Among the very pleasant features
Of Music Week that have uniolGed SO
far is tie general spirit of co-oprra-
tiontion shown with the aims and pur-
poses Of the celebration.
1t is seldom that the Masonic Tenn
pie is thrown open to the public, but
in honor of Music Week a special
concession was made, and on Monday
at noon a rare opportunity was given
the musiclovers of the city lot hear
the musiclovers of the city to hear
played for an hour to an audience
that was composed largely of people
seldom seen at concerts-among them
many business men. The program
was excellently chosen, the numbers
that gave the greatest pleasure being
the famous Handel Largo" and the
"Andante Cantabile" by Tschaikow-
ski. The temple organ is one of the
best in San Antonio and Mr.. Dun
hams playing was much enjoyed.
J. NJ. Steinfcldt's piano recital at
the st. Anthony, at O'Clock drew a
large number. His program began
with the beautiful Beethoven Sonata,
OPP. 81, No. /, which is so widely
known and loved, and ended with two
brilliant Moszkowsk numbers - the
waltz in L Major and the vivid Taran-
tella. Greatest interest attached to
Mr.. Steinfeldt's playing of his own
compositions, of which six were listed
on the program. Every musician III
San Antonio is familiar with these
graceful and charming numbers of
Mr.. Steinnfeldt. but they are. so sat
isfying that they gain in interest
with every hearing.
Among these, AN Evening in Ven
ice" 1.-THE Fountain" "Serenade"
and a "Scherzo in Il Flat Major"
are particularly melodious and color
full.

contribution TO the Music Week cele-
bratiOn. DIR. Spacth chose for his
subject, Behind the Scenes at the
Opera" and gave an excellent picture
of the huge business venture which
is known TO the public as the Metro
politan Opera House. His long ex-
perience as "supe," extra chorus man.
newspaper man, critic and friend OF
many of the best known singers and
workers in and about the MetrOpoli-
tan, gave him first-hand knowledge OF
many things that the audience who
sees only the finished production of
opera never suspects. He spoke of the
popular tradition that hair-pulling"
prima-donnas and wild jealousies
were the usual experience bacl: of the
scenes, but that as n matter of fact.
it was mostly hard wOrk-c0nstant

in groups-with marvclOusly perfect
system of business management, that
would do credit. to the most purely
commercial enterprise in the world.
An interesting contrast was drawn be
tween Farrar and Mary Garden as
the two greatest singing actors of the
day. Farrar. he said, is an artist who
is consciously constructed. who is car
rying out definite plan in every
thing she docs. while Garden is a
great instructive genius who is never
twice alike, but who has the gift of
making every move interesting. He
insists that Gardens voice has been

really MeZO instead of a soprano.
which accounts for her success in
Carmen"
Jcritza, he says, is more like Gar

far more beautiful voice and more
impressive personality. Chaliapine. he

of them all, with n marvellous voice
and an absorbing personality.

In a game which was featured mostly for the roushness of play, the New Haven Blues yesterday baitlea the All-New Britain eleven to score less tie at Hoffman's Field, Numerous substitutions were necessary on eoth teams because of injuries. and a mum Der Of penalties were imposed Tor rough play. each team offending fre- quently.

 It was a hig crowd that line the held and f,iied the bieaehers to watch yes terday's game. hut 1t was not until tho final two minutes of play that there was Any exciting activity. At that ume the All-New Britain's. with Carpenter at quarterback. Hickey and Hammil at half back positions and Babeoek al fullback, began late rally and in n series of plunges made a rapid ad- vance down the field but the whistle cut short tho play, with the ball m midfcld.
 Use Three Quarters
 Yesterdays game brought out for Coach Dunn's attention many minor faults of the team and one glaring one --the lack Of familiarity with the sig nais. In this all players were at fault, The backs didn't know at all times what the plays were to be and the line- men were equally upset. At one time the play called was punt. but Barni- Row mistook it and hurled forward pass. New Britain ilscd three quar- terbacks in an effort to block their great weakness. Carpenter started the game and was then replaced by Dixie Griffin. Dixie was at q disadvantage and was ignorant of many of the sig nals, so he was yanked and Kopolo- witz was given chance. He started off brilliantly, but after the second play had to retire with wrenched leg. Carpenter went back in and finish cd the game strongly. In the line Hunt was tower of strength and at the end positions Capt. Conley and Se- gretta played gilt edged football. Rogers also cared for his position in fine style. On the defense, New Britain was "thcre," but was woefully weak on the offense, but this fault can be overcome if the boys will only put their nose to the grindstone and learn the signals Undoubtedly Dave Dunn will have few pertinent things to say when he meets them for practice this week.

STAFF MAY
 RE THE BIG FACTOR
World Series May Be Decided by
 the TWirlerS

New York, Oct. S.-In their fhird attempt to win the worlds oasepai' championship the New York Yankees will be aided by & stan of pitchers rated second to none in either ot the major leagues.
 Herbert J. Pennock, lefthander, Samuel Pond Jones, highlander ana I. Robert Shawkey, righthander, have been the Yankees three best bets on the hurling mound. Waite Hoyt has had A good season, finishing well uI on the winning side and Leslie Joseph Bush. while cratic at times, won a majority of his games. Carl Mays the underhand finger, was not up 'e his best form and had little to do. It is unlikely that Mays will De started in the series, and it is prop- able that Bush, the fork-ball man may be used only in emergency. Pen | mock, Jones, Shawkey and Hoyt ap- rear as likely mainstays and may work in that order.
 An interesting sidelight in connec- tion with the Yankee hurling corps is that every one of them first emerged to the limelight of stardom with the Boston Red Sox or the Philadelphia Athletics.
 Pennock, who led the American league pitchers through the 1923 sea son, became member Of Conme Mack's Athletics in 1912 and remained with the team until 1915 when ne | went to the Red sox. He was ac- ouired by the Yankees from the Bos, ton club in trade last spring in ex' change for several youngsters Jones, called Sad san," played with Cleveland in 1914 and 1915 bu' 1916 found him with the Red Sox where he remained until 1921. The Yankee tradesmen were busy again that year and Sad Sam" became 2 1 New Yorker. He wasn't at his pes' in 1922, but 1923 brought him back to the top and he has done every thing in the pitching line, including no hit game against the Athletics ane some others almost as good. Shawkey was a member of the Attn letics from 1918 to 1915. He came to the Yankees in 1915 when Colonel: Ruppert and Huston began building up their star combination and ha! been a regular ever since. His pitch ing arm worked exceptionally vel this year.
 Hoyt was taken fresh from higf school in Brooklyn in 1918 and made a New York Giant. He warmed benches for McGraw and became l Red Sox in 1919. In 1921 he donnec a. Yankee uniform and was one of the stars of the season. He owon tw
 games and lost a close one in th' stars of the season. He won two less of an in-and-ou last year bu
 regained some of his great form il 1923.
 Bush, a Mackman from 1912 tt
 1917 and Red Stocking from 1911 to 1921, became a Yankee in 1922 il another New York Boston trade. H'
