Labor Day, however, , the Irish Prairie team ran into a neat two-hit pitching job by Joe Jackson as they" were defeated by the Colts of Johnsburg by a score of 1 to 0.

Nearly 3,000 thrill-seeking Lake county sportsmen and sportswomen, the largest crowd to witness a wrestling match in these parts for the past six years, are expected to jam-pack to capacity Peg Behning's popular open-air palace of sports at Grayslake Friday night to see their own great favorite Jim McMillen of Antioch try to overcome the almost inhuman neanderthalic creation, The Swedish Angel, in the jgain event of the last all-star wrestling card of the summer season. Two weeks ago McMillen and the Angel were billed to go against each other for the first time, but the weather man stepped in and halted the fray because of rain. Nearly 2.000 disappointed mat fans who came out to see were turned away. Now the Angel is returning from New York to crush Mr. James Willard McMillen out of his path in a drive towards the world's championship. The terrific Angel who has overcome every wrestler sent against him, predicts McMillen will be forced to quit in less than twenty-five minutes. PET DOGS SUFFOCATE AS FLAMES RAGE IN A. M.
