Baseball

The local sports have raised purse of S750 to be divided between the Doug las and Juneau baseball teams in the measure of proficiency shown. Five games are to be played and in each games S15O will be given the winner. The first game of the series was played ou the Douglas grounds last Sunday and was terrible disappointment to the Island fans. Douglas lost the game in the first two innings by bunch of un- gainly errors that would bring tears to the eyes of a potato. Besides, the Ju neau team was strong, well fed, and re inforced with a species of luck that would indicate that the players had re- gently kissed the shadowy goddess square in the mouth.
 Malloy, who pitched for the visitors, earned his salary by flaming twelve and holding the hits down to seven. Jobn- son was not as efficient for Douglas, but kept his head in spite of the errors and an uphill fight. The final score was 15 to ,.

TETRAZZ|N| ADVISES
BREEDING MUSICIANS
Intermarriage of Artists, She
Says, Would Produce
Music Ideal.

NEW YORK, March 3-Mme. Luisa
Tetrazzini Is advocating the production
of vocal aristocracy' by the inter
marriage of the worlds greatest sing
ers for the express purpose of develop
ing musical artists. She gave her views
on the subject in an interview in To-
ronto yesterday.
singers should marry singers" said
Nine TetraZzini, in order that, after
several generations, the very essence Of
music should flow through the veins Of
the children bred and educated in this
ideal environment.
1t is so that the dancers of Europe
are recruited. The famous musicians,
the Bachs, OF Germany, the Strausses
and other are brought to excellence by
just such high ideals of marriage.
In this way we would breed a race
far surprising in purity and brilliancy
of tone the singers of today. We would
produce singers rivaling the tabled
gIOries of the angel choirs.
why not? Love is merely a senti-
ment and frequently leads us astray.
For generations princesses and princes
have sacrificed their hearts desires in
order to breed a race of kings. 1t is
almost invariably the case-with Mad
anne Heink and Louise Ho-
mer as exceptions-that opera singers
lead notably unhappy lives In their
domestic relations. Home life is not for
them, and their wonderful voices belong
TO the great world. The qualities of
the fine natural voice are purely physi-
cal, a matter of birth and the inherited
shape Of throat and larynx.
Even in cases where a young student
has a fine talent for voice or instru-
ment. and where good teaching is at
tainable, very often the musical de-
ftciencies OF parents ruin the best work
and stunt the natural progress by. lack
Of sympathy. The best teachers wottld
be aided by parents who were profess
sionals themselves"

mick families here say the countess.
who is living with her mother and her
daughter in Washington, said today
that she Will shortly leave the Capital
for Chicago to take court action.
The legal separation which Count
Gizych obtained in the Austrian courts

tatned by the count on the plea that his
wife had deserted him. and had taken
their daughter with her to London and

ncia. shortly after the outbreak of the
trouble, was kidnapped by the count, but
the Gar ordered him to give the girl
