CHICAGO COACH MYSTERY
Metcalf Tight-Lipped When Asked
About Successor to Stagg.

CHICAGO, February 2 P.-Sports
writer's, who are accustomed to digging
up important scoops on the news hap
penings of the Big Ten Athletic Con-
ference season after season, were just
about ready to give up today after
almost four months of skirmishing with
Thomas Nelson Metcaf.
The tight-lipped successor to the vet
eran Amos Alonzo Stagg as director Of
athletics at the University of Chicago
still had them guessing over his choice
of the next foot ball coach at the Mid
way. The only thing he has told them,
or even hinted at, since he was asked
to get a new coach last October was
that the man would not be Stagg.

Saws Thick-Skin
Umps Big Asset

MEMPHIS, Tenn, February up.
lV1--Harry Steamboat" johnson,
who has called balls and strikes
for % years, says thick skin is a
great asset to base ball umpire.
"A good, thick skin is more to be
desired than a hard-boiled DISPOSE
tion," in the opinion of Johnson,
who probably ranks as the No. l
arbiter of the Southern Association.
Being hard-boiled doesn't help
you in handling players like convinc-
ing them you are going to do your
level best in calling plays right in
every game" he remarked.
johnson got his nickname because
of his loud voice. which sometimes
sounds like a steamboat fog horn.

GET SETBACK

Temporary workers in the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration received a setback today
The length of employment for
the approximately 1900 clerks
depends upon the number Of
contracts with farmers arriving
in washington as a result of
various acreage reduction cam
paigns. It is the duty of the
temporary employees to check and
audit these contracts.
The setback came when it was
learned that the reduction drive
among producers of shade-cured
tobacco in the Connecticut VAL
ley will not be handled in the
usual way by signing individual
contracts with each farmer, but
will be accomplished by means
of a control committee of to-
bacco growers which will allot
the amount Of acreage to be
plowed under by each producer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 G.N.SO.
Trial of a suit filed by Victor
KoSow, father of Sylvia Sydney,
screen actress, to annul the
adoption of his daughter by DR..
Samuel Sydney, a dentist, who
married the actress mother after
she divorced Kosow, was to get
under way today in supreme court
here.
Kosow, a clothing salesman, in
Stituted the action, he declared,
to "let the world know that she's
my daughter and that I'm proud
of it."
Indications were that Miss Sgd
ney, even if her fathers suit is
successful and the adoption is set
aside, would act to have herself
re-adopted by the Sydneys.
Benjamin Spellman, attorney
for the actress, pointed out that
as an adult Miss Sydney could
take such action.
That she was opposed to the
suit was indicated in long let
ter forwarded to Spellman from
Hollywood. In it she disclosed
that in May, 1882, she met her
father for the first time in Is
years at the offices of Kosow's
attorney here. She said in the
letter:
1--WE greeted each other rather
cOldly. He (KOSOw) then threat
ened to mike public the fact
that was not the true daugh-
ter of DR.. Sydney. I asked him
what he had ever done for me
or for my mother to deserve any
Of the glory we were getting.
But then 1 saw that all this was
getting nowhere, and asked him
to say exactly what he wanted.
He asked me to buy him a
house. He said / would have to
buy it myself and later present
1t to him. He said good houses
could be picked up in Brooklyn
for $4,000.
ct told him that would be
quite impossible. But informed
him I would be willing to give
him substantial sums of money
from time to time. This offer
he refused, saying he could not
bring himself to accept charity"

HE|FETZ HEARD.
IN SPLENDID
RECITAL

Washington likes Jascha Hell
fetz-and Heifetz appar emily likes
washington audiences. For after
playing a lengthy recital at Con-
stitution Hall yesterday afternoon
he submitted to their insistent
demand and gave a number OF
encores. Heifetz appeared under
the local management If Mrs.
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey.
The concert was one that
brought delight to the real lover
of violin music, and served to
prove what a real master Of that
instrument is Heifetz.
It was music that is rarely
heard in concert here, formal mu-
sic that tended to bring out
to it's best the HeifetZ technique.
Outstanding was his rendition
of the Strauss Sonaoa for violin
and piano, in which he was most
ably assisted by Arpad Sander,
his accompanist. This is one of
Strauss earlier works, a vivid
tone poem. Rarely heard, it is
perhaps one of the composers
greatest works.
Schubert's Sonatina served to
open the program and put the
audience in the mood for the
type of music the master had Sc
lected for this program. An
other brilliant number was the
Concerto of Conus, one Of the
greatest of Frances violiniStS,
played con amore.
One of Brahms Hungarian
dances was given, the little known
No. 20, a plaintive air.
The audience was in raptures
over his rendition of his own
scoring of Albeniz' Eel Puerto" a
colorful Spanish number, and lie
gave an encore of this. Inciden-
tally it was the first time this
number has ever been given in
concert here.
Wieniawski's ScherZi-T q a n
telle, and Alt-Wien, another num-
Der new to concert goers served
to fill out the program which
was indeded most satisfying.

POPULAR OPERA
OPENS SEASON
IN CAPITAL

Opera at popular prices is in
demand in washington, as was
unquestionably demonstrated last
night when more than 1000 per-
sons filled the auditorium for
the premiere of the International
Opera Company.
1t was a large audience and
an enthusiastic one which turned
out for the familiar operate
twins which had been selected for
the first hight, "Cavalleria Rus
ticana" and "Pagliacci."
Colorful, tuneful and familiar,
these two short operas were we'll
presented and enthusiastically re-
ceived.
There were minor defects, but
these were overlooked and for
given by the audience in their
enthusiasm. But with long bill,
It seemed inexcusable that the
curtain should rise one-half hour
late, especially as the audience
was there on time.
Another thing that might have
better been eliminated was use
Of the pipe organ, which at times
drowned out the voices Of the
singers and the really excellent
music of the orchestra.
But these were forgotten by
the brilliance of the performance
Of Emilia Vergeri, who was a
splendid Santuzza, displaying
great fire and an adequate voice
for this most exacting role.
Edward Ransome was an &C
Ceptable Turiddu and Charlotte
Bruno made the most out Of the
part of Mama Lucia. Martina
Rossi was cast as Alto, and Eliz-
Gbeth Gerard portrayed Lola.
Giro de Ritis was cast as Tonic,
the pathetic clown in Pagliacci,
and made a splendid type, es-
pecially in the familiar prologue
which opens the story. Maria
Olla's Media was we'll sung, as
was Fortunate de Angels Canio.
Tonight Carmen" will be the
offering,

 Anything I can say will only make you dislike me more," Boyd said stiffly. Let's go home. shall we?"l
 Her bevildered anger and pain burst into fresh flame.
 "Yes. go home. Get rid of me as quickly as you can." she taunted him. "I suppose you think I'm in love with you" She gave misera- ble little laugh. "Well, and so I am in love with you" she said defantly. Nichol9s turned slowly round and looked at her; he was rather white and his eyes were unutterably sad.
 His lips moved as if he would have sponen. but Georgie gave him no opportunity; she turned and fled away from him out of the wood anf
