If Mr. Ickes takes gasoline away from us, we may be forming hiking clubs. Norb Smith, the Johnsburg Tiger's Most of us realize what ottt snrrt'- ! second baseman raced in from third base in the eleventh inning last Sunday afternoon at Johnsburg with the run that beat the Shamrocks, 3 to 2. We might as well talk about the finish right away, 'cause that's where the pay-off came. With one down and men on first and third, Teddy Fitxen sent a fly ball out to short center. Harry Dowell raced out from his shortstop position to make a peach of a catch, b»ifc with his back to the infield was unable to get the ball home in time to nip Novb and the winning marker, it was a daring attempt to score. Jim Larkin and Gene Koch hooked up in as pretty a hurling duel as you will see. Koch, a southpaw, fanned seventeen Shamrock batters and proved especially tough since the Shamrock power boys swing left-handed. Much to the delight of the large crowd, both teams gave everything they had in trying for victory. As the dust of battle cleared, there were many "ifs" on both sides. It seems certain that the two teams will meet •can*. Notes «the Gas* Joe Freund was disabled because of a bum finger, but was much ia evidence on the coaching lines* Thought....

A report «f the doings appears elsewhere on the sport page, tat a few comments and impressions linger on. --IA little time spent on the grounds with the boys made us realize that this caddy business has many desirable angles .in the development af4W young boys. Perhaps the fact that the boys earn gssney ** important, but let's look beyond the money part. --P-- Under the watchful, stern--yet understanding-- eye of our golf professional, Jimmy Smith, the boys have learned that rules must be followed if they want to stay on the Hat. --I-- While the spirit and funjo evident in young sprouts that age is not curbed, the best in each boy is brought out through careful training. • "'I-- With the aim of having enough caddies on the list to take regular turns, an effort is made to keep the boys from getting too much of a workout. The boys are given the privilege of playing the course on certain days-- thus deriving th* ben^to optfoor recreation. - i *' We left the grounds with the im- Bston that Jimmy Smith and bis are getting along just fine in one of the best trained caddy groups to be fotind on any golf course. --I-- While visiting the clubhouse, we learned that Vale Adams set the co«ae recent frith an smiying score A little sidelight dn the rmmd Is that Vale's dad, Lester Adams, followed the play for the first time since Teddy Pitxen took over the catching duties in the emergency. Teddy , put all he had into the strange position, but still looks like a fine left fielder. Norb Smith, a left-handed hitter, crossed up the defense by smacking two doubles along the left field line. Norb scored all of Johnsburg's runs so was excused for being picked off second on a pretty play from Jim firkin to H. Dowell. Neither team had full strength. Ttte Dowell outfielders failed to show up for duty for the Shamrocks. Wally Smith, classy first-sacker wi from the Tiger lineup. The umpires had some trying moments on decisions. But, they can take it. After all, they get enormous salaries.. / Stan FreunA*has martawd an at* that every ball player should master He's a bunter from Buntersville. All of the Shamrock hitting was done at the top of the batting order. Pitcher Larkin, a good hitter, obviously used up too much energy on the base paths.

JJM LONDOS, THE GORGEOUS GREEK, AT PEG'S ARENA No grappling match In years has created as much interest among mat addicts as this week's bout, Friday, August 29, featuring the Gorgeous Greek, Jim Londos of world-wide fame, against Ignacio Martinez, sensational Spaniard, at Peg's arena in Grayslake. Martinez is burning up the local mats with his sizfilng pace and in his last two tries at Peg's he fiattended Jim MeMillen and the Hindu, Nanjo Singh. Londoe who claims the International mat title, is on a cross-country tour, meeting all contenders, in an effort to clarify the heavyweight title situation. Since returning from a world tour several months ago, he has been appearing in various cities in behalf of the Greek relief fund, and has been successful in raising thousands of dollars for that worthy cause. Critics who have seen him perform are unanimous in their plaudits, saying that he has lost none of his cunning, and still maintains the form that placed him on top of the mat heap through the thirties, when he was recognized as undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. In those days, the name of Londos was magic at the box office and attendance records were set that will stand. The largest gate was at Wrigley Field, Chicago, where $110,000 was paid by the fans to see the Greek defeat Strangler Lewis. The way reservations have been pouring in for Friday night's extravaganza, it appears that Londos has lost none of his customer appeal. The initial appearance of Jeems in the local spot is causing the promoters to build additional seating capacity. Martinez is the surprise athlete of the year and it is strange that he should meet Londos in the most unexpected place of Grayslake when he has been seeking this same match for almost a year all over the western hemisphere. The big Spaniard who weighs in at 230 pounds, is shooting for the world's mat title, and his success in this country has been phenomenal. The supporting matches will be made up of the best names to be found in these parts and will feature amongst others, the giant Hippo Wiggins, 420-pound youngster, who defeated Fried rich von Schacht last week in ten minutes. Gorilla Grubmyer, Rudy Kay, Nick Elitch and Bobby Brans. Despite the unusual card there will bp no advance in prices. * Feeding Oillfish _ Feeding goldfish is quits ftmjfl* Stay will eat everything within res son.

After doing justice to ice cream and cake (very large pieces) the boys sat at attention to the call of Jim Sayler, club president, . The Begm^Bsve Help Elmer Freand. £mb scretary, Albert Krauae, chib director, and Earl Walsh, who represented The Plaindealer, joined in wholeheartedly with the boys as the ice cream and cake servings came forth. The trio responded to introductions with short talks. Then came presentation of prizes. With smiling efst and broad grins each and every caddy came forward to receive his prize. It might be'well to explain at this point that a savings account is kept for the boys by the chib pro, Jimmy Smith. After each round of nine holes, the caddy deposits a. nickel in the fund. ,If they go eighteen holes, the deposit is ten cents. At the end of the season this fund reaches, over two hundred dollate--a tidy little sum. Handicap Tourney In the tournament to determine the champion? in each division, the boys are given handicaps. This year each boy received at least one beautiful golf club, purchased through their savings fund. Norman Knaarck won honors in the class A division and won the'prize of six iron clubs. Dick Rosing came in for second place honors and was presented with a set of three wood sticks. Jack Smith copped the first prize in the B division and was a happy boy as Jimmy Smith handed him a set of four woods. Said Jack, "It was a tough match. Won it on the eighteenth." Don Haley, second place winner, now has three fine wood clubs for his set. Bud Adams was the winner of a golf bag. Caddiea Skew Appreciation In appreciation for the fine treatment and help given them, the caddies presented gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Smith and to Albert Purvey, the fellow responsible for the fine condition of the course. Thomas P. Bolger, former director of the club, was an interested witness ! and did not escape the eagle eye of i President Sayler although he haul .slid : quietly into the rear row of seats. | Tom's words were few, but the boys learned that he thinks they aire the j finest group of boys you will ever find. 1 Everybody haul a grand time midst | a carload of smiles.

Last Saturday Secretary of the Interior Ickes proclaimed a sixty-day duck hunting season, starting October 1 in the northern states, October 16 in the intermediate states'and November 2 in the southern states. Illinois is classed as an intermediate state. In issuing 1941 regulations for hunting migratory game birds, Ickes left unchanged the sixty-day season and the ten-a-day bag limit of last year, and retained the prohibition against use of bait or live decoys, but added a clause forbidding the taking of water fowl by using cattle, horses, or mules as blinds. As in recent years, hunters must plug repeating and automatic shotguns to a limit of three shells, and must not use guns longer than tengauge. Shooting hours remain the same, sunrise to 4 p. m. A drastic reduction was ordered In the shooting season for mourning doves, because, Ickes said, the number of these birds was found to be decidedly unsatisfactory. Whereas the season, in some areas ran as long as seventy-seven days, this year's season was reduced to a maximum of fortytwo days. The Illinois season will last only thirty daya. This limit is set by the state game code. The system of split seasons in many areas was eliminated. m m LABOR BAT RACES A twenty-five lap final event wKS. the leading jalopy drivers in this part of the state competing for prize money and the championship trophy will feature the Labor Day racing program on the Griswold Bowl speedway, located four miles west of Wauconda off route 176 on McHenry road. In addition -to the big race of the afternoon, there will be several elimination heats, a special reverse event, and a grudge race by a ruling of track officials two weeks ago. The judges disqualified one of the leading drivers for violating racing rules when he appeared to crowd one of the jalopies off the oval in the feature event. Two ef tha-spemisters invajvad h» the incident have agreed to dispute by meeting in a spedM heat. This affair should present s| thusiasts with plenty of thrills, {each jeep pusher will be out there fighting for more than prize or the racing trophy. The backwards event will show the driver's ability to handle a car rather than the speed that he, can get out of it. Each auto must complete three laps in order to finish the contest, % first time around the course in verse, the second trip forwa the final lap in reverse.
