This is the first comprehensive COL
lection of Elizabethan madrigal verse.
which means something to the lovers
OF music as well as of verse. AS the
editor remarks in the preface, 'Tt has
for many years been recognized that
the song books of the great English
musical composers who flourished for
a brief but brilliant period at the
close OF the sixteenth and beginning
or the seventeenth century contain a
splendid collection of lyric poetry writ

familiar except to the very few. And
in this collection he has not only re-
printed the generally recognized Sc

service to English literature by the
salvage of a vast mass of material
that would otherwise remain mac
cessible.
The volume contains innumerable
beautiful songs and lyrics. AS might
be expected. however, the poems differ
vastly in their quality; some are ex.
quisite both in thought and express

ception as well as in workmanship. To
the modern reader there is something
annoying about the Elizabethan poetic
conventions, especially when they are
countless times in evidence and this.
combined with the fact that dozens of
the poems are practically identical in
theme, tends to weaken the appeal
of the collection. None the less, there
is i'm majority of the poems some
thing essentially modern in tone: and
beyond the Elizabethan artificialities
of expression, diversions and classical
references we can discover thoughts
and feelings that are our own. emo

typical:

CHICAGO, August 3.-None of the

OF course, do not know that any of

few Of the rules that will be enforced.
Just keep 1t in mind that, regardless
OF the verdict OF juries, base ball is en-
tlrely competent to protect itself against
the crooks. both inside and outside the
game"
Charles A. Comiskey. owner of the
Chicago White Sox, declared that the
verdict freeing his former players did
not change his stand. and that until they
cleared themselves" to his satisfaction
he would have nothing to do with them
Cicotte confessed he was guilty and
implicated Others" Comiskey said today.

have not been accounted for. They i'm

Failure to obtain convictions of the
former White Sox players was disap-
pointing to President Ban johnson of
the American League.
The trial of the indicted players
and gamblers uncovered the greatest
crime 1t was possible to commit in
base ball." President johnson said.
The fact that the outfit was freed by
a jury does not alter the conditions
one iota or minimize the magnitude
Of the offense.

clean and right-thinking public as the
