8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATU RDAY, AUGUST 28, 1920 WILMETTE WINNERIN | TOWNSHIP PRIZE GAME Absence of Glencoe's Star Hurler Brings Defeat to Champions of North Shore League Struggling bravely but vainly with- out the services of their star pitcher, Wilson, Glencoe, with Bob Clavey on the mound, submitted to defeat at the Wilmette baseball field on New Trier Day by a 6 to 2 count. Although minus their premier hurl- er the Glencoe lads never gave up the ghost until Stickens grounded to Borre for the last putout in the ninth inning. Erratic fielding in the first three ininngs coupled with the poor condition of the Wilmette outfield allowed the Wilmette nine to score four runs with another added in the sixth and seventh. Glencoe had several opportunities to score in the first innings but Bor- re always tightened in the pinches and held them safely. In the third inning he fanned two of the pro- spective north shore league champ- ions when runners occupied the sec- ond and third stations. Count In Seventh It wasn't until the seventh when the losers counted their first run with the second marker arriving in the last stanza. The Wilmette players deserved to win the contest as they played bang- up baseball for the entire contest. Braun at first, Rennolds at second and Barrows in left field were the fielding stars of the winning aggre- gation. Their hitting was timely and but for a small amount of loose brainwork on the bases the score would probably have been more one- sided. Borre Star Hurler Borre outpitched Clavey at every turn except the strike-out route where the Glencoe player led with four victims. Borre was very effect- ive with men on the bases and aided by sterling support held the Glencoe- ites in check for seven of the nine innings. The star play of the day came in the fifth inning when Culver, Glencoe third baseman, ran to the foul line in short left field and caught a foul fly with his back to the playing field. In the seventh with men on first and second and two outs Rennolds of Wilmette drove what looked like a sure hit to right center. Stockel, the second baseman, however, leaped into the air and brought down the ball amidst the plaudits of the fans. Only one accident marred the game. In the seventh inning with Wil- mette at bat and a man on third base and one down Barrows hit a fly to short left field. Both Schroeder, the shortstop, and Beck, the left fielder, ran for the catch. Just as Beck caught the ball the shortstop crashed into him full speed, strik- ing him on the chin with his head. Beck suffered a cut chin while sev- p-- The Sure Sign of a Good Painter 'When your painter recommends and uses Hockaday's INTERIO the washable paint for all interior surfaces The Hockaday System or aay : < INTERIO THE Washag 1 waLL FINISH Th Hockapay Company CHICAGO You can be sure he is giving you the most paint for your money, use INTERIO covers 309%, more surface and requires no priming or sizing.

Beck and Schroeder both finished the game.

CARS HIT SAFETY ISLANDS; WOMAN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL Both north and south safety is- lands at Kenilworth avenue and Sheridan road, Kenilworth, present a considerable wreck as the result of two mishaps in the traffic in the past ten days. Several days ago the south safety island was struck by a large car and practically demolished. Early Tuesday morning a car driven by H. L. Wells of Rogers Park, Chicago, crashed head-on into the north island. This time the machine got the worst of the impact. The car was overturned 'and Mrs. W. E. Wells, an occupant, injured so seriously it was found necessary to take her to the Evanston hospital.

It has given them a chance to sce a lot more of their husbands. u But it has done a great deal more than that. It has brought people closer together, given them new interests, swept away old prejudices. What affects one man now generally affects a good many of his neighbors in the same way. And they have a better chance to get together and talk things over. m It's had its effect on the tire business. When automobiles were new people were willing to buy any kind of a tire. Now they're beginning to insist on knowing what they are getting. And the more they insist, the better it wik be for us. wv We want our customers to know what they are getting. That's why we represent U. S. Tires--so there will be no doubt about it. Whatever the size of your car, you know that the U. S. Tire you put on it is the bes# kind of tire its makers know how to make. U. S. Tires are guaranteed for life, without any Limi- tation of mileage. That ought to mean somee thing to the man who has thought about tires. United States Tires ~ © WINNETKA GARAGE AND AUTO LIVERY ~ W. P. MELZER ' H. C.
