WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1919 WILMETTE WINS AGAIN: THIS TIME BY FORFEIT The Wilmette Orioles have taken out a lease on the baseball field on Lake avenue, one block west of Ridge avenue, for the remainder of the season. The field was used sev- eral years ago by the old Gross Point team, but the new lease-holders have been playing on it this year. The Fort Sheridan and Highwood baseball teams are billed to oppose the locals on Sunday; the first game with the doughboys, starting at 8 o'clock. A professional battery will operate against Wilmette and will strive to break the record of six Wtraight wins held by them. High- wood is also expected to show con- siderable opposition and as they are noted as one of the best slugging teams on the north shore a treat is in store for all the loyal fans who can come out. Raap is billed to pitch the opener while Schwall will start in the sec ond. Raap may try the "iron-mah" stunt and attempt to pitch. both games. As he possesses a bundle of nerve and a good arm the odds are with him to the full eighteen innings. Wilmette's baseball team copped its sixth straight game Sunday although it took an umpire's decision to win it for them. The entire game was unusually poorly playad both by the locals and the losers. The clerks' team from the freight claim department of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad were the op- ponents and probably would have won the game in the last of a sched- uled seven-inning game if the afore- mentioned decision had not termin- ted the pastime in a row. The play that brought about the dispute came in the last inning when Wilmette was in the lead by one run, the score at the time being 8-7. The Chicago boys wanted to catch an early train home so the game was curtailed. Wilmette's usually good defense had cracked, th: tying run had crossed the plate, and the bags were loaded with no outs when Bor- re, who was hurling for Wilmette, saw the runner on third taking a big lead. He partially faced 'the batter but did not have his foot in the bex when suddenly he threw the ball to third baseman Leis and caught the runner off the base. The umpire called the runner out and to all eyes he was out, with the exception of the eyes of the opponents. They rushed to the field and argued that the pitcher balked and the runner should not have been called out but instead be allowed to score on the play. Wolschen, the umpire, was staunch in his decision and after the Chicago boys refused to continue to play and walked off the field he awarded the game to Wilmette by forfeit, 9 to 0. The feature of the game was Raap's running catch of Permer's fly in the ,rst inning and his batting. He annexed three hits in four times to bat and scored three runs. Borre pitched indifferent ball during the entire game, being nicked for 14 hits in six and 1-3 innings. At one time while at bat he slammed the ball to left field for two basses but failed to touch first base and was called out by the umpire. Before the game started Otto Stordeur, the Wilmette manager, re- signed from the team. Art Braun has J been elected to take his place. Braun is well versed in baseball, having played behind the bat for a number of years. He belonged the an army nine while serving with Uncle Sam. His election will undoubtedly prove popular with the players who at present are in high spirits owing to their prolonged winning streak which does not seem in danger of being broken soon providing, of course, that the players put up the same brand of ball that they have been displaying recently. Batteries--Wilmette, Borre and Robinson; C. & N. W., Wilson and McIntosh. TWO WEEKS' TRAINING AT CAMP ROOSEVELT board. The deficit in the cost is be- ing made up by a committee of pa- triotic Chicago citizens who are in- terested in military training for boys during the school ages. The second two weeks' period of the camp is just now beginning and new cadets are being enrolled. Ex- ecutive headquarters at 21 North La Salle street, the outside enrollment is constantly ) increasing. The camp will continue until enter at any time for a stay of two weeks or longer. The person who doesn't save goes without worth-while and will go without them tomorrow. The person who saves has everything he needs today, and will have still more Stamps. Chicago, report that September 1 and cadets can things today, tomorrow. SHOWS GOOD RESULTS | More than fifteen hundred boys | from all parts of the country, includ- | ing many from the north shore, are | enrolled at Camp Roosevelt, the mili- | | tary-physical training encampment on Lake Michigan near Muskegon, Mich. The first two weeks' period of training has conclusively demon- strated the practical nature of the plan of training, for the boys who shambled into camp a fortnight ago have been transformed into well drilled, well disciplined boys with the snappy, military appearance of over- seas 'veterans. In addition to their military training, the boys have also received a thorough course in phys- ical training and some two hundred have also been busily engaged in high school subjects at the summer school which is being conducted in connec- tion with the camp. Camp Roosevelt is the first camp of its kind in America. It was estab- lished by the Chicago board of edu- cation, with the sanction and ap- proval of the war department, as a field training point for the boys who are taking military work as a part of their high school course. The out- side demand was so great, however, that the original plan was broadened, making Camp Roosevelt an all-Am- erican establishment. The Camp Roosevelters are kept busy from reveille to taps with a pro- gram which is a happy combination of military drill, physical exercise and recreative pastime. Strict mili- tary discipline prevails and every minute of each boy's time is fully accounted for. There is no truancy. Captain F. L. Beals, commanding officer in the military department of the Chicago schools, is commandant of the camp and he has as assistants some fifty officers, physical directors and high school instructors. Under this organization, the camp runs with the smoothness of a regular army es- tablishment. The health of the cadets at Camp Roosevelt is fully safeguarded and no accidents have occurred during the progress of the camp, thus far. Camp Roosevelt is not a profit- making institution. Each cadet pays $1 per day for military and physical instruction, housing, equipment and The Pil Guaranteed Religious Freedom Here in America you don't have to accept any creed you don't believe in--our Pilgrim fathers established freedom of religious be- lief.

TWO-HOUR SERVICE WHERE REQUIRED SHAMROCK PRODUCTS CO. J 0 LET ROITE Ry - Note How Everyone It Has Become a Familiar Car On Nearly Every Highway Hails the Essex Essex owners report the satisfaction they ex- perience at the way people speak of their cars. It increases their pride of ownership. Motorists and even boys on the street hail the Essex with some such greeting as "There is an Essex." Curiosity in the car that possesses quality and performance at moderate cost and without the expense and weight of such cars as formerly were the only ones that possessed those ad- vantages, has given way to openly voiced ad- miration. Essex Owners Are Its Salesmen At first it was what people who had seen the Essex said about it that led to its popularity. Now owners--and there are thousands of them --are endorsing it on every hand. People stop Essex owners to inquire about their car. The answer is unanimous. When asked as to its performance they make no reservations. Ad- miration of its riding qualities is never lacking. Every wanted quality in an automobile seems to have been met in the Essex. Ask the first Essex owner you meet. Essex Performance Is Always Mentioned There is no uncertainty to the owner as to Essex performance. Drivers know positively that their cars will meet any acceleration or endur- ance test they impose. They know they can match the performance of whatever car they encounter. There are now enough Essex cars on the road to permit you to note their performance. They are always in the lead when quick acceleration is desireable. They hold their own on the road against cars regarded as the fastest. They keep going and require little attention. The repair shop is no place to learn about the Essex for it has little need to know the repair- man. Won't you make some inquiry about the Es- sex? You will find it interesting and convincing.
