How many would care to watch anyone shoot the "bull" for that length of tifne? Twould get very monotnous. v m Many of thope not to be passed as youthful who are competing in the playground league are seemingly afflicted with broken limbs, old age, «tc., but one guess is that they are sore nrascles brought on by some very childish actors on the diamond. Several remedies have been sq^ested, both external and otherwise. • • Earl COnway, playing Arst base for the Legion playground team, "had the misfortune to break the fourth' finger on his left hand while his team was being trounced by the K. of C.'s.

HKBBON TRAMPLES BY JOHHSBURO BOYS Upriver Players Emerge From Guit Sunday 12 to 0, Shutting Out Their Opponents Johnsburg earned the right to share, second place in the county league with Woodstock when they trimmed and whitewashed Hebron in a league encounter Sunday by a teJ-rible 12.-0 'count. This was Johnsburg's fourth victory against one defeat while the loss merely extended Hebron's losing st)*eak. Ed Freund again took the mound for the locals to test out his arm for traces of its old soreness. From all appearances the old wing is OK again for Ed granted but five blows and gave nary a pass. » Only two men reached third, base, once in the opening rbund when two singles were bunched after two were out, and again rn the second when Hess got there on a passed ball after ^ he had singled with two down. From I are realized. then on only three men reached basel In the five-man team match with and two of them died on first, while;small bore guns, each man shooting Nelson was ran down between second and third after he had doubled for Hebron's fifth and last hit after two were down. So much for Hebron's offense. * The hometowrters started right out with two in the first and increased their totfcl to seven before they had batted three -times. Hits were sure to come to the fore when they were needed and were interspersed with The crowds that are turning out to witness the exhibitions at the city park when the league teams are in action are steadily growing, showing that the sport is popular with others as well as the' players. It might prove a good idea to pass the hat each evening, the proceeds to be donated to the expense of beautifying thapark during the summer months. Considerable agitation is being aroused over Harvard's represents tives in the county baseball league. Charges have been made that a battery is being hired though this isn't official, and chances are great that it was started by some of those team? which have had to fac® Miller, star southpaw of the Northeners. If Harvard won't pay hfm he should join thj£~big ten. Johnsburg's favorite nine seems to have a good supply now that Ed Tonyan has relieved the soreness in his right arm as seems to be the case when one reviews his performance against Hebron Sunday. Joe Frett has pitched two good games in his only starts of the year, Tonyan has three victories to his credit, •and with Harold or Frank Freund to step in when the going gets rough they vghquM go a long way toward a county championship.

The boys of Harvard Legion have always been successful with their carnivals. Huge crowds attend annually but are handled in an orderly fashion and always return for more. Belvidere drum and bogle corps will put on an exhibition Thursday and Friday, nights and on Saturday night the combined City and High School bands will be heard in concert. Jac ques Collegians of Rockford will fur nish the music for dancing each evening.
