And now we have an umpire beaned With a 'pop bottle just because one of Ms mates made a bunt decision on a C$ose play. Put that one in the book.

In doing so the Prison City lads scraped together 33 points while their nearest competitor was Wheaton with 30 1-2; Elgin finished fifth with 18 1-2 counters. The new track at the high school is Bearing completion now that the cinders have been placed and rolled. A cerload of cinders was purchased in addition to those that were on hand #nd were rolled firmly in place by the *id of a tractor. This gives McHenry one of the nicest tracks of anyplace around here. McCracken and Willis scltfri to be holding down the doubles championship at the High School tennis courts but ere long some of these young Students are going to rise up and smite them down if they continue to improve as they have in the last few Weeks. Youth must have its way. Lee Kercher and his wife have left <911 their annual pilgrimage to the . Kentucky Derby which is to be run next Saturday. McHenry has' more "than its share of racing bugs, but Bbost of them confine their attedance to Aurora and Arlington, but Lee ttiinks there is nothing like the colorful crowd at the Derby. • Last Sunday afternoon bloomed warm and fair for the 1929 opening of the McHenry County Baseball Lcw^wv witnessed the p!«y of six of the nine teams. Huntley and Union had their game postponed due to wet grounds, and Hebron had drawn a bye for the day. Harvard took the measure of the nine from Ringwood 7-3; Woodstock trimmed Algonquin by the same score and Johnsburg succeeded in romping over Marengo 13 to 5. Vest Sunday's Schedule Union at Marengo. Harvard at Woodstock. Johnsburg at Algonquin. Woodstock at Hebron. Huntley idle. Marengo started off with a bang | when the first two men singled, but Pitcher Freund then settled down and struck out the side. He also retired the batter leading off in the second inning to give him four in a row. The home team' then came to bat and, after Joe Frett had been retired, scored three runs on three hits and a pass. From this time on they were never headed and soon had scored enough runs to take away the interest of the goodly crowd of fans that had turned out for the league opener. The visitors broke loose in the fifth and sixth innings to score all of their runs, getting three in the fifth when Harold Freund eased up a little and game them three hits and a pass. Errors accounted for the loser's runs in the sixth. The poor showing of the boys from the west end of the county may be easily attributed to the fact that four of their regulars are attending college, among them being their regular battery. It, was indeed fortunate that Johnsburg was matched against them so early in the Season though with their present aggregation they should give a good account of themselves against any other team in the circuit.

C.--A landscape gs£ den of such world wide fame that eacL spring It is visited by hundreds of pilgrims first came Into being at Middleton Place. Amid the culture and refinement of the Carolina province in 1741. One of the first landscape gardens in America, it was laid out by an English gardener on tbe bluffs that overlook the swiftly flowing Ashley river, surrounded by a vast forest Here, Henry Middleton made his home and erected Great House which was destined to play a large part In tbe affairs of the colony. Ten years were needed to complete the work of mapping tbe garden, but so successful was it that Middleton Place soon became famous even la the Old world. With smooth is was and countless exotic plants, * sunken garden and many lakes, it is beautiful at atl times, but when spring comes hummtag through the sir *nd Sowers hum Into bloom, it is indescribably lovely. In tbe crystal waters of Azalea poo* are mirrored, like shooting, dancing flames, bright-colored blossoms el overhanging azalea bushes that bend and sway with every passing breeze From the river, one views a succession of terraces, radiating warmth and joyous life from the brilliant (lowers that crown the slopes. On . the highest terrace once stood Great House, a massive, three-story brick building in Tudor style, which boast* ed a secret passage. The Doted French botanist, Andre Mlchaux, here introduced many 'Oriental plants, among which were the first four Camellia Japonlcas ever planted in America. Today, after a lapse of almost 2U0 years, three of the original plants may still be noted among the myriads which beautify tbe ptsce. Tbe only tunnel of camellis* In existence is here, and also a magnificent live oak which, it is estimated. has viewed tbe happenings of 700 years or more. Great House was sdorned with priceless works of art, many of which were mutilated by the British. Almost a century later, the mansion was destroyed by fire in Sherman's march to the sea. one wing alone remaining. This has been restored and here the owner makes his home. , Henry Middleton, second president of the Continental congress; Arthur Middleton, signer of the Declaration of* Independence, and others, whose names are linked with the history of their country, rest within tits BjauBOleum near the river. i ho The Gaelitt Brothers turned in low gross scores in the qualifying round $Dr the cup at the McHenry Country j Club with an 85 apiece. One of the' > nevest members, a prominent city ^politician, turned in a comparatively low score of 108 which will be reduced Thursday by Thursday as the season goes on. Wm. Bonslett with his - large handicap is leading by a wide margin in the Owen Cup Medal Play. At Johnsburg Sunday: Harold Freund struck out 13 men in seven innings; Stock, Marengo first baseman, Was the victim five times; / Frank Freund won the bat offered for the first player to collect sii hits this leason; Walter Freund got the longest hit of the season so far when his drive to left center was good for three bases; Johnsburg team had their pictures taken by Nielsen, the jhotographer; No one won the bat offered for the first home run of the year so the offer remains open. The outboard motor boat racing season will soon be at hand now that warm weather is starting to make its appearance. The first race is Scheduled to occur on May 30 and will lor the first time witness the use of tJ»e new type motor in this section. SThis motor has an under water ex • liaust which opens just above the propeller so that the air space caused by the Ipropellor serves to draw the .fumes out without slowing up the Viotor. Whether or not this will muffle that annoying sound isnuuns to be seen. McHENRY RIFLE CLUB Next Sunday will see the enthusiastic members of the McHenry Rifle Club assembled on the outdoor range j near Lily Lake for the 300-yard match shoot to consist of 5 shots sitting, 5 shots kneeling and 10 shots rapid tire prone with a 30.06 rifle. | This shoot is just one of a series of, shoots being held over the 200 yard,1 300 yard and five hundred yard ranges to determine1 the high aggregate shot of the club. The 200-yard match was held several weeks ago. J After the three matches have been j held the scores are totaled and, the marksman having the high score j will receive a handsome token for his j ability. This prize is to be purchased from the small entry fee being assess-, ed each one desiring to enter. Prizes j are also given for each separate! match and a good turnout may be expected. j At present there are about thirty-' five members with paid up dues but of these only fifteen or twenty have. been at all regular in attendance. | Let's have a larger turnout Sunday as this sport is a real test of skill in which the item of luck is very much absent. Chinese Tree in Gotham Gardens Poisons Keepfcr New fork.--A tftore curious than careful gardener In the New York zoological gardens recently fell victim to a severe cuse of poisoning from e ting of the fruit of tbe Chinese ginkgo tree. Failure to remove the fleshy covering that surrounds the edible kernel of tbe plumlike fruit of the ginkgo was responsible for the gardener's mishap. It Is a favorite food of the Chinese, who carefully remove the outer coat, which gives warning of its toxic power by a strong, rancid odor. Rows of the decorative ginkgos, or maidenhair trees, line tbe drive west of the museum. They were brought here to help popularize them, a. the.* are remarkably free from disease or insects, and withstand city life la summer -Ihej bear wedgeshaped leaves. The hall of fame-was thrown up#h . wide for the admittance of Carl Hubbell, youthful southpaw pitcher for the New York Giants, who recently shut out the hard-hitting Pittsburg team without a hit. This was the ^ftrst no hit, no run performance in the major leagues since 1926 and the frst accomplished by a left hander since 1918. It must have been some ' fcow to McGraw to have this done I While he is confined to his home as he f; fc supposed to be the premier coach of ; fitchers and ordinarily instructs theih What to throw to each batter. Maybe Bubbell would have struck oat twenty- seven men had McGraw been there. Jimmie Fay lost the first battle of his career to Young Alton st Elgin last Thursday night when the judges decided that their home boy had the Jetter of the battle at the end of the fourth round. When the usual three founds had ended a draw was declares and the fighting continued even throughout the fourth, but as a decision had to be given then, the Elgin *§oy got it. Our young dairyman has ~ en invitaton to return to Elgin in the near future so it is evident that he put up a first class scrap. Jimmie lets on the gloves at AntkMh toeior- ^ low night. COUNTY TRACK McHenry will be well represented at the county track meet to be held at Harvard Saturday, May 18. Every high school in the county is sending some men to the meet but Crystal Lake, Harvard and Woodstock will have the largest group to depend on. The Lakers have been giving "k good account of themselves but Coach McCracken firmly believes that he has a man in Patske that can account for points in the broad jump and pole vault while some of his cinder path men are rapidly coming to the front. The heavy rain of Tuesday afternoon washed Out the track meet which was to be held at the new local track with Richmond high as the visitors. Coach MjcCracken had Just finished lining the one-eighth mile track when the deluge broke loose so that he was forced to charge his labor to "Loves Labor Lost.". The track is now in fine condition due to much labor put in. the last few days. The large roller from the golf course has been utilised to firmly pack the cinders in place and before the rain the bed was as solid as s rock. Three 5tu dents Enjoy College on $30 Month Pullman.

Each car accommodtes about thirty persons and provides sleeping accommodations by nigbt and sitting room by day. These cars are attached to through trains on important railroads In all parts of the country and save the public millions of hours of valuable time by enabling it to sleep while it travels. The endless and tireless supervision and labor necessary to assure cleanliness-- some 4,000 cleaner8 in some 3Tfi yards are kept busy--the item of laundry alone totals approximately 250,- 000,000 pieces annually. The immense quantities of supplies required astounds tbe unacquainted. Some 7,000.000 pieces of linen--including sheets enough, placed end to end. to span the Atlantic--are ordinarily carried In stock, half on cars and half in storerooms scattered all over the nation. In one year, 3.000.000 paper bags to protect women's hats from dust. 3.500,000 boxes of matches for smokers, 4,000.000 cakes and over 126.- 000 gallons of liquid soap and 84,000.- 000 paper drinking cups were among the supplies purchased.

New York city, simost within the shbdow of Brooklyn bridge--on New Bowery street, to be exact, behind s {all fence, s tablet carrying the follo^ftHig announcement unexpectedly attracts the attention of the passerby: "This tablet marks what remains of the tirst Jewish cemetery in the United States, consecrated in the year 16T«6, when it was described as 'Outside the citj1.' During the War of the Revolution it was fortified by the patriots as one of the defenses of the city." History records that this resting place of the departed was in high esteem for many years, many who were prominent in their day having been tenderly interred therein, but as the encroachments of the commercial activities of the living practically pushed the dead out of their own, many of the bodies were moved to a larger place then far beyond the city confines where supposedly they would remain undisturbed forever. But, ns America grew and New York city expanded, this once beautiful place also has had to give way to the march of progress. All thst Is left of the original cemetery is a small plot of aground, containing probably one hundred tombs of unknown dead. The inscriptions have been worn by time to a state of illegibility, the actions of the elements have badly disintegrated the stones and caused the vaults to crumble in decay. The rear windows of surrounding apartment houses frown upon this hallowed spot and an oil station adjoins to the south.
