Weil l day in May I, had seen a whole lot of different sporting events that borea you to death and the White Sox from old Chi was playing In , New York city so I thought I needed a Uttle more boreing and X ; went out,, to Polo's Grounds .and? went .down - on the bench, and Mgr. Gleason was setting-. there and he i says hello to me, but I Just made a face at him, but he asked me to set down a rninute' and 4 boy name Wil kinson was going to pitch and he was out there warming up and finer ly he got warm and come Into the bench and Mgr. Gleason said: . :.'Come here and set down a min ute Wilkie, as I want to talk to you." ; So Wilkie set dowrt and Mgr. Glea son said to him: -'j . "Say listen Wilkie. 'They's a man on this New Tork club name Ruth and he isn't Cobb and he isn't Speak er or, Blsler or Jackson." He's a bird that If you ever throw a ball where he can reach it, that bull won't be available for tomorrow's game and baseballs costs as much . money as other commodities jnow days, ao if you do,n't mind, why when this guy cornea up there don't pitch him nothing that he can lay his bat against it, but roll the ball up there on the- ground and! I will take the hitting home runs off of you is to refuse to pitch when its your turn. The most useless thing in the world when, this guy's up there to bat is the opposing catcher, because if you can throw ; a. ball past Mr. "Ruth why it don't make no difference if its catched or not whereas if you. try to throw one over the plate, it. won't never get as far as the catcher. Park Concerts Improve With Each Program By J. X WaUla J A MARKED improvement is noted in jrx. the ensemble or me oyt n"" bend which wasot,ganted by Joel B. Ettinger for the municipal park concert engagement this season. . After pfaylng some 3S concerts and adhering to a somewhat limited repertoire results are vastly superior to those obtained at the beginning of the season when many of the programs had to be played practi cally "at sight." 1 -(While it is to be taken for granted that every musician engaged" for the park concerts Is familiar 'with the ma jority of standard band works and their technical' difficulties, each conductor ns his own idea of interpretation and it is on this targely that agreement has to- be arrived at before satisfactory result can be obtained before the public. Even band concert audiences of today demand something more than lukewarm, color less performances. When j , selections from grand; opera are playedj one wants the various arias "Sung", with authority by the particular instruments for which they have been laid. Unless auch is. the case, tone and technic count ;for Uttle. . All of which goes to support the con tention that the selection of the munic ipal park band should be made as long as possible in advance of the season in stead of a few weeks before .the opening concert-ha, has been the practice in the past. Delayed- engagement of the band not Only prevents rehearsals but alto makes it difficult to obtain the latest in band literature, for. without en, engage men of some';. importance assured the investment in new popular music for a large combination . is hardly regarded Justified. yV , ,v So Wilkie said yes U-V ... ....... 1 ! 'Unlit, This afternoon the band will play at South Park. Jefferson and Park streets, instead of at Washington park as orig inally scheduled. Ji is believed .

Well they started this game in the first inning and the White Sox didn't do nothing and it come the N- Y. club's turns to get their in nings and they was 2 out and Plpp got on 1st. base and along come Ruth. The next I seen of that two dollar ball was when it was floating over the right field bleachers. So when Wilkie come j in to the bench Mgr.! Gleason says what did I tell you and Wilkie said Jt didn't mean to pitch it where it went. So the next, time Babe come up all he got was a 5 base hit cause they were pitching 1 more careful to him. Well after a wile it come nec essary to put in a ! pinch hitter for Wilkie and little Dickie Kerr was sent in to . finish the game. Mgr. Gleason didn't tell Dickie where: to pitch to Babe because Pickle's what you might call a old timer, so Dickie pitched one at, this bird's Adam's apple and he hit it into the right field stand for .another home, as I have nicknamed them. ; - , ! Now. this isn't no reflection -on neither of these' pitchers which If hope is. both friends of mine, but, if j I was manageing a ball club in the j American League, I would tell them I how to pitch to this bird. I would j stand on the mound and throw the i first ball to first base and the sec- ; ond ball to. second base arid the third ' ball to third base, and then I would! turn around and heave the fourth . one out in right field, because he couldn't be in all those places at once and further and more'theys a rule that makes a batter stand in the batter's box and if a . person pitches in that direction with this guy up why all you can say about them is that they're a sucker. For inst. the last time the White Sox was here, a certain prominent Chicago baseball writer was setting next to Col. Huston that owns a. chunk of the Tanks and this George Ruth comes up and the Col. says to him how much will you. bet that he don't crack one out of the park on this occasion. So the baseball writ er says what's the j proper oddsj Bo the CoL says well' I don't want to cheat' you and I will bet you' a pt to a qt. that he murders one. So the sucker took it and the first ball was a foul that went into Mr. Schalk's ft. an the next was a ball and then the old boy took one right over the middle for another strike and the next one hasn't yet been located, but when last seen was soreing over a cigarette sign in right center. . Another way to make bim stop A couple wks. ago a guy come here with the St. Louis Browns and struck the Babe out 5 times in 1 afternoon and, if he is smart he will let. that gd""down info posterity and th.e next time they tell him its his turn to pitch vs.' the N. .Y.- club he will say he has got a sore arm. !

Knight, solo flutist -with the Royal Rosarian (Municipal Park) band, was born In Allegheny County. Penn sylvania, end studied flute with Theo. Hahn of Cincinnati. Strictly speaking, he Is a self-made nuslcan, with an Inborn love for the flute, starting to study . at the age or 15. "In earlier yeai's : he was a mem be ; of the Ne braska State band, and later he played with ' various . bands . and orchestras throughout the United Btatea .He has been identified with, the park band of Portland - since 1909, . and - is - also . a member of tho Portland-Cymphony or chestra, lie has been a citizen of Portland for 12 : years, barring two years spent in Salt Lke City. ; ; - ; a - a a The announcement that the railroads are to be permitted to Increase freight and passenger rates Is viewed, with considerable anxiety by those interest ed in managing the affairs of musical and theatrical attractions on tour, for to them it forms a new and serious problem. ; It is reported that from not a few bureaus In New York have come warn ings - that contracts entered Into may have to be materially altered because of the Increased cost of travel. Especially hard hit will be each or ganisations as the large grand opera companies and : symphony orchestras, for the Increase granted Is 29 per cent fare and 50 per cent for Pullman car accommodations, a total of 70 per cent. Industries affected by the advance In freight . rates Intimate that It will be for the consumer to pay, and It Is to be presumed that a similar attitude will be assumed - by promoters of stage at tractions. a - Among new songs published are thrw by Paclflo Northwest composers that give promise of meeting with much favor. These are "Dreaming of You" and "Pear Old Dad for which the , words were written py iaa tieue juemaree ana tne musio by O, Berry, both of Portland, and "The Golden Dream Boat," poem by Rdgar A. Ouest and music by W. N. Alvord of Tacoma. "Dreaming of You" Is a waits song and its melody Is of the haunting kind, easily memorised. It has made a big hit wherever sung. "Dear Old Dad" Is a comic song of the foxtrot order and should prove popular on ball room programs. Alvord's "The Golden Dream Boat" is a lullaby In slow waits tempo, introducing bits of old favorite ballads, so cleverly Interwoven that they are merely suggested in the melody. It too, should prove a popular orchestra number, for which it has also been pub lished by the composer, ' . - a J.
