XII, No. 24 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 EIGHTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS GOLFING CHAMPS HERE TOMORR Winnetka Fans to Greet "Bob" Gardner and Herron At Playfield Course PLAY WITH LOCAL MEN Expect Large Gallery for Feature Event Tomorrow promises to be the big- gest day in Winnetka Playfield golf events of the current season, the oc- casion being the appearance on the Winnetka Community links of the celebrated former national champions, "Bob" Gardner and S. Davidson Her- ron, who will play a match paired with the best talent the Playfield as- sociation can provide. It was through the efforts of Gil- bert Scribner, II, a director of the Playfield association, that the great event of the season could be made possible, for it was he who secured the two popular stars for an appear- ance on the local links in the first trial ever given Skokie Playfield by players of national championship calibre. Expect Large Gallery : Fvery resident of Winnetka is in- vited to join the large gallery that, it is anticipated, will witness the match. There is to be absolutely no charge and the association directors ask, only, that the spectators observe the customary golf etiquette. Of- ficers and directors will act as "gallery guards." Selections of the two Winnetka players who are to be paired with the distinguished visitors, will be made in a play-off today, the best two low gross scores winning their possessors the privilege of being partners with the national headliners. Stars of Golfing World To acquaint Winnetka golfing fans with their "honor guests" of the day, it may be said that Robert "Bob" Gardner is a brother of Henry Gard- ner, Winnetka resident and well known player at the Indian Hill Coun- try club. He was an all-round athlete at Yale. Besides holding the course vicinity of Chicago, he has twice been national amateur golf champion, win- ning the first time at Chicago, and again at Detroit. He was runner-up in the British Amateur championship and was the most popular American golfer to play on British soil, Herron was one time national amateur champion and is considered by golfing experts as one of the best players in the United States Rev. Stauffacher Gives Last Sermon Here Sunday Rev. A. B. Stauffacher will preach at the Winnetka Congregational church to- morrow morning, his sermon topic be- ing, "Jesus' Attitude Toward His Task." This will conclude Mr. Stauffacher's service in the church as he is to return to Northfield, Minn., in the coming week. Rev. Oscar Helming, of Carleton col- lege, will occupy the pulpit of the Con- gregational church on the first two Sun- days in September.

Verdi eA ety Sea aes a Battmann Postlude Again We Announce-- Schools Open Sept. 10 " At the instance of the Winnetka Board of Education, we are again re- minding the parents of children of school age, that the local public schools resume sessions on Monday, September 10, one week after Labor day. ~ As previously stated, the teachers are expected to be in the village one week prior to the date of the opening of schools, since there is to be a conference for the new teachers at 9 o'clock on the morning of September 4, and another for the "older heads" Thursday morning, September 6. Things will be humming in the schools within a few weeks and, advance re- ports have it, the pupils are not sorry, for the modern school offers a most pleasing variety of activities, scholastic, social and recreational, that vacations become dull indeed. ILLAGE BAND TO EHEARSE ON TUESDAY That strange something you will hear in the Community House environs next Tuesday evening, should give you no fear. It will be nothing more serious than the initial rehersal of the Winnetka Concert band, newly organized and al- ready comprising a sizable group of artists, individually well trained but lacking in ensemble experience. Lee Adams, the genial druggist who spends his leisure playing one or another of several band instruments, is the "father" of the new musical organiza- tion which expects to make its bow to the public of the village in the very near future. Yes, there is room for several more musicians. They are asked to put in an appearance at Community House next Tuesday evening. All that is asked of the householders residing in the vicinity of Community House is that they considerately refrain from sending in riot calls when the strange noises issue forth upon the oc- casion of the first. practice. A band simply must practice somewhere, you know. TEACHERS FIND SPLENDID HOMES Apartments for Families Is Urgent Need Now Winnetka home owners have responded magnificently to the appeal of the Win- netka Parent-Teacher association for living quarters to accommodate the many teachers who will arrive in the village within a few weeks. Single rooms have been registered in numbers with Mrs. F. Wagner, who is in charge of the committee named to find homes for the teachers. However, there is still the need for suites of rooms and at least two apartments to take care of the instructors who have families, it is explained. Mrs. Wagner this week made a can- vass of the rooms offered by local house- holders and reported that splendid ac- commodations will be provided for in- dividual teachers, or those who desire to "pair up" in living quarters. "The only serious need right now, she stated to a Talk representative, 'is for suites of rooms or apartments in which to house those instructors who have families. These seem difficult to! secure in Winnetka, because of the ab- sence of apartment structures, but we teel confident that adequate and com-1 fortable homes will be found for all the teachers within the next few days. The people have responded magnificently and I am sure the teachers are finding splendid homes." Persons wishing to confer with Mrs. Wagner relative to "homes for teachers" are requested to call Winnetka 277. "Own Your Home" Posters Get Renter to Thinking A unique and attractive "Own Your Home" poster series appearing in the windows of Gilbert D. Johnkon and Brother, realtors, Lincoln avenue, has created much favorable comment among villagers passing in that vicinity. The posters are supplied exclusively in this vicinity to that real estate con- cern and, with their effective illustra- tions and accompanying well chosen com- ments on the value of thrift habits and home buying, present a telling argument that cannot fail to get the "renter" to thinking and meditating concerning what the future will bring. The posters have been endorsed by the National Real Estate Board. Woman Educator Visits at Auguste Babize Residence Miss Helen McCroskey, of Oberlin, Ohio, is the guest of Mrs. Auguste Babize, in Glencoe.

PRAISES SKOKIE AS NET CENTER William T. Tilden II Reviews Great Illinois State Tennis Tournament LAUDS HIS OPPONENT Says Skokie Event Next to Clay Court Tourney BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, IIL The Skokie Country club played host to the greatest tennis tournament ever held in Chicago when it staged the Illinois State Title event for 1923. Manuel Alonso triumphed over a field which included such stars as Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia, Lawrence B. Rice of Boston, Walter T. Hayes of Chicago, Walter West- brook of Detroit, George Lott of Chi- cago and William T. Tilden, II, the national champion. Miss Helen Wills carried off the women's singles, Sandy Wiener of Philadelphia the boys, George Lott the juniors and the girls, Hayes and Westbrook took the men's doubles and Emmett Pare and Nelson the boy's. Praise for Alonso It was a marvelous exhibition of consistent tennis which carried Alonso to victory. He marched to the finals through Wallace Johnson, and George Lott; never once being in +danger of defeat. Meanwhile, I had "come through Westbrook and Haynes on my way to the final round. Manuel Alonso and I met on Sunday July 8, on a perfect court under ideal conditions before the biggest tennis gallery in Chicago tennis history. {Fully four thousand persons | thronged the stands and they were re- warded by a match of transcendent merit. Seldom has Alonso played better... I was as good as Alonso al- lowed me to be. For two sets, which consumed about two hours, and 3 gallons of ice water, we battled on even terms, each winning a deuce set. I was feeling the pace and fondly hoped that the Spaniard was also | weakening, but my hopes were quick- i ly dashed. In fact, instead of slowing up, Alonso grew better as the match | progressed. The third set found me trailing at 6-3 and decidedly the worse for wear from the tremendous amount of run- ning Alonso had forced me to do. I hoped he would fall off in the fourth set, as the rest would aid me, but (Continued on page 5) Legion Men in Annual Frolic at Oak Grove Members of the Winnetka Post No. 10 of the American Legion will enjoy their annual picnic this afternon and evening at Oak Grove, located on Rand road between Dundee and Lake Zurich.
