The locals celebrated their first shut­ out of the season at the West Side ball grounds last Sunday afternoon, when they handed their Hebron friends nine large goose eggs in as many innings. The day was far from an ideal one for baseball, which accounts for the conspicuousness of the error columns on both sides. The errors of the visitors utuiv at me UIUDI urtuuw eutgeo ui me game, while the local's mishaps occurred mostly when the counting station was beyond danger. The story of the game is something like this: First inning:--Croton grounds to Waite and is thrown out at first; Stew­ art meets his death by grounding to Znelsdorf, who easily retired the bats­ man at the initial sack; Sm^th struck out No runs. For McHenry, Waite started the inning by flying out to Leedle, Beents went out via Stewart to P. Peterson; Bending was hit by a pitched ball and was advanced to the third corner on Roseman's single; all hopes for- scoring were wiped out when Heiiuer wen* out thru the 8tewart-P. Peterson method. No runs. Second inning:--Leedle opened this round by cutting three large gashes in 13 the atmosphere; P. Peterson put a stinging grounder thru Bending and was safe at first; the base runner then made a pretty theft of the center bag. 1 G. Francisco flew out to Kranse in the I center garden and the visitor's half of i the inning came to a close when Hop­ kins gave Reents an easy grounder, the latter slipping the horsehide to Heimer in ample time to cut off the runner. No rnns. P. Peterson for the Blues opened up the last half of the second round by fanning; Znelsdorf was safe when Stewart forgot to pinch his hot grounder; Znelsdorf stole second and third, the throw from the catcher to the third sacker, in his attempt to nail the burglar, being wide the runner came home. Kranse fanned and Knox lined out a pretty single, but was caught try­ ing to "smuggle" second. One run- Third inning:--F. Francisco canght one of Bending's benders and straight­ ened it out for a neat single; he stole second and rested there while W. Peter­ son and Croton fanned, the round end­ ing when Stewart put one down to Beents, who threw him out at first in splendid style. No runs. Waite for the Blaes went out via Croton to P. Peter- son. Beents made three vicious swings at the sphere and retired to the green lawn; Bending waited long enoug]| to see four wide ones pass by and went to first, he stole second but remained there; Bossman fanned. No runs. Fourth inning:--This is the round in which the visitors had a beautiful chance to score, but poor judgment by the base rnnners prevented. Smith, the first man np, was given free transporta­ tion to the initial sack. Leedle flew out to Boesman; P. Peterson was there with a single which, under ordinary circum­ stances, would advance a base runer two stations, but Smith's grey matter was not in working order and he remained at second. To make conditions still more favorable for the visitors Waite missed Bending's throw when G. Fran­ cisco grounded to the fleet little flinger and again all hands were safe, Smith clinging to the third sack where, thru real baseball playing, he should have registered the first run of the day for his side. This was all that Bending could stand for and with all three corners occupied by the enemy he show­ ed his real colors by retiring the next two men upon strikes. No runs. Heimer started the last half of the fonrth by flying out to Stewart. P.' Peterson sent a fast grounder through : snort, on which he took second; he went | to third on a passed ball by the catcher | and came home on Zuelsdorf's two bag- <er. Znelsdorf started to steal third but Smith saw him and sent the sphere to the third basemen to head him off, but, sorry to say, onr friend, F. Fran­ cisco, let the throw get away from him and Znelsdorf scampered across the rubber with the second counter for the inning. Kranse was safe on a grounder to the first baseman, who failed to get iiis "mitts" on it; he stole second while Knox was being passed to first on four wide ones. The base runners were ad­ vanced a peg thru the courtesy of Croton, who made a wild pitch at this time. Waite was out on a grounder to P, Peterson and the round came to an end when Beents struck out. Two runs. Fifth inning:--Botnour, who had taken W. Peterson's place in the right garden, opened up the proceedings with a nifty bingle and a moment later stole second. Croton flew out to Knox; Stew­ art was safe when his grounder got away from Znelsdorf, the error also allowing Botnonr to advance to third. Stewart stole second. In an attempt to make a home run Smith flew out to Bending and Leedle struck out. No runs. Two more runs were gathered in during the local's half of this inning. Bending put a grounder thru the happy short-stop and immediately stole second; a wild pitch during a period while Boss- man and Heimer were fanning the ab­ let him go on to third. P. Peterson leaned on the pill for a clean single, scoring Bending. Peterson stole second while Znelsdorf was handed a pass to first. Kranse sent a stinging liner thru the pitcher on which P. Peterson scored, Znelsdorf going to second. At this stage of the game one of the oldest tricks known to the game was sprung on Zuelsdorf. Stewart bad the ball neatly tucked under his arm when Zuelsdorf calmly walked off the second bag for a lead on the pitcher. Stewart put the ball on the runner and the running was over. A hearty laugh. Two runs. Sixth inning:--P. Peterson went on ria Bending to Heimqr; G. Francisoo gaye L. Peterson, who had taken Waite *s -place at third, a grounder, but the fielder fumbled the ball just long enongh to let the batter arrive at first in safety.' The runner stole second but was forced;- to remain there as the next two batters struck out. And still no rnns. For the Bines Knox flew out to Leedle; L. Pet­ erson's third strike was a wide one and he was safe at first, but was canght try­ ing to steal the center station. Beents drew a base oa balls, stole second and third and came home when a throw from Leedle to the third baseman, to catch the base runner, went wild. Bending grounded out to the man w&o held down the initial sack. One run, Savanth innimr:--Rotnnnr struck nnfc. Croton sent a grounder to Beents, the latter fielding the ball perfectly, but the throw to first being a trifle wide, the runner was safe. Stewart sent a short fly to Bossman, who gathered it in in trne champion style and doubled Croton at first. No runs. Bossman struck out. Heimer was safe at first when G. Francisco let his easy fly slip thru his fingers; Heimer was canght stealing second. P. Peterson was hit by a pitched ball and took first; he stole second, but that was as far as he could •get as Zuelsdorf 's fly to G. Francisoo closed the inning. No runs. Eighth inning:--Smith -struck out. Leedle sent a grounder! to Beents, but Heimer let the latter's throw fall from his mitt; runner s&fe. The next two men flew out to Bending. No runs. Kranse flew out to Stewart. Knox struck out and L. Peterson came to bis death by groundtng to F. Francisco, who easily retired the rnnner as ialao the side. No rnns. * Ninth inning:--Hopkins struck out F. Francisco flew ont to Krause and Botnonr ended the game by flying out to Bending. No runs. THE SCO BE. McHENRY BLUES.

' , Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful- pn ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis­ eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is* not uncom­ mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesli, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the paSSa^e> It IS yci auiicLcu witu ucu-wct- ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi­ culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased eondition of the kidneys and bladder and not to- a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser­ able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swan|J»»Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fift^- cent and one-dollar size bottles. Yon may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a Borne of Swamp-Root pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testi­ monial letters Sfeceived from sufferers cured.
