of the Potomac Electric Power Co. and
| the Columbia Symphony Mandolin Or
| chestra. directed by Sophocles T. Papas
| with the glee club leading with two well
sung selections Of popular nature,
Rolling Down to Rio" and Deep
River" Throughout the program of the
glee club the work of j. X. Marshall
tenor. was particularly noticeable in up
holding the tenor section. as well as
giving strength to the entire club. Mr.
Marshall later appeared in solo num-
Der. Your Eyes Have Told Me so. -
Harry ]. Yeide proved a capable leader
and held his sometimes over joyous club
to moderate volume. which, In Obey
Speaks Sylvia" was particularly en-
joYable.
Inte-spersed in each OF these recitals
by the club and orchestra was soprano
solo by Alma Harris, accompanied by
Estelle Wentworth: a tenor banjo and
mandolin duet by Herman Won Berne-
witz and Franklin C. Anderson, an ac-
Gordon solo by Rachel Storer who also
provided piano accompaniment for the

a group Of selections which included two
Russian folk songs. Black Eyes and
"Polianka":: Gillette's "Au Moulin, y
Francke's "Intermezzo," and concluded
with the march, "Zacatecas."
For the second part Of their pro-
gram the glee club chose group OF
, selections from the Gilbert and Suli-
! van score Of "Pinafore, which naturally
included the buttercup's singing and

credit for that, it was the sum total OF
their work that deserves comme endation.
There was distinct style in what they

/ their teacher in the fact that they sang
as if this style was entirely their own
and personal expression. Poiso, finish

/ these are some of the results Of Their
good training. There was an artistic
/ turn to even the simplest song that
/ was most satisfying and finish that
many public singers have not acquired.
/ However, side by side with sincere
! pleasure in the generally fine singing
was a sense of disappointment that
some fragrant faults were permitted to
remain. The unforgivable tremolo was
present in the voices of some of the best

might have been evident were directly

my AssoeIatea Press,

P0MEROY, Ohio, Sept. 49,
When road building of the fed
eral public works program gets
fully underway it probably will
mean few more big bites taken
out of islands that dot the chan
mel of the Ohio river.
Many of these islands are CON-
posed almost entirely of gravel
and sand, and many of them are
owned by sand and gravel COM
panies.
Eight Mile island, bought a few
years ago. has almost disappeared
as a result of sand and gravel
being hauled to the mainland for
roads.
Letart island is considerably
diminished, and extensive opera
tons are being carried on at Buff
fington island where the Morgan
raiders made their last stand in
civil war time, historic Blenner-
hassett island where Aaron Burr
was alleged to have plotted, and
Goose island.

GATES DID MOUND DUTY FOR
WINNERS WITH WALKER
IN BOX FOR CUBS; GAME
RESULTED IN SCORE OF 3D.
(By JOyE)

The Lopez Funeral Home dia,
mondball team won another bal
game at the Bayview Park last
night, defeating the Cubs 8 to A.
Clarence lSmiling Willie)
Gates was on the firing line fol-
the Embalmers and although he
got credit for pitching a one-hit
game, was far from usual form.
He was hit hard and often but
his teammates gave him class A
sport, fielding brilliantly and
knocking down balls that were
going for sure hits.
The Cubs only hit of the game,
a scratch one, came in the last
half of the eighth inning when
Lucilo Gonzalez hit a slow ground
er in back of the pitcher. Cheta
Baker, playing deep shortstop,
came in in high gear but could not
field the ball in time to make a
put out and made several at
tempts to kick the ball to first
base while the runner had in the
meantime raced passed the bag.
Realizing he could not catch the
runner at first, he evidently kick
ed the ball so that he would get
credit for an error and thereby
the teams pitcher would have ac-
complished a no-hit game.
John little john Walker,
pitching his first game of the sea-
son, hurled nice ball for the Cubs
and had he gotten better support
the score surely would have read
differently. He held the Funer-
al lads to three clean hits and a
trio Of the scratch variety.
Clarence, Gates almost set a
record of issuing bases on balls
in last nights contest. He was
chalked up with having given
eleven free passes.
