tract of 12 acres, the former Reed

for the new school.
Elgin school district No. 23 re

from Valsetz company, largely
through the efforts and interest

constructed and opened last year,
the problem of improving the re

temporarily to the future.
This spring when the . school
board sought means of grading
the site for a new athletic field,

record is 6-2, lost a bid 'for the
40th shutout of his; career when
Reno Bertoia hit a two-run homer

The victory, coupled with the
Baltimore Orioles' 3-0 decision
over the Cleveland Indians, gave
the White Sox a three-point hold
