BRIDGE GAMES BY RADIO WILL START TUESDAY t Experts to Play and Give Fans Chance to Learn Fine Points. The fourth series of twenty weekly bridge and radio games will be inaugurated through station WFBM Tuesday, at 3:30 p. m. These games will feature Milton C. Work and Wilbur C. Whitehead, internationally known bridge experts and teachers, in association with widely known players from cities in the United States and Canada. The first game will feature, besides Work and Whitehead, Sidney S. Lenz and Wynne Ferguson, both of New York, also famous as bridge players. Each game will be complete in itself and will illustrtae one of two salient points in bidding and play. At the end of the games the personal comments of Work will be presented. This feature in itself is considered by bridge players—a rare treat, as Work’s opinions are taken as standard authority. In addition to the broadcast, a complete summary of the games will appear exclusively in The Indianapolis Times each Wednesday. To keep a complete record of the games, it is suggested that these summaries be clipped and a scrap book made. Easy for Listeners The games are arranged so that radio listeners may play the game bid by bid and play by play, taking the names of the experts. To get the maximum enjoyment Work suggests that the hands be played previous to the games; then compare the results with the play of the experts. Contract bridge also will be featured. The hands will be played at auction and then Work will explain how they should be played at contract. If you are a beginner at bridge, Work will start you right, with short, easy pointers that will stick in your mind. If you are an experienced player, Work will bring you up-to-date on the new practices in bidding and play. What was good bridge last year is old-fashioned today. Sharpen your game with Work! Tedious Part Omitted Previous years of broadcasting bridge by radio have taught Work how to present bridge to the radio audience in anew, brief, thrilling manner, with all the tedious part left out.

With this week’s release, all stations should be broadcasting on the new allocations assigned them by the federal radio commission. We have made all changes with the last information sent us, although many stations still are sending in their copy with the old wave lengths and still are following the old schedules. Others broadcasting on the same wave have sent in programs for the same times, while other have failed to send in any copy at all. - These are just some of the difficulties we have had to contend with in compiling our service this week, and we hope that if you discover any we have tried very hard to avoid), you will overlook them, as we think most of the stations will have their troubles straightened out by next week, sufficiently to send in correct information.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCORES OF RADIO SETS PARALYZED BY INTERFERENCE

West Thirty-Sixth Street Residents Ask Aid in Clearing Trouble. A serious case of interference that is ruining radio reception for scores of listeners in the Thirty-sixth street district west of Clifton street was reported today in a letter to The Times from radio fans of that vicinity, registering a vigorous complaint The situation has grown deplorable, say the writers, and is growing worse steadily. The Times interference man will investigate it at once. The communication, signed by John H. Arnold, 1137 West Thirtysixth street; E. S. Pentecost, 1133 West Thirty-sixth street; H. Nathan Swaim, 1125 West Thirty-sixth streets Joe Courtney, 1154 West Thirty-sixth street; D. T. Campbell, 1167 West Thirty-sixth street; Mrs. Stella Wilds, 1117 West Thirty-sixth street; Mrs. Nellie Wagner, 1115 West Thirty-sixth street; W. F. Kenner, 1109 West Thirty-sixth street; R. S. Power. 1131 West Thir-ty-fifth street; L. R. Hoppes, 1307 West Thirty-sixth street; Hugh Sprague, 1303 West Thirty-sixth street, and M. T. Clark, 1267 West Thirty-sixth street. It follows: Interference Analyzed In our observation of this Interference, we have attempted to analyze same Insofar as classification Is concerned, which are listed as follows: 1. An intermittent popping and sharp buzzing which would indicate arcing grounds on primary or secondary electric light distribution system, or perhaps spillovers on the 33.00-volt transmission line of the T. H. I. & E. Traction Company, which passes through this section of the city. This could also be caused by defectitve switching apparatus or bad high tension Insulators. 2. Irregular popping, experienced on certain nights only. It Is thought, can be traced to operation of defective electrical appliances. 3. A rasping noise of very regular nature, such as that produced by an ordinary buzzer of low frequency type. 4 A regenerative receiver. There is no question as to source of this Interference, but merely a matter of location. The operator of this radio set insists on pushing It to the limit, which, of course, results In an annoying disturbance. From the generfl effect of this hbwl and Us amplitude, this set Is no doubt of the single circuit type, long outlawed. In the interest of good radio reception. 5. Avery loud ragged buzzing. It is our opinion that this noise Is contributed bv the T. H I. & E. Cos. 33,000-volt transmission line and Is caused by lightning arrester charging. This interference usually lasts for approximately 12 minutes, between 4 and 5 p. m. and around midnight. -It Is thought perhaps that It also occurs about 8 a. m. which would Indicate three charges each twenty-hour hours. 6. A high frequency irritating noise with Intermittent popping. This interference Is. no doubt, due to rotating equipment not operating properly. At times It sounds very much as though caused by a single phase commutator motor whose commutators in bad condition. We have made

a study of this Interference and have concluded that It possibly Is caused by an oil furnace motor on a motor that is in a similar service, due principally to its period of operation. Time of Trouble Given The following furnished to -upport our assumptions In this case: Inter!* ring Periods Time Time Date. On Off Oct. 19 7:30 P. M. 8:05 P. M. Oct. 20 3:00 P. M. 3:40 P. M. Oct. 20 350 P. M. 3:53 P. M Oct. 20 6:50 P. M. 7:35 P. M. Oct 21 5:04 P. M. 5:27 P. M oct: 2i: 7:20 p. m. 7:43 p. m. Oct 23 7:10 P. M. 7:40 P. M Oct 25 6:00 P. M. 6:25 P. M. Oct 25 6:32 F. M. 6:44 P. M. oct 25: 8:20 p. m. 847 p. m “Close observation of this noise shows that it has the greatest intensity at those receiving sets supplied from the distribution line In the alley south of ThirtySixth street, formerly owned by the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company, which, of course. Indicates that the disturbing element Is operating on this particular light circuit. , Os Lower Amplitude Other receiving sets supplied from the old Merchants’ electric line, also in this alley, are encountering this noise, but it is of a much lower amplitude. The assumption here is that this disturbance either is fed Into the Merchants led by a capacity between the two lines, or the reduction In noise level Is due to the longer path of this interference, assuming that the secondaries of these two systems might be in common In some point east of this location. It also Is noted that this interference has greatest Intensity in the vicinity of the center of the 1100 block on ThirtySixth street and In that It rapidly Is attenuated both east and west from the center of this block, indicates that the source possibly can be confined to the area bounded by Thirty-Fifth and Thirtysixth streets and west from Clifton street In conclusion, it Is realized that in the average residential sections where the electrical development Is high, certain Interference to radio reception always will be experienced. These Interferences, however. will come and go and will not as a rule long remain in force before being discovered or cleared automatically. Co-operation Suggested “Therefore, the interferences listed under 1. 2. 3. and 4 are not considered very serious In this complaint. However, those listed under 5 and 6. It Is felt, should receive Immediate attention. The Interference listed under 5 we recognize as a necessary operation on the part of the Traction company to provide proper protection for its equipment, and It Is felt that If these assumptions are found to be correct the Traction company will be willing to co-operate with the listeners of this locality either to change the charging time or possibly eliminate the 4 o'clock charging on Saturday and Sunday, which would provide considerable relief In this ease. “As to the Interference outlined under 6 there Is no Question that this can be eliminated without causing Inconvenience to the owner of this piece of equipment In fact. It might prove to be of considerable service to advise this owner that his equipment Is not operating properly. Complaint Friendly “It is desired here to state that we will be willing to co-ooerate In every way possible In locating and clearing this interference situation. “It Is desired also to bring out that this complaint Is made In a friendly manner, with the view that through the proper cooperation and co-ordination. suitable arrangements can be made In the tnteres’ of better radio reception, which we are sure Is of sufficient lnter-st to all concerned to at least warrant serious consideration.
