GS lL i August 27, 1927 WINNETKA TALK PLAYFIELD IN MIDST OF PRIZE TOURNEYS Play Qualifying Rounds in Cham- pionship Event at Community Course The Invitation tournament for men at Skokie Playfield Thursday of last week got under such headway during the one day originally alloted for the event that it became necessary to con- tinue a part of the scheduled play to a later date. That was made necessary by the close competition in the morning low gross event, for members, in which Jack MacFadzean and Phillip Runn- -feldt tied for first place with a score of 72. 'The tie was played off the fol- lowing Saturday, when they again tied on 18 holes with a score of 77 and in the five additional hole play Runnfeldt won by one stroke. Championship Play Today Much interest is centering upon the 18-hole qualifying round club cham- pionship to be played at Skokie Play- field today and tomorrow. Thirty-two are to qualify for the championship flight. Matches are to be played from scratch. In the third round, Park board cup 18-hole handicap tournament last Sat- urday, Elmer Nelson and John Bel- mont tied. The score was still a tie at the end of the second eighteen holes, but in the third 18-hole round, Nelson won, 5-4. In the 18-hole medal play, with prize for both low gross and low net, last Saturday and Sunday, there were sixty- eight players. For low net, the follow- ing tied with 66: M. J. Loeb, C. H. Kreger, J. E. Bradstreet, William King and W. G. Taylor. In the draw, Loeb was first and King second. John Bel- mont won low gross with 68, while Oscar Fossum, Fred Stoddard and Ernest Belmont tied with 71 for second place, Stoddard winning in the draw. Flag Tournament Tuesday, August 30, will be the date of the Flag tournament. This is Wom- an's day, and Mrs. C. B. Cook, chair- man of the Women's tournament com- mittee, urges all players to come out.

Masked Fireman Battles Fumes in Freight Depot A gas mask and a gallon of soda was the equipment with which a member of the Winnetka Fire department armed himself in response to an early morn- ing call, Thursday, from the freight depot of the North Shore line, at Elm street and Lincoln avenue. Neither water nor chemicals were needed, but a gallon of soda sprinkled over a quantity of acid of some sort which had been spilled from a con- tainer which was being handled in the freight room, quickly killed the deadly fumes. It was impossible to enter the place without having first donned the gas mask, with which the fire depart- ment is equipped. : Winnetka Y ouths Win Distinction at C.M.T.C. Rally Grand Visitors' day at the C. M. T.| camp at Fort Sheridan, brought hun- dreds of interested and enthusiastic visi- tors to inspect the camp, and watch the 1,900 boys as they marched with their colors, behind the band, keeping step to the stirring music of the military band. The parade began at 9:45 a. m., following the arrival of Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Vice-President of the United States, and guest of honor. Ninteen cannon shots saluted the Vice- President upon his arrival in the fort. General Dawes was immediately taken to the filed where he and Briga- dier General Lenihan, commander of the Fort, reviewed the troops of sol- diers-in-the-training. Over two hun- dred medals and awards were then pre- sented by the Vice-President. These awards were presented for baseball, swimming, football, volley ball, citizen- ship, etc. Later the troops passed in review, then returned to their tents and company streets where they were again reviewed by Dawes and Lenihan, who entered the tents on an inspection tour. General Dawes, who dressed formally and wore a high silk hat, impressed the lads tremendously. Before noon mess six north shore boys had their pictures taken with the generals. John Swabacher and Gerald VanDoren were Winnetka boys in the group. The afternoon was devoted to an exhibition of military maneuvers, fol= lowed by a display of fireworks, and an exhibit of .a smoke screen. The cavalry then gave a fine display of horsemanship, and the infantry ex- hibited a sham battle. The whole camp was thrown open to visitors who enjoyed inspecting the hundreds of tents in the nine company streets. The whole day was one of interest and enjoyment to the visitors, and will be remembered by the boys as long as they live. Promptness of Firemen Prevents Blast in Home "Service" is the motto of the Win- netka Fire department as demonstrated at the home of N. B. Bederman, 425 Birch street, Sunday. The Bederman family had gone to Chicago, when, upon their arrival there, Mrs. Bederman re- called that she had left the burner lighted under the hot-water tank. She telephoned to Chief G. M. Houren, who with his men went to the house, rained an entrance by a ladder placed against a second-story window and turned off the gas just in the nick of time. The hot-water tank was filled with steam, to the point of exploding. The steam was permitted to escape through opened faucets. Winnetka Campers Enjoy Very Own Winnetka Day Four Winnetka families, away from home for the summer, celebrated their own Winnetka day recently on the beach of the sand dunes of Lake Ham- lin. Ludington, Mich. Those having part in the celebration were the Paul Hutchinsons of 1028 Cherry street, the Harry Clarkes of 978 Snruce street, the George Gordons of 874 Lincoln avenue, and Dr. and Mrs. J. W. F. Davies. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke returned recent- Iv from Cambridge, where Mr. Clarke had been teaching in the Harvard sum- mer school. They are spending three weeks with the Davies family at Indian Hill camp on Lake Hamlin. HEARING ON PAVING An informal public hearing on the matter of paving Center street will he held bv the Village council, at the Vil- lage hall. Tuesdav evening, September 13 at 8 o'clock. The next regular meet- ing of the village council will be held September 6. Judge Ryner Hauls in Year's Biggest Muskie Judge Ira Ryner, 1415 Hill street, Wilmette, has achieved distinction other than that attaching to his au- gust position on the Circuit bench, the newest laurels having been at- tained in the role of angler extra- ordinary. Here's how it all came about. The judge, while fishing more or less leisurely near the Jack Pine cottage at Big St. Germaine Lake, Wis., hooked a muskellunge, weight; 41 p ds, di 51 inches long and 23 inches in circumference. You're right, it's the biggest muskie to be hauled out of a Wis- consin lake this season. What's a mere trifle being a judge compared to such a performance, eh what ? Judge Ryner will have the big fel- low properly taxidermitized and presented as Exhibit "A" for one and all to behold. And--by the way, it took the judge just twenty minutes to land the seasom's champion. Local Officials to Attend Parley on City Affairs H. F. Tenney, president of the Vil- lage council and H. IL. Woolhiser vil- lage manager, of Winnetka, will attend the district conference of the Illinois Municipal league at Waukegan, Friday, September 2. Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, Senator Charles S. Deneen, Mayor William Hale Thompson and many other prominent public men are to be there. The American Legion Posts of Waukegan and Chicago are preparing to stage a great parade in which it is estimated that more than six thousand people will participate and in which there will be a thousand or more beautifully decorated floats. The Winnetka officials are in receipt of a special invitation to this affair from L. J. Yager, mayor of Waukegan, and they have signified their intention of attending. Inebriated Motorists Draw Heavy Penalties Carl Magnuson, of 7351 Champlain avenue, and Gerhard Bochlund, of 7311 St. Lawrence avenue, Chicago, were arrested August 14, by Officer Dudley Everett. The former was charged with driving a car while in- toxicated, which charge was changed to drunk and disorderly on which he was fined $100 and costs, Saturday of last week, by R. E. Sinsheimer, jus- tice of the peace. Bochlund drew a fine of $25 and costs, on a charge of intoxication. Rev. A. E. Rohrbach to Return to North Shore The Rev. A. E.

LEGION HOSTS OFF FOR ANNUAL REUNION State Convention Held Simult- taneously With Annual 33rd Division Reminisence Fete When the annual convention of the American Legion, Department of 11- linois, and the first annual reunion of the 33rd Division convenes for a two days' session in Joliet, beginning next Monday, it will witness Winnetka well represented, down on the front seat and prepared to entet with its usual enthusiasm into all business and fun which has been prepared for this great gathering of "Buddies." Winnetka Post No. 10 will send a delegation of official representatives in addition to a number of members who are going down for the benefit and pleasure which they obtain from at- tending these conventions. The post members who served with the 33rd are all "rarin to go," and in the special car being prepared for the journey they have reserved a seat for William M. Peterson, Winnetka chief of police. Chief will accompany the Thirty-third divisioners as a body guard. In the Thirty-third division car, appropriately decorated with the in- signia of hte regiment, the flag, and a small mounted cannon, will be William Merrill, Thomas J. Lynch, Bob Doepel and U. C. Abel. Send Two Delegates The official delegates from Winnetka post are William H. King, Jr. and My- ron T. Harshaw. The alternate dele- gates are Dr. Frank W. Blatchord and Max Murdock. Others from Win- netka who are going are, Clarence Schaefgen, Marshall Knox, Howard Carpenter, Dr. Frank Woods. A. Lee Adams, Ed Howell, John R. Reilly, E. R. Lewis and J. M. Dickinson. Head- auarters for the Winnetka delegation will be at the Woodruff hotel. The departure of the Thirty-third division quartet early Monday morn- ing will be accompanied by the hoom- ing of the cannon which they will have mounted on their special car, and their entrance into Joliet will be announced in a similar manner With the Winnetka chief of police and his reputation as a "dead shot" and that of the 33rd division bovs as "fightin scamps," it is confidently ex- pected that when they drive into the convention city, the keys of Joliet will be handed over to them without further ceremony. : Thomas J. Lynch was a sergeant in the 123rd Heavy Field Artillery, and cannons were their playthings over in France. That is the reason they are taking one with them on this, their first reunion. Notable Representation Abel Davis will carry the 13lst In- fantry flag and Bob Doepel will rep- resent the 108th Engineers, in which he was an officer in charge of the en- eineers who threw the bridge across the Meuse river at the Meuse-Argonne front, that memorable event in which the bridge was blown up ten times be- fore the enemy consented to let the determined "Yank" Infantry across. William Merrill will represent the 108th Field hospital in which he did great service as stretcher bearer and ambulance driver in the thickest of the fray over in France. : There will be so much on which to reminisce during the two days allotted to this, their first reunion, that the time will prove only too short, it is feared. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Young of 708 Prospect avenue have returned from a western trip of five weeks. They first attended the tournament held in Seattle by the Western Golf associa- tion, of which Mr. Young is president. They spent the rest of the time in Victoria, and Vancouver, and returned through the Canadian Rockies.
