 Amateur Night Popular
WASHINGTON HILL

Workmen under the direction of William Single, caretaker of Wash 1 ington Park are at present getting the tennis courts in shape and they are expected to be ready for use by next week. Two of the courts are in excellent shape but the other one which was used for the first time last season lacks a fence and as a result it is necessary to chase after the ball. It is hoped by many of the players who use the courts daily that the park depart ment will erect a fence this year so that the three courts may always be in use.

 WATR Contestants

All arrangements were comp1et- ed today for the Amateur Night to be presented by WATR tomoA row evening at 7:30. Station Man ager George Duffy said that all was in readiness for the first pre- sentation of this excitingly new series which the local station will present for a studio and listening audience.

The prize will be named by the number of telephone calls which come in their favor while the program is in progress. The winners will be announced ut S:15 each Thursday, as soon as the votes have been tabulated. Extra phones and extra operators will handle the calls, listeners will be urged to call and register their choices for prizes in the contest.
 Cash prizes will be given to the winners, as well as a chance at regular radio series. They may all so be presented as guest artists on future Amateur Night programs.
 The Amateur Night program Is the first one which gives the ra- dio audience a real chance to pick it's own winner and not have to be satisfied with the vote of a group of judges or the uncertain judging of the amount of applause received by each contestant.
 Thursday nights opening pro. gram will bring to the microphone number of non-professionals who will be doing their very best to entertain. Amateur Night shapes up as great show, one that no WATR listener can afford to miss.
