Cornelius McGillicuddy
 Expect Only 8 Look
 A eight of the players and their fa- mons manager would have made the wnit at the station worth while. Really this fe all that the fans expected. How rver when the train came to stand xtill tho baseball celebrities were seen relaxed and playing cards. In the rear coach near the door sat man whom ali recognized as the Athletics man nver He was not reading. He sat ,dlv perhaps considering problems Of his team.
 Once recognized there was stam- nede for the rear of the coach and the man who has developed many pennant winninv teams and star performers was socn engaged in conversation. There was no mention of Al Smith or Herhert Hoover. Neither did one hear the name of Gene Tunney or Lind hergh The conversation opened witn baseball and cfssed. as the train pulled out. on the same subject.
 The manager admitted he was pleas ~d nt the showing the Athletics had made in Boston that afternoon. but said that the Boston team is hard bunch to beat" even if they are tall ~psiers. or thereabouts. He was un- willing to predict the outcome Of the teams games in New York. but said they would do their best to win the series.
 Sunday Ball of Interest
 Then Connie did little questioning. He asked if there was baseball team En town. When assured that there was and that 1t played Sunday games the manager became interested and alert. You play Sunday ball?f he asked in apparent surprise. When as sured that this was the fact he urged that it be kept up He intimated that there is a fight on in many cities over piaying the national sport on Sunday, and emphasized that Putnam keep it up.
 When the train pulled out there was a waving of farewells and the long faced manager wore bit of n smile as he also waved adieu

PORT OF MANZANlLL0
TO GET RADIO PLANT
Government Will Equip Station If
City Will Erect
Building.

Establishment of a wireless station
at the port OF Manzaniilo, provided the
people and city government raise funds
for the construction of building, is
planned by the Mexican government.
The station will be of considerable
value to American shipping interests
as Manzanillo is the second most i'm
portant port of call on the west coast
of Mexico. Edward H. Hail. United
States vice consul there. says.
The city has an excellent harbor.
and with proper attention is expected
to supersede Mazatlan. which is the
chief port on the Mexican west coast,
Hall asserts. An American petroleum
company is constructing large fuel
oil tank. and when this is completed,
ships will be able to call at Manzanillo
for fuel oil as we'll as other provisions.
Transportation facilities to the interior
are excellent.
The federal government is to furnish
the wireless apparatus and send rep
resentative to take charge OF the sta
ton. The government also will con-
tribute the site for the station and
supply funds for its maintenance.

Peasants DESTROY
Radios as Cause
Of Bad Weather

NOWY SONCH. Poland tP).---
Peasants of the mountain regions near
here have destroyed all their wireless
sets in the belief that radio has at
tracted the unusually cold weather dur
ing the present Summer,
Last year the peasants Of Central
Poland did the same when the month
of Nav was very cold and rainy. BY
a freak of fate the month Of June
brought much better weather which
had confirmed the peasants In the be-
lief that wireless attracts bad weather.
News of the Improvement OF weather
after the destruction of the apparatus
evidently reached the Tatra mountain
region, which was suffering from the
coolest June weather in more than a
century, On June 90 In zakopane and
other villages near Nowy Sonch there
was snow and the thermometer was
at freezing point.

may eschew this business. for 1t is
their privilege to refuse the use Of
their facilities altogethers But the rev.
enue prospects from politics should
prove too attractive TO most station
managers.
That the politicians are becoming
very radio wise" was proved at Kansas
City and Houston, Broadcasting was
highly expensive--it cost the two big
chains and their so affiliated stations
about $500 .00e--and Just about every
radio set on the North American cent?
nent. and some In other lands, could
tune In on very little else,
It was at the time believed TO be q
concession to the great radio audience
that the party managers should have
timed the most demonstrative parts Of
their programs for the best radio hours.
But their was method In the purpose
of those In charge of the conventions.
The Democrats especially showed their
radio wisdom.
Claude Bowers keynote address at
Houston was scheduled for an after
noon. but 1t was purposely postponed
until evening after the radio managers
under the platform at the Democratic
convention had convinced the party
leaders that Mr.. Bowers potential au-
dience was 100000 during the early
evening.
The party leaders liked the thought
so well that Franklin Roosevelts nomi-
mating speech for Gov Smith was
scheduled for a similar hour next eve
ming. and the radio audience heard that
and the demonstration The third night
on the radio was featured by the actual
nomination of Gov Smith.
This staging was doubtless appreci-
ated by millions OF listeners. COR the
evening hours Of broadcasting es-
neciallv Just after the dinner hour, are
the best for obtaining q large audience
and are so recognized by the large ad-
who regularly buy time" on
the air
People are at home early in the eve
ming. Given an attractive radio nro-
yren. thew stay at home--at least. that
IS the theory OF the circulation men"
# radio. Moreover thew are assured

KING COTTON HAS
 DAY IN CONGRESS
Stack of Bills Up Dslline With
 That Industry

Washington. Feb. ' (UP)-Kng cotton ii going to have his day in congress. it was apparent today.
 Demands were heard in both house and senate for action on . stack of bills and resolutions de- signed to cure ills in the industry. including alleged manipulation of the New York cotton exchange and agriculture department price predic- tions which are said to be harmful to the growers.
 The resolution of Senator Smith. democrat, g. C.. for an investigation of the New York exchange will be followed by . similar one in the house, which Representative Ran kin, democrat. Miss. is preparing.
 Rankin criticized the exchange for permitting certain alleged prac- tices. He declared there is being thrown onto the exchange to bat ter down" the price, low-grade cot ton that cannot be sold for spinning. Recently. he said, between 10000 and 100000 bales of poor cotton were thus used by manipulators. It is mystery to him. he added, why the exchange permits such op- erations. He promised to bring the names of the manipulators before congress.
 A pending bill by Representative Vinson, democrat. Georgia, provides for regulation of cotton exchanges by applying the grain futures act to cotton training.
 The senate already has passed . bill to prevent the agriculture de- pertinent from making price pre- dictions, and several similar billi are pending in the house. It wal charged recently by Representative McDuffie. democrat, Ala, that south. ern cotton growers lost 31O.O00, ,00o last year by one statement forecast. ing lower prices. The market re. acted quickly downward, McDuffie said.
 Representative Blanton, democrat Texas. proposes a market for the low grade cotton which Rankin says if being used speculatively to the hur' of the cotton farmer. He has a bill to prevent importation of jute, useG for bagging
 Low grade cotton can be used fol this purpose, he says. The agricul. ture department now is investigat ing the possibilities.
