BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The big mer-
ry-go-round of the major league
baseball meeting had just about run
down last night when the st. Louis
Cardinals suddenly turned Johnny
Mize over to the New York Giants
and there was the deal for which
bosses of the 16 clubs had been
watching since Monday.
Coming as it did, the move found
most of the major league chiefs al
ready homeward bound. but not
Branch Hickey of the Cardinals and
Bill Terry of the Giants.
Hickey let go of his big slugging
first baseman only after Terry had
promised to hand over Catcher Ken
O'Dea and Pitcher Bill Lohrman-
plus a chunk of cash of unstated
denomination. ODea had played in
only SO Giant games and Lohrman
had won only nine of 19 decisions
last season, so Terry figured he
could spare the boys, and Hickey
knew what he'd do about the Card
inal first base job.
Coming up from Columbus is Ray
Sanders. a competent first Sacker,
and from Rochester, Johnny Hopp,
nominally an outfielder but young
ster who also can handle first base
Regarding O'Dea. Hickey said he
needed a catcher and liked the
loAlyc af o1cn ic
luctant to take the other fellows
spare cash.
Yesterdays other developments
reflected the chieftains' concern
over the Nations involvement in
the war, an item that detracted
considerably from their efforts to
discuss baseball. They set up a s25,-
900 fund to buy diamond equipment
for service training camps, and
agreed to turn over receipts from
the annual all-star game for the
same purpose. thus assuring final
kitty of about S125,000.
The combined leagues also re-
neWed an annual appropriation of
$4,000 to American Legion junior
baseball teams.
Possibly with one eye turned to
potential blackouts, the owners
voted to continue with seven night
games for each club, turning down
a Plan To- HeTnlt il, Some Eastern
bosses SexKessed the opinion no
night games would be permitted by
the Government.
Hickey had a late evening date
with P. K. Wrigley. Chicago Cubs
owner and one of those most inter-
ested in acquiring Mize. But after
the Cards boss and Terry had COM
pleted their transaction, there was
nothing for Rickey and Wrigley
to discuss, and the appointment
was called off.

Marion TaIIey Charges

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 6.-The mar
ital troubles of Marion Talley, for
mer Metropolitan Opera star, have
brought coast-to-coast court action.
In an amended divorce complaint
here, Miss Talley charged that her
husband, Adolph G. Eckstrom, voice

Scotto, film director; Arthur Rosen-
stein, musician; Jean Sablon, singer,
and John S. Keith, her attorney.

her motion for dismissal of Mr.. Eek
strom's separation suit, and for dis
missal of that part of his suit re-
lati1fg to his effort to gain control
of their 5-year-old daughter Betty
Ruth.
A previous judgment awarded Miss

and more genuine inspiration thar
is usually the case of writers in the
modern idiom.
That he had a gift for melody was
to be found in the quartet, where
its haunting quality was beautifully
distributed between the four instru-
ments. His writing is fluent and
richly harmonized with a develop
ment of thought along lines logical
musically and with remarkable re-
gard for the combinations of inStru-
ments for which he was composing
The quartet is strong, as are all of
his works, and glowing with poetic
fire.
The sonata brings a series of
exotic harmonies for the piano
against which is a rather mournful
soliloquy by the violin. The blend
ing of the two is individualistic and
creative of an original atmospheric
color. The sonata was composed
in 1882, II years after the quartet,
and dedicated to Mrs. Coolidge. Mr..
Bridges ability to write in compact
form was best illustrated in the sex
tet, which was in highly imaginative
vein in spite of its robustness.
Spontaneity, poetic sensitiveness
and passionate strength are united
in each of these works. For many
years Mr. Bridge was a member of
several chamber music groups and
the understanding of tonal balance
and the effective use of the four
instruments is reflected in his COM
positions.
The Coolidge String Quartet
played with better ensemble and
finer tone than ever before. There
is warmer color and greater
smoothness in their performance of
the quartet and the sextet where
they were joined by the three guest
lnStrumentalistS. The playing of
Mr.. Knoll and Mr.. Sheridan of the
sonata had sweep and fire, Mr..
Kroll's tone responding with I'M
usual richness to the urge of the
music. During the performance of
the sonata, the lights in the audi
forum went out. but the two artists
continued without moments hest
tation, reading the music by aid of
dim reflection from the side of the
stage until the trouble was remedied
A fair size but enthusiastic audience
was present.

Emphasis on the development of

that IL of the new contractees had

Ten of the newcomers are girls

Quartet Gives
Works of
Bridge
Memorial Program
Shows Composers
Gift for Melody
BY ALICE EVERSTdAN.

In memory of the English COM
poser, Frank Bridge, who died a
short time ago, a concert of his
chamber music works was given last
evening at the Library of Congress
under the Elizabeth Sprague Cool
idge Foundation. Just three years
ago Mr. Bridge was awarded the
Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge medal
at the founders day concert for his
work in the chamber music field,
He had long been associated with
Mrs. Coolidge in her various activi-
of modern composers in this particu-
lar branch of music. The artists
last evening were the members of
the Coolidge String Quartet, William
Knoll and Jack Pepper, violins;
Nicolas Moldavan, viola, and Vic
tor Gottlieb, cello. assisted by Re-
becca Clarke, VIOLA Sterling Hun
kins, cello. and Frank Sheridan,
piano.
Three representative works were
chosen for this program-the String
Quartet in G Minor" the Sonata
for violin and piano" and the Sex
tet for two violinS, two violaS and
two celloS." This was the first OPP
portunity offered whereby a COM
prehensive idea of Mr.. Bridges Gre
alive talent could be had, for the
performances of a single work of
his previously could but indicate a
gift of superior quality. Yesterday,
however, it was evident that here
was a composer whose works con-
tanned more vitality more originality
