Next Sunday afternoon the Johnsburg Baseball club will open the home season with the Woodstock team. The boys are this week putting in considerable practice in anticipation of a hard struggle with the county seaters and they expect to come out of their next combat with flying colors. Just now it looks as if Johnsburg will have to rely upon the Freund boys to do the pitching, altho the management is scouting around and may be able to pick up a good flinger before the season has gone very far. A big crowd is expected at Sunday's game. That the management of the Johnsburg Baseball club is desirous of bringing some good teams here*this season is seen by the fact that only then best amateur aggregations in these parts are now being booked. The strong Lake Geneva, Wis., outfit will follow the Woodstock team here and a return game has also been booked with the State Liners. No doubt, before the season has advanced very far we will also be given a chance at McHenry, our most bitter rivals on the baseball diamond.. These two teams never fail to attract a big crowd and this year should be no exception to the rule. The Johnsburg baseball team opened their season at the Richmond-Genoa Junction baseball field, where they met and were defeated by the State Liners last Sunday afternoon, the final score being 13 to 12. Fred Freund started to do the pitching for our boys, but proved a bit wild. He was relieved bjr Frank Freund. This being the first game in which our boys have participated this year, the members of the team do not have to feel ashamed of the showing made. In fact, the fans are very much pleased over the form displayed by the local players and everyone is pulling for the Johnsburg team to come thru with a stronger outfit |han ever before. Sunday's game was marked by considerable hitting, numerous errors and indifferent pitching. 1 R1NGWOOD rl v Mt. aad % Fmmd at Me- Gold Medal flour at Wilbuife < J Henry, Men's quality work and drees shoes j Mr. and Mrs. George Rauen and Mr. at Erickson's store. j and Mrs. William Justen and daugh- Miss Anna Waterman of Woodstock ter, Kathleen, of Ringwood sp^nt Sunis visiting friends around town. j day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. «Mrs. S.
