Thursday, August 1,1935 Vy.afe wyit V ;T?5&r PLAUfDKALEE FafoTWv RKD" FABER IS NOW A LOCAL RESIDENT ; j. is';r • f "The White Sox axe playing re* * :markable baseball, and although I do ' * mot think they will win the pennant, ' .1 am glad to see them in third place .• this late in the race." v- • This was the statement made by "*•*< lUrban "Red" Faber in an interview , V lafter the game between the Saint v.' • -Gary's Holy Name Society and the "•*' - McHenry Elderly Men's team Monday night, July 29. Although this was the first attempt at indoor baseball, "Red" Faber pitched his team to victory. i ' rv. It was apparent to an observer that "Red" Faber has lost none of his famous agility and speed. The difference between indoor baseball and ;*h£ league baseball to which he is ^accustomed obviously did not upset him. " f. - "Red" Faber was a professional ' ^ !ball player for. twenty-five years and Ipiteher for the White Sox for twenty * i ' .years, retiring at the end of the 1933 ;; ' • Asked when the idea, of playing ' professional ball had first appealed to ".".him, he said that like most young 'r.^boys he had played a great deal ol 5 I'^prairie baseball while in grammar -'school. At Cartipion High school, Prairie Du Chein,, Wisconsin, he had •: pitched for his team three years and ?: V hiad won a number of games; He did * v [ not, however, seriously consider base- . ball as a career until he was pitcher for his team at Saint Joseph's Col- " lege, Dubuque, Iowa, now Columbia College. After -college he played in the nainor leagues, joining Pittsburgh in 1911 for a few weeks, and coming to the ; White Sox in 1913, where he remained until his retirement. It was while he was with the White Sox that h« perfected the "spit ball' for which he was so renowned. In answer to a query about his present occupation he said, "I am working hard and spending weekends at our summer home." The Fabers are speeding the summer at their e&- , tate on Meyer's Bay, Pistakee. They chose this site for their home because frequent visits had convinced them that the vacation facilities were ideal . for the family's enjoyment. Commenting upoj\ Monday night's game, he said that it was a great pleasure to be back on a diamond, and ; he certainly would enjoy p&yiag again if he were invited. 500 FANS ATTEND SOFT BALL GAME About 500 soft ball fans saw the ball games sponsored by the Holy Name society of St. Mary's church, DICK RAINES TO WRESTLE McMILLEN Dick Raines, recent conqueror of Lou Plummer, will wrestle Jim Mc- Millen, Antioch's contender for the Monday night, and nearly split their world's heavyweight championship, in sides laughing at the antics of the old timers. Red Faber and Father Nix pitched the full five innings of the game with Faber's team winning by a score of 12 to 10. In the! second game of the evening the single men managed to defeat the married men by the tight score of 9 to 8. the main' event of the third all-star wrestling card to be presented in the Round Lake Haunted House Open-Air Sports Arena, Friday night, August 9. With a bout with McMillen as the prize, the 250 pound Texas Tornado met Lou Plummer, rough and tumble Waukegan ace, last Friday in a match which turned out to be one of- the roughest bouts ever witnessed. After Ttfo details were left unplanned even gome twenty minutes of wrestling to the broken bat, an injured player, the arrival of a doctor and first aid treatment. Charles Peterson, champion wrestler, acting as umpire, and Red Faber, pitching, no doubt served as drawing cards, also, although all of the players put on a game that was a real attraction. • Extra seats were built in preparation for the large crowd and the Holy Name society appreciates the kindness of the donors of material for making the seats,. . • that had the two thousand spectators present shouting themselves hoarse, Plummer and Raines crashed head on when each attempted a flying tackle at the same moment. Referee Charlie La vine started his ten count with both wrestlers K. O.'d on the mat. At the count of seven Raines managed to gain his feet, and when Plummer failed to get to his feet at the SACON't ^ "ZEKE" BACON Tomorrow night Crystal Lake Softball team comes to McHenry to play another one of those interesting games. If it turns out to be like the recent contest these two ball clubs had at Crystal Lake then it will be a corker. The battle went into extra innings and ended up 3-2 in favor of the Lakers. Since McHenry reorganized and got this Drinkwine to pitch for them they really are going places. The boys may offer more in tfie way of real Softball playing than was seen at the park Monday night when the Holy Name Society sponsored an evenings entertainrfient along those lines but they couldn't begin to provide the laughs the older men did. The fans were in an uproar all thru the game. Then the younger marwith pain. The doctor then cuw ta the rescue with a good stimuladi Gut, thinking better of it, drank it himself. He then went to work on the victim with a scissors and got to the seat of the action in a minute with Tony sans pants, B-V-D's and everything. Doc then extracted a foot long sliver all dripping red and then proceeded to bandage him up with yard after yard of bandage that was soaked with blood as fast as it was applied. Truly no one ever shed more blood for his country than Tony did for the amusement of that crowd -- and suffered less from it. It was a real show and well executed (by aH concerned, \pven George Barbian who copped the extra bottle of stimulant only to find thSit it was nothing but pold tea. count" of ten.

But then pitchers aren't supposed to hit so what rhatterj if the Reverend.

' Every 'Thursday afternon from now until the end of the season there is something doing at the McHenry Country Club. There isn't any well organized tournament or anything of that nature but there will be a crowd out ther£ ready to go out and do things of an entertaining nature, so in the line of golf or what have you tf you feel at all inclined to do things then just hie yourself down that long lane and have, an enjoyable afternoon for yourself.

After several minutes the pair were finally separated and ushered from the ring. Both Plummer and Raines were lucky to escape permanent suspensions for their unruly tactics during and after the match. Although Raines failed to pin Plummer, he was declared the winner and therefore he and not Plummer will meet McMillen for the Lake County heavyweight title. Matchmaker Leg White disclosed to the press that he has again secured the services of that great wrestling and football star, Ray Richards for one of the supporting match for the August 9th card. The remainder of the program will be announced a* soon ag it is completed. his spitter' quite ineffective in the Softball game. Anton H. Freupfd, tho man behind the plate and a son of Stephen H '.s, jumped way out in front of the batter on the first pitch whereupon Stephen H. layed the bat on Tony much in the same manner that he used to out behind the woodshed. Tony seemed to be tougher than the bat for the weapon splintered in a thousand pieces with Tony floundering on the ground seemingly writhing The second round of the Stenger Cup is how over and w£ find that next Sunday should provide some interesting matches at the popular country club. Don Granger arid Gene Sayler are stilly in the thick of things, carrying On where their dad?, have left off. Maybe Jim won't admit that he has left off but anyway he's out of the running as far as the Stenger Cup .is concerned. We find that Don (s matched with Henry Vogel while Gene is meeting up with Nic Freund. Other matches are Carl Schmitt with the winner of the Tom Gill-Wiedling match that will be played Saturday, with Milt Masurek meeting Jack Mccarroll. The wrestling matches at Round Lake Friday night were among the best evftr staged by the principals. There were rough ones, scientific onns comic ones and spectacular ones. The best and cleanest match was between Bobby Bruns of Grayslake and a lad who hails from Marquette University. The Marquette lad had the better j knowledge of the game but Bruns I managed to exhibit enough defense land brute .strength to last the thirty minutes to earn a dratir. These two boys really put on a show. Raines jbeat Plummer in the final only to have Plummer climb back in the ring and start another rumpus similar to the Zaharias-O'Mahoney go in Chicago recently. ./' " "" Six Years Ago In Local Sports . . ;: .
