tofore for the outing. Reports from the cap- Piano Co. forces as traveling representative for
tains of the baseball teams manifest that they
are making good headway in getting two fast
aggregations together.
Webster E. Janssen, captain of the manufac-
turers' team, who, as stated in The Review last
week, is depending upon "Eddie" Reulbach, of
National League fame, to pitch for him, has
also planned to get such well-known players on
his team as Charles Jacob, Jr., William Jacob,
John Gittell, Harold Lovejoy, C. A. Cottrell,
and others.
On the other hand, "Jo e " McGeveran, who
did the honors last year as* captain of the "Sup-
ply Men," who came off victorious, has again
taken the reins and expects to have some sur-
prises in store for the manufacturers when they
get on the field.
All that seems necessary to make the day a
complete success will be fair weather.

"Supply Men" will play, was this week placed
on exhibition at the club rooms, 137th street
and Third avenue, New York. The annual base-
ball game this year will take place at Roton
Point Park, Roton Point, Conn., as stated in The
View of Roton Point Park,
Review last week, which is considered one of
the most attractive amusement resorts along the
Connecticut shore. The park is forty miles from
New York, and it is expected that the steamer
"Squantum," which has been chartered by the
club to carry the guests thereto, will make the
trip from East 138th street in about three hours
time. Therefore, the ball game should be'under
way by 11 o'clock.
The baseball trophy will be presented on the
same basis as the previous one, it being neces-
sary for the victorious team to win three out of
five games, and the name of the winning team
and the scores for each year will bre inscribed on
the back of the cup.
Albert Behning, chairman of the entertainment
committee, reports that great interest has been
shown in the outing this year, and that he has
made arrangements whereby the guests will en-
joy all the comforts possible as well as a greater
abundance of entertainments than heretofore.

In exploiting the merits of its advertising
columns, the New York American recently pub-
lished some very forceful copy under the cap-
tion "Music for Every Home," as follows:
"Deep in the heart of every human being
there is a love of melody and a desire to give it
expression or to hear it expressed for him.
"Music in the home is the surest means of cul-
tivating this natural instinct, which, thus culti-
vated, becomes the source of so much happiness.
"Music in the home has also its social side,
