Phillips, Wilmette's hurler, held the enemy to five scattered blows while his mates collected a total of eight safe drives. Last Sunday's game, played on the Winnetka Playfield diamond, attracted the largest crowd of spec~!ltors that ever witnessed a baseball tilt on the north shore. The Wilmette boys were backed by a huge delegation of local fans. Ja_n~tz led the local attack with two hits while Smith, Bermeister, Braun, Tagtmeier, Gregg, and Phillips garnered one apiece. This Sunday the same teams hook up on the Village Green lot west of the Howard school for the second engagement of the pennant race which at this writing finds Wilmette topping the list with one victory and no defeats; Winnetka second with two wins and one defeat .. and Glencoe third with no victories and two setbacks.
