LACK Of FUNDS
MAY CLOSE
"C" MEET

The annual Central &C" Club
track meet is in doubt this year.
Lack of funds is the big hold-up.
However, Albert E. Conradis,
president of the &C" Club, today
said plans we're going forward to
raise the necessary finances to
carry on the event which for the
past Is years has been one Of
the highlights of each spring
scholastic season.
The date for the event this
year is May Is. Scholastic teams
are holding this date open until
word is received that the meet
is to be cancelled.
Two basketball games are on
the scholastic schedule today.
Western plays Georgetown Prep
at Western at $3.50 and Gonzaga
entertains Westinghouse High
at Gonzaga in an o'clock night
feature.
Five contests were played yes
terday. Gonzaga defeated Alex
andria High, 26 to %; Tech tri-
umphed over Charlotte Hall, 48
to %; Mt. Rainier defeated Bowie,
So to 10; Friends won from Ian
don Prep, 80 to 10; Georgetown
Prep outscored Rockville, "a to
81, and Sherwood Props defeated
woodward Prep, Is to 10.

Of rs District deputy game
wardens, who prior to May l,
1888, were receiving S1,5OO per
annum but through mutual
agreement, accepted $1,000 per
annur4. The new budget reduces
the salary of these men to $40
per month, or $3.50 per annum.
again, the serious decrease
in the 1861 budget will be
very unfortunate, as it will
compel the adjustment of a
great many activities which the
department has been maintain
ing, especially the game refugees
as they cannot be maintained.
If we had $5OO,OOO appropriated
annually, we could not meet the
demands of the sportsmen of
this State.
Therefore, it is very I'M
fortunate that our governor has
seen fit to abolish the State
game protection fund and have
receipts from the hunters lie
enses, ETC., revert directly 90 the
general treasury to be apprOpri-
ated through the budget be-
cause you will find in the future
each budget will annually reduce
the fund contributed by the
SpOrtSmen which should, by all
means, be dedicated for the pro-
lection and propagation Of
game. And, with the millions Of
dollars appropriated through
the budget, it does seem un-
reasonable that the spOrtsmen
of the State should be made
the goat"

Love Story Of Franz Schubert
Is Told on BeIasco Screen

The Gaumont-British picture
based on a legend concerning
Franz Schubert's Symphony in B.
Minor opened at the Belasco
Theater yesterday.
unfinished Symphony" IS a
touching and sentimental tale of
an unhappy love. Its chief charm
is the beautifully orchestrated
score made up of Schubert'S ex-
quisite music with the haunting
strains of the lovely unfinished
symphony accentuated through
out.
In the present version Of Schu-
bert's one frustrated love affair,
the girl is Countess Caroline,
daughter of the proud and noble
Count Esterhazy, who tricks his
daughter into marrying a more de-
Sirable husband, an officer OF the
Hungarian Army.
Franz had been Caroline'S music
master when the shy young mu-
sician and the gay and playful
countess fell in love. When Count
Esterhazy learned of the attach
ment between his daughter and
the poor musician, he sent the lat
ter to Vienna on an errand Tor
him and then had the news
broken to him that he was not to
return. .
The unhappy Schubert worked
on his Symphony in B Minor until
he found suitable ending for it
and, Just as he finished it, he re-
ceived an urgent message to re-
turn to Hungary. He arrived in
time to see Caroline leave the viii
lage church on the arm of her hus-
band. Then he played his SYM
phony in honor of the bride but,
when he came to the new ending,
the brides tears interfered with
Schubert's playing and he resolved
never to play the finished piece
again. He destroyed the pages he
had just written and thus, so the
legend runs, has Schubert's I'M
mortal piece of music come down
to us.
inertia Eggberth, who is soon due
in Hollywood to appear in a pic
ture opposite Jan Kiepura for Uni
versal, plays the role of Caroline.
She has a lovely soprano voice and
is an attractive blonde, who looks
not unlike Mae Murray. Helen
Chandler is lovely as the little
pawnshop girl who falls in love
with Schubert, when the latter

Clever New Faces
At the end Producer Carroll
offers a brand-new idea, with each
principal introducing himself to
the audience from the motion pic
ture screen. Clever. And judging
by the applause you could rate
the bell ringers Of Sketch BOOK
in this order:
1. Comedian Ken Murray who
is the Pooh-Bah of the skits with
some nifty aid from two stooges,
Milton Charleton and Sassafras.
2. Sibyl Bowan, who offers an
entirely new way of tying up such
movie stars as Carlo, Swanson,
Dietrich and Beatrice Lille with
historical figures.
3. The Dancers. That includes
two show-stopping teams, Moore
and Ravel, Duffin and Draper
Fast tapping by Sunny O'Dea'
Wand waving ballet by Mile
Nirska.
4. Principals new to the revue
world: Billy Raves who combines
dancing, juggling and bright chat
ter with a Gene Raymond appear.
ance. Johnny Broderick and
Elaine Arden, a fine low comedy
team. Robert Williams with
something new in an animal act;
the Hudson busters, two marvel
GUS acrobats.
S. Still waiting to be placed ad-
vantageouSly: The Three Ritz
Brothers who strive too hard only
to prove that Man On the Fly
ing Trapeze" is now such a chest
nut it bores. Peter Higgins whose
robust baritone needs better songs.
Sketch Book" is on the way to
the New York Winter Garden
where it expects to make the sum-
mer gayer. I think it will fill the
bill when Mr.. Carroll edits its
many pages, for it is rich in cos.
tunes, settings, beauty and talent,
requiring but little polish to gilt
ter brightly.
