tuned to maximum volume, as the
Mikro-Mike' adjustment will change
the tuning slightly.
a Hint on Tuning Set.
Practically all the tuning on strong
signals is done with the tandem con-
denser dials, 4 and Z. Strong signals,
such as those received from nearby
stations, may be improved by slightly
detuning condenser 4 to prevent over
loading. Week. signals, however, re-
quire close adjustment of both con-
denser dials and also the trimmer con-
denser knobs. Volume and sensittvity
are, controlled by, the dual resist
ance 5. -
Increasing sensitivity beyond a Ger.
tain degree will cause the circuit to
go into oscillation, causing whistles
and distorted signals. Always adjust
the dual resistance below this point.
When tuning in weak signals use
both hands, tuning each control and
its trimmer carefully and varying
each control only a short distance at
a time.
As you receive signals, take down
the dial readings. as they will help
you In tuning-in other stations which
lie between those settings.

screw &C" till no beat or whistle is
heard as the dial condenser is ro-
tated back and forth across the point
which originally brought in the sig
nal. A long, sharpened wooden rod
should be used to adjust the MilTo-
Mike condenser. Note the point at
which the beat disappears in the ad-
iustment of the Mikro-Mike condenser
and then continue to turn the adjust
ment screw until the beat is heard
again. The proper adjustment of the
Mikro-Mike condenser is half way be-
tween the point where the oscillation
or beat stops and the point at which
the beat is heard again, so bring back
the screw adjustment to that point.
This is the permanent adjustment of
this Mikro-Mike condenser.
Now replace the tube that you re-
moved from socket % and adjust
Mikro- Mike condenser "a in the same
manner as you adjusted No. 80, ex-
cept that in this case you should ro-
tate the dial of condenser back and

denser 4, as in the previous case.
Finally, replace the tube that was
removed from socket "a and adjust

been a flight of ease for all of them.
Cobb was Snickered at when he start
cd to play ball and he wasn't such
much. as he will tell you himself.
Speaker was let go because he did
not appear likely to be good enough
to one man for fast company. There
was n time when the New York Ma
tional League Club worked tooth and
nail to get Speaker. That was when
iris was down in Arkansas, but Bos.
ton had a prior claim. If Speaker
had come to New York he probably
would have been a Giant to this day.
Ruth was a kid in a school in Balti-
more. One of the brothers of the
school went to Jack Dunn and told
him that he had a boy who would
make a ball player. Now Dunn did
not turn that man down, which is one
reason why he is so much ahead of
many other managers. He never
likely to be of assistance. So he told
the brother to send the boy along.
The greatest youngster who has
come to the front in late years is
Cuyler. The future of young man
as ball player is bounded only by
his longevity.
Roush is a wonderful player, one
not always appreciated at his real
value. He may not bat like Cobb, but
