THE SORORITY SINGERS
Character Songs and Stories Delight
fully Rendered

A critical Chautauqua public has
placed it's very definite stamp of ap-
prevail on the delightful and some
what unique program of the Sorority
Singers, who are to appear here at
Chautauqua this season. This organ
izatiOn consists of iOuI Well-knoWn
vocalists, with unusually fine voices,
splendid musicianship and an alum
dance Of refined features which makes
their program quite a bit different
from the ordinary entertainment pro-
gram.
Each voice has been carefully
chosen for it's range and quality, with
the idea of perfect ensemble, as well
as individual artistry, kept upper
most in mind. The immediate results
more than compensated for the pains
taken in the selection of the voices,
for the Sorority Girls were a distinct
hit from Their first appearance sever
al seasons ago. Individual artistry
shines out, of course, but in addition
a beautiful blending of voices has been
. attained, capable of great variety and
most colorful interpretations. Per
sonality, too shines forth and lends
additional charm to the PROGRAM of
this group. Throughout the program
runs a motif of old college songs that
takes one back to the campus days at
the old "co-ed" school. There is a
college atmosphere running through
out the program, enhanced by the
charm and graciousness of the four
talented young ladies who make up
the quartet. The program Is unusu-

something that Fair visitors will mar
vel at and always remember. Inc
flowers will be arranged with an eye
to their beauty and color as we'll as
the natural beauty which nature gavt
them.
The competition for the kitchen
cabinet offered by Miller Brothers,
which will go to the woman who bakes
the best three articles from Ceresota
Flour, has attracted the attention OF
the cooks and housewives within a
radius of fifty miles. The competition
is well worth entering and these wom-
en- promise the greatest display OF
baking skill ever attempted in the
east
Sensational harness and running
races, thrilling auto races, the finest
horse show, the most sensational vau-
deville program of ten big open air
ats, the most amusing Midway, the
nerve racking auto polo games, with
the finest band music, all combine to
assure the best Fair Delaware has
ever witnessed.

ally strong, with plenty of variety
and with two costume changes.
The Personnel
Miss Estelle Van Horn-Miss Van
Horn is first soprano and imperson-
ator. She has made an enviable place
for herself among Lyceum patrons
with her unfailing good cheer and
courtesy. She interprets with real az
tistry and possesses unusual platform
talents. She gives her songs and
readings an individuality that is not
easily forgotten.
Miss Ethel Carter-Miss Carter
sings second soprano and also gives
delightful pianologues, which have
become most popular feature of the
Sorority Singers program.
Miss Muriel Shewan - Miss Shw-
an is Canadian girl, the possessor
of lovely contralto voice. Her solo
renditions are worthy Of more than
passing note.
. Miss Frances Northam-Miss Nor
than sings second contralto and is the
pianist with the organization. She
has one of those rare low voices of
wide range and luscious quality. Her
piano work is exceptionally good. If
there is any attribute that impresses
itself upon the audience throughout
the Sorority Girls program, it is tn:
atmosphere of genuine charm which
is prevalent at all times. Perhaps
this is one reason for the widespread
popularity of the Sority Singers.

DELAWARE STATE FAIR
OPENS SEPTEMBER 9Th
Meeting This Year Will Have Many
New Features. Thousands Of
Exhibits Listed.

Thousands OF entries, many OF
which were made on the last three
days Of last week, assure the most
Wonderful exhibits and keenest COM
petitions that have ever been witness
ed at any Delaware State Fair, which
this year will open on September 9th
continuing to and including the 18th.
In the womens' and children's depart
ments the display Of fancy work, GRO
cheting and knitting will delight the
eyes of every woman who loves to
ply the needle for profit or recrea-
ton. In the vegetable and fruit de-
partments the Rose Hill, Brandywine,
Trophy and Fruitland Oranges will
have the largest and most profuse
display of things to eat So heavy are
the entries that extra staging and
equipment is being built to accom-
modate the grange displays. It's the
same way with the cattle department
which this year is featuring the Hol
stein snow. All of the breeds, Jersey,
Guernsey, Herefords are entered in
great numbers as well as the Holstein
Show which is backed by the national
and Delaware Associations. In fact
the biggest concern of General Man
ager Lewis P Pandall is how he is go
ing to satisfactorily accommodate the
EXHIBITS entered in the various clas~
ses. In order to do this, he has en-
gagged extra help for few days so
that things may be ready to receive
the exhibits on Saturday, September
6 and Monday the 8.
The Floral show this year will be
the most magnificent of any ever seen
in this part of the country. The pro-
fessional gardeners from the large es-
tates in northern Delaware and lower
Pennsylvania, known as the Delaware
Horticultural Society are working
theoretically to make the flower show

WORCESTER DEMOCRAT, poCoMoKE CITY, MARYLAND

This statement and estimate is bas-
ed upon personal observations of the
county agents and the writer, who
has recently visited the large tomato
growing regions of the State.
It is believed that the total yield of
canning house tomatoes will be ap-
proximately so per cent of last years
crop.
While a larger acreage planted to
tomatoes this year was early indi-
Gated, adverse weather conditions have
reduced the yielding acreage to a
bout $4,000 acres, which is about
equivalent to that of 1922.
It is doubtful if there will be grea:-
err than an average yield Of 214 tons
per acre, although some fields would

LEAGUE IS
PLANNED
Louis Doyle Forming Plans to
Aid Growth of Tennis
Competition

Under the direction Of Louis I.
Doyle, tennis teams from each Of
the five municipal tennis courts,
will be organized into a league In
the early spring. The idea Of hav.
Ing a municipal tennis league has
been. fermenting in Doyle's mind
for the past few years, and he had
instilled the idea into the minds Of
the municipal tennis players.
The idea is to have each tennis
court, such as the Reservoir courts,
Potomac Park courts, and Mon1-
ment Lot courts, effect an organi.
cation and work out their own
teams. Then these teams will COM
pete for the city championship,
and the winning team win defend
inter-city laurels.
In the past, there has been one
big tourney, with all players en-.
tered. The players who made up
the team which played other cities
were chosen in that tourney, and
Mr.. Doyle's idea Of having separate
organizations viii assist in deter.
mining the rightful players. It will
also have the effect Of building SEQ.
tional rivalry.
The early spring is expected to
see the formation of a tennis league
with teams from each group Of
courts playing every Saturday.

BY all that ID good and holy,
Georgetown should be returned a

in spite Of the fact that the Third
Corps can play any man on the
squad, be he officer or buck private.
Georgetown ought to revel In an
afternoon Of kicking the everlasting

Hilltoppers have been brought
along gradually until now they can
hold their own with the best IN the

game against Pennsylvania.

names have been wont TO scare op-

stars and college stars, not to men.
ton the pick Of the service men.
But they have not the power,
either extensively or defensively,
that Georgetown boasts of.
Coach Lou Little has not as yet
geared his offensive game into high
speed. But with his defensive game
holding the visitors to a low score,
or to nothing at all, then he
doesn't need any great amount of
points for victory. Waite, one Of
Rutgers former stars, and other in
eligibles, can be used In the game.
Whether or not they will depends
upon the coach. Waite alone is

And the Old Liners will be better

GENE AND PAL
FACE STIFF
MATCH

Practice rounds at the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club by
Roland Mackenzie, District cham
pion, and Dave Thomson, club pro,
who will team up in an exhibition
match Sunday with Gene Sarazen
and Johnny Farrell, showed that
the latter two will have to step
lively to take the laurels away
from the local prides. While neither
Mackenzie nor Thomson broke any
records in their session, both shot
good golf.
The most encouraging feature Of
their round, which was played
with Walter r. McCallur1, club
champion, and Fred D. Paxton,
was that the best ball Of the pair
was SO, or one under par. Com.
parison of the card Of McCallum
and Mackenzie showed that the
best ball would have been 65. Nc.
CalIum had brides on those holes
where Mackenzie was one over
par.
Thomson knows every portion Of
the course by heart, Mackenzie in
the spring, won the invitation
tournament of the club, so he, too,
ID well acquainted with the dan.
ger spots on the course. Both
should do well against Sarazen and
Farrell.

Norfolk did It in three rounds
and Sam Langford needed but
two to convince Flowers of his
youthful folly. Jamaica Kid, a
right tough lad at times, stopped
Flowers In two rounds and Lee
Anderson did It In seven. Nor
folk repeated the stunt in one
round.
But Tiger Flowers never got
his title by being knocked out.
No. indeed, he got it by knocking
out twenty-one foes. It must
be admitted that he has yet to
stop any well-known rival, that
Is, any boxer with q reputation.
But 1t must also be admitted that,
at least for a year or more, he
has boxed some pretty good men.
In 1922 he met with five Of
his six knockouts, but he also
tackled Billy Britton, Frank Car
bone and Andy Kid Palmer. Last
year, showing an Improvement in
his work, he faced Jamaica Kid,
Kid Norfolk, Panama Joe Cans,
Tut Jackson, Whitley Black, Jim
Flynn and George Robinson. The
latter is too tough for most Of
the leading middleweights in the
country.
Flowers was buried in Atlanta,
however. This explains why 30
little is known Of him in the
North. But he's done come moth
now and just watch the grand
scattering Of the so-called top
notchers among the middle
weights. They don't want any,
thing to do with a man who
knocks out two rivals in the same
ring one right after the other.
That guys too tough. He must
be a fighter. They are business
men Of the modern ring. There's
quite q difference.
