This is especially true of the first i-uuau, when the home boys gath­ ered in ail of their runs. Saiiy, our smoke artist, informed the manager before the game that his salary wing was in anything but first- class condition and therefore was told to take things easy, as his mates would see him thru the contest. That the men behind him made good their prom­ ise, and then some, the score will plainly indicate. Naturally, there a» those who are now using that little word "if." If it hadn't been for that first inning the game would have been diffc;*cnl< There never was and there never w ill be a contest of the great national game played where that little word was not or willr not be applied and therefore we say McHenry won the game on its merits and is deserving of victory. The home bo/s were in the game from start to finish and one of the most pleasing features is the fact that they were up on their toes and accept­ ed every opening which was given them. While they failed to make good on several attempted plays, they dis­ played to the fans that they are in the game to win and are willing to make a try when the opportunity pre­ sents itself. It is for this reason that we consider McHenry's victory a McHenry County V \ s • \y-- LpKiiMiiiini yinii Far the proposition of issuing bonds to the amount of $7,#90 : Against the proposition of issuing bonds to * , amount of $7,000 -.

American Steel Posts are heavily zinc coated inside and out- ,»ide; they are not affected by fire, frost, moisture, lightning or any of the other causes that deteriorate the ordinary perish- lahle post. * They can be driven in ordinary soil, saving time and money.

Phone 'WOT"" We& McHexirs: 1 well earned one. Our boys, thru their daring as well as speedy base running, had the visitors bewildered and before they were able to get set eight rubners had crossed the rubber. After the first round Voss gathered up his team behind him and from that time to the end of the fray he pitched winning ball. In looking over our s^ore book we find that Elgin's downfall came Ln the following manner: First inning: Burgeson opened up with a long fly to right, which Page handled in a masterly way. Hitzman shot one down to "Bobby" Knox and was safe at first when our active little short stop fumbled the ball. Hynson sent the man ahead of him to the cen­ ter cushion when he straightened out one of Sahlberg's offerings for a single to left. Ross rolled one down to Com- iskey, who shot the pill to Warner at second, thus getting Hynson,. Hitzman taking third on the play. Boss stole second on the first ball pitched and Hameister drew a base on balls. With the bases loaded and two gone things took on a serious aspect. The agony subsided when Lehman lifted a short fly to Sahs at first. One hit, no runs. Knox took first after being struck with a pitched ball. Sahs was given the Same medicine. Brailsford sent a long fly to left which the man in that garden dropped, the error letting Knox score and Sahs take third, the batter going to second on the throw to the plate. Comiskey walked, filling the bases. Aebisoher fanned. Behlke rolled a fast one to Ross at third. Ross fumbled the ball and Sahs scored. Every man started to advance a peg on this bum play and this so bewildered the visiting players that the pig skin was heaved to every corner of the field in their attempt-to trap at least one of the enemy, this series of wild heaves allowing Brailsford and' Comiskey to score. Warner singled to left and Behlke was caught at the plate, War­ ner taking second on the throw-in. Page singled tq center, Warner segu­ ing. Page stole second and thijilt while Sahlberg was looking over four wide ones. Page came home on a passed ball. Sahlberg stole second and third and came home on a passed ball. Knox drew a base on balls and stole second. He went to third on the hit aud run signal, Sahs hitting to the pitch. Voss gathered in the groundet- in fine style, but Hameister dropped the throw, Knox scoring. Brailsford shot one down to Lehman, who tagged Sahs, and the side was retired. T^p hits, eight runs. Second inning: Kruse fanned. Hmti- son was taken care of by Sahlberg and Sahs. Voss singled ta cor.i / anS Bur­ geson gave Knox an easy fly. One hit, no runs. Hameister gathered in Coraiskey's •hort fly. Aebischer fanned. Behlke was passed and stole second. The base runner waa on his way to thind when Warner sent one down to Hynson at short. Behlke kept right on goiqg and waa nailed at the plate. No hits, no runs. Third inning: Aebischer squeezed Hitzman's fly. Hynson doubled to left. Boss struck out. Hameister doubled to right, the hit scoring Hynson. Leh­ man went out on a pop-up to Comiskey. Two hits, no runs Page was taken oare of by Ross and Hameister. Sahlberg was hit on the dome and went to first. He took sec ond on Knox's single to center. Sahs rolled a fast one down the first base line. Bobby forgot to get away from the sack and as a result a double play was pulled off by the visitors' first eacker. One hit, no runs. Fourth inning: Kruse's By fell into •the centerfield well, owned and con' trolled by one Aebischcr. Sahlberg and Sahs were given the sport of re­ tiring Hanson and Voss whiffed. No hits, ito runs. # Brailsford struck out. Comiskey was given life at first when Hameister ischer and Behllce fanned. No hits, no rnns. Fifth inning: Burgeson met his fate via Comiskey and Sahs. Aebischer forgot to place the lid over his well in center and as a result Hitzman's fly fell into same. Hynson went out. in the same, as did Burgeaon. No hits, no runs. * Warner died on a fly to center. Page was retired by Lehman and Hameister and Sahlherg went out via Voss and Hameister. No hits, no runs. Sixth inning: Ross beat out a pret­ ty infield bunt. Hameister succumbed on a fly to Knox. Behlke pinched Leh man's short fly to left and McHenry's artillery got the next man. One hit, no runs. Knox was safe at first on-an error by Lehman. Sahs sacrificed him to sec­ ond. Brailsford aingled to left and Knox was trapped at the plate, Brails­ ford taking second on the throw-in. Comiskey went to first on being hit by a pitched ball. The two base runners tried the double steal, but failed, Sahs being nipped at third. One hit, no runs. v Seventh inning: Hanson drew a peas. Voss sacrificed. Burgeson rolled one down to Knox, who got Hanson at third. Burgeson was caught stealing. No hits, no runs. Aebischer went out (» a roller to Hameister. Behlke flew out to Kruse. Warner was killed by Voss and Ham­ eister. No hits, no runs. Eighth inning: Hitzman struck out. Hynson was retired by Knox and Sahs. Boss singled to left. Hstoeister was cared for by Comiskey and Sahs. One hit, no runs. Page went out on a high foul to the visiting catcher. Sahlberg rolled a slow one between first and second. The first baseman gathered in the ball, but Lehman, who was cohering first, dropped the throw. Sally was caught at second. Knox waa safe at first on Hameister's error, but was caught stealing second. No hits, no runs. Ninth inning; Aebischer dropped Lehman's fly. Kruse and Hanson fanned. Voss was safe at first on Sal­ ly's error. Burgeson fanned. No hits, no runs. „ „ The score follows: .

To this end the anglers who fish in this stream are planning to enlist the interest of Representative F. W. Shepherd, fcharles Clyne and Senator Stewart of Kane county along the river in having the Fox and its stream lakes made a state reserve and thus preventing seining Altogether. The DesPlaines, Mazon, Kankakee and other rivers are already protected in this way. The Fox river is now the only stream in northern Illinois that is not a state reserve and is thus the only river that is being depleted of its fish by seining. The anglers feel that it is' up to them to preserve the fish of this river, the best bass tream in Illinois. If the river is made a game preserve it will be unlawful to fish in it with any device except the time .honored rod and line or a hand line find the sport of fishing in the Fox river may become a.permanent source of comfort to mmy of the followers of Isaac Wal­ ton.

This team comes to Mc­ Henry with an excellent reputation. In fact, it is the strongest, team that has been booked into this village since the days of the old McHenry Bines and every fan can rest assured of getting his money's worth on this occasion, Some of the fans have been after the manager of the local club to. book games with the better class teams and to satisfy them the manager has made the booking with the Ansons. This means a big expense to the home club, but if the game proves anything like a paying proposition the better teams will be booked exclusively in the fu­ ture, or as long as they may be made a paying proposition. The home club will present ius strongest lin'e-up and a rattling good game should be the re­ s u l t . G a m e c e i l e d a t 2 : 3 0 p . s h a r p . General admission, 25 ceata.
