IN j. s.
Massachusetts, Man Picks Up
Program Broadcast From
Eiffel Tower.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE first
radio concert heard in America
transmitted from the Eifel Tower,
Paris, France. was intercepted Sat
urday night. by Bert Moulton,
Chatham. Mass. MouIton Is en-.
ployed at the Radio Corporation
Of America coastal station at Chat
han. Mass, besides operating his
own experimental station.
The powerful station on the Eifej
Tower, with the call LISTERS STR"
operated by the CoInpagnie Fran.
caise De Radiophone, used wave
length OF 1880 meters, and broad
cast a special program intended for
American listeners between 5 D. m.
and p. m, e. 8. r.
A carefully calibrated receiver
employing four tubes was used,
and Moulton listened to the French
broadcast program for, over an
hour. He heard instrumental ana
vocal selections at 6ae p. m. and
held them until tbs p. m.
1t was the first time regular con-
cert from France was received in
America. Station SIR used 1000
watts. which is twice as much
power as American broadcast sta
tons use, and it is also significant
that the wave length used was
much higher than the AVERAGE
broadca6tiRg wave length. Static
and the fat that little previous
notice of the test was given to
American listeners. was responsible
for the small American audience.

An true sporting fans throughout the country are roofing fer the Washington club to come through in order to give Walter his isng-awalted chance in a world series.
 Washington won the second game of the series here yesterday. 5-1. Mainly through the pitching efforts of the mighty Johnson who held the Yanks scoreless until hot smash from Wally schang's mat landed on his pitching hand and forced him 10 retire from the game. Marberry who replaced Johnson in the eighth inning, was reached for the Tanks lone tally.
 Goslin. left fielder of the Senators. was again the batting hero of the day getting his second homer of the series and two singles, scoring three runs and driving in a fourth.
 Detroit lost ground when the Ti- gers dropped double header in St. Louis, 80 and 7-6, and are now five games behind the Senators and three and half games behind the Yam kees in second place. Dixie Davis shut out the Cobbmen the first game and a three run rally in the ninth inning of the second game gave the Browns their second victory.

 St. Louis licked the Cub in free hitting game in the Windy City, 12 to 5. Though outhit Is to F the Cardinals blows came when bits ceunted. Hornsby was forced to re- tire from the game because of a wrenched back, but before going to the showers he increased his batting average with single in one time at bat.
 The Braves landed hard on the offerings of Oeschger and Couch of the Fletcher crew winning nine inning game, 6-4.
