"R0xIE" TO BE HEAD
OF RADIO ANNOUNCERS
Accepts Presidency of New Organ
ization to Meet Tomorrow
at Providence.

S, l.. Rothafel of the Capitol Thea
ter in New York, better known as
"Roxie," will head the new associa-
ton of broadcasting station announc-
ers, who will meet in Providence, r.
L., tomorrow night to perfect their
organization.
'Roxie" has accepted the presi-
dency of the new association, 1t was
announced in New York last night,
and those chosen to aid him include
H. w. Arlin of KDKA, first vice pres
ident; Arthur +. Ebes of WBZ. Sec
ond vice president; Thurston Seabury
of WkAP. treasurer, and H. j. Man.
chester of WDWF, secretary. All an
nouncers in the United States and
Canada with listed stations will be
invited to become active members,
and owners and operators of all listed
stations to become associate members.
The organization had it's inception
at the suggestion of the Dutee Will
cox Flint of Providence. one of the
greatest radio fans in the country,
and owner of WDWF in that city.
Through George Sphinx, the director
of entertainment at station WDWF,
many of the most prominent voices of
the air were approached regarding
the organization, and all felt that d
club of the radio announcers of
America would bring about an inter-
change of ideas that whould mean
betterment of broadcasting.

however, and will soon report on
broadcasting. Advertising experts
feel that radio has a time limit ana
that it's circulation is uncertain, COM
pared to other mediums; they believe
IL is probably an accessory.
Overworked, publicity is seen a
menace to advertisers instead or
benefit. Believing that the telephone
company has done the best job In
hroadcasting in the country, MIR.
Haase wonders IL this company can
keep up with public demands for bet
ter and better programs. Only 10
per cent of the programs compete
seriously with bridge, theaters and
literature. he asserts. When artists
demand payment, how can this ex-
pense be Laughed off,? he asks
prospective advertisers should make
a thorough study of conditions and
possibilities before trying radio ad-
vertising, Mr.. Haase concludes. And,
of course, the fans are thinking 1t
over pretty seriously themselves.

PHILADELPHIA, April U.s.
Paul Wanninger, twenty-one years

his second season of professional
baseball, is the next shortstop of
the Yankees. There Is no telling
just when the ALBANIAN will be
called on to jump into the berth
now held by Everett Scott, but
1t may be sooner than Is generally
expected.
There can be no denying the fact
that there is an air of uneasiness
in the New York club regarding
the shortstop situation. Scott has
had some bad days recently, but
he has had some good days too.
and it may be that with the con-
tlnuance of warm weather the vet
eran will be spryer in the field and
more effective at the bat. But
right now he has Miller Higgins
just a little worried, and he has

all and regains his old effective.

However, Higgins has given con-

and has decided that in the event
Scott must be Oenched, he will

to it. He went over to England
a 133-pounder and met and knocked
out the best welterweight
England ever had-Dick Burge,
who weighed 145 pounds and was
four inches taller than the Kid.
When / brought the Kid to the
National Sporting Club they almost
laughed out loud at the size of
him, One of them asked me: Is
this the little boy you brought over
to. fight our Dick Burger / said:
Yes, he'll look alot bigger when
you see him afteE the bell rings.
He must have looked like Jim
Jeffries to them. Layigne came
back to America and licked Joe
Wolcott, without doubt the great
est welterweight that ever lived.
Now, tell me, who could equal
that? Can you name me a light
weight who could do half that
well?"

LORD BURGHLEY
LIKES OUR
LAND
Member of British Peerage
Says He Will Come Back
in July for Meets

Dave Burghley, known to his
pop and his NOM as Lord David
Burghley, pronounced 'Burlee,' who
came over here to show the folks
how to run the hurdles, and who
won the 400 meter hurdles in the
Penn relays, departed from our
shores To-Day. He left an impress
sion thta he was a real democrat.
even though he traces his ancestry
back through England's most ia
nous peerage.
His Lordship rode around Phila-
delphia in a street car. He made
many hearts flutter, though it Is
doubtful if he knew that when he
was pointed out to the young
ladies as an object much to be de-
sired.
Lord Burghley is still in his
very early twenties. He is su-
premely unaffected, and further
more, he likes our bloody country,
and is coming back in July.
