Through tie Static


 eyer impressive and ever effective Has marvelousiy well done iron MTlC last evening. No musical ore sentation is more appropriate 10 this week than that suprem, achievement or Dubois. The musit fully expresses the import Of eacl sentence and the chorus, Sololsts anf symphonic Ensemble Of the Tray elers' station have never done an, better than in The Seven Las words, as presented last evening Maurice Nailen, tenor; George De, Faul, baritone: Ida Yudowitch, so. prano, all well known soloists, in. lerpreted the famous cantata in ar entirely sympathetic manner, anG the musical aCcompaniments were precise and satisfactory. Whether especially interested in music or not one finds il difficult to pass The 'Seysn Last Words by. since it DOT nays i'll music the supreme drama or the ages.
 i Conditions were decidedly not sat lsfactory last evening, but with such wealth ot interesting material on the air from the comparatively near by stations. We weren't deeply dis ! turbed. A continuous buzz raised havoc OH most Of the wave lengths and stations didn't seem to be com ing through so very strong. We didn't notice any static worth speak ing of.
 The first baseball game Of the season was broadcast by WIZ. WEAF, WGY and several other sta tons yesterday afternoon. We should have said one Of the first games. The Yankees and Athletics mixed it up and Graham McNameo was at the mike, handling things in his usual capable manner. He kept up a steady line Of chatter, speaking once of a fellow in evening dress who was watching the game. He stated that he didn't know whether the man vas just getting home from Hast ltI6 4tL . 'iIt'4 NttlIL.iIEiil pi " 4l@tliiI iI' is just starting out for this evenings -un." At any rate, the game was in teresting as described by McNamec. He said that 1t was hopcI that many of the games would be broadcast, al though he was not definite in his as sertion. So baseball fans can live in hope. IL probably depends on the amount of fan mail received.
 
 George Olsen and his s2,50O or chestra provided another diyorting IIogram from WIZ and WI}Z, at S O o'clock in the evening. We heard i rom WEE. Fran Frey and all the boys were on deck and everything was fine, only we wish George would do his own announcing, as he used to. Things seems more pleasant and less formal when he does it. Not however, that the an- uounccr in charge of the proceed lngs was not capable.

 As We moved hither and thither on he dials we encountered all kinds If noises. roars, buZzcs, huns and attles, to say nothing Of rattles. NAAM, Newark, came through after fashion, with Albert Decker sing ng What Does IL Matter?' accom- ,anied by a guitar, Very nice voice.
 
 An orchestra which was trying or an endurance record was tea- urcd at WGRS, New York. Or, at east it sounded as if inc band was rying for an endurance record. We uncd in while a dance number was ,eing played and we waited about 10 minutes while the selection was pre- ented 10 or 2 times II was still be- ng played when We left the station. NGBS was fairly loud. The Red Apple club at WICK was . me Of the loudcst features Of the ate evening. The station came trough much better than did most f the others at that time of night
