Every week, more than 100000
persons in the Washington area
listen to musical programs
planned and directed by a de-
voted group of people whose
names are relatively unknown.
They are the organists and
choirmasters who lead the music
in the churches, large and small.
and whose work is heard at
home by radio and television
listeners. Most of them. are
members of the District of Co
lumbia Chapter of the American
Guild of Organists.
The AGO, founded in 1896 in
New York to advance the cause
of church music. is a national
organization with about 10000
members. The Washington chap
ter numbers about 800.
Modelled on Craft Guilds.
Modelled on the medieval craft
guilds, which banded artisans
and craftsmen together accord
ing to grades such as Journey
men, apprentices and masters.
the guild has subscribers, coll
leagues, choirmasters, fellows
and associates.
Miss Maud G. 'Sewall, 80, one
of the persons who founded the
Washington Chapter in 1910,
retired in 1916 after SO years
as the organist at the Church Of
the Holy City, Sixteenth and
Corcoran streets NV.
Miss Sewall recalls that the
District Chapter was the out
growth of an earlier union OF
the Episcopal Church organists
In Washington. Miss Sewall nc
longer plays the organ. But she
still composes music. Three
years ago, the national guild
awarded a first prize to her
choral setting of the 150th
Psalm.

Semipro Teams Favor
InterIeauue Schedule

A previously rumored plan for
interleague games between
teams of the Departmental and
Industrial baseball leagues this
summer was Endorsed unani-
mouSly in a meeting of the De-
partmental League last night.
A tentative setup, which must
be approved by the Industrial
League, provides for three
rounds among Departmental
teams and one round against the
Industrial League teams during
each half of the season. If
each league contains four teams
this year. such a plan would
give a team a 13-game schedule
each half, with nine games in
its own league and four with
teams of the other league.
The Departmental League
last night also approved play
ing games on Sunday, if neceS-
Sary to complete the schedule.
However, Sunday ball may not
be necessary unless the leagues
return to the five-team setup of
last season.
