CUBS ANO REDS INVADE THE EAST By Davis J. Walsh, IN’S Sports Editor. Now York. June 2 Tlie ding-dong race in the National league is about duo to ring some* Chinese ns an obligato what with the big four of the west venturing Into this section for first and at least one eastern clnl> showing an inclination to arise anti do battle against the invaders in collaboration with the Giants. They say the lest of a ball clubs fighting soul is met only on the toad, therefore the ensuing twenty days should tell us niuc h about the Cubs, Beds. Cardinals and Pirates. The latter, for example, either are going to start winning now or abandon further pretense* of being a championship club. They must play to an average of at least .65(1 on tills road trip, if thev expect to figure in tlie immediate proceedings with any degree of pt eminence. The Reds | will have a few questions they must | answer, too. during their absence from Cincinnati. But, unlike the Pirates, theirs wifi not be a question of improvement but one dealing with an inquiry as to how long they can sustain the gallant pace that carried them to the head of the league and kept them there. If the club can win a few more games than it loses on this trip, it will have to he definitely I accepted as a pennant contender of | the first rank — something the wise | men of the east have declined to do : to date. There is. in fact, a disposition here to lank the Cubs and Cards with the Pirates as the most serious threat I from the west against the-chances of the Giants bringing a pennant east , for the first time since 1924. How- i ever, much of this attitude will be sub- I ject to change unless the Pirates can : do something in the east they have ; been unable to do at home, i e.. win. 1 If any outfit ever could afford to lose • a few ball games, it isn't the Pittsbuigh Pirates at this moment. The Cubs, too, will have to rouse themselves in the next few weeks or stand convicted of being a poor road club. ' which almost means tliat they can't ami won't win the pennant. Show me a club that only can win at home ami I’ll show yon one that figures to miss a pennant vi< tory in a race such os Ihis. The Cubs and Reds must take slightly tlie worst of the going at the I outset, the former being coupled with i the Giants in a three-game series. I starting tomorrow, while the trailblazing Reds are in Boston. The hit- • ter is "hot" right now. having under- | gone a rather revolutionary change for the better since Hornsby took | charge. The Cincinnati-Boston ser- ■ ies opened yesterday. So did the ! Cardinal-Phillies meeting 'in Philadel- I phia. the idea being to get the jump i on the closed Sunday that prevails in those cities. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, wil lopen in Brooklyn tomorrow, this being something of a break for Rreyfuss and Bush in view of the fact that the Dodgers have been going none too well, if at all, in recent weeks. However, the Pirates have been hurrying nowhere at a terrible clip themselves. | so I guess it is all even. * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * ¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥*¥¥¥ (U.R) Paul Wane!

Me. i.i on, the youngster taken f. on: a >..th"rn high school to assist the , York Giants to win ball games, fulfilled his role by delivering toe winning punch which enabled McGraw's club to beat the Brooklyn Robins, 4 to 3. The Pittsburgh Pirates suddenly found their batting eyes yesterday and walloped the Chicago Cubs, 10 to 4. Reinhart of the Cardinals shut out the Phillies, 1 to 0. extending the losing streak of the National league cellar occupants to seven straight. The Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians, 5 to 4, making a clean sweep of the series, and passing the Boston Red Sox. Get the Habit—Trade at Home, it Pays i

LICENSE FEE HELD UNJUST Much agitation is being aroused in Indiana and throughout the country over lhe attempt of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. to collect license fees for the use of copyrighted music, received on radio receiving sets, in hotels, dance halls, resorts, theatres, etc., and used for profit In those establishments. The license fees are said to Ibe exhorbitant and unjust, in many | cases, J. W. Rico, Decatur hotel proprietor, has received a letter from the Indianapolis office of the Society, relative to tlie payment of a license fee on his lailio, which he operates in tlie lobby of his hotel. Mr. Rice declares that li< s is not using his radio or the music lor profit. Tlie Society contends, however. that Mr. Rica is using the radio | music for the entertainment of his patrons, and therefore, must pay a | license fee. Radio broadcasters ,pay for the light to broadcast the music. Following is a letter received by Mr. Rice relative to the question: American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Indianapolis, Indiana. Prop. Rice Hotel, May 7,192 S Decatur, Indiana. Dear Sir: We are attorneys for the above Society in this state and have represented it for a number of years in the collection of royalties from establishments using its copyrighted music ■ for profit, and in filing suits to eni force the rights of its members under | tlie provisions of the Federal Copyright Law. It is absolutely necessary Tor you to have a license for tlie use in your establishment of copyright music controlled by this Society. Theatres, hotels, dance halls, resorts, etc., are required to have such a license. This is tine no matter whether it is played by a victrola, piano, player piano, organ, orchestra or in any manner whatsoever. Neither does it make any difference as to how you obtained the music, whether it was bought or given to you, or whether the musicians furnish the same; it is still necessary for the manager or owner of the establishment to have a license for the public performance of the music. Herewith is a list of publishers whose music is controlled by this Society. Yoq will find on the first page a further notice of this requirement, if you do not understand it, take it up with your attorney at once. Should you be found infringing in the use of music after this notice, it will lie our duty to bring suit against you in the United Sates District Court. The playing of any substantial part of a single composition constitutes an infringment on which you may be subject to suit and damages not exceeding $5,000 nor less than $250.00. In order to be fair with you this notice is given before sending inspectors into your establishment. The Society is determined to see to it that all who use its music for profit pay so; tlie privilege. You will find herein an application blank which yon may use if you care to take out i a license. Very truly yours, Paul R. Summers. P. S—This applies for radio recep- , tion as well as by other forms. ii^. —o THE BIG FIVE Player GARB HHR Pct Hornsby 39 137 31 56 6 .409 Ruth 39 142 48 52 19 .366 -Gehrig .42 155 38 54 10 .348 lepbb 36 152 19 47 1 .309 Speaker ... . 37 150 25 43 3 .287 Dancing at Sun Set Sunday , night.

Cable reports from Europe Indicate that the Germans will be stronger contenders for Olympic honors than was at first supposed. _ Within the past throe weeks, there ’ have been claims for three new world's records made on behalf of German , athletes. Surprising strength In field events, especially with the weights, has been disclosed during athletic meets in Silesia and Westphalia. Records which have remained on the books of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United State sfor more than 20 years have been wiped out by German strong men. Experience has shown that it does not take many first places outside the field events to assure a nation first place at any given Olympiad The United States for more than 20 years but one American won a running race. Jealous Europeans called us "mon keys and acrobats" because we won a majority of our points at Paris in events such as hiydles and the pole vault. It will be obviously unfair to criticize the Germans if they score heavily in the field events instead of on Hie track. Germany's chances in tlie Olympic running events are rattier slim. In the first place, it appears that Dr. Otto Peltzer probably will be unable to compete. His loss will lie a source of regret to sportsmen everywhere, for the holder of the world's outdoor record for the half mile run is recognized as one of the really great middle distance runners of all time. The 800 metres run at Amsterdam will not be the same event, with Pelt zer absent. Following his visit to tlie United States. Peltzer dislocated his ankle and the injury proved so serious that he has been advised that he cannot

Hans llirschfeld. new to fame but n mighty man with tlu* shot, is look--1 ed upon as a likely first place winner at Amsterdam. The German recent ' ly heaved the 16-pound ball consider--1 ably more than 51 feet. In so doing he bettered Ralph Rose’s imijk which was made a score of years ago. The United States will have some excellent shot putters at Amsterdam however, and the German strong man I will have to lie at his best. Stan Kuk, formerly of Kansas State Teachers , College, also has bettered 51 feet in competition tills year, while Eric Kreuz of Stanford is good for better than fin feet. Germany's sprinters will require a bit of eliminating at Amsterdam, but none lias reached Hie speed <if which Charley Borah and some of our own youngsters have proved themselves capable. It is certain that the Germans will be trying for points in all departments of track and field competition. They an* sending the largest delegaion of athletes to Amsterdam, stubbornly bent upon winning a place in the Olympic sun. Germany, you see. never has wop an individual Olympic gold medal since the games were revived in 1896. No German has finished first in any Olympic track or field event, save one relay runner whose team was promptly disqualified for infraction of the* rules. Brann one of Germany's greatest

middle distance runners before the war just failed to break the tape in an Olympic 800 metres rim, and mine of the various German athletes who have come forward from one Olym- | piad to'another has been able to win a first place. This year, it may be different. If tin- Olympic games were scored upon some definite point system, such
