Investigation Unit

Il Funds Are Voted
Up-to-Dute Methods Of
Collecting Data on -@
Stations Desired

Establishment Of division Of
investigation to collect its own in
formation on radio broadcast mat
ters is being considered by the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
it was learned yesterday. Increased
funds approved by the Budget Bu-
reau are to be used for this pur-
pose If Congress follows the budget s
recommendations.
Such a division, operated by a
corps Of experts. including lawyers
trained in investigative work after
the fashion of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation, is said to have been
a need of the commission for a
long time. In acting on matters
affecting radio broadcasting, it was
said, the commission now has to
rely mainly on information sup
piled by the parties concerned. 1t
has neither the funds nor the ma
chinery to collect information for
decisions in the public interest.
The Budget Bureau, it was re-
ported, cut $1,200.000 off the esti-
mates Of the commission, but al
lowed an increase of 100000, half
to be used for personnel and half
for equipment. The equipment
fund is another move to place the
Government agency abreast of de-
velopments in the industry.
The monitoring stations OF the
commission, located in various parts
of the country, which are sup
posed to check radio stations of all
classes - broadcast, point-to-point
telegraph, amateur, and police. are
said to be years behind the develop
ments, and cannot perform their

assigned duties successfully with
equipment regarded as virtually OBJ
solete. If Congress votes the fund
it will be used for improving these
stations, including complete rebuild
ing. These modernized stations also
will be used in connection with the
work Of the proposed division Of
investigation.
Among the duties contemplated
for the investigating group would be
inquiry into the financial setup Of
new applicants for broadcast facili-
ties as we'll as those already in the
field. Radio station control is ex-
pected to receive considerably more
attention by the commission than
in the past, and it is under
stood that the congressional appro-
priations subcommittee asked some
questions concerning the matter
when the commissioners were before

Only Hitting Records
Of Year Made by
Giants Homers
Seven Circuit WoIIops
Against Reds June 6
Set Two Marks
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Unless the
statisticians find. some time next
winter, that they have been making
tremendous mistake, Johnny Mize
of St. Louis is the 1899 batting
champion of the National League.
The final semi -official batting rec
ords, released today, served only to
confirm what had been known since
the end of the season last Sunday
that Johnny finished with a .349
average for 152 games. There were
only four players with higher marks,
but the only one who came near
regulars rating was another Cardi-
nal, Don Padgett. He had 1893
mark, but played in only 90 games
and had only 233 official times at
bat to 564 for Mize.
These figures won't be official, of
course, until a final recheck is made,
but that seldom, if ever, makes an
important difference.
Two Tie for Second.
Second place among the regulars
is shared by Frank (Buck) McCor-
mick of Cincinnati, another first
baseman, and the Cards Joe Med
wick with 1892 averages. Behind
them come Paul Waner. Pittsburgh;
1874; Morrie Arnovich, Philadelphia,
and Ival Goodman, Cincinnati, 1924;
Enos Slaughter, st. Louis. and Zeke
Bonura, New York, .3l9; Harry Dam
ming, New York, .314; and Hank Lei
Der, Chicago, and Buddy Hassett,
Boston, .309.
The seasons only hitting records
were made June 6, when the Giants
went on a home-run spree against
the Reds. They hit seven homers,
five in one inning and three in a row.
They totaled Is extra bases in that
inning. That made two new one
inning records, while the three
three straight equaled q record.
They duplicated that and the seven
homer total against the Phililes Au-
gust 13.
Werber Among Leaders.
The highest pitching honors went
to the pair mainly responsible for
putting Cincinnati's Reds into the
world series. Paul Derringer, with
Is victories and 7 defeats for .78l
average. topped the leagues pitch
ers for the second time. Bucky Wal
ters pitched 319 innings-31 complete
games and q victories-all high
marks for the season. Derringer
also had the longest winning streak
on the mound. 10 straight.
Other leaders included Bill Wer-
ber, Cincinnati, lis runs; McCor-
mick, 200 hits and 1913 runs batted
in; Hassett, 162 singles; Slaughter,
50 doubles; Billy Herman, Chicago,
l8 triples; Mize, 28 home runs; Lee
