Thei - vUitlna' tiiam nrno aaaijy tKo Koaf Kjl]l club that has appeared here thus far this season and, while it's no disgrace; to lose to a teasn of this sslibre, the? McHenry boys should be ashamed of the article of ball they put up on this occasion, after making such a good showing the Sunday previous. Had MaBenry played the game that they ape capable of playing and should have played, the game would have de­ veloped into one of the prettiest ex­ hibitions of the season, but they didn't. We feel sorry for our little flinger, Sahlsberg, who pitched a splendid game, but was forced to take defeat in spite of his excellent work on the slab. B<8 struck oat twenty of the opposing batsmen and *?ith good support would have carried home the bacon, which he richly deserved. Ten large, juioy «nw, most of which were inexcusable, were made by the local lads and we dare say that a bunch of six-year-olds could not have put up a more miserable exhibition of the popular sport than did the famous trio of McHenry outfielders. All of our fielders were given comparatively easy chances during the afternoon and every one of them proved disastrous for the home club, as all .were muffed. This clearly evidences lack of practice and we suggest that the manager en­ force his rules regarding the weekly practice. The visitor*, in order to catch that five o'clock train south, did not go to bat in the eighth and ninth innings and it's probably lucky for McHenry that they didn't, as it probably would have added several more scores to the visitors' side and a hat-full of errors for the locals. Up until the fifth inning the game was a pretty one to watch, but from that time until the close of the contest the fans were given a long, tiresome pain thru McHenry's bum ball play* ing. The Lake Zurich bunch scored their first run in the second inning, the tally coming as the result of two hits, be­ tween which was sandwiched McHen­ ry's first mistake. The real fireworks opened up in the fifth. After the first two men had been retired in this inning, Aebischer let Lorenzon's fly get away from him, Harris, the next man up, planted one right into Behlke's gloves, which any "school kid could have held onto, but our centerfielder let it drop. These two errors gave the visitors their sec­ ond run of the day. Is the seventh oar catcher had his name entered in the raisplay column when he opened the gateway for an­ other tally by missing Emory Brand­ ing's third strike, a hit, sacrifice and error by Bobby Knox letting the two runners in.' Then came that pain-giving seventh inning, when the visitors busted up McHenry's entire works. The first man up was given life at first when Brailsford failed to cling to the third strike, Five hits, several stolen bases and an error brought in five runs, which gave the Lake Zurich heroes a total of nine and enough to win. McHenry's first, run came in the fifth inning. Freund singled and went to second on Aebisher's single. Brails- ford sent out an infield fly and was safe at first, while Freund was nipped at third. Aebischer was a moment later caught at second. Gibbs shot one thru short, on which our catcher scored. We gathered in another run in the sixth frame. Page was safe when Schaeffer missed his grounder. Huck fanned and Knox singled, Page scor­ ing. Behlke sacrificed and Freund struck out. McHenry's last two tallies came in the ninth after two were dead. Freund was safe on an error by short. Freund stole second and came home on Aebischer's single, Aebischer taking second on the throw-in. Brailsford shot one thru Schaeffer, on which Aebischer scored. Gibbs ended the doings by fanning.

Wheeler was throwa open to .the members of the Social Wheel and a few invited guests, and to say that the ladies enjoyed them- selves would be putting it mildly, for the guests were so cordially welcomed by the ladies of the house that not a cloud marred the pleasure of this most- delightful social gathering/ A spelling contestas one of the pritocin&i fea­ tures of the afternoon, Miss MabeJ Granger receiving the prize for being the bast speller. The house was taste­ fully decorated with Sowers of all kinds, and our able secretary, Miss Mabelle Wheeler, and her sister, Mrs James Sayler, served us with a deli cious lunch. Tho favors were in keep­ ing with the seasoa, a tiny rosebud being given each lady. At the close of the entertainment we were favored with a solo by Mrs. J. C. Holly, our popular choir leader, with Mrs. J. W. Smith accompanying her on the piano. This was truly enjoyed by all and closed one of the most pleasant affairs yet enjoyed by our society. Our next regular meeting will be held June 21 with Mrs. Alice Hutaoo. PBBSH>PNT.
