. ~ PAGE TWELVE ms sss sine: Does Mr. Jarvis Know His Own Voice? It all happened one night up in the cop- per region of Michigan. . nl Harold Jarvis, the popular Canadian singer, happened to be on a concert tour . through that country, and a young lad was ~playin? the Victor-Vicirola Record 'Beau: tiful Isle of Somewhere" (Mr. Jarvis' grea hit) on a phonograph, in the hotel where h was stopping. Recognizing the song, Mr. Jarvis rushed upstairs and into the room: "What is that you are playing?' asked Mr. Jarvis. ** 'Beautiful Isle of Somewhere,' Harold Jarvis' replied the lad. + "Why | can't believe it!' exclaimed Mr. Jarvis, "'l never heard my voice reproduced so beautifully before! What phonograph is it?" - ; "The Brunswick," replied the lad, "Which plays all records," : --Then the lad had to play it again, to his complete enjoyment. Upon his return to Detroit, Mr. Jarvis looked up the Brunswick dealer and asked him to play his record, that he might again sung by enjoy it, and then and there voluntarily ' gave the following testimonial to the tone quality of the Brunswick. (MM. Jarvis' Letter) . / The tone of the Brunswick was a revelation to me. The unmusical, metallic phonograph qualities to which we have béen accustomed so long, seem to be entirely eliminated in the Brunswick phonograph. : The vocal records particularly have a sweet full richness of sound wih the very vibragcy of life. I was, of course, partjculuarly intgrested in the reproduction of my own records on t Brunswick, and can truthfully say that I have never, heard them played as nearly lifelike on any other instrument... Particular in my recording of "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," the Brunswick phonograph brings out the shadings that I never knew were possible in a reproducing instrument. It hardly seems possible that it could be the same record, ' Your very truly, HAROLD JARVIS. (Mr. Jarvis was born in Toronto, Canada.)

It i= said that for performing the duties of the go- between for dhe Red Sox and the Boston public Barrows is to receive $10,000, a handsome advance over The salary which he drew as the ex- eclitive of the International League. But all this is merely hearsay, Harry Frazee, owner of the Red Sox is so busy with his theatrical holdings that the need of a policy man in the Hib City has been evi- dent if the American League is to retain its transcending popularity.

ROWDYISM KILLS SPORT President Calder of the N.H.L. is Praised. The Toronto Star says: President Calder of the N.H.L. has the right idea. Rough-house rowdyism will kill any sport, and it will kill pro. hockey if it is allowed to flourish. Now that Mr. Calder has landed hard on hockey players who stage near fights or hook and slash each other about did not go beyond a warning to play hockey and quit scrapping.

A. situation has now reached a4 most interesting stage. The cham- pion Dental Corps are out ia fromt in the eastern group No. 1 and go- ing strong, with the Crescents In closest pursuit.! The Allan Cup aduiinistered a decisive defeat to {Queen's University in Kingston' Fri- day night. They 14t no room for {doubt as to which \was the better team, displaying vast superiority in all. departments. There is no disputing that the Dents are an improved elub over last year. They have beautiful team play, which usdaly brings results, and. are fast individually, In f they have no perceptible weak spots. With an hour's praeticf daily, Dents have a decided saranide over the other local teams and they are un- doubtedly in much better condition. The Crescents appear to he the team most likely to give Manager Laflamme's aggregation of stars an argument, and the conflict is sched- uled 10 be staged at the Arena on Thursday next. The Dents will no\ doubt be favorites, but the Half Moons promise the "éMmps" a battle royal. With the group lead- ership at stake, a battle royal is as- sured in fact. There is an air of confidence in the camps of both clubs. The memorable battles for supre- macy between the Dentals and the Riversides in the senior O. H. A. finals last season are still fresh in the minds of the fans. As 'the Crescents have the majority of ast year's [Riverside players, a repeti- tion of these struggles is confidently expected. On paper the Dentals probably appear a little the stronger team.' "Phere is, however, - an ele- ment of luck in hockey that plays an important part in the decision of many games, and which accounts for the fascination for the Sport. In the matter of team play the "Knights™of the Drill" are undoubt- edly superior to the Cresceuts, but the latter club are showing some im- provement. There is still room for additional improvement, of course, and there must be, if the Crescents aré successful in holding their own with their rivals. Queen's University will meet Me St. Pats here on Tuesday, and the locals feel confident of disposing of the Kingston squad... On Saturday next the "Battling Irish" will again take on the Dentals.' TOO MUCH PRAISE Is Often Harmful to Stars of Diamond. Too much kind publicity has been exceedingly harmful to many ball players of promise. Conspicuous ex- amples are Marty O'Toole, Lena Blackburn (who gets another trial in the majors this year) and Larry Chappell, So much Has been expected of them because of what enthusiastic and hopeful sport scribes have written, that they found the task too great for them. In trying to surpass them- selves they have fallen by the Way. side. . Pitchers in particular have been hurt by well-meant articles. It took Rube Marquard much time and Man- ager McGraw much patience to get by the "$11,000 lemon" title that had been hung on Rube. - Grover Alexander, the great pitch er recently sold to the Cubs, found the other extreme frue. {He had been an unusually fortunite young man. Little wad said about him when he first joined the Philade phia club. In fact, so little was expected that he was practically overlooked in the writings of the spring. =~ Hence he started in at normal, He had everything to gain, butgho knocks would be flung at him did' he fail to make good. No fuss was made when he pitched his first game, nor his setond and fifth. He went at his task in a matter-of-fact 'sort of way, Working easily and naturally. As a result ne had more than made £ood when the scribes, manager; and general public woke up.
