night. decision by Umpire Brans-
field, who declared Pitcher Lavender
of the Philadelphia's out for running
off the line between second and third
bases in the third inning when Phil

basis of the complaint
Lavender had started to cross the
diamond from second, apparently be-
lieving he had been called out on a
play at that base, but turned and
reached third base before the ball was
thrown to that position.
Manager Moran said his protest
was based on the ground that a run
ner cannot legally be retired for leav-

avoid being tagged

At the Edge
Work is dull and play is duller
Where the mighty Shadow waits;
Where the crimson flame draws nearer
And the storm is at our gates;
With divided concentration,
Each must grope across the bridge
What is sport or law or labor
In the glow of Vimy Ridge?
Once I thought of Cobb or Speaker
Once l turned to double plays;
Now Shadow seems to stalk me
Through the length of restless days
Where the hand of Fate seems reaching
Through the shades of forming lines,
Where the air is full of murmurs,
And the sky is full of signs.
Once felt the spell of April
Through it's sunshine and its rain;
Now the putt no longer thrills me,
And the fairway calls in vain;
There are voices from the roadside,
There's a whisper from the ledge,
And the winds are rife with echoes
AS we wait upon the edge.

7 HEN I went to hear our own
"The Canterbury Pilgrims" at


 | wv MT Reginald DeKoven's opera, The Canterbury Pilgrims" at
 'he metropolitan during my recent visit
 to New York, felt very much like the old man whose literary wife made him go 10 all sorts of meetings of high brow things; during an evening of a
 leariuily classic programme, the old man
 quletly dropped asleep in his chair; after aooue two hours perfectly good "snoozeN
 ne Was rudeiy awakened by a friend, who, nuuslng nm on the arm, said:

 arise to remark, however that this
 Ieehng was entirely dispeled as far as
 was concerned after the first act of
 MT: Dekoyen's very tuneful and very
 melodic opera.
 somebody asked me when I said I'd cnosen to hear The Canterbury Pill grims' in preference to all the other op- eIas being sung at the Metropolitan,
 Klgoletto with Caruso, "Lamke" with Barrlentos, Butterfly with Farrar, and even the infrequently given "Parsifal' on Good Friday, with the romantically ! impressive MT Urlus in the title role and Madame Matzenauer as the emotionally concentrated Kundry," while Mr Clar- ence Whitehill sang the mighty Amfor- tas with distinction rarely equaled and never surpassed, according to the critics, and plainly answered:
 Because I want to see and hear for myself what an American opera is like at the Metropolitan; the Italian, the Ger ! man, the French and the Russian things I've heard time and again, but an Amer
 jean opera-no.''
 Besides tongues were still wagging in New York musical menage over the pros" and Icons" of "The Canterbury Pilgrims;' MT. Aldrich of the Times was saying one thing, MT. Henderson of the Sur another, Mr. Khriebel of the Tribune something else, while the opera lobbies themselves were surcharged with accusa- tions inuendoes and quips, and I plainly wanted to form my own opinion. The main thing that I heard concerning the presentation of MT. DeKoven's opera was that it was not accepted on it's mer- it's, but because of social influence (you know the DeKovens are the real thing in New Yorlx's -four hundred ) ; think Mrs. DeKoven was once described by the Town Topics Saunterer" Gas being among those present at the op- era, very stunning in blue and silver and looking as if she had a feather dus- ter in her hair'D; this is regarded as
 fame. The main accusation was made
 tEat MT. Bodanzky, the eminent conduc-
 tor, practically rewrote the score of
 "The Pilgrims" There were also other
 little mean, ugly, snippy things in cir
 culation.
 Let me say right here that, I am of
 the firm belief that every unkind criti-
 csm that has been made because of the acceptance of MT. DeKovens opera and
 it's presentation on such a magnificent
 scale at the Metropolitan has been
 nstigated by jealousy, pure and simple; jealous composers, jealous singers, who resent an intrusion of American opera in the 'Sanctum Sanctorium'' of for
 egn opera.

After the first act of "The Canterbury Pilgrims, which is strangely reminis- cent of Robin Hood,' with all it's lit and swish and swing and tuneful melody, began Ito sit up and take notice; in other words, to grow critical myself, and let me say that before the hour was spent, I found much to admire in the melodic flow, the agreeable and pleas ing score Gas well as the libretto from the capable hands of Percy Mackaye) the finished orchestration and the fluent cho- ral work.
 Some clever critic (and thoroughly agree with him) said:
 "If Bodanzky really is capable of writ ing such a work as The Canterbury Pill grims,' then he should, by all means. publish some operas of his own"
 It would be impossible to place this child of DeKoven's brain on the door step of Bodanzl<y or any other composer, just as it would be impossible to place the children of Shakespeare's brain at the shrine of Bacon; the work is so de- cidedly "DeKoven esque;" so absolutely savoring of his early light operas; so entirely tuneful and melodic that 1t would be quite ridiculous
 On the occasion when I heard "The Canterbury Pilgrims" the last, but one of the six performances of this opera given during the season), there was a seating capacity audience to greet MT. DeKovens opera, which in itself I re- gard as a high tribute.
 The occasion was devoid of the strenu- osity that accentuated the previous per formance of the opera, one week before, when the news was flashed from the Metropolitan stage after the first act of the Presidents declaration of war; Madame Ober, "The Wife of Bath." tainted; MT. Gerard made a speech from his box everybody sang The Star Spangled Banner and did a lot of other things, including the putting to MT.
