RED SKINS SCALPED M'HENRY SHUT OUT ALGONQUIN 1 AT CRYSTAL LAKE DAVISON HAS EDGE ON WILLIAMS IN PITCHER'S BATTLEEACH ALLOW FIVE HITS The McHenry Grays and Algonquin Indians hooked up in their season's first encounter at the Crystal Lake bail park last Saturday morning, the local nine returning home the victors after one of the closest and hardest fights they had been called upon to stage thus far this season. The final score was 2 to 0. •» The contest developed into a real pitchers' battle with Jess Davison working in great shape for the winners while Williams was slinging the kind of ball which ordinarily wins. Each team connected safely five times. However, Da vision saw to it that the Indians did not bunch their blow? while Williams yielded to three shots in the fourth which netted our side one marker. The Indians threatened our defense on several occasions, however. The most serious of these developed in the seventh inning when with three men ion the traveling paths and only one of the Red Skins put away, things surely did look bad for us. And right here is where Davision once more displayed his real pitching worth by keeping that old pill away from the danger line and yet causing the opposing batsmen to offer. This splendid work on the part of our port sider caused the next two batsmen to pop up to Rossiter and thus end a round which caused McHenry supporters to spend a very uncomfortable few moments. Fast plays and some unusually clever fielding stunts were contributed to the afternoon's pastime by athletes of both teams and te say the very least the big crowd of fans who were on hand to cheer their respective favorities on to victory were more than repaid for turning out. The story of the game by innings: FIRST INNING: Kosier and Gross Were both thrown out by Williams. Tornquist struck out. No hits, no runs. ALGONQUIN: Jelenek and Ginners both out via Gross to Rossiter. Kern nailed Schaffer. No hits. No runs. SECOND INNING: Kern Btruck out. Rossiter lifted to Ginners and Rogers fanned. No hits, no runs. ALGONQUIN: Heyke walked and took second on Vitt's single to left. Faunt made it possible for the two runners to move up a station with a sacrifice, Davison to Rossiter. Michalick lifted to Rossiter and Griesbaum was thrown out by Tornquist. The latter made a very nice play of the ball. Heyke, who was on his way to third on the rap, shot across in front of Tornquist as the ball was traveling down the short field. Tornquist fielded the pill perfectly and made a fine throw to get his man. One hit, no runs. THIRD INNING: Williams displayed his best wares in this round by striking out Repas, Kingsley and Kosier. However, he walked Davison. No hits, no runs. ALGONQUIN: Williams fanned. Jelenek lifted to Repas and Ginners lifted to Kern. The latter traveled back quite a distance to pull down the blow. No hits, no runs. FOURTH INNING: Gross shot a single thru the pitcher's box and stole second. He then scored when Tornquist planted a single into right. Kern placed Tornquist on second with a single to center. Rossiter forced Tornquist at third by grounding to Ginners at short. Rogers popped to Heyke. Three hits, one run. ALGONQUIN: Schaffer filed to Tornquist. Heyke was thrown out by Davison and Kern nailed Vitt. No hits, no runs. FIFTH INNING: Repas out, Michalek to Hyke. Kingsley finned.

Michalek shot a two-ply smash over the third base sack and was advanced to third on Griesbaum's out, Kern to Rossiter. Williams'was thrown out by Davison. Onto hit, no runs. SIXTH INNING: Kosier and Gross lifted to Schaffer in left and Tornquist gle into short right, Vitt stopping at second. Griesbaum was safe and the other two men moved up a base on Gross' fumble. With the bases loaded and only one out, it looked bad for McHenry. However, right then Davison bore down with all his, might and with the perfect control which was his at the time, he managed to keep that old ball low and on the inside. As a result Williams and Jelenek both popped to Rossiter. One hit, no runs. EIGHTH INNING: Davison was thrown out by Michalek. Kosier walked. Gross started the Indians into action for a lightning double play by bouncing down to Michalek. Jelenek and Heyke completed the double. No hits, no runs. ALGONQUIN: GinMrs lifted to Repas. Schaffer was safe on Kern's error. Heyke rolled to Rossiter, Schaffer going to second on the play. Vitt was thrown out by Tornquist. No hits, no runs.\ NINTH INNING: Tornquist lifted to Faunt in right. Kern was thrown out by Michalek. Rossiter placed a single between short and second Rogers was thrown out by Michalek. One hit, no runs. ALGONQUIN: Faunt singled to right and was forced at second *when Michalek rolled to Gross. Kingley tried to get Michalek going to second but made a bum peg, the ball rolling out to center field. Michalek went all the way to third on the error. Griesbaum and Williams both fanned.

PEOPLE X •J;.;.- June 1 to 7,1925, has been designated "'Better Mailing Week" when a nation- wide campaign will be undertaken to reduce the appalling loss occasioned by carelessness in addressing mail. Do you know: That 21,000,000 letters went to the dead letter office last year? That 803,000 parcels did likewise? That 100,000 letters go into the mail yearly in perfectly blank envelopes? That $56,000 in cash is removed annually from misdirected envelopes ? That $12,000 in checks, drafts, and money orders never reach intended owners? That Uncle Sam collects $92,000 a year in postage for the return of mail sent to the dead-letter office? That it costs Uncle Sam $1,740,000 yearly to look up addresses on misdirected mail? • That 200,000,000 letters are given that service, and TTiat it coats in one city alon $500 .daily? Do You Know That this vast sum could be saved and the dead-letter office abolished if each piece of mail carried ar eturn address, and if each parcel were wrapped in stout paper and tied with strong cord? MORAL: Every man knows his own address if not that of his correspondent. Put It In The Upper Left-Hand Corner! "Nixies" cost Uncle Sam $2,000,000 a year. That's a lot of money. What is a "Nixie" A "Nixie" is a piece of mail so carelessly addressed and poorly wropped, that it can neither be delivered nor returned without special treatment costing $2,000,000 a year. The Dead Letter Office is the Cemetery of Live Ideas Entombed in misdirected envelops. JO,000,000 letters go there yearly.

The Marengo library board has purchased a site, east of the post office building in that city, and will ®tnt day erect a library building thereon. The Dehydration corporation, incorporated in Maryland, has purchased the old Anhydrous food products factory in North Chicago for a consideration of $47,000. A community picnic, to bind the farmers and merchants of Woodstock in a closer bond of fellowship, will be held at the fair grounds at the county seat on Thursday, June 11. After thirty-two years of ctatin uous service as a letter carrier in Elgin, N. Marshall Groce left the postal service last Friday. He has been placed on the pension list. A class of forty-five young people will graduate from the Harvard community high school on Friday evening, June 12, twenty-four young women and twenty-one young men.

He was taken to the Victory MCfttoHsI hospital at Waukegan. On Wednesday morning of laAt week fire broke out in the building occupied by the Perfect Bakery at Crystal Lake. The fire was a stubborn one and started in a register. Before it could be extinguished much damage was done to the building as well as the bakery equipment. : The Woodstock Athletic club is a new organization formed to sponsor amateur athletics in that city. Members of the club have obtained the former Moose lodge rooms for'their meeting place. Tramps are believed to have been < responsible for the fire which destroyed the ice house of the Elgin Ice St Beverage company, just north of the Kimball street bridge in Elgin, last' Thursday afternoon.

Work will be started immediately. George Havens, an employee at the Borden Milk plant at Marengo, narrowly escaped being killeS in the plant on a recent morning when the separator blew ,,up. Mr. Havens was quite severely injured about the head, arms and body by flying pieces of the machine. He was, however, able to shut off the power before being rushed to a local doctor. That he was not killed outright seems a miracle. A Reo sedan, owned and driven by Verne O'Neil of Grayslake overturned in a ditch near Antioch one night recently and burned up. He, with a c6t&- pany of relatives, was on his way to his home town when the accident hap- . The steering wheel locked and he was unable to control the which plunged into a ditch and tipped The occupants escaped uninjured tho badly frightened and shaken up. Sending a child to the store without telling him what you want is no more foolish than mailing a letter without a acomplete address. Everyone knows his owtt address, If not that of his correspondent. A return address on each piece of mail „would put the Dead Letter ofltofe out of business. Let us in McHenry help to do this! N. F. . •.
