The power apparatus necessary for the actua-
ton Of this loudspeaker also contains all of the
basic elements of the battery climinator.
Thus, when connected to Radiola IS, through
the medium of an A.C. Package, the power
unit in the RCh Loudspeaker 1o4 eliminates
all batteries and provides operation direct from
the lighting socket.
When the Loudspeaker 1o4 is operated in con-
nection with sets other than Radicals, the
power unit in the speaker supplies B battery
voltage; that is, it takes the place of B. bat
teries.
The Loudspeaker 1o4 was not designed for re-
production in large halls and assembly rooms.
1t was intended for use in apartments and
homes.
While capable of great volume, it may be
operated at any volume but it should be borne
in mind that one of the chief factors contribut-
ing to its rsalism Of nprodaetion is the amount of
power employed to actuate the instrument.
Yet it is decidedly economical in operation.

Ieaafng tbonograbb companies
It was the first to catch the notes of the entire
musical scale, reproducing so faithfully that
the great phonograph companies employ it for
phonograph reproduction as we'll
Remember RCA Loudspeaker 1o4 is not just
loudspeaker. 1t is a loudspeaker plus power
ampliher, plus rectifying apparatus for the
elimination of batteries Batteries would not
provide sufficient energy to operate the Loud
speaker 1o4 satisfactorily. The power required
must be drawn from the lighting socket. And
its purpose is not mere volume, but remark
able quality of musical reproduction.
Why THE Radiolh 28 is BY far THE most
adranced in radio reception
The term upcr-heterodyne" has carried an
atmosphere of magic for the past ten years.
In its original form it was a complex labora-
tory device, not suited for manipulation and
use on the part of those not technically trained
RCA engineers took this complicated device,
smplihed it and produced one of the most eff
cient broadcast receivers known to radio.
The popularity of the per-heterodyne comes
from the following features:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-01-09

First, its great senstivty 1t is so sensitive that
radio broadcast reception can be obtained from
great distances without any aerial or outdoor
wire.
A coil wire, called loop, takes the place of
the aerial or the loop may be replaced by =
short length of indoor wire.
Thus, the super-heterodyne is particularly suit
able for use in apartment houses where the
erection of aerials is impracticable.
The snter-beterodyne is supreme
in selecivity
In the matter of selectivity, the super-hetero-
dyne stands supreme It's ability to receive from
one station to the exclusion of all others is ap-
preached by no other type of receiver. The
ability to do this comes from novel feature of
the super-heterodyne circuit--a feature pecu-
liar to itself.
To simplify operation, the super-heterodyne is
now provided with uni-control tuning mech
anism. With the movement of one control,
station after station is brought in.
Another exclusive feature of the super-hetero-
dyne is it's sealed-in construction. Lift the loop
and cover, and note the business-like, clean
cut appearance Of the internal mechanism. Il
reminds you of multi-cylinder automobile.
This sealed-in construction, known as cat
acomb,'' is complete protection for all the
most delicate parts, keeping out all dampness,
moisture and dust
The trodaet Of THE combined research
of RCA, General Electric
and Westinghouse
And to assure the finest possible clarity of
voice and music, this Radiola is matched to
the great broadcasting stations. It's transform
ers, tubes and all points of design that affect
tone quality are the product of the same en-
gineers who designed the broadcasting appa-
ratus.
Radiola aS and RCA Loudspeaker 1o4 are also
synehronizedto one another-engineered from
beginning to end in the same laboratories and
by the same engineers. With this combination
you have the supreme achievement Of radio
today.

BRUISED SHOULDER
SLOWS UP DEMPSEY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 31.-A bruised
left shoulder has interrupted the rig
orous routine at Jack Dempsey's
training camp but today was expected
to see a return to normalcy.
Dempsey injured his shoulder dur
ing g. boxing bout Sunday and pre-
ferred to curtail his program yester.
day rather than risk aggravating the
injury. He did only a little road work
and played few holes Of golf, leaving
his sparring partners to satisfy the
several hundred fans who went to
Lincoln Field to see the former cham
pion.
Manager Leo p. Flynn said he did
not intend to hurry the ex-champion
along. Jack is in fairly good shape"
FLYNN said, 80 there's no use push
ing him for a fight that's three weeks
away
Some 1000 fans had gathered for
yesterdays schedule workout, and
rather than send them away disap-
pointed entirely Dempsey sent his
sparring mates out to box, while he
looked on and did little more than
make personal appearance.
Fight headquarters reported no APP
parent let-up in the demand for
tickets.

lack is LIKELY TO HAVE
CROWDS BACKING ATBOUT

She made an appealing picture at
Sundays workout when she saw Jack
fight for what she said was the first
time. And for publicity purposes her
daily poses with the former champion
should do a lot to win over the
woman fans.
So Tunney has this further handi-
cap to overcome. He is an Fastener,
with a reputation of being cold to all
but his friends, and, in addition. he
hasn't been able to shake off the ef-
fects of those stories telling that he
enjoys reading a good book now and
then.
Camps Are Different.
Even the training quarters serve to
these two men.
Jack is out at race traok-a very
swell, 100000 place, but just bit
gaudy as tracks sometimes are. The
race track surroundings even seem
apparent as quarters for a profess
sional prize fighter.
Tunney is to train at very fine
country estate, just recently turned
into an aristocratic golf course. He
has facilities for yachting. golf. horse
back riding and for walks through
woods. Indoor training facilities are
excellent.
Now if Gene can make this training
camp a popular place and convince
the great mob that he's a regular fell
low, he may be able to have the
crowd with him again as it was at
Philadelphia a year ago. But right at
present the outlook is for a Dempsey
mob.

Cubs Not Ready Be Counted Out Remainder of Schedule Favos
COBB TODAY STARTS
23D YEAR IN GAME

PHILADELPHIA August 81 GP-
Ty Cobb today began his twenty-third
year in big league base ball.
On August 80, 1905, he joined the
Detroit Tigers, where he remained as
player and later manager for 81 years.
In entering upon his twenty-third
year Cobb is believed to have added
another record to his long and bril-
liant career on the diamond. Pop
Arson and Cy Young. other players
with long records, each played for IL
years.
Cobb made his 2,100th run on April

July IS and went to bat for the
IL ,000th time in game last Sunday.
II have learned lot about the old
game in this time" said Cobb the
other day as he rounded out his
year. And I'm not
going to give up trying until l quit
the game for good"
Cobb spent all of his years in the

THREE MORE SOCCER
LOOPS HERE PLANNED

Plans for the formation of three
additional soccer leagues in the Dis
trict and for the promotion of the
game throughout the territory super
vised by that body, will be made at
q meeting of the Washington and
Southeastern Soccer Association to-
night at o'clock in Room No. z OF
the District Building.
The organization is affiliated with
the United States Foot Ball Associa-
ton and will control soccer under
that group in the District, Virginia,
Tennessee and sections Of North and
South Carolina.
Soccer is almost in it's infancy
here and even more so in the other
territory supervised by the sectional
association. Last season the one
league here was handled very sue
cessfully and some clever players
were developed. 1t is thought that
the city now has enough players In
in the game to organize three
more leagues comprised of six clubs
each in addition to the Washington
Soccer loop.
Richard S. Tennyson, one of the
prime organizers of the league and
association here and president of the
association, stated that the meeting
tonight will be devoted to associa-
ton business only and no Washing
ton Soccer League matters will be
taken up. Only officials of the asso-
citation will attend.
The game has been populariZed
somewhat in this section during the
past two years and both fans and
athletes have taken to it as we'll as
in any section of the country.
A boom for soccer has already been
started and several organizations
have announced their intentions of
teams this year. Fort
and several other mill
tary teams will be in the field it is
with prospects of one six
team circuit being formed among the
service men.
Play in the Washington league will
start about October l, according to
present plans. The other three pro-
posed circuits will probably be a
little later in starting. depending
upon the amount of time required
In their organization.

PITCHER KELLY LOST
TO POLICEMEN NINE

One mans misfortune is another's
good fortune.
That is the way the District Fire
men felt today after they learned that
Finney Kelly, star pitcher of the
Metropolitan Police team and con-
uueror of the Enginemen for the past
10 years. was injured yesterday IN a
game and will be unable to hurl
against his old rivals next Monday,
when they meet in their annual bene-
fit clash at American League Park.
Kelly injured his knee while sliding
into third base yesterday in a game
between Terminal All-Stars and the
Policemen. AS he is no longer a
youngster, the policeman-pitcher is
not expected to return to the diamond
for some time, and his absence from
the annual game will be felt more
than any other individuals absence
could.
For 10 consecutive years Kelly has
turned back the Firemen, so 1t is no
surprise that the Firemen were pre-
dieting greater things today when It
was learned that their nemesis would
be out Of the service classic. How
ever. the police have two reserve hurl-
ers who may prove just as puZzling
to the Smoke-eaters, although the loss
Of Kelly will be felt acutely. Sager
and Humphrey, the reserve hurlers,
will have to halt the Hosemen.
Police won their game yesterday
despite the loss of their star hurler,
to 4.

for the game Monday are:
