H.! <*• Taking the part of the hunter, as the pheasant season is in full swing, we have asked several farmers what the h --• harm tbe boys could do in their sport of bagging a few birds. --i-- Bombs fell! . . . In their replies. --I-- In nice language, it goes like this: In exchange for some gift, such as a quart of fire-water, and the promise of some rabbity pheasants or whatever, the farmer says for the hunter to go right ahead . . . and good luck • 11" • Act two finds the farmer wondering how come his pet cat, prize bull, fat rooster or best horse is full of buckshot? ... or who was the so-and-so that left the gate open? Act three finds the farmer hotter than a firecracker and ready to put a ten foot wall around his whole(fsrro. --9-- That's the story we heard. But, in all fairness, the farmers will add that a few poor sports spoil the fun for the good fellows who are certainly in the majority. 'Twas ever thus! «Pa" Thennes has no further news on his fly swatting invention,, tat promises us all his "scoops." Well, that was what you might call "sudden death" for Ol' Gabby Hartnett. In 193$ Gabby was pot thp {*irhaired boy with sports writers. Last year he seemed to win his spurs as a manager. Just when Hartnett thought he and Roosevelt both had third term! all set, one big vote by Owner Wrigley ended it all for the Gabber. Hartnett has spent nineteen years with the Cubs. They should have given him one more year . .*. then a pension. - Most of us won't get the same kick out of the Cubs with the one an^ only Gabby out of there. In his prime the old boy was a whole show in himself. Hi? rollicking manner and flare for showmanship made the bulky, old redneck one of baseball's greatest favorites. --I-- We saw a shining example of his showmanship. one sunny afternoon following infield practice. The batboy, sitting on second base, held up his glove as a target. As the fans whooped it up, the ball sailed from Gabby's arm smack into the target. Back *<-lit the ball to Gabby at the home plate. Howls went up from tho stands for a repeat performance* Gabby, the master showman, obliged. That great right arm whipped another jtrike t® the target. Hartnett bowed, grinned and strode triumphantly back to the bench. We have long since forgotten the ijrame or who played, but the Hartnett showmanship lingered on. . --I-- Around the Bowling Allejra ,1 Bchaefer's: This shoe business is going from bad to worse over Canada way. Lie- Roy Conway walked off with "Prof." Nye's shoes this week, v Jr. Frisby rolled a 267 game this week.

Tlie Ladies' League shows plenty of ^good scores. The big wind blew the football game away Monday night, but it's scheduled now for Saturday night of this week.

Coach Reed is working hard to put 'his basketball squad in shape for the ©pener next Tuesday night. * \ The team has possibilities . . . and tome ifs!

It's great sport. f-l-- Marie Powers was giving Dick Williams quite a ribbing about his ability as a hunter when Dick came back with ... "I had a letter--a very nice letter--from the -State Department of Conservation asking me to let up a little this year." Sort of a share-thegame- plan.

It will be remembered that the only professional in the world ever to win a single fall from Ruffy was Matty Matsura, 175 pounder who won with a Japanese strangle in Grayslake three years ago. A special event of the evening pits local favorite Jim McMillan against ex-All-American football star "Tarzan" White, currently a tackle on the Chicago Cardinals. White is the winner of the Pacific Coast pro wrestling tournament, a three week contest in which he eliminated more than fifteen of the nation's top-ranking wrestlers. The semi-windup features the return of mighty Karol Krauser, Polish heavyweight champion and refugee, against rough Rudy Kay, Chicago's own ga» house kid. Krauser held the heretofore untied and unbeaten Jim McMillen to an hour draw in Grayslake last summer. Old Timers Standard Oil -- Wattles, 489; J.

SCOUT ADOLPH WEIDEMAN. ARMISTICE DAY GAME 18 POSTPONED UNTIL THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Owing to extremely inclement weather the annual High 8chool and Alumni game was postponed until Saturday night, November 16, providing the cold wave abates to some extent. * Again we urge all who can attend not to miss this classic game. The ldck-off will be at eight o'clock sharp. From the reports we hear the "Alumni Steam-Rollers" are supposed to have a razzle-dazzle attack. We know from having seen the "Warriors" in action that they have plenty of tricky aerial plays. It should be a good wide open game. Don't fail to see it. Alumni support the "Steam-Rollers;" High §chool students, your "Warriors." YOUNG PEOPLE'S CLtffc Due to the noise in the gym interfering with dress rehearsal for the Junior class play, the Young People s club will not be able to use the gymnasium this Thursday evening, November 14. >It had been planned, instead, to meet Saturday evening, but because of the High School - Alumni football game, this too has been called off. The next regular meeting will be Thursday November 28. FOR SPORTSMEN! An Insurance, policy for sportsmen only is now available at only $2.00 per year. Covers all hunting and fishing accidents.
