HITS POCKETBOOk
 FOR DISCIPLINE
International League Has Its
 Own Methods

New York. July 30 CPo - John Conway Toole, president of the h. ternationaI league, is one of base balls keenest strategists. But this strategy is directed toward disci- pline rather than baseball technique.
 Believing that suspensions are not an effective measure against ob- players, Toole has conceiv- ed a fine system which is as unique as it is effective.
 Since 1921, when he took office as president of the circuit, Toole has made a practice of striking directly at the pocketbook when in search of results to curb unbecoming con-, duet on the baseball diamond.
 On Probation
 When a player strays from the path of righteousness on the field, President Toole retaliates with a fine which is commensurate with the offense and immediately puts the player on probation.
 In most cases, he notifies the player that the fine will be returned at the close of the season if the players conduct is beyond reproach during the remainder of the sched- ule.
 T don't bind myself 10 this agree ment," said the president, but l suggest that the money may be re- turned at the close of the season if the players conduct warrants such action.
 Then when the season is over player writes in to call my atten- tion to his conduct and asks for his rebate. If no more black marks have been challled up against him, I return his money.
 Suspensions Not Approved
 Many times I don't insist the money be paid but hold a potential fine over the players head to keep him going straight, This is never collected if a player evades trouble during the rest of the season.
 "Of course, many times it is nec- essary to collect and hold fines on players who insist on arguing with the umpires but usually the thought of a rebate is enough to keep the player out Of trouble.
 Suspensions are bad for both the player and the club. They rob the player of his livelihood and the club of the players services. I find our fine system with it's rebate clause effective in ninc cases out of ten"

Any of the devotees OF the true
spirit of music who have the OBJ
session the cello only. can express
the pleading and reverence Schu-
bert put into his Ave Maria
should : hear Frieda Hempel sing
1t as she did into the microphone
Of wEAF last night during the At
water Kent music hour. Seldom
is the real meaning of q musicaI
composition made so surely to
yibrate the hearts of many thou
sands of listeners as did this one
big moment of the Hempei pro-
gram last night.
During her hour of song. with
an almost perfect soprano voice,
the singer did not come near 1t
agafn-not even when she sang
with pathos seldom heard,
Home, Sweet Home" as an encore.
And il is OF Ave Maria that her
first radio audience viii have last
inx memory OF her performance
Emo Balough proved himself to
be greater as an accompanies TO
Nine. Hempel and her flaHttst,
Louis p. Fritze, than as a soloist.
sAfARTHA" GIVES GOOD
ACCOUNT OF HERSELF
Distinctive in the loud speaker last
evening were two other performers
In addition to the grand opera star.
These were the spirit and go Of
David MenIozass string quartet in
the Capitol of wEAF hour and the
performance Of fNartha" by the
Bakelite songsters from VIZ.
The Mendoza performance w4s a
complete and most satisfying sur
prise to the popular leaders admir-
eFs who seldom think Of him as a
vioiintst in their enjoyment Of his
ability as an orchestral director. He
and his companions played two num-
hers with such vivid musical spirit
az to almost make one believe there
can be something done with chamber
music organizations, after all
The performance OF Martha" by
the Bakelites was an even bit Of sing
ing Of very high quality. Erva Giles
In the principle role was easily the
star or the evening. She sang The
Last Rose OF Summer" with ever,
more sense of its pensive value than
very dramatic character that doesn't
seem to belong.
WENDELL HALL
!. AGAIN SCORES
The red-headed music maker is
back home-and welcomes! From
the time Wendell Hall began his
program at wRc Saturday night
until he closed with a paraphrase
of his own song, TT Amt Coin to
Rain No More''-the telephones of
the station were busy conveying
congratuIations and requests. In
the language Of yaudevilIe-hie re-
appearance was a wow OF the first
magnitude.
Halls feat of making it snow in
stead of rain in his last number is
a more or less interesting comment
on the fight regarding the copy
right laws now being waged. Mr..
Hall wrote the original song. But
! he was, not permitted 10 sing it at
WRC Saturday night because that
station is not one of those in the
favor OF the American Society OF
Authors. Composers and Publishers.
Saturday night outside programs
were fair. after the local stations
passed their program peaks. The
staff at WIS, Chicago, celebrated
4 second anniversary OF some kind.
with George Hay back on the an
nouncing end of the program. The
Hotel Commodore Orchestra gave
an excellent dinner concert and sta.

EX I RE MES 0 I
OPERA IN Mr.

An inquiring mind that need BE-
only casually musical can get mucn
food for reflective thought on ths
way Of grand opera by listening In
tonight and comparing what is
heard about '.Pagliacci." from
WCAP, and ..Rigoletto,'' from
WEAF--relayed by WCAP. These
two works represent Italian opera
of two extren1es-Of conception
and execution OF an idea in music
as well as OF development of opera.
One is music drama from the first
note Of the overture to the drop
of the curtain with a musical finale
that can be conceived az nothing
else. The other is italian opera
Of the flowery. conventional colora-
tura school.
A few days ago attention was
called to the n1elodramatic quality
of tPagIiacci'' and the fact that
lurid as it may seem, 1t is never.
fhelesss the story OF an actual
happening in practically every de.
tail. 'RigoIetto," also Of the most
vivid, yellow-bac novel, melodra-
| matte quality, was first well known
as q story Victor Hugo wrote Sor
the theater under the title of lie
Roi s'amuse'' and had quite q
vogue In America when played IN
der the title of THE Fools Re-
venge." 1t is typical of the form
al, conventional Italian opera
school and was composed by Verdi
in his earliest and pedantic manner.
QUARTET CONSIDERED
GREAT. MASTERPIECE
At that, it contains two of the
most popular numbers singers pre-
sent in concert--"Caro Nome" the
soprano number we all had comp.
ton fits about when Marian Talley
sang it q few weeks ago at the
Metropolitan Opera House and later
| for radio--and the quartet.
The quartet. by the way. 10 really
a remarkable musical achievement.
And is, by the same token, one or
the masterpiece bits OF Verdl
whole career. AS 1t is usuany
sung it is merely as musical plan
blah with dozen or more oiatent
! top notes. Actually 1t is one OF
the most descriptive and colorful
| moments of musical expression.
| There are four primary human
/ emotions depicted wildly by It,
love, hate fear and indifference.
Verdi built the most positive ana
vivid expression Of these four as
tinct ideas into the quartet. Listen
for it tonight and you'll get 1t.
The "Paglaicci'' opus is being
sketched by Mrs. Peggy Albion ana
some of the Washington Opera
| Company soloists as a foretaste OF
the production to be presented by
them at the Auditorium this week.
COFFEE GRINDERS TO
PLAY SOUTHERN TUNES
The coffee grinding entertainers
will devote the first part of their
WIZ program tonight, beginning at
8 o'clock, to melodies of the South.
The tunes will be done instrument
ally as solos and ensemble numbers.
Paul Althouse is to be the chief solo
| list of the Cincinnati Community Hour
| from WSAI, beginning at IL o'clock
and has arranged a special program
with orchestra and some excellent

For the benefit of those who can

and 9 o'clock. At 9 the A and p
