SOL LOWE WENSTElN

Last Wednesday evening the pupils
OF Messrs. Emanuel and Sol. NJ. Low
enstein gave their annual recital in the
auditorium of the high school building.
4 crowded house greeted the recital
lists who entertained with one of the
best musical programs of the year, in
fact. this was the crOwning event
along instrumental musical activities
for the year. There were seventeen
numbers. The first number was
Violin Ensemble, eighteen violins in
unison. The remaining numbers on
the program were piano solos, violin
trio. boys and girls ensemble classes,
and numbers by the students orches-
ira. The program closed with num-
Der from the students orcherta which
was "A Hunting Scene from Buci-
nillio.
There is nothing that the Ardmore
schools are more proud Of than their
orchestra. II is the best orchestra OF
its kind in the state, without single
execution. This excellence could hard
ly have been obtained without direc-
tor like Sol NJ. Lowenstein. He is the
leader of the Lowenstein orchestra OF
this city, which has a statewide repu
tation.

He was superintendent of
the schools at Woodward be-
fore coming here. When he
came, the high school was
conducted in the third ward
building and in the auditori-
um of the Carnegie library.
Under circumstances as these
it was natural that there
would be some loss of effici-
ency, but when the high
school moved to its new build
ing, it was quickly reorganiz-
ed, until now it is one of the
most highly systematized and
efficient high schools in the
state. With a man less able
than Mr.. Erdman as princi-
pal of the high school, these
things could not have been
brought about.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL ATTORNEYS
QUESTION JURISDICTION FEDERAL
COURT IN THE ANTITRUST SUIT

Chicago, Jan. 21.-The question of the
federal courts Jurisdiction and the re-
viewed declaration that the National and
American Leagues have SO modified their
contracts that a player becomes a free
agent the year after the expiration of his
agreed term of service were features at
todays session of the antitrust suit
against the most powerful bodies OF or
ganized baseball.
George W. Pepper OF Philadelphia.
counsel for organized baseball, discussed
the question of jurisdiction at some
length after the Federal League attor-
neys had stated their side of the case.
Pepper quoted authorities to show that
there must be a federal question involv-
ed to secure hearing in a federal court.
He declared the intervening suit of Lee
Magee was not to be regarded, and said
the only federal question was that in
the charge that the defendants main.
tanned a monopoly in restraint OF inter-
state commerce.
Sections of the Clayton law were then
cited to show that labor is not regarded
as an article of commerce. and the de-
cision in the Hammerstein- Metropolitan
Opera Co. case was brought in as anoth-
ed authority on the subject.
The decision. holding that labor of op-
era singers was not commodity of COM
nerce, was held by Pepper applicable to
the labor of ball players. Judge Lands
did not decide the question.
In his general argument which fol.
lowed after Keenc Addington had ended
his presentation o. the plaintiffs case
and Quincy 4. Meyer had talked on the

jurisdiction question. Pepper declared
that he did not know what the Fedora,
League was asking to have enjoined
Ihelr grievance is not that we prevent
them from finding the young ball players
on the lot and developing them through
training in the various minor leagues .s
We 90; they want to attain in one bound
the advantage We have gained throueh
10 years of labor: they want to prof,
from the skill developed by our money :,
he said.
Pepper declared there were few cases
of individual hardship worked against
players by the Today clause, the reserve
rule and the judgments of the National
Commission.
1t is noteworthy that neither the 10
day clause nor the reserve rule We're
specified by the Ball Players Fraternity
as objeetional," he said I'VE admit
having made some mistakes. 1 do not
believe I would have treated an old war
horse like Mordecai Brown the way he
was treated, but 1 ask that answers of
the defendants to the afTidavits of the
players be read carefully The latter
omitted to tell their life story, how they
were brought from the minors and the
progressively larger salaries they re-
ceived.'
In 1918 the conditions under which
baseball was played had recorded a
marked advance. said the lawyer, land

a balance to the credit side Of our &C

phasized, made for him liberty.
