The sport fans of Skowhegan will
be pleased to note that they can OBJ
tain the results of all the big college
football games. Some will come III
direct from the stadium where the
games are played and others Will be
broadcasted. Each Saturday George
& Harry Smith will get these games
via radio, which will be installed in
their store on Water street and every
one is welcome to come in and hear
these results, starting at p. m.
The Eagle Club, also located in
Skowhegan, will soon have set in
their Club rooms on Water street. AT
their meeting last Friday night they
spent a part of the evening deciding
about this matter and in all probabili-
ty will come to a final decision some
time this week, as to which set will
meet their demands.
DR.. \. B. Borden has installed
radiola No. A set in his office and
home here and on Saturday night OBJ
tanned such good results that the mu-
sic coming in was heard in George d
Harry Smiths store downstairs. Inc
following stations were listened to by
DR.. Borden, Omaha. Pittsburgh, Cleve-
land, Schenectady, New York City
and Chicago.
At Bingham Mr. and Mrs. A. S.
Burke have installed a Grebe set and
have been obtaining very good results
over this machine The atenna which
is attached to their hook-up is not
quite complete, but will be completed
possibly before the end of the week.
They are also going to have an aerial
erected at their summer home, locat-
ed about four miles from Bingham, SO
that they may take their set with
them at any time they may wish to
go to their bungalow.
Mr.. Atkins of bingham who has
installed many sets in that vicinity
has been getting good results with
many different hook-ups in that sec
ton. Mr.. Coleman, young man OF
Bingham is quite adept in making sets
and has also obtained quite reputa-
ton in that line.
During the time that the editor OF
this column has been listening in to
the many different sets which have
come to his notice he has taken parti-
cular attention to the fact that the
person operating the sets has tried
to get many different stations in one
evening. Possibly if these radio fans
would pick out a station which Is Civ
ing an excellent program and follow
this program throughout the evening,
they would be more satisfied in the
end with the results obtained. Many
of the owners of sets mentioned above
have company call on them to listen
TO a program, and altho the operator
of the set may not think SO, he is dis
interesting his audience or company
by trying to obtain different stations
instead of getting the best results
from one station.
1t has also been carefully noted
that up to about eight o'clock in the
evening the majority of radio fans are
annoyed by static conditions and in
terruptions which come from the tele-
graph company. But as most of the
programs of the evening start at 7.45
p. m, this condition is partly elimin-
ated. At other times the telegraph
interference can hardly be heard.
