  The recent observation by the CDF Collaboration of an excess in $W$ plus
dijet events, where the dijet invariant mass shows a 3.2$\sigma$ peak around
$144 \pm 5$ GeV, is shown to be consistent with the production of a radion
$\Phi$ of mass in this range, in association with a $W$ boson. It is shown that
the $\Phi$, which is known to be similar to the Higgs boson in many aspects,
differs from it in having a much larger cross-section for $q\bar q \to W\Phi$
and in decaying principally to gluons, rather than $b\bar b$ pairs. These
appear to be the precise features demanded by the new particle interpretation
of the CDF events. No modifications of the underlying model are required.
