REGULARS FILL
THE ETHER

II one is really anxious to enjoy
this radio evening we'd recommend
the Happiness Boys from WEAF
at $50. tho Philco concert from
WIZ at 3. the Lord Calvert pro-
gram from WRC, or the Baltimore
Municipal Band from WBAL at g.
and let 1t 20 at that.
Wed like to recommend the
Bourdon Orchestra that will play
from WRC at 7--but the informa-
ton we have about 1t is that the
quartet that will sing with 1t con.
sists Of group of college boys who
worked as walters during one sum.

Seagle. As Oscars son Il one Of
the quartet the pathway to discov.
cry was made rather easy for the
distinguished music teacher and
baritone. Just what these facts
nave to do with what the quartet
VIII sing or the orchestra viii play,
we havn't the slightest idea.
But the esteemed publicity depart.
ment OF the National Broadcasting
Company evidently has some idea
that 1t Is important-and there are
things OF even more vital import to
US personally that We don't under.
stand. 50 weu just trust the infor-
nation means something to some
BODY. figuring there is a reason for
everything. even though it is beyond
our own imperfect understanding.
TABLOID SHOW
ON EARLY PROGRAM
At O'Clock there will be a con-
densation or tabloid Of some Broad
way success strained through loud
speakers for half an hour. The
National Broadcasting Company
also thinks very little of this
because 1t isn't even mentioned in
the mass of Informative material
sent out by its publicity depart
inent. But we've heard these things
from time to time and they are
usually rather worth tuning. Since
1t comes from WRC at the dinner
hour perhaps it might be well to
give 1t a play. The Hotel Pennsyl.
vania Orchestra viii follow it, from
WIZ ana WRC, ana that promises
well.
In the Lord Calvert program this
evening-which comes after the W.
B. ana A.. Quartet have done their
utmost for WRC-the string quartet
will be the featured section Of the
orchestra instead Of a soloist. Tho
quartet viii play a fantasia on ''Old
Black Joe" and Nevin's "Song of
the Brook"-both of which it should
DO well. There will also be a med.
ley Of Harry Lauder songs pre-
sented fundamentally.
Outside we have the Royal enter
tainers at WIZ at 1880 with a sort
OF round the world program, fea-
turing Helen Clark, con tralto;
Charles Harrison. tenor, and Joe
Green's versatile orchestra. Frank
Mum, tenor. Is to be the chief
attraction Of the Philco hour. which
WIZ will export at 8 o'clock. The
Baltimore Band is always good tun-
ing material
That excellent little program

also be on tap at o'clock and at
$50 WRVA will stage a conabina.
ton concert by a glee club and a
group Of old fiddlers that should

FINE FISHING IN
WAVE LENGTHS

The second evening Of summer
after the WarInest day. Of the
year so far In WashingtOu--
brought to listeners the best Of
radio reception. There was noise
and interference and fading-but
not too much to interfere with
enjoyment Of programs as far
west as Chicago and Des Monies,
% far north as Boston, and as
Tar south as Nashville, Tenn.

try's subsidy, which we heard best
from WSAI. and the emergency
soprano of the Kit concert from
WRC gave US the most satisfying
OF performances on the wave lengths
last evening. To this we might add
the program Of the itinerant Har.
Negters, which we heard, Impair,
tally, from WBAL, KDKA. and
XIV, and the United States Army
Eand from WMAL. The Harvesters
were in the, South-the mountains
OF North Carolina and Tennessee
and Virginia. we gathered from the
character Of the old time dance
tunes and negro melodies they pur.
The band activities Of the United
States Army were mostly distinctive

sons one kind Of bread tastes bet

fact of the thing is sufficient

The fact is that Milt Baker Of
WMAL seems to have discovered
the secret of broadcasting band
music in 4 way no other broad

credit for it because Baber is in

WMAL and we've heard him tell
about 1t.
AMATEURS HAVE
NO PLACE IN RADIO
Despite the "see America" man.
ner Of our first paragraph, we
stuck rather closely to home last
night because Of the fact there was
largely home grown program on
the wave lengths with but two or
three features from the outside.
And we'll have to be honest and
declare that we've heard many bet

that OF last night.

Triple Plays Without Help.

There are two feats in base ball
that every patron of the game hopes
to see. One of them is a home run
with the bases loaded. The other is
an unassisted triple play. The former
is more frequent than the latter. Yet
there have been two unassisted triple
plays in major league base ball within
two days. The first of these occurred
on Monday in Pittsburgh, when Jimmy
Cooney. the shortstor Of the Chicago
Cubs, with men on first and second,
took a line drive, stepped on second
base and tagged the runner coming
down from first. The second of these
plays occurred yesterday in Detroit
when Johnny Neun, first baseman of
the Detroit Tigers. with men on first
and second, likewise caught a line
drive, ran and tagged runner as he
was returning to first, and continued
on to second, reaching and touching
that bag before the other runner had
returned. The plays were almost
