USES TEN MAN TEAM
Connie Mack is Finding Trouble in Placing Old Regulars and Rockies in Games.

Fort Myers. Fla, March 5 R- With the training camp cluttered up with Athletes, Connie Mack is hav- ing trouble to find places for all the Athletic regulars and rockies in practice games. For the present he is using the 10-man team plan, thus making it unnecessary for any of the pitchers to go through the motions of batting.
 In yesterdays regular Yanigan fracas, which the regulars won 19 to 4, Boley did all the batting for the regular pitchers and Captain Eddie Collins enacted the same role for the Yanigan fingers. Boleys throwing arm is not in shape and Hassler substitute shortstop, looked after the work aticld.
 The regulars hammered Yerkes. Shores, Ehmke. Walberg and Breck- enridge for 23 hits, one of them homer by Simmons. Nick Borrelli, former Muhlenburg football and baseball star, worked at third for the regulars and looked to the rail- birds. With Max Bishop still a hold out. Hale and Ykes played second base during the workout.

CUBAN GIRLS FREE
 FROM CONVENTIONS
Cast Off Traditional Clothes and
 Manners of Spain

Havana, March R-No longer does the Cuban woman hide hel beauty under voluminous mantillas nor does she recognize the former rule that the home is her little circle and the outside world only for mas culine members of the family.
 The Cuban woman is emancipated Chic hats from the Rue de la Paia or Fifth avenue adorn her head. re- placing the old custom of trailing manton. Her clothes are no longer subdued blues or black but are oi colors comparable to the coat made famous by Joseph.
 Time was when Cuban women fled as men approached. But no longer. The emancipated Cubatn woman receives men and entertains men, much to the apparent disap- proval of the die -hards who hold to ancient customs.
 The Cuban girl is prototype of her northern sister. If anything she has more style, is smarter and. inasmuch as her clothes are often labeled with the name of a famous shop. she is a Parisienne from the tip of her dainty shoes to the top of her small hat.
 This a"-or tiny Cuban goes 10 her clubs, often side tracks her "duenna," likes her movies served up with plenty of Hollywood kick and enjoys her cabaret excursions. She Is Miss America, but she is more exotic. not so outspoken and inclined to a more serious trend of thought.
 Her mother more often than not appears to be her sister Cuban matrons are as religious in their exercise and conditioning treatments as are the Riverside drive social leaders or the girls who tread the boards at beauty shows. Excess weight is countenanced no more than man made rules. reminiscent of harem seclusion. This applies 10 the middle class as well as to the circle of "dons" and "damas"
 It is not unusual to see trim roadster fit along one of the fashionable drives Of Havana, filled to the rumble seat with keen. black eyed beauties. Whereas a few years ago this condition would have brought forth eXclamations of dis may from parents and shouts Of con- sternation from police, the Cuban woman driving her own car is now accepted. The foot Of Cuban girl proves to be as heavy on the gas as 1t is light. in the circlings Of the danzon. Miss Cuba is a speeder!
 Emancipation of the Cuban wom- an does not stop at discarding old Spanish styles nor at the right to pilot their own car. It extends to beaches where the one-piecc bathing suit is adopted and beach pajamas are worn with European indiffer- ence
 Now the Cuban woman is seeking suffrage at the polls, the right to hold political office and to share equally with men the responsibility Of selecting the islands governing bodies and serving as legislators The bill for the ballot lacks only the signature of the president 10 be ratified.

 (By Herald Reviewer)
 Evidently hearing the cry for something new and better in the theater. Hardwick Nevin. son of Ethelbert Nevin, the distinguished American composer, wrote a play now known as Young Alexander" Whether his courage was greater tIIoA AliF, Ai9NIt tdll pC SolA oIiS after the romantic comedy-for that's what the program says it is has been revised and has been seen by more audiences. In it's present state it is a diamond in the rough and it's facets require diligent polish ing. If it's speed can be accelerated and more fire injected into the early moments, it may survive the gruel- ling punishment that so many shows are receiving. and even prosper.
 Young Alexander" is no other than Alexander the Great before the laurels of greatness were firmly fixed on his brow. He has led his army to Persia 10 do battle with Darius but has become obsessed with the idea that he is god. In keeping with his policy of self apotheosizing. he or ders all women from his camp SO that the soldiers, like their masters, may live chastely. On the opposite bank of the river is camped Darius army. Learning of conditions under Alexander, Darius orders that fires be lighted. wine be served and wom- en dance. In this way he expects to lure from Alexander a great many of his mercenaries. Through a trick perpetrated by Aristandos, necro- mancer. Darius is misled in his bat tie tactics and Alexander. irrev- ocably convinced that he is god, defeats him in test at arms.
 By far, the finest, sharpest charac- ter interpretation of the play when it was presented at Parsons theater. Hartford, last evening, was given by A. F.. Anson. Charles Dalton was likewise excellent as Darius. It was a real pleasure to watch and listen to Edward Rieby as Spithrides. Jessie Royce Landis portrayed the part of Statira, wife to Darius, deftly and in the modem manner. Henry Hull's voice was not in keeping with the demands of his role as the youth Alexander. It is possible that the condition was temporary. This re- viewer thought that the effect of his acting was spoiled by a tendency to be theatrical although it must be admitted that he has difficult task to perform
 young Alexander" will be repeat ed tonight and tomorrow night, with the usual Wednesday matinee.

SAYS NATIONAL CAPITAL
SHOULD BE MUSIC CENTER
Marcel Salzinger, Cleveland Insti-
tute Director, Suggests Creation
of symphony Orchestra Here.

Creation of a symphony orchestra
in Washington would be step OF great
Importance In making the Capital the
,n,Isical center of the United States, in
the opinion of Marcel Salzinger, di-
rector of the Cleveland Institute OF
Music and first baritone of. the Ger
man Grand Opera Co., which is now
appearing here.
Mr. Salzinger has given the follow
ing statement concerning the proposed
symphony orchestra here to the COM
mittee of the Washington Chamber or
Commerce headed by Charles j. Stock
man. which is studying the need and
ACCESSIBILITY of promoting establishment
of such a musical organization:
"It was q great surprise to me upon
arriving In Washington to learn that
the Capital does not have great SYM
phony orchestra. In my own country
Vienna has three symphony orchestras,
one maintained by the national gov
eminent and two by private organlza-
tions with support from the city gov
eminent. Berlin has three symphony
orchestras and the National Opera of
Paris is known throughout the world.
1.-THE cultural and educational advan-
tages of great symphony orcheStraS of
this kind are generally recognized
throughout Europe, and the movement
has now spread to SO cities in your
great country. It would almost seem
that every great city save Washington
now has a symphony orchestra. Wash
ington, the Capital of the United
States, because of this very fact, it
seems to me, should have symphony
orchestra comparable to or surprising
similar organizations in other cities
