To make Bill's afternoon extra busy he landed on base flvv times in as many trips to the plate. Three hits, a walk and an error accounted for the activity. js Anderson had plenty of speed, hut lacked the control shown in recant games. Decides, his support failed to sparkle. LeRoy Wagner, iiecently installed in the shortstop position, drilled three .hits through the infield to account for half of the McHenry hit production. All in all, it was Kreutier's turn to shine and he pitched a masterful game in spite of three errors in his infield. I Jdkaaharg Tiger* -- 11 AB H. Freund, cf Ji JN. Smith, 2b-- 5 ^ B.

STOP SHAMROCK TRAM The Shamrocks were unsuccessful in their attempt to gain their twentieth victory of the season Sunday as All-Nations of North Chicago nipped them by a score of 4 - 0. The colored boys' veteran left-hander, Barry Cunningham, was too much for the visiting Shamrocks. Both teams collected seven )i|ts hut the Sbemroeka were unable to score because of Cunningham's ability to pour it in with men on the base paths. At one spot the losers had the bases loaded with only one out but the veteran lefty fanned Jfan Larldn and Tom Bolger to end the threat Fsto Dowell had a perfect day at » trtth three-' bits and a walk in four trips to the plate.

Not many Scouts, were present who should have been there because we had many interesting things to discuss. The Scout circus at Belvidere which will be held on September 27, 1941, was the first thing to be discussed. This will be the Blackhawk area council's circus and will include five counties. They want us as Troop 162 to pitch tent*, start a fire, eat and clean up in ten minu%es, and beat it. We expect 8,000 to be watching us at only twenty-five cents per person. Where else could you see the youth of America, your future defenders from foreign agitators, training to build up their bodies and minds? So if you want to help Troop 162, buy a ticket when a Boy Scout comes around. Scouts, get your tickets from Dick Baum. There will be an overnight hike to Sherman's Hill this Friday night. Bring enough food for two meals. Any boy over eleven may come. We expect to use our new tents on the hike. We bought these tents from the money If* over from the Antericsn Legion poppy sale last.spring- Scout Norman Knaack is supposed to drill the Scouts on the hike in pitching and packing tents in a hurry. Don't forget the Board of Review next Monday Scouts. We haven't won the banner yet. There is a new requirement for First Class Scouts and that is that thejr have to bring in a new recruit and teach him the Tender, foot test and pass him on them. Larry Phalin was appointed Scribe with Harry Mueller as his assistant. Next Monday we will also organize patrols, so think of Scouts who you want to be leaden. Be Prepared!

AUSTIN, TEXAS.--Frank Hamer, former Texas Ranger captain, terror of Sgutiiwest outlaws, is busy these days with plans for a national defense unit of picked men to serve on call wherever •* and whenever needed. Captain Hamar't most famous feat was the successful trailing of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. He was in retirement from the Rangers after SS years' service when he took up the hunt for the Southwest's No. 1 badman of the time and his red-haired girl who smoked big cigars. . It was the girl's fondness for a particular brand of cigarettes rather than cigars that proved a factor in Hamer** trailing the pair from Tens through Missouri and Oklahoma into Louisiana. Harrier entered the search at request of Texas prison authorities and Texas highway patrol officers after Barrow had been named as outside plotter of a prison escape in which four desperadoes got away. A few weeks later, on April 1,1934, two highway patrolmen saw a parked automobile on a side road near Grapevine, Texas. When they stopped to investigate and offer a ^ if needed, they were shot to death by a dark-haired man aid a redhaired woman. Ham or Takes Trail. Officers reached the conclusion that Barrow and his companion were the slayer* Of the patrolmen, and Hamer was put on their trail. He followed It lttt days until they pulled up, as he expected, at a forest "post office" where Hamer had learned Barrow communicated with his friends. The "post office" was a board in a pine forest a short distance from where a road ran over a knoll. There Bonnie could watch for any one approaching while Clyde get the "mail." Hamer never would reveal how he lrarned of this spot. He said he had traced Clyde and Bonnie to Louisiana by Close study of their habits--the kind of whisky Barrow drank, her brand of cigarettes, the particular tobacco Barrow used to roll cigarettes, and purchases of lettuce to feed a white rabbit that was Bonnie's pet. Hamer's hunches proved correct for when Clyde and Bonnie drove up the road eight nules from Plain Dealing, La., and stopped on May 28, 1984, Hamer and nine companions were spaced 10 feet apart behind brush pBed up on the side of the road oppoeite the "poet office." Bee eh for Weapons. As the car stopped Hamer called on the pair to surrender. Instead, accounts of the affair say, they reached for wwgens. The car was riddled with huBelr Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parkdr were killed inside it. In the automobile, officers reported finding three' automatic rifles, two sawed-off shotguns and 10 automatic pistols. There were 100 maduM gun ciipe and 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
