A S the Summer draws 10 It's
" close and Just before the
~ official announcements foi
the new season are made
public in complete detail, the
music news is as varied anc
amusing as the contrasting pat
terms OF an old-fashioned quilt
Sometimes the conglomeratior
more closely resembles that aptly
named article-the crazy quilt
Yet individually each item has a
measure Of interest for those who
like to keep up with the gossip OF
music folk as we'll as the newest
STYLES in contrapuntal combina-
tions-or what the musical folk
are singing and playing in the
season 1929.
Undoubtedly the lead among
them all within the past week has
been unanimously awarded to the
announcement Of the engage
ment TO Pierre Plesses Of Mary
Garden. Scotch prima donna, gem

American product. as she was
brought to this country by her
parents at the age of six years
and has made her fame and fo--

ROSTON has been according q
royal welcome recently %
John Philip Sousa. the march
king. as he is generally acclaimed,
Earlier this month Mr.. Sousa, who
is celebrating his 50th year as 4
conductor. held a jubilee week IN
Atlantic City. incidentally that
was the city where. some time ago
now. he found his bride. Mr..
Sousa, who is IA years old. has
won distinction not only with his
musical compositions. but also
with the programs given all over
the world by his unique organiZa-
ton, which has never been sub
sidized by any outside interest
and has become q definite institu-
ton.
Many Washingtonians may not
know that all this fame grew into
being as a result Of mere chance
given to a boy violinist in the old
Ford's Opera House, down near
Center Market in Washington. 1t
was this chance that gave John
Philip Sousa opportunity to flrSt
hold a conductors baton.
Mr.. Sousa has been quoted as
saying that items in the news
papers have provided him with
many inspirations for his famous
marches. He attributes more
than 20 of his 122 marches to such
inspiration. His recipe for find
ing and utilizing such information
successfully certainly sounds SIM
pie enough. He says:
That the American daily paper
should be the greatest inspiration
for the march composer Is quite
understandable The march is a
popular American musical form
and expression of the irresistible
progress of America recorded dag
bv day in the newspapers. For the
composer. the only trick lies in
the ability to distinguish between
the f1eeting. unimportanS things
of the day and the deen-rooted
happenings which are likely to
leave their impress upon history"

The worlds leading country In
music today is the United States
| The changed conditions which
give the United States the lead
over Europe in music and musical
affairs are the result of better
mediums for bringing music to
the people.
The first important factor was
the phonograph record. Now We
have the radio Both means have
been so widely used that practs-
cally every man. woman and child
has heard much music. Phono-
graphs and radios have not been
SO popular in Europe. so, despite
all tradition the people there
actually are not in such close
touch with music as the people
OF this country.
Nowhere in Europe is the gen.
eral appreciation of music 50
great that crowds numbering TO-
900 persons would pack an audi
torium as they do in San Fran
cisco night after night through
out the season or pack an audi
torium like the Hollywood Bowl,
holding 10000 persons. to hear
good music. Figures compiled
showing the attendance at per-
tormanceS Of f7rSt-claSS operas
and concerts in this country would
be conclusive proof that Euro
peans should come here to hear
music instead Of Americans going
to Europe"

to show that the city of the
Golden Gate spends more money
on music and has shown more
wide awake attention to the grow
ing popularity and possibilities in
music in this country. than any
other city in the United States.
not excluding New York.
pRIMA donna conductors had
better look TO their laurels. \
recent announcement was made
in a New York paper to the effect
that an orchestra has been Or
ganiZed which is to be without
any conductor whatsoever. 1t is
to be known as the American
Symphonic Ensemble and was i'll
Spired, it seems, by a similar or
chestra called the Persimphans in
Moscow. which would seem to be
successful, as it has been in eX-
istence six years. It Is fortunate
that the American organization
did not adopt the Russian name,
as there are those who might con-
fuse it with the name of a we'll
known citrus fruit. A conductor
less orchestra might have plenty
of opportunity for sour" notes
without the added risk of name
like Persimphans.
The new ensemble is to be
grouped in the form of an ellipse,
with the musicians facing the
center of the stage. An art COM
mittee composed of orchestra
members is to study the scores
and present plans to the group at
large concerning the choice anc
Interpretation Of compositions. 1t
is given as a theory in this con-
nection that ''it is believed the
absence of a conductors motions
will aid the listener to concen-
trate more fully on the music"
It is to be hoped that too ma9v
musical cooks won't spoil the broth
in this ensembles programs.

NogaIes Defeats
BiSbee High
In Opener
(By Ulpiano Sortillon)

With Velasco, Apache twirler,
holding the visiting team to but
five hits, the Nogales high won
their first conference game Sat
urday by defeating the much
tcuted Bisbee nine. The Apaches
pulled ahead in the second inning,
and held the lead until the end.
The game ended 9 to d.
Astiazaran grabbed the honors,
getting a three-bagger, double,
and a single. Velasco, pitching
his first conference game, allow
ed the Pumas only five hits. He
sent five men back to the bench,
hut also gave out three passes to
first.
The Smelter City lads started
the game by making two runs in
the first inning, but they failed to
score again until the eight frame.
The home team went scoreless III
the first session. In the second
stanza, Velasco frightened up, put
ting the Pumas down one-two-
three. In the last half of the Sec
ond, Asiazaran went out on a
foul. M. Lowe then started a
merry-go- round with a double.
When the Pumas put the third
Nogales international., 1928-04-03

man out, five runs had been
chalked up to the locals. Bisbee
scored one man in the eighth, and
another in the ninth when Rit-
teru clouted the ball for a triple.
Nogales scored in the third, Astia-
zaran sending the ball over right
center for three bases. He got
home on the catcher's error 9th
er runs were made in the fourth,
sixth, and eighth frames.
By winning Saturdays game,
the Apaches are the strongest
contestants with Tucson for the
Southern Conference honors. Tue
son defeated Bisbee last week by
score of 8 to 8. Coach Ash is
confident that the Apaches will
take the Badgers to camp when
the two teams meet April ID.
With three pitchers to give the
Badgers variety, and with such
heavy hitters as M. Lowe, Astia-
zaran and Flores to knock Car
rillo's offerings all over the lot,
the adding of the Badgers scalp
TO that of Bisbee is not difficult.
Next Saturday, Douglas will
come to Nogales to play the To-
Gals on the home diamond. An
easy trimming of the visitors is
expected, as Bisbee defeated them
badly two weeks ago.
Summary: Three base hits,
Astiazaran, Ritteru; two base hits,
Huerta, Flores, NJ. Lowe, Astia-
zaran, Gutierrez, Knox (B);
