CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
ANNUAL ASSOCIATION OUTINGJ'ROVES A HAPPY AFFAIR
Local Publishers and Their Friends Show That Hits Can Be Obtained on Baseball Diamond Much
Easier Than in Business—Also Display Great Eating Ability—"Jazzes" Win
The third annual outing of the Greater New
York Music Publishers' and Dealers' Associa-
tion, which was held on Tuesday of last week,
at the Massapequa Inn, Massapequa, L. I.,
was a huge success from every angle and pleased
the officers of the association and those who
attended immensely. Owing to a number of
publishers being on the sick list and others be-

ing compelled to stay at their desks by business,
the crowd was not quite as large as expected.
However, there was a full sightseeing car and
a number of private automobiles that were taxed
to capacity on the way out and during the
afternoon a number of association members ar-
rived by train.
Maurice Richmond, who was taking some
friends out in his auto, had the misfortune to get
two punctures, which delayed his party some
time, but luncheon was also delayed until their
arrival, much to Mr. Richmond's pleasure.
Before lunch a number of the men spent
their time playing quoits and a very "exciting"
game resulted. The luncheon proved to be very
appetizing
and
every one left well
satisfied. Immedi-
a t e 1 y
following
lunch the feature
of the outing, a
baseball game, was
commenced. Sides
were chosen, cap-
tained by George
Bliss and Walter
Eastman.
The
Bliss t e a m was
O n Their
nicknamed
the
"Jazzes" and the Eastman team was given the
name "Blues." The game was very spirited
throughout and the score was a surprise to the
players themselves. The "Jazzes" won, carry-
ing the honors to the tune of 10 to 6.
Immediately following the ball-game, the
party entrained in autos and proceeded to the
bathing beach. Upon the return of the party
every one proceeded to the refreshment pavilion
where "Grandfather" Priaulx had previously
made arrangements which met everyone's ap-
proval and which included the payment for all
the joy water by the genial treasurer of the as-
sociation, Joe Glassmacher.
Dinner was served promptly at six-thirty and
ball almost to the Boy Scout camp, about five
hundred feet away. Mr. Conrow only went into
the game during the last few innings, leading
his teammates to believe that if they had had
him sooner they would have won the game.
J. T. Roach continues to be the star catcher
of the publishing field. He also continues to
worry the opposing pitchers with his bat.
L. M. Weippert, who pitched the game for the
"Jazz" team, is also some little Hindu with the
stick.
Alfred Cantor, son of J. A. Cantor, proved
an effective pitcher for the first few innings.
That fellow Chas. Schloss, of the R. F. Wood
Co., is some ball player.
Those who attended the outing included Jo-
seph Glassmacher, George H. Bliss, C. H. Peters,
W. Kraft, J. M. Priaulx, L. M. Weippert, M.
Pearlman, Frank Flynn, C. A. Keller, Hamilton
A. Gordon, George Fischer, John Maher, C. A.
Cantor, J. T. Roach, Alfred Cantor, Felix Mayer,
Walter Eastman, Maurice Richmond, Michael
Keane, W. H. Coghill and others.

was voted the best shore dinner the association
ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
During both the luncheon and the dinner a
Jazz band made the air lively with music and
was irresistible at times, causing a number of
very "dignified" publishers to fox-trot and one-
step.
On the whole, 'twas a grand day.
The game was closely contested, as the score
shows, and was remarkable for the absence of
errors.
The name given the Walter Eastman team
("Blues") was appropriate, as the result shows.
After the third inning a number of the fair
sex viewed the game from the side lines, caus-
ing the players to make special efforts to please.
George H. Bliss made one of the sensational
plays of the game when he caught a foul on the
run, near third base, and juggled it several times.
C. H. Peters, who played first base for the
"Jazz" team, proved some little ball player,
making a number of plays which would have
done credit to a professional.
Arthur Conrow, of the Connorized Music Co.,
made the longest hit of the game, knocking the

BUYS "FIVE MINIATURE BALLADS"
B. F. Wood Music Co. Makes Important Deal
Through Branch of Company in London—
Popular Song Cycle by William Y. Hurlstone
to Be Featured in a Nation-wide Campaign
Recently the B. F. Wood Music Co., Boston
and New York, purchased at a record price
through its London house the entire rights to
the "Five Miniature Ballads," a song cycle by
William Y. Hurlstone. In England and the
colonies this is regarded as an important work,
and is used by many artists and teachers. It
will prove a valuable addition to the Wood cat-
alog as well, and will be welcomed by American
singers and teachers.
While the cycle has appeared in the Wood
catalog for some time no effort had been made
to popularize them in this country. Now, how-
ever, the publicity department of the Wood Co.
has started a nation-wide campaign to properly
put them before the American public.
The Wood Co. has just put out some new
compositions.
These include the following:
Four modern compositions by Grace White,
which are interesting and of a thoroughly ar-
tistic type, possessing originality and well suited
for recitals; two songs without words by Pauline
H. Story, which are melodious without technical
difficulties; Notturno, by Quigley, transposed
edition; three piano pieces by Litta Lynn,
"Dream," "Poinsettia" and "Sweet Lavender,"
which are good, and within the grasp of all;
two works by Sartorio, both excellent works by
a composer whose name is sufficient to demand
attention from the teachers of this country;
three summer sketches by Myron Esterbrook,
graceful numbers and popular among teachers;
the "Venetian Serenade," by A.. L. Brown, and
four stray tunes from Dixie Land by this same
composer.
FRESH TRIBUTETO "OVER THERE"
President and Distinguished Companions Photo-
graphed as They Listen to Cohan's Hit
In a recent issue of the Boston Traveler, a
reproduction of a photograph of President Wil-
•son, his wife, Newton Baker, Secretary of War,
and Major General Hugh Scott appeared on the
first page and underneath the photograph ap-
peared the caption, "President Wilson, Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, Newton D. Baker, and Gen.
Hugh Scott listening to the strains of 'Over
There.' " "Over There" is the patriotic song hit
from the pen of Geo. M. Cohan and is published
by the Wm. Jerome Publishing Corp. It prob-
ably has received more unsolicited publicity than
any song of its character in recent years.

SEEKS ADVICE REGARDING MARCHES
Commander of Mobilization Camp at Syracuse,
N. Y., Seeks Information About New Marches
That Will Serve to Lighten Task of Marching
Major-General C. G. Morton, in command of
the Headquarters Mobilization Camp at Syra-
cuse, N. Y., in a letter to the New York Times
asked that those acquainted with new marches
that will serve to enthuse the troops and help
to lighten their efforts in marching will supply
him with copies. He says in part:
"If those who know what a march is that
will cause men to forget fatigue, that will lift
their feet in cadence without effort and auto-
matically, that will make them so glad they are
in the army that they can't understand why
other eligibles should hesitate to enlist, I
would appreciate a copy of such a march, or bet-
ter, the complete parts fox a military band. It
would be of little benefit, however, to receive
compositions that have not already been thor-
oughly tried out and found not only good but
excellent.
"I have a large number of military bands here,
either complete or in the making, and will ap-
preciate the assistance of those individuals or
organizations who have special knowledge of
the subject of military marches."
Every publisher with a march in his catalog
should be able to tell the general about the "best
march now being issued.
IRISH BALLAD BYjCHAS. K. HARRIS
"Kathleen, My Rose," Has the True Celtic
Flavor—"I'll See You Later, Yankee Land,"
and Other Numbers Proving Very Popular
Among the new songs which will be published
by Chas. K. Harris during the coming season
will be a ballad, "Kathleen, My Rose," which is
described as a beautiful Celtic ballad with a
pleasing story, wedded to a catchy Irish melody.
A somewhat different song is his new march-
time rollicking soldier song, "I'll See You Later,
Yankee Land," which has already created a
favorable impression. "Love o' Mine," another
new number, will also be featured in the fall
campaign. This song is suitable for concert,
and it is possible it will be heard in a musical
comedy. A typical Harris ballad is his new
"You Kissed Me" (and Said Good-bye). This
song is original in lyric theme and music, and
is receiving much praise from musicians and
soloists.
Besides the above Harris numbers he will
also publish Van and Schenck's "The More Love
I Get, the More I Want," which will be fea-
tured by its authors on their vaudeville tour
over the Keith and Orpheuni circuits.
SOME NEW REM1CK PUBLICATIONS
The popularity of the
Feist song "Where Do We
Go From Here, Boys?" has
been attested to on several
occasions recently by the
use of the song title in pro-
viding a basis for cartoons
on various topical subjects.
One of these cartoons,
which appeared in the Phila-
delphia North American of
August 17, is reproduced
herewith, together with the
text that accompanied it,
and it is seen that the title
fits in well with illustrations
of current events. "Where
Do We Go From Here,
Boys?" has proven a real
soldier song, as is evidenced
by the manner in which it is
sung by troops in all sec-
tions of the country. The
song has also proved very
effective in stimulating pa-
triotic enthusiasm at re-
cent recruiting meetings.
Excellent List of New Songs and Instrumental
Numbers Just Issued by That House
Jerome H.. Remick & Co. should be well pre-
pared for the fall season with the large list of
new numbers that have just been issued, and
which include, among the songs, a timely patri-
otic number, "We're Only Just a Baby, But
We're Very Much in Arms," words and music by
J. Hayden-Clarendon; "Where the Morning
Glories Grow," by Gus Kahn and Raymond
Egan, with music by Richard A. Whiting;
"Carmelita," a Spanish serenade, words and
music by Chas. F. Harrison; "Southern Gals,"
words by Jack Yellen and music by Albert Gum-
ble; "China Dreams," by Raymond Egan and
Gus Kahn, music by Egbert Van Alstyne; "In
the Harbor of Love With You," by Haven Gil-
lespie, and music by Henry I. Marshall; and
"Sailin' Away on the Henry Clay," words by Gus
Kahn and music by Egbert Van Alstyne.
The new instrumental numbers include:
"American Beauty," waltz, by Henry J. Van
Praag; "Remorse Blues," by Henry Lodge;
"Moonlight Ripples," waltz, by Merle Von
Hagen; "Breath O' Spring," waltz, by Grace
LeBoy, and "Red Fox Trot," by Albert Gumble.
