The traditional Farm Advisers-IAA

 the skyscraper in Chicago, 8 to 3. 



The climax of the Sports Festival 

 came during the Friday afternoon pro- 

 gram with the playoff of a number of 

 colorful final events, the crowning of 

 the Queen of Sport and the introduc- 

 tion of her court of six, and the presen- 

 tation of tke trophies by Queen Beatrice 

 Mayer and Sports Festival committee 

 chairman Otto Steffey. 



Contestants from several counties 

 were surprised at the final standings 

 by districts because some counties which 

 appeared weak in the sports division 

 amassed enough points in the folk festi- 

 val to give them stronger standing. It 

 should be borne in mind that points in 

 both divisions have equal value. The

fact that only one-third of the counties 

 take part in the folk festival gives many 

 of the counties weaker in the sports 

 division a chance to score heavily in 

 the folk festival division. You score 

 points by just taking part. Remember 

 that when you get ready for next year's 

 Sports Festival, the music festival points 

 count too, so plan to have entires in the 

 folk festival as well as the sports di- 

 vision next year. It pays off in points. 



Will Blasts Peoria 

 13-4 For State 

 Baseball Title 



WILL county blasted Peoria county 

 13 to 4 to win their second suc- 

 cessive Farm Bureau Baseball Cham- 

 pionship during the finals held at the 

 Sports Festival Aug. 26. 



Manager Bob Seeley's Joliet-area 

 team has won six of the last seven Farm 

 Bureau baseball titles. Will defeated 

 Montgomery in the opener 8-2, and 

 ripped through Tazewell, 17-2, in the 

 semi-finals before going on to the title. 



The game with Peoria was featured 

 by the hitting of McHugh, Drecksler, 

 and McQuarrie and the steady pitching 

 of Honsbruch. Hurler Horsbruch 

 fanned 11 Peorians and issued only 

 three passes. Catcher Shaw and Fielder 

 Allen hit well for the losers but ragged 

 fielding and tired pitching set the stage 

 for the rout. Box score:
