...Yankees' outstanding pitcher, 26-year-old Atley Donald, is even more of a dark horse and even more of a twirlwind. Brought up from the minor-league Newark team last spring to learn the ways of the Big Time, the earnest Louisiana farm boy, who had gone uninvited to the Yankee training camp five years before to beg Manager Joe McCarthy for a tryout, was completely overshadowed by the famed Yankee pitching roster of Lefty Gomez, Red Ruffing, Monte Pearson and a half dozen others...
...importance of the Milkman's Matinee during its five small hours can be reckoned in other terms than sales figures and telegraph tolls. One Newark trucking firm has equipped all its trucks with radios, on the theory that Stan keeps night drivers from drowsing. When a murderer last year eluded the New Jersey police and hit for the highways, Stan sounded the alarm between recordings of Mexicali Rose and The Very Thought of You; within 15 minutes a lunchwagon proprietor had the fugitive cornered.

Result: a potpourri of short-wave noises, most of them promptly identified...

(licensed by Armstrong) started to make receiving sets which could be switched from commercial reception to frequency modulation. Last week these were put on sale in Newark, and this week they will be launched in New York. Price: $75 to $225. Stromberg-Carlson is also preparing to put sets on sale. Besides Alpine, two other frequency-modulating broadcasting stations (at Paxton, Mass, and Hartford, Conn.) are underway and others (Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Washington, Milwaukee) are scheduled...
