of the Los Angeles Club and vice
president of the Pacific Coast League,
would inject more orange blossoms
into the national pastime. Wedding
Bells for all the players, he believes,
would result in the highest possible
efficiency.
Not that Berry has a gTudge
against single men. It is merely that
he has for many years been careful
student of this inside" factor in dia-
mond victories, and that his observa-
tons demonstrate to his complete
satisfaction that wives help win pen
nants through their influence over
ballplayers.
In this connection it is an inter-
esting fact that Berry is at the head
of an aggregation numbering more
married players than any other club
in the country, so far as available
records show.

LARGE AUDIENCE
EXPECTED TO BE
At OPERA HOUSE

Reports from the box-office, in the
rooms of the Promotion Committee,
are to the effect that the advance sale
of seats for the recital by Herr George
Casper at the Opera House tonight
has proved most encouraging to that
artist. Provided the advance may be
taken as criterion, the house will be
well filled with lovers of music when
the first number of the elaborate pro-
gram is presented.
The first number on the program
includes: "Chanson Louis XIII ct
Pavanne," "Meditatiens from ,Tais,"
r'Minuet in F." by Handel; "Gayotte,"
by Gretry Franks; "Pierrot Serenade,"
by Randegger.
The SECOND number is composed of
several selections from Handel.
The third is opened with. Syend-
sens Romance" and is followed by
a duetto by Leonard, selection from
Kreisler and one from Wieniawski.
The final number is Concerto No.
% in A Minor" by Viotti.
