2 WINNETKA TALK May 3, 1928 WINNETKA AND GLENCOE MEET IN SEASON OPENER Ancient Rivals to Pry Lid Off of Local Baseball Season Here Sunday By Sockm Harde The Winnetka diamondeers wound up preliminary training this week and tomorrow, Sunday, will venture into their first game of the season. Glencoe, the selected foe for the locals, has also made preliminary prep- arations for the tilt, thus making this traditional baseball feud all the more interesting. With both outfits well re-enforced this season by several new ° local luminaries, the battle promises to be as hotly contested as in previous years. A glance at this year's line-up dis- closes that the Winnetka battery will be something for the Glencoe glove- men to conjure with, this Sunday. Panosh, new ad- dition to the lo- cal hurling staff, is a capable twir- ler who has everything a ca- nable mounds- man should have and then some, including a for- midable group of sluggers to face. Tigging Panosh to bigger and bet- ter efforts will be "Bill" Carey. backstop deluxe, who combines some hitting talent with his catching and oratorical proclivities. Despite the prospect of having to contend with some illusive flinging offerings from Panosh, the Glencoe aggregation is placing a great deal of faith in the work of a trio of prominent stick wielders to garner a sufficient number of tallies to keep the battle interesting. Hoklfelder, M. Rudolph, and Bill Schroeder are the cognomens under which Glencoe's plate triumvirate la- bor, and despite the monicker handi- cap, the trio is capable of prodigious results at the plate. However, the counter profits of the Glencoe nine will be lessened this week by the work of Winnetka's gar- deners and infielders. Carl Mellick, the classy first base- man of last year's winning team, will again cavort about his favorite sack. Mellick is a flashy infielder, and is one of the best seen on the local dia- mond in many years. Jimmie Miller and Al Izard, the latter a new-comer, will guard the other sacks, second and third, respec- tively. Johnnie Lyudholm is another ball player deserving of the monicker "classy," for Johnnie is all of that, as he can also toe-hold and sock the "apple." Glencoe Making Threats In the outfield, Fid Runnfeldt will again roam about in left, Jack Woods or Pete Luchessi will snag any flies from the bats of the heavy hitters of Glencoe, in center, and George Ru- dolph will duplicate in right. Glencoe, as yet, has not announced its battery for this week's game, but Bill Schroeder states that he will have a combination that will curtail the run-making tendencies of the Win- netka athletes. Harry P. Clarke, who recently has become interested in the Winnetka ball team, will, from now on, until his departure in the early summer, act as manager for the boys. The game, to be played at the Skokie Playfield, will be called at 3 o'clock Pe M, Fid. Runnfeldt "Baby Dolls" Entertain Here These are the Saxon Sisters, "The Two Baby Dolls," who do harmony singing and dancing. They are coming to Winnetka, Monday evening, May 14, where they have been engaged to give several numbers on the program being arranged for the annual dinner and dance by the Chamber of Com- merce. It will be at Community House. ; Local Legionnaires Schedule Meeting for Monday, May 7 At the next meeting of Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, Mon- day evening, May 7, the plan under consideration for the Post to purchase two lots with space for sixteen graves at Memorial Park cemetery, and to erect thereon a suitable memorial, will be considered. Winnetka post is frequently called upon, in emergency cases, to aid in providing burial place for departed Legion members, and this appropriately designated spot at Memorial, it is felt by many, would be a fitting mark of esteem and at the same time a real act of service. The Post, on Monday evening, will also discuss plans for the observance of Memorial day, the committee on which is Harold Snell, chairman, and Past Commanders J. M. Dickinson, Jr.. and Thomas J. Lynch. Chairman Arthur Gedge reports that he has plans for the observance of Poppy day well underway. The Post hopes to sell 4,500 poppies this sea- son. WINS HIGH HONORS Ralph S. .Johansen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Johansen, 158 Bertling lane, who is now a freshman at the Univer- sity of Illinois, was recently awarded the University General Excellence Military Bar in the R. O. T. C. units. He is also a member of the varsity rifle team and recently won the freshman athletic meet, with first place in four events, and second, fourth, and fifth places in other events, for which he will receive a silver loving cup. Rev. T. A. Goodwin Bases Sermon on Current Novel "Shoddy," the recent novel by Dan Brummitt, will be the theme of the sermon by the Rev. T. A. Goodwin at the Vesper Service next Sunday in the Congregational church. "About once in two years," said Mr. Goodwin, "a novel appears which is worthy of serious consideration from the pulpit. This is such a book. The author has not only written an in- teresting and convincing piece of fic- tion, but he has portrayed the strength and the weakness of the modern ec- clesiastical organizations in such a way as to make every serious-minded church member want to examine him- self and his own denomination to see whether the machinery is a hindrance or a help to the real spirit of the church. "This novel is as superior to 'Elmer Gantry' as it is different from it. The author is not merely concerned with exposing weaknesses, but has construc- tive purposes. There is no sneer in his writing like such as we find in most critics of the church; at the same time he is fearless and has an un- deniable familiarity with the {acts Observe Membership Sun. at Congregational Church The first Sunday in May is desig- nated as annual membership Sunday at Winnetka Congregational church, at which time not only the young people's class of the Church school is admitted to membership in the church, but it is also an occasion when many others are taken in. The members of the young people's class which joined last year, will act as escort to the class this year, RED HARNESS FOR DOGS MAY CHASE THE RABIES Trustee Walter A. Strong Ter- minates Council Discussion With Novel Suggestion Should fashion decree that Win- netka dogs which have been immun- ized against the disease of rabies don some sort of a bright colored harness, preferably red, before being permitted to appear on the streets of the village, it is felt by some that the many can- ines whose owners have not complied with the regulations pertaining to im- munization of their pets would feel so disgraced that they would absolutely refuse to leave their home premises. Furthermore, the wearing of the proposed red harness by immunized dogs, would enable the police to quick- ly detect the other animals, which, it is felt, dangerous to be at large, and by being empounded would further aid in stamping out the threatened epi- demic of rabies. This doggone question occupied more than thirty minutes of the ses- sion of the Winnetka Village council Tuesday evening. Past proclamations by President Henry F. Tenney that dogs be either muzzled, immunized or shut up, at home, have failed of results, it was pointed out. New cases of rabies keep showing up, and the council agreed with Pres- ident Tenney that more drastic mea- sures should be taken, but what shall they be? The whole matter was finally left with President Tenney, who is to con- fer with Chief of Police W. M. Peter- son, to devise some plan. Chief Peterson has some well de- fined opinions of his own on the sub- ject. He feels that it is a matter on which all the villages of the north shore should unite, in the adoption of uniform, drastic regulations, if it is really desired to check the epidemic. In Glencoe, for instance, a procla- mation has gone forth, that, for a per- iod of thirty days, no dogs will be permitted on the streets unless re- strained at the end of a leash. President Tenney, during the dis- cussion Tuesday evening, said there are 900 licensed canines in Winnetka, in addition to the 'stray dogs, and that the latter constitute the real menace. Trustee Doris Benson wanted to know about how many 'stray dogs there are, but the otherwise complete statistical files on dogs does not re- veal this fact. Trustee Walter A. Strong gave co- lor to the discussion by suggesting that all dogs be compelled, when ap- pearing on the streets, to wear some sort of a red harness, or collar, a sug- gestion which brought back from the land of nod an obviously bored collec- tion of spectators. Trustee H. L. Raclin recommended that in the future, owners desiring dog licenses be required to show a certifi- cate that the dog had been inoculated.
