A fine program is being arranged for the occasion. The Johnsburg baseball team suffered their season's first defeat at the hands of Fox Lake on the latter** grounds last Sunday afternoon, the score being 7 to 3. Johnsburg played a very poor offensive game, which accounts for their defeat, while the victors put up the best article of ball that they have played this year. As a result of the contest considerable money exchanged hands and as might easily be expected it was Johnsburg's money that remained in the pockets of the summer resorters. In spite *bf its defeat, the home team still feels that they are just as good if not better than the Fox Lake outfit and they hope to be able' to demonstrate this fact before the season comes to a close. , .
