Up until Sunday when I met Mr. Schumacher I was still in the dark, but BOW, since he so kindly explained even the deepest secrets of the age old trick to me, I am quite well . aducated along that line. ' Quite a few of the younger sfct about town are getting to be quite proficient at handling a tennis racket these days. The courts are always in use in the cool of the evening and this constant use of the courts has developed them considerably. And now some one wants to know when the cool of the evening is. Ask George. if""*' Don't forget the big combined exhibition of baseball and comedy at the MAACS' next Sunday afternoon, when the Chicago Union Giants, Peter's colored champs, will be on show there. These boys put up a very good class of baseball and intersperce it with plenty of comedy. • Bring the wife and children, they'll all enjoy it. John Bolger, umpiring behind the plate Sunday, was struck below the heart by a foul ball and laid low for awhile. The heat made it hard to recover from any kind of a blow, but John finished the game from behind the rubber. Harry Buhrow was also struck by a pitched ball on the head and had to leave the game for a while. Neither casualty proved to be serious. The rao* to the indoor league is ' tightening up again, now that the postponed games are being dispensed with. The Stilling's Tires are still polling along in front with the Cities Service men doing well in traffic. The Knox Sinclairs are picking up fast, but business has suffered in the region of the Karls Cafe Ten during the recent hot spell, but, is expected to pick up again soon. Tony an Stars--Whiting Abe Four Blows, Including How Drive Storm From Rubber Midst the ^weltering heat of last Qunday afternoon the MAACS and the Dundee Peerless fought out the hottest contest of the season, which finally ended in the late afternoon, with the former leading by an 11 to 10 count, but on)y after the Peerless had whittled away at an early MAAC lead and then put on a very threatening rally in the first of the ninth, which ended with the tying run on base and four runs home. Whiting and Tonyan were the big hoys for the winners, each of them numbering a»ong their four hits, a home-hin. Big Ed drove in plenty of runs, but the hard work of running the bases in the heat nearly ruined his chances of victory as he was a1 pretty tired hurler from the seventh on. Whiting had a perfect day at bat with a homer, three singles and a sacrifice in five trips to the plate. The boy from Smith's corners has been hammering the ball in great style all season, but last Sunday's record is the peak of his batting talent However, he intends staying in the neighborhood for some time to eorae. The Peerless collected sixteen hits off Tonyan, the most he ever contributed to any team since his pitching career began. The MAACS pounded out fourteen safeties, but the distance of the blows and their timeliness were what counted. Five Dundee errors helped considerably. H. Buhrow of Dundee, after being knocked out from a blow on the head by a thrown ball, connected with one of Tonyan's offerings and drove a home-ran to the fence in right center. John Bolger, umpiring behind the plate, was alsb rendered helpless for the time being, when he was struck by a foul tip just below the heart. The heat made it all the harder for the injured to recover, but both Managed to stick out the nine innings. Melvin Whiting, playing his first game in a MAAC suit, singled, went to second on S. Whiting's sacrifice and scored the first run on Winkel's single to left. In the second the MAACS also counted, Frett reaching first on an error by Stub Dahn and scoring on Tonyan's first hit, after stealing second. , TH* VKSSKT FUU2IDKALKS, THU&SDAY JULY 24,1930 PLAYOKOUND PATTK& 3 .625 4 J>55 4--.655 C ,250 Whiting and Tonyan certainly exploded their bag of hits at an opportune time when they each came through with four hits in Sunday's game with the Peerless. Tonyan had two singles, a double and a home-run, while Sib's quartet included a homerun and three singles. He also had a sacrifice. Not so bad. The other old teammates came through with a single apiece, making ten of the fourteen safeties produced. Bohr was absent or the total might have been greater. , Elmhurst, victors over Algonquin, McHenry County champs, in the American Legion Junior baseball race, trimmed the Broadway Post of Rockford in two straight games last week. On Friday they played at Elmhurst and the home team won 10-5. Then on Saturday the teams met at Rockford and again Elmhurst was victorious, this time 14-2, which left no doubt as to which team belonged the honor. Elmhurst will now represent this district in the state finals at Decatur* some time in the mar future. Something that happens quite rarely came to pass on the seventeenth hole at the McHenry Country club last Friday. Shooting in the same foursome were Father Lonergan, his brother, Leo Stilling and D. I. Granger. Of these, two of them had eagles and the other two collected pars. Leo and Dar had the two under par shots, the first time on record that Palmer'lf, cf ._.J5 two eagles have been made on the pay( c ' * Dundee then began, after threatening in the first two innings. H. Storm singled and Dahn singled but, with the bases well occupied, M. Whiting came in fast on an infield roller and threw out Storm at the plate. H. Buhrow was then hit on the forehead and another run scored when Schumacher doubled. Tonyan then threw out A. Buhrow, both runners holding their bases, and then Tonyan fanned Zimmerman for the second of the four times he appeared. In the next inning the wind raised havoc with Tonyan's support and the Peerless rushed four runs across before the side was retired. W. Bulyow led off with a single. W. Storm was thrown out as first by Tonyan. H. Storm grounded to second. S. Dahn singled oyer second, scoring Buhrow, D. Dahn singled and stole second. H. Buhrow sent a long fly to right, which blew over Frett's head for a home-run Schumacher then tripled to right center, but died on third when Palmer got A. Buhrow's fly. ] The MAACS came back strong inj the fifth and sixth to take a two-run advantage, due principally to Tonyan and Whiting hitting home-runs, Ton yan's coming in the fifth with the bases empty, and Whiting's after Tonyan had doubled and Bacon walked in the sixth. Two more runs in the seventh and an extra one in the eighth seemingly gave the MAACS a safe five run lead, but Tonyan, tired from his labor at the plate, gave up hits and plenty of them in the ninth, and Dundee all but tied the score. D. Dahn singled to right, and went to third on H. Buhrow's single, Buhrow stealing second. Schumacher got his second triple, * scoring two runs, A. Buhrow grounded out to second, Schumacher holding third. A pinch hitter batted for Zimmerman, who had struck out four times, and doubled to center. W. Storm's single then scored the fourth run of the inning and left the tying run on base, but Schreiber, who had replaced Storm, flied om to Palmer. MAACS-- Bacon, ss M. Whiting, 2b, If ..5 S.

True to all predictions the ten men representing the Knox Sinclairs in the playground league speeded up their play enough to take a pair of games from Karls and the Cities Service gangs. This brought them into a tie for second place with the latter. Stillings still lead the league, though they have played one less game than their pursuers and areftfahle to drop into a three-way tie foV first place if Karls' men get back on their feet. Duxie Knox poled out a home-run in Tuesday night's game just to show the boys that1 he can do his stuff. George Justen got out of a week's vacation in bed to demonstrate that a rest is what he needed. He also startled the fans by making a nice catch of a liner to right, as well as doing his stuff with the willow. Maybe a little tough of illness would help sojjae t>f the other '"weakling*!"
