CLEAN BILL GIVEN
 D0DGER TOURISTS

New York, Dec. 7-Charges that the Brooklyn Dodger team, which is transforming Cuba at the present time, was creating a bad impression among Cubans by their indifferent playing and charges of rowdyism are entirely refuted by Otto Miller, Brooklyn, catcher. and Charles Mahl, sporting editor of the Havana Post who were cabled by President Charles Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club, for an explanation of the rumors.
 Mahrs reply sets at rest any sus- picion that the American players were conducting themselves other than as gentlemen on and off the field. He says that there was abso- lutely no foundation for the report which originated in the sporting de- partment of a certain Cuban news paper, and Miller supplements this statement by declaring that the writer who made the unfair asser- tions had been discharged.

 First evidences of the success of the school were exhibited recently when the students were used to vel come the various armament confer ence delegations.

ARMY MUSIC WILL COMPARE WITH
 BEST BANDS

washtn gton, Dec. Army music soon will compare with that or the best orchestras and bands of the country. Popular music will be sup plemented by the classical master pieces and a superband and orchestra will be created from army musicians.
 General Pershing already has or dered the establishment here of the Army Music School and Walter Dam rosch, conductor of the New York symphony Orchestra, has pledged him assistance in work of orsaniza- = tion. Both are determined through the school to elevate music in the army.
 The object of the school. as outlin- ed in the orders issued by General Pershing, ''is to give courses Of in struction in music, both practical and theoretical. elementary and ad- vanced to student-bandsmen, to ad- vanced instrumentalists (soloists). and to student-band leaders, to stand ardize and perfect band music, and to supply trained personnel therein to meet, as fully as possible, the needs of the service.''
 The first move to better army music was made by General PerSh- ing soon after he took over the office of Chief of Staff. One of his first ac- lions was to transfer the school from Fort Jay, New York, to Washington and direct that it be reorganized as a "super-band," comparable only to the splendid band which was organiz- ed in France.

New York, Dec. For the first time in the history of intercollegiate rowing Yale and Columbia will meet in a regatta. on the Harlem River next spring. The event has been set for Saturday, April 29, and will be the first of the season for the Columbia oarsmen. Just what races will be rowed has not been decided. The re- gatta mark have three contests-for varsity, junior varsity and freshman eights-but the chances are that the freshman event will be eliminated.
 The selection of the Harlem River for the egatta-particularly Yales consenting to race on the old course will come as a great surprise to those who had regarded She Harlem as no longer fit for rowing compe- tition. Yale was to have met Co., lumbia on the Harlem last spring, but the Ellis declined to come here and had the regatta shifted to the HCusatonic course at Derby, Conn. Yale held that the condi :ion of the river here prec1uded the scheduling of an important intercollegiate re- gatta.
