FESTIVAL Of MUSIC
TOBE MAY 10 TO z.
Date Is Set for Capitals First
Week of Harmony in
Spring.

The week from May 16 to 81 was
decided upon the time for Washing
tons first music festival at n meeting
at the District Building yesterday
afternoon Of the committee named by
Commissioner Rudolph to launch the
annual festival movement in the Ma
tiOnal Capital.
Displaying the same enthusiasm and
energy that has marked previous
meetings. the members present yester-
day took up and settled number of
important basic questions to guide
Col. Edward Clifford in his task Of pre-
pairing articles of incorporation and Il
constitution.
The following outline of organiZa-
ton was agreed upon
The organization will be named the
Washington May Music Festival Asso-
citation.
Its object will be set forward in the
articles of incorporation as an asso-
cation to work for the development of
appreciation and enjoyment for the
best music through the medium of an
annual festival in the City of Wash
Ington.
Dues for membership will be s. a
wear and those who belong TO the
association will be given the first OPP
portunity TO buy tickets for the
festival each year before the sale Is
opened to the general public. At the
suggestion of Charles j. Bell it was
decided TO seek 100 life members for
the association at 500 each.
The complete association would
elect a board of 80 directors and
the terms would be arranged so that
one third OF the board would go out
of office each year.
At the suggestion of Samuel j.
Prescott it was decided also to have
an executive committee of not to ex-
ceed seven members of the board OF
directors TO carry on the mass OF de
tail work that will be necessary in
for the festival each year.
With this foundation laid, the meet
Ing adjourned to enable Col. Clifford
to prepare the articles of incorpora-
ton and the constitution accordingly.
With this task completed, ii is eX
pected that plans will go forward
rapidly for the initial festival in the
Spring of 1926.
The decision to give members ot
the association preference in the
purchase of tickets for the festival
is expected to stimulate greatly the
applications for membership in the
organization, since those who belong
will be certain of getting seats.
Since it is the vision of those who
conceived the idea to stage in Wash
ington a festival of such caliber as
will attract lovers of good music from
other cities as well as those in Wash
ington, membership in the association
will prove an advantage when the
tickets are ready for distribution.
In adopting the principles upon
which the festival association will be
orga nized the committee had before it

the outlines of similar organizations
in other cities.
William $. Corby succeeded Gen
John l.. Chamberlain. resigned. as
chairman of the committee yesterday,
and promised TO exert every effort to
make the first festival a success.
Mr.. Corby in assuming his position
spoke of the difficulties that must be
overcome in the organization of the
association and the presentation OF
the Spring pageant, but he created
much enthusiasm when he declared
that no matter how difficult the task
ii could and would be accomplished in
Washington. He pointed the absolute
necessity of all those interested in the
success of the festival to pull together
until the desired goal is achieved.
Commissioner Rudolph and Mr.
Corby today announced that Clarence
A. Aspinwall had accepted the chair
manship of the finance and member
shin committee of the organiZat ton.

NEUN DETECTED
ON TIGERS
BENCH
Johnny Is Young and Ambi-
tious and Feels He's Co
ing to Seed

Johnny Neun, Baltimore boy sit.
ting on the Tigers bench, is dis.
couraged. Last year Neun was
one Of the most sensational players
in the game. At first base for
St. Paul he fieIded brilliantly and
hit over and around 400. The
experts spent the winter speculate
ing as to his future.
His future, from then, hasn't
been much. Ty Cobb wouldn't
trade him to another club and
claimed he couldn't send him back
to the minors again. So Neun
appears now and then as a pinch
hitter.
Neun is a young man and very
ambitious. He has served several
years in the minor leagues. He
has had his schooling in the Blue
Ridge, at Birmingham and at st.
Paul. He is ready for the big
show, but there's no job for him.
Lou Blue is too good.
In the meantime young first
sackers never so famous in the
minor leagues as Neun have gone
up and made good. Take the case
of Jimmy Poole. Last winter no
sensible manager would have traded
Neun for Poole. But the fates
put Neun on the bench and Poole
in the lineup of the Athletics.
Neun will still be On fhn bench
and Poole may be IN the World

AND AFTER
BY ROSS CoNKLTN-

Members Of the golfing family
of the Manor Club took sound
drubbing at the hands of the
Beaver Dam team in one Of the
most subdued matches ever held
here. Beaver Dam administered
a 12-to-6 beating on the Manor
boys, but they had their home
course to aid. Manor is yet firmly
intrenched in first place in the
three club series.
silent Dave Aud, member Of
the Manor Club, released the news
of his teams defeat. He recalled
somewhat firmly, the defeat his
club gave Beaver Dam on the
Manor course And he said that
three star members Of Manor were
absent. Dave Thompson, Jim Pat
terson, and Earl McAleer were
among those who were not there
when the matches were played.
The Washington golf profes-
SIGNALS and their cOmpatri0ts from
nearby States, Maryland, Virginia,
and Delaware, win qualify for the
Professional Golfers tournament,
on the Columbia Country Club
course the 18th of this month.
Whether the number to qualify
will be two, as last year, or whetl1.
er the pros will be allowed an adj
ditiOnal place has not been de-
termed.
Last year, Freddy Mcleod and
Bobby Barnett qualified for the
tournament, but Barnett did not
make the trip. Every professional
in Washington plans to entel the
play, and in addition there will be
the, pros from the Maryland clubs.
Virginia usually sends a couple of
it's men to qualify, and Delaware
sometimes has an entrant.
Because of the large number of
clubs which have blossomed here
in the past two or three years, the
professionals feel that they have a
right to get more than two or
three years, the professionals feel
that they have right to get more
than two places for the p. G. A.
tourney. Certainly, the teachers
around here have some very capable
men in their numbers. Freddy Nc
Leod, Bobby Barnett, Cliff McKim-
mie, Ralph Beach, A. B. Thorn,
Dave Thomson, Danny Horgan,
Jimmie Crabb, and others are right
ly eligible for P. G. A. honors.
Another tournament has bean
added to the list Of those to be
held hereabouts. The professionals
have effected an organization to
be known as the Middle Atlantic
Open. They propose to have the
leading amateurs of the Middle At
lantic States eligible for competition
against the professionals.
A. r. Bergman. secretary to the
tutors, had a meeting with himself
and some of his men, and they
decided that the tournament would
be held October &c and OF. The
place has not been chosen, nor
has the manner of play. It is
expected that medal play will be
the basis for determining the cham
pionship OF the Middle Atlantic

teams, one of them made up of

been right up among the select

Second to Zach the honors Of
the day went to Bucky Harris. The
little manager had a field day with
the willow. Four times he ap-
preached the pan and four times he
hit safely, real resounding wallops,
too. He shot two singles to left,
double to left center and a double
to the corner in right field. He
drove in three of his teams five
tallies, setting some 1000 shavers
wild out in the center field seats.
Ty Cobb sent Earl Whitehill in
against the champions and he was
far from invincble. eleven hits COM
ing off his stuff. However, his
support was good and his own
GOODNESS helpful so that only in
three frames were the Griffmen
able to count.

scoring two runs on three hits

second inning. Manush singled
to right. Zach picked up He'll

big pitcher when he plastered a
double to left center.
The champions tied the score IN
the fifth. SEVERED led off with a
safe rap to center, Zach sacrificing
him along. Again Bucky Harris
proved the boy in the pinch, polling
a double to the corner in right
field. SEVERED one-cylindered his
way over the pan from second with
room to spare.
The big inning for the champions
was the seventh, which is poetic
justice. Peck cracked a single TO
left for a starter. SEVERED fol-
lowed with a juicy double down
the left field line, scoring Peck.
SEVERED reached third on Fother-
gil1s faulty peg to the infield and
easily scored when Zach tripled to
