By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, December 5.-The
Nj Brooklyn Dodgers announced
today the sale of Arthur
CRed) Herring, right-handed
pitcher obtained from Beaumont last
Winter, to the Sacramento club Of
the Pacific Coast League. 1t was a
straight cash deal and, says Manager
Casey Stengel, just a small part Of
the rebuilding campaign he plans.
The Dodgers have been quietly un-
loading excess baggage since the end
of the National League season and
now, Stengel says, they are ready to
90 some swapping. Casey wouldn't
tell what deals he wants to make
when the major leagues hold their
annual meeting, but he admitted he
had some plans and that the trades
he tried TO make at the minor league
gathering at Louisville didn't go
through.

1--WE got a half dozen boys I'd like
q to let go in trades" he said, but
you can't make trades if the boys
aren't satisfied or if the other parties
in the deals aren't satisfied"
Casey was very emphatic about one
thing, however-Van Lingle Mungo,
his star right handed pitcher, isn't
on the block Mungo can be bought
at a price, but that price is 100000.
The Red Sox paid something like
Sl50,000 for Joe Cronin," he COM
mented, land he's only a shortstop.
One of the first things I learned in
base ball was that pitcher is more
important than a shortstop or any
other infelder or outfielder."

BOY ARTIST WINS
CONCERT AUDIENCE
Stanley Milton Weiner's Vio'
lin Sensation of National
Symphony Orchestra.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The second Students Concert of the
National Symphony Orchestra yester-
day morning brought to the attention
of the public a new and noteworthy
small artist in the person of Stanley
! Milton Weiner. Master Weiner is a
number, with orchestra accompaniment,
was Scene de Ballet" by de Beriot.
The young artist, for such he must
already be called for his serious talent,
created something of sensation. Be-
hind the technical proficiency which
he showed was the evidence OF real
musical nature which guided him to
the right feeling for Interpretation, and
which is the groundwork on which his
future as an artist can be developed.
Excellent Training Shows.
He played yesterday with assurance
and finish and seemed to know exactly
what he was about and what he
wished to accomplish. Excellent train
ing has given him well developed left
hand and a solid bowling which was
advanced enough to permit of a firm
staccato that an older pupil might envy.
His intonation was excellent through
out and his sense of rhythm accurate,
while his poise and seriousness were
rare pleasure to see. The degree OF
shadings necessary were fully under
stood by him and further demonstrated
his musical feeling.
Master Weiner can go very far II, In
the next eight years of his life. he can
accomplish proportionately as much as
he has already done. His talent is not
that of merely precocious child, for
one can sense from every angle the
valuable ingredients that can make him
a great artist at a none too far off day.
When that time comes his interested
listeners of today can look back on the
occasion when a serious little boy with
large orchestra following his every
indication, gave his first public evi
dence of a fine musical talent In
composition that might hold many
tricky moments for so young an artist.
Master Weiner was thunderously ap-
plauded and recalled by an audience
that would have delighted in an encore
had the time permitted.
Papas Second Soloist.
The second artist of the morning was
Sophocles Papas, well known for his
artistic work on fretted instruments.
Mr.. 4Papas brought with him several of
the varied instruments he uses to DEM
onstrate their tonal possibilities to the
audience. The antiquity of the lutte was
proved by a photograph of the lutte
found engraved on an ancient Egyptian
obelisk and Mr.. Papas told its history
from before the time of Moses. A
short composition written expressly for
the lutte by Bach was played by Mr..
Papas. A brief story of the two forms
of the mandolin, the banjo and the
guitar was next told and Chopin's C
minor prelude" and Merta's Fantasy"
were played by Mr.. Papas on the guitar.
The contrasting moods of the two solos
amply demonstrated his virtuosity,
which is both brilliant and artistic.
His instruments, while not included in
those of the orchestra. aroused great
interest and were as important to know
about as those presented at other con-
certs in this SERIES
