WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1920 Se ir AAAS f Pair Santa: Phe: Make Mother Well" : Christmas morning this year will dawn bleak and gray for thousands of little kiddies, whose only Santa Claus will be the stalking spectre of Tuberculosis, ex- acting his toll of 150,000 lives this year in our country alone. .

LEAGUE Though defeated in two of three games Tuesday evening at the Lef- fingwell alleys in Evanston, members of the bowling team representing Ouilmette council in the North Shore Knights of Columbus Bowling league, felt exuberant over their exhibition. It is the first time in the history of the local council that a team has represented it in any bowling league. University, Columbus and Newman councils also belong to the organiza- tion and it was Newman that took the fall out of the local players. Assisted by three members of their "champ" team the Evanstonians romped -away with the first game finishing 67 pins in the lead. The | Ouilmette players came back strong, | in the second engagement, and de- feated the Newman bowlers by 110 pins. The third and final game was a "corker" and it looked like a OQuil- mette victory until the last three frames when the Newman rollers took advantage of a momentary lapse on the part of their opponents and captured the event in a great finish, with a score of 810 to 799.
