 The last number on the program Mrs. DI dley gave with exquisite fin ish and her performance charmed the cultured audience, which filled the three large salons.
 Mrs. Dudley's rendering of the two Chopin preludes and Liszt's Lieee- straum proved that her capacity was not limited to one style of work. A most noticeable fact was her en- tire performance was given with ap- parent ease and dignity.
 Mrs. Dudley entered the Academy of Music in the primary department and is now a member of Miss Row leys artistic class and one of the as sistant teachers.
 She was most ably assisted by MT Earle Stapleton, baritone. who has recently returned from New Hork and is locating in Birmingham He possesses a beautiful voice, which was heard at it's best Tuesday eve ning While all of his nl mbers were enioved. he received extra applause for his dramatic rendition of NThe Pipes of Gordons Men,"

M'GRAW WANTS A PITCHER
Giants S Not Satisfied With His
Present staff.

Despite the fact that the New York
National pitchers looked pretty good
against the Yankees John McGraw is
far from satisfied with his pitching
staff
"lf I am to win a pennant again next
season | must yet at least one more
crack pitcher" is the way McGraw
views the outlook
Don't judge the merits Of the
Giants pitching on the showing against
the Yankees" is the way a weI-known
National league player appraises Nc
Graw's pitching staff.
THE Yankees as they faced the
Giants were about the worst team in
the American league Most any kind
of pitching would have stopped them.
1.-THE critics said Scott had great
speed, but amy player who watched his
game viii tell you chat his speed was
Just $3.50. Ordinarily. the Yankees
would have murdered IL. McGraw can't
bank too strongly on him. Really,
Nehf IS the only certainty.
"Tbat staff of McGraw's may look
great against the Yankees, hut 1t isn't
going 20 make much Roadway in the
National league. McGraw really needs
two seasoned veterans unless some of
his Youngsters come through In great
style" concluded the veteran star.
