Maestro Lerdo de "Pejada, leader of the Mexico City Tipica Orchestra, | wrote his first musical selection beforeq he had studied music and, though he has composed many numbers since, he | never has studied musical composition. He does not believe in studying com- posing, he said yesterday over an old- fashioned American breakfast of bacon and eggs. Music, tp really take hold of the listener, the maestro said through an interpreter, must come from the talent naturally, being the son of an accomplished pianist. His son, Mis guel, now is carrying on, having weite ten several musical selections, one’s waltz which he dedicated to Amelia Earhart and for which he received her hearty thanks on one of her visits to Mexico City. Miguel also leads | the Tipica Orchestra when he can | get his father to allow fit.

With ticket sales booming, Washing- ton today is awaiting its first interna- | tional foot ball game with the expecta- tion of seeing one of the most colorful spectacles ever presented in the city. The High School All-stars of Mexico City will meet Central High School at Griffith Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock for the benefit of the ‘Washington Police Boys' Club. Ceremonies, in which the idea of good will between the two neighboring republics will be the motivating pur- pose, will begin about 45 minutes be- fore the game. Flag Raising Scheduled. Under direction of Col. Wallace M. Craigie, commandant of cadets, a flag- raising ceremony will be held. Officials at the stadium refused to allow new flag poles to be placed, so instead two of ihe poles atop the grandstand will be used to hoist the colors of the United States and Mexico. Attended by a company of cadets and the two teams, the cadet band of more than 50 pieces will play the Mexi- can national anthem as the flag of that country is raised. The Boys’ Club Band, dressed in new red and blue uniforms, will represent Mexico and play the “Star Spangled Banner” as the American colors are raised. The cadets, partly armed with rifles and some with sabers, will salute the two national insignia and completion of the ceremonies will be a signal to start play Teams Are Confident. Both teams are confident. Robert P. Martin, coach of the youthful vis- itors, is certain Central won't places” through his line. Hardy Pearce, Ceniral coach, is positive his charges will “go places” through the Mexican line. ‘Today's program for the boys, one of rest before the battle, consists of seeing two foot ball games. This morning they were guests at the an- nual Thanksgiving classic of North- ern Virginia — Washington-Lee High School and George Washington High | at Baggett Field, Alexandria. This afternoon they will be guests of George Washington University at Central Stadium when the Hatchet men meet North Dakota University. Accompanied by Girls. At both games the boys were ac- | companied by a group of attractive schoolgirls who have made the visit of the youngsters memorable. Already the girls are using Spanish idioms and the boys are adept at American slang. Yesterday the Mexico City Tepica Police Band, through the courtesy of Maestro Lerdo de Tejada, pre- sented a concert at The Star for the owners and employes, and their | reception was such that the maestro began to fear he wouldn't be able to get his musicians to the Pan-Amer- ican Union in time for their concert there. At the union the band received an ovation from a select group that overflowed the auditorium. From -every auditor there was extravagant praise of the organization and hun- dreds classed the concert as the great- est they, ever heard and by far one of the best ever presented in Wash- ington. Visit to White House. Earlier in the day the boys were Yeceived at the White House, and in company with a group of young American translators, were shown through the building. Dr. Rafael Fuentes, first secretary of the Mexican Embassy, and Capt. Gonzalo Herrera, military aide of President Cardenas, also accompanied the group and they were received by & representative of the Department of ; State. In the afternoon the boys held “skull practice” at the Harrington Hotel. use of the field at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington County, but at the last minute decided against the workout. Guest ai Embassy. Today Maestro Lerdo de Tejada was | & guest at the embassy along with a | number of personal aides. There he received the official thanks of his Gov- ernment for the concert at the Pan American Union. Shortly before that ‘time, Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the Union, called upon the band leader at his hotel to thank him. Tickets are still available at the downtown hotels, sporting goods houses and all police stations. At the ball park they will be avail- able all day tomorrow.

And this can- not be done by harsh methods.

Baldwin, who after the great victory of the Tory party is less sanguine than before the elections, was glad to give Mussolini this last chance.

Although it is doubtful that Mussolini will accept terms which he has rejected once before, the French hope he may come back with some | counter proposals which might be ac- | ceptable to the British. o Direct Taxes Gain.

Must Knew People. Maestro de Tejada believes it 1s necessary to live among the people and know their joys and sorrows from ac- tual experience in order to write music with this sincerity. In writing his compositions, most of which are very popular in Mexico, he has often gone directly to the homes of the ancient Indian tribes of the country—the Aztecs, Mayans and Toltecs—picking up music they have handed down through the ages as his sources and tuating Mexican folk music. The maestro likes the United States and has been here a number of times. When the Pan-American Exposition was held in Buffalo in 1901 he just missed seeing President McKinley's assassination. Six years ago he made a theater tour, with his orchestra, last- ing 58 weeks. The United States, the maestro feels, offers many more opportunities to artists than other countries and treat talent sympathetically. These opportunities were not afforded him when he first started composing, though after he managed with much difficulty to have his songs published, they became very popular. For this reason he likes to take poor composers, who are attempting to gain a foothold, and, if they show | promise of talent, allow them to lead | the Tipica Orchestra in their own compositions. Admires American Music. Maestro de Tejada. while he, of | course, is partial to the music of his own country, has a good deal of admiration for American music. He prefers music of the type of Ferde | Grofe's “Grand Canyon Suite,” and George Gershwin's “Rhapsody in Biue” is one of his favorites among American compositions. Even the dance music written in the United States, he says, is de- veloping a definite Thythm and form- ing into a very defjnite type, as have the native songs of older | countries. American music is all that is plalyed for dancing in Mexico, | according to the leader. | The maestro feels, however, that | American music should be played sil A D. L.
