M'H»KY-J OP: URG GAMES ;?i- But the remnants of the last year's Munty championship team won their fell games last Sunday, McHenry trimming Wonder Lake 6 to 1 behind the stellar hurling of Tonyan and Johnsburg took Silver Lake into camp chiefly through the efforts of one Unky, a Chicago lad, who struck out fifteen opponents in the Beven innings played and allowed but one hit. The final score was 2 to 0. Newly Organized MAACS Stow Up Well--Linke Pitches One-hit Game At Johnsburg McHenry and Johnsburg baseball teams scored easy victories in their first contest of the year, the former trimming Wonder Lake 6-1 in seven innings, and the Up River lads ekeing out a 2-0 victory over the strong Silver Lake team. Tonyan, pitching the first game for the newly organized McHenry Athletic club nine, had the Wonder Lake boys wondering what it was all about. He allowed but two hits, walked one and hit one batsman. The lone tally for the losers was scored in the seventh inning after the second hit off Tonyan, a sacrifice, and a wild throw to third by Catcher Fay that Bacon might have stopped. The winners wasted no tins* in starting their assault which continued steadily, they scoring one run in each inning except the third. Bacon walked to start the contest and moved to third on Whiting's first hit, a double. Winkel popped high to second. Bohr drove one to deep left and Bacon scored after the c&tch, Whiting going to third. Frett struck out. In the next inning Fay was safe on a wild throw by Anderson, Lakers' shortstop, and went to second when Butler missed the throw. Tonyan then drove him home with a single to right. From then on the game was just a romp, with Tonyan handcuffing the home team, Anderson was hit by a pitched ball but Big Ed picked him off first. Hitchens walked but Fay MAHY KIDS TUKH OUT TOE L®froir BASXBALL Leo Wiakel to Manage America Legion Tfeaai This Season--McCabe Boasts Move Athletic Director Hamilton Parr of the local American Legion Post was greatly pleased with the splendid manner in which the youngsters turned out fyr the first meeting held for the purpose of organizing a Junior team of the American Legion Post to represent them in the county league this season on the baseball diamond. Forty youths were present and not all of them came to partake of the eats that Jim Marshall set up as an added attraction. These boys were all under seventeen, but there the likeness stopped as they were from four to six feet tall and from 100 pounds upward in weight. However, it takes all types to make a ball team as well as compose the population of the world. It isn't the looks that count, it's the actions. John L. McCabe, county and district commissioner of athletics for the American Legion, was the principal speaker of the meeting and expressed pleasurable delight at the splendid turnout. <<Mac" gave a nice talk on the benefits Ite be derived from participation in the Legion athletics, the organization as a whole, and the clean minds and bodies it is building up. He also warned the boys against losing heart if they weren't picked for the team right off the bat. Remember there are only fourteen allowed on the squad. The lads are taught to keep the rules and to keep their self control. They should also learn how WIDOW OF BANDIT «OW REVIVALIST Electrocuted, SIm Turns to Evangelism. caught him stealing.

So much so that he has scheduled a game with the strong Crystal Lake Firemen for the coming Sunday, the game to be played on the Laker's field, which is located across the road from the Crystal Lodge on Route 19, eaBt of the Lake. The game win staitir *4- 2:80 daylight savings time. increasing lead being piled up by those ball-playing lads of McHenry. Fay caught his first gair e in several yebrs and turned in a passable game. With a little practice he and Tonyan should form a great battery. Bohr and Winkel need no introduction to the fans though neither did anything with the stick in Sunday's contest. They occupy their old positions at first and second. Whiting played short and tuned in with a double and single in four times ap. Bacon was temporvard with him to help him explain the ins and outs of the organization. These lads all played with Harvard last year and gave the McHenry boys some first hand information. Jim Marshall and William H. Althoff said a few words to let the local youths know that they were back of them and Handed them plenty of encouragement in this new undertaking. Red Winkel told a lot, but not all that he knows about the game. He is saving a lot of his knowledge to arily on third awaiting the 'arrival of (teach to the boys he is going to coach I i ' Work has been started on the new -ikraond west of Newell Colby's barn on Route 20, but so far the wet weather has greatly delayed progress. The site has great promise for an A-I field, but there will have to be more assistance in order that the diamond be finished for the start of the County League schedule. The Legion Kids can lend a great deal of assistance by bringing their rakes and shovels along and practice their swings in that man. ner. McHenry should be proud of the enthusiasm displayed by the youths and the manner in which they turned out for the Junior Baseball Team meeting of the American Legion last Friday, ft may have been the free lunch donated by Jim Marshall that brought the forty young men to the assembly, but I have a suspicion that it is the desire to become the future Hernsbys, Ruths and Cobbs that brought most of them there. Elgin had but twenty-five at a similar meeting in that city. lied Winkel has been selected to eeach the Junior Baseball team of the American Legion that is being organised by the McHenry post. Red iB well known to all followers of the sport In this vicinity, having played for the last seven years on independent teams in this community. Winkel also exbetter material and had a single and two walks in his first four trips to the plate. Zeke expects to finish in the outfield where he is more at home. Frett, Karls, and Conway had little to do in the outfield, but managed to sharpeyi their eyes at the plate for future reference. There seems to be plenty of enthusiasm amongst the players as well as the fans. A good following journeyed to the game Sunday and remained even though their spirits were dampened by the rain which fell during the last two innings. It is this spirit which assures the backers of the team that their enterprise will turn out a success. Crystal Lake is scheduled for the next opponents of the MAACS Sonday afternoon at the Crystal Lake diamond. The local field h«« not yet reached the stage where it can be used for a game, but with the assistance of the Legion Juniors it shouldn't be many days before the diamond will be in tip-tojp shape. Practice was held Tuesday evening and another session will be had tonight. Any players desiring tryouts will please report to Manager Knox at the field tfria evening. Jblwtarg ^|n John^trnrp imported a lad named Linke to pitch for them in their opener with Silver Lake that was postponed from last Sunday op account of the rain, and this Linke had them blinking while he was striking out .fourteen of the Silver Lakers in the 'seven innings the game lasted. One hit was garnered off his deliveries. Only one assist was recorded in tlje game and orie error was all that the fielders had charged against them. Considering the early stage of the season the game was extremely well played and afforded the small number this season as he was chosen by the Legion Post to take charge of the new team. He will be assisted by other well known players in this capacity. It is planned by the league to play two games each week in order to complete the schedule. Wednesday and Saturday are the days on which games will be played. The new diamond of the MAACS was offered the Legion Juniors for use ss soon as it reaches completion. Of course, a little assist, ance from the lads won't be turned down. Philadelphia.--Mrs. Gertrude Doris, widow of F rankle Doris, noted Olney bank bandit who was electrocuted In the state prison at Rockview with three companions for the murder of Policeman Harry M. Cooper in 1926, has become a revivalist She is attached to the Salvation Army citadel, Eighth and Vine streets, where she is devoting her life to alleviating the sorrows of others. Commandant Staivthorpe said that Mrs. Doris had been regularly enrolled as a "Soldier of the Lord," and was assigned to the district centering around Eighth and tine streets. Her probationary period over, she has assumed the Salvationists' uniform. Recently she appealed to those who entered the citadel to forego the ways of sin. Standing on the platform the yeung woman avows "the racket" can never pay. "Crime doesn't pay. there's nothing in the racket, ta any racket ft** a losing game," she exhorted her hearers. "Some who lose go to the chair, the others, in the long ran, go to Jail. And the women, theSr fate is even worse; you have seen them pass on their way to the Philadelphia General hospital; then oblivion." The widow of the bank bandit, who has admitted she was once a racketeer, left the old ways on the night after her husband, with Francis Bentley, William Juliano and William Curry, attempted to rob the Olney Bank and Trust company, and were captured after Policeman Cooper had been shot down. $ She obtained work fn a department store and early last fall began to attend the Salvation army meetings. A few months ago she had a long talk with Commandant Staintliorpe and began her period of probation for service with the Salvationists. BIBLE CONTINUES BEST SELLING BOOK Million PufcKaMd in U. S.

The estimated total for 1H29 purchases tor the world Is 3,500,000. Since October when the revised Episcopal Prayer book was published. 1,600,000 copies of the Prayer book have been sold, Se> cording to figures gathered by the National Association of Book Publishers. Commenting on these statistics of Bible and Prayer book sales, Edward S. Mills, president of the National As» sociatlon of Book Publishers, said: "The fact that the Bible is still the world's best selling book seems to (Ms-, prove the contention of many that general interest in religion Is on the wane. Another evidence of universal concern with religious problems is the large number of religious books issued by American publishing houses each year. Of the 10,187 new books and •ew editions Issued In the United States daring 1829, 800 Were religions books. ' " One Family Bible P*s* "The only two groups which exceeded religious publication* were fiction, which totaled 2,142, and children's books, totaling 031. Biography, which Is recognized as one of the most popular classes of literature at the moment totaled 738 In 1929, 68 1 than the religious book total. In the last five years 4,316 religious books have been published, and rellgioua titles have been either second or third on the list of classifications each year. It Is Interesting to note that In 1820 and 1910 religious books stood fourth on the list; in 1900 sixth. "One reason for the large sales of Bibles is the modern Chnrch teacher's Insistence on each member of the household having his own Bible. The old tradition of one family Bible is passe. A wide variety of editions and prices are now available--children's Bibles, reference Bibles, beautifully illustrated editions. A recent Innovation in Bible publishing is the substitution of colortd bindings, Hch reds, purples and blues, fOr the somber black which was considered the only suitable binding for so many years. Another striking change Is brought about by the use of bold face type In some editions, which is considered more readable than the lighter types. Bibles as Gifts. "Books on the relation of religion and science have had large sales recently and books giving a spiritual interpretation of the universe are eagerly sought by the reading public. Biographies of religious leaders, books on the problems of the church in the modern world snd on comparative religions are also populsr. Many general book stores now have active departments specially devoted to the display of religious books, and a great many volumes are sold by the denominational stores throughout the country. There is a strong demand for books In this field during the Lenten sfasod snd for Esster gifts." Style Has Lasted In the days when capes were worn instead of coats, men frequently carried swords, hung at the left side, under the cape. The cape was held closed from left to right so that the right hand would be free to reach for the sword when necessary. When coats were substituted and swords were not necessary, the left side was still lapped over the right because men had become accustomed to Hk ^ J Jews Net Free Fran Cum* There la ne truth In the often-repeated statement that Jewa never have cancer.

Harold Patzke took first in the pole vault and broad jump and tied for first ih the high jump. A Davis was next in the number of points scored, placing second in each of the javelin and mile events. Other point getters were O'Shea, third, in the 100-yard dash and tied for third in the 220-yard event, Wagner third in the discus and shotput, and Kreutzer, third, in the pole vault. The McHenry relay team ran the 880 fast enough to place second. O'Shea, Howard and Anderson made up the foursome. Dundee won the meet with 64 points with Crystal Lake a close second with 42U. Last evening Woodstock invaded the local team's stronghold to display Coach Dale's material and test the adroitness of McCracken's men. Track has never been a well-balanced sport in the local high, but this year's team seems to be better qualified than any in recent years. Patzke demonstrated his ability to cope with the average athlete in Saturday's triasgular, ar.d O'Shea will show up well with most of the runners in the county. SEEKING GAMES ^ WITH AMATEUR TEAMS The Waukegan Comrades who are starting on a third successful season at Waukegan, 111.,' are anxioua to schedule games with some of the strong amateur teams in this vicinity. Their schedule for the month of May is already filled, but they are ready to make arrangements for games in June and July. Managers of local teams who wish to get in touch with Waukegan Comrades should write to John Petrovic, manager and treasurer of the club. He can be reached at 825 Wadsworth Ave., Waukegan, 111., or telephone Majestic 2844, Waukegan. The Comrades last year won 17 out of 23 games, some of them with the strongest amateur teams in Lake county.
