BACON'S STRIP .ZEKE" BACON The baseball world was twice shock- \ed last week by the deaths of two of lfe^frand old men, Ernest S. Barnard aad Byron Bancroft Johnson, president and ex-president of the Ameri- *c«n League. It is the leaders of this type that have made baseball what it is today. J~ -y-^' "• vRumor has it that Woodstock again ^ litisa to be represented on the dia ' nond by a firat-clais baseball club. It has been many a year since Mc- - Henry and Woodstock fought it oat on tile baseball diamond and I'm sure Walt Freund would welcome the chance to book the county seat team for the coming season if sufficient competition can be a£i*anged. High school basketball ^ • m the past season has just, had Its picture taken. Hadn't 'ought tc be So bad when one thinks of the players OA the team and then, besides, it isn't •apposed to be a work of art. Mighty nice to look back to- when they are pot of school for a while and will Mrve as a pleasant reminder of the happy days long gone by. And what the grandchildren say? -Work on the grandstand being erected on the site o1 the new baseball diamond, west of the Broadway, is progressing slowly, due to the inclement weather. It is still early with the Mason not scheduled to open much before the latter part of April, but Manager Walt Freund wants to have thiiifip in readiness so that nothing «iill delay the progress of the all-star Ham which he is gathering together.

A 95 in the kneeling division put uixu on top for that position but he waa topped by other players in each of the others. An 80 in the standing was well up toward the top and had plenty todo with Us subsequent victory. Lester's victory meant something to others as well as himself as he is an ex-service man and this win helps to restore them to the position they once occupied at the top of the ranks in the Rifle club. A. Pfannenstill and Herb Freund». club secretary, were right on Dutch's heels with 362, mainly because of perfect rourids from the prone position. Ed Justen had 361 to press the money men but fell down in the sitting event or he might have had his name engraved on the cup. The competition for the coveted fam® looms, rAxons OOAOH, KILLED IK CRASH Knute Rockne, football coach at Notre Dame University, and considered the world's greatest coach, met his death iif an airplane crash near Emporia, Kas., Tuesday forenoon. Not only, the sport world, but Che entire nation, mourns the loss of this great man. His place is going to be hard to fill. He was a real leader in his line of work, loved by those who followed, his instructions and held in the highest regard by the fans who would travel miles to witness the performance of his gridiron warriors. Knute Rockne's name will go down in history as one of the finest of characters. He was honest, a square fighter and a real man. Mr. Rockne was traveling by air from Kansas City to Los Angeles when the plan crashed and fell about 2,000 feet to the ground. He and sevein others were killed. once on the indoor. The winner in each division is generally conceded to be the champion for the season as the cup is the finest award offered by the club. It was donated to the club by the. West McHenry State Bank back in 1928 when the Rifle club was just getting well organized; hence its name.

Howard says he hates to see McMillan the victim of a head lock " as he hasn't the neck of a wrestl (a professional one.) Jim is in fini IRiape and it is this condition training that has brought him # the top in the mat game. > "•* Friends and foes alike, of Notre ®ame, the fans about town and else- ' Hhere, expressed nothing but regrets at the sudden passing of Knute ' - Bockne, the greatest football coach ' i|i the history of the game. Not only ||s knowledge of football but his exercise of psychology in controlling? the players on his teams brought him the "success that comes only to the truly great. Football and athletics are the' r*|tysers of one whose record shall be among the Immortals. ^ Henry Miller's group of "all-star" ' )powlers again took Grayslake into, .0mp in an inter-city match. It was .imry close and interesting through- ' «iit and only Geerge Freund's stellar Windup with a 229 count* saved the day. The final margin was but 18 pins. In the first game McHenry led by 59 pins but the Lakers came lteck to take a lead of 26 pins in the: Second round. Then the final withj George's neat count and the match was placed to'~the right side of the JWfer. Elgin is gradually piling up a formidable lead over the McHenry Rifle : Mub in their series of matches this Winter. The advantage for the first three shoots is 157 points, a margin lat will tales s goodly number of llseyes to overtake them. The ^cores to date are 1838 to 1790; 1820 to 1J44 and 1839 to 1806. By this it may be seen that the locals have Shown decided improvement. Let us fcope for a continuance of this and Some day a victory may b« scored over Jfelgin.

It Is time to tune np the work team if they are expected to do fall duty in the spring rush, said Prof. M. W. Harper of Cornell university over WEAI recently. A Lome thai is too fat or too thin is in no condition to plunge into heavy work. Light work at this season with an Increase In grain helps harTten the team and toughens the shoulders. The amount of feed differs with the horse, the kind of work, and the condition of the horse. A good rule Is to supply two pounds of feed dally for each hundred pounds of weight for light work, and two and a half pounds for heavy work. For light work give one-third grain and two-thirds hay, and for heavy work the ratio may go as high as two-thirds grain and onethird hay. Sound oats are unexcelled as a grain for horses. Salt should be supplied regularly but it should not be put In the feed. There is little advantage In grinding or chopping grain. As for the order of supplying water, grain and hay; feed or water so frequently that the horse gets neither hungry nor thirsty. But feed and water regularly, because horses anticipate the hour of feeding and become B£rvQD£ 1£ it Is long delayed. ^ . . it. ;•./ -- - rV& • • :•'< ^ "MUMk" Story - Mezzanine means a story of diminished height Introduced between two higher stories.
