Those who were not in the audi
ence at the Symphony concert given
| by the New York Philharmonic musi-
clans under the leadership Of Profess
sor William r. Chapman at City
Hall, Sunday afternoon, missed one
| of the years most popular and
worthwhile musical treats.
Sitting in the midst of the audience
one could not but feel the power
which the musical numbers cast over
! the listeners, which was many times
manifest by the moments of deep ST.
lence followed closely by profound
! applause at the conclusion of many
of the renditions.
| Professor Chapman directed with
| his usual ease and sureness of man
ner. His many years of musical d.
| rectorship have given him marked
! ability and the power to infuse into
his players the gift of inspiring their
audience with the true worth and
soulfullness Of music.
/ Many out of town music lovers
were scattered throughout the audi
! ence.
Henri Marcoux of Watelwille, won
at once the esteem of his listeners by
| the volume and wide range of his
! smooth and mellow baritone voice.
! There was great richness and appeal
| in his singing of Massenet, Prom
! esse de mon Avenir," and in his rem
dering of the encore, "Crucifixtion."
/ he held his audience as in a spell,
| the stiffness of which was not broken
until space after the last notes had
died away.

I'VE hit today behind wonderful
pitching" said Manager Hornsby.
You can't beat that combination"
To-day was vastly different from
yesterday. We f1elded well enough
then and got good pitching but didn't
hit. Today everything was right.
IT'S not necessary for me to call
attention to Alexanders pitching. Ev-
cry one of those $4,000 people must
have known that they were looking at
great pitching. 1t was smart pitching
too, for Alexander knew just where
the ball was going. OF course, South
worth's home run didn't do us any
harm.
Il am not sure who will work the
opening game ct home for us. 1t will
be Reinhard or Haines as I see 1t now"
Manager Higgins was quick to
praise the skill and cunning of the vet
eran Alexander.
Alexander pitched a remarkable
game" said the Yankee manager, land
Of course he deserved to win. We
couldn't get to him, and when you
don't hit you can't expect to make
runs.
Il am undecided tonight about my
pitching selection for the opening
game at st. Louis. 1 think now it's
choice between Ruether and Hoyt."
Babe Ruth was complaining after
the game that he could not find the
ball Thevenow drove into his territory
for a home run in the ninth.

Just missed making the catch" said
the Babe, Il couldn't locate the ball
and no one would tell where it was"
The great slugger was complaining
also that he could have caught South
worth's drive in the seventh, the home
run that put the game on ice for the
Cards, if the bleachers had not been in
the way.
IT was right after that ball but the
best L could do was get within about
a foot of it," said Ruth, who is him

Ing in transportation cost would ac-
tually pay for the capital outlay in
from four to six years. The differ
ence between the cost of operation on
a gravel road and paved road
would pay for the difference In the
cost of construction in three years.
Commenting on the studies, Thos.
P. Henry, president Of the American
Automobile Association. said:
'In the past, arguments for I'M
proved roads have been mainly
based on the desirability of such a
system and the satisfaction, con-
venience and pleasure to be derived
from having roads in any community.
"As the pioneer of good roads the
A. A. A. stressed these other phases,
such as the Importance of eliminat-
ing isolation from country life. the
Importance of keeping the farm to
market road always open and the
general Improvement In living con-
ditions resulting from good roads.
These studies enable US to see
much further and to realize the ex-
tent to which good roads are In
themselves an economy. They ac-
tually yield high dividend and pay
for themselves In limited term of
years, where traffic Is even moder-
ately heavy.
"Tf the average motorist is not
