Through the Static

! oh, boys. oh. boys! 1t was a
tough night. The static vas incessant
and also in large chunks. There was
| plenty Of volume, but of what use
was 1t, when the static was coming
| in like such and such. Stations with
in 10 or II feet came through fine.
| The fight was. Of course. the
MEGA of fans last evening. There
were many disappointnents the
! night before, due to the fact that
rain and other things prevented the
battle from taking place. Well, with
. Major j. Andrew White at the mi
crophone. things got going at 10
O'Clock sharp. We had our dials
glued to WBZ's wavelength and we
had several rabid fight fans sitting
around the room, anxiously await
ing the news from the ringside.
WBZ came through very well, and,
. in spite of a slight rain OF static, no.
ticeaole but not troublesome, things
went along very well. Major White
spoke Of the semi-final az being Of
scant interest. Finally, when Sharkey
and Maloney stepped into the ring,
we didn't have to be told that fact
by the announcer. Such a racket you
never heard in all your born days,
The microphone was situated so that
every sound could be heard. The
bell was very loud and the voice of
Joe Humphreys, famous announcer,
could be heard clearly, although we
couldn't make out what he was say
ing, which is no wonder.
Major White has a calm and easy
manner Of speaking and he main
tains that same calm even in the
hottest parts of fights. football games
or whatever else he may be announc-
| ing. Hence, one can depend upon his
voice to carry intelligently and well.
He was in top form last evening.
One-two-t hree-four rounds were
covered by him, summing up each
round carefully and interestingly. In
the fifth round. as you all know, a
technical knockout was registered
by Sharkey and the fight was over.
The winner, Jack Sharke2, spoke to
the radio audience, but he was SO
excited that he didn't say a whole
lot. This is Jack Sharley and !
knocked out jim Maloney in the fifth
round at the Yankee Stadium, May
10. Thank you." All that in a high
pitched voice. Major White eX-
planned later that Sharkey was so
excited that he still thought it was
Thursday.
II future fight broadc2sts are as
we'll put over as last nights, radio
fans are going to derive r. al pleasure
from the National isroadcasting
Company's agreement with Tex
Richard with regard TO bl oadcasting
all fistic struggles arranged by him

The peculiar eVolutions OF hit,and.
run drivers mind and the mistaken
sense of values therein contained was
well demonstrated yesterday in Mary
land. With his wife and a friend in
his car this embryo hit-and-runner
was proceeding to his home in Hagers-
town. At Ellicott City he became an
actual hit-and.runner. side-swiping
another and then going ahead with
out stopping. His wife. however. had
no intention of seeing her husband
join this unpopular category, and
demonstrated vigorously. Finally. he
became somewhat bored with her inn
portunities and stopping the car told
her that II she did not approve of his
actions she could get out and walk
Being a determined woman. she de
cided she would walk.
But little though he knew 1t, the
husband was through with neither
his wife nor his victim. Following a
phone message to the State police by
his pedestrian frau he was arrested

Minor Traffic Viola atoms.

Maj. Hesse has reiterat ted his order
to policemen to send minor violators
of the traffic regulations to the station
house rather than TO the court. Traf-
fic judges have prompted this move
on the part of the police superin-
tendent, complaining that trivial
cases were cluttering up the dockets.
In his order Maj. Hesse points out
that If a person chooses to meet the
policeman in court in an endeavor to
get back his collateral money, the po-
liceman Is, of course, to go to court
to testify, but otherwise the matter
will be taken care OF without the
necessity of either the defendant or
the policeman appearing in court.
Probably no motorists except those
who feel that they are guiltless will
not concur heartily in Maj. Hesse' S
instructions to the police. The over.
time parker or the hapless driver who
violates the minor regulations does
not care to add to his woes by spend.
ing the morning in court. Collateral
depositing for the guilty motorist is a
quick and painless method of contrib.
uting to the support Of the city in
penalty for minor misdemeanors. The
new plan is better for every one
concerned. the police. the courts and
the motorists, and Its operation will
result in benefits without Impairment
Of justice.

| The term nut" is the mildest word

The nut" it may be said in pass

The honest stamp collector does his
best to conceal his amusement over
the preference of his neighbor for

What FUN can a man see in col

hand. "Why doesn't he take mp some
thing interesting, now, say stamps?'

Perhaps neither enthusiast puts his
thoughts SO frankly into words. Gen
orally we do not. Most men are will
ing TO concede, theoretically, that no
two men look alike, and that perhaps
not every one will have the same
hobby, but at the same time he
usually IS unable to comprehend why
every one else is not as interested in
his own hobby as he is himself.
He is perfectly honest about il. His
own diversion is so engr0Ssing-to

fellow who does not grasp lis beauties

they really are in so many cases.

Its first minister. Rev. DIR. Teunis y
Hamlin, had been its only minister
and II has been since freely admitted
that there was at the time an under
current OF feeling that no one could
satisfactorily take DR.. Hamlin's place
Such was found not to be the case
however. DR.. Woods passionate car
ried on, expanded and perfected the
la Dor so spIendidly begun by his pred
ecessor. In the ne y twenty years
since then the churIL has grown In
size, in power and in importance.
It's minister's participation In civic
affairs and in all public matters in
which the church has been one Of
several moving forces has been gen.
erous and efficient. His sermons have
been a rare combination Of inspiring
faith, faultless logic, scholarly attain
ments and the fruitful results OF eX-
tensive travel. They have been heard
with pleasure and profit by many
thousan ds.
When DIR. Wood came to Washing
ton he expected. he points out. Ave or
perhaps ten years OF active service.
That he has performed his duties for
two decades is a source Of qualification
to all. Now, at an age of well past
threescore and ten, he moves reason
ably and gracefully to make way for
younger man. His congregations
loss will be the National Church's
gain.

at Middietown. Just as the trial was
about to take place the wife, having in
the mea ntime hooked" a ride with
a passing motorist, hove into the court
room under full sail to watch the pro-
ceedings. Fined twenty-five dollars by
the judge for being hit-and-runner.
the belligerent husband found that all
he possessed In negotiable securities
was something less than that amount.
1t was then the harassed wife's turn
to laugh, and IL Is reported that she
guffawed long and loudly. She had
forty dollars in her pocketbook and In.
formed the court of this fact, but in
her pocketbook 1t remained. Then
things began to get serious for the
husband, who. until this impasse
had been reached. held the whip hand.
He was remanded to serve day for
each dollar of his fine, and but for
the intervention Of friend he would
have gone TO jail for that period
While the details of release were be-
ing arranged the triumphant wife got
into the family automobile and pro-
ceeded to the happy family home in
Hagerstown to await his return.
1t is seldom that the tables are so
