Two Games Decided
0utfie|d Collision,
Freak Passed Ball
Rv the AsSocioted Press

DETROIT, April 18.-The St.
Louis Browns took over the
league lead as they scored two
runs in the eighth inning, the
second coming on a freak passed
ball, to edge the Detroit Tigers,
80, in the second game of a
double-header today and make
a sweep of the two games.
The Browns won the opener,
81, in the 18th inning when
outfielders Jim Delsing and Bob
Nieman collided under an easy
pop fly and let two st. Louis
runs pour across the plate.
In the eighth inning of the
nightcap, Pinch-hitter Hank Ed
wards opened with a long double
to left. Dick Kokos, another
pinch hitter, sent Edwards across
with a single to right and took
second on the throw to the plate.
Bucha Lets in Run.
Neil Berry ran for Kokos and
moved to third on a sacrifice.
Then Johnny Bucha, Detroit
catcher, committed his costly
passed ball.
With Bobby Young at the
plate, the Browns tried to work
a squeeze play. Berry was run
ming all the way and would have
been a sure out if Bucha held
the ball, which was a perfect
strike. But for some reason the
ball popped out of his glove.
Berry crossed the plate with a
thankful grin on his face.
Duane Pillette was the winner.
He had a perfect game going
until the seventh inning, retiring
the first 18 Tigers in order. But
singles by Harvey Kuenn and
Owen Friend, plus a double by
Bob Nieman, chased two runs
home and gave. the Tigers a 81
lead.
After the Browns bounced
back into the lead, Bob Cain
came on to protect the margin.
Dick Marlowe was the loser.
Wertz's Homer Ties Game.
In the opener. Vic Wertz, an
ex-Tiger, sent the game into
overtime with three-run homer
after two were out in the ninth
inning.
Then. in the 11th, the Browns
won it when DelSing and Me
man went into their bump act.
With runners on first and Sec
ond and two out, Bob Elliott
lofted a soft fly to short right
center. 1t looked like sure out,
But Delsing and Nieman, both
looking skyward, collided and
the ball fell safely for a single,
both runners scoring.
The Browns needed seven
pitchers to win this one, with
the sixth, Marlin Stuart. an
other ex-Tiger, getting the vic
- tory
Art Houtteman. who replaced
Billy Hoeft in the ninth and
served up the home run ball to
Wertz, was the olser.
AS in the second game, this
locked like a Tiger victory to
the crowd of 1908. The Tigers
scored three runs in the eighth
inning, two coming on Kuenn's
single off Satch Paige, to take
a 6-3 lead. But Houtteman
grooved one to Wertz and Me
man and Delsing couldn't get
together on that fly.

special correspondent OF Inc SCaE
M1DDLEBURG, Va, April 18.
You can teach an old horse new
tricks. A 13-year-old steeple-
chaser named Black Fox Run
proved it here today in the Mid
dleburg Hunt Cup. Running in
his first big timber race, he went
to the post with eight other
horses, the cream of the crop
for 1858.
He was quoted at 4-to-1, but
the odds were only a salute to
his good days of the past when
he won almost $4,000 over
brush.
Less than five and one-half
minutes, three miles and IA
fences later he came charging
through the stretch to victory.
His margin was a neck and a
stout heart. In second place was
Edwin Gould's Ums. who also
had been the runnerup in the
Deep Run Hunt Cup last week.
Black Fox Run was ridden by
Sidney Culver of White Post, Va,
a gentleman jockey who is also
building a reputation at a new
game in his mellow years. Cul-
yer was quite a polo player be-
fore he became a race rider and
those who saw him ride a cool
and heady race today agreed
that he is getting on with his
lessons in a new subject.
The trophy was presented to
Mrs. James P. Mccormick of
by Secretary of the
Gorge Humphrey.
Mrs. McC ick's husband
trained the winner.
Sixty five horses from some of
the best stables in the United
States ran here today but the
local talent kept most of the
loot at home. The co-feature of
the card, the Mary Mellon
of $4,000 added, was
won by Weather Deck, owned by
Stephen c. Clark, jr., of Middle
burg and trained by Jack Skim
ner.
Skinner also sent out the
winner of the Glenwood Maiden
Hurdle race - the Rokeby
Stables Holystone. Both horses
we're ridden by Tommy Field who
also lives here.
Both the Hunt Cup and the
Mary Mellon were carried along
by front-running horses. James
McHugh's Jordan, which won
the Deep Run Hunt Cup this
year and was favored today,
broke on top over the first timber
fence and refused to relinquish
the lead for 13 fences. although
he hit some Of them hard
enough to take out a rail.
Black Fox Run hit the first
fence so hard that Culver'S arm
shot in the air as if he were
hailing a taxi. At that point
the wiseacres began to look for
trouble. A horse that has been
running over brush is very apt
to try to skim through timber
fenceS-a little trick that leads
to grief. Black Fox Run ran
his last big races over the brush
courses at the big tracks and has
been turned out for the last two
years.
After the first fence Black Fox
Run Strengthened up and ran
like a timber horse. He was out
jumping the paceSetter and
when Jordan dug too deep at the
14th the Fox was ready to go on
Jordan slammed to earth on his
quarters and was knocked to his
feet again by another horse.
Paddy Smithwick came up still
in the saddle but the race was
over for him.
AS they rode down the hill to

Sergeant Watts old hand the service He served
during World War II and had some escapes. He
was in the thick of the Pacific for many months But
he stu liked the service and again fighting for his
country when ne fell into enemy hands three
years ago. For 81 months he confined in a prison

to whether he would again Columbus county his

But then the announcement that he had been set

emblem to Tabor City of what Americans have undergone
in the Orient
Because he stands wildly only pow of

The little welcome that has been promoted certainly
only token appreciation for what he done. It's lust

ing are to be found in the life
history of visiting conductors
this week. On Thursday, the
Boston Symphony will be di-
rected by 31-year-old Guido
Cantelli, who was conducting
his fathers military band in
Novara, Italy, at the age of S.
From those infant days, he has
been a church singer, a pianist
at II, during opera perform
ances, a choral director, and
at 18, a composer directing the
public performance of his
works. His conducting career
was interrupted by the war,
when, refusing to cooperate
with the Germans, he was sent
to a prison camp. Practically
a living skeleton when he man
aged to escape. he neverthe-
less conducted La Scala's or
chestra soon afterwards. He
came to this country at the
invitation Of Toscanini in 1913.
The Deeper Aim
Eugene Ormandy, who re-
turns to conduct the Phila-
delphia Orchestra Tuesday
night after a midwinter vaca-
ton. received his diploma as
professor Of music at II in the
Royal Hungarian Academy Of
Music after a notable career
as a violin prodigy. The
diploma was granted by spe-
cial permission of the Minister
of Education, Count Albert
Apponyi, because of his age.
He received. in addition to
other degrees. one in conduct
ing. This knowledge he did
not use until. stranded in New
York when a promised con-
cert tour did not materialize,
he took a job as violinist in the
orchestra of the Capitol The
alter. The conductor was taken
i'll, Ormandy, then concert
master, stepped in, and his ca
reer as conductor began. BY
way of guest engagements with
the New York Philharmonic,
the Robin Hood Dell, and the
radio, he became conductor of
the Minneapolis Symphony for
several years before taking his
post at the head of the Phila-
delphia Orchestra.
These instances OF what may
be accomplished by the wise
direction of children's interest
in music are duplicated many
times in history. The National
Symptoms concerts for chill
dren may unearth q genius,
may inspire a career, but the
deeper aim is to implant q
love for and an understanding
of a great art to act as q
spiritual stabilizer their entire
lives. [

Its Symptoms Day
WGMS Conducts Radio Drive for Funds
To Support ChiIdren's Concerts
News of Music
By Alice Eversmon

It will be q busy day at Ra-
dio Station WGMS from $3.50
am. on when an intensive
drive will be staged for Spon-
shorship Of the National SYM
phony OrcheStra'S Children's
Concerts. Until midnight to-
night, the phones at the stu
dios on Vermont avenue will
be manned by a corps Of en-
thuSiastic volunteers to take
down the pledges it is hoped
will be inspired by the musi-
cal programs going on all day.
They begin with a broadcast
of the symphony's rehearsal
this morning in Constitution
Hall under Howard Mitchell'S
direction.
But the programs will not
end tonight if the donors are
large-hearted enough. If you
give $3.50 or more, you can
have chamber music concerts
in your home by the American
and Catholic Universities
groups. A tenth of that amount
is all that is necessary to hear
members of the Orchestra in
solo performances today on
the radio. The musicians are
donating their services so that
the price" for performance
goes to the fund. Music never
heard at a regular concert is
scheduled. such as a post-horn
solo played on a real post
horn, the OrcheStra'S percus-
sion department in a fine get
together, and an old fashioned
biergarten performance by the
brass ensemble with common
tary by Prof. Won Umlaut.
The SHY fashion models are
cooperating Fundamentally.
Topping their list of contribu-
tons will be q date to q Ma
ttonal Symphony concert with
. bachelor who donates $15 or
more. Not a steep price con-
sidering that tickets for the
event are included. The models
will babysit also for q concert
evening so the adults can at
tend.
Music's Life Line
Radio appeals for the I'M
derwriting Of worthwhile mu-
steal events are not uncom-
mon but WGMS has added q
flip that should send dona-
lions far above the amount of
$4,765 realized last year. This
sum provided for three free
concerts, the one for elemen-
tary children having been held
on January 8 in Constitution
Hall. On February "a a con-
cert for high school students
will be played in that hall and
a concert for Tiny Tots" is
on the list for the morning of
March 81.
It is not necessary to elab-
crate on the Importance Of
the Symptoms Children's
Concerts. Through them, the
Orchestra is maintaining the
life line Of music, preparing
an instructed audience for
carrying on the good work in
years to come. That is far
sighted community planning.
Still more important are the
seeds of cultural knowledge
sown in the young by the hear
ing of good music. They are
being given a bulwark against
the trials of life secondary only
to that provided by religion.
This is not the time for any,
one to question the value Of
