PAGE ELEVEN THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1918. Does Mr. Jarvis | Know His i] Own Voice ? It all heppined one might up in the cop- per region of Michigan. Harold Jarvis, the popular Canadian singer, happened to be on a concert tour through that country, and a young lad was playing the Victor-Victrola Record * 'Beau- tiful eof Somewhere" (Mr. Jarvis' gréat hit) on a'phonograph, in the hotel where he was stopping. Recognizing the song, 'Mr. Jaivis 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 I can't believe it!" exclaimed Mr. Jarvis, "| never heard my voice reproduced so beautifully before! What phonograph " replied the lad, hich sung by is it?" "The Brunswick, 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 enjoy it, and then and there voluntarily gave the following testimonial to the tone quality of the Brunswick. (Mr. Jarvis' Letter) The tone of the Brunswick was a revelation to me. ' The unnrisical, metallic phonograph qualities to which we rave been agcustomed so long, seem to be entirely eliminated in ithe Brunswick phonograph. / The voeal records particularly sound wil the very, vib / 1 was, of conrke, patticyluarlg is of my @wn records on the Brungwick, 1 lave hever heard them pla instrument. .

In The World Of Sport WITHOUT AN EXCUSE Abandonment of the Sport Is The Occasion of Much Resentment. ® fn, Yale's reorganization of ath- leties one of the disappointments is the failure to revive hockey. This haé beén Yale's leading winter sport for years, and a strong sentiment has cropped up annually to have the game made one of the major sports. For three or four years it has attracted morg spectators than has track ath Jeti. Had [the war not taken hund- reds of students from Yale hockey might have Xisplaced track athletics on the list of Inajor sports. The rink on which the team has played for three years is closed, and artificial ice is no longer possible. The disappearance of hockey from the list of winter sports seems almost inexplicable. The entire hockey team of last season is now in military ser- vice, but the same is true of Yale's football and baseball teams, which may be revived. Yale's two winter teams which have been organized, the swim- ming and water polo and basketball i organizations, promise to develop into close intercollegiate champion-|¢© ship form, The basketball team has béen reorganized since its return home, and has won both the games played, including the intercollegiate I series with Dartmouth at Hanover. {!

Joe now belongs to the Jinx, for Boston has been his hoodoo for years. In five years that. he has pitetsd against American League clubs Joe was able to beat Boston on but three occasions, and in one of these games Bush acted merely as relief hurler: Boston has beaten him sixteen differ- ent times and fourteen of these de- feats came in a row. Other pitchers have hoodoos and nearly 'all of them are able to over- come the jinx gooner or later, but not Bush. The only way he could get rid of the hoodoo was to join it. f "Nap" Lajole in Demand. Napol Lajoie is in general de- mand. "Phe Clevelands want him to play first base for them.
