WILL HEAR CALI CURCI

Many music lovers here will at
tend the concert to be given at
the Auditorium, Wilmington, to-
morrow, by Nine. Amelita CALI
Curci, the famous coloratura So
prano, and the reception in her
honor.
Tomorrow marks the fourth
anniversary of her American de-
but. On the same day in 1916
Nine. CALI Curci's name first ap-
peared on a program in this coun-
try, the then unknown singer TAX
ing the role of Gilda in Verdi's
"Rigoletto." On that occasion she
took the audience by storm. Her
popularity and fame have been
spreading by leaps and bounds
until today she is recognized as
the premier woman musical artist
in the United States, if not in the
world.
Although Delaware's many
music lovers have made repeated
attempts to bring Nine. CALI
Curci to Wilmington, this will be
her first appearance there. While
the Auditorium will seat 1000
persons, it seems likely standing
room only" will be the rule, as it
; has been in Baltimore and Wash
ington prior to the concerts.
Hundreds were turned away from
a concert of the singer in Wash

One of the most enjoyable af-
fairs given lately in the Presby-

Baraca Supper given by the
Ladies Auxiliary last night in
the lecture room. Despite the ex-
tremely stormy weather, about
eighty persons sat down to an
appetizing supper. The color
scheme was yellow. The decora-
tions of the room and of the
tables were in keeping with
Thanksgiving. One decidedly
pleasant feature of the evening
was the entertainment given by
the Minnehaha Band. Several
speeches. were made, games were
played and a general good social
time enjoyed by all.
The menu cards were printed
by Mrs. Geo. Wood and decorated
with the Thanksgiving emblem,

tatoes, corn, rolls and butter,

tagonist
Decisive Game will be Played
ON Frazer Field Saturday
Morning at 1890

What promises to be one of the
most spirited and closely contest
ed high school football games
which Delaware has enjoyed in
some time will be played next
Saturday, at 1870 a. m. on Joe
Frazer Field, Newark. Bridge
Vile High School, the Sussex
county Interscholastic Association
champions, will bring her strong
est team, we'll backed with con-
ident rooters, to prove that the
football crown of the State be-
longs in Sussex; while Newark,
playing on a local field, and fresh
from victories outside, as we'll as
within the State, has the honor of
New Castle to uphold. Both teams
will battle the harder, as from
preseason forecasts, neither one
will be strong factor in the de-
cisiOn of the coming champion
ship in basketball and base ball.
The Delaware Interscholastic
Athletic Association has been
formed with the idea of making
all high school sports absolutely
clean, and helping to bring ath-
letic sports forward as valuable
factor in education and support
to the more traditional type Of
school work. All students allow
to compete in the Association
contests, both preliminaries and
county and state championships,
must be in good scholastic stand
ing according to a strict set of
eligibility rules adopted by the
Association at it's organization
last year, and endorsed unreserv-
adly at the recent meeting of the
Association.
AS both Newark and Bridge
Vile have teams which are light,
but speedy, and play the new
style of thrilling open game as
we'll as smashing the line, a close
tussle is expected, and the crowd
which wends it's way to Joe
Frazer Field next Saturday morn
ing will be we'll repaid for attend
ing. Bridgeville has made good
record this season and for the ma
terial available, Coach Dodge,
former Penn State player has de-
veloped a fast and aggressive
team. The Athletic Association
is depending on gate receipts to
pay the expenses of the game and
are therefore anxious that all
persons interested in the High
School. or in the betterment of
high school athletics, lend their
support to the Association and to
the home team.
After this game, both teams

DELAWARE COLLEGE
FRESHMEN TO PARADE

Next Friday evening the men,
bers of the Freshman Glass at
Delaware College purpose having
a parade of which the Review has
the following to report:
Probably in the minds of some,
the Passing Show of 1920 is a
most superb spectacle, but if the
tentative plans of the Freshmen
for Friday night are successful,
Newark will be presented with
stupendous revue FAR surprising
any yet shown. One hundred men,
bers of the class of 1924 will form
the all-star cast of super excell-
ance and we feel safe to prophesy
that we are to have a whale of a
parade with laugh every minute.
No doubt there will be among
those present, many beautiful, al
Turing, enticing, baby-vamps(O in
company with singers(?), comed-
ians, and last but not the most un-
popular, Rhodes Scholars" the
hoboes.
The parade will form in front of
Old College Hall,.and after march
ing through Newark and the w. G..
D. village, everyone will gather
in the Commons for the Dickinson
smoker. During the smoker the
actors will show their wares and
to at least the best five, cash
prizes will be awarded by the
judges.

MANY CUNNERS
OUT LAST MONDAY
Report Game Plentiful and
Bring Home Full Bags

Not for several years have so
many sportsmen and others taken
advantage of the opportunity to
gun for bunny cotton tail' as did
last Monday. Before daylight those
of better vision than the ordinary
mortal were blazing away at
something, maybe for the sheer
delight of hearing the gun go off;
for surely it took unusual vision
to see rabbit at 6 a. m. AS early
as that, however, gunsshots were
heard in the fields adjoining South
Academy Street.
Rumors of plentiful game, the
resulpof an unusual year, brought
out many veterans who had not
gunned for years. Firearms of
the period as far back as the
hintlock and the blunderbuss were
taken down from the place of
honor on the wall. Charges there
for were secured from those
whose whose stock turnover ante
dates even that period and grand
dad" sailed forth "to show 'em
that his eyesight IS just as good
as it used to was" The amateur
with his first real gun, the sue
cessor of the air rifle with which
he potted blackbirds last year,
was out in force doing more than
his share of mischief with his
promiscuous shooting. The vet
eran of the world war who last
year vowed he never wanted to
handle gun again, experienced
a change of heart this year and
sailed forth seeking what he
might slay.
All day long the sound of the
guns were heard even in the Sec
tions of country adjacent to the
towns, and all day long the gum
ners kept returning, all as far as
could be learned with good bag.
Fewer trespass signs were in evil
dence than in previous years ac-
cording to gunners.
A slump in the price of scrapple
and other delicacies was evident
to Monday shoppers, the first real
and tangible evidence they have
noticed outside of the newspaper
records. On that day it was pos
sible to buy a loaf of bread for
seven cents and pound OF
scrapple for fourteen and fifteen
cents. Other meats were proper
tionatelya reduced due probably tc
the addition of rabbit to the fam.
lily bill of fare and the cores
ponding reduction in meat sales
The weather man after threat
ening rain or snow, sent in jok
ing mood, a handful or so of hal
and let it go at that. The weather
all day was cold but not to the
extent of making it uncomfort'
able. Those who put off the 60

both Extensively and defensively. In
the line he placed Bill Copeland, the
giant from Washington State, who has

every day has been sufficiently good to
warrant his starting against the Green.
Frank, who played right guard last
Saturday, was the first line substitute.
Happy Day, who impressed with his
swapping back last Saturday and in
his great defensive work, was seen
at the pivot position. Day has been

JUDGE lands
HEADS BASEBALL
Chicago Jurist Unanimously
Voted "Chairman" by
Sixteen Clubs

Chicago. Nov. 13. - Peace settled
over professional baseball when
the opposing factions in the reorgan E
ization of the game reached an agree
meut on every point at issue and thus
ended a war which for FIVE days ap-
parcntly had disrupted both major
leagues.
The end of the fight came when the
sixteen club owners voted Unanimously
to make Judge Kenesaw Mounta'n
Lands chairman Of baseball and
committee of one to act as final
Court of appeal In all matters Of dis
pute between the two major leagues
and any minor leagues which may Join
the majors in reorganization OF the
game. Judge Lands accepted the
proposition. but 1t was stipulated that
he might remain on the bench and
handle both positions.
Judge Landis' salary as chairman OF
baseball will be $40 800 a year and he
also will receive $500 a year as fed &,
eral Judge. giving him an annual
stipend of $4,000.
Each side in the battle made con
cessions before an agreement was
reached. but the meeting unanimously
control of baseball" included in the
Lasker plan which was fostered by the
eight National. and the Chicago, New
York and Boston American League
clubs, and which started the fight. This
plan originally was bitterly opposed by
President Byron Bancroft Johnson, OF
the American League, and the Phila =
delphia, Washington, Cleveland, st.
Louis and Detroit clubs, which sided
with him.
In other matters. however, the eleven
clubs favoring the Lasker plan conceded
points to the five opposing 1t. Instead
of a civilian tribunal as the governing
body of baseball, Judge Lands prob
ably win remain the final judge, al
| though the club owners may decide later
! to appoint two civilian associates to act
! with Judge Lands.
John Heydler, president of the Ma
tional League, made the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
~ am very happy over this solution
of the baseball problem. 1t is an up.
ward step for baseball and forever
eliminates politics from the nationa
game. One of the chief worries Of 6
league president Is to vote fairly In thu
national commission and / am glad t
be relieved Of that responsibility.
B. B. johnson. president of thu
American League, leader of the oppo
nents to the Lasker plan, received hit
first information concerning the meet,
ing from the Associated Press and ex
pressed pleasure at the action taken.
"I'm for Judge Lands. and ] thinl
these club owners have acted wisely,
he said. Baseball will be placed or
the highest possible standard now ant
there will be no more fights. am vel
satisfied with everything that took place
today"
