VJ By */ *ZEKE" BACON Bill Kreutzer made the prise stop of the day when he strove to escape Bick's line drive right through the box by leaping over it. In doing so he •topped the ball with his instep and then threw Bick out at first. "Spots" made a very logical answer to a question plied at him after he left the game Sunday. Hie query put to him was "How's the arm, Spots?" and his answer, "If it was any good I wouldn't be fitting here," and that just about describes the intensity of his desire to trim the A's, which he twice has proved he can do by shutting them oat on two previous occasions. • . Arlington Park tried out a new sys. tem of charging but f 1 admission to the park last Tuesday and found that it worked so well that they have decided to continue the plan, probably until the close of the se&sou there the Iftst of July. Since Arlington has about the best roster of horses of any track in the States it Is quite likely that others will follow suit and a buck will get you in anywhere, '• • ..J v**'-"- , ffext Sunday brings Regner Boosters nine, formerly known as Wonder Lake, to town again. Jd« Regner will be at the head of the troupe and will probably see more action than he did last time his boys exhibited here when he confined himself to the third base coaching job. The crowd clamored for him last time and they'll probably demand to see him in action again when he makes his appearance Sunday. After aafctng how old Rrbdman, the A'« tofautii^ left fielder, could be, Clarence Anderson declared himself to be of the opinion that he must have smoked when he was a youngster. Whether oj not he smoked the little fellow can sock that ball and he's a mighty hard man to pitch to when he squats himself beside the plat* Lon Warnecke trimmed the Giants 5-4 Tuesday for his seventh win in a row and his fourteenth victory of the season. It is the third time he has made the Giants his servants. But good old Wesley Ferrell is still way ahead of him with seventeen wins to his credit and Gomez of the Yanks has sixteen. Ellen and Pender Walsh were among those of the Weber party who witnessed the double rout of the Giants by the Cubs last Sunday. Ellen is quite the Cub fan and gets far more kick out of a yvictory than many of the members of the other sex, and she knows her baseball, too. Yes, Pete Weber was along but he didn't have such a good time. But maybe the Cubsll loee next time, iFete! . Bob Hoff, editor of the "Weekly Fore and Aft," a Plstakee Yacht club publication, got a nice wrlteup in a Chicago paper last week in William tH. Stuart's column- Bob's stuff deals Wtirely with sailing and contains some fine tributes to the boys who maneuver the craft over the waters of the chain of lakes. Among other articles he has one reminiscent of other days when his grandfather, Joe Haas, Billie Small, Frank Lackowski, Henry L. Hertz and Ed Sohillo were the stars of the aquatic sport. Freitas, Philadelphia's yorac star hurler, pulled a freak double play unassisted, Monday. With men on second and third Freitas ran toward the third base line, fielded Schulte's grounder, continued to tag out Levey and then ran over and trapped Blaehoider between second and third and tagged him out without making a throw. He injured his foot in the play and had t„> retire, but gained credit for his sixth straight wins. That wild ninth inning of Sunday's g&aie proved to a lot of fians th«t it does one good to attend these local ball games. Just what would some of these clamorous fans do if they had no place to express themselves as they please and it th8 same time "blow off" &U their excess enthusiasm t Yes, sir, baseball's a swell game in more ways than one, but it should never be mixed with any other sports as Sunday's attempt proved to several of the fans. , Mrs. Elizabeth WlnffmueTTer, foi-met champion of the DeePaso County club of Sacramento, Calif., and a member of the team which won the championship of northern California, and at present a resident of MjcHenry and a new member of the club, is shooting up to her old form on the course these hot days. Monday, Mrs. Windmueller had a 40 on\ „C; first nine, which is some mighty «".^ * golf. She has shot the 18 in 88 and Mi's. Windmueller is expected to play the course as low as 80. Jurges, wounded Cub shortstop, is out of the game indefinitely, due to the finding of another bullet between his ribs, planted there by a feminine admirer. Another ex-Cub, Howard Freigau, formerly known as the hitless third baseman back in the days when the third base problem was even more of a question than today, dove into a pool, hit his head on the bottom and drowned- Babe Ruth also is put on the shelf with an injury to the same thigh that kept him out of the game for so long two years ago. Looks like Jimmy Foxx for home run honors all the way. - » • • > <-< LOCALS DESPITE WILD NCTTH Tbe McHenry Athleties finally got up and won a ball game from the ambitious Locals, but * in *o doing allowed the Locals to walk away with most of the honor and glory. The score was 10-8 when that wild ninth, inning - was concluded, but along' about the sixth it looked mighty different with the A's out in front by a 10-0 count. From that it can be seen that most of the ball game took place in the latter inning^. "Spots" Thurlwell took the mound for the Locals, but it was soon evident that his arm was far from right, due to injuries received in an auto smashup a week ago. After allowing two hits and a run in the first two innings he loaded the bases at the start of thp third without retiring a man and then decided he had had enough so gave way to Bill Kreutzer, who pitched some neat ball in spots. P«t to get back to that big inning when the A's blew up like a helium bag. Lefy Krohn, who had started for the A's, gave way to Dievall in the sixth, af^er allowing only two hits and narry a'ran, the idea being to see what this Dievall had. He hnd plenty but, after the Locals had picked up a pair of runs on one scratch hit and some mighty loose fielding and thereby averted a shutout he seemed to grow careless and the result w&£ ft big bang that almost cost the ball game. A. Anderson started it off with a single to right. Pfannenstill singled to left, Stoffel to center, Geier to right and Smith rolled to the pitcher. Schroeder was safe on a fielder's choice, but was out stealing, Lyons to Whiting. T- Anderson hit to H. Freund, who made a low throw to first and pulled Bick off the bag for what should have been the final out. iiill Kreutzer then popped a high one back of first that Bick, Whiting and Smith held a poll over and decided that Smith should take, but Smith evidently wasn't in favor of the nomination so he dropped the balL Then Walkington singled and so did A. Anderson for Ills second hit Judge Feinberg of Chicago was an interested visitor at the McHenry Country club Wednesday, despite the devastating rays of the torrid sun. The judge knows and likes his golf and pronounced the McHenry course a very entertaining eighteen. John Monahan of Chicago made a hole in one on the 18th hole at the McHenry Country club Sunday, only to have a player in the following foresome take the edge off the performance with a duplicate of the feat. Despite the fact that the twin performances make it seem rather common there have been but five holes made with a single shot at the McHenry club since it was opened many years ago. nil t "-ri of the inning. Bick was then called in to finish the sortie and 1m did mighty pronto by fanning Pfannenstill on three pitched balls. And that rally, after being apparently hopelessly beaten, is how the "kids" pulled down the lion's share of the glory in the ffrst victory of the A's over the Locals this season. The A's built up their early lead at the expense of "Spot's" disabled arm. They scored one in the second on Thennes' two-base muff of Lyons' smash down the left field line- Whiting brought him home with a single to left to start the scoring. Ii> the third the lid blew way off with H. Freund leading off with a single. Bick singled and Brodman got the first of his two walks, which, with a double in his first time up, gave him a perfect day at bat while he was in the game. With the bases full, Ritta poked one to the shortstop, Wally Kreutzer, who fielded the ball, but too late to force Harold Freund at the plate. He tried to throw to second and then to first, but both bags were uncovered so had to hold the ball and be the goat on a play that wasn't his fault at all. Ritta had to be credited with a hit. Lyons then fifed to Teddy Anderson in efeort center and then Bacon singled to left, scoring two runs and putting Ritta on third. An error by Kreutzer allowed Ritta to score and when Schroeder allowed Krohn's third strike to escape him, Ba^on also scored. The A's then picked up another m the fourth and three more in the sixth to accomplish their total, but did nothing thereafter, seemingly being content with their apparently sife lead. But, oh! whaVa shock was that ninth! ATHLETICS-- w H.

Last Sunday afternoon they defeated the highly rated Dundee Blue Birds, and continued their winning streak to four straight Although outhit they managed, to draw twelve passes and bunching hits with passes they scored- eight runs in the fourth inning. M. Beu was the hitting star of thfe game, getting four solid hits, two of them doubles, lie Shamrocks now have the services of Joe Sehmitt, better known as Joe, the Janitor. Joe entered the game in the fourth inning, drove out two hits, which drove in four runs and scored one run himself, all in the fourth inning. Joe Glosson hung up his sixth straight victory. He held Dundee hitless for the first three Innings and thereafter just breezed along in easy fashion until the slxtTi inning, when he was relieved by Harold Wolck. Next, Sunday the Shamrocks travel to Grayslake, where they will take on th» Renard Chevies in the first game of a ddub^ header.

Joe, the Janitor, got another but then Joe bias performed such feats more or less frequently in the past and the large aggregation of fans that assemble to watch these teams perform on Tuesday and Thursday nights have grown accustomed to such occurrences and treat them with an air of familiarity, but not so Pete's homers, no, sir. Of course, Pete did forget to snap the ball through for a double play at one time during the game, but that can be overlooked since he smacked out his longest hit of the season. George.
