SpUDDER GANG
First Place In Texas
League Is Battle
Ground of Houston
And Wichita Falls
tBy THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The battle for first place in the
Texas league between the Houston
Bluffs and the Wichita Falls Spud-
ders continues apace. After a days
absence from il, the Spudders jump
ed back into first position Tuesday
when they defeated the Bluffs, 8 70
s, and won the last game and their
only one of the three-game series.
The Spudders started things N
the first inning by getting " runs
and built up a substantial lead by
a~nnexing two more in the fourth,
while Cvengros twirled excellent
ball and kept the Bluffs from scoring
during the first three frames. The
Houston sluggers got busy in the
fourth, however, picked up a run IN
that inning and another in the fifth,
and drove Cvcngros from the mound
in the seventh. Rushed into the
fray, Steengrafe silenced the Buff
guns. save in the ninth, when ne
yielded one run.
Continuing their winning streak
that. has reached three games, the
Fort Worth Panthers COPIED a
freakish contest from the Beaumont
Exporters, 3 to 2. Both teams scored
all their runs in the first inning.
but after Ruel Love had been re-
lieved in that frame by Ad Holz-
hauser for Beaumont. and Denny
Burns seemed to get his bearings.
ths game was comparatively well
played.
By rallying for five runs in the
eighth inning, the San Antonio
Bears took a game featured by
hard hitting all around from the
Shreveport Sports by a 10 to 5 score.
The Sports started like a house afire
in the first frame when they count
ed twice, but found Hinkle and Watt
hard to hit thereafter. The Bears
started in the third with four runs,
and sexed things up with their
eighth frame scoring orgy.
A late-inning rally likewise won
for the Dallas Steers over the Waco
Cubs, z TO g.. Entering the ninth a
u behind, the Steers won the game
when Mulvey's single scored Cling
lardi and Morse, the former OF
whom had walked and the latter of
whom had gotten on base through a
muff of his grcunder.

RESUME MUSIC
RADIO COURSES
Famed Conductor to Give
48 Concerts to Teach
] School Children.

= Details of the plan by which he
hopes to bring symphonic music to
the school children of the United
States have been worked out by
Walter Damrosch, musical counselor
of the National BroadcaSting Com
pany, it was announced today.
For six weeks Damrosch has been
working out the details of the plan
at his summer home in Bar Harbor,
Maine. He is to broadcast forty
eight concerts, beginning Oct. 26,
through arrangement with the Ra-
dio Corporation of America and
over the National Broadcasting
Company system.
The concerts are to be in four
series, graded according to the men

Ing people from the third grade
Wough high school and college.
I'm developing my plans Tor these
concerts I am following the identi-
cal system which I used during my
thirty years of children's. concerts
at Carnegie Hail." Dr. Damrosch
explained in an interview. First
I shall introduce the children to
my musical family-the orchestra.
"They will learn to recognize the
various instruments, to distinguish
the sound of the piccolo from that
of the flute, the trumpet from the
horn, the viola from the violin. I
shall explain to them what there is
about the music Of an oboe that
makes composer write sad pas
Sages for this instrument, why the
music for the flute is usually light
and gay, why the trombone is used
for solemn effects, the trumpet for
war and conflict"
"The programs for the concerts
are arranged. They are made up
entirely of the works of the great
masters. have graded them care
fully to suit the mental and emo
tional development Of the children
who will hear them"

BIZ UNiteu Press
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Sept. IT,
When the recent tornado devastated
the surrounding country and then
broke as it neared Sioux City, old
timers recalled a prophecy made
many years ago when Sioux City
was but a trading post. An old In
dian said that a tornado never
would strike the town on account
Of the rivers.
And the prophecy was fulfilled
last week.
Sweeping out of the southwest,
after dealing death and destruction
the tornado headed for Sioux City.
All that was between the town and
destruction was the "Old Muddy"
On it came, a great, black, funnel
shaped cloud. Suddenly it lifted,
as if blown by a great draft of air.
The lower part of it broke off and
the town was saved.
