 trumpets. prancing pianos, tramping trombones. cantering comets, bouncing banjos, etc., etc. Hot stuff! WGY was extra loud, as were all the stations we heard.
 WEEI, Boston, handed us hot surprise by coming through strong and clear, with no fading whatever. Frank Ryan, famed sport writer and announcer, delivered to us a report of the hockey game between the l St. Pats and the Boston Bruins at | Ottawa. He read 1t from the tele- graph clip sheet, but one would | have thought for all the world that he was giving the report direct from | the rink side Ono. we don't mean ring -side). He gave everything ex- cept the yells of the crowd. and he even let us hear the referees whistle. Very interesting and excit- ing.

We tuned in in time to hear the Louis Rich or chestra from the English Room of the Hotel Winton play selections from Queen High"
 EXTRA! EXTRA! We must in- sert at this point statement sub mitted by WTIC, Hartford, for pub lication. It seems that hockey has won a place on the WTIC schedule.
