THE BOYS WANT YOU TO HELP T»UY BALL" Wilmotto Athletic Club Fans Roll Up Their Sleeve* for Some Real Action By A. Fan In the best game played so far this season on the new ball field at Wftv mette avenue and Seventeenth street, Wilmette walloped the Chicago Ath- letics to the tune of 5 to 3. Van Diane, flinging his portside hooks, put the damper on the hopes of the Athletics all along the route and aided by good support with rattling good catches in the outfield by Estes and Colgrove, went the distance without trouble,â€"- The locaMads scored all their runs on clean hits which they bunched when needed, Saunders coming through with a double and a single in pinches. The management of the Wilmette Athletic Club wishes to take this op- portunity to thank the neighbors in the vicinity of the ball field for their interest in the welfare of the club. A ?;roup of regular dyed-in-the-wool ans, led by Mr. Haskins of 1465 Wil- mette avenue, have started a volun- tary subscription list to aid the boys in their endeavor to give the people a chance to see Wilmette boys en- gaged in athletics. This is the first time that we can recall having anyone so much as suggest helping the boys, and we wish it to be known that the efforts of the men mentioned above is more than appreciated by every boy. These regular fellows have been out in their shirt sleeves three or four times during the past week and pa- trons at the field during Sunday's game noticed how they had put a wire all aroUnd the field, and reconstructed the backstop. Tt certainly has instilled pep into the boys, now that they know there is someone interested enough in their efforts, to get out and do some work, and this pep was shown in the game on Sunday, and will be evident all during the season. In order that the younger boys of the village may have an opportunity to enjoy the new field, the Wilmette Athletic Club has invited the Jeam known as the Wilmette Tigers to use the diamond whenever it is not in use by the Wilmette Athletic ClUb. Both teams are composed of Wilmette boys and are both amateur clubs. We wish to call the attention of the fans to this point, that we are amateurs and being amateurs with limited facilities for practice, do not play a game of baseball equal to the ordinary "big league" game, However, we do play with our hearts in the game and not our pocketbook contents. With this idea in mind, come out on Sunday af- ternoons, we always have a game every Sunday right here at home in Wilmette, and see your own and your neighbor's boy enjoying a good, clean, wholesome afternoon's entertainment in a sportsman's way. The boys will be very glad to re- ceive any ^ugwsttons^^"^ortlre"betfer- ment of conditions, in fact, we invite them. After all, we are only boys and cannot think of everything so anyone who has an idea, please out W. I. A.

In excess of 3,000 ballots were cast in the eight election districts in the village, the women's vote exceeding that of the men in several precincts, particular- ly in the districts east of the "tracks". As was the case in every communi- ty in this election the women are credited with putting the final and de- cisive punch into the campaign and the voting insuring complete victory for the non-partisan ticket and< dis- mal failure for the City Hall machine candidates. Thank Volunteers "Special credit is due the women voters who were mobilized in strong force by the efforts of the Civics de- partment of the Wilmette Woman's club", reads a statement issued this week by the Coalition Judicial Cam- paign committee, John R. Cochran, chairman. "The Coalition Judicial Campaign committee desires to express to the men and women of Wilmette appre- ciation of the splendid work done for the Coalition ticket"., reads the state- ment. "Special credit is due the wo- men voters, who were mobilized in strong force by the Civics depart- ment of the Wilmette Woman's club and others who spent all of election day and several days prior thereto in organizing the work of getting the voters out." They brought the voters oiit in force. Throughout the day the vol- unteers labored with utmost diligence getting out every eligible voter in the village. Automobiles were out in scores in answer to the appeal for volunteer "chauffeurs", and workers were stationed at every point of van- tage in the village addressing passers- by relative to the one topic of the day. The polls were crowded from the moment of opening until noon and again in the last hours before closing time. And this remarkable accomplish- ment demonstrated anew the vast dif- ference between sane, common sense, accurate and truthful statements of fact concerning the issues, and the highly exaggerated, distorted, mis- leading, machine prescribed state- ments flooded throughout the county by the City Hall politicians. The in- telligent electorate acted accordingly and spelled inevitable defeat for the Thompson ticket. Kenilworth registered overwhelm- ing approval of the Coalition ticket. Wilmette's complete vote is found inother columns of this issue of The Lake Shore News. 460. 449 429 420 407 400 tts D?Jtr"ft 11â€"VllaKe Hall <North.> District 12-VlllaIe Hall (JBaety Dietrlct 12â€"Byron Btolp <gOrt*> a strict 14^â€"Byron Stolp (SoutnJ strict lS^Bsvrber Shop.
