All If your high bowling iww or low •omething or other is omitted jast make a note of it in Wte scrap book ao your crandehudrM wifl understand ia years to come. Those* amasinc Schaefer Girl* crowded the Stillinff's hard Sunday > night, bat the hoys shaded them in - a great match by 4 pins, 2424 to ; 2420. Just to keep the records ' straight^ -we might mention a little item of a 86-pin handicap per game for the girls. Without benefit of handicap, the i giris ran up 859 pins in their second game when Dorothy Schaefer hit »200 on the nose and "anchor-man" Edith Band hit 192. Edith's series ; 'was 604.' East week it was reported that the gals had won ten straight. Of coarse, the statistics came from the usually reliable source of informa- ' tion. men the girls looked up the , record and foand they had 12 straight wins chalked up. Number 18 got 'em! Imagine 220 being your tow score in a 8-game series. That was Herman Schaafer's low in a match game the Schaefer Recreation boys won from Schlits. Here's how Herman's games -went: 225-220-228-073. But, wait 'til Joe McOmber gets that hook ball going 'round the corners to pick up spares. Joe is trying to bar the "submarine" and tspit-oall" as thrown by "Bed" Winkel. 200 CIvb-- ; ' R^Benn^ 263; Poster, 2&7; B. Blake, 200; H. Freund, 227; J. Frisby, 205; C.

IAIL FOBoGMMANT Mrs. Chariea W. Watta and her 20-month-oJd son, John, of Fox Lake, will be among the first 1,200 civilians sailing for Estops this month to join their kin in the occupation amies. Application for passport and orders for his wife and son to make the trip overseas was made by First Lieutenant .Watta, who is with the *Azmy Security Agency, shortly after his arrival in Germany early this year. Mrs. Watts has been notified by the anaqr that the first drip is expected to dock in Braaerhaven, Germany, about April 28. ACCIDENTALLY KILLED Funeral services for Wayne Hapke, 8, son of Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Hapke, who was killed accidentally last week, were held Friday at 2 pjt, in the Palatine Evangelical and Lutheran church. The youth was strnek by the automobile as be was harrying across ' Rand road outside Palatine tt board the truck of his father, Merri|l Hapke. The father had stopped to pick op the boy and saw the accident. FIRE DAMAGES TREES ' At least $1,500. damage to Austrian Pine and Blue Spruce trees on the Jewel Tea Company, Inc., property in Barrington occurred as the results of a grass fire which was fanned by high March winds ..Tuesday, April 2, about 12:90 p.m. 1 The trees, which cannot be replaced were growing south of the E. J. A E. tracks according to Dale Hendee, supervisor of maintenance and services at JeweL Origin of the fire was not determined, but it is said that the damage occurred as a result of a grass fire near the railroad tracks. INCREASE WATER SUPPLY Within a month or six weeks a test well will be sunk as the first step in increasing Iibertyville's water supply. _ If the test proves there is an inadequate supply of water, a .permanent well will be provided.

In spite of a ringer in the Wauconda lineup, the Palace Recs took their measure here Saturday night, 2612 to 2546. The ringer was none other than Mike Budler. In spite of a hard ride from the broncobusters on the sidelines who had much to say about jumping to the Mexican League, Mike led the evening parade with 221-183-193-597. Rudinski, after a weak start, wound up with a 200-528 series. "Mac" somebody pitched a 220-522 for the visitors. Here's consistent bowling. We mean consistently good. Hup Smith, 199-191-195-585. This was supposed to be a separate article, but since the boss put the squeeze play on the sports de- Sartment for the week let's hit the igh spots on the news that MCHS has joined a new conference. Those masks made for American troops during the war are being enlisted in the postwar fight against crime in the United States, War Assets Administration officials revealed this week in Chicago. A million of the masks, declared surplus by the armed forces, are up for sale at fifty cents each "to accredited law enforcement agencies throughout the nation," the, W.A.A. I said. | Designed for protection of -troops ! against gases and smok# concentrations in the field, the masks will provide ideal protection against tear , and similar gases. The secret service has 'already purchased some of the i masks, W.A.A. officials in Washington, D.C., revealed Sunday. ! Anticipating the present available ; surplus of masks "will be quickly {exhausted" by federal, state, county and city law enforcement bodies, the W.A.A. urged all such buyers to comunicate their needs immediately to its central office in Washington. . 1 , Hash Potatoes To get the best hash brown pota- I toes, cook over a low heat and do | not stir the potatoes, say home ecoaj omfsts. The new Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois (abbreviated to SWANI) conference has been joined by "McHenry, Harvard and Marengo. Five Wisconsin schools--Burlington, Delavan, Elkhorn, Lake Geneva and Whitewater--are entered. iFootball and basketball schedules have been made up, but we will hold them over until next fall. If printed now, you wouldn't save them. Or would you? Seniors will be excluded from participation in second "B" team basketball games. It was also agreed that players participating in "B" games I could not play on the "A" team jthe same night. 1 ! Home teams will wear white nniforms to avoid confusion so often .encountered in the past. I So--that's the story of the new 'conference. No activities are planj ned for spring sports, but activities will be watched with interest when football rolls around again. Football? My, it's been a short summer! A young couple of my acquain- , tance struck up a friendship with an ] Australian lady. On the arrival of i her fourth child, they sent her a | playpen as a gift. The thank you note left them somewhat astonished: "Thank you so much for the pen. It is a perfect godsend. I sit in it every afternoon and read and the children can't get near me."--Rosamond Lee, Baby Talk. . DANCE EVERY SATURDAY / ^ WIECHSVILLE, ROUTE 176 J2 Miles West of Wauoonda SLOCUM LAKE JOE TURNER AND HIS BAND Formerly with Wayne King "I just heard that the students have a nickname for Prof. Smith, and I think that is very nice," said Prof. Jones. "It shows a real intimacy and comradeship. I sometimes wish they would give tte a nickname." * "Hie students have a nickname for you." said his son . . . "It's Saaka." That niffht about midnight, after thinking tne matter over many times, the father' got up, went down to the kitchen and hunted until he found a can of Sanka. Then he read on the label: "More than 96% of the active portion of the bean has been removed."-- Journeyman Barber.

'tickets they refuse to make a choice: I --Don't want to hurt the other fel- 1 ilow's feelings--There are arguments' I for and against the system, but i none can deny that it keeps people, I I away from the polls-- I LOU BOUDREAU, the 29-year-old manager of Cleveland's Indiana and one of baseball's best short- •tope, has the brand and breed of club he likes to handle. In the main it is a young club, a big club, a hustling c}ub ahd it is backed up by four talented starting pitchers. These are Bob Feller, Allie Reynolds Steve Gromek and Charley Embree, with other possibilities who 5:,-. should help.' "This is a tough race for anyone to predict," Boudreau talis me. "I mean a tough season in trying to guess postwar form. I wQl say right at the start that I can't see any hot chance of our Indians beatfaf out ttie Yankees, Red Sox or Tigers. But maybe we can nip one of them with our pitching and our hustle and finish as high as third. Fourth )dace is our main goal and that won't be any sure thing." "I'm looking largely to a year or two on beyond when these kids will be seasoned. And'don't forget by that time our starting pitchers, headed by Bob Feller, should still be going strong. It isn't an old staff. Feller, Reynolds, Gromek and Embree are all well under 90." Two Strong Points : It might be stated here that the combination of Lou Boudreau and Ray Mack gives the earnest Indians a strong spot at short and second, where strength is needed. It might also be mentioned that in Lou Boudreau the Indians have a young manager who is rapidly gaining experience, for which there is no substitute in sport. Not often, anyway. "If the Yankees, Tigers and Red Sox play up to their expected form," Boudreau says, "I can't see how they are to be crowded out from the first three places. But a lot of things can happen through a long baseball season. A lot of things. After all none of the top three will be cheering when they have to face our pitching staff day after day, and they all know this. "It means a lot to have four good starters you can bank on. Pitching has always been and always will be a big part of baseball. How much? Well, maybe 60 or 70 per cent." Bob Feller*s Futuve It was worth while taking another look at Bob Feller, hardest working member oh the Cleveland roster. I asked Feller about his improved curve ball. I heard he had developed this in the navy. "No," Bob said, "that isn't right. I've had about the same curve for some years now. Only before I depended too much on my fast one. Now I'm simply using more curves: This also helps save- my arm. "I didn't get to do so much pitching in the navy," Bob went on, "bat I'll tell yoa one new thing I learned This was a slider. I don't knowhow it will work out, bat it may help." A Bob Feller with a slider added to his fast ball and his carve ball isn't going to be happy news to American league hitters. I didn't have the nerve to ask Feller how many years he thought he might have left. For at the age of 27, 28 in November, my guess would be at least 10 years more. This is still a guess for I felt sure that Dizzy Dean would have better than 10 years left when something snapped and went sour in his right shoulder blade. All I can say here is that Bnb Feller is smart enough to be thinking about 1946, not 1948 or 1950. He knows what the hazards are when you are wheeling that fast one and that quick break in game after game against bats that too often are loaded, with poison. « • • True Color in Baseball •The Yankees have been accused in the past of lacking color. I was talking about this matter of Yankee color with Manager Joe McCarthy recently. "In my opinion," he said, "this 1946 Yankee team has my idea of true color--the color that really belongs. By that I mean the color we have in infield skill and in outfield skill and power. "I believe big crowds will get their thrills out of watching our infield in practice--Rizzuto and Gordon around second, Stirnweiss at third--in the execution of their plays. "Those who love baseball--or those who love athletic skill above the average, will see Rizzuto. Gordon and Stirnweiss make plays that belong to a circus. They are the greatest infield combination in this respect I have ever aeen. Remember, I am predicting no pennant. We don't know too much about our pitching yet. But I know what our infield can do. I know the impossible plays this infield can make, the type of plays that give any crowd a big kick--even if we lose. Rizzuto and Gordon are two acrobats. They are the type of color I want."
