- STRANG novel—if it be a novel—is “Una Donna” (or @s it comés to us 2 pith translation, “A Woman at Bay’). Wot a single character “EB bears a name. A woman tells the story of her life, speaking of “my fa- er,” “my hee 489 " “my sisters,” “my husband,” of hier husband's kin by their degrees of relationship, of a “man™ who figures briefly in her life, of a “doctor, f t another man whom she thinks of as a “Prophet’’ who has not yet formu- i iis message to mankind, and so on, Milan and Rome look into the story, “Wut much of the action ir in an unnamed Italian town. The author's name up- on the title page is Sibilla Alermo, and this, we are told, is but a pen name for —7 Bohemian and charitable Roman lady. The cloak of anonimity gives the ‘work the air of a confession, of au autobiographical fragment. We feel that _. the reticence regarding names of characters fs referable to the author’s desire " t> hide actual persons and their localities. The device, if it be such, lends * *— and gives the scope of fiction to the development of incident and person- ‘Phe unnamed character who speaks in the first person is presented as a : ef —— girl. Her father, a professor in a small — becomes manager of ee — factory. There is a lack of harmony between mother and father which is not ned. The teller of the tale assists her father in the factory and there be- —— the victim of a fellow clerk, Though she does not love him, she conceals is crime and marries him. He is mean, suspicious, envious. His blood is a strain and hers flows from the selective nobility. Temperamentally they are constantly at war. And yet when, searching for that joy of love, which her — marriage did not bring, she ieans a trifle toward a man who desires a Ss - flirtation, her husband accepts her explanation and defense, only holding her ee — a stricter rule thereafter. He becomes enamored of her friend, a Nor- mS “wegian girl attached to a magazine for which the teller of the tale writes, but > the girl in the arms of another man who loves her. It is in Rome that the ee tale meets the ‘‘Prophet,”’ a sexless spirit, for whom she conceives liking which might have flowered into love had the “Prophet” little. Her father loses his control of the factory and her husband suc- + ah tana so that after a term of comparative freedom in Rome go batk to the peasant meanness of the factory town. Her son has eld her to the husband up to this crisis, but now successive humiliations im- — sete @ long contemplated step. Divorce is not possible in Italy; the father | as Control over the children and the mother is bound to submit. Yet she preak tight’ and takes refuge with her father, leaving her child. ‘hus in the climax the tale becomes an argument in fayor of the inde- _ petidence of women in Italy; of divorce and a mother’s right to her child.

E were forced to do it—we hdd W HIS horoscope cast. * HE is the gentleman who will pilot the ship of the Cardinals through the troubled waves and Mulvihillocks of the coming season. In our desire to learn the truth without resorting to oc- cultism, we called upon President Stan- ley Robison for the facts. That scion of the idle baseball rich was bounded the south by Chilliness, on the east by In- difference and) on the west by Sarcasm. From him we derived-the information that the new manager was to be a man. This reli¢ved the tense situation some- what, and gave us a basis for’ our hore- scope whenfwe applied to that eminent stellar veterinary, the Chaldean Kid, to have the case cured. His horoscopicuity shook us down from the start. We crossed. his palm in order not to cross his temper, and then he extracted carefully the informa- tion that the coming official was a man. He remarked unkindly on the meager- ness of the facts and followed it up by asking if he were human. But we could only speak from reference to the recent incumbent, and reply ‘Almast.” “What else can you tell me?’ he asked. * ‘“‘Well, we know that he is to be no base minor leaguer, that he is*proba oly at present a player and that he will be secured in a trade.”’ Thereupon the Chaldean Kid got out his best opera glasses, gave Venus, Mars and company the wink and went into executive. session. . “Ahal’’ We remarked as he threw in the astral clutch and started off on his first speed, “there is indeed something doing. I seem to see things transpiring along the Milky Way. No, it’s the

POOR ROWLING IN CITY TENPIN TOURNEY NLY one team, the Burkes, was 0) able to bowl at anything like their usual ‘speed in the St. Louis Tenpin League when all of the teams of the league rolled their games in the City Tenpin Tournament compe- tition on the DeSoto-Olive alleys last night. The Burkes got a total of 2584 pins, which is the high scratch mark up to date, This total has small chance to stand a any length of time, however. The teams of the St. Louis Tenpin League have been registering all of the high scofes of the season, but last night they seemed unable to get the new “wood” as they thought they stiould. The Jaegers, Times, Grands, Heavies,, Alfrelds, Bankers and Schneidts all bowled, but their totals were weak. Not a single man of any of the teams was able to go above the 200 mark, whereas in the regular league games the bowlers of the St. Louls League, that is Rothnweil, Coff- man .and others are willing to wager at any time that they will average above“the double century mark. George Jacobs of the Alfelds did the best work of any of the individual members of the St. Louis League teams when he got a total of 593 pins. Burkes Roti Well, T Virginia Pirates, Independents, Jaegers No. 2, Scenters, Rem- HE Lyons No. 1 and No. 2 teams, bolds and South Side No. 1 teams also bowled last night, but in spite of lib- eral handicaps were unable to get good scores. The Burkes were allowed a handicap of 34 pins per game. This gave the team a gross total of 2696, which shotld land the team in the prize list for the best handicap scores. This total was high for last night, but is a long way off from the present high handicap mark of the tournament held by Wools, which is 2983 pins. Another bunch of long handicap teams will go on the runs at 7.30 this eventing. Two-men teams from the St. Louis Tenpin League will follow at 9:45 p.m. A squad of eight individuals from the same league will start bowling at 1(:45 p- m. and the final squad of indi- viduals of the evening will not start until 11:15 p. m. Seventeen squads of bowlers will keep the alleys hot from 10 a. m. Sunday until 9 p.m. Most of the mén who bowl will be from the St. Louis Tenpin League. It is hardly @x- pected that any high scratch scores wil) be registererl this evening or tomorrow. HE real fun will start Monday 7 evening, when the Hyde Parks, Lynchseand other teams of the Palace . League start shooting their games. The Palace League fives have been rolling on Nos. il and 12 alleys at the Palace al] season. These alleys, while not hard, take some good bowling to get the pins, and for that reason the Lynchs and Hyde Parks have not been doing as. good as last season. The

Lyncha and Hyde Parks are confident

When it ceases to be conducted in this manner nothing can save it if a thou- sand actions were taken.

Players. that come to the major leagues com by reason of voluntary ac- tion of their respective clubs, as but few players are drafted.

I seem to see things transpiring along the Milky Way. No, it’s the

great White Way, somewhere. in the vicinity of the ‘Flat Iron Building... If the calendar does not mislead me, it is about Dec, 9 of the wanmng year. ‘Seated about the campfire—parcon me—about the table—were baseball men large and baseball men small. They have water in front of them. It is ‘on the side.” One gentleman, whose team; I can see from his expression, must have brought up the rear of the Na- tional League procession, is speaking to another gentleman who persists in ir- relevant remarks to the effect that ‘we had the race cinched but for Merkle’ and other words which seem to have no bearing on the point at issue. Presently the Owner of the Tail Ends speaks. * a

— HE "s MINE ALREADY!

* ‘See here; John T., you want pitch- ers. I want a catcher to be manager. You have the catcher, and I have the pitchers, Let’s dicker.’ “*What will you give?’ asks the most generous-minded man in baseball, bar- ring John Anderson. “*What do you say to Raymond and | Beebe?’ r ‘Stanley, you’re one of the greatest jokers in the business, but this is no vaudeville show. Now I will, make you a proposition. I will give you the man you want and will take in return Ray- mond, Fromme, Beebe, Karger, Lush, Koney and Murray. You can give me @ matter of $5000 boot. What say you?’ “Stanley dves finger stunts to find how many players he will have left. He med- itates furiously, takes a little water on the side, and consents. The trade made and the Cardinals will have a. new manager next year.’’ “Yes, but who will he be?” ye asked. “Well, it won’t be John McGraw ‘or Harry Pulliam, or Ben Adkin® The signs indicate that it will be a large man with a protruding chest. I | to see him standing back of the plate and making bage runners took like Dorando at the fimish in London. Anon he goes to the plate himself. He smites the bail afar and the listening multitude shouts “Roger! Roger!” ‘Roger!’ we cried, “the jolly Roger! Can he mean a Pirate? “Breeze away, breeze away, you dubs, Can’t you read a first-class tip from the sky when you get it? Roger is his first name, and I am inclined to believe his’ last name begins with “B.” “So ‘B.’ it,” we cried, as we rushed down the steps fully convinced that Johnny McGraw and John T. Brush are either life-savers or suicides. (For ““B."’ see above cut.)

POOR ROWLING IN CITY TENPIN TOURNEY able to bowl at anything like their usual ‘speed in the St. Louis Tenpin League when all of the teams of the league rolled their games in the City Tenpin Tournament compe- tition on the DeSoto-Olive alleys last night. The Burkes got a total of 2684 pins, which is the high scratch mark up to date, This total has small chance to stand a any length of time, however. The teams of the St. Louis Tenpin League have been registering all of the high scofes of the season, but last night they seemed unable to get the new “wood” as they thought they stiould. The Jaegers, Times, Grands, Heavies,. Alfrelds, Bankers and Schneidts all bowled, but their totals were weak. Not a single man of any of the teams was able to go above the 200 mark, whereas in the regular league games the bowlers of the St. Louls League, that is Rotnweil, Coff- man.and others are willing to wager at any time that they will average above™“the double century mark. George Jacobs of the Alfelds did the best work of any of the individual members of the St. Louis League teams when he got a total of 693 pins. Burkes Roil Well, T Virginia Pirates, Independents, Jaegers No. 2, Scenters, Rem- HE Lyons No. 1 and No. 2 teams, holds and South Side No. 1 teams also O NLY one team, the Burkes, was

bowled last night, but in spite of lib- eral handicaps were unable to get good scores. The Burkes were allowed a handicap of 34 pins per game. This gave the team a gross total of 2636, which should land the team in the prize list for the best handicap scores. This total was high for last night, but is a long way off from the present high handicap mark of the tournament held by Wools, which is 2983 pins. . Another bunch of long handicap teams will go on the runs at 7.30 this evening. Two-men teams from the St. Louis Tenpin League will follow at 9:45 p.m. A squad of eight individuals from the same league will start bowling at 1:45 p: m. and the final squad of indi- / viduals of the evening will not start until 11:15 p. m. Seventeen squads of bowlers will keep the alleys hot from i0 a. m, Sunday until 9 p.m. Most of the men who bow! will be fromthe St. Louis Tenpin League. It is hardly éx- pected that any high scratch scores wil) be registererl this evening or tomorrow. HE real fun will start Monday J evening, when the Hyde Parks, Lynchseand other teams of the Palace . League start shooting their games. The Palace League fives have been rolling on Nos. 11 and 12 alleys at the Palace all season. These alleys, while not hard, take some good bowling to get the pins, and for that reason the Lynchs and Hyde Parks have not been doing as» good as iast season. The Lynchg and Hyde Parks are confident

{LLS COLISEUM WITH FINE SONG a> — Great Diva Leads Success of Knights of Columbus’ Opening Concert. AN IMPRESSIVE EVENING

Vast Audience of 7000 Per- sons Hear Prima Donna and Choral Club.

ATHER MANZETTI, a dark-faced, J thoughtful-eyed Italian priest, in a closely buttoned coat of clerical cut, had just conducted the Knights of Columbus Choral Club through the sing- ing of the first program number at the Coliseum last night when Emma Calve emerged from one ‘of the arena en- trances and made her graceful way to- ward the stage in the center of the vast amphitheater. A great wave of applause, the clap- ping of the hands of 7000 people, greeted her. She was an impressive and theatric figure. The black lace gown which she wore shone brilliantly with s spangies. A rich’ fur boa was thrown “about her neck and shoulders, its -tips traiing nearly to the hem of her skirt in t.e front. Her luxuriant black hair was. piled heavily on her nead, uplifted from the’ brows and falling like a sable tor- rent to the nape of her neck. Her pas- sionate eyes were alight with the in- spiration of the moment, the magnetic appeal of the waiting multitudes. A brilliant smile parted her red lips, show- ing the gleam of white teeth and in- denting a dimple in her olive cheek, She was accompanied by a cameo- faced italian lad with a violin tucked under his arm and an older,Praven- | Mustached man of the same blood, her pianist, and together they mounted the — and confronted the tremendous circle of humanity massed under hun- dreds of fluttering flags showing the colors of America and Rome. A sudden hush fell upon the imposing scene. Calve bowed to the four quarters of the com- pass, including all her audience with her salutation. At one moment of this ceremonial performance her eyes were met and heid bf those of a striking | group of grave St. Louis priests occu- pying a box along the arena’s eastern edge. The Songs of Sappho. . And then, with swiftiy uptilted chin, her rounded throat swelled much like that of a singing bird, she sounded the of Gounod’s beautiful “Stangzas of Sappho’’ and the charm of one of the supremest velvet voices that the world has ever known fell upon the souls of her hearers. It was a typically temperamental Calve numbér, this succession of splendidly melodious cries from the burning lips of the Greek poetess, and Calve gave it uterance as vital as if it were echoed by the heights that earliest heard the Sapphic singing itself. She seemed in the very mood of absolute responsiveness to its spirit and her voice was that Calve voice first lifted in St. Louis 14 years ago, when this greatest of all Carmens appeared here during her opening Amer- ican season as the brightest star of the old Metropolitan Opera Company, then under the management of Maurice Grau. The mighty audience encompassing her in its impressive ellipsis made the Coli- seum ring and ring again with the fer- vor of its approval. Calve Subatitutes an “Ave Maria.” Not being permitted to retire from the house’s vision without giving an encore, Calve then sang David’s love- ly “La Perle’—~—and how. finely did this number bridge the dramatic gap that 'yawns between the Sappho stanzas and the succeeding number which the sing- er substituted for the programmed “Queen of Sheba” aria—Gounod’s truly reverential “‘Ave Maria!” I cannot but think that Calve made this sudden change in deference to those grave- faced. priests ta. whom she had bawed her proud head a few moments earlier, and, assuredly, it met with their quick commendation. Leading the applause which followed the last lingering note of its tender score was the hand-clap- ping of this churchly group, to whom, again, Calve made obeisance. Sudden- ly had a cathedral atmosphere been es- tablished, the “Ave Maria” following the choral club's own chanting of Perosi’s “Gloria in Excelsis’’—the only fault I have to find with the entire evening’s offering being the somewhat incongruous Calve introduction of “Suwanee River’ and ‘Dixie’ at this juncture. It's something of a shock to be plunged headlong into “Suwanee” waters and “the land of cinnamon seed and sandy bottom” just after bathing the soul in an Ave Maria and a Gloria in see ng men’s “Habanera” and a Serenade. “Sut this, I suppose, was Calve’s “well, | olen’ thsth abd, darwer: wre Rania her some little time later in Massenet’s exquisitely poetic “Serenade,” and in her own tmmortal phrasing of the Ha- banero from “Carmen,” that world- famous number, which first placeq@ the stamp of greatness upon her. Even in concert, Calve cannot refrain from be- coming the Spanish cigarette girl of fierce passions when she surrenders herself to the Habanera appeal. She played the role again last night so realistically in every changing expres- sion of her ardent face and every swaying movement of her body as almost to make~us forget that she wore a’ black lace evening gown ahd furs, instead of the vivid Carmen’s colorful bodice, shert skirt and eloquent Span- ish mantilla. Then, having already been uncommonly generous with en- cores, she eliminated the Bussey “‘Man- doline’ number from her program and disappeared from our view. Her even- ing’s success was one of undeniable bril- liancy. Goeod Work by Choral lub. The choral club itself, under Father Manzetti’s conductorship, sang admir- ably. Its regular program numbers were “Everywhere,” an English version of Freudenberg’s *Grillparser;”’ a quaintly humorous little song entitled ‘Jealousy,’ given with fine comedy phrasing; the impressive “Gloria in Ex- celsis’’ already mentioned, and Field Ballard’s swingingly tuneful “Come O’er the.Sea.”” In addition, the club also sang several encore numbers, of which the amusing “Where Are. You Going, My Pretty Maid’’ was a refresh- ing feature. Quite to the surprise of the audience, both the singing of. Mme. Calve and of the Choral Club was satis- fyingly heard in the big Coliseum, los- ing put little, even in the finer shad- ings, for lack of a closed-in stage’s sounding board possibilities. The choral work revealed the benefits of admirable training. RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. /MUSIC | Concerts and Recitals of the Week and Ikhese te Come —News Frem S‘udios.
