Ju.IY 2, 1926 WILMETTE LIF . I; A·. ·c.'s Book Two I En Route to Paris Games for Double July 4th Holiday The Wilmette Athletic association baseball nine has booked an attractive double bill for the two-day Fourth of July holiday, having secured the Chicago Delmars for the Sunday afternoon engagement and the Winnetka Playfield nine for a contest Monday morning, July 5, at 10 .o'clock. The Monday game is of traditional interest and promises to bring out a record attendance of fandom . It is a part of the community Fourth of July program which is to take place on the Village Green west of the Howard school. Last Sunday Wilmette's entry lost a tough one to the Collegians of Chicago, 6 to 2. The score is by no means indicative of the game, since it was a ten -inning affair in which the locals held their strong rivals to a tie until a cluster of hits in the over-time session netted victory for the opposition. Hank Boesch pitched masterly hall for Wilmette, striking out nine men and allowing eight hits, three of which carne in the fateful tenth after an extended argument caused the hurler to "cool" off and lose his effectiveness. While playing a first class brand of baseball, the Wilmette team is not receiving sufficient financial support from the fans to permit an even break on expenses, it was stated this week by President Nord of the Athletic association. Strangely enough, the children have been .the staunchest backers to date. Last Sundav's contrihution showed a total of rnore than three hundred pennies in the "hat". The association is not in the bu sine ss of making money, hut it would like to come out even on the sea so n's play. In order to accompli sh that point, it mu st rely upon the appreciation of the fans, it is explained. ·1 Sojourn in South Mac's Bowling Lunch Opens Summer.Season With Burst of Poetry "Mac's Bowling lunch, you all know, Was open all winter, mid ice and snow..
