sing Sing WARDEN FINDS
BRINDELL OUTSIDE WALLS
Former labor Gar Now Faces Trial
and Possible Loss OF His Good
Behavior Credits.

ossining. n. Y. May 2s.-Robert
l.. Brindell, former head OF the New
York building trades council and
known for years rs the city's labor
car, faced trial in Sing Sing prison
today and the possible loss OF his
good behavior and other credits as a
result OF his violation OF prison rules,
discovered yesterday when he was
surprised In conference with his
wife. daughter and son outside the
institution walls.
Officials here and In New York city
are investigating rumors that Brin-
dell in the past several weeks has had
secret conferences with New York la
hor leaders which affected the pres
ent tangled construction situation In
that city. Various prison officials
have been drawn into the investiga-
ton in the belief that they aided
Brindell. who is serving a five year
sentence for graft and extortion, in
meeting members of his family and
former business associates outside the
prison walls.
Warden Lawes, who had frequently
denied reports that the former labor
leader was holding secret meetings
outside the prison, was the one who
surprised him at his meeting with his
family. He found the quartet in a
reservoir house on the prison prop
erty but outside the walls. A keeper
in whose charge Brindell had been
permitted to leave the jail has been
suspended and will be tried.

ing such as actors, writers and car
toonists and can play golf all day
every week day, why the last IL Of
Sept. and the entire months of Oct.
and Nov. presents a problem which
has been puzzling golfers in great
many countries and states and has
only been solved in comparatively few
places, namely the problem of what to
use for caddies when all the boys be-
tween the age of and 16 yrs. OF age
is tending school.
Personly this problem has bothered
me a'whole lot as they's only one thing
l hate worst than work and that rs
carrying my own clubs around a golf
course. A yr. ago tried to have a
law past in n. Y. state providing that
a boy who had showed talent as a
caddy would not half to 60 to school
at all or at lease would be obliged 10
go to school only at night when his
services was not required as a caddy.

tied to the gopher's tail which slows
him up to such extent the players is
able to keep up with him by walking
at a ordinary rate of speed even
though the gopher is trying his best to
oyertakc what he imagines to be a
all-day sucker.
As in the case Of the CRATES. the
gopher, at the end of the match, IS
presented with a real all-day sucker
which seems to recompense him for IL
holes of disappointments.
On Water Holes.
Great success in learning elephants
to caddy has been obtained in states
like Connecticut and Oklahoma. The
advantage of elephant is that one
of them can caddy for whole four
some as they can carry two golf bags
OF each tusk. The golf balls must be
tinted green in imitation of cooking
apples or else lightish tan to look
like jumbo peanuts, otherwise the
pachydern will ignore them. Low
scoring has became habit in the p
states mentioned owing to the fact
that by the time a elephant has hunt
ed in the rough for your ball few
minutes, the grass is so trampled
down that you can get out with putt
ter.
On the 1000 islands golf course
where practically every hole is water
hole, the most of the cadding dur-|
ing school days is being tended to Dy
cranes and porpoises.
When the ball has sung under water
the crane dives for it and tries to
swallow it but the ball sticks in the
cranes throat. Mean vile you row
up to the spot in hired boat and
dislodge the ball from the craneo|
throat by slapping him on the back.
The ball is then teed up on the por-
roise for the next shot and his crane
replaces all divots.
Those is few of the localities
where beasts of burden and birds OF
prey are doing the work of boys AMI
doing it well and oil as can say in
conclusion is that the human caddies
would better take matters into there
own, hands and defy the truant Off
Ger or the next thing they know all
the cadding the .yr. around will be in
the hands of zebras, monkeys and the
like and our boys will grow into
manhood without IL the education
that can be gained by hanging around
golf course and keeping there ears
open.

about that time a new hotel clerk
arrived from the city with an accord
iop and left us mandolin players high
and dry. How we hated that fellow.
There is something about a fellow
who plays the piano the girls like.
They cluster about him. fix his tie,
and pick fluff off his shoulder. He
seems to wear a halo of romance. 1t
might be-and often is-the only thing
he. can do. but he manages to have
a dinner suit and be invited every
where.
I'm not knocking the music-by-mail
idea. There may be th'se who can
master it in this fashion but I'm not
one of them. 1t was rather discon-
certing to be at the daily practice
Just as a bell boy at my hotel came
to- deliver n package. I did two

said it was rather good.

tufed and I gave over the piano stool

piano hum. He had never raken n
music lesson in his life and played
entirely by ear.
He even did some Of those pieces
where you cross your hands and run
few scales by ripping process with
the index finger. If he had been a
good strong boy I would have given
him the piano TO carry away with him.
Snecring At Successful.

a'.real fat man who plays the piano

rsngey and have to stand twice "a

fingers are podgy you can't reach tht

piekpocket. If / can't learn to play

out with the saloon. Today they
take their cue from Paderewski-
wear flowing locks, flowing ties and
handkerchiefs in their cuffs. They
seem poised far above mundane
things and go in for atmosphere.
The juvenile phenoms wear Lord
Fauntleroy suits and are as carefully
guarded SIS a dauphin. When the
seeds of genius were planted they APP
pear to have garnered the entire
crop.
In one of the great concert halls
not long % the pianist was render
ing one Of those intricate pieces. A
woman in the balcony happened to
cough. He stopped, snapped into a
spell OF hysteria and went shrieking
into the wings and it took several
doctors TO bring him around to his
normal self. OF course. it was all
right. After all. there are tricks in
all trades but you cannot help but
think the lad lived for years in a
tenement flat on the level with the
elevated railroad where you have TO
close the windows to carry an orGin-
airy conversation.
And then for one suppressed little
enough cough TO upset him so. Well,
it is daubing it on bit thick.
SaxaphoniSts To Fore.
Girls who have to be coaxed to
play the piano are a nuisance. After
persuading them you generally find
they have brought their music along
and expected to play anyway and
would have been hurt il they hadn't
been asked.
just now the saxophone business
is putting crimp in the popularity
of the pianist. The fellow who can
play saxaphone has the edge
especially in New York.
And while l started talking about
pianos there is no reason why a few
paragraphs may not be devoted TO
the saxophone. There is, in the
metropolis, an army of 10000 saxo-
phone players.
Every boy going TO college now
equips himself with one. Even old
men, daunted by the chill indifference
that comes with years, are learning
to give forth the moaning arias.
And young girls carry them in
stead of the IKE. You can stir up
duplicate OF the Six Brown Broth
ers in almost any gathering. In one
night cafe there is a sign: patrons
are not permitted to bring saxophones
to the table"
Cake eaters are being referred to
as sax hounds" And they must be
seen and heard TO be appreciated.

I remember in the DAYS when
"Over the Rhine in Cincinnati was
flourishing row of beer concert
! halls the piano player was quite a
fellow. " he looked over at your
table and bowed a greeting you got
about the same reaction that some
people get when Belasco greets them
in the lobby.
Easy to Meet.
The beer hall pianist seemed to
us in those days as a parsonage.
When the girl with the pale taffy
hair sang her sentimental songs she
had a way OF flashing him a smile
that rather made you envious. And
the cross talk comedians with green
whiskers would speak to him familiar
" as Eddie or Jimmie. Still. at
that. he was democratic and easy to
meet. The offer to buy him a beer
made him your friend.
But that type of pianist passed
