PIONEERS WIN, GRAB PRIZES AT PICNIC Wallop Winnetka Triangles 11 to 9 in Feature Attraction of Annual New Trier Day at Winnetka The feature event of the New Trier Day and picnic was the ball game be- tween the New Trier Pioneers and the Winnetka team. It was a scrapay game from start to finish, with the crowd about equally divided in sym- pathy, and the life of the umpire was not a happy one. Winnetka started the ball rolling in the first when Deily slammed a two-bagger to center, took third on a passed ball, and scored on Botre's wild heave of Clavey's easy bounder. Hanselman Scores First In the second DeLong smashed a beauty into the crowd in deep left, and reached third, but was chased back to second because of a ground rule. Then Hanselman hit a liner to left and DeLong scored. In the third with a combination of three errors, three hits and two base on balls, the tribe from Gross Point scored six runs and put the game on ice, although they scored a run in each of the following innings. Strommel Fans Nine Phil StrommeJ^gathered in the $10 merchandise prize for the greatest number of strikf-outs, having nine to his credit, while Hanselman was credited with six. Walsh corralled the hat prize by topping the run getters, scoring three runs. Walsh made what was prob- ably the longest hit of the game. b>t the ground rules forced him back to second on a good clean three-bagger. The snappiest play of the day was Wallace's peg to second, catching Schroeder off the bag after DeLong struck out the second time. â€"The score: â€"-----â€"--------------------- New Trier- Wallacer 2b Dean cf ....

Hill. 1601 Forest avenue, will appear in Police Magistrate Mickey's court Monday mornng at 8 o'clock to expliain why his pet collie dog is permitted to run at large and unmuzzled in the village. According to the police Hill s col be Tuesday evening bit a member of the Richard A. Paddock household, 924 Linden avenue. Two weeks ago the same animal bit a child in the John H B/umbaugn family, 1612 Lake, ave- nue, and a child in the De Hay home at 1510 Lake avenue. The dog is said to be vicious and was. ordered tiel_jp^two_weeks ago by Health Commissioner___Moore. The home outfit was trailing by three runs when they went to bat in the eighth stanza, but in that frame they knocked in five runs xvliich was enough to bring them through on the long end.of the 7 to 5 score. The game was one of those that is told about in the papers. Norman started the hurling but was a trifle wild, issuing several ' free tickets which, combined with a misjudged fly which went for three sacks, *et in three, markers. Hank Miller was rushed to the mound at this point and from then on the Athletics did not see the ball. Hank showed them his entire repertoire of hooks, hops, whisker trimmers and beaners and in the eighth inning struck out the en- tire side. "This T)ig fellow has been going great guns in the K. C. league in which he hurls on Saturdays, which accounts for his being unable to twirl for- the home team more of- ten. However. Wilmette is trying hard to sign him up for next season rnd if Hank plavs with the home team then they will be a hard aggre- gation to trim, Estes in Hero Role Among the heroes for the day were Earl Estes tvho was back at his old station in cjlnter field, but it, was not at that point that he sparkled. It was at the p*ate where he contribut- ed a bingle in the pinch knocking in two markers. Spikes Robinson was also on the job as usual poling out a couple of clean hits.

SUMMERS IN WILMETTE Mrs. Rav M. Miller of Houston. Texas, will be the guest of Mr, and Mrs N. P. Miller, 1775 Washington avenue, for the rest of the summer. Ray M. Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs ^ p.

The sleep requirements of children must receive intelligent attention. The following suggestions are offered upon most excellent authorityâ€"that of the State Department of Health: 1. Medical authorities and others agree that school children need the following amount of sleep :, Age Hours Required 4 years.......................12 5 to 7 years.................11-12 8 to 11 years ...............10-11 12 to 14 years ........./......9-10 2r~Children growâ€"-mahtly-â€"while- sleeping or resting. Do you want your child to grow up stunted? 3. Tired J children learn slowly, make little progress in school and often drift to the bottom of the class. Do you want your children to grow up stupid? ... 4. When children go to bed late their sleep is often disturbed by dreams and they do- not get complete rest. Do you want your children to sleep badly and become nervous? 5. Sufficient sleep improves a child's conduct in his school and home^ife.â€"Insufficient sleep drags it backward and downward. Which do you want for your child? 6. Tiresome children are often only- tired children. Will you put the truth of this to a test? 7. Time spent out of bed means more wear and tear to children's clothing and shoes. Why not save such wear ami tear? . 8. A tired mother might get a quiet hour or two if the children were in bed by 6:30 •>. in. Why not take ad- vantage of this. â-  9. The fact that a neighbors child is sent to bed too late is not a good reason for sending your child to bed too late. Two wrongs do not make a right. 10. Going to bed late may become such a bad habit that it may become difficult to cure.
