The big attraction :-L "was Jim Londos, who was matched . -with Kwariana, and Jim McMillan of „ Grayslake, who met Fred Grobmeir , of Iowa, famed for Ms application of the scissors. The vaunted batting power of the .{tabs, popularly supposed to function ^•sjin the pinches with men on base, has > T <1been sadly lacking so far this season. v In the first seven games of the sea- -%yason the Cubs had just sixty-four men 7 *i||left on base, more than nine a game ,£*®and slightly over one an inning.

As it was he was well satisfied with the showing made by his youngsters and has hopes that at least a few of them might turn out to be the point-getters of the future. Crystal Lake won the meet. mer Is over. The plan will go into effect at 2:00 a. m. MBit Sunday morning. By GRANT DIXON Patzke proved to be the individual star of the meet for the locals, taking two firsts and tying for a third. He won the pole vault at 9 feet 9, crossed the bar at 5 feet 6% thches to tie with Krause of Woodstock and Spreyer, and then went on to surpass all the other efforts at broadjumping by a considerable margin. His best jump was 21 feet 9 inches and is one of the best recorded hereabouts in recent years. With a little improvement Patzke should imperil the county mark and may thereby earn the right to participate in the state meet this spring. Innis Brown, managing editor of the American Golfer, once captain of the Vanderbilt football eleven and later captain of artillery In France, tells me something which interests me greatly. He says that Ann Harding, the lovely blond actress, is a daughter of the late Gen. G. G. Gatley, who was our brigadier general and as colorful a commander as any outfit ever had. Owing to his forcible methods of expression and his initials. General Gatley was privately known to the soldiers under his command as "Good God Gus," but that nickname carried both admiration and affection. His men would have followed him anywherev aa men will follow any real aoldier. '• • • % General Gatley, first with the Thirtieth and later with the Forty-Second division in the World war, made his reputation long before, in the Philippines, as the commander of a mountain battery. He would take his guns apart, pack them on mules, and transport them to heights seemingly impossible for field guns to go into action. One day a supply mule, attracted by something in the valley, stretched its neck too far over the edge of a A big time is in store for those who I mountain trail, lost its footing and plan to attend the boxing show at plunged many hundred feet to the Cleveland seems to have picked a winner in this Vosmik, outfielder who has sort of stolen Bib Falk's job as a regular.

Manager Giese had originally planned to resume this discontinued program with eight bouts on the card, five boxing and three wrestling. Since that time amateur wrestling has received • severe setback and as a result has been suspended for a six months period by the Amateur Athletic Association. The result is that the show tomorrow night will tie devoid of wrestling, but will feature some extra fast action in the ring. Program starts at 8:30 sharp the iadies are invited. Baseball players, baseball fafts, golfers and tennis enthusiasts, as well as followers of other lines of sport, will no doubt wish to thank the voters of the city foT putting daylight saving time into effect for the first -time in many years.

And then how many have visited the park .in the past few days? A wonderful transformation has taken place, so remarkable that more than one fan has pledged his good will to the team and the manager that was willing to go ahead in the face of adversity and have made good by using that old do or die spirit, the kind that wins the ball games and also comes in handy In organising ball clubs.

The then Captain Gatley Strode to the edge, looked down at the dark spot that was the defqnct mule, and said, "Serves you right, you inquisitive son of a Jackass!" • • His men tell countless stories concerning him. After he went to the Rainbow division, an artillery officer who had been up observing fire, told me that one night, in the dark of a front line trench, he stepped on a sleeping figure rolled in a blanket From the language which ensued, he knew it was the general, although he Couldn't figure out exactly how an artillery brigadier happened to get there. But General Gatley was likely to be anywhere, except at the rear. • • * One of General Gatley's si that a military encam^men place for dogs, yet lie once^iai to which he was devoted. I brindle bulldog, named t Wo| soldiers, given to the general by Col. John S. Hammond, now vice president of Madisoq Square garden, who served with Gatley all over the world. Knowing how the general felt about dogs, Hammond tried to keep Wop out of sight, but, as preparations were being made for a practice march, Gatley caught sight of him. Colonel Hammond supposed he had lost his dog and so he had, but not as he thought. The general said to him. "If that dog should happen to ride in the rear of the mess wagon, I won't see him. Understand?" Colonel Hammond understood, but later had a fight with his tentmate over the dog, which was addicted to eating toothbrushes and pajamas. By way of settling the matter, General Gatley promptly had Wop removed to his own tent, and finally Colonel Hammond officially relinquished all claim to him. • • • Once General Gatley told me that he was about to advance me In rank, but, knowing well that my amateur standing as a soldier would never be open to question, he added, "Just because I am doing this, don't get the idea that you are any gol dam Napoleon." Only the general never said "gol darn." Finally he sent me with an advance detachment to France, for purposes of study and observation. We were on a practice range at the time and the general was quartered in a little wooden shack. It was night when we left and be had put in a hard day. Going to say good-by to him, I found tiim in bed, with only that warlike red head of his showing above the covers. I thanked him and told him I would do my best Rearing ap on his elbow, be bellowed at me: "What the hell do you think I am sending yon over there for?" * • .jBut, as I left htm, he called after me, "God bless you, boy. Take care of yourself." That was why men would follow General Gatley. When he died recently, they blew taps over a soldier with a brave and kindly heart. \ I talked recently with a girl, blind from birth, who had been a Broad. -She told me some things concerning Europe I had never seen, and many I had never heard. Her impressions were extraordinarily accurate and colorful; a strange thing to say of one who does not know color, but true. Except for what she sees through another's eyes, places to her are things of sound, scent and touch, and each is clearly differentiated in her mind. (A ltsi.

Pmpiatic Tire in 1845 In 1845, an English Inventor, R. W. Thompson, placed on the market the first pneumatic tires. They were mad« of canvas and leather and stress was laid on their quiet operation, rathe* than on their comfort. Used on the ordinary cart wheel, which had iron rims and heavy wooden spokes, the effect was very crude compared to the tires In use today.
