THUNDERBOLTS WRECK YOUTH'S CAGE COURT When thunder-clouds get playful and start a basketball game all of their own, it's time for local athletes to get off the court. William Melbye, son of the well known Wilmette real estate man, has decided that the elements play entirely too rough a game for him. He refuses to play with those who shoot so hard that they smash his carefully installed goal when making a perfect "ringer." Down in the wooded lot on the cor- ner of Third street and Linden ave- nue, William had set up a goal to shoot at. It was a mighty good goal, nailed high on the trunk of a big tree. Then elements, evidently spying the well- made playground, started on a game of their own. Being rough fellows, they shook the trees around, made the ground shake and altogether played such a game as no referee would care to officiate. A particularly dusky cloud won the game, 2 to 0, by shooting a perfect basket in the last quarter. With a blinding flash of brilliant play, the big cloud sent a bolt of lightning square to the goal, smashed it to splinters and left slivers protruding in pinwheel fash- ion where the "ball" had struck. "Too rough for me!" says William. Miss Caroline Roberts of 760 Pros- pect avenue, has as her guest, Miss Jean Wallace of New Rochelle, N. Y. Miss Wallace and Miss Roberts are COMMODORE'S BOAT WINS HOLIDAY RACE Commodore Galloway's "The Star" proved to be the shining light in last Saturday's Independence Day yacht race at the Sheridan Shrie Yacht clth, Wilmette harber, coming in first in the third official race of the season. Gordon Jones' "Dawn," which has won the Saturday classic for the past two successive races had to be content with second place. Richard Mauri- son's "Wawa" breezed in third. Max Hayford"s "Kagerdie," Harold Fliiot's ~"Halsam" and". H, H. "Kerr Junier's "Debutante" finished in the order named. A craft entered by J. I. Twitchell did not finish the race, which was run over an eight mile triangular course. By virtue of his winning the race, Commodore Galloway has one point to his credit toward the permanent winning of the Commodore's cup. Commodore Galloway must win one of the other two "legs" which must be run off before the cup is permanently Won. The first dance of the season was held at the Sheridan Shore Yacht club last Friday evening. This is the first of a series of weekly dances which will be held every Friday night until Labor day when the final dance of the sea- son will be held at the club.
