Woodstock High School's baseball ilk recently defeated the Belvidere High team; 12 to 7, at Belvidere in a game punctured with frequent passes and errors. The county seat school is one of the few in this section that still maintains a baseball team, Mc- Benry having gone sinee 1922. .; John Bolger recovered sufficiently jfrcm a sore foot received while bowling last week to show the Harvard lads he really can bowl.

The record to date was 10.6, held jointly by Simpson and Charles Paddock. A lad out on the Pacific coast was clocked at 10.4, but a strong wind was blowing so that no move will be taken to have the time fabde official. This week it was "Daw" JOslyn's torn to cop the five dollar prize for high score at the Palace alleys and he certainly did a y&ry good job of it by rolling three consecutive games of 246, 252 and 255 for a 753 series, the righest on record for this district. Too bad "Dave" couldn't have rolled this series in the A. B. C.'s and made Mine real money by doing so. of the artistic tennis players that frequents the high school,courts made a permanent display of his art by placing a hole in the dressing room •window that resembles very much a man's head wearing a straw helmet. It surely takes a very artistic player to put one over the backstop and thru the window without even trying to, design the pattern of the hole. Hebron Gun club will play host to twenty visiting teams this Thursday afternoon, when the members of the Vance Trapshooting League ta,ke possession of the traps at Hebron. The League is Composed of members from twenty towns in Northern' Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, who take turns entertaining the other members on their respective fields. This is the third meet of' the year. Aurora finally opened its racing Mason last Saturday and enjoyed a C*owd of 15,000 racing fjms. The meet was scheduled to open May 1, but was delayed for several days by the horse owners going on a strike for higher purses; thereby setting a new precedent, as this is the first strike of that nature to ever take 'place. The owners of the horses won the strike, but no report is given as to, how many horses starv^ t» death hi the meantime. Harry Morris, well known pro, who has presided at the McHenry Country club for the past four or five summers, has returned to his duties again this year. He reports that a very good turnout was on hand last Sunday despite the strong wind and many of them were outsiders, as the green fees record showed. The first round of the medal handicap tournament for the Owen cup took place on this day. Geneva High School won Mi Invitation track meet at Batavia last Saturday by amassing 36 points while its nearest competitor, East High of Aurora, was collecting 30, Elgin took fourth with 19 points, being nosed out by one point by the Batavia squad. Crystal Lake somehow became mixed up with the Kane county schools and managed to bring home five points, which all goes to show that Kane county has some real tracks talent, as Crystal Lake recently romped away with a triangular meet with Dundee and McHenry. POLLY PRIM BOUTS A good crowd attended the weekly Wednesday night card of seven bouts at the Polly Prim A. C. this week and were amply repaid for their trouble by Promoter Huck, who had a good night's entertaintaent in store for them. \ Amalorie of Crystal Lake proved that he is always a dangerous man when he smote Steve Salzes one on the jaw, after one minute and 29 seconds of the second round had been punched away. Prior to this time Steve had the best of the melee, but this Crystal Lake boy has one terrible wallop in that haymaker of his. Young Mullins of Deerfield wasn't quite as agreeable to being knockedout as his namesake "Moon" of Willard origin and Bert VanDusen went down to defeat in three rounds, which went to the Lake county lad from Deerfield. Van Dusen, who hails from Batavia appears to be going stale and of late not quite living up to his rep. Bob Jurrens of Deerfield and Eddie Peddle of Lake Forest went three rounds to a draw, but this plucky yaung Peddler rode through to a close decision victory in the fourth. Another four round bout took place when Chas. Zohnalies, Deerfield, and Sammie Aifin lock charge of the ring. Zohnalies found an opening under the heart just in time to realize a draw in regulation time and then kept peppering away at this same spot to take the Polly Prim colors into camp. That red hair of this Schneider lad from Waukegan again shone throughout a victorious march in which Earl Vermylier of Aurora was taken into camp. This Schneider seems to have all the fellows afraid to box him so the usual slugging match took place but Red managed to use enough science to make the Aurora scrapper bow in defeat. Jim McGrew of Crystal Lake and Clyde Goodrich put on a comic duo that proved very entertaining until Referee Bennett had suggested they mix a little. Then Goodrich started in imd was so aggressive that the fight had to be stopped when the Laker could no longer resist his attentions. Goodrich was credited with a techical knockout after one minute action in round two. -*•" The windup was a substitution match as two of the men didn't show up and Joey Pitts took the measure of Leo Filtges of Morton Grove. These boys seemed to know, each other well enough to stay out of reach at first but after Leo stuck in a few sharp ones this scrappy Joey came back strong and a real fight was soon in progress. Many blows were missed which would have spelled disaster but when the third round concluded Joey Pitts was returned the winner. Evergreens Found In Warm and Cold Zones An evergreen is a tree which stays green all winter--that is to say, the leaves <lo not fall In autumn, as do the leaves of deciduous trees. Many evergreens are conifers (cone-l>earing trees), but not all conifers are evergreens. The larch Is a conifer, but Is not ah evergreen. Spruce Is a familiar evergreen, it was so named because it was first known as a native of Prussia-- French "prnsse" and middle English "pruse" or "spruce." Spruce is an old name for Prussia. Fir is aa old word, long In the language, always used for the tree; pine is Latin, alto the name of the tree which it designate* today. The hemlock has also been long Ln the language. There are evergreens which are aot trees. Almost all tropical plants, botanically speaking, are evergreens The holly is an Interesting northers evergreen, much used for decoration purposes at Christmas. The rhododendron la an srefgreen shrub. Its name, according to Webster's New International dictionary, conies from Greek words meaning literally "rose tree." It was so named because of its large flowers. Other evergreens of the north include certain varieties of the cedar, ivy, laurel, etc. The words are all "old"--that is, they have been hi the language for centuries, often nearly in the forms we know today ,j»s the najnes of these plants «r plants. COUNTY LEAGUE OPENS SUNDAY Marengo WSJ1 Play the Jfllsttkari; May 12--Locals Defeated Silver Lake Next Sunday, May 12, eight teams swing into action to open the Mc Henry County baseball league with a bang. Johnsburg is to be invaded by the strong Marengo nine, one of those teams that always is to be fe&i* ed and which may give the upriver five, who are all primed with last Sunday's victory, the battle of their lives. There are nine teams in the league this year necessitating one club to remain idle each Sunday and Hebron is the odd one this time. The schedule for next Sunday, May 12. Marengo at Johnsburg. ' Ring-wood at Harvard. Algonquin at Woodstock. - Huntley at Union. Last Sunday the Johnsburg nine invaded the grass diamond of the Silver Lake team and smashed out a 6-3 victory over the Badgers. Ed Tonyaii pitched a very brilliant game, allowing but five hits and struck out fifteen. Sounds like Vance pitching against the Chicago Cubs. Johnsburg started out early In the game by gathering in four runs in the initial round on a hit batsman, an error, and three solid smacks, the finishing touch being furnished by Walter Smith with a double that drove in two rulfs. Hostilities again broke out in the fifth when two passes were followed by two hits to score three runs. Joe Frett this time furnished the needed punch. Ed Tonyan was master of the situation at all times except in the first and eighth innings and he struck out two men in each of these, so Silver Lake was lucky to score a run. Richards struck out but was given first, base as the catcher had tipped his bat with the glove. Schmalfeldt then tripled to score Richards, but died on the base when C. Richards struck out to end the round. In the eighth a hit batsman and two blows scored the last runs of the game and left the Frett Brothers' outfit in very good spirits for the league opener. Johnsburg this year should be able to give the best of them a run for their money as they have a well-balanced team. Ed Tonyan and Harold Freund are expected to furnish most of the pitching With Joe Freund, a "BIG TIM'S WIDOW MARRIED IN M HENRY Wedding Took Place In This City On Wednesday, May 1--Groom Is John O'Bertm ' Mrs. Florence Murphy, widow of "Big Tim" Murphy, former Chicago gangster, and John OUerta, Chicago florist, and a member of the lower house of the Illinois General Assembly, were married in this city by Rev. Fr. Charles Nix on Wednesday, May 1. Mrs. Murphy cave her age as 31 and O'Berta, 27. They were reported as making every possible effort to conceal their identity in applying for the marriage license at the county clerk's office at Woodstock, the bride listing herself as Miss Florence Murphy. However when the marriage papers were returned the bride was listed as being Mrs. Florence Murphy and widowed by death. Neither the bride nor groom could be located at their former hornet in Chicago following the ceremony and it was presumed they were away on a honeymoon trip. "Big Tim" Murphy was one of Chicago's most picturesque gangsters for many years and about one year ago was slain on the lawn of his home when he slipped out a side door to answer a ring of the front door bell one night. His murderer was never identified. Just why the couple chose McHenry as the place to be married is not known, but it's a certainty that our little city in the Fox River Valley is gaining plenty of notoriety these days in more ways than one. BLAKE--REINERT * NUPTIALS, ELGIN Miss Regina Blake Becomes Bride of Mr. John Reinert of Sooth Elgin Today At nine o'clock Thursday morning, May 9, a wedding service took place at St. Joseph's church, Elgin, that united in marriage Miss Regina Barbara Blake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Blake of McHenry, and Mr. John A. Reinert, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Reinert, of South Elgin. The nuptial mass was read by Rev. Fr. H. E. Ouimet in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends of the couple.

Central Park CENTRAL PAltK, intbe very heart , of New Tork City, Is Manhattan's chief and «most-spacious breathing space, and the most valuable parked area in the United States, About two snd one-^alf miles long (north by south) and*, approximately wne-haif ui»If wiur, Sj» comprises fWO acres of which one-half are wooded. and 28« in lakes and reservoirs. It has nine tulles of drives, 90 miles ot aud seats for about lO/JOO visitors. The present-day value of the land is almost Incomputable. There is a mall or spacious, shaded promenade, lined with statues, where travelers from many climes have shown themselves, but for the most l»art it ^presents a rtigged, pastoral and refreshingly natural effect--some 10,000 shrubs, 10,000 trees and fiO.'lOU smaller perennials having been recently added. Although the park is looked upon from all sides by great hotels, clubs, apartment buildings and homes of the wealthy, it has sections into which one can disappear and imagine himself amidst a fhr-away forest wilderness. Outstanding among its many attractions are two reservoirs, the largest covering 90 acres and holding a billion gallons of water, a natural cave, several charming lakes, a menagerie, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. an obelisk--Cleopatra's Needle --which was erected at Helinpolis, Egypt, about ir>00 B.
