Coach McCracken was very well satisfied with the work his team performed Saturday. They scored ten or twelve first downs and were once within five yards of their opponent's goal line, only to lose the ball on downs. Teddy Anderson did the punting for the locals and out-booted the best efforts of his rival consistently. ^ Odds, around £his part of tb* counfry seem to be all in favor of Phila- _ . v^ dflphia to trim the Cubs in the big j Huemann and O'Shea pounded through UV ij86"®8- * strong catching, ]jne for steady gains, but there is >f seems to be the reason' ana this enough green material in the line V^ jsame staff is just as likeiy to rise to ^i.^^.the heights and give the Cyb's faith- : * ful rSters a pleasant surprise.,;'* Charlie Root against Lefty Grove is my guess for the opener of the big series. Charlie is tied with Guy Busn for league honors but his recent performances have been far more briljliant. Connie Mack is expected to use Grove as his best bet to gain that > all important advantage of .winning the opener. The bowling alleys being installed in Woodstock by Dave Joslyn, Jr., are expected to be opened about Oct. 15. Dave will have many visitors from -McHenry a& he ,4s well liked in this vicinity, where his skill as a bowler has made him well known to the followers of this sport. McDonald reported to Coach McCracken with a leg twice its normal size after the game at Woodstock Saturday. With Purvey and Buch already out with injuries his loss will be keenly felt in the event if he doesn't improve before Saturday. Given an even break in the hospital list, 'Mac* is very hopeful of bringing home a victory in his next battle. McMillan of Grayslake is absent from the Chicago Bears' lineup this year and the stalwart linesman's ability is sadly missed. The Bears have a great backfield this year but without a line of more than passable strength they went down to defeat before the great Green Bay Packer team, C. W. Goodell's old favorites. Johnny Mostil, the once peerless outfielder of the White Sox, was in Secretary Grabiner's offiee the other day' when I was present and I received the opportunity of shaking hands with him. Johnny is recovering from an ankle injury suffered earlier in the year but next year I'm sure you'll hear more of this stellar performer's deeds. Coach McCracken got along Without the services of two highly rated gridiron men last Saturday when "Hattie" Patzke and Dick Wegener were kept out of the lineup. These boys had to undergo this manner of punishment because of a break in training rules, but "Mac" insists upon discipline first, last and always. Without it no teaih gets anywhere. balance and the ability to pick the j Miller, Harvard Pitcher ~i~ j. Freund, Johnsburg Catcher Bohr, Johnsburg 1st base Winkel, Johnsburg (Capt.) ..2nd base Johnson, Harvard 3rd base Dahn, Algonquin .--^.......Short Stop Palmer, Harvard Left Field Hstchens, Ringwood ...Center Field Pope, Woodstock ..Right Field In the pitching, catching, first base and left field selections, Sorenson and myself agree perfectly, but in the other positions I feel that there are better men to be picked than those named by him in his official all-county nine. Henc© my selection. At second base I have picked Leo "Red" Winkel, a teammate, who, I believe is a hard man to beat in any department except possibly throwing. "Red" is steady on ground balls, can handle pop flies to perfection and is an accurate thrower. His arm isn't as strong as it might be, but he makes up for this by a free, easy movement that gets the ball off in a hurry. At the plate Winkel is one of the most dangerous hitters in the league, having averaged around .376 this year. In addition to his skill Leo is an old hand at the game and knows it thoroughly. Therefore I have selected him as captain on my mythical team. Johnson, Sorenson's selection for second, is a very1 valuable man who played third on several different occasions. I have shifted him to that position to replace Pope because he is too valuable a man to leave off the team. His hitting was a big factor in Harvard's standing this year. Pope I have moved from third to right field. Pope is one of those likeable fellows that fit in anywhere. He has filled every position on Woodstock's team during the season and doesn't seem to excel in any particular one. His hitting is above the averto prevent a first-class machine from being turned out here. A little more seasoning and the stage will be set for a winner. Howard is playing fullback and, though this is his first year at the game, is already showing promise of being a steady ground gainer. Purvey and Buch were both out of the line Saturday, Purvey with a cracked rib that will keep him inactive for a few weeks, and Buch with minor injuries.. This removed considerable weight from the line and the loss of this means much to a small squad. Marengo is to be the foe of the local team next Saturday at the western county field. Marengo usually has a bunch of aggressive men that are hard to beat, but the ^ squad under "Mac" are just more determined to win their first league game since their defeat at St. Mary's ' Dundee Scrimmages McHenry Dundee's High School football eleven visited M. C. H. S. Tuesday afternoon and engaged Coach McCracken's men in a hard scrimmage to help put them in trim for the Marengo game Saturday. ^ • "Mac" wasn't very well satisfied with the way they were working and had several things to say to them when they reached the dressing room. The tackling was ragged and the defense was repeatedly fooled on cutback plays. These things are always noticeable on a green team like the locals have this year, but a few real games will make them look different. Wegener was back in the line and looked good, as did Schreiner also. Huemajn and O'Shea in the backfield showed up well, but O'Shea's tackling needs brushing up. Before the week is over McCracken will have many of these defects corrected and promises that Marengo is going to have to fight their darnedest to best the undying spirit of the M. C. H. S. warriors. Activity has commenced atonpthe firing line at the Palace alleys. These cool nights are bringing the bowlers into action but few real scores have been made. It's too early to expect this but just watch the scores when tlM! old weekly prize for high score goes up. I rolled my first game and made the astounding count of 101! It's a good thing there l» >riy first game a year. The lightweights from the Community high succumbed to a greater experience when they allowed St. Mary's midgets to score twice late in the game after holding them scoreless for the greater part of the game. Some of these little lads surely surprise you when they get in action and it's worth while to go early just to see the future greats exhibit their TO roc The score of this contest was 12 to 0 in favor of St. Mary's. Secretary Sorenson of the McHenry County baseball league has picked an all-county team which in all probability will go down as official. However, Mr. Sorenson's choice doesn't seem to please everyone and I am submitting a nine of my own choice to compare with the official all-county stars. It is only reasonable that these teams differ as no one can see all of the games and one's choice can be based only on what they see combined with the batting averages. "Fistic Art" Had Origin in Days of Barbarism Although boxing as a science is relatively modern, it was In the blazing sun of Italy and Greece, in the great ampitheaters of long ago, where barbarian captives fought and died to tickle the fancy of the populace, that boxing as a sport was born. That these people must have developed a skillful school of boxing during the period in which the cestus was used is certain, but unfortunately little is known either of the style of fighting or of the personal attributes of the boxer by which a comparison can be made between those long-dead champions and the modern wlelder of the padded glove. The nearest connecting Unit is the famous Greek statue chls- «led in time-defying marble known as •The Boxer." This, at least, affords a study in character. During the early part pf the Eighteenth century in England boxing was about as inhuman a sport as one can Imagine. The middle of the century, fortunately, saw the dawn of a new day for the boxer, for at this time Jack Broughton, a young English champion, invented boxing gloves and originated a code of rules prohibiting much of the former savagery of the sport, on which many of the future rules have been based.--Philadelphia Ledger. Jackie Fields won from Vincent Dundee last night " in a real good scrap at Chicago. Everybody else makes their stab at picking the winners in the big football games so I intend to try my hand at predicting the outcome of the bijf battles each Saturday. A record will be kept and it may be I'll find it profitable to discontinue this practice before the year is over. For next Saturday our offer is: Chicago over Beloit. Northwestern over ButleSr. Wisconsin over Colgate. Camesrie Tech over Thiel. Georgia Tech over Miss. Aggies> Illinois over Kansas. Notre Dame over Indiana. -v Iowa over Moijmouth.

Though the weather isn't particularly adapted for tejwis, enthusiasm is high and a good scrap for high honors is forseen by* the dopesters. age and he possesses a strong arm" that is necessary in the field. Hitchens of Ringwood is one fine all around player. He is rangy, alert, a good batter and speedy base runner and seems to have a head for baseball. He hits left handed, a supposed asset. Hitchen's work in the field was very noticeable on Ringwood's squad and his arm is unusually powerful. My other difference in opinion occurs at shortstop. Here I have supplanted Berg of Woodstock with Dahn of Algonquin. Berg is very fast and a fair hitter, but he hasn't as yet acquired the polish that makes him the steady goer that "Stub" Dahn of Algonquin has proven. Dahn is also « much better slugger and is by no mean a slew-foot when it conrtte to tunning bases. Please remember that these selections are but one writer's opinion and his views of the different players have been obtained in but a comparatively small number of games. Secretary Sorenson's team will most likely stand at the official one. ^ Beetle HU S<mm Vahtt Devil's horse or devil's coach horse Is the name given to certain large rove beetles. About 2.000 different species of rove beetles have been described. Says an eminent entomologist: "They live on decaying animal or vegetable matter, In excrement, fungi, or fermenting sap. and are among the most universally distributed of all beetles. Many of them are predatory, and some have been accused of feeding on living plants; but on the whole they are of importance to the agriculturist only as scavengers, and as they aid In reducing the dead animal and vegetable matter Into shape for assimilation bj plants."--Pathfinder Magazine.
