COLLEGIANS H&T HAVE Set: «S* «ANHE|c :i 'is;j Artife'lUVWo" "WWW* ***** Witt* AeVENKV DMN CONTEST IN NINTH INNING-WAS Q(N»UME Well, well, well, what do you know about, it? A team representing the city of Elgin finally slipped one over the MeHenry ^>ys. We refer to last Sunday's contest between MeHenry 'and the Elgin Collegians. It was only thru McHenry's great generosity that the visitors were de­ clared the winners. The game should have been a shut-out, sleek and clean, but it wasn't. Six errors by the home team, nearly all of which came at critical stages, account for McHenry's defeat and El­ gin's victory. It was certainly a hard game to lose. It looked like the locals were a bit over-anxious to^ win and this probably accounts for their numer­ ous misplays. Elgin came here with the reputation of having defeated every other amateur team in their home town. MeHenry realized that they hod to play ball to win and, as before stated, their over- anxiety got the best of 'em, with the result that the contest went to the vis­ itors. The Collegians played an exception­ ally strong, defensive game and. while they did dot show very strong at bat, they displayed their baseball knowl­ edge by taking advantage of every opening presented them. While they are credited with only five hits, they scored in two innings and had our little flinger in a bad hole in three other rounds. While Elgin scored in the third and the last rounds, Koob was in trouble in the fourth, fifth and seventh innings. Fast work by the team behind him saved him in each of the three innings mentioned. The Collegians scored their first pair of tallies in the third round after two were dead and it was all at the ex­ pense of Gibbs at first. After Bauman and Clark had been disposed of in easy fashion, Lewis rolled one down to Bobby Knox. Gibbs dropped Knox^lr[ght, boys) the fans will surely give throw and the runner was safe. Moore followed this up with a double to cen­ ter, the hit sending Lewis to third. Parker's grounder went thru Bobby Knox and the two runners scored. Cook struck out. From this time until the ninth ̂ in­ ning there wasn't a thing doing in the score line for Elgin. With the score 4 to 2 against them, the Elgin lads went in in the ninth to win and this they did.. Clark, the first man up, dropped a single in left field, Lewis went out Knox to Gibbs, Clark taking second. Moore shot one down to Huck, who played for the man going to third but missed. Costello, who had taken Parker's place in center, was now at bat. Koob had the batter struck out, but Brailsford let the third strike get away from him. Not only this, but he also made a bad peg to first, the errer allowing Clark and Moore to score. Cook went out via Knox to Gibbs, Cos­ tello taking second. Holden shot a single to center, the hit scoring Cos­ tello. Wahl drew a pass, while Bat- term an met his death bfy giving Koob an easy grounder. MeHenry scored three runs in the third and one in the seventh. They also threatened to score in the fifth and sixth. In the third stanza Gibbs given life at first when Holden made a mess of his grounder. Huck shot one down to short, who doubled Gibbs at second. Page shot one down to Holden. Holden's throw got away from Moore at first and the runner was safe, Huck taking second on the error. Knox struck out. Aebischer sent a long fly to center, which Parker, after a hard run, missed, the error allowing both base runners to scamper across the counting station, Aebischer going on to second. Koob singled, the hit scoring Aebischer. Behlke ended the round by sending a long fly to Parker. Page opened the seventh session by dumping One a few feet in front of the home plate. The pitcher, in his at­ tempt to get the runner, made a wild peg, Page going on to Second. Page is credited with a scratch hit, as he had the throw beaten by a second or more. Knox went out vih Holden to Moore. Aebischer met -d^ath thru Cook and Moore. Koob singled to left, Page scoring. Behlke doubled to center, Koob taking third. Bunk­ er's grounder was smothered by 'Bau­ man, which act ended the round. Me­ Henry never had a chance to sows in the eighth and ninth. The tabulated score follows: ' WEI RUN EVERY MY W Tffi WEEK McHENRY m Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake LEAWHG At KM A. %•AHD 2:W t.X ",V'*/" 50C •M •Special... Excursion to the Dance at Mertes' Hotel leaving MeHenry at 8:00 p. m. sharp you credit for your good behavior. Knox's stop of Wahl's hot grounder in the eighth was easily the best piece of work of the day. Moore came very near taking Behl­ ke off his feet with his line drive in the seventh. MeHenry is credited with eleven hits, eight of which were wasted. \ Wahl, who played left field for El­ gin, certainly performed well, getting three put-outs during the game. Two of these "were of the shoe-string vari­ ety. The Volo White Sox were defeated by the MeHenry Nationals last Sunday, the score being 26-10. Greenwood will play the Nationals next Sunday, Aug. 10 in the park. BATTING AVERAGES Koob - - - - • ± - .400 Gallaher... ...

The Harvard team is composed of some very good baseball material and thu^far this year they have made an excellent showing. The Harvard team defeated the Wood­ stock Athletics two weeks ago on the Woodstock grounds by the score of 6 to 13. Lanning, the Harvard pitcher, who is credited with being one of the best in the county, struck out seven­ teen men on^this occasion. MeHenry has not met a pitcher this season that they could not hit and the battle next Sunday should be a good one. Be there. BUILDING BEING REPAIRED The Buch building1, which was con­ siderably damaged by last Wednesday's fire, is being repaired, the carpenters going onto fche job Wednesday morn­ ing. J. J. Buch, the owner of the building, is overlooking the job and the building should be put back in its former condition within a short time. MORE ROWDYISM Maiiy of those who witnessed the play .At the Central opera house last Sunday evening declared that unless the ^rowdyism is stopped they will quit patronizing the place. One patron of the house was heard to remark "that it was a downright shame to pay your admission into the hall and then be prevented from enjoying the enter­ tainment thru loud talking, whistling, shouting and general disturbance." For the life of us we cannot see why this is tolerated for one moment. This same set of rowdies, teho are the cause of the disturbance, would not dare to behave in this manner in towns out­ side of MeHenry, and why they are allowed to publicly display their ig­ norance in this manner is beyond our comprehension. HARNESS SHOP MOVES E. L. Behlke, the West Side harness- maker, has moved his shop to the building recently vacated by Mrs. Alice Welsh. The building is being enl arged and otherwise improved to make it adaptable for the harness business th^t is now being carried on therein. The old meat market building,' thus vacat­ ed by the harness shop, will ^soon house the West Side restaurant that is being conducted by Mrs. E. L. Behlke. The restaurant is now located in the Schies- sle building, one door east of the North­ western Hotel. TRADE PROPERTY A Mrs. Sarah Dermont and Mrs. J. H. Spaulding have traded houses, Mrs. Dermont getting the Spaulding build­ ing on the West Side, while Mrs. Spaulding comes into possession of a modern home at the county seat, which Mrs. Dermont took in part payment at the time she disposed of* her hotel property. Mrs. Spaulding expects to move to the county seat the latter part of this or the fore part of next week, where she* will make her future home. BARRINCTON GIRLS HERE The Girls' Sewing Circle of Barring- ton are occupying the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Perkins during their ab­ sence. There are fourteen of them and they intend to get all the enjoy­ ment to be had in a river town while they are here. \ P- A. §QJ BLANDER 'Phone 584# v/ - s > WeSt MeHenry • ,f 2.
