Heinie Miller gave US a great
little surprise through WRC last
night with his summary OF the big
fights, at the Polo Grounds. New
York.
We had spent about two hours
trying to listen to the~fights from
the ringside through WGBS but
had found too much static to make
it enjoyable and had then switched
to KDKA and listened to a syn
thetic report from that station
which was relayed by telegraph.
Our time had been wasted be-
cause we learned more about what
had been happening In Miller's ten
minute talk than we had all evening
from. the other stations.
1t was interesting to note how
the different experts awarded the
various rounds. II Walker had been
given credit for every round one
Of the experts declared was his. he
would have won easily.
The Harmonious Quartet gave us
little "peppy' harmony from
WRC which was quite different
from any of the quartet selections
we have been hearing lately. We
liked the variety.
1t was during their recital that
cur friend from California told US
that in that marvellous state they
have radios which tune 20 sharply
that If you don't like all OF a
quartet you can tune out three OF
the voices and listen to a solo by
one Of them.

IDENTIFY just reached California.
The LIE Paradis orchestra played
one Of the most enjoyable waltz
medleys last night we have heard
for months. It included several
old harmony pieces not usually
played az dance music, such as
Carry Me Back to Old Virginia.
It's good the second game yester.
day didn't go into extra innings.
BY the time William M. Sweets,
the baseball announcer had told
about nineteen innings OF run.

was almost gone. One more inning
