THE "BIG FOUR" CONCERTS

The first number of the Big Four
Concerts" will be given in the college
auditorium, by the Choral Union, Mon
day evening, December 10th. This
concert will be in the nature of a pop
ular part song concert, the first part
of the program will consist of two
c%horuses, both being sung in Latin.
These numbers are taken from two of
the best known and most popular
Masses used by the churches of the
day. The Gloria from the 10Th Mass
by Mozart, and the Sanctus from the
Masse Solennelle by Gounod. A trio,
Praise Ye, from Attila by Verdi, suns
by Marie Colfx. Ivan Bremen and Mr..
Hedge, a groupe Of violin solos by MI.
Cooke, a groupe of songs by Miss Col
fix. The second part Of the program
will consist of the Cantata "Hiawatha's
Wedding Feast" words taken from
the Longfellow poem, "Hiawatha," the
music written by the colored man,
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. This music
is particularly suited to the beautiful
words of the Hiawatha poem, it is in
this part that the wonderful tenor
solo, con away, awake beloved
which is considered by the musical
critics all over the world as IN Of
the most beautiful solos ever written,
is sung by Mr.. Hedge.
Although this is very strenuous
times, still we must not forget the
aesthetic side of life as such concerts
like the Choral Union is to give will
keep us from getting into a staid rut.
The Choral Union have been working
hard with the assistance of the college
orchestra on this concert so please
show appreciation and give them a
good audience on Monday night, De-
cember 10th, at Sis.

GIANTS ONLY
 JOKE TEAM IN
 COBB'S OPINION

New York, April 1o-Ty Cobb thinks very highly of the Giants chances. The mighty Tyrus thinks so well of the New York team that he says talk about the Giants winning g pennant is a laugh."s In a Cincin- nati interview Cobb declares that 'instead of being sure champions the Giants constitute joke team.''
 He predicts that before the season is three weeks old Zimmerman, Fletcher and Herzog will fight harder with each other than with any other National League team. There will be one riot after andther on that team," continues Ty. Internal riots will ruin all the prospects of the Giants"
 It may be added, however, that Cobb was such harmonious factor in Detroit shortly after he joined the team that it was a daily habit of every member of the Detroit club to take Ty out in the woodshed and give him a good harhmering. Yet in spite of that Detroit won the pennant in 1907, 1908 and 1909.

 Blue Ribbon basketball players en-
 gage in the third game of their series. !, In their previous appearances here
 the Trojans have impressed the fans
 as being the best aggregation, that played here this season.
 Dick Leary. the best center of them all, will be seen with Troy but will , be closely watched by Chris Leonard, who has been engaged by the Rib bons for this contest. Leary is such a good shooter, however, that he is likely to toss goals from any posi- 1; ton. Jack Inglis, cnsidered the best , forward in the country, will show the fans some of his fancy shots and Chief Muller will also be on hand. George Norman and White are to play Forwards for the Ribbons and Joe Dreyfuss will pair with Swenson at guard. The main game will start at S:so and Tom Thorp will referee.

SUNDAY. HAS SEASON PASS FOR
 NATIONAL LEAGUE.

New York, April 1o-Billy Sunday received a season pass from John K. Tener, president of the National League, yesterday-and the baseball community of New York will be glad to learn that MT. Sunday intends to make use of it. He will not, however, be able to attend te Yankee opening tomorrow. He has two rounds to fight with the devil at the Sunday Taber- nacle A. c.
 The gift from the National League head was rendered in the spirit of ap- preciation for what MT. Sunday has done for the national game. In 1888 the famous revivalist was big league outfielder in Chicago. John K. Tener was a pitcher on the Boston team in the same circuit, and theh occasions were many wen they faced each other on the diamond.

BELMONT PARK
 WILL BE BUILT
 UP AFTER FIRE

/ New York, April 10-Belmont Park
 will be sstored and made ready in the next six weeks for the opening { day of the spring meeting on May 2S. i This cheering announcement for low CTS of thoroughbred racing was made yesterday by August Belmont, presi- dent of the Westchester Racing asso- citation.
 A full and complete report has not 1 been received as yet from the archi- I tects who surveyed the ruins yester- day of the fire which swept through :. the grand stand. field stand and the administration building early Satur- 1 day morning, but the preliminary re-
 port was encouraging enough to lead [ MT. Belmont to say:
 The chances are all in favor of
 making temporary repairs which will E put the stand in condition for the
 spring meeting next month. We are
 waiting for the full report, and if it is as satisfying as the preliminary one, work will begin this week.
 It will be easy enough to put up temporary building for the admin istrative offices and the jockeys, but
 SC me of the steel supports of the lgrandstand are slightly warped from < the heat, while the brick retaining wal at the back of the stand is badly 1ulged in spots.
 The big stand looks pretty much of a wreck, but to the eyes of a mo- vice not beyond repair inside of six weeks if some of the supports have not been too greatly weakened. Much satisfaction is being express ed that the club house was spared. { as 1t would have been impossible to resture that. It was damaged, of course, but chiefly by water and can be- re stored at no great expense. Frank Stevens, son of Harry Stevens, who has a contract at Bel mont Park, as he has at the Polo Grounds. and Ebbets Field, to cater to and satisfy the pangs of hunger and thirst of the multitude, paid a visit to, the track on Saturday after noon in the hope .-,at his supplies,
 stored there, over winter, might he. escaped. He was doomed to disa. l pointment and must pocket a loss of
 close to $10,000.
