ball game that will undoubtedly at
tract a large crowd will be played
here tomorrow afternoon when the
crack Clarendon nine is TO meet
the local team. This game will
have no bearing on the county Sc

a Sevcik pupil.
National Prize at II.
Wilkinson was presented in re-

tablishment of a New York connec-
ton which eventually led to wilk-
inson's appearance with the great
Caruso at the historical Ocean
Grove concert in 1918. Then he was
chosen by John Mccormack to tour
with the Irish tenor. His later
triumphs have fully kept pace with
those of his earlier concert days
The erstwhile Miss Maloney had
played accompanies for Marcian
Talberg. at Cincinnati. studied al
the conservatory in that city and
later was engaged by Eugene Ysaye
as accompanist. Her marriage fol-
lowed her graduation from the con-
servatory. Since then the Wilkin-
sons have appeared in concert with
Anna Fitziu. Ciccolini, Dorothy Jar
don, de Segurola, Galli-Curci, and
other luminaries.
In the recent contests, Wilkinson
was one of two artists chosen from
900 aspirants for the solo posts with
the symphony.

Boom Is Under Way,
Dealers Say.

That the fall increase in realty
activities is under way was demon
strated last week when sixteen bum
galows butt by Shannon and Lurhs
on Fourteenth street terrace, the
subdivision on Thirteenth street,
between Hamilton and Ingraham
streets, were all sold. although
some of them are as vet uncom-
pleted.
Mr.. Shannon said yesterday that
from the inquiries and interest
shown in the building operation. the
firm coud have sold many more
homes had they been ready for i'm
mediate occupancy.
Forty-three-Foot Lots.
The OTIS are forty-three feet wide,
which allows ample space between
the houses, which are set back from
the building line far enough to give
a very attractive front. Four pleas
ing styles of front elevation are
used. Arthur B. Heaton, Washing.
ton architect. drew the plans.
In eight of the houses the first
floors include a<sun parlor, living
room. dining room, pantry and
kitchen, while in the other eight q
bedroom supplants the sun parlor
Each house has three bedrooms an6

fixtures, high sinks in the kitchen,
and a coat and umbrella closet with
a bookcase front in each living
room.

This firm has built many home!
in this section in recent years. ant
the success of this latest operation
guarantees the immediate renewa
of the bungalow building program
in the near future.
