opera music. church music. songs and
so forth that were singing themselves
4 in his mind. In all this remarkable
lad who grew to be a remarkable man
composed more than 500 songs before
he died at the age of thirty one years.
He was always very poor and many
of his most beautiful songs were sold
for the price of a meal. He was
laughed at and insulted: he was often
cold and usually hungry but in spite
of all the hardships that he had to
endure the music never left his soul.
One of his most famous songs is "The
Erl King" the words of which were
written by Goethe. The story Is told
that one day Schubert saw a volume
of Goethe's poems lying on the table
and picking 1t up he read the Erl
King. Immediately the sound OF the
rushing wind and the horrors of the
magic wood formed musical cadences
and chords in his mind. and grasping
a pen Schubert wrote the beautiful
song. which today is one OF the most
popular on the concert stage. TAs
song was sung by famous singer ana
published by a music publisher IN
Vienna who gave the composer next
TO nothing for it. but very soon the
publisher made neat little fortune
out of the song, while Schubert in his
garnet was dying OF misery and pow
erty.
When he died he was laid to rssA
near the grave OF his great friend.
Beethoven, and on Schubsrt's tomb
stone were carved the words: Music
buried here a rich possession and yet
fairer hopes" The music that glad
dened his heart he gave to gladden. the
world and his songs are living monu-
nlents to his eApias-

just mentioned. Note that the hole IN
the movable arm is of a different size
than the one in the by wheel.
Fish line or other stout cord should
be used for assembling the movable
arm to the shaft. The string must not
be stiff but very pliable SO it will wrap
about the shaft easily. Tie a knot
in the string each side of the shaft.

CHICAGO OR new YORK
GETS SECOND PLACE
BY VICTORY TODAY
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-The Chicago
and New York American League clubs
today met in the final contest of their
three-ga anne series with immediate
possession of second place in the
league standing and better chance
of overtaking the Cleveland Indians
in the pennant race as the reward for
the winner.
Two consecutive victories over the
ca sterners, each gained by vigorous
hitting against leading pitchers, has
placed the White SoX only half a
game behind the Yankees, who are a
game in the rear Of Cleveland.
The New York team, however, can
not go into first place today. Should
Cleveland lose to Washington and
New York defeat Chicago, the Yam
KEGS and the Indians would be appar-
emily tied in games won and lost, but
actually a point apart in percentage,
with Cleveland having the advantag e.
Shawkey and Ccotte to Pitch
Higgins planned to place the pitch
ing assignment in the hands of Bob
Shawkey, dependable veteran.
Cicotte was the early selection of
the White SoX. He has not been in
the box for more than a week, due
to Indifferent work in his recent con-
tests. A series of morning workouts
are said to have brought him back to
the form which at one time made him
the most consistent winner on the To-
cal team.
Both teams were called in confer
ence by their managers last night,
and Higgins is quoted as telling his
men that their backs were to the
wall, with their pennant chances de-
pending very much on today's game
An interesting duel between Babe
Ruth and Cicotte was expected if the
latter pitched, for the New York
slugger has not made home run off
the Chicagoan, and one today would
;; bring his season total to 80.
