CONCERT
| BY SYMPTOM

The most outstanding feature q
glance at the evening program for
radiotics develops today is that
WEAF is keeping all its sweetness
to itself and isn't wasting any OF
it on the desert air OF its affiliated
stations. This may happen ire
quently-but 1t is the first evening
I've noted it.
/ There s another distinctive fea-
! ture to the program this evening
the final concert of the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra to find its
way through the nlicrophones OF
WRC! This would be g real loss 10
/ the listeners OF WRC IL they had
been able to listen to these con-
certs during July and August as
WIZ promised they would.
However-the two complete pro-
grams and the fragments Of other
programs the temperamental trans
mission of the Radio Corporation OF
| America has permitted TO come
| WRC-ward, have made very deep
i impression on the audience, and the
/ fact that the concert tonight IS the
last scheduled for broadcast in
washington is q matter Of much re-
gret.
BORODINE AND
BRAHMS IN CONTRAST
The orchestra tonight viii give a
program Of very sharp contrasts,
for students of music or casual
listeners who are interested IN such
things. Opening with the overture
to Rossini's civilian Tell''-which
is fairly well manhandled before
microphones about once q week by
bands and small orchestras until Il
is llackneyed, the music takes
Jump to the ultra modern with two
movements OF Goldmark's Rustic
Wedding" symphony.
While In the modern train OF
thought the orchestra will play the
dances Polovtsian from Boro-
dimes opera. Prince Igor. This
Is likely to be the most interesting
number OF the program. Borodine
was q brilliant exponent OF the Rus
sian school and the dances that are
to be played are supposed to be the
dances of the primitive peoples OF
Polotsi, q savage tribe with an
origin something like that OF the
Turk. The program closes with
Brahms Fourth Symphony--th last
symphony Brahms wrote and princi-
pally interesting for that reason.
rAlIGI sLIt6E byAA4pAAOAAJ NOAAS~1AS ~ -

Fargo, y. d.. Sept. ll.-LR- Billy

immediately after the contest Jack
Hurley wired the stadium promoters
that Petrolle would fill the date.
To Take Weeks Rest
Petrolle's bride of less than two
months arrived in Fargo today from
Duluth, and Billy will spend week
resting before starting to get in con-
diti0n for the bout with the heavy
puncher from Detroit. Mich.
Simmons was no match for the rug
Eed Express. The Englishman fought
gamely, taking a severe pummeling
about the body and head. but he was
unable to deal out enough punishment
to even slow up the Fargo fighter.
Pctr0lle won nine rounds and the
fifth. Simmons best effort, was even.
Nearly Puts Over X. q
Petrolle had Simmons on the verge
Of . knockout three times. Near the
end Of the third Petrolle's ceaseless
body. attack had Simmons knees

himself by fighting back determined

stiff ~leftseto the body and terrific
left hook to the chin to floor SIM
mons for count Of nine, marking
the first time in l60 battles that the
Britain champion had ever been down
for u count. Again in the seventh
Simmons went to the floor for a
count. but no particular punch set
him down. It was just steady rain
Of rights and lefts.
The largest crowd ever assembled
in North Dakota for boxing show
packed the Fargo auditorium to its
capacity.

BRAVESOFFER
REAL THREAT
IN TITLE RACE
National League Tail-enders
Take Leaders Into Camp
Friday, IL to 3

The Boston Braves. who knocked
the New York Giants out Of the Ma
tional league pennant in the closing
stages of The 1926 baseball season,
threaten to treat st. Louis likewise
in the present scramble. The Cards
lead today is but two and a half
games with Cincinnati still second
and Pittsburgh third, three points
apart.
The Braves, languishing at the tail
end OF the circuit, were directly re-
sponsiblc yesterday for the Cards
half game loss to the Cincinnati
Reds and the Pirates, who spent the
day in IA futile effort to solve the
second place problem decisivcly. The
Braves smote st. Louis Justify, II to
3. while Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
won games from each other by the
same score, to 2.
The threat the Braves offer to the
three .eontcnders can hardly be mini
mixed as all three leaders must meet
them shortly.
