ANNUAL STATE Music
FESTIVAL AND CONTEST
TO he Held At Dover Friday And
Saturday, April - And %.

The second annual Statewide mu
sic Festival and Contest will be helC
at Dover. Friday and Saturday, Apri
p and %. Up to the present time 75l
children have enrolled TO attend this
Festival and Contest. 1t is estimated
that about 1000 will take part.
The interest in the State Festiva
and Contest has bten greater than
had been anticipated by those who
organized the movement. Similar
Statewide festival programs are
conducted in some forty other states
of the country where an interest
similar to that found in Delaware
has been evident.
The purpose of the festival is to
bring together outstanding musical
pupils from each school to sing UNI
der the inspirational leadership of a
musician and teacher of national
prominence and to give groups and
individual pupils an opportunity to
evaluate their own work in COM
parison with other pupils of the
same age.
A musical achievement test is a
part of the contest program. 5000
children in Delaware have taken the
preliminary tests i'll order to gain
the right to represent their local
schools at this event. In this way
the beneficial effects of the contest
reach into practically every school
of the State.
The judge for the contest will be
Augustus D. Zanzig, one of Ameri-
cas- foremost authorities on school
and community music. He is author
of Music in American Life" one of
the most outstanding musical publi-
cations of the past year. As a stu
dent he graduated from the Institute
of Musical Art in New York City in
piano, voice and composition, hav-
ing been a private pupil of two of
the worlds leading musicians at the
present time: Ernest Bloch and
Christian Sinding. For a number of
years he taught lat Harvard UDiver-
sity and at the present time is the
specialist for the National
Recreational Association of Ameri-
ca. The committee in charge feels
that it will be a rare opportunity for
The musical young people of the
State to come in close contact with
4 man of this type.

MAN|CH MEETS
.LONDOS MAR. 81.

On account of his surprising
victory over Sander SZabo at
the Strand Theater last night,
Promoter Joe Turner today gave
George Manich the feature match
with Champion Jimmy Londos
at the Washington Auditorium
next Thursday night.
Manich'S victory over the skill
full Szabo stunned the packed
house at the Strand, but it was
a victory well greeted by the
wrestling patrons. Manich con-
sumed 3812 minutes to pinion
Szabo to the mat with a body
press in one of the fiercest
matches here this winter.
Referee Cautious
So rough and furious was the
tangling that Referee Benny
Bortnick cautioned both gladia-
tors at least a dozen times.
There were several hefty punches
delivered by both matmen, while
both did plenty of kneeing and
kicking.
The last five minutes produced
the tensest wrestling action ever
seen in Washington. They flipped
each other about with slight re-
gard as to where the enemy would
land.
Manich Survives
It seemed that Sander Szabo was
about to win when the Hun
garian applied body slams and
back drops, but Manich survived.
Szabo staggered around, very
tired wrestler, and Manich rushed
in to put on the finishing touches
with a body slam followed by a
body press.
Fred Grobmier won over Frank
Speers in the semi-final when
SpeerS was unable to continue
after being pushed by Grobmier.
They had wrestled 291a minutes

should experience a better season
at bat than during last years
disastrous campaign. Normally a
$50 hitter, he should once more
reach his stride, once the season
begins, because of being in better
shape.
Heine, who arrived yesterday
afternoon, looks great and backs
this up by telling the world he
feels fit and confident of playing
a much better game both at field
and at bat than at any time
during 1881.
Barely Hit 300
The big Dutchman barely hit
over the 300 mark last season.
This was because of boils which
kept him in pain most every
minute of the campaign. No
wonder he fell off in his hitting
as we'll as fielding when it was
agony for him to even put on a
Uniform at the usual hour every
day.
But this year it's going to be
different, according to Heine.
Legs strong, boils all gone, he
says. All of which means he's
ready to take an old-time sock at
the ball even though he hates
the yearly spring training grind.
Getting back to the original
idea of this yarn, Sam West
should experience little difficulty
in continuing the stride he set
for himself last season now that
he has arrived" Sam is showing
that it shouldn't by the manner
in which he is cutting at the ball
in the daily batting practice seS-
SionS.
Then there is Myer and Kuhel.
The first named looks even better
than the others in regards to
making a name for himself at
the bat. The young second sacker
is lining 'em out stronger than
ever before in the stick drills,
which gives every indication that
his eyes and timing are better
than last season.
Kuhel Stands at Plate
Kuhel is standing up to the
plate more dangerously than dur,
ing 1881. Also he is getting
plenty of distance in his base
knocks to the outfield. 1t stands
to reason that he should be a
stronger hitter this year because
of the experienced gained in 1881

DUB BOWLERS
IN FINAL
ROUND
BY GINO SINH

With the country's leading
duckpin-biffers battling for the
national championships in Nor
folk. less than 200 miles away,
the fans are inclined to neglect
the snappy action carded within
reaches of our fair metropolis. But
a brilliant round of special events
are on the menu for tomorrow
night.
Not the least of these is the
opening block of John Blick's
fourth annual husband-wife tour
nament at the Arcadia tomorrow
night.
Big Stars Enter
Many a big man star and his
frau and many a pin wizardeSS
and her husband will strive for
glory. for there is no money to
be won. TIE winners will be
awarded a handsome silver
trophy.
There is no entry fee charged.
The only expense is the price OF
the games rolled. as almost every
man or woman who likes the
popular indoor game rolls at least
five or six games week, Bllck
believes that around 35 pairs will
take the drives tomorrow night.
The final block will take place
Tonight and tomorrow night
also marks the end Of Bill
Woods Dub" Sweepstakes, which
have provided more real, unex-
pected thrills per square than
many greater spectacle. 1t will
take place at the Lucky Strike.
Frank McNey is leading, hav-
ing ousted Tony Maley in the
second set, when he added an
other fine set to his first effort,
as Maley floundered badly. How
ever, there are many a crow
croaking ominouSly in regards to
Franks chances. Two sets such
as he has already rolled bode
none too good for his final try.
He has been averaging around
118 for the first 10 games, and
it isn't in the books for a 1O6
bowler to carry the pace through
Is games.
Half of Field Has Chance
At least half of the field has
an even chance of coping the
first prize. expected to be around
$125 and so out of the 78 entries
can still look forward to cash
ing some of the other prizes. The
leaders: McNey, 1,183; B. Law

Maley. 1.16O; CordeIl, 1,159; R.

Tomorrow night out Bethesda
way, Henry Hiser's Whatateam,
former national champions, will
tackle the toughest crew to come
out of Baltimore in many moons.
At least that's what their press
agent claims.
