The Guidite World
Of Music
Conductor Walter Damrosch
By Miss Ethel one

OF great interest is the life of
DIR. Walter Damrosch, eminent
conductor and musical educator of
today.
DR.. Damrosch was born January
8, 1862 at Breslan, Prussia, the
son of DR.. Leopold Damrosch, con
ductor and Wagner protagonist.
He was unsteady educated under
his father, Wilhelm Rischbeiter and
Hans Won Bulow. In 1871 he came
to America with his father, on
whose death in 1885 he became as
sistant conductor of the German
opera company of New York, and
musical director of the Oratoria
Society and the symphony society
in 1890 he founded the Damrosch
Opera company for the production
of Wagner works in America; in
1896 he gave the first American
performance of "Parisfal" in con
cert form; and he has made such
contributions to our national mu-
steal art. He received from Colum-
bia university the degree of Doctor
of Music in 1914; and from Prince
ton university the same degree in
1920. His opera, THE Scarlet Let
ter" was produced by the Dam
rosch Opera company on February
10, 1896 in Boston, "Cyrano de
Bergerac' had its world prfemere
by the Metropolitan Opera com
pany on February 81, 1918; and
1.-THE Man Without a Country by
the same company, on May IL,
1887. Through his radio activities,
DR.. Damrosch has added immense
~ to his services to American mu-
steal culture, to which he has been
perhaps the most notable contri-
butor.

Catch Penny

Catch Penny
Place on your elbow three or
four penny pieces in a heap, then
drop your elbow suddenly so as
to bring your hand rather below
the place where your elbow was
and try 70 catch the money before
1t falls to the ground. A few trials
will enable you to perform this

The Finger Jump

The performer holds a stick
horizontally between the fore fin
gers of his hands pressing with
the fingers to keep it from falling.
Keeping the stick in this position,
he should jump over it forward
then backward. The same feat may
be performed by pressing together
the middle fingers of the two hands
without a stick and jumping over
them forward and backward, as
a dog jumps through the curved
arms.

may develop, after all these
years, that Pitcher Eddie
~ Linke will assume new i'm
portance to the Nationals and
not necessarily because of any marked
improvement in his hurting.
Not often since the days that Bucky
Harris used to send Dutch Reuther
and Walter Johnson parading to the
plate has the Washington ball club
used pitcher as a pinch-hitter. That,
however, is the thought currently in
mind down here as the Griffs pre-
pare to break camp.
Ever since Linke first came up with
the Mats, he's been a good hitting
pitcher. But they never used him as
a pinch-hitter. OF course, there was
Dave Harris, at one time, and Cliff
Bolton. The idea of using Linke never
struck home, even as recent as last
year, when Linke was credited with
one OF the two longest home runs ever
hit In Comiskey Park in Chicago.
There he actually drove, on line,
over the center field bleachers. Only
Ruth had preceded him at this feat.
Now, in the wake of a series Of
sGrapefruit League" batting exhibit
tions by young Mr.. Linke, the idea OF
doubled dutying him is beginning to
ErOw.

I had the same luck pitching"
With Al Simmons now playing left
Geld. it is likely that Fred Sington,
Jesse Hill and Johnny Mihalic will
do most Of the Washington pinch
hitting unless, of course, Skipper
Harris decides to give Linke a real
ning. Nobody who has watched Sing
ton and Hill at bat this year is will
ing to bet they are better hitters
than Linke As for Mihalic, he has
been batting leader so far, but
there is no doubt but that he's been
hitting over his head.
Linkes pitching has been not as
consistent as his hitting. Buck New
som, often in hot water, but always
eetting out. turned over 3-to-1
lead to Linke in the seventh inning
yesterday, but Ed couldn't hold it.
In the eighth the Cards jumped him
for three hits. These, plus an error
by Hill. produced two runs and tied
It up at 33.
It looked dark in the Card ninth
when Jimmy Brown doubled with one
down, but Linke pulled out of 1t
and then, with Harris permission
~bunted" his triple to break up the
game.

Pulls Reynolds" on Cards.

IT WAS Linke who personally &C
counted for the swapping Of Wash
hgton's four-game losing streak here
yesterday. Tied at 3-3 with the Car
dinals, our side went into the ninth
inning and Walter Miles singled.
The logical play was a sacrifice,
especially with the pitcher up. Linke
got a bunt sign. He let ball go.
Bucky Harris. suddenly struck by a
happy thought, Cancelled the bunt
sign and ordered Ed to swing at the
next good pitch. He did, met it fairly,
and the ball screamed to left-center,
burying in the bushes and breaking
up the game. The score was As,
Linke having to stop at third, mas
much as his drive was ground
rule triple.
The play was strikingly similar to
that which Harris used to win the
opening game of the 1885 season.
Carl Reynolds was the man he then
ordered to hit, after first giving q
sacrifice sign with a man on base and
nobody out. Reynolds doubled to win
10 victory for Buck Newsom.

Consider, if you please. the cases Of

Opposites If ever there were any, are
these two. Weaver needs weight.
Hogan needs reducing For years
their prayers for new figures were un-
answered.
Today Monte is no physical culture
model. Seemingly he is almost as
thin and anemic as ever, hut he
isn't. Mont, Weaver has his fast ball
back! He is only five pounds under
his weight of 1882 when he set the
American League on fire as the rookie
pitching sensation of the year!
Today Hogan is no sylph. A stom-
ach still protrudes. But Shanty, for
the first time in years, can throw over

he has been any time since his heyday
with John McGraw's Giants!

Can't Do Much More.

THAT triple yesterday hasn't been
the sum of Linke's accomplish
ments with the stick The boy who
led the Washingtons in batting last
year walked up to the plate in the
ninth inning of a game with Chatta-
nooga last Thursday. The score was
4-3 in favor of 'Nooga, but he prompt
iy tied 1t up with a terrific home run
out Of the park and forced the Look
outs to go into extra innings to win.
Prior to that he helped the Griffs
stage a four-run rally late in a game
against Baltimore and win, Ga On
his first trip to the plate the Grifts
were trailing, AZ. He singled to start
o rally that netted run and made 1t
4-3. On his second time at bat Ed
singled again, driving across the tying
run and placing the winning one in
scoring position. He later scored
himself.
In short, Linke has appeared in four
games this Spring and walked to bat
six times Once he hit home run,
once a triple, twice he singled. once
he walked and only one time was he
retired. He scored twice himself and
drove across three runs. This is hard
