WESTERMAN OUT OF .|NSTlTUTEFOR YEAR
Yi0IiDiSt Decides Not to Press
 Pursuit Of Muse

!. George Westerman, vlolnist, first to win the Kate X. Stanley scholarship. emitting him 10 tuition in the Institute of Musical Arts New York city, will postpone for q year his return to New York for a continuation of his studies, 1t be- came known today.
 After winning the scholarship two years ago Mir. Westerman went 10 the Institute and was so far ad- vancod as q violinist and made such rapid progress that he crowded two years studies into one, and with honors. He likewise made a highly gratifying record at the Institute last year He now has one more year of the four years course ahead Of him.
 Decision 10 postpone his re-cntry into the Institute is due to the fact that the young vioinist wishes to money on the side in New York while pursuing his studies The scholarship provided tuition for the first year only and did not provide living expenses. These Were secur- cd by part time work.
 Meanwhile Mr. Westcrman is al work at the local office of the Con- necticut Light and Power Co. and will continue being employed there until returning to the Institute next year with enough money saved to provide the closing years tuition and living costs, At least, that is his expectation.
 The NiOlinist will not lack expert instruction during his year Of ab- sence from the Institute, however, having made arrangements to go 70 Bridgeport once a week during the winter and there take instructions from the same violin master who taught him at the Institute. This gentleman lives in Bridgeport. The special instruction this season will enable Mir. Wcstcrman to be espe- rially well prepared on entering the Institute for the fourth term a year hence

Chicago, Sept 14 P-Rhymcs and jinglos, pathetic pleas and per Sonai notes accompanying applica- tlons for World Series tickets are not a bit of help to the applicant-but they do help to brighten the labors of the Cub office force.

 Still another cunning, and appar- entlv prosperous, applicant sent in A separate letters with checks to- talllnS $554.40. hoping at loas: Oh, would be drawn from the bag. lis case also was under consideration.
 A wealthy Chicagoan sent checl. to William Wrigley. Jr.. owner Of he club. asking for 30 reserved seats for the opening game. Inasmuch as only two tickets will be sold to each individual, the check was re turned with q note that Mr. Wrigley had nothing to do with the disposal of seats, The check and request then was sent to President William l.. NeeCk, but again was returned with a similar comment.

Tn those days "Columbia Eddie" was the scintillating second sackcr for the White Elephants. He now is field manager for Connie Mack and eligible to take his regli- lar place in the game if necessary.
 Nineteen years have slipped by since the Athletics and the Cubs tangled in world series. for il was in the fall of 1910 that Mack led one of his greatest teams into bat tie for the baseball championship Of the universe.
 Of all the band that sent the late Frank Chance and others Of the Cub machine reoling into defeat, Collins is the only one who remains eligible as an active Combatant in the battles to come.
 Now, as captain Of the Mackmoa. Collins plays a minor role so far as the public is concerned. His time spent on the bench or coaching lines. and concoding that the Athle- ties have won the American league race. Collins glidos into his seventh world series as the last Of the Mo- hicans, the only remnant of an old guard that either has died or sur. rendered. Five of these world ser- ics adventures he will have known as q member of the Athletics. Twice h" played under the colors Of Chi cago when q member of the White SON.
