The Baseball School of the
Air, directed by Jack OnslOw,
coach of the Boston Rcd SOx,
is WATR's newest educational
veutre and probably the first
production of its kind in this
country. The program, heard
over station WATR and assO-
Ciated stations of the Yankee
network Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 5:1S p. m. has
been especially designed to
teach boys the correct way to
play Americas major sport
and at the same time, to incul-
cate i'm your minds some of the
principles of true sportsman
ship.
Jack Onslow, the baseball
teacher, has had n long and
brilliant baseball record. After
having caught with major
league teams for several sea-
sons, he turned to managing
and coaching, where his per-
Torrance has been as re-
nowned as it was behind the
bat. During his coaching
years he has been associated
with IS pennant winning
teams.
.xGeorge Casey, City Amateur
League prexy, when notified of
this latest step of WATR was
high i'm his praise of the move.
"That is just what is needed"
said George, "a baseball school
to keep the younger set inter-
estcd in the national pastime.
Reports show that the youth
of today has n tendency to
drift away from this sport and
lest n total lack of interest be
manifested some procedure
along this line must be fol-
lowed"

It's 'agin' the rules" of the tour
list business for point of interest
to be gaining popularity after
nearly two years. But the National
Broadcasting company is setting
another precedent in that field too.
This past month (July), nearly
$4,000 people were conducted

RCA Building, Radio City, 1900
more than in July 1894, and with
August normally the peak month
of the tourist year, even that rec
ord seems doomed to an early
eclipse.
Strangely enough, almost half of
MICS visitors come in parties
from out of town. Not in twos and
threes as casual visitors, but in
groups of twenty five, fifty or
more. In July there were $4,000
such tourists, as compared with
$4,000 who just wandered in.
Approximately the same rela-

10000 "box Office visitors and

Young Houdini
At Hangar

Washington has seen the
famous Harry Houdini perform
his miraculous escape and have
wondered when another person
would come along to emulate
him.
This week at the Hangar Club,
young Houdini, cousin of the
famous Harry Houdini, is star
ting the patrons with an unbe-
lievable act. He is chained from
head to foot, padlocked and
handcuffed, permitting anyone to
inspect his chains, and challeng-
ing anyone to bring his own
handouts. Within a few mo-
ments he has escaped his bonds
of chain.
About a year and a half ago
he accepted a dare, to be tied in
a strait-jacket and thrown in
an escape-proof cell. Imagine the
surprise of the people when in 10
minutes he walked in the front
door, minus his shackles. He per-
forms the same straight-jacket
act at the Hanger Club nightly.
