ticularly pretty work. The closing
number was Moussorgsky's Joshua -
in which the chorus made good cli-
makes, the volume of tone. its rich
ness and depth. remarkable for so
small group of singers. Miss Nor
rison, at the piano, gave the proper
support, though in the forte passages
bit too loud.
Miss Niemann did some beautiful
work last evening in the lighter num-
bers, where delicacy of fingers was
needed, such as in the Garden Mu-
sic." written by her brother, Walter
Niemann, which she was obliged to
repeat. It is an interesting compo-
sition and she played it beautifully,
while her playing of Momtou's
"Jeunes Files aux Jardin" and Pin
to'S Core Core" also was beautiful
in its clarity and delicacy. K. B.

CHORUS AND SOLOIST
APPEAR IN CONCERT
Interstate Male Organization,
With Mrs. Willett, Gives
Excellent Program.

THE INTERSTATE MALE CHORUS,
the choral section of the In
CONGO Club, gave its thirty eighth
concert last evening in the auditorium
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce. Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison is
the conductor, and last evenings con-
cert was the second of the organiza-
tion's fourteenth season. The club
presented Mary Knox Willett, soprano,
as its soloist, and she not only sang
an aria from Puccini's La Boheme,"
but a group of songs, as well as the
solo part in Rossini's "Inflammatus." :"
Mrs Willett has a light, high voice
which scared beautifully above the
chorus of mems voices and her songs
were popular with the large audience,
whose favor she further won by play
ing her own accompaniment for her
encores.
The chorus, composed of 40, is well
balanced and sings with good tone,
shading and legato, the phrases well

"Where'er You Walk" from Handels
"Semele" arranged for mems voices
by Charles Gilbert Spross, was beau
tifully sung with an understanding
of the music. The pianissimo pas
sages were delicate, but always clear,
and the climaxes frequently stirring.
"Infammatus" for male chorus and
soprano, sung last evening as the
closing number, was arranged by Mr..
Aitchison, the director, and was one
of the most effective numbers on the
program.
The concert was not without its
ceremony, as preceding the opening
of the program, the chorus sang 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" a custom
dropped at the close of the war, and
at the close of the program they sang
"Ecce Guam Bonum," written for the
chorus by F. Dominic Waedenschwiler.

Practically any snatch of impor-

such contingency since he received a

s. M. GAYLORD DIES; BODY IS
 IN BATH TUB
Prominent Seattle and Nome Mining Man Pass
 es Away in Yakima

YAKIMA, Wash, Dec. l0.-S. M. Gaylord. aged about 60 years, well-known Nome and Seattle min ing man, was found dead in a tub of water in his bathroom in the Donnelly Hotel when attend ants went to arouse him.
 The coroner will perform a post mortem to determine whether Gay lord died as the result of a frac- tured skull or was drowned.
 Gaylord came here from Seattle with c. A. Peplow, also of Seattle, and made appointments to see sev- eral persons. When he failed to keep the appointments and did not respond to telephone calls, also noting a light in his hotel suite, attendants entered and found the body in the bathtub.
 Gaylord lived part of each year in Alaska and spent the winters in Seattle. He was a veteran sour dough. He went to Nome as a prospector 35 years ago and re- gently made moderate wealth by operating a dredge in the Casa Depaga district, 20 miles north Of Nome.
 Gaylord was admitted to the bar but never practiced law. He was a widower. A brother resides in Saginaw, Michigan.
 Gaylord was prominent in the Arctic Club, of Seattle, Alaska Yukon Pioneers and Seattle Metal Association.

Rounding into their final week of play in the first half of the season, four City Basketball League teams will take the Juneau High School floor tomorrow night in the next the-last double header of the fall and early winter season Friday nights double bill, also in the prep gym, will conclude tine first half play.
 Tomorrow night pits the Moose against the DeMolay five at 7:30 o'clock and the two rival fire de- partment quintets from Douglas and Juneau in a renewal of their traditional argumen at 8:30 o'clock.
 The DeMolays have two games to go. By spilling both the Moose and Douglas Firemen-whom they meet on Friday-the fraternal club can tie Krause's Concreters for second place but can't hope for a title chance unless Juneau High School can upset the present league-lead- ing George Brother club later this week.
 The second go tomorrow will be interesting simply from tradition al rival standpoint, as neither team can hope for little else than glory by winning. However mathemati- cally speaking, the Douglas club is in the same situation as the De- Molays.

BOWLING TURNS ''HOT" AT ELKS
 ALLEY MATCHES
All Three Saturday Night Engagements Prove
 Close Affairs

Perhaps it was the recent an- nouncement of all those wonderful prizes to be offered at the con- clusion of league play-but some thing certainly made the bowling competition at Elks' Alleys sizzling hot Saturday when c League ten- pin artists went through their paces All three matches went the 2-to-1 route before decisions were reached, and, although no records were broken, the bowling was on a high average plane.
 The Mojuds opened the play by nosing out the Agfa Sure Shots with 511-502 victory in the final frame. This 511 total, incidentally, was the high team single game tally of the evening. Bowling for the losers, M. H. Sides clicked off the best mems three-game score by totaling 568. The losers claim ed the high three-game team tally of 1,431.
 In the second match, although Mrs. Art Bringdale hit ATT and ITS for the best women's figures of the evening, the Spark Oil Heat CTS had to bow to the Amocats when the latter team rallied to take the final two tilts-one game by four pins and the other by three.
 The final engagement went to Smith Coronas over the Kaysers.. with Ed Radde's 203 single game score, best of the evening for the men, aiding the winners
 The A League will open the weeks play tonight with the fol- lowing, three games: S. & w. vs. Hotpoints at 7:30 o'clock; Sauibbs vs. Happy Homes at 8::30 o'clock; Walkover vs. Hart Schaffner & Marx at 9:30 o'clock.

With but one more week left to play, big Paul Brown, Sharpshoot- ing forward for Krause's Con- creterS, has taken the individual scoring lead.

McPhee, who has one more tilt to play, is in second posi- tion with 75 points, an average of Is points per game in five appear ances. However, Bayers, third place man with 72 points, has the best chance of all. He has an l8- point average, and has two games left to play.

TEAM SCORING LISTED

Offensively, the league-leading George Brothers team continues to lead the loop. The Green Shirts have tallied 232 points in five games for a ASA point average. However, Krause's Concreters have stepped into the picture since the last averages were published, as the best defensive team. The Concreters have averaged, in six games, 25l points scored against them.
 The second high-scoring average honors go to DeMolays, who boast a neat figure of AS points per game. The second best defensive team is the Douglas Fire Depart ment, which has permitted but 27.2 points per contest.
