Radio ts always viewed by the ger “ral. public as something that takes a Righly skilled, specially trained, thor- Otehly competent electrician to proper Ty manipulate. This idea is entire) erroneous, but, in spite of all that has been written, it still prevails, and it will take some actual demonstrations t otherwise to the majority of peo- Realizing this and desiring to prove conclusively to the public and impress ‘upon their minds that the radio phone ig practical, simple and here to stay, 3 Lounsberry and W. R. Seigel of Ossining and Mamaroneck, respec- dvely, conducted a number of expert- ments to crystallize the attention of the Public upon the simplicity, in actual operation, of a radio receiving set. To Heprove the idea that every note has caught separately and put through Special course of sprouts, and that the {nstrument, when once set, will record Perfectly for a while anyhow, and that one does not have to play with a lot of tuning “‘goggets” and “duflickers,” an operatoriess radio set was constructed, This set has been installed in a store, located in the centre of the business istrict of Ossining, and when the radio starts everything else in Ossining stops +that Is, everything but time. For those interested In the details of the operatoriess set, the following is publishe In order to eliminate far as possible all static interference, the antenna system Is located in the basement. A selective tuning clreult is employed, the instrument is tuned te receive WJZ nnd the controls are locked. The signals and concerts re- esived on a detector and two-step am- pilfying outfit are carried through to a three-stage power amplifier and out through a great wooden horn. No won- der everything stops—it is a wonder there are any windows left in the neigh- borhood. c The main feature of the arrangement Is the absence of an operator, This is jecomplished by having the circuits erly tuned and adjusted. The fila- nta of the tubes are lighted at the proper time. A brass wheel has been cut with flanges that correspond to the operating periods of WJZ. These flanges close a local relay current, which in turn closes the filament circuit of the Power amplifier. This wheel is mounted on the “hour” wheel of an ordinary alarm clock. For stability, the flaments of the detector and amplifier are lighted furing the full day. This set is having the desired effect pon the folks who have seen it in oper- tion, For those who are still sceptical all we can suggest Is a trip up the ind be convinced. ALEXANDERSON TO ADDRESS UNION ALUMNI. Mr, Ernst F. W. Alexanderson, one of the most prominent radio engineers of the present day, will deliver a lecture 0 radio and also stage a demonstra- tion at the smoker of the Union Col- lege Alumni Aasociation at the Hotel Martinique to-night at 8 o'clock. “Y" AND “K. OF C."" RADIO ACTIVI- Ties. Earge philanthropic institutions all over the country are equipping their various branches with radio recelving sets. No affair that they give seema to be complete without a special radio number of some description, ‘The an- nual exhibition of the Physical Depart- ment of the Harlem Branch Y. M. C. A. which was held on Thursday night, started at 7.30 P. M. and was brought too sudden a close for the audience 8.15, when the regular performance of the occasion was staged. The demand for uniform and ad- yanced instruction in radio telephony, according to the K. of C. educators, in- ereased more than 1,000 per cent. during the past school semester, The radio course is free to veterans of the World ‘War, as are some 700 other courses. The present plans of the organization call lor Immediate installation of high class paratus in all schools located near yoadcasting centres. Benjaman Gurtk—“I would like to ‘know which of these three groups will ive the best results? (1) Small navy joose coupler and two variometers, (2) a vario coupler with two variometers, (3) Three honeycomb coils and two variable condensers. Answer—The sec- ond group will give you the best resulta, ‘The vario coupler will give a finer de- gree of tuning and greater latitude in adjustment. J.B. Linden—"Can the detector unit published in The Evening World on April 15 and 17 have steps of amplifica- tlon added so as to make {t adaptable for use with @ loud speaker?" Answer —Yes. Two steps of amplification can be. added so that a loud speaker can be used with it. S. 8, D.—"I wish to know ff it is pos- ible to substitute a loud speaker for phones in the set described In The ming World on the 15th and 17th? f this can not be done, will you tell me of some single tube s with a loud speake that can be used Anawer—This net will need the addition of two steps Of amplification to be used with a loud speaker, There is no single tube set that has sufficient power to operate a loud speaker, M.

A meeting of university officials bas been called to discuss sending the Washington crew East, Havre De Grace Patrons Are All at Sea Because of Countless Form Reversals It’s a Hard Life the Pickers of Winners Are Leading These Days, (Bpecial to The Evening World.) BALTIMORE, Ma., April 26. HE trials and tribulations of a db form student would be an ap- propriate sub-title if ever the history of the first eight days of the current Havre de Grace meeting is bound in some small volume, For the general reputation of springtime racing at large, it were better if the story of the first eight days becomes @ separate and distinct compendium During the early history of the course, when bookmaking was the vogue, a record for winning favorites was established. Havre de Grace was regarded as the burial grounds for bankrolls both during the spring and fall seasons. Four, five and st: went over dally; whenever the; failed the day was marked up as an unusual one. Times and conditions have changed with the coming of the mutuals. No longer is the programme book writ- ten to suit thé desires of prominent stables, but rather to suit the lottery of the machines. Conditions are made which practically exclude the odds-on choice from any of the cheap races and the majority of the purse and handicap events. “Breaks,"’ as the bookmakers used to call them, have become the order. Form has been knocked into a cocked hat for one reason or another, Yes- terday’s racing might have been formful but for the numerous acci- dents that attended it throughout. The accumulation of defective bar- riers, roughriding and faulty fencing, brought woe to the faithful, who braved cold to witness the ragged sport. The State Racing Commission continues to permit fifteen-horse fields to run the mile and mile and seventy yards and the mile and a sixteenth races. Such accidents as befell little Prible yesterday being inevitable, the closely bunched fields approach the first turn their riders fighting and knocking for positions to escape the dust clouds which arise behind the heels of the fortunate leaders. But the commission governs racing with an iron hand, and until it ‘decid that human life is in danger, the cor- dition must continue to prevail since there will always be more than enough horse owners anxious to run for $600 and $1,200 purses and there will be jockeys to ride them. My Play lost little standing by his defeat yesterday. The son of Fair Play at least proved that he is cour- ageous, because after being slammed back during the early running he came around his ficid and finished Uke a lion. There was no chance to overtake the leaders through the stretch rua, but he did reduce some of the distance between them. The stewards accepted the report of the patrol judge and suspended Jockey Williams for the remainder of the meeting, charging that be had re- 25 Teams Roll InEvening World Meet To-Night Play will be resumed to-night in the big Evening World headpin tour- mament after a lay-off of several nights, Twenty-five teams are scheduled to compete. The Holy Cross Lyceum heads the lst of bowlers with ten teams entered; Miller and Gunderman will provide five, while Leaguers of Brooklyn, Charles J. Smith & Co. and New Amsterdam are down for two teams each, and Wace, Mott Haven Reformed Church, Butts & Miller Company and Western Electric Installation Department will each send one team to compete. The flow of entries shows no signs of a let-up, and each day's mai) brings more applications for duties. Six additional entries were receive’ yesterday, bringing the total to date to 997—only three tams away fr the 1,000 mark, the goal set by the tournament official Three Interesting series were bowled in the Eastern Alley Owners’ Asso- elation three-man and individual tournament on Manhattan and Bron drives iast night. In the Budd's- Bronx Central series, rolled at the Bronx Central alleys, each team won and lost in the three-man event while Wally Seering carried off the honors when he met Joe Falcaro, the Budd's etar, In another Bronx series between the Orpheums of Brooklyn and the Hunt's Point, roiled at the Hunt's Point alleys, it was another case of “split even’—each won and lost. Harry Cohn, the Hunt's Point rep- resentative, however, accounted for the series with George Stelter, the visitor, Cohn taking four out of the tive games. Broadway Arcade lost two games to the Metropolitans at the Metropolitan drives in the three- man event, while Anargeros, the Broadway Arcade representative, suf- fered a defeat by Osler In the indl- vidual, which went seven games. ———— LITTLE HOPE FOR PLAYER HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT. GREENVILLE, 8. C., April 25.—Al- though he spent a restful night, little hope was held out to-day by attending physicians for the recovery of Herman Merritt, third baseman on the Augusta team of the South Atlantic Association Club. Merritt's spine was injured Sun- day when the car in which he and other members of the team were driv. ing to Augusta overturned just out- side Greenville. Merritt came to Au- gusta from the Detroit Americans, His waa in Gray Bull, Montana, fused to take out in his course along the outside when it must have been apparent some of the horses nearer the rail were In difficulty. f Brainstorm, the winner, would have ‘|siven My Play a stout argument in any event. He was a much better horse, better on the dry track than he had been over the slow dull ones of last week or the sandy stretch at Bowie. It is probable that hereafter Trainer Jimmy Rose jr. will reserve him for the pasteboard which brought his clever victory. Catapult's victory was one for Maryland breeding since he is a son of Dalhousie, reared at the Walden Farm at Middleburg up-State. Cata pult ran the colors of his breeder, Thomas Cline, known as the stormy petrel of Maryland of racing because he ts one of the few idealists left. By way of illustrating the character of the man he has always raced his own breeding and has done more for the State's thoroughbred stock farms than any other individual, although Dalhousie has always been regarded as successful and is still in the vicin- ity of youth, Mr. Clide turned him over to the Maryland Jockey Club’ breeding bureau a few months ago for free service among the farmers or ama. teur breeders of the State. Cata- pult's speedy departure from the bar- ner showed that he had been appro- priately named, After the race Trainer Al Weston admitted that the colt had run a quarter away from barrier at Pimlico last week in 23 seconds flat, a performance that speeded his entry into racing, He was immediately shipped to Havre de Grace by van instead of being re- served for Pimlico, Jockey Turner is still trying to be- guile the handicapper despite his f- asco of last week when he succeded in having Registrar beaten. He rode through the early stages of yester- day's race with the apparent confi- dence that Rubien was coming back after running a few furlongs. Rubien went just a little further than he had been asked to on his previous outing and then folded up like an accordion. Turner asked Registrar for his speed only after that had happened so that he got up to win by a half length with a colt who could have won by three or four, given a do-or- die. Rubien acted very much like an- other typical son of Peters Quince, that daddy of long-striding but faint- hearted sprinters who seem to love nothing better than once around a half-mile track, Fistic News and Gossip By John Pollock If Matchmaker Flournoy ts willing to give Frank Bagley, manager of Gene Tunney, the terms he demands for Gene to fight Harry Greb of Pitts- burgh a fifteen-round decision bout at Madison Square Garden on May 16 or May 19, Bagley will sign up for Tunney to defend his title in a go with Greb, Now that Bagley has agreed to allow Tunney to fight Greb In @ decision contest Flournoy will try hard to clinch this bout, as he figares this scrap will draw a gate of over $75,000.
