G|GLI QUITS OPERA
IN SALARY DISPUTE
Hands in Contract Expiring
In 1885 and Metropolitan
Accepts Resignation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 30.-The rich
tenor voice of Beniamino Gigli no longer
will be heard in the tradition filled
Metropolitan Opera House.
He announced today that his dignity
as an artist" would not permit him to
remain longer; that he refused to bar
gain with his self-reSpect"; that he had
handed in contract expiring in 1885
The financial loss he would suffer as
a result Of his action, he said, would be
$500, 900.
At the same time the Metropolitan
Opera Co. issued a statement that
Gtgli's resignation had been accepted
because he refused to make a conces-
sion ''of q single cent" in his salary,
while all other opera stars were accept
ing 10 per cent cut.
Has No Apology to Make.
Gigh denied that purely financial
reasons prompted him TO leave the Met
ropolitan, where 1 spent the best IL
years Of my artistic life"
>''I have no regret and no apology to
make" he said, in explaining that the
story of why he was leaving was too
intimate, too complex and too unpleas-
ant to tell in detail.
II leave the Metropolitan with a
tranquil conscience, but with sadness In
my heart" he added. II did not give
only my voice to the audiences, but my
soul. And the public did not recipro-
cate only with dollars but also with
sincere affection.
THE Metropolitan has not been my
workshop, but rather the temple where
lived in spiritual communion with the
thousands of listeners"
Metropolitan Issues Statement.
The Metropolitan's statement told
how Giulio Gatti- -Casazza appealed
twice to all members of the opera COM
pany, great and small" to cooperate
with the management to save the life
Of the institution"
They voluntarily accepted" the
statement continued, "but not Mr.. Gigi,
who, on the first occasion, last Decem-
ber, not only refused to make a con-
ression of single cent, but in addition
criticized and ridiculed the artists who
had reduced their salaries. Now again
he refused to cooperate in the PROPOSE
ton accepted by all the others.
Under the circumstances the rela-
Mons between the opera company and
Mr. Gigli became intolerable and such
that Mr.. Gatti- -CasaZza, with the ap-
Uroving sentiment of the entire artistic
and administrative staff, Immediately
accepted the surrender Of Mr.. GigPs
contract, when rendered"
Both the opera company and Rosa
Ponselle, prima donna, denied a report
abe had refused to take the reduction.
Tt was pointed out she was one OF the
first to volunteer cut.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 26.-For the first time since the days of the Tommy Gibbons Billy Miske series, Minnesota hopes to have an &C., cepted heavyweight boxing cham pion before spring.
 Dick Daniels of Minneapolis and Charley Retzlaff of Duluth are scheduled for a 10-round bout on March l, that seems to have the approval of fans as a champion ship matching.
 Retzlaff, who originally came from North Dakota, has the longer string of knockouts, but ran into trouble when Joe Sekyra whipped him in New York, and the rivals are rated about even.
 Gibbons, who stayed Is rounds with Jack Dempsey in the historic bout at Shelby, Mont, when the Manassan was champion, consist ently turned back challenges of Miske for the Minnesota title.

COHOES TIE SOCKEYES IN BOWLING TOURNEY;

1t looks like a hot finish in the Elks' bowling tournament. When the Cohoes took three straight from fthe Chums last night they went into a tie with the Sockeyes for first place in the second half standings. Each team has won Il games and lost four, and tonight they bowl against each other to determine which squad meets the Shrimps, first half winners, for tournament honors.
 The Lobsters lost an outside chance to keep in the running when they dropped a game to the Clans, though winning the other two. They play the Chums in the second match tonight, which com oletes the tournament schedule The Cohoe-Sockeye battle starts at |7:15 o'clock.
 Next week the second mixed tournament of the season starts.
 Cleveland, with an average ot 186. and Bringdale, with score of 203 for single game, were high point winners last night.
 The second half winners meet the Shrimps tomorrow night to settle the tournament champion shin.

 Notre Dame is tough spot for any fotball coach with the Rockne record held up before him. No one can appreciate this better than An derson, who found himself sub jected to considerable criticism be- fore the close of the 1881 season.
