South Chicago defeated Ziejfter in the playoff for the State Legion title, the winner of which is to go to the sectional matches iff Iowa. The .games were played at Wrigley B^eld last Friday and Saturday, both of them going to the Cook county lads "by close scores. Seely Johnston of -Champaign, one of the leading sporting goods dealers at Champaign spent the past weekend visiting his old college pal, Bob Weber, and also crowded in a little golf and fishing. At golf he isn't so bad but when it comes to fishing on cold mornings, well; hereafter fcell dtaw the line. <;v' Yes, Yes,r The yo-yo craze has taken over the town- Every infant, youth, boy and grownup along Main street has his yo-yo top and what a time they are having. They tell pie that even Bay McGee has been practicing. The last wrinkle is to attach about fifteen feet of line to the top. Tbte secret i# to keep away from store window* when trying this.. • Baggy Morton may be considered an_old timer as far as baseball ages go, but her certainly seemed to be in his prime Sunday. He had everything necessary to stand the Athletics on their heads and allowed but one solid hit, though three were charged against him. He.^included ir his repertoire one of those balloon-drops that look like a balloon and then drop, a nice fast, ball with plenty of bop and excellent control. 'Nuf said. k About all the bad baseball that could be crowded into a game of baseball was turned loose by the Athletics in Sunday's first and third innings., One consolation is that maybe that is all there is left and should that be the fact, then there are some good baseball games ahead for the fans. But that 4is baseball and a team that looks good in winning usually does look frightful in d e f e | t , ; \ ; y , ; ^ ' y - ' V Wofrder tjaLe trampeled on Johnsburg Sunday with Manuses holding the river boys to three hjts. The score was three to one and the one run of the losers was unearned, being let in by Regner's muff of a pop fly. The Lakers presented a re-arranged lineup with Freund on first and Regner__ Qjj third, Butler tieing moved to the outfield and Wahl to the bench. .The: victory- was somewhat unexpected and raised Wonder Lake's stoclc considerably^- enough so that they have scheduled another game with the A's. '• " ' What some of the fans were trying to .figure out after the game Sun-, day was what LaBahn and Ervim were talking about while Brack was stealing third. LaBahn walked in from third to try and quiet Ervin and the base was left open so that all Brack had to do was move over from second. It either had to de with a trip to West Chicago 0r the inability of the A's to.get through the .first inning without being scored upon. * M£MelIan's Merrimacs. one of the leading teams in the Midwest league and a leader among ChTcago aetnipro nines, has very fortunately been secured by Manager Walt Freund tef yiay in McHenry next Sunday- Th^ Merrimacs have been up against some tough competition all season and are coming to McHenry highly „ recommended. Whether or not McHenry really deserves to be rated with the teams in the Midwest wity be determined by the game Sunday. / STATE LIKE WINS TPFROM ATHLETICS 11-3 Bobby Burke of the Washington Senators took the prize for the weekend by hurling a no-hit, n<S-run game against thp Boston Red Sox on Satr urday. Webb, last man up for Boston, looked at the last two strikes, a mighty nice thing fe- under the circumstances. Seems as if the raised seams on the new ball be giving the pitchers a little more ^advantage and puts then? back upon level footing with the sluggers* And we «ton't mean Hack; Jack Smith and Sidney Frye, membera* of the local rifle club, have again gained recognition by being chosen as members of the State Civilians Rifle team to represent Illinois at the national matchcs at Camp Perry, O. Whether or not either one will be able to attend the matches is as yet undecided. Camp Perry is in the neighborhood of the home of Harvey Barron, a former resident of McHenry, who was much delighted last season to receive a visit from Lester Bacon and Jack Smith .while they, were attending the national meet. - Speaking of first innings fetninds one of the pitching achievement of Guy Bush in holding the St. Louis Cards to one hit, a scratch affair that might have gone into the books as an error had the scorer been so inclined. In the early seasop this same Bush had a terrible time getting by the first inning without six or seven "funs being pushed «ver dfihis expense. Now comes this narrow escape from entering the hall of fame and all because of a first inning misstep by Woody English. And on the same day the White Sox were held to one hit by the St. Louis Browns by Coffman. Insulin is used now to iricrt>ase the weight of thin persons because of the enormous appetite It produces.--Collier's Weekly. t > A iuwrtEng display of inefficiency for the first three innings of the ball game by the Athletics, allowed the visiting State Liners to assume an insurmountable lead of seven runs which wrote finis to the ball game then and there. Baggy Morton was supreme in all but the third when the A's touched him up for three runs and for a minute looked as if they really knew they were in a game but it proved to.be jvjst a flash and Baggy then recovered his equilibrium sufficient tp allow him to finish the game in great styles LaBahn took ever the mound duties after the five run splurge by the visitors in the third and from then until the case was hopeless he held the fort. He weakened when he realized the apparent hopelessness pi ike task and four runs were tallied in the last -two innings.' *-j. Ervin started on the mound and it wasn't all his fault that he didn't finish. He wasn't the "big boy" that he was against the Majors two weeks ago, when he held them to seven hits as his control ww bad, but this may have 'been aggravated by the lapses in his supporting cast, both mental and physical. Captain Pela set the boys off on the wrong foot when he dropped FreundV throw on the first play of the game. It was a very easy chance and Pela was more startled than any when the ball trickled, from' his glove. Brack attempted to sacrifice but missed and Schmit stole second. Brack then doubled to left and Schmit scored- LaBahn walked to thfe pitching mound to steady Ervin and Brack stole thiri with no one covering the bag. Silvey flied to center with Dahn making a nice catch coming in to the edge of the grass for the catch. M. Madden flied to Buhrow close t?b the foul line and Brack scored. C. Madden was out, LaBahn to Pela. Harold Freund led off with a scratch single, the first of his three infield hits. Buhrow laid down a perfect sacrifice and Freund might have made third but chose to st3op at second. Morton and Schultz got Dahn and LaBahn fanned for the third out. In the second Brunswick got a hit for the Liners with two down and the A's went out in order. Then the fun began, for the Liners. Schmif got a hit into left that went for tWo\ bases. Brack duplicated but Buhrow looked like he might catch the ball and Schmit had to stop at third. Silvey walked. M. Madden then bounced to Freund who threw to Fay in time to force Schmit at the plate but Fay was on a vacation mentally and neglected to touch the plate. He tagged the runner instead which- might have been right but he. dropped the ball land all hands were safe. C. Madden then swling hard but tapped the ball lazily down the first base line and Ervin's scoop to Fay was too late to get Brack. Schultz banged one at M- Whiting, who was playing: close to the pitcher's mound and Mel threw him out at home. Fay was learning fast and stepped on the plate to force the' runner at third and then threw to first for a neat double play. Casey then showed up his namesake by coming through with a neat single to left which scored the Madden boys. He; took second on Buhrow's useless throw to the plate and continued to third when it went over Fay's head to the backstop. Ervin then made his final ge&tufe, a wild pitch that allowed Casey to score ^the fifth run of the inning on three tjits. LaBahn fanned Brunswick, to -conclude the pathetic stanza:r. Fortified by his big league the old, time Morton got big hearted and with the help of his mates handed out three runs- to the locals, all on one hit. Fay hit one that Morton juggled and then allowed to get away from him. Johnson, who had replaced LaBahn at third when he went in to pitch, flied to Schmit but H, Freund seratehe& «n®ther hit, this <me a-liner that bounced close enough to Silvey to aijow him to knock it down. Buhrow then topped one in front of the plate and all hands were safe when Brack afctenppted to get the man at second, but waa too late. Dahn forced Buhrow at second, Fay scoring, and Freund taking third. Dahn stole second. Freund scored and- -Dahnwent to third on a: wild pitch. LaBahn hit one that Schmit juggled around long enough to allow Dahn to score, but M. Madden got Schumacher's fly to end the inning; Fay jwked a, slow one past short with two out in tile fourth for the only local hit off Morton from the third until the seventh when Freund got his third infield blow, also with two out. In the meantime LaBahn was sailing along with two bases on balls the only deviation from the three up and three down'system that proves so effective in holding the opponents scoreless. He trred ' of his useless labor in the eighth and jthree hits allowed the plate to be nicked, once by the Morton boys. In tfeg ninth three more were sent across the plate, the last two on a blow by Casey who persisted in breaking the family tradition by getting three hits for himself- There were also two errors in the last inning to help tjj* cause along.

Manuses was just about the whole show for the winners, setting down the Johxvsburg assemblage with three hits, two of them of thie scratch variety. ' . »•' , Johnshurg's one run was unearned and came as. the result of an infield fly that was badly misjudged. Their lineup was greatly re-enforced by the use of the Waukegan Major cast which Keller very obligingly brought to their rescue. The victory brings Wonder Lake's standing in coUnty baseball to a much higher point and ^ts~th.em on the map as having a very formidable team when Manuses is on the mound'. Regner was shifted to third and Freund to first in Sunday's game, with Butler going to the outfield and Wahl being benched. This strengthens the defense and provided Manuses with better support.
