Julius "Tubby" Simonini and Carl Hopp, both of Algonquin, shared the pitching for the winners. Simonini fanned thirteen batters, allowed one hit, and walked one man in five innings. Hopp struck out seven, allowed three hits and issued no passes in the last four innings. Thompson worked the entire game on the mound for the losers in a standpat lineup that saw no change* throughout the game. "Bud" Meyers, Johnsbnrg shortstop, accounted for the two runs in the second inning as his drive followed a base hit and a walk to the first two batsmen. Wally Smith slammed out a long hit in the eighth that went over the fence, but was ruled a double in view of a ground rule.

The Elgin Athletics were the vietims of another neat pitching effort on the part of Jim Larkin. The win, however, was somewhat of a personal victory for Jerry Larkin who had not forgotten how "Lefty Bill" Andrews struck him out with the tying run in scoring position at Irish Prairie earlier in the season.' , Jerry was then and always had been a left-handed batter who had trouble hitting southpaw pitching. The Shamrock first-sacker practiced for weeks batting right handed and Sunday his chance came in the fourteenth inning.

May, president of the host club, revealed this week. May expects the tournament, America's richest golf classic, will draw a record throng for Chicapo meets, since the $11,000 purse wil! attract the best of the country's golf players. The meet will be held on the sporty and picturesque northwest side course on September 4, 5, 6 and 7. Qualifying play will be held ml Tuesday, September 2. "The meet will serve two purposes," May said. "It will provide Chicago golf fans with another opportunity to see the greatest golfers in action under inducements which will inspire the best golf they are capable of, while at the same time these golf fans will be contributing to very worthy causes. All of us are anxious to help the U. S. O. and the British War Relief fund and the Tam O'Shanter meet will allow us to doubly enjoy our interest in these fine efforts." Although the entry list for the Tam O'Shanter meet is not at all complete, May stated that he has assurances that such stars as Ben Hogan, Craig Wood, Sam Snead, Ralph Guldahl, Vic Ghexsi, Lawson Little, Jimmy Hines, Byron Nelson, Johnny Bulla, Johnny Revolta, Dick Met* and all the other top flight pros will tee off in the Sep. tember classic. Representing the home club will be Wilford Wehrle, one of the country's outstanding amateurs, whose familiarity with the Tam O'Shanter course should make him a dangerous factor in the 72-hole medal play meet. Other golfers'who have shown a liking for the Tam 0"Shanter layout are Dick Met*, who won the Chicago Open in 1940 on the northwest side course, shooting 278, ten under par, and Ben Hogan and Johnny Revolta, who tied for second behind Meta with 286'S. Thirty awards In cash will be distributed among t)Mtprofessionals, with 'the winner, taat Is, the top pro, taking away $2,000, An attractive group of prizes will lure the amateurs. Prize money' and "merchandise swards will be given, also, to top finfshing pros and amateurs, Respectively, in the qualifying round, an 'unusual feature of the meet. to bring in two runs and a victory, The A. C. scored in their half of the fourteenth before a double play quenched their rally. Cenway Steals House Dick Conway stole home in tht first to give Irish Prairie a one run advantage which they held until Jim Larkin got one of his four hits and scored his team's second run in the seventh. Elgin knotted the count with a run in the seventh and eighth. The first A. C. run was a long home ran by Mische. In the fourteenth Jinf Larkin and Bud Bolger both singled and scored on Jerry Larkin's triple. The game was a real pitcher's dud with Jim ~Larkin proving he can hold his own against a strong team like Elgin. Jim allowed only six hits and struck out twelve. When he was In trouble his teammates came to his aid with good support to retire the side. The outfielders made some all-important catches which with some fine fielding by second baseman Tom Bolger proved helpful to the pitcher. Here's Your Game! Next Sunday the Shamrocks will invade Johnsburg to battle the Tigers. Some fans feel that the Shamrocks have bitten off more than they can chew in scheduling a team that has won twelve and lost two in county competition. Irish Prairie may not win but they will be in there fightiag until the last man is retired. Shaiarocks -- 4* AB 1 B T. Bolger, 2b • 0 D. Conway, Sb 1 1 P. Dowell, rf .. 0 • 1 J.

JALOPY FOLLOWERS SEE WILDEST RACE IN GRISWOLD BOWL softball i , - . After Winning five consecutive feature races and six elimination heats on the Griswold Bowl ovsl at Wauconda since the Fourth of July, Leonard Kranz of Arlington Heights lost the big race of the afternoon last Sunday by coming across the finish line in fourth place. The upset took place in one of the wildest races ever witnessed in this part of the state. The winner, Peewee Hauth, one of North Chicago's leading jalopy speedsters, drove the last two laps with part of the car body dragging on the track, and as he crossed the wire, it fell off leaving him hanging onto the steering wheel without a seat beneath him. Second place was taken by Kap Kelder of Crystal Lake who pressed Hauth for the first spot throughout the race but could not pass the fast Bristol special: The real fireworks qccurred in the fight for third and fourth place. The driving became so rough that track officials disqualified a potential second or third place driver whose violations were too flagrant to pass unnoticed. Following the disqualification, Harold Kuhl of Palatine finished ahead of Kranz to take third place money.
