KREIsUER CONCERT.

As a result of the work of Fritz Kreisler, the great violinist, who will play at Polls on Sunday afternoon under the management of Rudolph Steinert, the literature of the violin has been nearly doubled in the last few years. Buried in libraries and in musical collections in Italy and France were vast quantities of music by composers long forgotten. who flourish ed, particularly in Italy, dur ing the 17th and 18th centuries. At that time the violin was more gener ally cultivated than 1t is today and a vast amount of music was written for it.
 For years Kreisler gave a great part of his time to hunting up and going over this, separating the wheat from tlhe chaff. As a result of his beautiful music which was well worthy of a place on a recital pro- gram Nor has he limited himself to old violin music. He has taken many piano pieces, many forgotten songs and arias and arranged them for his instrument.
 Kreisler himself is known to the public not only as a fascinating in- terpreter but as composer of suc- cessfu1 compositions and arrange ments in small forms, as we'll as the originator of the music of the comic opera, Apple Blossoms
 There is every reason to expect sig nificant new comp positions, in grander forms, of this great man. Kreisler is not only @ player, but a thinker. He not only rejoices In melody and rhythm, but he knows the world, has lived and reflected on life. These are things, these and the fully adequate technic of composition which Kreisler has developed. that result dn signif- cant music.

San Antonio. Tex, March S-As an outfelder who contributed materially to the success of the New York Giants last season, Irish Meusel, in spring training with his teammates here, says he is ready to break into the statistician class. He says bat ting averages should be revised. And he says he is not in favor of the new leader of it in the recent worlds series games. He says his plan will give credit where credit is due.
 MeuseIs scheme is to credit the batter with the amount of bases he advances a man.
 It Is we'll known among baseball men that some batters are better at the plate than others when there are sion proves too much for some of the hitters.
 Dope on S1uggers.
 Sluggers who can whale the ball a mile when the sacks are empty often take that long walk back to the water bucket when there are two or three men on the sacks.
 MeusePs scheme Is If a man Is on second base and the batter hits a long single and scores the runner the hitter sh ould be given the credit in a special column for three bases-the one he made himself and the two he advanced the runner.
 If the sacks were loaded and he cleaned them with a double he would get credit for the two bases he made himselfs the three the man covered who was on first. the two the man from second and the single base for the player who was on third. That would give the slugger a credit of eight bases.
 How About Scorers? . While Meusers system might make a hit with ball players it would not go oven. strong with the scorers.
 ''In games in Southern California this winter I have noticed how the present system of passing averages fails to tell a players true value," said Meusel.
 'A> hit that advances a man Is more valuable than one without any one on bases. They are not worth ten cents a dozen, but imagine how the fans would clamor for a hit with the bases loaded, or with only one man on!"
