Frank is an old timer at the game and has had plenty of experience with the old McHenry White Sox under the Dick Walsh regime. They tell me that Pete Schaefer, the pronundnt (net ir, stature) grocer from the1 West Side, is keeping an eye out for stray baseballs these days since he intercepted Janitor Joe's snap throw in an indoor game the other night.

It will be the determining game of the series for McHenry must win in order to tie th« fast-stepping downriver nine. Even if they do win, the boys must take Algonquin into camp in the playoff of the game that ended in a tie. Considering the fact that McHenry has already defeated Cary once this Reason they should be all set to repeat. A rather large following is expected to accompany John Bolger and Ray Howard when they take the lads southward to do battle. Spealdng of hard luck hitting, my attention has been called to the fact that Mel Whiting has been pounding the ball hard but is getting nowhere with his batting average. Upon looking it up it was found that he hasn't fanned since the Decoration Day game at Crystal Lake when he was called out in his last turn at bat. Since that time he hasfiied out eight out of twelve times, but hasn't succeeded in placing one of them safely for a hit. And neither has he scored a run this season. This fact wasn't mentioned by a team member nor it it just "soft By a system of "fines" for salmon caught, for stags and other game killed out of season and for not going to church, Mre. J. L.

The sea son's record to date now stands at five won and four lost, not any too im presSivo a record when the paper records of the players are considered- JWoody was on the mound for Mc Henry and appeared none too impressive. The former Valley League hurler seemed to be having trouble with his control and the Lakers pick led his cripples for a total of twelve hits though some of them were of the fluke type. He struck out eight and walked but one. Buhrow kept McHemy's six hits well scattered except in the third when the A's collected a run after two were out on Moody's double over Koch's head and Harold Freund's secimd single over second. After that only two men reached second. Britz stole second after he had forced Smith, who had singled "in the fourth, and Bick got to the keystone sack when Joe Freund got the only walk issued by Baggy with Bick on first as a result of an error by S&effeid, who had replaced Sund at short, when Sund retired due to a pain in his side in the sixth. It was the only error committed by the Lakers. Knipfel singled with two down in the first when he smashed one at Moody that was too hot to handle. Nothing came of it as Heiman fouled out P. Koch singled in the third with two out and stole second, but died there when Whiting threw out Another IGA hit went to in the fourth when Knipfel with a single, was sacrificed to Went to third on an infield out and died there when Moody fanned Eiserer. But the fifth was different. Flotow that with a double to left cenflied to Smith in right field but Buhrow sliced a single down the right field line that scored Flotow. Koch walked but nothing more resulted except a tie score. The first two men went down in the sixth before the fireworks broke loose. Then Eiserer, who had fanned in his two previous attempts, tripled down the right field line. Flotow singled him home and Sund moved him to second with another safety. Baggy then duplicated his first 'hit and Smith made a perfect peg home to nab Flotow, but Catcher Joe inadvertently dropped the ball in the resulting collision.^ Whiting again ended the inning by throwing out Koch. From then on Moody seemed to regain his old zip and retired the Lakers in order in the seventh and eighth but ran into another snag in the last chanter.

It was then the result of two poor decisions in the eighth inning that lo^t the game. The umpire seemed to have a grwdge against the Shamrocks, for whenever they got a base he would call them out if he had "half a chance. 'S Stilling started*; t®e( team on the right path to,,victory by stretching an ordinary double into a home run. (Too bad he didn't run like this in the track meet.) Jones Park came right back andi scored three runs in their half of the first. Here the Shamrocks began to show the old Irish fight and came from behind to tie the score in the seventh at five all. Then came the two mental lapses of the umpire and the ball game was over. Harold Wolck hit a triple to score two runs in the fourth inning and George Larkin and Wally Smith doubled in the sixth to score two more. The Shamrocks were without the sendees of their captain, Clarence Smith, who 4s out with a seven? eye injury. Ray Howard wa* nlso absent Sunday- Next Sunday the Shamrocks will journey , to Ringwood.

Thurlwell pitched steady, consistent ball tc win handily. He allowed nine widely scattered hits and performed well in the pinches. Sonny Smith has finally overcome a batting slump and reeled off four nice hits, while Bennett pulled in two.^ Thennes has the distinction of making the longest hit, a triple. The Locals took the lead from the start and were not threatened the remainder of the game. Bennett was safe on the shortstop's error, reached second on Geier's sacrifice and scored on the first of Sonny's four hits. In the second Thorsell walked, moved to second when Walkington was hit on the shin, and scored on Bjpnnett's first hit. The fifth saw two more runs score when Walkington, Smith, Schroeder and T. Anderson singled. The ninth proved the undoing of Caster, as Thennes' triple and singles by Bennett, Smith and Geier and an error pushed over three more markers. Fox Lake scored one run on a balk in the third and the other one in the fifth on hits by Custer, Be jack and Sunday, June 26, the Locals, better known as the Sums, travel to Union.
