Speaking Of another game, he
says: Richmond turned the tables
on South Melbourne. and won by
twenty-three runs to six. Anderson,
the southern pitcher. In sliding to
third base. struck his head against
the base. and the shaking affected his
pitching. Brerton, who had played a
magnificent game at shortstop, took
up the attack, but could not hold the

for twenty-three base hits, to which
Eastman contributed four

Music Club Course.

The Monday Music club this year
is arranging the most ambitious
course it has attempted during the
sixteen seasons of its existence.
Mischa Elman, violinist whose
name is almost a household word.
will open the series on October 81.
Perhaps the greatest triumph OF the
club was achieved last year when
Fritz Kreisler gave the opening con-
cert and hundreds of people from sur
rounding towns focked to hear him.
This year the executive committee
thought it would be interesting for
the public to hear his great Russian
com-peer, Mischa Elman. Inquiries
regarding the concert have alre"dy
been received from neighboring
towns regarding the concert OF Oct.
81. The Russian symphony orchestra
was added as it appeared here once
before and there was great demand
for a return engagement. The same
is true of Madam Lenska who sang
mere last summer in private recital
People wishing tickets should secure
them at once In order to receive full
benefit from the course and make
satisfactory reservation next Monday.

that remained to be done was to run

Giants In 1912 and he let the ball

snatched it from the greensward and
