general unhappiness which preyailed in 1947.
New York, Feb. 17—(UP)—The Pittsburgh Pirates, who finished at the bottom in the National league last season, reversed themselves today and led the field for a change, being the first club in the majors to report all players signed up and happy for 1948.
The Pirates, with a new manager, Bill Meyer from Kansas City, and with virtually a complete new starting lineup, are the number one dark horse team in the National league race. There was a brand new attitude among the players from the
I-M Schedule
Not a bonafide holdout was listed during the entire period of salary negotiations and the club had to deal with some established major league stars. These included Dixie Walker, the old "Pride of Flatbush," who admitted that in his first year at Pittsburgh he is being paid more than he ever made in Brooklyn or anywhere else; Pitchers Kirby Higbe, Hal Gregg, and Vic Lombardi, three more ex-Dodger sharpies; and Ralph Kiner, the sophomore home run star who blasted 51 round-trippers last season.

It is because of the new microwave relay equipment. This technique, which picks up the television, gives it a boost and sends it along to another station, already has been tested in the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., region, deep in the Wyoming valley.
The test of a program broadcast from New York 105 miles away was made by the Radio Corporation of America and the National Broadcasting Company. Persons in the Wilkes-Barre area saw their first television.
America, Ill.—(UP)—The honeymoon dreams of the newlywed Mr. and Mrs. Harve Calvin, Jr., went up in smoke when their new home here, financed by a G. I. loan, burned to the ground while they were being married in a church a few miles away.
Dreams Go Up In Smoke
The door to the receptionist's office, one of the narrowest in Milwaukee is slightly less than 18 inches wide.
Television differs from radio in that it follows a line of sight, and thereby any obstruction such as a mountain interrupts the program. The curvature of the earth prevents the successful sending of television more than 50 to 75 miles.
Coaxial cables have been used to transmit television, and such cables are being laid through the south and southwest. Television experts believe, however, that the microwave relay stations, which do away with the cable, will be the answer to getting television "over the humps."
