» ad September 29, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 57 A BASEBALL FAVORITE Runnfeldt's Clouting and Fielding Kept Winnetka Ball Team on Top in Many Games Just at a time when the Winnetka baseball team should have been win- ning games and taking possession of the coveted New Trier township championship, the club hit a slump and was forced to | accept four defeats | in a row. Throughout all this, "Fid" Runn- feldt carried more than his share of the burden in at- tempting to put the RE---- scrappy nine back on its feet. The "Fid" Runnfeldt stocky little left- fielder shifted from seventh place in the batting order to the clean-up po- sition. His heavy clouting aided ma- terially in putting the locals back in the fracas many times when the boys appeared to be out of the picture. "Fid" not only pounded the ball with a vengeance, but also performed in stellar fashion on the defensive. Often he dashed deep into left field territory and brought down liners that were ticketed as extra base wallops. | Women Voters News Mrs. William G. Hibbard as chair- man of the program committee for the state convention of the Illinois League of Women Voters is busy completing the program details.
