This summer has been Irather a disappointing one for the anglers and the cheering word will no doubt entice many local Isaac Waltons to the vacation land- CRYSTAL LAXE VICTIM OF A S EIGHTH IN ROW ' m 1/ 11 Crystal Lake's IGA nine came to McHenry all buoyed up for a real victory last Sunday and touched up Artie Dieball for a pair of hits and two runs in the first inning to get off to a flying start in the race for county championship honors. With Buhrows on the mound they felt that they could hold the two-run advantage and the^gjjy earn the title of county Champs. However, the first four men hit Buhrows safely and the two-run lead faded away to a negative one and Dieball then became so stingy with his hits that they didn't receive another safety until the sixth inning when Ganske grot a single. Joe Freund led the attack on Buhrow and Sund, who relieved him, with four hits in his first four trips to the plate- Fred Johannes kept up his average* with two doubles, one of them driving in the third run in the first inning. Bohart went out meekly enough to start the game, but Ganske was safe when Bacon's Wide, hurried throw was dropped by Freunrt on first. Flotow then doubled to left center, scoring Ganske. Heiman singled through the box to drive in Flotow and the Crystal Lake section was mighty prominent in the noise making. Rogers forced Heimfcn and Eiserer fanned as an indication of what was in store for them. H. Freund led off with a single over second and went to second on a wild pitch. Brodman singled to left on the ground and H. Freund scored. With the outfield playing quite close I. Johannes sent one to the cornfield in left for a triple. F. Baggy Buhrow, Crystal Lake jhurler, who faced the A's Sunday was ibadly off form and was greeted w'th quite a barrage of hits that finally iv in fV.Q oivf^ PorTA-ir Q0UM6, LOOALflLOeE TWO GAMES OYER WEEK-END It-Beems as though the Locals have gone up in the air and have become the Bums once again. They took the short end in both games of the double header, 7-0 and 13-5. The support in both games was ragged,, with bonehead plays down to real errors. Hardly any player escaped unscathed. Nick Keller's A. C. got their first rally under way by an error after which the team fell completely apart and lost all chances of winning: At Barrington the Locals must have made about six errors in one inning to tops the game away. There were about fifteen errors during the entire game. There was nothing outstanding in either game except Spotty's eight strikeouts in five innings against the Keller aggregation, and Sonny Smith's two hits. Alvin Phaiincn- : still demonstrated his value as a relief hurler in the Barrington game. This was his first chance and much more will be heard from him soon- He has the boys 'baffled with his knuckle ball. Sunday, Sept. 18, the Locals engag A TRtJB SHOBT BtQRt Mc&enry, among many other things is mighty proud of a local citizen wh6 has had many inspirations of an inventive turn and likes to be known as the Edison of McHenry. Now Brother Miller, not satisfied with possessing the patent on the best flyswatter on the market, as well as on the most weediest of the weedless variety of fishhook, had another brilliant inspiration the other day but somehow or other it didn't work out so well in the end. It all happened like this. You see, Joe Miller is quite an ardent follower of the recently revived sport of pitching horseshoes and, *by persistent' practice in his l>ackyar<}, both before and after darft7 has become rather adept at the sport. He was recently invited to the summer cottage of John Aylward to indulge in a little friendly match along with some of the other oldtimers who are frequent visitors at the friendly fireside of-the Aylwarcis*j- John has one of the finest horseshoe courts in this vicinity, the ground being rather clayey, which makes a firm surface upon which to pitch the digto redeem themselves for the two week-end trimmings. This game will be the filial of five games to determine the championship of the city. "Spots" and "Hoopy" will be ready to down the A's in the rubber game. SHAMROCKS LOSE SLOW GAMS, 4 TO 3 Greenwood evened the count with the Shamrocks for the season's play by winning 4 to 3 last Sunday. Both Johannes! teams looked pOor on bases as the drove a double over Heiman's head fact that five men were caught wanin center and was out trying to make it another triple, Heiman to Sund. The outfield then played considerably deeper. Bacon and Frett both rolled to the infield- McHenry added another in the fourth on J. Freund's second hit, a •drove him to cover in the sixth- Baggy, „ , and Dieball'_s ,w alk. H: ididn't like the id^a of losing this odd Freu™ ^riflced and Brodman got a «ame to the Athletics, but has the|scrateh hlt to 8core Freund- L Jo" jsatisfaction of having them among his •victims of the year as he trimmed ' them 4--1 earlier in the schedule. Jim McMillan, well known Grays- Jake wrestler, will most likely make 'good use of his ninety-day enforced /vacation, takeji tat the order of the wrestling commission, who ruled that ,ihe, as well as Ehxsek, was responsible for the rough bout of last week that was ^Warded to Jim on a foul and will probably visit friends in this, part of the country. - McHenry High School eleven will "play Barrington next Saturday in the opening game of the season. Coach Orr will have a fairly strong first string, but his reserve material is below standard unfess some new developements come forth soon. There will be two games starting at 1 ;80 o'clock, the lights playing the dirst tilt. The McHenry Locals loat to Kellar's All Stars of Waukegan last Saturday afternoon in a poor exhibition. Kellar3 . proved to be too much for the disgruntled Spots and his routed support. ; Manager Wolf reports that he wiil have a rejuvenated outfit on the field . . . . Sunday to back Spots in his attempt I 'or ® to take the third game of the five- *ot away from F!otow game series from the .-Athletics fur -the city championship. T"" hannes singled to right and filled the bases- F. Johannes popped to the infield, but nobody wanted it)" It wound up with Sund dropping the ball on "a last minute charge, but he recovered in time to fc-'e Dieball at the plate, he having become lost somewhere on his journey homeward. Three more hits were used in the fifth to get another run. Bacon got on when he beat out a bunt to open I the sixth. He stole second and went j all the way to third when Buch, the imported catcher, threw to center field. Britz laid down a perfect bunt to score- Bacon and beat it out for a hit. Fay flied out to the shortstop in short left but J- Freund kept things going with his third hit. Dieball forced J. Freund at second. Dieball gave up his first hit since the first inning in the sixth to break the one-tWo-three sequence for the Lakers and the Athletics became so alarmed at the apparent weakening that they went out and got themselves four runs in their half with some nice help by the losers. It all started peaceably enouglf with Brodman flying to Ehlert and/ Heiman throwing out I. Johannes. Brother Fred then doubled to right center and scored when Bacon's fly to right was lost in the sun by Rogers, the bail dering off base, will show. Glosson was unable to put the usual zip on his fast ball, due to the strong wind he had to pitch against- Thorna?. Greenwood pitcher, used a teasing curve ball that had the Shamrocks popping up to the infield constantly. Les Witt appeared in left field for the Shamrocks and drew a hand from the audience whenever he came to bat. Les met the ball square every time and with a little more size and weight should develop into one of the best batters in ^lese parts. Schaefer also appeared in the outfield and showed promise of becoming a long distance hitter. Due to in juries, Clarence Stilling, better known as "Speed" among his team-mates, will be out for the season. Manager Wolck will have several new players on hand by next Sunday. Sunday the Shamrocks are closing the season with a double- header.

Calling back to his memory the days when he was working industriously upon his patent fishhook and The many times He had trod the shores of the quaint old mill pond, Joe recalled that there were some deposits of blue clay that would be just tfce ideal substance with which to form a first cla#s horseshoe court- To fit the action to the thought is one of Joe's finest traits and early the next day Joe was to be found in the bed of the extinct mill pond laboring strenuously at the task of gathering enough of the blue clay to fill two old, discarded casings which he had fitted with wooden floors. Sinking these in the ground after carefully measuring the proper distance was but the work of a few more hours and then Joe sprinkled them down and went out to seek his friends to show them his upto- date achievement which he had planned to display to them only after it was all completed. Joe proudly marched his comrades into his rear yard and, with a proud wave of his hand, asked, "What do you think of this idea for a horseshoe court?" "What do we shoot for, the tires?" asked an, interested but bewildered spectator. Joe had forgotten the stakes! The McHenry Athletics, primed for' victory over the Locals next Sunday in the odd gam© of the five-game i series for the city championship, vill present Dieball to them with a rec< r 1 of seven straight wins. The Athletic; themselves are fresh from tfct if eighth victory in a row, the eighth being a thrilling victory over Crystal Lake's IGA nine last Sunday after ! shotting the Lakers two runs in +he first inning.
