Putting on a squirt in the tenth
inning last night the Brawley Ea-
giles scored three runs to give them
a 6-3 victory over the Studebakers
of the local nightball league. Bob
Fowler pitched for the visitors and
made a good job of it holding the
Studies to four hits and setting IL
of them down by the strikeout
route.
This was an exhibition game as
the Studebakers had been schedul-
ed to play the Golden State team
of the local league but since the
withdrawal of that team from the
league competition all its remain

GIANTS FEAR

BY THEoN WRIGHT
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Aug. %. The
champion New York Giants will
meet a coupe Of hard hombres
from Lucas. Ark. at Sportsman s
Park, st. Louis during the next day
or so. and the champions are not
at all certain about the outcome.
In fact, If the Giants are certain
about anything. il is that the out
come will be bad for the Giants.
The two fellows are the Dean boys,
Paul and jerome Herman. They
pitch for st. Louis, and when they
pitch against the Giants they prsc-
tically always win.
During the present season, the
Deans have won eight games against
the Giants-four each. st. Louis
is the only club holding an edge
in games over New York, nine to
six: and the Giants ha/e not de-
feated a Dean this year.
The probability is that jerome
Herman Dizzy Dean will be en-
tered today against the New York
ers. so the Giants have about de-
cided to lose this one.

land performer, brought his new
outfit. the Boston Red Sox, TO with

The beautiful theater of the Folger
Library, duplicating the environment
in which Shakespeare produced his
plays, formed a charming and colorful
background for such a presentation.
The program was furnished by the
Ypsilanti Singers, conducted by Fred
erick Alexander, and John Challis,
harpsichordist, who also played three
tunes on the recorder. The artists
further added to the sixteenth century
atmosphere by appearing IN varied
hued costumes of the period and by
the informal manner in which they
presented the program.
As lords and ladies Of that early
day, the singers leisurely entered in
groups Of two and seated themselves
before the conductor, Mr.. Alexander.
With no apparent searching after
pitch, they began to sing easily and
with soft. unforced tonal quality. The
singing Of this group OF singers is as
perfectly attuned as the chords Of an
instrument and as perfect In unison
attack. The voices run the gamut
from clear. high-pitched soprano to
warm resonant bass and are as ex-
cellently proportioned as the well
matched pipes of an organ.
The volume Of sound Of the ensemble
singing Is kept to natural guam
tity, splendidly gauged for the size
of the theater, and the greatest charm
of their singing is the sweet, full
and yet restrained tone. The program
offered such contrasts as the gay
"Rota; Sumer Is Icumen In," the two
ballads, "On the Plains" by Thomas
Weelkes. and Now Is the Month of
Maying." Morley, and Purcell's offer
