We wouldn't mind a whirl, but hate to think of the : fQdden stop. . . . Hugh Murphy pitched * great £me against Richmond last Suny to put the Shamrocks in the .500. class. One hit--and that a pop fly--ruined a no-hit game. Ray Miller lifted one in back of second that somebody should have called for. Knox, Conway and Wagner all headed for the ball, but it fell between them. Well, those things happen in the big leagues so we shouldn't worry too much about «uch happenings in our class of baseball. The "Micks" made errors, 'but looked alive. Seemed to have that old Shamrock spirit that carried through many a tight ball game in past years., That county league race has turned into a three-way tie that may or may not unravel next Sunday. Woodstock, Algonquin and Johnsblirg are tied for first place with Stone of the leaders facing each other next Sunday. It looks like a special play-off is in the making.. -- Algonquin is a cinch to beat Hebfon. Woodstock rates to beat Richmond, but that, could be close. "Connie" Miller showed a good curve last Sunday, but he didn't use it much. Johnsburg is coming to McHenry li?>r a game that looks like the best "l&ttle on the schedule. Bud Miller is about as cool and steady as they come, but he will be facing a worthy opponent next Sunday. If Murphy can approach the 4orm he showed last Sunday, the "Micks" are going to be tough to Ifcat. Had Johnsburg been able to take Algonquin into camp last Sunday, they would have been on top of the world. : j Ride 'em, Cowboy: Walter Carey's electricians are demanding horses. It seems that Wal- 5ter and Chart ie Gibbs have a couple of cows pastured on the outskirts of town. The grass looked nice and green on the golf course so that's where the cows picked to feast on Tuesday morning. Walter's men rode the range--without horses! It was nearly time for the soldier to leave the hospital, but he was too 'Comfortable to want to go. So when tine nurse wasn't looking he dipped the thermometer in a cup of hot tea. JEhen, later, when the nurse said "that he must get ready to be moved out,- he protested, "But it was worse this morning. My temperature was up." "Yes, I know," she replied : *ently, "to 130. You're dead. That's *thy we axe moving you." Here it is only Wednesday morng and the boss says to "get that lipy in here." What he doesn't know is that our «S. B. C." is leading us to Wrigley Field to watch her Cubs play Brooklyn in a double-header. We could . probably have a lot to say when we get home, but the boss wont wait. We have befen watching farmers grind their hay, then blow it into the mows. What next? Saw Jack Keenan, looking nifty in his Navy uniform, for a. brief visit Tuesday night. Jack has been across a couple of years, glad he entered service, but not asking for any more. He notes many changes since getting -feick to the good old U. S. A. His biggest surprise is in trying to shop in stores;-r-And Jack had ideas of buying an automobile when he got home! r Returning servicemen are learning that we refer to money as "cold cash" because few of us can keep it l«»g enough for it to warm up. NOTICE Because of the government order to cut the working week of its civil service employees from 48 hours to 44 hours, the Waukegan Social .^Security board office will close on Satilrday afternoons. The new day hours. 8:30 a. m. to 12:30 p.m., were announced by Bernard Barnett, office manager. They are effective immediately. CARD OF THANKS • In this manner we wish to express our sincere thanks to those who sent tiral offerings and cards and for e many other expressions of sympathy extended in our recent be- _reavement. MRS. MARTIN TUCKER, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 1 ham been the beat come, dlans baaeball has known in flje last 40 or M yeera? .This thought .came hounding along after reading A1 Schacht's merry and interesting tome kzfown aa "G I Had Fun." A1 Schacht it certainly one of the member* of the king pin row. One of the first of these waa Crasy Schmidt, aar nnreaiiw kjui humorist, who pitched tor Cincinnati several decades back. Othera include Arlie Latham, Rube WaddeU, Tacks Parrott. Ping Bodie, Germany Schaefer, Nick Altrock, Sherry Magee, O'Nei) of Dtey Dtu the Cardinals and Dizzy Dean. There have been many others but these l^e the ones who still remain longer in memory. Crazy Schmidt went out to pitch with a glove, a baseball and a holebook he carried in his hip pocket. contents of this book noted the weakness of every man he had pitched against--a high one or a low one--a curve or a fast cne. As the batter came td the plate Schmidt would take out the notebook containing some 100 names to check on his weakness. "What have yon get written against Bans Wagner's name?" one of his teammates once asked. "A base en balls," Schmidt said. Germany Schaefer was one of the stars in this field. He was then playing second base, for Detroit. I recall a game years ago where Schaefer was playing in Cleveland. Around the third inning it began to rain. During the fourth inning it poured. Tommy Connolly was umpiring and Germany lcept squawking to have the game called. Connolly refused. When the fifth inning opened Connolly looked around and found Schaefer playing second base with high rubber boots, a raincoat, a Gloucester fisherman's hat and holding a big umbrella over his head. Connolly charged Schaefer with a roar and told him to remove his deep sea make-up. Schaefer refused. "I have a very bad cold," he told Connolly, "which is now bordering on pneumonia. If I get rid of my robber boots, my raincoat and my umbrella I will be in the hospital in less than two hours and I will certainly sue you and the league." Connolly called the game. Schaefer had a keen, quick wit and could always draw a laugh. Waddell had the Athletics goofy by buying a mockingbird owned by the proprietor of a popcorn and peanut stapd that .JM&jrvWhistle attached. All the mockingbird could do was wake up the entire floor shortly after daybrwrk'by singing his only song --p the song of the peanut whistle, with an added screech. Ping Bbdie and Dizzy Dean It was the immortal Ping Bodie with the Yankees who bought a parrot and spent weeks teaching said parrot to keep sayings over and over--"Cjlng inade' g6od" -- "Ping made good." But after all, Dizzy Dean in many differenftFwrti was the top of them --outside ' of Ufchacht. Dizzy was loaded with pranks, as* well as pretty homely wit. There was the time in Florida when Dean had reported as a rookie from the Texas league. Jimmy Wilson, the veteran catcher, began missing his silk shirts. . Finally Jimmy caught Dean bedecked in one of these garments and the idea of a raw rookie wearing his silk shirts was too 'much to stand. He started in to bawl out Dizzy when the rookie stopped him cold with this comeback: ; "Now wait just* a minute, Jimmy,", Dizzy said, "you wouldn't want the greatest pitcher baseball has ever known to go around a month Wearing a single shirt, would you?" Jimmy let him have the. shirt. I was walking with Dizzy by a hotel in Bradenton one day when he said he had a phone call to make. He was gone some time. He finally came out wearing a wide grin. "Well," he said, "I Just called up Sam Breadou in St. Louis. J told Mm I had changed my mind about signing for any $20,IM. We had a long hot argument. He threatened to havfe me thrown out of baseball. We masta argued 20 minutes. Then I finally told Sam I had already signed and ^sent my eentraet in." "What was the idea in doing that?" I asked. May grinned, "I had the charges reversed and it cost Sam $43." There was^ also the time -on a blistering day in St. Louis, temperature 112, the crowd melting, when suddenly a wisp of smoke came up in front of the Cardinal bench. There sat Dizzy decked out in a heavy overcoat, warming his hands in front of a fire he had just built. And I still recall his classic remark after his arm was about gone when he was warming up for the Cubs to pitch a world series game against the Yankees^. "How you feeling, Diz," I asked. r*Well," he said, "I ain't what 1 used to .be. But who in hell lit** on Page Six HELP WANTED--"Just For Fun" Roller Rink.

Hugh was' faced with troublesome errors at various points, but showed courage and competative spirit to pitch his way out of jams. The "Micks" threatened in the third, fourth and fifth innings, but couldn't put over a run until the sixth. With one down in the third, Harold Freund slammed a hit through the center of the diamond. Conway followed with a base on balls. Nothing more happened. The fourth was disappointing from a local standpoint. "Moose" Wagner opened with a double over the centerfielder's head, but got overambitious in rounding second base. A quick play from center to short to second nipped the "Moose" befdre he could complete a sprawl back to second base. Murphy and Harry Stilling followed with singles. But, no runs! Knox drew a walk to open the fifth, but wag quickly wiped out in a double play. Conway then got life on a high throw to first.- Over-, sliding second was Dick's downfall^-- j And still ho runs! Now here's the sixth inning where hits began to pay off. Bolger started the uprising with a hit to left and Miller singled. Wagner singled and went to second on the throw-in, scoring Bolger and putting Miller on third. Miller attempted to score on a passed ball but was nipped as Connie Miller covered the plate.

Busy hands need frequent washing to get rid of dirt that settles into the creases and around the naili. Washing is the first step to keep hands pretty. Be sure to rinse the hands, and to wipe them thoroughly dry. Nothing causes chapping and roughness so quickly as half-dried hands. Many women like to use a lotion after they have dried their hands, or to apply a coating of cold cream at bedtime for eight hours of softening. They wear loose white gloves to keep the sheets clean, and oi course wash the gloves ! after each wearing. In the morning, | wash the hands thoroughly with I soap and water, *wipe them bone-dry j on a soft clean towel, and push the I cuticle back gently with the towel. {Cut hangnails with sterile clippers j or scissors. File the fingernails to {the most becoming shape--round or [ pointed. But more important than shape is practical length. For busy ! hands, keep nails filed fairly short. ! They break less easily, and are easier to keep clean, too.
