BECAUSE he lived clean life,
"Christy" Mathewson is back
home in Factoryville, Pa, today al
most restored to health. He may
have to return to the Adirondack
for time to complete the cure, but
he has conquered in the battle
against the dread disease, tuberculo-
sis.
Never in all the years when he was
the idol of the baseball world did
"Matty' give greater exhibition of
courage than in the long drawn-out
struggle for his life. He had one
chance in thousand and he won. And
he won as he did many of his ball
games-on his courage
There's opportunity for clergy
men to preach sermons on the life of
this fine specimen of the Christian
and the athlete. He played the game
Of baseball fairly, honestly, always
giving the best that was in him. So
far as is known, he never took a mean
advantage of rival player, never
resorted to an unworthy trick, but
always "played the game"
II he hadn't led clean life, he
wouldn't be alive today.
Great as he was at the height of |
his career on the diamond he |
is greater today, for he has fought
the good fight and won.
When he returned to his old home
town the whole population turned out
to welcome him.

gift you bring to me
Of beauty on the hills of light that
top the singing sea.
Thank you for the spirit to be up and

To the toll that makes the meaning
of life's duty day by day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for
the happiness you bring
To the toiler in the trenches, to the

Thank you, Captain Morning, for the

For the hope and faith and courage

For the strength and Joy and purpose
to be off and face the strife
For the sake of simple service in the

with his right he conducted Corcli's

Messrs. Gudi and Dak played the solo
violin parts. Mr.. Van Vlict the cello,
with Mr.. Humjston at the organ. In
spite Of their different occupations,
each Of Mr.. Mcngclberg's hands knew
what the other was doing, and the per

Russian Pianists
Heard in Programs
OF Wide Contrasts
PrOkOiicN Dcvotes Much of
Recital TO His Own Work:
RaclinlaninOHs Concert "a
Treat to Large Audience

Vastly different Impressions were
conveyed by two recitals given yester-
day by two composing pianists OF the
same nationality. Serge Prokofiefr and
Serge Rachmaninon.
The younger Serge. who appeared at
Aeolian Hall in the afternoon. devoted
more than half the program to his
own pieces, am. mus it fell to the lost
of those who attended his recital to
hear some scraps from his opera, "Thc
Love for Three Oranges" which was
given here for the first time last night
at the Manhattan Opera House. These
scraps were marchc and an inter
mezzo. Like the rest of his pieces
which included DANA, Scherzo. Pre-
lude. Vision Fugitive and Toccata. they
were easily forp often upon leaving the
nall. and no more profound impression
was created his amiablc and adrot
playing Of the entire program.
The elder Serge Serge Vassilievich
was heard at Carnegie Hall in the eve
nlng. AS has long been his custom his
gram as "a concert of music for the
piano. and there could be no more
fclicitous description, so completely
does this great Russian eface his own
personality in the service of the com
poscrs that he interprcts. There were
many good things on the program
among others IIandel's Aria con
Nriazioni. Beethoven's Sonata Path-
tique, " eber-Tausie's "Invitation to
the Dance, Chopin's Barcarolle. Va!sc
and Schcrzo aud three Of his own COM
Positions: Etude Tableau, Op. SO.
"Daises' and Prelude in r fiat major
Unfortunately he was less generous
with his own works than his com
patriot.
From beginning to end Rachmani-
noif's performance was rare treat
Seldom is music for the pianoforte so
eloquently interpreted, seldom is a
superb technique SO ncbly dedicated to
its true purpose, a medium for ex-
preston. As played by him every
piece on the program left an ndelible
impression. The gayety displayed in
the lighter pieces, The Invitation to the
Dance and Chopin's Nalso, for exam
pic. was as convincing as the solemnity
o. graver numbers was impressive. Al
though Rachmaninon was generous
with encores, the large audience left
the hall unwillngly and mingled with
much agreeable food for reflection was
the pleasurablc anticipation of his next
appearance
