the stories of Risberg and Gandil as lies. Rowland even went so far as to call the accusation a damn lie," and Eddie Collins, shaking with emotion because his honesty had been ques- tioned, angrily shouted his denial, using even stronger language than Rowland did.
 30 Players Testified.
 During the two days of the hear ing approximately 30 players trooped to the witness chair, calling Risberg and Gandil liars and knocking down their story. Bill James, the pay off man. with the Tigers was the cool est of all witnesses in describing Gandil's reasons for giving him the money and how he distributed it to the players. He said the money was given to him in an envelope while he was in bar in the Aldine hotel in Philadelphia. and Gandil plainly had told him it was for beating Bos- ton. Risberg was with Gandil at the time, James testified.
 Previously before the White Sox- Tigers series was played, James tes- tified, Gandl had told him there would be s200 in it for any Detroit pitcher that beat Boston.
 Silent on Weaver.
 Commissioner Landis gave no hint of a decision on the appeal of Buck Weaver, former White Sox third baseman, banished from organized baseball because of the crooked worlds series between the White Soy and the Cincinnati Reds in 1919. Weaver. after testifying about the Detroit White Sox "sloughed" series, formally appealed to Landis for re- instatement.
 Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker, who have been pleading for vindication of charges that they fixed" De- roit-Cleveland game to clean up in a betting coup, also are anxious for a decision from Landis regarding their status. Their attorneys had planned to meet Landis last Satur- day, but the conference was put off pending today's decision. Now that it has been given baseball followers expect them to renew their cam paign for vindication.
 The Same Old Case.
 This is the same case that was tried by the commissioner six years ago." President Ban Johnson, of the American league, said when shown copy of the Landis decision.
 "These same players appeared be- fore the commissioner when he first was inducted into office and all were exonerated. This is just retrial on those same charges. At that time, Eddie Collins, Faber, Schalk and the rest of them were absolved from all wrong doing"

KACEYS DISCUSS NEW AUDITORIUM
May Build Hall Large Enough
 for Roller Polo

Possibility of a new auditorium in the southern section of the city which would be used for roller polo, basketball, boxing shows and danc ing was voiced at a meeting of the building committee of Daily Council, Knights Of Columbus, last evening.
 John E. Curtin, member of the firm of J. NJ. Curtin Co. on Main street and a prominent member of the committee, brought the subject be fore the committee.
 He urged that steps be taken im- mediately to bring about the con- struction of d large auditorium in the rear on the present building on Franklin square which would seat about 2,0o0. He pointed out that the property measures 300 feet long by 200 feet wide. It was pointed out that much revenue could be taken in if a floor for roller polo could be provided. At the present time, it was found, there is not a floor in the city which would be available for the game.
 After an enthusiastic discussion, the committee voted to take up the matter at a meeting on Tuesday evening, January c5 at which a large attendance of the society is expected. Some of the more promi- nent members will be invited to give their views on the matter at the meeting.
 The construction of the new build ing would assure the city q large hall in the north end where the new Y M. T.

BEETHOVEN WORKS
 AT CONCERT HERE
New Britain Musical Club 0b- serves Composers Centennial

Ludwig van Beethoven died 100 years ago-on March 26, 1927. This then, is centennial year for this Shakespeare of music" His com positions will be played in enormous profusion throughout the world dur ing the year. especially during the week of March 20 and 26. Homage to the memory of this great tone creator began in New Britain last night when the New Britain Musical club featured work for strings by this master at the public school con- cert held in the Nathan Hale Junior high school, Fremont street. The con- cert was given in conjunction with the Parents and Teachers association Of the school.
 The appetite of the audience was whetted considerably for Beethoven when a lecturer gave a short account Of hts life prior to he playing of Beethoven's second opus--a trio for violin, viola and cello. When the au- dience realized that the piece was from the pen of Beethoven when a mere youth-he could not have been more than 1T years of age when he wrote it-interest picked up great ly.
 It was not an insignificant, imma- ture work heard. however; the in dividuality of the great tonepoet was already quite evident, and no one could have suspected from the music itself that it wasn't written by a man of 60.
 The players were George Wester- man, violin; Ray Ostman of Plaln- vile, viola. and Miss Margaret w. Perkins, cello. As they wove the tender threads of tone repeated ap- plause interrupted the music. At every momentary pause the hearers gave vent to their admiration, both for the music and the exquisite man. ner in which the three performers played it.
 The audience filled the first floor of the auditorium and there was sprinkling of listeners in the gallery. It was one of the most successful school concerts in the history of the club.
 The program opened with three Schumann pieces, "Whims," Tn the Evening" and Dedication" played by Charles Johnson, who has stud- jed with Theron w. Hart for some years and is one of the local macs tros star pupils. MT. Johnson showed fine technic, insight and style, reflecting the varying moods in the three pieces with splendid fidelity.
 Mss Laura P. Farrell was warmly greeted when she gave two songs by Bischoff and Bartlett, Miss Fran ces P. Parker being at the piano. The songs, although of light melodious type. were given effec- lively and gained wide popular ap- proval.
 Miss Ruth Edna Schade. con- tralto, was heard in three art songs by Martin. Coleridge-Taylor and Clough-Leighter, prefacing them with descriptive remarks. Miss Lola N. Littlehales presided at the key board. These attained a splendid reception and were given with artls- tic insight. and the elaborate ac- compartments were ably projected
 The final appearance was that Of Miss Frances P. Parker in two piano solos. the fetching If I Were a Bird" by Henselt and "Gnomen- reigen" by Liszt. The delightful thread of melody in the former underlying cascades of broken chords, was finely brought out by the pianist, while in the Liszt piece the customary Lisztian velocity was ably handled.

New HenlOpen a Fine Hotel

The new Hotel Henlopen cost ap-
proximately $35O,0OO. The success Of
the venture is largely due to the 4'pub-
lie spiritedness' OF William Coyne, of
Wilmington, who advanced the neces-
sary funds to start the construction.
For many years the old Henlopen had
been a political and social center for
thousands of Delawareans, as we'll as
favorite stopping place for other
thousands from out of the State.
With this in view, the New Henlopen
has been designed and constructed to
carry on the traditions of the old, only
on a much larger, modern and elabor-
ate scale, filling a great need at the
resort, and to care for expansion for
many years to come. William a..
Young, a Delawarean, vice president
of the Henlopen Construction Com
pany, of which Thomas A. Haydock,
Jr., is president, designed and super
vised the building IF the new hotel
Unusual engineering skill was exer-
cised in the construction which was
designed to stand seven times the load
it could possibly be called upon to
bear. The walls are of concrete block
faced with red brick up to the third
floor. The Railways are also of CON
crete block and the partitions between
rooms are gypsum block The floors
are made Of fire-proof composition
and are strictly sanitary. Of the 200
guest rooms, more than one-half are
accessible to private baths and lava
tories. There is a modern self-level-
ing elevator serving all floors, includ
ing the roof, which has been designed
to permit its use as roof garden if
desired. Every known method Of pro
lection against fire hazards has been
employed in the construction of the
building.
