Senator Joseph w. Bailey Of Texas,
whose seat was near the main door
Of the senate, was in the midst Of an
impassioned speech one day when
Senators Warren and Overman met
near the door a few steps away from
him and began to converse in an un-

then toward Bailey; turned to go out
and then came back and began whis-
pering again.
Suddenly Senator Bailey stopped in
the middle of a burst of oratory and

Baptist Pipe Organ.


Orr Baptist friends are put
ting the finishing touches upon
the mstallment Of their splendid
new pipe organ as we go to
press. 1t is a marvel of beauty,
completeness and efficiency and
possesses the latest and best
features in the construction Of
those wonderful instruments. The
action is tubular, pneumatic, by
which a Slight touch of the fin
ger turns ofs and on the various
registers and combinations Civ
ing complete control with the
slightest effort. 1t is operat-
ed oy a massive electrical motor
weighing $50 pounds by which
these wonderful results, as well
as the production of tone, are
ace mplished. The registers of
pipes range from the slight,
deli ate tones of the violin to
the thunders Of the pedal bass
thus giving a variety, beauty and
impressiveness closely rivaling
the orchestra in musical effect.
Mr.. Lawrence w. Robbins of
Kansas City and formerly must
cal hrector of Lexington College,
has teen selected to conduct the
dedicatory recital upon this or
gan en- Tuesday, May 9th, at s
O'Clock p. H., sharp. The Sc
lection is a wise one as Mr.. Rob
bins is one of the most distin-
guished as well as popular or
ganists of the west. He has
been the organist of the Second
Christian Science Church on
Troost Avenue in Kansas City
since its magnificent organ was
installed a few years ago, by
which Mr.. Robbins has earned
for the church and its organ a
notable fame for its beautiful
music, which is most enviable.
Outside Of this Mr.. Robbins SER
vices are in active demand in
Kansas City and the country tri-
butary to it for concert and
organ recitals and as he is in
the zenith of his powers the peo-
pie will be sure to be delighted
with him. He will present on
the occasion a varied programme,
which will illustrate the resources
of the splendid instrument, sat
isfy the most exacting in the
higher realms of music as well
as please the ordinary music
lover with music of a lighter
and more popular caste. 1t is
to be hoped that a large audience
of our people will show their APP
probation of good music and in
dorsement of this new enterprise
IN the way Of pipe organs.

NEW HAVEN TO HAVE

Many local athletes are interested in the state A. A. P. championship track and field games in New Haven un- der the auspices of the New Haven A. A. for Saturday afternoon, July 21 The New Haven A. A officials report that everything indicates at present one of the biggest athletic meets eer held in the state. In fact, so far as known, Connecticut has never before held a set of A. A. U. championship games taking the whole state as an A A. U. district. The boys, who win prizes in the various events, will be the un- doubted champions of the state in these events Such a meet gives a chance to get next to who are the best athletes in the state.
 A special feature is the state cham pionship club trophy. Athletes may compete 'tunattached'' or may repre- sent their clubs. The winners in each event receive for first place five points, second place three points. third place one point. Clubs small and large throughout the state may enter as many men in the competition as they desire, and the club, whose members win the most points, will receive a handsome prize suitably engraved which will give this club the state A.

AMERICA MEETS
 GERMANY AT TENNIS
Second Round in Davis Cup With M'LoughIin vs.
 FrOtzheim

Nottingham, England, July 10.- The American and German tennis rep resentatfves played their last practice games yesterday for the second round, which begins today, of the Dwight F. Davis International Lawn Tennis Cup matches.
 The weather, however, like that of other days since the Americans ar rived in England, has not been at all favorable for tennis. The almost ex- treme cold which prevailed earlier in the week has been followed by warm CT, but showery weather, which, be- sides keeping the men back, has had it's effect on the courts.
 The draw is looked upon as being favorable to the American players. Otto F'roitzheim is Germany's strong est singles player; in fact, he is de- scribed by some tennis experts as the steadiest player in the world, so it is considered just as well for the Amer ican team that he should meet Mau- rice B. Mclaughlin, Americas cham pion, in the first days play.
 The showing made by Oscar Kreut- ger of Germany at Wimbledon in the Al1-Eng1and championships hardly justifies the belief that he can beat R. Norris Williams of Philadelphia.

LITTLE GIRL GETS
 BALL AFTER MAKING
 CATCH OF FOUL FLY

New York, July 1o.-Annunciata Malafronte, thirteen years old. is the proud possessor today of a real big league baseball presented to her by Umpire Quigley as a. souvenir of the wonderful catch she made at the Brooklyn-Cincinnati game on Ebbets' Field yesterday. In the eighth inning Otto Miller whizzed sizzling foul into the upper tier of the grand stand in the midst of six thousand parochial school children. Most of the girls screamed but little Miss Malafronte put up her tiny pair of hands and coolly wrapped them around the ball as if it was only a bean bag. The catch was greeted with a roar of ap- p1ause that shook the stadium. Miss Malafronte bIushing1y handed the ball to one of the ushers but a minute later Umpire Quigley stepped from his place behind the batter's box and toss ed brand new league ball up into the stand for Miss Malafronte.

JACK GLASSCOCK NOW
 CARPENTER IN WHEEL ING

Cincinnati, July 1O.-Jack Glass cock, the great shortstop of thirty years ago, is a carpenter in Wheeling W. Va Old Jack, now nearing the sixty mark, was one of the merry spenders, and has little of his wealth remaining. He owns a nice home and gets enough contracts to keep him comfortable, while his health is good and he is a great favorite with the juvenile fans of Wheeling. What a shortstop was old Pebbly Jack!
 He could cover ground with the best of them, his throwing arm was so strong that the first basemen were scared to death, and he was a mighty batter. For nearly twenty years Glasscock was a star at the short field, and there have been few, if any, who were superior.
