The West aiders won the latest contest 18-7 With little Petie Schaefer handcuffing the sluggers from, over the creek. This makes it one all and the spectators are howling witll all the fervor of a crowd witnessing a bull fight for the final battle to be fOUght. ...y.v Fifteen hitsin each of the holiday games brought the batting averages of the Locals up to an envious mark. Schroeder, re-instated in the good graces of the management after being out most of the season, is leading the sluggers with a .429 mark. Huppy Smith follows with .410, Arnie Anderson has .388, Spots. 325, Pfannenstil, 313, Whiting 307, Geier 304, Thorsell 300 and Teddy Anderson, who played during his furlough from the government construction camp, 206. LOCALS WIN AND LOSE IN HOLIDAY CONTESTS The prospects for & winning football team at McHenry high his year received a severe setback with the news that Coach Orr was operated on i for appendicitis last week. Nick Mil-! ler, former student at McHenry high; and a graduate of the coaching school at Illinois is teaching Orr's classes but it is quite to be expected that he will not tamper with -Orr's method of coaching. Just what the outcome will be until Orr's arrival Is.-not known atl present. To Coach Orr's fight for a, rapid recovery many McHenry friends are adding their best wishes. Those boat races Monday, the first staged heire in several years, brought out the largest crowd of people ever seen along the barks of the Fox at McHenry or anywhere else. A rather loose estimate placed the number at about five thousand though it was impossible to gain a very accurate count Both bridges and every pier for blocks frtum the starting point were just over run with spectators. More power to the newly organized Rod and Boat club that is supervising these races, the next of which are to be held one week from next Sunaay. The plans are to get well organized this ye«r«) that next season no time w5H be lost in the spring of the year. .. The McHenry Locals divided two games over the week-end by winning from DesPlaines in a one-sided^ contest, 14-0 with Spots Thurlwell hurling two hit ball, and then suddenly reversing their form to take it on the chin from Fox Lake in a free hitting g£yne, 7-& Spots allowed 12 hits in the Monday game. The Locals banged out fifteen safeties in each game but couldn't combine them successfully Labor Day. The Sunday game against „ Des Flaines was, a walk away right from the start with the Locals piling up their runs, two by two, until the score stood 10-0 at the end of the sixth. Lynk was the only man to hit Spots and he collected both hits for his team. In view-of the fact that Thurlwell was due to pitch again the next day, he retired in favor of Pfan renstil in the seventh and 'Pfunny1 only allowed one hit, this also going to Lynk of the visitors. Five Straight hits opened the Mc Henry half of the first inning against' Fox Lake and it looked like it was all over but the shouting but Gerretson stepped in with a different brand, of music to replace McCune. The five hits accomplished three runs and this lead lasted until the third inning when the Lakes duplicated the feat on two hits, an- error and a passed ball, and All this despite the fact that a double play from Teddy Anderson, home from the camp over the holiday, in center field to Geier at first helped to clear up the situation. The Locals got four more hits in the fourth that broke the tie- with two runs, Arnie Anderson's double af ter singles by Whiting, Thurlwell and Huppy Smith accounting for the runs Then the Lakers broke loose again in their half of the fifth and tied the score with a single by Adams, Morrison's double and a one-bagger by McCune. A hit batsman and a walk brought in what looked like the winning run for the Locals in the sixth with the aid of Huppy Smith's second productive hi* but from then on they were stopped cold- It would have won for them but for errors In the ninth that upset the whole team and allowed the Lakers to push over two runs to win the game on one hit. This despite the fact that three hits in the seventh and two in the eighth could get them no vken. Sonny Smith was out of the lineup which necessitated considerable shifting. Schroeder went In to catch, Ar nie moved to third base and Whiting went to second. Huppy Smith was at short with Geier on first. In the outfield Thorsell, Pfannenstil and Ted Anderson took care of things.
