AlI-Di Mag OutfieId
Now Out of Order

For little while last month there
was rumor that the New York
Yankees would perpetuate their con-
troll of the American League by
fielding complete outfield of Di
Maggios, with Joe in center, Vincent
In right and Dominick in left. This
seemed possible because they had
Joe already. Vincent was playing for
the Yankee farm in Kansas City.
and Dominick was accessible to the
highest bidder, which might we'll
have turned out to be the Yanks.
The Yankees themselves smashed
this rosy Roman dream last week
when they sold Vincent to the Gin
cinnati Reds for $4,000. 1910 deliv-
cry. The day of the all-Di Maggie
'outfield is postponed indefinitely
There is silver lining, however, for
the deal means that Vince will re-
turn to the big leagues to determine
once and for all whether iris
Speaker was right in announcement
A Or announcement B.
The alleged announcement c.
that there are Is better outfelders in
the game today than Joe Di Maggie
was obviously CANNON, and I
am glad to see that Mr. Speaker
himself the greatest outfelder of
Yesterday, renounces every part of
it. Taking all departments of the
game into account-hitting run
ming, fielding and throwing-Joseph
is the best outfelder we have and
the most valuable single baseball
player in the game.

versity School of Education in 1882,
he appointed Julius Martin assistant

that coIored man had been named to
such an important post in a large
American University. Later Mr..
Welch conting&d to show his regard
for his colores% friends by appointing
Moses Cisco as assistant trainer to the

as required reading in which there were
expressions and terms highly obnoxi-
Gus to colored people Atty. Robinson
Of friendship to the colored people were
pointed to the fact that all these acts
done by Atty. Welch long before he
thought of engaging in politics.
Mrs. Edna Goodell spoke of the need
for greater interest on the part of
colored people in those who would
serve on the school committee. She
said that she would do all within her
power to help Mr.. Welch win a posi-
ton on the School Committee at the
November 7 election.

Russian artist now a naturalized cit

scribed as IAN isolated and unique
importation of eccentric genius from
an alien race-a phenomena OF the

Burliuk, we are told. came to us

one of the first expressionists in

pendonck and Marc" After arriv-

difficulties imposed by an economic
depression and being very individual

Bernice Cross. after an intermis-
sion of less than four months since
her. sole exhibition at the Phillips
Memorial Gallery. is having another
at the Little Gallery, Georgetown,
to remain through April Is. Com
prising % items, the majority oil
paintings with few gouaches, the
exhibition is almost entirely new,
which indicates that Miss Cross
must be a very industrious painter.
1t will be recalled that most, if not
all. of her Phillips Gallery group
was exhibited in January in New
York City at Contemporary Arts,
her first solo display in the metrop-
oils. Only three of those paintings
are included in the present exhi-
bition and among them is: School
House" which one New York critic
considered her best piece" It is
undoubtedly a telling capture of
the dreary monotony to be found
in some rural schools.
The expression of an idea or
emotional concept is perhaps the
outstanding characteristic of this
painters work. The majority of
her paintings tell story or at least
convey a mood or message. The
moods range from gaiety. whimsy
and irony to a tender pathos. At
times the artists idea outdistances
her technical expression of it.
Reminiscent of Rousseau.
At first sight one may classify
her work as primitive or child art.
Its content in such canvases as
Sunday Afternoon") may remind
one of Henri Rousseau. But close
scrutiny of Miss Cross paintings
will invariably reveal some unob-
trusive feature that indicates she
is painting with her tongue in her
cheek. Her handling is primitive,
but her viewpoint is sophisticated.
Pickaninnies are among her sub
jects, judging from her frequent
utilization of them, sometimes hu-

dealing with still life. protraits and
landscapes. The works are hung
according to medium; the observer
sees the two artists output side by
side instead of isolated, and they
make remarkably homogeneous
showing. Nevertheless. certain dis
tinctions are apparent. Mr.. Trois
favors soft colors, grayed colors and
broader handling, while Mr.. Robert
son uses brighter colors and more
detail. These distinctions are more
evident in their still life than in
other types of subject matter: in
cidentally, the former is the best
executed work of each artist. One
is not surprised to learn that Mr..
Trois received prizes for still life
in Mrs. Leisenring's class, while Mr..
Robertson was awarded first prize
for composition in Eugen Weisz's
class. Both painters show a few
works done in the Corcoran classes.
Pleasing Decorations.
Mr.. Trois has several beautiful
arrangements: "Silver Solemnity."
STUDY in Rose and Green" (and
orange), Ship Model" and wooden
Shoes" all of them pleasing deco
rations. Mr.. Robertson's Still Life
With Calendulums" is his best in
this type of work; his careful define
alton of objects in China Teapot"
has much to commend 1t. except
that the teapot seems to recede into
the tapestry behind it.
Mr.. Robertson shows a larger
number of landscapes both in oils
and water color; he was the recipi-
ent Of Tiffany Foundation Schol-
arship and painted last summer or
Long Island. However, two views
Of Rock Creek, one in oil, the other
IN water color, impress one as per-
haps the best examples of his land
scape work. OF his portraits Girl
in Orange Jacket" is the freshest in
color and has the most individuality.
Mr.. Robertson was recently awarded
a mural commission by the Govern
ment.
Both artists are employed by The
Evening Star photoengraving de-
partment and a few examples of
their commercial art are shown,
along with etchings and drawings
in pen and pencil. Their graphic
art is generally clean cut and COM
petently executed.

utilize local talent, but when so
large a sum is involved the compe-
tition is, as in this instance, thrown
open to all the artists of the coun-

There are II competitions being

which 1924 artists are entered col
