to working crews through micro
phones was the picture presented to
the Federal Radio Commission In con-
nection with an application for .
group Of wave lengths below 10 meters
to be used by portable mobile radio
phone stations during the building Of
the new San Francisco-O Oakland Bay
Bridge. About 20 waves were issued by
the commission for suitcase" radio
tranSmitters, which can be carried from
place to place. One ship frequency was
also granted.
The portable stations are to be located
on pile-driven platforms and on barges,
30 that the bridge crews at work can
be instructed from afar. Since the
bridge, recently authorized under q
large grant by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. Is to be about
seven miles long-reputedly the longest
In the world-the builders decided that
radio was the best means of co-ordi-
mating their scattered activities.
D. Reginald Tbbets, who helped build
the Berkeley police radio station and
an amateur station for Marine Junior
College at Kentfield, Calf, is the radio
engineer in charge for the State Of CAL
ifornia, which Is building the bridge.

The fire hazard in Canada'S u.s.
100000 acres of forests is most
serious at this time of year. Be-
fore the advent of the airplane
and the radio, forest fires often
attained considerable dimensions
before they were discovered.
The portable gasoline fire pump
plays an important part in this
modern fire fighting system.
Weighing but a 100 pounds, it can
be carried to the scene of the
blaze by automobile, aircraft. mo-
tor boat, canoe, pack saddle or
back pack. The pump can de-

great a distance as 1000 feet
from a water source,
Some "a airplanes especially
adapted to forest requirements
are operated in connection with
nine radio equipped stations
Their operators do regular patrol
service and have the authority of
policemen as well as foresters.
Recent Canadian regulations
governing forest fires are very
strict and include close seasons
for brush-burning and the re-
quirement that permits be OBJ
tanned to travel in the forests
during certain seasons. AS re-

With the Amateurs

Amateur radio activity has felt the
depression, but it has increased rather
than decreased the number Of radio
amateurs. Many men who for a long
time had q desire to play with radio
as a hobby felt that they were too
busy to spend the time in pursuit Of a
hobby. With enforced idleness they
have taken up radio as q means OF
filling their idle periods.
In Washington the number Of ANA
teurs has increased since 1929. There
are now about 200 licensed operators
In Washington and its suburbs. There
are in addition about 200 who are ex-
amateurs or are beginners. The in
creased activity is reflected in the in
creased attendance at the meetings OF
the Washington Radio Club, the local
affiliate of the American Radio Relay
League.
This club is one of the oldest amateur
radio clubs in the United States. It
has been instrumental in keeping the
radio hobby on the high plane it has
held since its inception. It meets regu-
larly in the Telephone Building at 725
Thirteenth street on the second and
fourth Saturdays Of each month.
The speaking material available on
radio subjects Is greater tn Washington
than in almost any other city In the
United States. This Is due to the ac-
tivity Of radio sections Of many parts Of
the Government.
At the meeting last night Malcolm
Hanson, radio operator with the hrst
Byrd Antarctic expedition. was the
principal speaker. He discussed the
design Of lightweight portable trans
mitters, such as those used with the
expedition.

As we pointed out recently, Au- brey Boomers 6l in the French Open several years ago is the best professional mark on a standard course. I can't locate any amateur who ever shot below 64 over a full-length, standard course, in- cluding Bob Jones, but there have been some astounding nine-hole tallles. One was a 27 by an Eng fish amateur, Corbett, in 1916 Jones had a 31 for one blazing stretch, and Francis Ouimet, in the national amateur at Five Farms last year, shot 30, five under par, on the outgoing nine against George Voigt.
 :. Ouimct had A for 13 holes, six under par, and needed to do the last five holes in par for a 64, but the match was over and he chose the clubhouse instead.

 Livingston worked Claxton for a pass. Then Bob Boyd strode to the plate brandishing his war club Claxton was nervous which called for a conference between him, the catcher and Captain South. With the count two and two, Boyd was hit by a pitched ball, filling the bases. With the stands in an up- roar, Claxton pitched carefully to Andrews and forced him to ground to South who tossed him out at first to end the game.

The back room of a sporting goods store in Cincinnati is hous- ing set of matched golf irons, clubs which were made to order for one of the country's leading amateurs, but which that player will never use in competition.
 And the story behind the irons, writes our MT. Jim" Renick of Columbus, shows what happens when two strong minds clash:
 The clubs were made for Johnny Fischer, Cincinnati's ranking play CT, Western conference champion, recently defeated in the National intercollegiate when he strained his side, but real threat in the approaching national amateur at his home course-the Kenwood Country club.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 27.- Kittenball is the most popular sport in Coach Jim Buford's intra- mural program at Vanderbilt uni versity.
 Figures prove it. During the short spring season this sport drew 300 players who take their kitten ball very seriously and engage in furious competition.
 That was more than engaged in any other single sport and 971 took part in Buford's varied calendar

NAVY OUTLAWS ALL-STARS AND
 WINS IN FINAL
Erskine Outpitches Claxton but Loses Close De-
 cision Five to Four

The Navy played smarter base ball both in the field and on the bases last night than the All Star Fire Department team and won by a score of 5 to 4, in one pf the most spectacular games played here this year. Credit for winning is due to the Sailor out field who ranged into the hinter- lands to pull down long drives by the locals
 Erskine outpitched Claxton all the way and deserved to have won He had speed, control and curves He famed ten men and walked none, while Claxton whiffed but three and hit one batter. Each pitcher yielded eight hits.
 Navy Gets Lead
 The Navy, playing ball like an entirely different club than the one that was showed under in Tuesdays game, jumped into an |early lead by taking advantage of some poor playing by the locals in the first frame.
 With one hand down, Fisher got to first when Garn juggled his |grounder at short. Ronayne sin gled, Fisher going to second. Fish CT stole third and Ronayne second. Becker doubled to left to score both Fisher and Ronayne.
 The Bremen tied the count in their half of the frame With two out, Bob Boyd homered over the store back of center, real Ruth ian clout Andrews hit to second and Fisher heaved the pill oyer Ronayne's head, Andy romping down to second. Killewich advanced him to third with a single and when Fisher dropped Junge's fly, Andy scored with the tying run. Navy Gets Another
 The Sailors scored another, when Jackson lined down the left field foul line and the ball got lost in the grass along the walk. They added run number four in the third in some weird baseball.
 Garn missed Fishers slow roller to short. Ronayne hit to the mound. Fisher, off to flying start as he attempted to steal, was safe at second when Junge missed Frs kine's throw. Fisher went on to

Knew What He Wanted

Johnny rose to national promi- hence without owning a set of matched irons. He won tournament after tournament with a "mongrel'' set of irons. He collected his clubs one at, a ,timer adding a club as he found one which suited his swing and felt good to him.
 But with the National amateur coming on in his home town this lysar he thought he would step out with a set of matched irons and so orderedTa set. He made the order to the Aubmakers specific: Hickory shafts of a certain length and what ] is known to the trade as punch markings on the face. The clubs arrived O. K. in all but one respect In place of the faces being punch marked they were ribbed
 The factory boss explained his firm was not making punch marked clubs any more and Johnny ex- fplained he was not using ribbed clubs any more. And so he hasn't. The clubs are collecting a fine cov- ering of dust and Fischer will be shooting in the amateur with his "mongreP' clubs.

third. Boyo riad Ronayne out a mile on an attempted steal at sec ond, but Junge again let the ball get through him, Fisher scoring.
 Junge AtOnes Fully
 Junge made ample atonement ir the last of the third. After Kille- wich and Andrews had singled, tn. Firemen's second sacker tripled to deep right center to send botE runners home, tying the count fol the second time.
 From then until the eighth neith- CT side could score. Erskine's SUI perb pitching and the great sup port the Navy gave Claxton kept the count knotted. The locals hi' everything that Claxton offered but always some fielder was camp ing under the ball.
 In the fourth after Erskine had walked, Bill Schmitz rifled a drive toward left that looked good for at least a single, but Smith, playing deep, made leaping catch anc shot the ball to first to double ur Claude.
 Just a Sample
 And that was JUS; sample o1 what was to rome. In the fifth after Killewich had singled, Junge smashed a hard drive to deep right that was earmarked for another triple, but Quittken was playing on the bank of Gold Creek and garnered it in.
 In the seventh two circus catch cs again saved the day for the Navy. With one away, Boyd blasted a drive to right center that was headed for the tall grass, but Me Cam, playing back of the road went back across the walk and pulled it down. It was pure robbery Then Andrews crashed one into deep rig ht, but Quittken was camping under it near the site o1 the old flagpole when it descend ed.
 Win in Eighth
 The Navy put the winning run across in the eighth. After Ro- nayne had flied out to Killewich Becker singled. Grand, running for Becker, stole second, Boyd's throw being wide Smith famed. Quitt- ken singled to short center and Grand came all the way home beating the relayed throw by a fraction of a second.
 Quittken went to second on the play and took third on a passed ball. He died there when Erskine famed Nosari.
 The locals went out in one-two- three order in the eighth. Kille- wich was thrown out by Smith who made a fine stop of his grounder Junge's long fly to right was speared by Quittken. Little Macs hard hit grounder hoped right into Ronayne's mitt for the third out.
