Now, however, there are but i've persons In

to rule out guests while his new broadcasting
device is getting try-out
The members Of his famous Philadelphia Or
cheStra bear slight resemblance to the formally.
dressed delegation which plays at Carnegie
Hall. They are stripped down to their shirt
sleeves and several display brightly colored Sus-
penders. Stokowsh, himself, has removed his
coat, wearing q looSe-necked shirt with q dow-
ing collar.
He stands at table. On his table are three
control dials. And one of them has the appear
ance Of sun dial. A large arrow which moves
easily at the touch Of finger is directly before
him. He has merely to spin this arrow in one
direction or the other to attend to his own con-
troll Of tonality.
"After ALL" he explains "there are really two
conductors at broadcast concert"

his orchestra. The mechanical apparatus
resembles a tiny portable piano. To a visitor
the mechanic would seem, at glance, to be
part Of the musical ensemble. What Is hap
pening Is this: Stokowski Is directing both the
orchestra and the engineer.
A series Of prearranged signals have been
agreed upon. Just as foot ball player takes
the bali and charges the line after hearing the
quarterback's signals, now the conductor gives
his instructions by holding one or two or three
fingers in the air, or by sweeping his wrist In q
certain manner. The engineer, almost at his
side, watches for each gesture.
Upon the first presentation Of his control
arrangement StokowsE had tried to be both
director and mechanical wizard. Dissatisfied
with the results he then decided to have the
engineer with him.
For" as he explains, "the musician is after
all, the musician and must worry about his in

mechanical world which distributes his efforts.
Eventually the conductor will not need the con-

Hadley Got Chance

Already there has been some
criticism of the deal that takes
Hadley away from his, first ma
jor league home, but in a prac-
tical sense there can be no hon.
est crouch from Hadley's army
Of friends and adherents. Five
years is plenty for any player
to establish his worth on one
team. Many do not get that
long q trial. Not since Clark
Griffith tried to make real
twirlers out Of Joe Engel and
Jim Shaw has any washington
twirler had a similar opportu-
nifty to make good, unless it be
Curly Ogden.
The trade looks to us like a
real gamble, both on the part
OF Chicago and Washington.
Reynolds comes here following
only a fair year with the stick,
and Hadley goes to Chicago fol-
lowing just a medium year on
the mound. The other material
involved is more or less excess
baggage. Either club may use
it for trading material.
When q player gets to hitting
around the 40-year mark, such as
Sam Jones is, a club must stuff
him off when it can, and Griff
is fortunate to find a market
for him in Chicago. Any year
may be his last the way he
went In 1881, and it isn't a
comfortable feeling for any
magnate to be holding the bag
on a player who is around 40.

Hayes Big Failing

# Lou Fonseca, the new Chi
cago manager, can teach Jackie
Hayes how to hit, he has lost
nothing by sending Kerr to
washington, for Hayes can
scramble around that second
bag with the best of them, bet
ter than the majority. But
Hayes has never mastered the
great art of batting and this is
a day and age when ball play
ers must be able to field their
positions as well as pound out
hits.
With the ball season still four
months off, it looks to us like
Griffith made a smart deal. II
Reynolds isn't the answer to
WaShington's outfield problem,
then Griff and a lot of other
smart baseball people will be
surprised. The local player for

ton, and while on the face Of
matters Washington gave three
players for two, after all Wash
1ngton gave no player who has
been a particular bulwark to
its offense or defense.
Like any baseball player
manipulation, it is a gamble,
but this observer likes the Wash
ington angle of it because he
believes Reynolds can deliver
the necessary life in the local
outfield and because he has
long since lost hope that Had
ley would become a great
pitcher. The other material in
volved is outside of the real
issue.

DELAY IN GOLF.
SERIES LOOMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Nothing
has been settled in regard to the
Walker Cup matches which are
scheduled to be played in Amer
lea during the summer Of 1889.
Economic conditions in England
are such that there is some ques-
ton of the Royal and Ancient
being willing To- ask the golfers
of the country to raise a fund to
send the British team to this
country. Definite word probably
will be had by the January meet
ing. of the U. S. G. A.
This event, which is played
every other year, but only once
il four years in the United States,
could undoubtedly be made self
supporting, enough money being
taken in admission fees to defray
the exr onses Of the visiting team
and the American team.
The British probably would not
heed this sort of an arrangement,
preferrinG to cancel the 1882
match unless the golfing authori-
ties could see their. way clear to
provide the expense Of sending
their team to America.

NO7RE DAM
STAR GIVEN
1876 POINTS
By FORD FRICK

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The
Hearst All-America" team an
nounced today requires little ex'
PLANTATION and no apology.
It represents the combined
Judgment of nearly 200 coaches,
sports editors, and football writers
throughout the United States. No
man is mentioned, no man Is
named, but has been actually seen
in action by some member OF the
selecting committee - seen not
once, but numerous times.
Naturally, with more than 600
colleges putting football teams
on the field each Saturday, it Is
impossible for any group Of men
to reach unanimous accord on the
IL men or the 80 men best en-.
title to All-America honors. For
every team that is announced, 1t
is possible to name a rival team
just as good.
Consensus Votes Interesting
But, by consensus vote, it has
been possible to arrive at certain
definite conclusions as concerns
both individuals and team play.
And some of the findings in the
consensus vote have been espe-
cially interesting. /
Only four menHof the II first
team honors were anywhere near
unanimous selections. Jerry Dali
rymple, of Tulane, at end, and
Marchmont Schwartz, of Notre
Dame. at halfback-came close
to unanimous decision. Dalrymple
scored 1874 and Schwartz scored
1876 out of a possible 225 points.
Rentner, Northwestern back,
with 189 points, and Mum, Min
neSota tackle, with 1873 points,
rated up with the leaders.
Wood Gets Quarterback
AS concerns the others, it
was dogfight Barry Wood, of
Harvard, won the quarterback
selection by a scant II points
over Shaver, of U. S. C., and
Zimmerman, of Tulane, nosed
out McEver, of Tennessee for the
other back position by only two
points.
To show how varied the vote
was there were nine ends, IL
tackles, eight guards, six centers,
seven quarterbacks and Is backs
who received so or more points
each IN the Voting-proof of the
fact that talent is widely sepa-
rated and of fairly even caliber
throughout the country.
AS to the teams themselves
they're so nearly on a par that
they're interchangeable. The
second team, as a matter Of
fact, probably could hold its
own with the first team, and
the third team-if it came down
to cases - probably would hold
its own with the second.
Fine Players Left Off
In other words, it's impossible
to select one team of II men
and let it go at that. Even 80
men selections must, of neces.
Sity, leave out many fine out
standing players. So in this
selection there really isn't much
difference between the three
teams. They are designated as
first. second and third teams,
simply because there can be
only II men named on one out
fit-and not because there is any
real difference in their abilities.
Further than that - well, no
alibis are needed. The teams
represent the best Judgment and
knowledge of some 200 of the
best known coaches, editors and
writer's in the country. It is
presented, not as a perfect
selection, but as a sane, well
grounded solution Of q problem
that grows tougher and tougher
each season.
