. 49, a"AS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-(P-
.United States army carrier pigeons
soon will fly with two kinds Of notes
official and musical.
To protect their winged messen-
gers from hawks the war depart
ment proposes to attach whistles to
its military flock of 1881 birds.
Whistles for pigeons may be an ex-
pertinent in the United States, but
their use is a custom time-honored
among the Chinese. Music in the
air has for centuries been one of
the many novelties Of life in Peiping
formerly Peking). =,
A visitor may be approaching an old
Peiping temple when suddenly a
flock Of pigeons wheels off with q
whir of wings and a medley Of sweet
notes. The music floated on the
wind by a flock Of Chinese pigeons
sounds like the stunning Of many
harps in the heavens.
Very light whistles are attached
to the tails of the birds soon after
they leave the nest. Fine copper wire
is used Two kinds of pigeon whistles
are used; one consists Of bamboo
tubes placed side by side; the other
consists Of tubes attached 70 a small
pourd. The former may have two,
three or five tubes. The later gourd
type sometimes carries as nigh as
Is tubes, each with a different note,
thus converting a modest, shy pigeon
into n flying calliope.
In every case the pigeon pipes are
heavily lacquered 10 prevent wealth
ering and probably to decorate the
birds. because the whistles are paint
ca yellow, brown, red or black;
The care which the Chinese lavish
an their pigeon whistles suggests
that fear Of hawk attacks on the
birds is only half the story. IL pro-
lection alone was the object, one
whistle ought TO do the Job. But the
Chinese like their aerial music, SO
the hawks provide a happy excuse
for the elaborate, brilliant pipes on
Peiping pigeons.

Mrs. Haynes played today against
Mrs. M. L. Bell of Baltimore, whom
she was expected to beat, while Miss

Mrs. Haynes won her way through
the second round yesterday by defeat
ing Mrs. Hubert r. Quinter of Col

son would make a capable manager.
The Newark club piloted by Johnson
this year finished seventh in the eight
club International League with VIM
ming percentage slightly under the 800
mark The failure of two or three of
the Bears to follow training rules and
the inability of two veteran pitchers
to fulfill promises of successful sea-
son after brilliant starts IN the Florida
training camp hurt the club. However,
the lowly finish of the Bears was not
held against johnson, the owner and
supporters of the club feeling that he
had done as well as any other could
have done with the material at hand
For some time rumors that Johnson
would assume the reins of the Wash
ington club next year have been circu-
lating. Long before President Griffith
announced that Harris would not be at
the head of the Nationals in 1929, the
veteran pitcher was mentioned as
Buckys likely successor. And during
the world series the rumors were re-
newed, although neither johnson nor
Griffith had anything to say about the
matter at the time.
Johnson came to the Nationals in
July, 1907, raw-boned youngster of 10
years from the Weiser, Idaho, club, and
lIlG Ody VI Ills U6Uub do UlS
league hurler, August 2, 1907, he was the
idol of the Washington fans. His blind
ing speed quickly brought him renoWn
throughout, the base ball world, and for
years he was held the greatest pitcher
in the American League and one of the
best moundsmen Of all time. Record
after record was established by him and
he climaxed a brilliant career by pitch
ing the decisive victory of the world
series of 1924, although he remained
with the Nationals until the end Of the
1927 season.
1t was with sincere regret that base
ball fans of tn Nation saw him volun-
tarily pass from the major show at the
close of the 1927 campaign, but his Sc
lection as manager of the Newark club
was held fine tribute to man who
had given the greater part of his life
to the game he loved. Shortly before
the Bears were called South for train
ing late last Winter, Johnson was at
tackled by influenza and for weeks was
seriously ill.,
johnson was unable to do any pitch
ing for heGBears this year as he had
expected to do, but he is in fine health
again and quite At to care for the many
