~v "a July 9, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Winnetka Breaks Even in Holiday Baseball Affrays In the two games over the Fourth of July, the Winnetka managed to break even, winning the Sunday encounter with Northbrook 15 to 6, and dropping the Monday tilt to Glencoe 11 to 7. In the Northbrook game the locals had everything their own way after the fourth inning. Until that time the visitors put up a stubborn battle, only to be overwhelmed with base hits and runs in the last of the game. The Northbrook men came to town still boasting about their two wins over the locals last year. In fact they were so confident that their hurling ace was left to sit on the bench in order that he might be ready to pitch against Glenview on the following day. With this in mind Winnetka set out to do or die. In the fifth inning the break came, and by the time the third out had been made not only had North- brook"s ace seen service on the mound but also every available hurler on the Northbrook team. Among the features of the game was a triple by Jim Ford with the bases loaded in the fifth. Bill Woods dupli- cated Ford's feat in the eighth inning. "Toady" Thomas, in the fifth, also managed to share a few honors by gathering three singles in three trips to the plate. By winning from North- brook the locals stretched their win- ning streak to four straight, it being Baseball team | broken, however, by | lowing day. At Glencoe, on the morning of the Fourth, the Winnetkans seemed to be off their usual form, and suffered ac- cordingly. Heinsen .started on the mound for Winnetka, but his pitching |was ineffective and Glencoe nicked the pan seven times in the first two innings. At this juncture "Wes" Car- ley was rushed to the hillock to stem the Glencoe tide. With one down and two on and four runs across in the second, Carey stepped to the mound, immediately striking out Hessler and Schroeder, the two heavy hitters of the Glencoe team. Carey, who had pitched a four hit game the day before while laboring under the colors of a Chicago team, was really in no fit condition to hurl. He stuck to his job, however, until the last of the eighth, allowing but two hits and no runs to score during his presence on the slab. Pete Luchessi finished the game for Winnetka and did a good job. After Heinsen, plus a few bobbles afield, had allowed seven runs to score in the first two innings, the locals stag- ed an uphill battle. Scoring runs in the first, fourth and seventh, they managed to knot the count, but, when Carey faded from the slab in the eighth, Glencoe managed to put across the winning markers. For this Sunday's game Manager Flynn has scheduled the Wyandott A.C's champions of the west suburbs. This game will further test the mettle of the Winnetka boys and will also give the fans a chance to view a real ball team. Game time is 3 o'clock.

George Lusk, after receiving his M. A. degree at the University of Chicago several years ago, attended Prague university on a scholarship from the Minister of Education of Czecho-Slo- vakia. At this time he received his Ph. D. and was given a scholarship for another year. The following year he attended art school, Academe Andre Lhote, in Paris, where he enjoyed the most enjoyable period of his study abroad. Though his principal aim throughout his work has been to study art, and to direct his efforts toward painting, he did not fail to take advantage of the opportunity to study both the social and political conditions in the Euro- pean countries which he has visited. shore violinist, has re: | Felix Hostnick Purchases .
