ItcHenry You fellows who want to play tell, don't forget to be out for practice every Tuesday and Thursday evening, Dear S.I.H.: - •[::'>• ;:f Why, oh why did you ever pick that particular game of last Friday when my Cubs put on that clownish performance? Or, perhaps, you won't judge them too severely if you were able to get there for practice and warmup -- (they really lam them over the fence before game time!). Sunday morning as I settled down to enjoy a perfect day of baseball (yes, I was in Wrigley Field four houns before game time) I glanced out to center field and saw a most familiar figure ambling around -- talking to the few bleacherites who had assembled at that hour -- his cap, or rather the peak of it, turned up at an angle sorta S. E. by S. -- I wondered Directly he loped in to play shortstop, Cavaretta's No. 3 on his uniform -- and then Roy Johnson who was pitching to the batters stepped out of the box and motioned in the erstwhile fielder -- Whang -- the first ball pitched, down he went on one knee and then I was sure -- the Mississippi Mud Cat, old Guy Bush, had returned to the scene of his triumphs. The crowd is almost as interesting as the game -- for instance, the lady. in back of me who evidently learned her baseball from Pat Flanagan via the ether waves, who, when Billy Herman attempted to steal second with two down and two strikes on Lieber called Billy all the bonehead exple Bob Hoag were among the six lads j pared by Miss May Justen and mem who were awarded Star Scout rank- bers of her foods class, was begun at ing.

Ed Corey and Jack Hoag, Jr., were the'recipients of that award. Three others were not present. Next, twenty-six Scouts were the receivers of a larpe pile of Merit Badge certificates. One fellow was piven about ten, which proves that he has been doing some hard working. Eight Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters were presented Certifi- The menu consisted of hors d'oeu- Vres, fruit cocktail ambrosia, veal birds, baked stuffed potatoes, petits pois with mushroom sauce and G.A.A. strawberry trifle.

Then, Mr. Miller got right down to business and didn't allow another man to get farther than second base. The boys really had the eye on the bail, batting out 17 hits, A1 "Pepper" Freund, fleet-foot center fielder, had two doubles. Wally Smith also collected two doubles, while Bud Meyer slammed a triple. Meyer really- look ed like that great shortstop of 1938 and at the bat he had himself four for six. Nice going, "Bud," keep it up. Next Sunday, May 28, the Ringwood Cubs will appear on the Johnsburg ball park. This should be a real game because both teams are out to win. that field. The last presentation was the featM er awards given to the Troops for participation in the Merit Badge Show at Woodstock early this spring.

Accept my apologies, please. But how, here's »lf the dope in a nut shell. All right, it *iw just a newspaper column. Maybe you've heard Iif now that the Juniors won the basketball tournament. I didn't flunk they'd keep it quiet. During the past month the girls have been rather busy playing baseball and trying to outrun the boys on the track. The boys and girls had a joint track meet last week and, of course, the Seniors won with those dizzy, scatter-brained Sophomores as runners-up. Don't take me too seriously, Sophies. Is it a wonder that the Seniors won? Not when we consider that Dolores Wagner was on the team.

Schuh, the modern version of "Strangler" Lewis, ex-world's champ, is highly regarded among the pro heavyweights not only for his great size and strength, but also for his scientific knowlegde of the game.

She's very modest about it and doesn't brag one bit. Catherine Rothermel won the pingpong tournament which was held some time ago.
