MIDDIES AND OTHERS
WERE AMONG PIKERS

Something extra highprlced in the
vay 0f experience came to Annapolis
on Saturday fn the form of wagers on
the NayyGeorgia Tech game. made
hy suave stranger who represented
himself as being the agent OF pool
operated by Philadelphia sportsmen.
This experience was quickly gained
by members OF the midshipmen body
OF the Naval Academy and not few
civilians who we're eager TO stake
their money on the game. and it was
so cleverly worked that no one sus-
pected that his bet was not safely
covered" until after the game was
over and he attempted to cash his
winnings, which were represented by
certified checks.
How "Games Was Worked
The game was worked like this:
One Louis Weiss appeared at an An
napolis hotel and Is said to have stat
ed that he represented the Philadel-
phia pool" When he offered the
money Of his "pool' against that of
Navy, the bets began to he placed in
rather lively fashion. Weiss at first
offered to cover any amount that the
Navy hackers wanted TO put UP, and
they produced about $1,100 He then
stated that he had a certified check
for somewhat more than that amount
and that he would cover the full
amount Of the check If they could OBJ
tain the additional sum-
They All 4Blt- Easily
This was quickly done. and Weiss
check was accepted as his side of the
deal. Other betters came, and Weiss
then got possession of all the cash in
the pool" by cashing more of his GER
tilted checks from the funds in order
that he might cover some of the
"comers" with cash. as well as place
few side bots at the game. In some
instances he is said to have put up
check of double the amount that
he wished TO bet, taking the cash of
The other better in change.
At the conclusion of the deals Weiss
is said to have had in his possession
something like $2.500 OF the local
Sportsmen's money.

BIG Strides MADE

Thousands Of Plants Now
Seek to Meet Demand
Up 10000 Per Cent. !.
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May Ia new infant in
dustry, the manufacture of radio
equipment, has sprung up with an
amazing growth within year, and
much of 1t within asfew recent weeks.
From a few manufacturing shops a
year ago to thousands now, an in
crease Of $4,000 per cent in demand in
two years; business in which both
boys and great manufacturers are
taking profits.
The demand. which called 1t into
existence, is at present as tremendous
as it has been sudden. The new,
small concerns manufacturing radio
supplies are estimated by the Radio
Corporation of America as numbering
thousands. Figures of the same cor
poration show that whereas two years
ago. 1000 tubes a year were In de-
tubes q month will be called for.
Reports gathered from a number Of
states by the Associated Press show
that many boys and other amateurs
are constructing and selling outfits.
Three Boys Start Shop.
Three, years ago three boys in Chi
cago, sixteen and seevnteen years
old, began to make radio outfits. They
are now incorporated and carrying
on large business Their success
indicates the alluring possibilities In
this new industry of adventure. Its
alleged hazards were pointed out in
the prediction of an Official of one

ply houses. that II all the concerns
now engaged in making radio equip
ment should remain in the enter
prise, before long parts would be-
come drug on the market and that
by October l, the makers OF complete
sets would actively be soliciting busi-
ness.
That such situation would be a
reversal of present conditions Is indi-
Gated in the report Of another large
supply house, that it is two months
behind in filling its orders. and word
comes from all parts of the country
of a great shortage in apparatus.
The huge demand is ascribed to the
practice of free broadcasting.
There are now 100000 receiving sets
in the United States. according to the
these 100000 were said to be in the
middle west, and $4,000 to $4,000. ac-
cording to varying estimates. in Chi

Dealers declared that the sudden
ness of growth of this infant industry
and the fact that the number of
plants varies from day to day made
it impossible accurately to guage its
proportions. One dealer said that 1t
was impossible to estimate with any
certainty the extent Of the demand.
