VIII Charlie and Ty
Scrap Once More?

When the Boston Braves hook
up with the Detroit Tigers in
their spring exhibition series,
will Charlie Herzog arrange a
continuation of his scrap with Ty
Cobb?
Two years ago the Giants and
Tigers toured Dixie together.
Herzog complained at Cobb's
method Of sliding into second
with his spikes high and the re-
suit was a hot fight on the field
which was adjourned to a hotel
room. Cobb was generally given
the decision.
Now Herzog will have another
opportunity, for he will once

ENJOYABLE PROGRAM
AT SUNDAY CONCERT

Featured with most enjoyable or
gan. vocal and violin numbers the
program for the Sunday afternoon
concert given yesterday at the First
Presbyterian church proved one OF
the most delightful so far presented.
The artists appearing were Mrs.
George r. Williams. organist OF
Mishawaka. Miss Vida Shonts.
violinist. and Miss ZOlah Montgoyn-
cry. soprano. with Mrs. G.. A E'ara-
baugh and Miss Dora Hershenow
acting as accompanies. Due 10 a
misunderstandsng in regard TO the
publishing OF the concert announce
ment. the size Of the audience was
lessened 10 a noticeable degree. a
fact especially regrettabie in view
Of the excellence OF the program.
Mrs Williams rendition of the
organ numbers was in every instance
indicative Of real musicianship and
ability TO procure proper tone. Es-
pecially were these qualities evil
dent in her playing Of the opening
number. 'Laudate DOminum" by
sheldon. OF the Largo" from New
World symphony by Dvorak, and
Johnston Midsummer Caprice"
all OF which gave ample opportunity
FOR the player 10 display the finished
technique which invariably charac-
terizes her numbers.
In Song OF India" by Rimsky-
KOrsakoff the clear soprano voice OF
Miss Montgomery was heard 10 best
advantage. A charming presence
added TO her ability as a singer made
Miss MontgOmery's appearance a
most Dleasurable one. Another num-
Der particularly we'll received was
Sans Soucis Where Blossoms
Grow" in which remarkably fine
tone and shading was achieved by
the artist
Always a favorite with South Bend
audiences. Miss Shonts was greeted
with cordial appreciation in her
two groups Of violin numbers, COM
prising "Mazurka" by Nolpe. "Ro-
nance" by Papini and Songs OF
Home" by Smetana. Miss ShOnts
succeeds admirably in procuring the
singing tone from a violin, an ac-
compIishment lacking in so many
players.
Dr. c. A. LippincOtt gave in his
review OF the most important event
Of the week. the beginning Of action
toward the unifying OF the Christian
churches of the world His remarks
were particularly timely.
