What the commission will do Is
conjectural, but it is known that
every possible influence is being
brought to bear to persuade 1T
that the change should be made,
especially in the interests of
smaller stations that must depend
upon tranScriptionS. The tran
scription makers agree that ordi-

continue to be announced as

transcriptions being made for ra-
dio have reached such a high
state Of technical perfection that
the public does not care whether
it is told the program is recorded
rather than live talent.
The makers of transcriptions,
naturally, are behind the pro-
posal, their contention being that
an onus attaches to the word
transcription" which handicaps
their attraCtiveneSS to sponsors.
They argue that there is no more
need to announce such programs
as transcriptions than to say that
network programs are fed to
member stations via intercity tel
ephOne wires.
Network officials are unalter-
ably opposed to the change. Nor
are all of the broadcasters salts
fled that it should be made. The
broadcasters are divided about
evenly, those largely relying on
transcription emanding the
change, and those using more
network and local studio talent
asserting that it would be unfair

even threatened to counteract the

" radio are comedians and

light music, particular
ly dance music. Variety shows
are coming more and more to the
fore, but their croonerS and sing
ing ensembles usually are second

background. Classical music and
the finer concert artists have
their place and their following

comedy and light music are the

1882 just issued by the Union In
ternationale de RadiodiffuSion Of
Geneva, the European broadcast

Europe as a whole light music
was the broadcasting fare that
won the greatest approval of all
classes, though the type of light
music varied in each country.

The union finds it difficult to
learn what the British like most,
but they, too, like their dance
music. Germany, it finds, goes
in heavily for news about the
Reich and neighboring countries,
but we are assured that "the Ger
man is not losing his love of mu-
sic, and he is still as devoted as
ever to the great masters as well
as being fond of marches and
waltzes and cheerful potpourri

Learns Advice
Of Golf Mates
Faulty
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Better take q braSSie. You
can't get home with spoon"
That was the voluntary advice
given by other members Of his
foursome as George Diffenbaugh,
Indian Spring golf pro, debated
what club to use for his second
shot on the par 5 twelfth hole at
the Kenwood Club.
Diffenbaugh, who fires O long
ball with his woods despite his
small size, needed his counsellors,
calling for his brassie. He
smacked one that cleared at least
$50 yards and left him five yards
past the green.
Deft Chip Shot
Facing a green that sloped
away, Diffenbaugh placed his
chip shot three feet from the pin
and easily deposited the ball in
the cup for a birdie 4.
Incidentally, Diffenbaugh took
down first money in the informal
sweepstakes at Kenwood yester.
day with a "a. two over par, and
one under the score registered by
AL Houghton, home pro.
A birdie 3 on the fiRal hole
gave Diffenbaugh his margin Of
victory. He unlimbered crack
ling drive far and straight down
the fairway and put his No. 3
iron from the flag. He then
sank the putt to close out q
round of SO, even par for the last
half of the journey. Diffen-
baugh toured the first nine in S8.
Others Participating
Others participating were Wal
ter Cunningham, Burning Tree,
76; Gilbert Cunningham, Burn
ing Tree, IT; Maury Fitzgerald,
Kenwood. 80, and Russ Holle-
buagh, unattached, 80.
The Middle Atlantic Profes-
sional Golfers Association will
hold a meeting next Tuesday at
the Kenwood Club. A sweep
stakes in the afternoon will pre-
cede the meeting.

Baseball Clubs
Make Play for
SOC Fans

NEW YORK, March 7.-Rugged
as times may be. it isn't a sum
that ever will get to be some
thing over which you will sit up
all night with a shotgun. Never
the less baseball made a play for
the 50-cent patronage today for
the first time since the mauve
decade, the idea being that it is
better to have more people pay"
ing less money than no people
paying none.
The Brooklyn club, for instance,
announced today that it was in
creasing its 5O-cent allotment by
2,O0O seats for total of $500
The two Boston clubs vouchsafed
much the same information, the
Red Sox figuring to wind up
with 7,700 bleacher seats and the
Braves with 5000.
12,5OO Bleacher Seats
So, too, the Cleveland Indians,
with park big enough to hold a
horse race. They'll have 12,500,
as against the 1900 at League
Park to open the 1882 season,
President Alva Bradley announced
this morning. This is doing it
rather well. In fact, only the
Yanks, with 10000, do it better
But not all of baseball is a
party to the project. The Giants,
it is believed, plan to make no
increase Of their 4,000-allotment
against a park capacity of $1,000,
it being understood that Mr..
Charley Stoneham never speaks
of increases without first peering
furtively over the transom and
even then has been known to
shudder violently when the sub.
ject is carelessly and too suddenly
broached.
Enough Cheap Seats
The Cubs and White Sox are
not going for it, either, it being
their story that they have enough
of the cheap seats. Neither are
the two st. Louis clubs, which
have $500 seats at so and rs
cents. Apparently, the Athletics
are equally unimpressed with the
necessity Of making their base
ball easier to see.
AS for Pittsburgh, Sam Waters
an official Of the club, says it is
strictly "a grandstand town.
And all I care to add is that
the way things are, any grand
stand town Of yesterday Is liable
to be the soap-box town of to
morrow.

The boy pilot was found sitting

up to the subject. "Have you
figured 'em out yet?"
mo, / haven't made any deGA-
mite selections just yet, but I
can tell you the rockies in camp

instead of the veterans"
Joe began giving his reasons.
They were very interesting to
hear, and helped to explain why
he had been settled comfortably
in his chair and had been almost
thinking aloud for the past hour
by his glances into space.
Seeks Class
The time was just right to
give the rockies the chance
they've been waiting for, he said.
Besides, he wanted to find out
just which of the group had
enough class to stick with the
Griffmen this year.
The veterans? Well, they could
wait until later for their chances
to get under fire. True, they
were exceptionally anxious to
pitch, but the worth of the
rockies just had to be decided,
and decided as soon as possible.
Yes, the vets would get their
chances next week. Yes. it would
be taking quite risk to throw
them into the picture at this
early stage of the year when the
weather has not yet settled down
to normalcy. even though every
man was in the best condition OF
his career.

Grill youngster. while Ellsworth

to see service before the several
contests are ended.
Each pitcher, whether he starts
or not, will travel but three in
