...leading radio manufacturers has just issued an appeal through the newspapers urging the public to protest against the plan to prohibit broadcasting of professional boxing matches and baseball games, which is being seriously considered by the magnates of these sports. Apart from the loss of enjoyment to thousands of people who could not possibly attend the games in person, such a course reveals an uneasiness in the minds of the promoters that seems strangely inconsistent with the reports of clamorous demands for seats at the coming World's Series and of a very gratifying gate at a fight between contenders...

Announcer Brokenchild's efforts at detection were misinterpreted; he nearly went to jail as a colleague of the insidious "Ghost Gang...
...three years Ernestine Schumann-Heink has been exceedingly busy bidding farewell to her public-concert, operatic, radio. Last spring, sailing for Europe, she announced herself as definitely "through." Teaching was to be her sole occupation. Last week she returned from Europe, limping down the gangplank on a sprained ankle, grinning her great grin. Yes, she told reporters, she was going West. Sound cinemas provided another way for great singers to sing. Three companies had made her offers...
