grand slam Of Saturday. A high and
mighty homer into the leftfield stand.
A most important homer, seeing that
il carried two other runs ahead of It.
The crowd was roaring. And why
not? There was a highly enjoyable
fever of great enthusiasm. And then
some unbalanced boob spoiled the
party. He tossed out a pop bottle.
There was no malicious intent be-
hind II, / guess. If 1t were aimed at
anybody Il was a bum slam. But 1t
had the effect of starting the half
, baked going 80 that pop bottles
showered into the field. The Boston
players grouped at the pitchers box
and weathered the storm without in
jury while Inspector Cahalane swung
forty reserve policemen into the
grandstand and bleacAers-the first
time the police have been needed, and
all good sports who are for baseball
and are champions of its good name
will hope 1t will be the last, since the
Brush Stadium opened.

bump. Ford slapped 1t into short CEN

with all that excitement in the first
game, the second was logically a
quiet one.

Chicago was shocked at the story, but

CITY ORGANIZED
FOR MUSIC WEEK
Churches, Industries, Socia'
Organizations and Individ-
uals Ready for 1t.

One of the most wide reaching musical
movements ever attempted in New York
will start a week from today when New
York's Music Week. organized by repre-
sentatives of almost all the important
musical interests m the city, gets under
way.
Extensive plans have been made by the
organists and choir masters of the city,
including Brooklyn as well as suburban
towns for Music Week. 1t Is expected
that in almost every church a musical
service will be held next Sunday. and in
most of them an oratorio or sonata will
be sung. The clergy will speak on music
that day. Organ recitals will be given
in the course OF the week in many OF
the churches.
In addition to the churches schools
stores and factories, womens clubs, musi-
cal societies, musicians, theatres, motion
picture houses, public institutions, Libraries.
music dealers and manufacturers, COM
posers, newspapers and many other or
ganizations and individuals will cooperate
in the demonstration.
Music Week has the Endorsement OF the
National Association Of the Motion Picture
Industry. Special musical programmes
will be presented in almost all motion
picture theatres during the week.
The New York Neighborhood Service,
headed by Robert Lawrence. will stage
community sings in every available settle
ment house and recreational building
Industrial sings are to take In the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, with an employees
chorus of 5000; the New York Telephone
Company. the packing houses, the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, the American Can
Company. the Edison lamp works of the
General Electric Company, the Borden

Among the organizations allied with the
Music Week Committee are the New
York Community Service. the Neighbor-
hood Service, the Young Mems Christian
Association and the Young women's
Christian Association. the Humanitarian

singers have been engaged-Edward john

known in Italy half a dozen seasons: Tito

more stress on italian opera and less on
French than in past years, there are few

things like Aida" Carmen" and 'I Pagl-

its novelties in the first week and rely
upon familiar things later, but It Will pre-

Misfortune has followed the Chicago

left the company just before it arrived
and there was no time to obtain suitable
substitute. Last year Ducien Muratore.
it's chief French tenor left it on account
of misunderstanding with Mr.. Cam
panini before the company reached the
Lexington, and Miss Rosa Raisa- the
principal dramatic soprano of the organ
ization, was III in a hospital in Chicago
during its five weeks stay here. This
season the death of Mr. Campanini has
deprived it of its general manager. How
ever, there is every reason to believe the
present season at the Lexington Will be
the most successful of the three.
