No. SO: Making Radio Pay

What are you getting out of
radio?" some one asked Smith re-
Gently.
Plenty of entertainment and some
times little education" he replied.
why do you ask?"
Because" explained the acquaint-
ance, "a lot of people are turning
radio into genuine profit. and 1
thought you might be. one of them.
Usually you're up on all these new
tangled ideas"
That was enough for Smith. With
in q half hour he had called me on the
phone and invited me around for the
evening Ito discuss radio"
l thought he was going to start a
broadcasting station. he looked so seri-
Gus sitting there at the dials and medi-
tating. In time, however, I came to
learn that he was endeavoring to get
more out Of his set, but the way he
was going at 1t was amusing indeed.
Simply case of trying to pull in as
many stations as he could. irrespec-
tive of what those stations were put
ting on the air.
They're running a series of lee
lures on drawing; why don't you take
advantage Of it?" l asked.
What do I want with instructions
in drawing?" he countered. 1T would
be waste of time"
But you're wasting something just
as valuable" I retorted You're
wasting an opportunity. Several times
you told me about that young woman
in your office and how If she could
only do some of your art work in the
circular matter she'd be a gold mine
for you. You send all that work out,
and yet If you could just put her wise
to these radio hints, why"
Smith interrupted to ring up Miss
Jones and suggest to her the value of
tuning in on the drawing instruc-
tions.
There's some pretty good selling
talks being put on over at WJOB,"
said. when he returned. That ought
to be pretty good stuff for your man
Doe to listen to. He might pick up
some good pointers. I suppose he's
wasting his time on some love songs
and market reports. However. this
will keep until you see him tomor-

1t is true, of course, that some
bowlers do not appear to be affected
one way or another. but it is the gen
eral average that must be considered.
Anyway, the veteran follower of the
game offers a study in statistics, with
out mentioning names, to drive home
his point:
A team was recently formed to en-
ter new league, it's members being
picked from the high men of an eight
team closed league. These men con-
sistently average in their Office league
around 108-110. Bowling with the
new league on different alleys they
have a team average Of around 485
for the first Is games, and not a
member is shooting for better than
104 and only two are above the 100
mark. During this same period the
men have kept up their 10S-110 shoot
ing in the other league.
Write your own ticket!
Every now and then a bowler breaks
into the limelight when, shooting at
anchor for his team, he comes
through with a need mark in the final
box and wins the contest. Fugett,
the Federal League, doubled up on
this feat in a recent game against In
terror. Each man was shooting two
boxes, and F'ugett went into the ninth
faced with the necessity of getting
marks and good counts in both the
ninth and tenth to save his team from
defeat. He got both the marks and
the counts and swept Commerce to
victory by SIT to Sis margin.
Managers of several Of the larger
alleys Of the city are prepared to sup
port enthusiastically the plan to
launch a city-wide duckpin league for
womens teams. They believe that a
women's organization patterned after
the mems District League, that stages
it's contests on various drives about
town instead of centering It's atten-
tons upon a particular ablishment,
will be of incalculable benefit to all
concerned. Three of the more prom
lnent alleys already have announced
they will back teams If the circuit is
formed, and there are many among
the fair boWlers eager to step into
such a league. The organization of
such a circuit would in no way affect
women's leagues already in existence.
Instead 1t should make the game of
duckpins much more attractive for
the woman maple shooters than 1t has
been in the past. And the fair ones
are quite keen about the game now.
