His many friends are pulling for Stuessy to make good. He is mak» ing the trip via auto and will stop off at Champaign. "The Legion Indoor team won the title in the Woodstock Kittenball League.

Bill Medort, a golfing "too!" from JSt. Louis recently acquired for his (collection quite a rare specimen. As *11 golfers know, one under par is * birdie, two under par is an eagle, but what Medort wants is a name for his performance. He sank a two hundred fifty yard second shot for a two on a par five hole. Someptut lias suggested Pterodactyl. ^Gabby" Hartnett aaade an error way back in 1925 that new has considerable to do with the standing of the Cubs at present. Peculiar, yes, )>ut here's the explanation. The error lost the final game of th^ season and dropped the Cubs into last place by half a game. That same year, Hack Wilson was released by the Giants and as the Cubs were in Jast place they had first chance for the draft of the -now colorful outfielding star of the coming pennant winners. •^Pickles" Bohr came partway of Ills batting slump when he bagged two hits against the Union Giaats Sunday at Hebron. He batted five times and drove out just five hits, a homer, a double, and three singles. His home run was the first one of the season by a member of the Johnsburg team and wins a nice green bat for "Pickles" and Joe Frett wishes him many more of theui. Max Schmelling had a rosy career in front of him several weeks ago loot flow it appears that he may as well pack his grips and return to the "Fatherland". in some manner Jie has met with the disapproval of the New York State boxing commission Who promptly barred he and his manager for life from activities in that -state. Babe Ruth hit the 800th .home run of lis Htajor league career Sunday against the Cleveland Indians and paid the fan who captured the ball just $20 for its return. He also gave him a new bail with his autograph, The "Bambino" is the first ball player ever to bag 600 home tubs in the unajor leagues and probably any other one. .. _______ There fees been considerable continent about the way the umpires have kept Hebron in the cellar position of the county league. In the eighth inning Sunday after the first two batters had collected a home run and a tripple the Hebron pitcher started complaining about the way the balls and strikes were being called. Quite an opportune time to show how good his own judgment had proved to be. JQHJfSBURG WHIPS !MASONS DROP TWO; T HEBRON 11 TO 8 K. 0. STILL IN LEAD TWyon Pitching For Johnsburg, Easy Sailing Home Game With Woodstock Sunday The league leading Johnsburg basebaH team rambled to Hebron Sunday and took the tail-enders into camp in a Msui-ely manner 11-5. ' ^Kpnyan was on the mound for the winners and had them eating out of his hand, but he was content to bear TFrom all reports the boxinj? show|down on,y in the pinches. Whiting at the Prim Saturday night proved to • dr°PPed an easy fly with two down be above the average. Though bnt'in the fifth and three runs followedlittle advertised, a fair crowd turned iIn. the seventh Hebron filled the bases out to witness the bouts. The referee none out but the Johnsburg dewas worth watching also,'he making i ftn,s^.!ut_ off..t^°_Iuns_.at .A f. the boys fight after they were in the ring. A good third man has a lot to do with putting a boxing show across and we hope these shows wIH continue. • «r The West Side Bums had scheduled a Racine, Wis., team for their opposition on the local diamond last Sunday, buf received word late Saturday that they could not reach here so the old rivals, Johnsburg, were again called to the front and presented some new faces in the lineup, Joe Regner being one of them. The Bums also were shorthanded T>ut filled in with the material at hand and took a trimming H-"6. Every time this Mossey appeared at bat for Hebron the kid* yelled for a homer from "Hack". Seems he gave Harvard lots to think about with a home run and a pair of doubles but this .didn't bother pitcher, Ed. Tonyon, for he struck out the big boy twice and he grounded to second afid popped to short in his other times at bat. Sib's goat-getter from now on will be "remember Hebron". \ Yep, Sib dropped a fly Sunday on what should have been the third out and three runs scored before the side was re tired. Sebre just ambled up to the easy pop-up and reached out his glove for it only to have the ball pop out and fall to the ground. This is the first error by a Johnsburg outfielder this season and it'll be the last if they hit the rest of them to Sib. One's enough. " Well, Wfell, Well! Woodstock trim med Harvard! After taking beatings at the hands of Union and Marengo the county seaters took Harvard into camp at the old fair grounds and the victory served to put Johnsburg way out in front in the league race. What will next Sunday bring when Johnsburg entertains Woodstock at the upriver diamond? There would be nothing sweeter to "Doc" Mengs and his gang than to give the league leaders a thrashing and there should be a large crowd on hand to witness the big battle of the .year. James M. Crossan, the golfer who holds moi-e course records than any other golfer in the U. S. A., ^dded another course to his string when he bested par on the tough Crystal Lake course. Crossan shot a 69 in the morning round to tie the record he then held jointly with A1 Espinosa, and then came back in the afternoon round to shoot 34-32-66. Par on the c ourse 'is 36-37-78. " , and Peterson was an easy out at first. C. Judson was doing the hurling for Heborn and his curves had the heavy hitters baffled for a while but his defense was weak. Toward the end of the game the heavy clouting started and six runs were scored off him in the last two frames. Bohr hit safely in all five times at bat, collated a home run, a double, and three singles. This is the only home run made by any Johnsburg team member during the present season and "Pickles* gets a new bat for his ability with the stick. Harold Freund led off with a hit to open the game. This is the third consecutive game he has opened in that manner. Whiting struck out and Winkle flied to center. Bohr then sent a Texas Leaguer over second that fell safely between the shotstop, second baseman and center fielder, Freund scoring. Cook singled with one out in the second for the only Hebron hit until the fourth inning. In their half of the fourth Bojhr doubled with one gone. Walsh dropped it but the scorer ruled it a hit, Bacon reaching second and Bohr third. Sonny Smith tripled down the left field line and also scored when J. Freund singled. In the home fourth Hebron almost had a run when Peterson singled and took second on an infield out. Cook then singled to right and WhitingV throw to the plate got Peterson. The fifth added another run to the winner's score when Whiting walked and scored on Bohr's third hit. The fifth also broke the ice for Hebron. Walsh singled with none out. C. Judson struck out and Sipsma flied to Bacon. Nelson flied one to right and Whiting sauntered in too carelessly and the ball bounced from his glovp, Walsh scoring. Judson and Koufer then hit safely and the result was three runs making the score 5-3. Johnsburg went out in order in the sixth and seventh but Hebron scented a rally when C. Judson walked to open the seventh. Sipsma singled and Nelson was hit by a pitched ball filling the bases. V. Judson grounded to Bohr and a man was forced at the plate. Koufer grounded to A. Smith and his throw home got Sipsma but the try for a double play went awry when Joe Freund's throw hit Koufer. Peterson then was out when Freund threw out Peterson after ToAyan slowed down his hard smash. Bohr opened the eighth with his home run to deep left and Bacon followed with a triple to left center. StooemeM Keep Their Record Clean With Eleven Defeats and1 No Victories The lowly Masons dropped two mors games this week and kept their slate clean with eleven defeats and no victories. In spite of their record they made the classy Forester outfit realise they were in a ball game by leading them for the first five innings. Then those natty caps got the best of them, just 9s it had the K. C's but a week before, and the C. 0. F. men rode through for another . victory. The score was 6-5 and was a tough one for the Stonemen to lose. When the Masons bumped against1 the K. C. team the spirit that almost won for them over the Foresters was sadly lacking. Clay Hughes had to play third base, due to a leg injury that prevented his occupying center field. Seems he felt a little out-ofplace and the Kids took advantage of this by sending several hits through his territory. Winkel was on the mound for the Knights and bowled them over in great shape, striking out two men in one inning when his hooker worked ift for perfect strikes. The gam6 produced more than the average bit of comedy, Umpire Newman aiding in this when he allowed Hughes to go from first to third on a foul ball. He also gave McCracken four strikes but it struck the diminutive coach as funny that he struck otat enyway. Jay Cristy almost hit a home run through Bacon's legs, but he failed to hurdle the spectators along the base line and was out for playing hide-and-seek with the catcher. Murderers' Row was*kgain functioning for the Kid Clouters and the runs were all too numerous. The final score was 12 to 2, but the Foresters said the result was to be reversed next week when the C.O. F.' and Kaysees clash on Tuesday.

The ninth brought four more runs on but two hits, one a triple by Winkel which should have been but a double but MJassey took his time in fielding the ball so Red continued to third, the hit scoring Tonyan from third and George Frett from second. Bohr then got his fifth hit of the day sending Winkel home and later scored himself on an infield out. Three hits made it look like a desperate rally in the home ninth but only two runs resulted and the game left Hebron in the cellar position of the league while Johnsburg gained a full game over the second place Harvard nine when Doc' Mengs held them to four hits and one run while his Woodstock mates pounded Miller hard. Next Sunday this same Woodstock nine comes over to Johnsburg to see if. they can't take the league leaders into camp.

Landscaping, and flower gardening, under the direction Of experts, have converted the grounds into a veritable garden spot. In addition to the competitive display of outdoor floral ex hiblts, there are many beautiful plots of flowers and foliage plants interspersed throughetrt "the grounds. Visi tors find.tJbe grounds far more attractive this season than ever before It is the under-lying policy of the state administration to develop, first, the features of the fair that prove of educational valtw to the public. Efforts to increase exhibits in the live stock, poultry and agricultural classes in general have been rewarded with aft extensive Hst of entries in all of the departments The exhibits and demonstrations that represent the industrial progress and artistic achievements of the state and nation will reveal considerable expansion Over former records. The new machinery field, providing space that all considered far beyond requirements, has been found inadequate to accommodate all applicants. As a result, lair visitors will view an endless array of all that is the best and latest in farm equipment and related lines of manufactured products. The educational features--particularly the girls' school of domestic scicnce, the boys' school, the junior club activities and the vocational agricultural class competition--h a v e all come in for a fair share of attention. As a result, record enrollment and entries, and a wider scope of service to the public is assured. The features that furnish wholesome entertainment and relaxation have J>y no means been neglected. For the automobile racing days, Saturday, August 17 and 24, an abundance of high class cars and drivers are listed to compete. The harness racing program, from Monday to Friday inclusive, has drawn abundant entries of the country's leading stables of Cotters and pacers. .* A repertoire of act^ tp entfrtain the grandstand audience eaih' afternoofi and evening has been selected with particular care. The numbers on each program represent a wide range of entertainment. There are so'many kinds of acts that everyone will find at least a few that will make a strong appeal. By way of musical entertainment, Bachmann's Million Dollar Band will entertain the grandstand audience, and in addition, a number of the state's foremost musical organizations will dispense melody at the horseshow nightly and throughout the grounds all through the week. Even in "Fairy Avenue," the midway of the fair, a new array of shows and rides awaits the merry-makers. Nothing that would add to the value of the exposition as a development agency and as a public entertainment enterprise has been overlooked or slighted, judging from the plans on which the state officials are now administering the finishing touches. Sunday's Results Johnabury 11, Hebron 5. RINGWOOD 15, Huntley'Mi- Woodstock 8, Harvard 1« V Algonquin 5. Marengo 4. ^ Next Sunday's Gaaies v ! Algonquin at Ringwood. ^ Woodstock at JOHNSBIHM.^ Huntley at Marengo. Hebron at Union. Harvard Idle Algonquin, Johnsburg and Marengo continued their winning ways in the county league last Sunday but Harvard succumbed to the pitching of Mengs and the Woodstock nine rode over the second place Harvard outfit for an St to' l win in the big upset of the day. Johnsburg coasted to victory over the last place Hebronites with Tonyon bearing down only in the pinches. Judson curved the ' old horsehide very effectively in the early innings, but the heavy slugging league leaders got to him toward the close of the game. Bohr's five hits including a home run and a double, took the slugging honors. Ringwood travelled to Huntley where a slugfest ended with Ringwood on top by a 15 to 9 score. The nine innings was occupied by much squabling and took nearly three hours to complete. Hawley handled the mound position and eased up after getting a 15 to 4 lead, Huntley running a wild and scoring five runs in the last inning. Harvard travelled > to Woodstock Sunday all prepared to face the hurling of Pope but the county seaters had no catcher on hand so Pope was forced to catch and Mengs again tried his hand at pitching. It proved to be a lucky situation for Miengs let the Harvard bunch down with but four hits and Woodstock partly avenged their defeats by some of the weaklings of the league by a 8-1 score. Algonquin and Marengo had the l*al thriller of the day with H. Storm pitted against the Fissinger Brothers in a first class pitcher's battle. The Score stood 5-3 in the last of the ninth when Zalesky reached first base for Algonquin on an error and then stole second. H. Storm singled bringing in the tying run and then Bailey, the* first sacker, sent a double over the score board in centerfield causing finis to be written to all the efforts that Fissinger had expended in vain. This Sunday all eyes will be turned toward the Woodstock-Johnsburg fracas at the upriver diamond. Woodstock has vowed vengeance on some of the high-ups in the league and Johnsburg is going to see that they get it in the neck. Ringwood entertains the Algonquin nine in what should be another real game. Both teams have been playing some real ball in their last few games and if the pitchers show the form they are capable of displaying, the crowd will get their money's worth. Biuas Dowaaid By Johnahwrg The Racine team failed to show up to furnish the opposition for the West Side Bums on the home field Sunday and Manager Thorsell hurriedly rounded up their old rivals, Johnsburg, and put on a game. It proved a bad move, however, as the upriver lads took the Bums into camp by an 11 to 5 score. The game was very loosely played with many errors on each side Huemann pitched good ball for the winners and got the proper support af the right time. Smith, Michaels, and Schaefer didr the, heavy hitting, getting two apiece. The Bums presented rather a patched- up lineup with but four regulars present and this .doubtlessly had something to do with their defeat. Conway failed to appear and Ander? son was forced to pitch and was hit rather freely. Manager Thorsell kept his mates in the running by slamming out three hits. Joe Regner appeared I in the MfcHenry lineup for a short time. Joe is regarded as a has-been now, not having played for some time.
