mS radio a good thing for baseball? Is the broadcast of the games helpful or harmful to financial interests of the sport? Does radio, by the publicity it gives the game, make more fans

among those who have only a smattering of the pastime, -than it keeps away by offering a Tuning account of the game while sitting in a soft chair with all the comforts of home? The major leagues are not certain upon this point and they

are giving it much thought. It wouldn't surprise me if a special meeting was called to consider the new menace or help to the patronage, the radio. For a time, the majority of big league managers vetoed the idea, but a few permitted it. Now the practice is becoming quite general. During my recent stay of 10 days in St. Louis, judging from the attendance, it struck me as if the radio was detrimental to the gate receipts. Any number of people told me how they enjoyed the ball game over the radio but 1 noted no great outpouring of fans at the Browns park. Tilings to Be Considered nzrnRUE, I came into St. Louis after the New York Yankees 1 1 had beaten the Browns four straight games. That was a severe jolt, yet I understand a timely base hit would have won three of those games. New York was forced to the limit to win each one. The defeat of the Browns by the champion Yankees no doubt left a sour taste, although I am told the crowds were only ordinary at the games with New Ygrk. Another factor also must be considered. The Cardinals, the National League entry, are the world champs. Naturally that makes ’em the favorites, even though such a rating is only temporary. While the Browns were playing at home in May, the Cardinals were being trounced in the east. That condition didn’t make_—for enthusiasm among the St. Louis fans and, of course, reacted against the Browns. The bad weather also must be figured in reaching a decision on the efficiency of radio as a ballyhoo for baseball. Cold and rainy weather is a great handicap. But the fact remains. In several cities where the games ate being broadcast this spring, the attendance has shrunk considerably. Warm Weather Will Tell —— HEN better weather sets in, I [YY/j feel that a far more correct I W { decision can be reached relative to the good or bad influences of radio on the gate receipts. I worked perhaps a half dozen games during the first six weeks of play that were fitted for anything other than baseball, just ideal for football. Fans who ventured into the cold concrete stands on such days invited pneumonia. I would say the fan who lit the okl pipe, dropped back into the rocking chair, looked at the thermometer to see that the house registered 70 and then turned on the radio to listen to the game' was far wiser than the fan who paid real money and gambled with pneumonia. .So until the weather gets warmer, more propitious for baseball, it probably will be impossible to tell whether the magnates are wise or foolisli in permitting the broadcast of games.

By Willard R. Smith, United Press Staff Correspondent MADISON. Wls., May 28. —The University" of Michigan track team stood out today as the leading contender for the Big Ten track and field honors in the finals this afternoon. The Wolverines qualified sixteen men in the eleven events of the qualifying round Friday. The squad is well balanced. lowa was second In qualifying with ten men, while the strong Illinois team advanced only nine contenders for the finals. Northwestern advanced eight and Wisconsin and Ohio State qualified seven each. The track wds heavy Friday and there were few indications that this condition would be relieved much today. Despite this fact, good speed was made in the prelim dash events. Einar Hermansen, young sprinter of Northwestern, who flashed into prominence in a quadrangular meet two weeks ago. continued on his winning way Friday. With a gy?at burst of speed he crowded out the fleet Hester of Michigan in the century. Even with the heavy track Hermansen negotiated the distance in a 9 8-10 seconds. Sittig of Illinois, Lovett of Michigan and Rinehart of Indiana all turned in good performances in the qualifying rounds. Sittig did the half mile in 1:58 5-10. Lovette, who qualified in three events, put the shot 46 feet and 3 inches, while Rinehart tossed the javelin 172 feet stj inches.

Downpour of Rain Friday Afternoon Interferes With Race Activties. A dozen racing machines lined uy> at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway pits this morning, mechanics tunip.g up the motors in preparation for totoday's yualifying trials. Trials were to be held from 10 to 12 this morning and from 2 to 5 this afternoon. Fourteen cars were expected to at tempt to qualify today. Heavy showers Friday aOernoon caused the postponement of the day's qualifying trials scheduled for 3 o’clock. The rain kept pouring down, and after waiting vainly until 5 o’clock W. D. Edenburn, representative of the A. A. A. contest board, called the day's trials off. Those expected to attempt their qualification trials today were George Fernic in his Miller Special, leased from George Louie Schnieder, Miller Special: Tony Gulotta.

Railbirds at the track are becoming more and more enthusiast!' j about Monday’s 500-mile grind and express the opinion the winner lies between five pr six drixers—Lock-1 hart De Paolo, Duray, Hartz, Lewis and Elliott. Many seem to be of the opinion! that if Lockhart's car keeps running no driver on the track will be able to overtake him. AVithout a doubt Lockhart has one of the fastest race cars in America. In his recordsmashing qualification trials the young coast flash was traveling at a 140-mile-an-hour gait in front and back .-:tretches. Jules lfllingboe wheeled his front drive Cooper Special out on the track early Friday morning, evidently intending to qualify. The outburst from the clouds forced him back to the garages.
