GERMAN|'S RECITAL
Noted Musician Impresses
With Program of Well
Balanced Selections.

A dinner at the La Fayette Hotel,
followed by an organ recital by Fernan-
do Germani, was attended by nearly
100 organsts of Washington and Balti-
more last night at ST. Johns Church on
Lafayette Square. The program was ar
ranged under the auspices of the Amer
lean Guild Of OrganiSts, the District of
Columbia Chapter, in honor of the
members of the Chesapeake Chapter Of
Baltimore, of whom about 80 members
attended.
Dean Rolla G. G. onyun of the local
chapter presided at the dinner and
Karl Holer, member of the executive
committee, acted as POSTMASTER. Mr..
Holer introduced the honor guest, Signor
Germani, who gave short address in
French. Others who were introduced
were Frederick Erickson, who has made
a study and collection of Spanish
carols: Edmund Serene Enden and
John II. Eltermann, officials of the Bal
timore Chapter, and Helen Fetter of
Washington.
Studied Under Bossi.
Signor Germani at the age of began
the study of music in Rome with
Bajardi at the st. Cecilia Academy of
Music. Later he studied organ with

at the Pontifical School of Sacred Music
Signor Germani studied piano and COM
position under Ottorino Respighi. The
young organist then became a student
under the late famous organist, Enrico
Bossi.
Last night Signor Germani played on
the new organ in st. Johns, designed
by the organist of that church. T. Guy
Lucas, and built according to his plans.
Signor Germani'S pedal work was faSci-
mating and most effective. The pedal
work in Bossi's "Etude" Symphonique, "
the Liszt-Straube allegro and Fugue,
Ad Nos" and the final pedal etude by
Manari gave full opportunity for the
exploitation of the players skill In this
most important part of the organist's
art.

plete, easy mastery of the instrument
he played, were features noticeable
throughout. The program was COM

In the lighter works, such as DAquin's

sense, be a souvenir of Washington and
of the inaugural event. The booklet

GONZAGA WATTS
DUPL|N' s WORD

Gonzaga High, athletic officials
are awaiting word from Ralph
Dulpin, former Georgetown football
and baseball star, in connection
with the vacant athletic directors
position at the Street school.
Ken Simendinger, who has been
connected with Gonzaga since the
fall of 1925, resigned his duties
there to accept berth as athletic
director at st. Mays College, ST.
Mary's, Kan.
1t Is thought likely that Duplin,
varsity quarterback on the 1879
Hilltop eleven and captain and
centerfielder on the nine, will &C
cept the Gonzaga offer. Lou
Little, Georgetown's head coach,
also would like to have him as an
assistant this fall.
Silnendinger, acknowledged as
ono Of the greatest halfbaCkS
in fOtbalI history at Holy Cross,
succeeded Thomas r. ("Zube"l

The former Holy Cross gridiron
ace was also regular Outfielder
On the Purple nine and that is some
honor, as Holy Cross is the pre-
misr baseball school of all colleges.
A football knee cut short q
promising diamond professional
career. This injury was further
aggravated by his participation in
professional football ranks after
his graduation from college.
Gonzaga is planning a mammoth
athletic schedule and hopes to have
its stadium ready for the home
football games this fall. The
stadium will be erected on a tract
of land at BennTng, D. C. The
alumni will hold a special meeting
on June "a IN the Gonzaga College
Auditorium, AZ st. N. W., ard
probably the new athletic policy
will come under discussion.

Major Lyman Is perhaps the
most skilltul of all the players in
the matter Of horsemanship. Always
on the alert, he Is a constant thorn
in the side of his opponents, for he
is usually the quickest to retrieve
the ball and start a wild and often
unstoppable ride toward his enemy 8
goal.
Unless halted within a reasonable
distance from the uprights, the
chances are almost even. that a
goal results. In his two appear
ances he has shown the most accu'
rate hitting ability of any player
in the two tournaments. Whenever
he gets shot near the goal, its
an odds-on bet that he scores.
Besides being highly proficient
in all branches of the game,
Major Lyman b imbued with
and imparts his winning spirit
to his mates in a most dis
concerning fashion to opponents.
Throughout the game one hears
his timely advice to a mate, take
it" or "leave it, "to the right" and
sundry other orders. This If his
mate or mates are in better position
than he to carry on the particular
play, for he never fingers or hest
tates when it is to his teams adj
vantage for him to make the same
play.
On the start Of play he is usually
in the thick OF the battle for pos.
session Of the ball. And what is
more he usually accomplishes his
purpose with deft, short passes to a
mate that speedily gets the ball
under way toward the opposing end
OF the field.
Seldom does Lyman try for the
spectacular goal a long way out.
Rather than Babe Ruthing 1t, he
nurses it toward the counting sta
ton himself or passes it to a e
who is in a more advantageous scor
ing position.

ponents out of the play, much as

Major Lyman has been play
ing polo some seven Or eight
years despite the fact that an
elder brother was killed some
years ago when he fell from his
horse and suffered a broken
neck.
The War Whites and Sixteenth
Field Artillery teams are playing to-
day in the finals in the intra circuit
division of the tournament and on
Wednesday the crack Benning
9team engages the Third Cavalry
four in the Infantry Cup finals.
Both matches will start at 4:SO
o'clock.
A majority of polo fans will be dis
appointed to learn that it il impos-
sible for the Fort Benning and Six
teenth Field Artillery teams to meet
even in an informal game. The lat
ter outfit must embark for Carlisle,

for the summer. These two teams

Failing to report here yesterday:
Thomas is expected to roll in via
automobile today. Getting into uni
form with the Griffs tomorrow he
may be started in the Boston series
opening Thursday.
With Garland Braxton tuning up
for rescue work, Thomas is
scheduled to work in rotation with
Fred Marberry, Ad Lska and
Irving Hadley. Believing that the
ex-Yankee can deliver If given the
chance, Manager Walter Johnson is
prepared to shoot with him regu-
larly. >..-

Having turned 80, Thomas is re-
puted to possess plenty of stuff
but was Of little use to the Yankees
in their pennant races. Considered a
world beaten when breaking in as
a rookie several years ago, he has
since been used mainly as relief
man.
Two predictions made exclusively
in The Washington Times were
borne out yesterday. Ossie Bluege,
who had been missing from the
lineup with a twisted left knee, re-
Iieved Buddy Myer at third base,
while Manager Walter Johnson con-
firmed the report that Pitcher Gar.
land Braxton will hereafter be used
to finish games.
This isn't a demotion for Brax-
ton" he Explained while making
this statement. I'm figuring on
using him as relief man because
believe he can save a lot Of games

can step i'm and stop the other
teams cold three.fOurths Of the
time, you can't go wrong by
using him. That's why l want
BraxtOn to be ready to SO in

The substitution of Bluege for
Myer was not unexpected by those
who have been following the for
tunes of the Griffmen of late. While
hitting consistently, Buddy was
utterly unable to match Blue3e's de-
fensive form.
"Ossie would make any other third
baseman in the league, with the
possible exception OF Willie Kamm,

Miller Higgins, their manager,
made this statement to the writer
this morning, four days before the
adhesive series with the Athletics,
a series calling for five games
within a period Of II hours. The
fate Of the 1926.27.28 champions will
be determined by these games but,
rise or fall, the Yankees, as we
have known them, never will be the
same again once the current season
is ended That much is ordained.
Absolutely" said Higgins with
great emphasis. ''I'll have a differ.
emit club on the field next year, re-
CARELESS Of whether they are cham
pions at the time or just ball
club that used to be champions.
They have gone far for me but
there must be an end to everything
and this is about it."
His only hope for the pennant,
he admitted, was to win four
out Of five from the Athletics
in the impending series but
gathered that this was not SO
much q hope as a despairing
thought.
The inference I gained was that.
even If he did win the series, the
gesture might be too late for all
practical purposes. Higgins Is a
confirmed pessimist. He comes by
the characteristic honestly this
time, with the rival club racing out
in front by eight games.
Racing" isn't exactly the term.
either, since this implies contest
of some kind. So far, there has
been almost none. The Yankees
have won eleven of their last Is
games and may consider themselves
fortunate that they did; otherwise
there would be no race at all
today. They lost ground even while
they were winning.
1T wouldn't mind so much if
Detroit or st. Louis was out that
far in 'front.'" Higgins. added. "Td
figure then hat 1 had the better
club and that ultimately class would
tell, But the Athletics are good
club, with hitting and pitching
and youth and all the other things
that make a good club good. You
don't stake that kind to eight
: games start and catch them every
time you set out to try. And, of
course, il they beat US in this
series they will add to the con-
fidence they are getting in them
selves every day and then you
wouldn't be able to catch them with
q posse"
Higgins, Of course, wouldn't
care particularly about being
beaten out of his fourth straight
pennant and the league record;
9. yet it might he that he would
accept the inevitable with some
: degree Of resignation.
