Manager A1 Pappmg of the IGA tWne was fornrieriy a resident of this community and will no doubt be welcomed by maay of his friends. Harry Moms proved to the rest of this members at the McHenry Country club that his early season warning to beware wasn't merely an idle jest by slamming the little elusive pill around fpr an 18-hole total of 73, the best round shot on the course this year. It gives some of the boys something at which to shoot. Par for the coarse is 72. BUCK'S AJ» LYOWB TIE rOR raST PLACE . lite- Buch Plumbers made a sweep of the week's games and thereby rode into a tie with Lyons Variety ten, one of their victims. The Buch aggregation has showed plenty of class so far this year and promise to give the other old-towners plenty to think about before they are allowed to walk away with the pennant. j The game that the Lyons dropped to the Plumbers was their first loss of the year and they are smarting for revenge. A change has been made in the lineup of the Parksiders with Grandpa Hughes coming back to the good graces of his team-mates after being a spring holdout. He will replace JThies in right field for the time being. This week will find the Parksiders hooking up with the Laundry Boys tonight and next Tuesday the Laimdry ten will try their special suds on the Lyons Variety Boys- . w Standing Lyons Variety 8 Buch Plumbers , # McHenry Laundry 1 Parksiders 4>- Week*a R«ntt« Jtme 3--Suchs, 10; Laundry, 7.

Some of these caddies are getting so that they can show the way to a majority of the club members and should, with a few more years' growth, be poshing the course records downward. This Knox personage that has been performing behind the bat at intervals for the Irish Prairie Shamrocks, is none other than Bobby Knox, who is now engaging in his nth year of baseball. The fiery little fellow must have played for twenty years and, for One, I'm curious to know just what century he is in. Irvrn Moodey, Wauconda lad, who has had considerable experience in minor league baseball, has been signed «p for the remainder of the season by the Athletics. Moody is quite well known here and was one of the pitchers who faced th© Chicago White Sox when they visited Jdhnsburg several years ago. He will be on the mound Sunday when the IGA nine from Crystal Lake arrives. .750 .7jm50 .000 Major leagues are buzzing with Activity these days" with Kiki Coyler back in activity, Heathcote getting his release, Foxx leading Ruth by four homers and way ahead of the major league record pace, the White Sox taking the Yankees In the series opener, and the Giants setting a start, ling pace under the leadership of their new manager. Bill Terry. This pair of left-handed apeedballers, Grove and Gomax, are burning up the leagues this year. Gomez, with the Yankees, has won an even dozen while losing one. Grove has won his last eleven starts and now totals twelve victories but has suffered three losses. Gomez, though but a 150- pounder, leads the American league in strikeouts and Manager Joe McCarthy lays it all to his nervous energy. McHenry's American Legion nine conquered Woodstock to go into a tie for the county lead with the vanquished and Cary and then stepped out to take Marengo's new entry into camp in a Monday game which put them into the fore. Woodstock was no match for the locals in a wild 15- 12 encounter i?hough the McHenry battery was decidedly off form, the promising Lay performing in a heretofore unknown /ityle behind the plate. The lack of a first string catcher is all that keeps McHenry from having a walkaway with the pennant race. Lay, a hard hitter, is a fair performer in the outfield ard is valuable because of his hard hitting. L00AL8 AOAIK WHIP AV, USE WHITEWASH BBU8H "Spots" and his gang got such a big kick out of shutting out the Athletics in their first meeting of the year that hey stepped up and turned the trick again Sunday, 3--0. ^Spots'* Thurlwell was in the same old form and held his rivals to two lonely little singles, one by Britz in the first and one by Seb Whiting in the fourth. After that but four A's reached base, one on an error and three on walks. Sick suviiia step in bins iOi a Suture of the praise, even though he was the11 losing pitcher. The Waukegan southpaw yielded but one hit during the eight innings he worked, but this one was enough to get the Locals off to a lea'd in the third inning, a lead that •was never threatened. Eddie Thennes was the lucky boy that dropped a rather poppy fly just inside the right field line where it fell for a twobagger. Each pitcher struck out four men but Bick held the edge inasmuch as he worked but eight innings, giving way to Jack White1 to allow the newcomer to show his wares to the fats. Bick walked two knd Spots issued thrfefc free passes. The first inning yielded much promise but few runs for the A'S Britz singled with one out and went to second after Teddy Anderson's return throw escaped the infield. He got to third on another wild heave, this time by Geier, but neglected to take full advantage of the wildnees and as a result remained on third. Again in the second there was an opportunity to furnish a damaging hit, but none was forthcoming. While was safe on an error by Bennett to start the session. He stole second and remained there while Mel Whiting flied to center, took third on an infield out and died there when Anderson also threw out J. Freund. Twas the third that saw the Locals swing into action with their only hit of the day. Bick took the deadly poison of walking the first man to face him. Thurlwell popped to White, but Thennes dropped a high one in safe territory and Anderson went to third. Bennett rolled one to White on first and White made the mistake of winding up before he threw home and Anderson scored with the first run of the game. Thennes also scored when Pfannenstill rolled to Smith, having gone to third on the play at the plate. Seb Whiting got his single in the fourth, but was out stealing, so nothing came of it. From then until the ninth not an Athletic reached second except Smith, whose walk was followed by another to White, who had then taken over the pitching duties for the losers. The Locals weren't doing much better as they went out in order from the fourth to the eighth. In the eighth Britz pulled the unbelievable by dropping a fly by Thurlwell for a two-base error.

McHenry and Co. I, the other entrants, tied for second place with 891 apiece. Elgin slipped off 919 for a decisive win. Rob Thompson and Herb Freund led the locals with IRS *n<4 189 tively, but it took the work of every member of the team to earn a second place tie, inasmuch as Co. I's best mark was 187, five points higher than Thompson's mark; - Fehrman, the old troublemaker, and Alkire each shot a remarkable 187, but were topped by Hawthorne with 188, the high mark of the meet. Gordon's 173 held down their total but they didn't need his help. The match was fired June 12 over the Elgin Rifle club's outdoor range, each member firing twenty shots at 200 yards using the decimal target. The 100-yard small bore match scheduled for June 12 has been postponed until next Sunday, June 19.

JPickl** Long Enjoyed Those who know pickles, both modern and historical, probably know that the art of pickling certain vegetables is as ancient as the heyday of Pompell, from which explorers, after 2,000 years since Its destruction, dug ©ut pickled olives which still retained thefr, characteristic flavor.

The children had been having a big time swinging from one pile of baled hjy to another by means'of a heavy pulley which had been used to pull the hay into the barn, but Winifred swung once too often for the wire that held Jhe pulley broke, letting her fall to the floor of the barn, then hitting her on the head in its descent. She received a broken arm, a bruised eye and hip and two severe scalp wounds in addition to other bruises. She is recovering from her injuries nicely. SHAMROCKS WIN FROM CRYSTAL LAKE The Shamrocks had little trouble in beating the Crystal Lake Black Sox last Sunday afternoon, despite the fact that several members of the Shamrocks could not see the ball. Glossen pitched air-tight baseball in the pinches and should have had a shutout. A poor (decision on first gave Crystal Lake two runs in the first inning and poor judging of a fly ball by Stilling and a wild throw by Witt gave them a run in the "sixth and ninth innings. Wally Smith led the team at bat by getting three hits and a walk. Wally started the season as a pitcher and outfielder, but due to injuries he was shifted over to first base. Here he has developed into one of the best first basemen that caa be found. Next Sunday's opposition is not yet known but whatever team it is, Bill Kreutzer will be on the mound for the Shamrocks with Dick "What ft Man" Witt behind the plate.
