LAST NIGHT--OCR PLATERS LOOXOfPD Split Even at W«f4itMk Both the girls' and boys1 basket ball teams of the MoHenry high school journeyed over to the county seat last Friday evening, where they met the high school teams of that city, the girls losing to their sturdy opponents by the, score of 4 to 1, while the boys succeeded in trimming their opponents to the tune of 23 to 18. The games were played in Wood­ stock's new armory and, in spite of the fact that the result of the game comes very near to deciding the county cham­ pionship, the crowd was small for a city the size of Woodstock. However, McHenry takes off its hat to the coun­ ty seat players and fans for the excel­ lent treatment accorded them on this occasion. The jfirls' game was close and quite exciting thruout. From those who went over to take in ,the contest we learn that they played their very best game of the season, but unfortunately had bad luck in shooting baskets, which accounts for the serial lo ess of the score. However, they put up a fight to the end and, as the score plain­ ly indicates, they kept their opponents' score well down. Altho they hated like sin to lose the game, the girls are not discouraged. They feel that the hoodoo which has followed them during the past three weeks has just about outworn itself and that their next game will be played for a win* The line-ups and scores follow: McHenry (1) Woodstock (4) M. Bonslett R. F. Stamets S" J. Owen C. Smith M. Barbian R. G. Getchel A. Wentworth L. G. McCo^nel V. Wentworth Sub Jayne Field throws--Getchel, 1; Jayne, 1. Free throws--M. Bonslett, 1. Fouls-- McHenry, 7; Woodstock, & The boys put up one of the fastest exhibitions they have played this sea­ son, the first half being'especially fast. In this manner they got the jump on their rivals for the county champion­ ship and when once in the lead they were not to be overcome and the prides of the Woodstock high school were forced to take the sting of defeat right in their very home lair. Woodstock and McHenry met at the local gymnasium on the evening of January 8, at which time the"game went to McHenry by the score of 22 to 18. The following week one of the county seat papers came out saying that the home boys got just what they had expected, sort of intimating that they were given a raw deal here. In writing up the game the composer spoke sort of jokingly about the small- ness of our gymnasium and in a man­ ner belittled our new school addition. With all these things still fresh in mind the McHenry five went to Wood­ stock last Friday evening with a stern determination to show the county* seaters that the playing field didn't make a particle of difference with their playing and judging from the result of the game the Woodstock players must be willing to admit that McHenry is just a trifle the better team. Every man on our side was in the pink of condition for the contest and' that they took advantage of every opening will be vouched for by those who saw the battle. Woodstock had but one excuse to offer at the close of the contest, this being that they were not in shape and that they had tough luck in shooting baskets. The real truth of the matter is that our boys were too fast for them and for this reason they could not get the ball away in time to make the throws. The scores follow: McHenry (23) Woodstock (18) F. Bonslett R. F. Sherburne Petesch L. F. Marum Miller C. 1 Schuett G. Bacon R. G. Stafford Richardson L. G. Zoia L. Bacon, Justen Clll. E.

Fouls--Wood­ stock, 5; McHenry, 8. Harvard Praraa Eaay The McHenry highs played their first game of the McHenry county tournament at the Crystal Lake gym- nasim on Tuesday evening of this week when they defeated Harvard quite handily, the score being 44 to 11. Mc­ Henry played its usual strong game and at no time during the entire con­ test did their opponents have an ink­ ling of a chance to get away with the honors of the evening. Cryttil Laka Ala* Gata Thati* One of the most downhearted crowds that ever left a basket ball floor at Crystal Lake went home after the game at the gymnasium last evening, when McHenry humbled the home boys in one of the classiest exhibitions of basket ball ever played in the coun­ ty. These two teams, up to last even­ ing, had a game apiece to their credit and one can easily imagine that both were out to win. Crystal Lake got the jump on the home boys and before one could realize that the contest was on our boys were trailing their opponents l»y seven or eight points. However, uiis didn't seem to dishearten our boys id the least, but forced them Go get right down to hard work, which they at once proceeded to do, sod within the next few minutes of play the CHAMPIONS OF McHENRY COUN­ TY were in the lead. The first half ended with the scortf standing 19 to 10* in McHenry'8 favor. McHenry kept their lead thruout the entire second half and by fast playing and excep­ tional guardiug kept their opponents at a safe distance, the final score end­ ing 28 to 30. When it came to the reai science of the game MoHenry had it all over Crystal Lake or any other team on the floor that evening and w e believe that our boys are very much deserving of their new title; Vit., COUNTY CHAMPIONS.

We would call particular attention to the new advertisement of the bank of McHenry, to be found in another place in this paper. They do a general banking business, loan money on real estate and other securities, and do a safe and reliable business, and in a business manner. It is an institu tion of whicn McHenry has just cause to feel proud. H. O. Thompson, who was formerly with R. A. Howard on the West Side, has purchased the market of Newcomb Bros., 443 West Randolph street, Chi­ cago, and moved with his family to that city. Mr. Thompson is a first-class butcher, an energetic business man, and his many friends in McHenry and vicinity wish him all manner of good luck and lots of shekels in his new enterprise. There was a narrow escape from a serious accident at the railroad crossing, near the pickle factory, on Thursday, morning last. A son of Mrs. Peter Smith, who was on his way to the Oat- man factory with milk, was run into by a freight train that was switch­ ing, smashing the wagon into kindling wood, spilling the milk, but fortunately not injuring the driver or team. It was a miracle how the boy escaped instant death. It was done so quickly he cannot tell how he got out himself. ADDITIONAL PERSONALS Mrs. John Heimer spent Wednesday at Elgin. T. J.
