Of Season Ideas Vary.

TODAY they were, for the most part
en- route home. Rookie Johnny
Mihalic was hurrying to Chattanooga

Some Of them won't be back, but
still they can look back on a season
that must be put down as far and
away the most successful, from all
angles. since Washington won It's last
pennant in 1888.
Before bowling out, they gave quite
show yesterday. Overcoming a one
run lead gained by the Yanks in the
first inning, the Griffs made it 81
in their half Of the frame, when Stone
tripled after Lewis had singled and
Sington hit one-baser to score
Johnny. In the second they bumped
Johnny Broaca for four hits, includ-
ing triples by Lewis and Stone, and
boosted the count to 81.

Appleton Great in Relief Role.

NEWsoM, one of the disappoint-
ments of the late season, couldn't
hold the lead. The Yanks scored a
run in the third when Crosetti
homered. run in the fifth and then
chased Buck by scoring two more in
the sixth, This tied the score and
brought Appleton to Newsom's rescue
: Pete did a great job. pitching three
hitless and runless innings after strik-
ing out Di Maggie to end the sixth.
Then, in the seventh and eighth,
Washington clinched the game by
. pounding Rookie Kemp Wicker. who
relieved Johnny Murphy, after the
: latter had taken Broaca's place.
Wicker gave up two walks, singles
to Stone and Hogan, and double to
Mihalic in the seventh, while Wash
tngton took 9-5 lead. In the eighth
Chapman doubled and scored when
Stone pumped his fifth straight hit to
right field. 1t was a swell au revoir
all around, although the Mats could
have used the extra sugar that went
with second and third places.

FOURTH SPOT HELD
FINE ACHIEVEMENT
Higher Finish Just Missed
When Yanks Are Beaten
- as Chisox Idle.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ oNTENTED as any gang Of
persons can be after losing
approximately $500 by half
percentage point third
place., and approximately $500 more
by half game second place., the
Nationals scattered and scurried
home today, base ball for the year
behind them.
Never given shot at the third
hole because the White Sox we're
fained out yesterday, the Washing
ingtons closed the season as they
opened it-by beating the Yankees
To add to their feeling of disappoint-
ment they noted that Detroit's sec
ond-place Tigers lost again and if the
Griffs had won the opener from New
York on Saturday they would have
finished second and collected some
thing like $500 per man.
Yet, for all of these eleyenth-hour
woes, there was cause for general
iubilance today as they scattered to
the East, West, North and South
They ran fourth and they were picked
to finish sixth or seventh. They beat
out the Red Sox, who were liked by
many to win the pennant. They ap-
parently picked up prize in Buddy

Travis will make the grade at short
stop. Joe Kuhel staged a noteworthy
comeback. Johnny Stone wound up
his biggest year. Ben Chapman has
proven cog long needed, etc.
Stone Has Big Day, Year.
TT was Stone, often overlooked
rarely touted, who rung down the
curtain in big way yesterday before
$4,000 fans. Pounding each of the
three pitchers used by the Yanks,
Johnny slapped two triples and three
singles for a perfect day at bat and
boosted his average to 1877. This

Uncle Sam Launches Court Battle
To Break Up Border Radio enegudes

TINcLE SAM has started another
campaign against so-called "out-
law" American broadcasters who have
taken refuge across the border in
Mexico and set up renegade" sta
tions in efforts to serve the same old
listening clientele.
AS the opening gun, the Federal
authorities have obtained indictments
against Norman Baker, erstwhile
Muscatine, Iowa, broadcaster, whose
Station KTNT was taken OF the wave
lengths five years ago because he ad-
vertised alleged cancer cures and at
tackled various individuals in radio
talks. Baker later established Station
KENT at Neuvo Laredo, Mexico,

and has been Sprinkling his new radio
offerings throughout the South and
Middle West behind $4,000 watts.
Within the last 10 days the Federal
Communications Commission sent to
Laredo its ace trouble shooter, Maj.
A. v. Dalrymple, F. c. C. attorney,
who used to be director of prohibi-
ton under the Department Of Justice.
Indictments were procured by him in
the Federal District Court, charging
Baker and two Of his associates with
violating the communications act by
maintaining studio in the United
States, which relayed programs across

transcriptions and transporting them

Static and Fading appear Doomed
Under attacks of Radio Techniciuns

SUCCESSFUL technical attacks on
two fronts against radios worst
enemies, static and fading, were dis
closed to Federal officials here last
week by inventors of new expert
mental apparatus. the eventual adapt
tation of which to everyday use may
mark tremendous strides toward i'm

One of the inventors, Maj Edwin
H. Armstrong, professor of electrical
engineering at Columbia University
and noted inventor of the feedback
and superheterodyne circuits, dis
closed a "staticless" system of So
called frequency modulation" which
makes it possible to transmit programs
on the ultra-short waves farther and
with greater clarity than superpower
Transmission on the ordinary broad

The other invention Is a so-called
"dual diversity" receiving set designed
by James J. Lamb, technical editor
of QST, publication of the American
Radio Relay League, the organization
of $4,000 United States amateur ra-
dio operators. This device is said TO
make possible reception both on the
broadcast and the short waves over
long distances practically free from

Today, almost anywhere in Europe,
one can tune in the broadcasts OF a
multiplicity of countries almost any
night with a good receiver, thanks
largely to high power which makes the
proximity of borders all the nearer.
With propaganda rife on the wave
lengths of the government-operated
stations, particularly in the dictator
countries, the implications are obvi-
GUS. Some taste Of this propaganda
is already being given American own
ers of all-wave radios, who on the
short waves can tune in nightly the
news reports, usually cleverly larded
with splendid music, from the highly
efficient stations of Germany and
Italy, for example.
noes Father Charles E. Coughlin
~ intend to remain silent during
the Forthcoming national political
conventions and campaign? This
question was asked in political and
radio circles when it was disclosed
that the Detroit radio priests Sunday
afternoon broadcasts over his inde-
pendent hookup of about 80 stations
were concluded last Sunday.
Father Coughlin, it was announced,
will return to the air on or about
October %, having completed his usual
Fall and Winter schedule of 26 weeks.
In the interim, of course, the Repub-
lican and Democratic national con-
ventions will be held, and Father
Coughlin's scheduled temperance on
the wave lengths does not come until
the very eve Of the elections in No.
vember.
The Detroit priest may be heard
occasionally on the regular networks,
but it is doubtful whether those Or
ganiZations will sell him time for po-
litical broadcasts on a regular sched-
ule, even during the campaign. At
one time he was heard on the Co.
lumbia network, which later rejected
his talks, even though he offered to
pay for the time, because Of their
political character. His recent radio
campaign cost him $4,000 for station
time and for the wires connecting the
hookup, which extended all the way
to the Pacific Coast.
FIRST of the big political blasts Of
the forthcoming campaign will
come during the Republican National
Convention at Cleveland June 9. with
the keynote speech scheduled for 8
pm. in order to get maximum audi
ence and with the regular proceedings
to be aired over the N.BC., CHS. and
Mutual networks throughout the en-.
suing days. Arrangements for the
