What are the most impor-
tant requisites for an out
fielder?
Answered nv
GEORGE BURNS

GEORGE BURNS
Outhe,der, worlds Champion New
York Giants, who has the reputation Of
making more dimcult catches than any
other fielder in either league.
A strong arm, coupled with speed.
and an ability to judge fly balls are
the Outtielder's three important
requisites. Without them he can
hardly hope for success. No mat
ter how heavy 4 hitter the outfielder
may be. if he hasn't these three
qualities he will not be looked upon
as a good ball player in this position.

aerie is being asked TO bring in one or
two new members for the class and
it is believed that there will be in the
neighborhood of 1900 to take the work
of the order at that time.
Final plans for the annual dance OF
the order have been completed. The
dance is to be held in the ball room
of the Gunter on the night OF Febru-
airy Z, and tickets for the dance have
been on sale for some time. While
there are many dances held in the
Eagles hall, the Eagles themselves give
only one dance a year. That is their
annual dance held in the ball room
of the Gunter, and the occasion Is
looked forward to not only by the
Eagles of San Antonio, but of the towns
of the surrounding towns as well.
At the first meeting after the dance
the meeting date of the State Grand
Aerie will be determined. The aerie
here is entitled to fifteen accredited
delegates and they are to be sent with
the instructions to devote most of their
time to boosting the old age pension.
This idea originated at the last Ma
tional Grand Aerie, and one of the
national officers will attend the state
meet for the purpose of presenting the
proposition.

ing 1909 and 1910. He also served
at Fort Clark and at Fort Bliss, Tex.
The greater part Of Mr.. Wits life
in the army was spent as leader OF
the Twenty-eighth Infantry band. He
was appointed master of this regimcntal
band by Maj. Gen. X. l.. Billiard, who
at that time was major in the
Twenty-eighth Infantry. Brig. Gen.
Morris C. Footc, after hearing the
fegimental band of the Twenty-eighth
Infantry play on several occasions said
in 1908 that Mr.. Witt had made the
Twenty eighth Infantry band one Of
the best, if not the best, that it had
ever been his pleasure to hear.
During the early part of 1922 Mr..
Witt wrote a personal letter to Cen
eral Pershing explaining to him the
conditions under which the Kelly Field
band was then working, and asked the
general il some provision could not be
made by which an official band would
be authorized. Some of the higher
ups at the field winked at the act and
expected the band leader to get a
reprimand in reply, but the following
is a part of the letter Mr.. Witt soon
received from the general Of the armies
and signed by him:
Your interesting Letter regarding
your improvised band and orchestra
at Kelly Field has been received. "nd
what you say regarding a band for the
Air Service will be kept III m,Lu. d.
am sorry not to have heard your new
organization play our old Zamboanga
air when in San Antonio the last time,
and your desire to render it for me
is much appreciated"
After retiring from the service in
1918 Mr.. Witt worked at Fort Sam

messenger for the Southern Depart
ment headquarters at the quadrangle,
and there again served under General

The only completely organized and
trained band in the army Air Service
is at Kelly Field. The Kelly Field
band not only holds this distinction
but also that of being the only volun-
teer band in the United States army.

army band leader, is employed on
civilian status as band leader, and not
a single member of the 26 men in
the band are required by order TO serve
there, They are now relieved from

is the Kelly Field orchestra, which
has the same two distinctions as the
larger organization from which it grew.
There are ten men in the orchestra,
and il has reached the point Of per-

Field dances for officers as well as
enlisted men. ,
The Kelly Field band was organized
! two years ago, at which time only two
| of its members knew any music. Since
that time. under the training of It's
leader it has learned to play concerts,
and also plays at all special occasions
at the flying field. The band has also,
! by special request, played on several
occasions in San Antonio. Lights have
recently been installed in hangar Il,
at Kelly Field. in preparation for
regular weekly band concerts that are
coon TO begin.
Mr.. Witt, the band leader, is a re-
tired soldier and has seen both foreign
and home service as band leader In
the army. Coming to the United States
in 1882 from Strasen, in the province
Of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, Germany, he
enlisted in the army and served con-
tinually until he retired in 1913. He
