NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS
An Exhibition of Work by Children Especially Interesting
Several Important Showngs Listed for the
Month-Portraits in Wax

Hoffman, and that among the tempo
rary exhibitions set forth by the Cor
coran Gallery was a comprehensive
group Of miniatures In colored wax
by Ethel Frances Mundy, cotempo-
rary artist: and at the same time this
historic miniature of Washington by
Patience Wright has been generously
lent to the Library Of Congress.
According to authorities, colored wax
has been used as medium FOR portrait
ure since the days of the early Egyptians,
and has proved extremely lasting. That
Patience Wright and others OF her gener-
alton who had almost certainly no know,
ledge of tradition should have employed
1t with such great success is remarkable
indeed.
THE National League Of American
L. Pen Women is holding its third an
nual exhibition of art at the Barnard
Galleries, in New York City. This ex-
hibition, which consists of paintings,
pastels, sculpture and miniatures, opened
March and will continue to the end
of the month. The chairman of the
committee under whose charge this
exhibition is set forth is Mrs. Ethel
Heaven Hamilton, who began her art
studies here in Washington and has ex
hibited in this city many times.

DAUL BRANSOM, an erstwhile Wash
ington boy, has attained consider
able distinction as an illustrator OF
animals. In an article by Lillian NJ
Cromelin In the current issue of Ameri-
can Forests it is said that Mr.. Bransom
gave his first and last chalk talk when
student in the eighth grade in the
old Blair School in this city. His first
drawings of animals were made in our
National Geological Park. On the
strength of his work done here. Dr.
Hornaday secured for him the privilege
of a studio in the New York Geological
Park, where for number of years he
executed commissions. He works chiefly
in charcoal, and his illustrations have
appeared in some of the leading maya
zines. He has also shown work in the
New York Water Color Clubs exhibit
tons, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn; the
Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, and has
exhibited with the Society of Illus
traitors. of which he Is member, and
in exhibitions held by the Architectural
League of New York and the T-Square
Club of Philadelphia.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the fact that Charles Livingston
Bull, who has made a great reputation
in this same field. began his artistic
career in Washington while working as
taXidermist at the National Museum
and studying at the Zoo.

YANKS ARE UNABLE

Win First Game of Twin Bill
Easily, but Give Way in
Second Contest.
BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

w YITH all but two of the Ma
tional League teams in tran
NV sit from West to East yes
terday, the Spotlight'S glare
rested upon the double clash
Of the Yankees and the Athletics in
Philadelphia. More than 10000 Quaker
City fans crowded into the park and
countless other thousands languished
disappointed in the streets outside as
the leaders gained an even break with
the runners-up in the first two-thirds
of what some deem crucial series.
Led by Babe Ruth, who hit his twen-
ty-eighth with three on base, the YAM
KEGS exploded five home runs about
the ears of Athletic pitchers in the
opening game to win by Is to !. only
to see the Mackmen run of with the
second by 4 to 2, leaving Connie Mack'S
margin Of nv games unmolested.
The Babe hit his four-run homer
with one out in the second. It was the
Babes second homer with the bases
filled in successive games and the
twelfth such blow of his career.
Roy Sherid deserved better fate in
the nightcap, his second complete game
son. He entered the home half Of the
eighth with a 2-to-1 lead over George
Earnshaw, but three hits. two of them
doubles, and a tumble by Lazzeri gave
the Mackmen three runs and the game.
Connie Mack sent Bob Grove In to pitch
the ninth just to remove any doubt that
the game was over.
The Athletics and the Yanks will
close out their current series with a
single game today and then repair to
the West for their final long trip of the
season.

and the Tigers in Cleveland. Dale
Alexander treated himself to four hits,
which helped the Bengals to halt Cleve-

third rung.
Washington defeated the Red Sox at
Boston by to 2, and the Browns and
the White Sox were travelling.
The only activity in the National
League was at Forbes Field, where the
Pirates nosed out the Giants by 4 to
in the ninth and shaved a more or less
inconsequential half game from the
margin of the Cubs. The Bruins now
top the National field by seven full
