Featuring the seldom heard
French horn Concerto by Richard
Strauss, Capt. Taylor Branson
conducted the U. S. Marine Band
Symphony Orchestra in the last
concert of the season last night
at the Marine Barracks.
Richard Strauss, in writing a
concerto for the French horn, was
doubtless inspired to compose a
pretentiouS work for the inStru-
ment because his father was a
fine performer on it. Musician
Richard Schumann played the
concerto with a fine sense of mu-
steamship. The solo calls for a
wide range and flexible lip and
occasional fast passages. all of
which were negotiated with ease
by the soloiSt.
The string sections of the Or
cheStra were shown to good ad-
vantage in the Mozart work,

SPORT SLAMS

The injury to Third Baseman Frank Higgins of the Athletics was unfortunate, but if the accident hadn't happened Connie Mack might not have discovered that he had in Russell Peters one of the best looking youngsters to come up in the American League.
 As it was, Connie was desperate and was forced to gamble on the untried Peters. The youngster from Albany, of the International League, was just one of the many obscure rockies on the roster at training camp. His minor league record was but impressive. But when he stepped into Frank Higgins spot at third he did neat job of filling the veterans shoes. He fielded his position every bit as well as Hig- gins had, and at the plate hit well above the .310 mark which the latter was batting when forced to the sidelines.
 Rogers Hornsby, Manager of the St. Louis Browns, picked Peters and Buddy Lewis of the Senators as the two best-looking prospects to come up in the American League this season. Peters had brief try out with the Senators in 1883, but Clark Griffith was not impressed. With Albany last season he hit mere PIP in 83 games. He's a big fellow and plenty fast.
 No one will begrudge Connie his find.

The bureau now has authority to deal with virtually all crime of an interstate character, such as ex- tortion, Kidnapping and bank rob- ping, where the criminals cross State lines in their operations.

beat Wesley Terrell and the Bos- ton Red Sox. He has won two vic- tories already and looks like a real pitcher
 Kelley had been knocking around in professional ball for long time thirteen years to be exact. Eleven were spent in the Southern League. Mack picked the pitcher up last fall in the draft after he had won g games while losing l3 for At lanta. He worked in A games, pitching 3l9 innings
 Years ago, Kelley had a trial with the New York Giants but fail ed to make an impression on John McGraw His curve was not enough, he was told He needed speed, or something to take the place of speed For years he struggled to master the knuckle- ball. When he finally developed his knuckler to the point where it was valuable weapon, big league scouts passed him up as bit too old for the big show
 Nearly Overlooked
 The chances are that Connle Mack would have passed Kelley up, just as the others had, had it not been for the fact that he was able to pick him up cheap at the draft price. And then Kelley turn ed up a winnerl There are sur prises to this game of baseball, even to an old-timer like Connie Mack
 Plenty of Southern League ob- servers rate Kelley as a better pitcher than Al Milnar, the Cleve- land rookie who was a sensation in the Southern League last season with string of IT consecutive vic- tories. Kelleys earned run average of 2.5 would indicate that he was a pretty good bet out there on the mound.
