You can do. my dear Captain

Composing Concert Music
Found to Be Improbable

Composing concert music in
the United States is so un-
profitable that even the most sue
cessful composers have to earn
their livelihood in another occupa-
ton, says Golfers. A major or
chestra pays only from $25 to $50
for the right to perform a SYM
phonic work, while most choral
societies, small orchestras and
chamber = music groups seldom
pay anything.
One famous symphony, although
performed many times by lead
ing orchestras, earned only SITS,
or $3.50 less than the composers
expenses.

from good to dreadful and in hand

to frequent belief, she did not have
to manufacture the epistles she an

yes. Usually they were very dull.
But as for %inventing them-well,
hardly ever.
Efficiently she slit open the enve-
lopes and stacked the letters for
reading. Those she might use went
into the wire basket and those that
were hopeless she tossed away. Oc-

she compressed her lips. House

She found a description of a moth

badly handled. The writer naively
supposed that only she had ever

tell her differently, she thought. The

The morning had nearly slipped

She glowed a little. Robert would
be waiting at that Italian place,

Rojo, Daniels Clash Tuesday

Hartford, Nov. 20-Genaro Rojo baby-faced Mexican lightweight boxer of Los Angeles, seeks his sixth straight eastern triumph Tuesday night in facing Sammy Daniels of Baltimore in rematch at the Auditorium.
 They met a few weeks ago in Montreal, with Rojo rallying against his tough Baltimore op- ponent to earn a draw decision Each knocked the other down once in a thrilling duel, termed a "sen- sational fight" by one Canadian paper.
 Montreal promoters vied for re- match there, but Rojo and his pilot Johnny Francis, decided to present it to Connecticut fans, who saw Sharp-shooting Genaro score four of his five consecutive victories here.
 Training all last week with Willie Pep, sparring with the feather weight champion, Rojo is in fine fettle right now for the rematch He needs little work to be on the beam when he faces Daniels again.
 Stopped Sims, Costa
 Bill Gore, Pep's trainor, is groom ing Rojo for his eastern campaign. Thus far Rajo's record speaks well for the handling he is getting. Among his accomplishments are knockout victories over two pre- viously unbeaten boxers, Baby Sims here and Vic Costa in New York'S Madison Square Garden.
 His pro record lists 29 victories 19 by kayoes-three draws and but four losses in 36 fights. An an amateur. Rojo was little short of sensational. Genaro captured five championships in his Simon-pure days. Indeed, he got to be respect ed so out on the West Coast no one would meet him. That's why he came east, reversing Horace Greeley's recipe for achieving suc- cess.

CROSBY'S GRID TEAM CLINCHES
 CITY CROWN N

Scoring at least one touchdown in three of four periods played, Crosby's 1924 high school football contingent walked away with the mythical city championship yester- day afternoon defeating Wilby 31-0 before 5000 fans. In late October Crosby set back Leavenworth's Tech Tigers 25 to 6; while the Tech lads defeated Wilby 33-7.
 Since 1922, Crosby has won II grid games against Wilby, the Wildcats winning 8, while three were stand offs. Yesterday, perfect football weather greeted the coaches, players and fans; only one incident mar ring the. game; head injury to George Lenoce, Wilby back on the first play of the third period. St.. Mary's hospital authorities reported his condition as flair" late this morning.
 On The March
 Starting inside its own 10 yard line, Crosby moved down field in about 8 dozen plays for it's first score; a pass from Johnny Reardon to Paul Miller, Crosby co-captain clicking for the T. D. which started way back near the Wilby 40 yard line. In the second period, Crosby ball n-carriers, Reardon, Latimer, Pic kett and Lombard averaged nearly F yards on each of six plays to score from the yard line, Joe Lom- bard going. over. Joe is younger brother of Crosby captain Tony Lombard, 1922 grid leader. Wilby had a Lombard, too, Nick Lombard throwing pass, intended for Whal- en, intercepted by Crosby's Fishang. Able blocking by Crosby'S quarter back, Bob Johnson, also co-cap- tain; plus the running of Pickett, Reardon and Latimer; Fishange and Lombard was prominent in the con- sistent Crosby attack; bolstered no little by fine work up front" by Bird, Miller, Danisavage and Frant- ziS.
 The injury to Wilby's standout lineman, Eddie Cavanaugh and to halfback Lenoce in the third period placed too much burden on Frank Silva and Squires in the Wilby back field
