all occasions. Kinda amateurish. Let us tell you, the WGY Players are the babies for presenting drama or com edy, as such should be presented.
 The ten round bout for the colored heavyweight championship Of the world certainly was realistic. It was presented at WGY by the Georgia Minstrel Boys who covered them sflves with glory. The shouts of the crowd, the voice of the announcer, the band music, the bell and last, but oh so far from least, the radio an- nouncer made up a real sporting event. The bout was between Sambo Flempsey and Rastus Dooney, and the announcer gave a detailed de- scription of the bout, sounding as if he were really watching a battle of the century" The announcer sound ed great deal like Judge, Jr., but of course wasn't he. The station came through loud, but there was slight fading. Excitement was kept up steadily throughout the strug- gle and we derived as much enjoy ment from the running story as we would from a real fight. Certainly, the atmosphere was there and we wouldn't be surprised If the boys are forced to repeat the presentation, as was the case with their take-off on tho nnn1 nnratio rnnuanfiOn tainly was full evenings entertain ment, coupled with the preliminary bout. The lady" which figured in one of the preliminaries at the re- cent world championship fights at the Sesqui, was described consider ably last night. It was a masterpiece of burlesque, with a touch of satire here and there. Now and then it was !, just a case of poking good old fun at the recent battle of the century" The fight ended when the lights | went out and both fighters were found to have been knocked out | when they were turned on again.
 The addition of a soloist to Emil | Heimberger's Hotel Bond orchestra 1 is a decidedly pleasant. one, as evi- denced by the program of last eve- ming from WTIC. This singer has a strong, clear. enjoyable voice and he | satisfies the desire for vocal choruses in dance numbers. We heard Be cause I Love You" and q Cant Get | Over a Girl Like You Loving Boy l Like Me" in both of which he sang vocal choruses, to our great satisfac- tion.
 Just when we were about to give ! up the ship. WSWS, Chicago, came in full of pep. The station was loud, although a bit ragged at times, and ! a piano solo, "Nola,' was played | well.
 At WIZ, Paul Spechts recording orchestra played concert number , which was one of the widest things | we have ever heard. Rhapsody in | Blue" has nothing on it at all. The | arrangement was of folk tunes and | the combinations produced among the instruments were wonders. It was one of the oldest and most in- genious arrangements we have ever heard. Old American folk songs, so called, were included.
 WTAM, Cleveland, inaudible most nf 10 GUa1inp thrnIIrl, few minutes with sufficient volume to be heard several feet from the speaker, and that's all. A dance or chestra played "Me, Too" but that's all we know about it.
 WRVA. Richmond, broke through loud. but it was all tangled up with another broadcaster possessing fully as much volume and we finally gave up the job after trying vainly to them. WRNA offered dance orchestra, while the other sta ton presented a wild classic. They mixed like oil and water and a pea nut roaster was busy all the time.
 II
 WEAF, New York, came through |. loud at odd moments while WTIC 4 was on the air, and after the latter signed off it maintained a steady \ volume which was moderate and |, pleasant.
 That's all for today, thanks!
