A majority Of those who
know that the new art season
has been inaugurated an
nually for some years by q
large exhibition Of ceramics,
weavings and other crafts,
alone or In various combina-
tons, probably wonder why
these ANIMALS are always
"biennials." Actually, they
are. The exhibition which
opened with q preview last
Wednesday evening in the
Natural History Building,
Constitution avenue at 10th
street. is the Third Biennial
Exhibition Of Creative
Crafts" Much as 1t may re-
semble the big exhibition Of
last September, that one was
the Sixth International Of
Ceramic Art, and the two
shows alternate. Sponsors
overlap. The Kiln Club,
which sponsored last years
show, is one of the six spon-
sors Of the current display,
including the Potom mac
Craftsmen, not listed in the
invitation.
Out Of 465 entries, 148
items were selected by the
jury, composed Of David r.
Campbell, executive vice
president of American
Craftsmen's Council, New
York; Adelyn Breeskin, di-
rector of the Baltimore Mu-
scum of Art, and Olin Rus
sum, MISREPRESENTATION Of
Monkton, Maryland.
This exhibition will be re-
viewed here next Sunday.

exception. In the past year,
each Of three museums close
together in the Middle West
announced some outstanding
event, which spanked my in
terest in visiting them when
opportunity offered. Cleve-
land, Toledo and Detroit are
only two or three hours apart
by motor. Each has an i'm
portant museum of art. The
touring art lover could be-
come acquainted with the
trio in three days, If very
short on time. 1t is much
better, of course, to make
this area on Lake Erie and
little Lake st. Clair, an OBJ
jective of a week at the very
least.
The Cleveland Museum OF
Art led the three in the d.
mansions of its event-the
opening early last March OF
its new SO million wing,
simultaneously reopening the
museum which had been
closed for two years, and
the muniflcence of the be-
quest of $40 million from the
estate of Leonard c. Hanna,
jr., together with a fine art
collection.
Twice as Big
The new wing appears to
have about doubled the size
of the museum, and new &C
QUESTIONS put it in the front
ranks (if it was not already
there for quality of its col
lectionS).
Ohio's richest city, Cleve-
land has been the beneficiary
of a number of wealthy fam
lilies who have been eXtraor-
dinarily generous to large
cultural projects in music,
art and other fields. Beauti-
full Wade Park in which the
museum is situated, is named
after one of these families.
The Cleveland Museum
was not incorporated until
1914, and its original build
ing opened two years later.
When its first director,
Frederic Allen Whiting, came
to Washington as director Of
the American Federation Of
Arts, he was succeeded by
william M. Milliken, who
served for 20 years, and re-
tired last April. Under his
guidance the museum made
some of its most spectacular
acquisitions.
The Guelf Treasure
Most covetable of them all
Ito me- are the nine objects
from the Guelf Treasure,
bought for the Cleveland
Museum from the fabulous
private collection which be-
longed to the Dukes of
Brunswick, composed of
Romanesque and Gothic
goldsmith's creations: Reli-
quaries, monstrances, affairs,
crucifixes and kindred OBJ
jects. 1t is incredible that
the Cleveland Museum alone
seized the opportunity to
acquire a group Of them.
The Metropolitan Museum
in New York should have
had some of these magnifi-
cent works for the Cloisters.

LEXINGTON, Va, April 30
R. IT. Woodrow Woody

athletic director at Virginia
Military Institute.
Gray, a 1889 graduate Of

Col. M. p. Echols who retired
last June.
Gen. William H. Milton. VMI
superintendent, in announcing
Gray's appointment yesterday,
said a replacement for Echols
had not been made sooner
because he had been seeking a
man with the varied qualifica-
tons for the job.
A native of Norfolk, Gray
was a star athlete at Maury
High School there. At VMI he
was an all-round athlete, vice
president of his class, and a
first lieutenant in the cadet

4-Yeur Draft
For BusebuII
FormuIized

CHICAGO. April 30 Up
Basebsll's new four-year player
draft was put into formal Ian
guage yesterday by a committee
Of six men. including Commits
sioner Ford Prick.
The new rule. originally
adopted at Colorado Springs
last December. permits a major
league team to draft any num-
Der Of players with four years
experience from minor league
clubs at $4,000 per man.
Previously. only one player
could be drafted by a major
club from a minor league team
at the price of $4,000.
The object of the new regula-
ton is to discourage the keeping
Of potential major leaguers IN
the minor leagues. The rule be-
comes effective with the next
player draft in December.
II a major league club re-
turns a drafted player to the
minor league club, it receives
a return of only Sl2.500.
Others attending the meeting
besides Prick were Warren
Giles. president of the National
League; Will Harridge, presi-
dent of the American League:
George Trautman. head of the
minor leagues; Trautman's as
sistant. Phil Piton. and Charles
Segar, secretary-treasurer of
