Where will the Cubs be next year"? Maybe first, mabe third, but they'll be fighting under Charlie Grimm. Seems that McHenry's playground ball team was a little rough with the opposition at the Republican picnic Sunday and literally mopped the floor with their opponents trimming Woodstock and Cary decisively with Pflug doing the speed balling. Krause handled the second game against the River Rats and would have fared nearly as well but somehow or other left field was a bit rough during this tiifce of the day and the ball wavered in the air.

H'HXKRY WIKB TITLE AT REPUBLICAN PICHIO McHenry's presentsti^e ten wadod through three different playground ball teams to emerge victorious in the tournament held Sunday in connection with the Republican picnic held at Fox River. Grove. The indoor games were one of the big features of the day and attracted a large share of attention as there were squads from Huntley, Crystal Lake, Harvard, McHenry, Cary, Fox River Grove, Woodstock and an aggregation kntwn as the River Rats, entered in the competition. McHenry trounced Cary in the finals 7--0 with but little trouble and were undisputed champs as they had previously bested Woodstock, 14- after leading them 14--0, and then defeated the River Rats, 9--7, errors letting in the majority of tbe losers* runs. Harrison If, Schreiner cf, Thennes 3b, Pflug and Krause p, Downs c, Winkel Is, Green 2b, S Whiting rf, Granger lb, Ffank Meyers rs» The winners were presented with small binnacle lanterns, a very attractive prize, while the losers in the finals were the re dpients of pocket knives. Pflug was invincible while on the mound, his fast one zipping over so suddenly that the opponents were hopelessly showed up at the plate. Green went in with,*the score 14--0 and Woodstock gathered their entire total of seven runs off his soft ones. Krause worked the game against the River Rats and would have gone through with but little trouble except for weak support in the outfield. Pflug then returned for the third and final contest against Cary and held them at his mercy while his mates piled up enough runs for victoff. Auto Drivers Can Save Game by Flicking Lights Washington.--The motorists who runs down a wild animal or bird on the highway may not realise that he is helping, probably without deliberate intention, to swell one of the most Impressive death lists in the lives of small game creatures, declares a bulletin of the American Game association. 4 With game commissions and sportsmen striving in numerous ways to save and restore wild game for its tremendous recreational and economic value, many states have launched educational Campaigns during the tourist season to reduce game mortality doe to thoughtless driving. Most of the animals are killed at night Lights blind them. Flicking the lights to dim or slowing down will save them, and in the case of larger creatures, such as deer, may also save the drivers from a dangerous crash. Aged Man Trades House for Perpetual Income Newark, N. J.--When George von Eff was seventy he had a three-family house but no income So he traded his home for a life income of $1 a day, a meal a day, the privilege of living in a small building in the rear, and the promise of a decent burial. His $1 a day went for magazines and knick-knacks. Now the Bridgin family, who got the house, has kept the final clause of the contract--they have given the old man a decent buriaL Von Eff upset a kerosene lamp and burned to death.

Kreutzer, Schoewer and Thurlwell handled the mound assignment for the winners with Mike Schaefer, stalwart right hander, going the route for the Johnsburgers and turning in a neat performance. Schaefers work showed great ^improvement over his first appearance here. Five singles were garnered off the trio of pitchers used by the A's and but two of them figured in the scoring. The A's slammed out the meager total of six safeties, but three of them were of the extra base variety, Brits and Whiting getting doubles and Thurlwell contributing a triple. The Athletics climbed into a tworun lead in the second whtln errors by C. Smith and L. Freund allowed two men to get on and then Mel Whiting came through with a line double to left which Scored them both. Johnsburg got their first run on singles, by E. Smith and L. Freund after Leo Freund had walked. Leo scored on an infield out. Their next counter occurred in the following inning, the fourth, when Campbell went back lazily and muffed a long fly by Charlie Smith. Bacon then allowed Hettermann's popup to short left to drop safely and Smith scored the tying run. Schaefer went along smoothly until bunts routed his mates in the seventh to push over the winning runs. Gus Freund bunted safely and Frett followed with a similar play. Brits laid down a perfect sacrifice, but was nipped at first for the first out of the inning. Arnold Anderson, recruited from the Locals along with Spots, worked the squeeze play to perfection and Gus scored. Bacon then grounded to Leo Freund at short and he messed it up, allowing Frett to score the last run. Next Sunday the real classic of the season will take place with the newly lined up Athletics facing their dd castoffs in a friendly match. The visitors' lineup will consist of LaBahn, Schoemaker, Ervin, Mickey Johnson, Del and Stub Dahn, Walter and A. Buhrows and Jenners, all of whom have played with the Athletics at one time or another during the past two years. There will be no admission charge, but the hat will be passed some time during the game to defray the expenses.

The heavyweights' defeat was bitterly contested. It proved a battle of two rugged lines, with McHenry Warriors holdlhg a slight edge advantage. Zimmerman, Warren's quarterback, and Ray Howard, fullback and captain of the McHenry Warriors, engaged in a sensational punting duel throughout the afternoon with honors in favor of Howard- Guy Duker helped Howard ijj; a few punts. The Blue Devils' first touchdown came early in the second quarter, after a block punt and a skirt aroutld Kinsala's end for the six points. McHenry scored a safety shortly after, when Zimmerman was backed out of bounds on A punt behind his own goal line. Warren picked up two more points in the fourth quarter when Ray Howard passed over Guy Duker's head on a punt and crossed the end line. Grang«y, Bouril, Duiker, Frisby,- Brefeld and Lay starred for the Warriors. The Gur&e Ponies found McHenry's lightweight team furnishing stubborn opposition all the way, but the lightweights were not equal to the task of stopping the Warren lino, which was almost two times as large as ours, thus going flown in defeat, 14 to 0.

The Insurance companies, it seems, are having to pay and pay and pay--more so than ever before In the history of the business. It is estimated th^t from $55,000,000 to $00,000,000 worth bt Jewelry was reported lost or stolen last year and in nearly all of the cases the claims were paid. The percentage of recovery was just about one-tenth of 1 per cent. But that is not all. The number of false claims is greater than ever before and in the majority of cases the, companies have to pay just the same," being unable to obtain positive proof of fraud, even though the circumstances are suspicious. . f- H * .Many Cases Frauds. • Ail executive of an aid}asHii£->i&a£ pany In John street--a company that1 represents fourteen of the largest insurance companies In the world--saya at least 90 per cent of the reported disappearance of Jewelry in 1931 wafi false. ' Such losses fall In the category of "mysterious disappearances" of jewelry, and last year saw an increase of about 50 per cent in the number of these strange. Inexplicable disappearances, claims totaling approximately $600,000 for the country at large. Most losses, however, were reported in New. 'York city. "As I said, we have reason to believe that at least 90 per cent of Buch claims are false," said the executive, who asks that his name be not used, "but we seldom are able to prove the fraud so we try to effect a compromise to avoid litigation." Old man Depression, who never Is let out of anything these days, gets the blame "Most of the losses are reported by persons at one time wealthy," the executive explained, "but who have had reverses. Ever so often we get claims of losses almost Immediately after serious reverses in business. Such cases look suspicious on the face of them nine times out of ten, but, as usual, proof Is lacking, so we pay." In only one case the company handled last °$ear did the claimant, a woman, confess fraud. Her reported loss was investigated so persistently and she was questioned so thoroughly that, she finally wilted and admitted her Jewels were nestling in a vault, safe from loss. The claim was dropped and the Insurance company obligingly forgot to prosecute In addition to the "Mysterious" losses, this particular company handled claims totaling close to $1,000,000 as the result of holdups and burglaries in 1931. This represents an increase of about 75 per cent over 1930. Claims Falling Off. '^Claims have been falling off steadfly this year," the executive continued, "mainly because so many were pressed "la, 1931. Last year we were getting Jn average of 160 claims a month, jqople once wealthy became hard up. Suddenly their Jewelry disappeared. In, most cases there were suspicious circumstances, but in the absence of proof we had to pay., .o "Xou see, most Jewelry policies are written to insure against any sort of lose, and losses are difficult to check up. A woman can say she accidentally dropped her bracelet from a ferryboat. What can we do? How can we prove that she did not? We have to pay the claim." Another unusual aspect of the business since the depression Is that almost Invariably those who have supposedly lost their Jewelry refuse offers of replacement. They want cash. The companies usually offer to replace the lost or Stolen Jewelry, but last year only 5 per cent of the claimants accepted the offer.
