EES 8 TO •' John 'Stanczak', pitching for the Brothers nine, had hurled twenty-nine • consecutive scoreless' innings before 1 Joe Britz' double scored Hoopy Smith in the ninth inning Sunday. Joe took third on a wild throw to the plate in a desperate attempt to head off Smith and then came home on an infield out for the second run the A's scored. Wlhat's there about the home that the Athletics don't like? In the last three home games the A's have hit bat twelve safeties, four to a game. Decoration Day at Crystal Lake they rapped out twenty-two. Maybe the pitching has something to do with it, but seems like they should break loose once in a while on the home lot. Harry Kirwan, Wauconda's leading sportsman and promoter, is working one of the mutuel windows at Washington Park four days each week and reports no sign of depression except that the sharks are ringing in more new rackets than ever before. Mutuel play runs into numbers that would stagger the average individual despite aM these "rumors" about hard times. Bide yielded twelve hita" and seven runs to the Stanczaks last Sunday and thereby ended his victory string at five. John "Stanczak" was supreme on the mound and gave up but four hits to shut out the Athletics for the first eight innings before Joe Britz came through with a stinging double to score Sihith, who had walked with one down in the ninth. The Stanczaks, fellow townsmen of Bick, treated him like an old pal by slamming the ball to the outfield at frequent intervals though most of them were of the nature of easy flies." However, twelve hits for sixteen bases cannot be called A-l pitching and it must be said that Bick has looked better at times than he did Sunday- Marty, centerfielder for the brothers' nine, hit safely in all four attends and scored three of the seven runs. Two of his hita were doubles. Besides this he stole two bases and was out at the plate en a rather foolish attempt to steal home. The scoring commenced in the second iijning and was started by troublesome Marty with a single to center with one down. Ha stole second ard came in on Joe's single to center after Mike had times. Home runs for Joe Schmitt and Dar Granger accounted for the majority of the eight runs with which the Lyons Variety ten sent thd Parksiders down to defeat. The/Lyons boys led throughout the early innings and were never in danger until the last innings when the Park boys came to life and scored two runs. Errors helped in this Tally but the darkness was descending so fast that the players could qot be blamed. In the other game of the week's schedule old man J. Pluvius interfered and the contest was called at the end of the first inning. Inasmuch as the lineups have never been published they are included this week so that the spectators may know the team rosters and better enjoy the games. The crowds so far this season i have been first rate but they will most AMSEICJHI& 4UW18ED TO MAKE EXCHANGE Americans visiting Canada will- incur financial loss through rates of exchange unless certain procedures are followed, points out the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor Club. "We advise Americans, upon entering the dominion, to go to a bank and exchange American dollars for Canadian, in whatever amount thay contemplate spending," the motor club suggested. "Banks recognize the fact that the Canadian dollar is worth from 9 to 22 per cent less than the American dollar, and will make due allowance. Elsewhere than in banks, however, the Canadian unit of currency is regarded as equal in value to the United States unit. "Americans who comply with this suggestion stand to lose little or nothing when, upon return to the United States, they exchange their likely dwindle down as soon as the hot j Canadian currency for American, weather comes along. j During the past year the Canadian Buch Plumbers -- Anton Schmitt, j dollar has fluctuated in value from Nick Freund, Frank Rosing, Joe Reg-1 $-78 to $.91 in this country.

Not that Ray Conway> John Kilday and Pete Schaefer aren't af;ile. Looks like Manager Joe McCarthy put over a good deal the fore part of the week when he acquired Danny Mc- Fayden from the Red Sox. Mc (Fayden not Carthy) has always been regarded as one of the leading righthanders in the American League though he is now but twenty-five years old. In return the lowly Red Sox got Johnson and Andrews, a pair of invalids . the mo&t p&ct ,o£ -ihe season* • The Amertasm Legioft lads Stm' of took the joy out of the season's campaign for the Cary team by handing them a twenty to six trouncing last Saturday. And all that after Cary had blanked both Algonquin and Woodstock earlier in the season. McHenry dropped the Harvard contest in midweek 8-6 and their chances fo/ a cotfrtty title ire mighty slim, but the lads are determined to make the most of it and they certainly are wreaking ' havoc among the other teams. . Aug. Freund, better known as Gus, and more frequently seen around first base when the A's are on the defensive, was presented with a ball and bat just as he came to the plate for his first turn at bat Sunday. G. C. "Patsy" E&ley made the presentation speech and it was a wow only he did not say it loud enough for the crowd to understand- The ball was a tencenter and the bat a miniature affair but Gus will keep them among liis most treasured possessions to show to his children, when and if. Quite a reputation the Locals are building up but it's bringing the.n nothing but sorrow. Well, mostly sorrow, though they did get quite a kick out of trimming the A's two weeks ago. Anyway, since the trimming they handefo the A's they have had two scheduled but both the teams have backed out at the last minute so they have had to remain inactive. Most of them watched the A's take another drubbing Sunday. And! Geo. Thurlwell was in uniform, too, and didnt get a chance to be seen in it. Seems George is hooked up with the tsam aa a trainer, or what have yetu as the two batters following him P0PP«d to the infield. Thd next bit of scoring came in Lhe seventh and was perpetrated by the visitors also. Marty led off with a double to right center and scored on Joe's hit. Joe tried to steal second and was safe when Smith dropped a nice throw by Joe Freund. Encouraged by this break Joe Stanczak then did steal third and made a clean swipe of it, but no harm resulted. • And then came the Kg outbreak ;n the eighth which might have been partly avoided by some alert fielding- It all began with a walk to the first man up, one of the worst omens in baseball. Edward, the recipient, went to third on Bruno's single. Bruno stole second. Louis smashed one to Smith, who tried to get Edward at the plate. Smith threw wildly and Bruno also scored while Louis went to second. Frank was out, H. Freund to A. Freund, Louis advancing to third. Then Marty stepped up with his fourth hit, a double that took a bad hop to Seb Whiting, and Louis scored. Marty went to third on a wild pitch and came hikne on Mike's^ fly to right that was too deep to even draw a throw to the plate. Another run was added by the victors in the ninth, just for good measure. Mill started it with a triple to left center that was just out of Bacon's reach. John wasted no time scoring him with a single to center. Niemic also hit safely but both runners were stranded on two popups, one of which Mel Whiting caught draped around the scoreboard after a nice running catch. In the meantime the A's were having a fine time trying to solve the puzzle of where the bats were with the hits in them. Harold Freund got one in the first but didn't move off first. Brother Joe got another in the second but was forced at second. Smith started the fourth with another and then resulted the best chance of the day to tie the score, but it went awry. Whiting sacrificed and Britz walked. With a count of three and two Joe Freund swung at the third one. Then Smith wandered too f%r off second and was nipped, John to Frank, and the A's Slopes went glimmering. From then on until the ninth there wasn't a hit for them and not a man reached first except Mel Whiting, who survived on an error, and Gus Freund, who walked with none out in the eighth but was forced at second by Bick, who was in turn forced by H. Freund. The only go >d that came of that was a stolen base to be added to Freund's record, something that Louis Stanczak didn't like the least bit. Seems Louis is rather proud of his throwing ability. Then came the ninth and the aforementioned walk and double that gave McHenry two runs and a chance to escape their second shutout in two weeks. It also put an end to John's scoreless innings of pitching as he had compiled the rather enviable record of twenty-eight consecutive shutout innings until Joe. Britz came along with a double. Again it all had started with a walk to the first man up in the inning. MCHENRY-- . H. Freund, ss 4 • 1 11 1 Bacon, cf 4 0 9 4 0 1 Smith, 2b . 8 1* 1 2 0 2 S.

The Bernard Chevies proved to be a little too strong for the Shamrocks and won 4 to 2. The Shamrocks scored both of their runs in the first two innings, while the Chevies scored one in the fourth and seventh and two in the eighth.

He has been very anxious to play that position himself this year. As it is, he is trying to be on second base while his position is centerfield. Other years, when he was allowed to play in the infield, a number of grounders seemed to take a badiiop. Maybe we will not have the batting averages published every week after the opposing first basemen start "scooping up" some of those line drives of Bacon's heavy bat that have been rolling between their legs.
