The following from the Woiid Ilerald tells of the trials and tribu lations of the league that North Omaha was instrumental in starting and in which they seem to have lost their leadership: "The game of "champion, cham pion, who is the champion?" which has been going on discreetly in the Interstate league for the past few days, considerably heightened Mon day when both the president and the secretary of the league promised to take a hand in the hunt. "The eight-day search for a cham pion started immediately after the game at Plattsmouth in which J F. Wolff's team of Plattsmouth, ad ministered a 9 to 1 defeat to the North Omaha Athletic club. "North Omaha needed just this game to give its club the champion ship, and the loss threw them into a tie with the Platters, and made the closing day of the loop decidedly vexatious for them. Claim Pitcher Ineligible. Later in the week it developed that Plattsmouth had used a new pitcher, and the North Omahans said he was ineligible. Phillips is the name of Mr. Wolff's new pitch er, the one who scored the 9 to 1 victory. "According to the rules formulated at the start of the seasons, two things can make one Ineligible for the Interstate league. One is being too good for the rest of the play ers, and the other is failing to have a contract signed four days before the game. The North Omahans al leged that Phillips is ineligible by both rules. Sent Substitute Team. "Meanwhile the Plattsmouth team was all agog, expecting to entertain the North Omahans again, in a play-off game. That was to be last Sunday. But by the time Sunday came, the North Omaha nine after it over had become certain that Phillips was ineligible, and sent the Broken Down Giants, an amateur colored team, to Platts mouth to take their place. "Mr. Wolff then claimed the pen nant, by virtue of a forfeit victory, only to find that his claim was sec ond on the waiting list. "Duce Belford, the president promised to do what he could, as soon as he heard from the secretary. Was There a Meeting? "Frank Hammond is secretary, and gave his pomise that he would poduce a champion within 24 hous. The 24 hours will expire at 5 o'clock Tuesday. "There was an unconfirmed rumor Monday that a meeting had been held last Friday, and the matter decided. Meetings are not a novelty in the Interstate league, however, as they became quite used to them while trying to get the circuit organized at the first part of the season, and it family, Robert Roddy and family and Roy Mullis and family of Omaha; James Roddy and family.

Mr. II. P. Davis. Vice-President of the Westinghouse Company, said that the device, although still in the laboratory stage, is such an advanced development that early commercial application is possible. Officials of the company said that regular motior picture broadcasting from station KDKA will probably begin in a few months. the motion pictures were sent by radio for a distance of two miles. It would be equally as simple to send them across the continent provided receiving equipment were available 3000 miles away, Westinghouse en-. gineers declared. The process was developed by Dr. Frank Conard, assistant chief en gineer of the Westinghouse labora-! tories. Only a few months of work he said, were required in order to make the previously developed meth-" ods of photographic transmission ap-; plicable to the radio projection of f motion pictures. The first sten in transmitting the picture is the passing of a pencil of, light across the motion picture fUm. It travels across each individual pic ture CO times, covering the entire scene in one-sixteenth of a second As the light passes through the film it falls on a photo-electrical cell which transmits electrical impulse?) that vary as the light becomes strong 1 or weak. The electrical impulses controlled by the photo-electric cell are then transformed into frequencies which are transmitted by radio. Some of i these freauencies are within theifh said, and would sound like notes received on an ordinary radio se The receiving apparatus reconverts, the frequencies into electrial im-ip . . d . . 1 T, I if ' puises moving pencil 01 ngni which reproduces the picture on the screen nard ' t; es ifif l" t. r iii zr?z?m vi ism:: i.i II I I CELEBRATES BIB-THDAY From Tuesday's Oatly Yesterday being the fourteenth birthday anniversary of Miss Roanna Meisinger, the event was most fitting ly observed at the home of her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Meisinger Jr., in the north part of the city.
