Baritone to Give
Concert Tomorrow
At Mayfower

A special feature of the concert
to be given by Garfield Swift, BARI
tone, assisted by the Pro-Musica
String Quartet and Evalyn Tyner,
pianist, at the Mayflower Hotel to-
morrow afternoon will be the per-
Torrance of Sibelius' "Finlandia." 4"
The. version used on the program,
which is being given for the bene-
fit of Finnish relief, is an arrange
ment for voice, string quartet and
piano by John Alden Finckel, we'll
known cells and composer Of this
city.
Mr.. Finckel made the transcript
ton especially for this concert
when the English translation Of
one OF the many Finnish texts
written to the symphonic poem will
be used. Mr.. Finckel has divided
his arrangement into a string quar-
tet introduction after which the
voice takes up the theme to the
quartet accompaniment. An inter-
lude for strings alone leads to the
finale where the voice is joined by
the instrumental combination of
strings and piano.
"Finlandia." the orchestral poem
by which the great Finnish COM
poser, Jean Sibelius, is most widely
known, was written in 1899 as in
cidental music for series OF
tableaux staged on patriotic occa-
sions in Helsingfors. The subjects
were taken from Finnish mythology
and history The stirring, national
character Of the music had such
influence on its listeners that its
public performance was forbidden
under the Russian regime.
Mr.. Swift will open the program
with a group of songs by Scam
dinavian composers sung in the
original languages. The Pro-Mu-
sica String Quartet. Milton

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 17-1f it
isn't one thing, it's another that
keeps Joe Krakauskas from becom-
ing a winning pitcher for the
Nationals. Usually it is wildness.
Sometimes it is flaws in the Wash
ington defense or lack of offensive
support In the second game of
the series with Detroit here yester-
day it was a combination OF the
three. The score was 9 to-.
Krakauskas' control was not what
it should have been but even so,
he might have given Buck NewSom
battle If two errors by George
Case had not tossed three runs into
the Tigers total. The Canadian
left-hander departed after three in
nings, with the score 6-to-O against
him, but half of the Detroit runs
could have been averted If Cases
fielding on two plays had been even
ordinary. Krakauskas might have
survived until the Mats rallied for
two runs in the seventh. Then the
whole complexion of the game would
have been changed.
Only One Earned Run.
Detroit got two runs off Krakaus-
kas in the second inning but only
one was earned. With two out, Pete
Fox walked and Birdie Tebbetts
singled. Newsom followed with a
single to center, scoring Fox, and
when Case let the ball roll through
his legs, Tebbetts also came home.
Dick Bartell ended the inning with
a grounder to Jimmy Pofahl.
In the third the Tigers added four
runs, half of them on Cases second
misplay. After Barney McCosky
