very good voices. After singing Return, Soft Gentle Evening" and When the Flag Goes By" the boys retired in favor of the contrary sex. The girls Of William H. Hall high school, West Hartford. took , their places, a cornetist featuring, and then the two clubs joined forces (we almost said 'joined arms') in stars and Stripes Forever" as finale.
 A whistling chorus to "A Kiss Tn the Dark" was a pleasant encore by the Sylvian theater orchestra at WGY. This station came in partic- ularly good last night, while WIZ, strangely enough, faded badly at times. A mixed quartet at VEAL, was unhampered by the slightest static. Jack Myers singing orches- tra from the Pennsylvania was very strong and clear out of WCAU, Philadelphia. In fact, it was so loud that " thought 1t was q good mo- ment to strike out for some distance.
 We were a bit sleepy, 50 Daven- port came to our mind. Sure enough, woe responded to our dial-turning without trouble, and we heard an orchestra in full swing. A soprano solo from XIV, Chicago was next, and then we picked up both Cleve- land stations, hearing a tenor bar itone warble The Story of the Rose" from WEAR and a plano solo out Of WTAM.
 Along about 1o o'clock, just when We were getting set to hunt for some station which was broadcast ing the boxing bout at the Yankee Stadium, the dials happened 10 stop at 508 meters-'way up high. Dance music filtered in. Then This is station WIP."
 Earlier in the evening the Marine band concert came in from WRC and allied stations. These band con- certs are good, the music is higb class but We hear many who express the wish that more stirring marches could be played.
 Interested in bridge? r. you are you doubtless dallied Q while with WPG along about S:30 and tried to pick up few pointers, for the Worlds Playground was giving its weekly lesson, switching to the Hotel Traymore at for q concert. That letter carriers are also good musicians upon occasion was ably demonstrated by a band made up of New Workers who did their stuff . before the mike at WIN early in the evening.
 We also stumbled across the sta ton from the heart Of Maryland, VEAL. Baltimore, along about mid evening. An organ recital was in progress. but We prefer our recttals from our own WTIC or WBZ, so tarried only long enough to hear the announcer.
 
 The fights? An. yes, the fights. All evening long the Herald phone
 buzzed with the query as to whether or not the fights were being broad cast. Frankly. We didn't know. { There was only one way to find out. However, the fights were broadcast.
 WMSG, Tex Richards station at
 Madison Square Garden with noth- 1 ing but nothing listed for it's eve
 ming program in advance, suddenly
 popped into prominence and a blow l by blow account of the various shows was given by an announcer
 introducing himself as Paul Calico, ! We've all heard Paul before at these sugfcsts and he does a very cred-
 itable job. The shouts Of the fans an nov him not and his descriptions are
 interesting for those who enthuse
 at the pad Of leather against flesh.
 Both fighters spoke into the mi , crophone-Stribling befor the fight,
 when he was in condition, and Der 1 fanback afterwards Stribling's words
 were meant for his wife-we hope
 this sort of thing never becomes uni
 versal; gossips get wind of our fam i1v affairs easily enough. Paul said
 he'd like to go ten rounds more, but
 We didn't hear Stribling offer to
