look so good to tighten up the A. A.

Pacific coast circuits.
JUST at present the A. A. is

ledo, where the Hens are in receiv-
ership and minus a ball club, Cleve-
land having withdrawn it's financial
support as well as nearly all of this

the Toledo problem was expected to
cause members of the A. A. execu-
tive committee to do lot of

Al Simmons, the smuggling whale and
veteran fly chaser sold by the Phil
adelphia Athletics to the White Sox follow
ing the 1889 season, has turned up at Hot
Springs to do light training for the 1888
campaign. He said he Is twenty pounds
overweight. Now, how and where do Won
suppose Simmons picked up twenty
pounds since the 1882 season closed on
Sept. rs? That's lot of tonnage for an
athlete to pick up over six-weeks stretch
and condition that is sure to worry the
White SOx officials who paid a small
fortune for his contract.

BIC RADIO SHOW
To Be THIS MONTH
Trade and Public Exhibition
at Chicago Promises
Great Variety.

Determined to make 1882 boom year
for radio, a portion of the radio indus
try will deviate from the policy of the
past decade by staging national radio
show during the first month of the year.
The tenth annual Chicago Radio
Electrical Show will hold sway from
January 18 to "a as both q trade and
public exhibition, displaying all that is
new in radio styles. Household electrical
appliances also will be exhibited. In the
past the trade shows have been held in
the Spring for the introduction Of the
following years styles in radio.
As q part of the exposition the Radio
Wholesalers Association and the Ma
tional Federation Of Radio Associations
will hold their conventions. The Radio
Manufacturers Association, representing
the set manufacturers themselves, how
ever, will not hold its annual conven-
ton until the end of May, also at Chi
cago.
Change in Methods.
The move for a January show repre-
SentS change in merchandising meth
DDS by the industry. Complete new
lines and new models will be on exhibit
by leading manufacturers, according to
Arthur Stringer, director of the project.
The idea is TO take up the slack which
heretofore has existed between the tine
Of the show in the Spring and delivery
in the Fall. Thus there can be no
chance for a change in models during
that interim, Q condition which has
caused many Of the public to shy clear
OF purchasing sets early In the new
year.
Television again will be a central at
fra RI ial There will he constant chou
ings of television on a 3-foot screen,
, while giant screen, possibly Of Is feet,
will be used for feature teleyision shows
supervised by U. A. Sanabria, the young
Chicago inventor, who last year startled
the radio world with 10-foot televiSion
| pictures.
Time Specially Set.
In connection with the r. M. A. trade
show in May it is explained by the as
sociation that the show has been timed
to dovetail with the national political
conventions as a probable great stimu-
luS to radio sales. The show will be
staged from May % to 26, which will
give the industry three weeks in which
to take advantage of politics to make
sales. The Republican National Con-
vention is scheduled for June Is at Chi
cago and the Democratic Convention
about July l.
Despite unfavorable business condi-
tions, the r. M. A. announces that the
radio industry went through 1881 with
out a major failure or considerable sur
plus stocks. The industry estimates that
between 2,5o0, 900 and 5000 900 sets were
sold during the calendar year, that there
are some 100000 radio sets now in
use in this country and that the size of
the radio audience, figuring about four
listeners to set, is about $4,000 900.
The price of sets was lower in 1881, par
ticularly because Of the popularity OF
the midget set. Some IS per cent of
the 1881 sales were midgets and the
average price per set was placed at
about s75.

GENEVA BR0ADCASTS
ARE TO Be RENEWED
Veteran Correspondent, William
Hard, Will Cover Activities OF
League of Nations.

For the second time in six months the
National BroadcaSting Co. is sending a
radio reporter to Geneva to cover by
radio the activities Of the meeting of
the League of Nations.
William Hard, veteran Washington
news correspondent and noted radio
reporter, again has been selected for
this assignment. He will go to Geneva
some time this month and when the
League meets will make daily reports
via radio to American listeners.
Arrangements have been completed
for Mr.. Hard to broadcast from the
studios Of the Swiss National Broad
casting Co. in Geneva, Just mile from
the building in which the League holds
its meetings.
The Leagues conferences in Febru-
ary, in which world disarmament will
be discussed Is one of the most i'm
portant held In recent years. The
United States Government is not q
member of the League, but it win send
a delegation headed by Charles G.
Dawes, Ambassador to England.
Mr.. Hard plans to present before the
microphone at frequent intervals some
of Europe's leading correspondents and
also statesmen from various countries.

control broadcasts used In
any one broadcasting day was
established on the last day of
1881 by the Columbia Broadcast
ing System, when Il programs
originating outside the New York
studios were transmitted by the
WABC network. The broadcasts
came from 35 points in 18 cities
Of Germany, England, the United
States and Canada.
The distance separating two of
the remote broadcaSts in the 24'
hours also was unusual. With
both Berlin, Germany, and San
Francisco, Calf, contributing
programs, the diameter of the
days broadcasts measured al
most exactly 7,700 miles-nearly
one-third the distance around
the world.
Another record which the Co
lumbia engineers believe was es-
tablished during the day was the
total mileage of the wire circuits
used to bring the Al programs to
the New York control room-the
amazing total of 42,213 miles.
The distance around the earth at
the equator is approximately u.s.
600 miles.

4 1LN1A FNOOS, tne IlLCIe Princess
Of Song who broadcasts over
NBC networks, acquired first
~ hand knowledge of policemen
and police courts when only 7
years of age, and today her mother
the Froos family historian-can't begin
to estimate how many times Sylvia has
been arrested.
From Baltimore and Washington to
New Orleans. up the Mississippi to
Chicago, and on across the great mid
western plains the law" has followed
Sylvia Froos. Nevertheless, Sylvia likes
policemen and judges, but be wary
Of mentioning child labor boards. She
hates them.
Sylvia was born in New York City, and
she could sing almost before she crawled
out Of the cradle" according to Mrs.
FrooS. She started on the stage in
Baltimore, the youngest member of a
"kiddie act" when 7 years old. That
was back in 1921.
Within q few days the act moved on
to washington and for years following
the Little Princess of Song had legal
battles with child labor boards. They
said she was too young to sing on the
stage Sylvia had to confess that she
fell short Of most State age limits.
But she went on singing-after thea
ter managers paid fines.
For 10 years she trouped about the
country, thrilling an untold number OF
American audiences with a repertoire
of sentimental songs, but never has
fallen in love, she reports.
Two great events occurred in Sylvia S
career during the Christmas holidays.
First, she was booked for the Palace
Theater, New York, the goal of all
troupers, with the -Four Marx Brothers.
Second, she signed contract to sing
thrice weekly over NBC networks She
had broadcast before on four successive
R-K-Oians programs.

WHEN Admiral Byrd embarkS on
Wv his second trip to the Ant
arctic, it is more than likely that
he will carry short-wave appa-
ratsls that will enable him to de-
scribe his explorations directly to
the pubic by radio. Plans for out
fitting the expedition with radio
have not yet been announced, nor
is it known whether the same
crew of engineers and operators
will accompany him who went on
the last expedition.
1t Is entirely possible for low
power short-wave apparatus to
carry voices practically around
the world, providing the proper
waves are chosen, and it has long
been predicted that expeditions
of the future would use such ap-
paratus to supplement the more
reliable short-wave radiotelegraph
equipment.
Floyd Gibbons voice directly
from the Manchurian war front
is being awaited by the radio
audience, though nothing has
been said formally by the net
works about the radio prepara-
tions for his trip. Nor is it known
whether a radio man accompa-
MED him. He must also face the
problem of securing authority
from the hostile forces to broad
cast his observations.
That wars and expeditions of
the future will be described by
radio reporters" right on the
scene may be accepted as a fore
gone certainty. Even television
may be used, once 1t is perfected,
to accompany the voices of these
correspondents. AS q matter Of
fact, with facsimile apparatus
now available, and even with the
imperfect television equipment
already at hand, 1t is possible to
send good still pictures and fair
moving images that are televised

ONE of the most intensive
~ searches for new radio talent
in the history of broadcast

by Paul Whiteman, International

period of at least Is weeks and

The general plan to be fol-
lowed is this: Talent additions
Aare to be held in each city that
Whiteman plays on his vaude-
vile tour. Applications for the
additions will be limited to those
who have never done any broad
casting. After the preliminary
additions are held Whiteman will
listen to the finalists and select
the voice that in his estimation
is the best for broadcasting. This
individual will then be given an
opportunity to sing over a coast
