LEAGUE PITCHERS ~

Cincinnati, Aug. 11.-Winning one
ball game day is regarded as a
pretty fair performance in, these days
of the lively ball. To take down a
double-header is performing the un-
Usual.
Twice this season has the feat been
turned in the National League. John
Stuart, a rookie pitcher of the St.
Louis Cardinals was the first twirler
to win a double-head He was
closely followed BY Adolfo Luquc Of
the Cincinnati Reds.
Stuart, who is product of Ohio
State University, broke into the
games won column with bang. He
merely used to finish games, but
scarcity Of pitchers caused Manager
Hickey to start him against the Bos-
ton Braves. He won, allowing only
three hits. Hickey sent him right
back for the second contest and he
repeated.
It's been over six years since b

in one day. The "fggerx" show that

One of the most unusual music pro-

many months was the explanatory re-

pianist, specialist in ultra modern
music. in the ballroom of the Hotel
Powhatan before delegates to the mu-

noon.
The program was listed as What
Next in MuSic?' or IAN Anatomy of
Modernism" and included compost
tons as futuristic in the world of
music as the vers libre ITO a Purple

odd sensations aroused by much of
this music as indicating the fact that
the musicians seemed to be walking
into the future Backward and sug-
gested that as the general public
cannot grow new ears as easily as a
lobster grows new claws. the price
to be paid for keeping up with the
times musically is a heavy one. She
