Leo Freund started on the mound for Johns burg and allowed nary a hit in the five innings he remained there. Mike Schaefer finished the game and gave up but ttcree safeties in four innings. • A special feature in the ninth found Bullet Joe Miller, famous hurler of days gone by, batting for Haider-man. Joe got a walk and tsnen called on Adam Bildner to run for him. Adam consented, white pants and all, and eventually crossed home plate with the second run for Richmond. Quite unusual indeed for Johnsburg's mayor to go in for a pinch runner for the opposition and score a run against his own ladsl *• • .

Lefty Bill, who got some pood experience last year in Chicago, seems to have all his situff and will most likely be elevated to more than a relief spot before many moons. The Spring Grove Brewers, with ample a Stance from a weak Shamrock defense, made a terrible mess of opening day at Shamrock Field as far pj the Irish Prairie lads, were concerned. The final score was 13-9 but reached that? quite respectable stage after Spring Grove had let up a little in the late innings. The Brewers jumped into a twt> run lead in the first inning and had stretched it to nine by the time they had rolled around the fifth one (inning). After that the Shamrocks made a gallant effort to get back in the ball game but Britz halted them every time it looked as if they might get started. , One bright spot of the game for the Shamrocks was the relief hurling of Lefty Bill Kreutzer. He worked three complete innings, gave nip one walk and one hit and sent six men down Via the swinging route. Next Sunday at Shamrock field the Volo Cubs will make their first appearance with "Si" Thorsell in its lineup. The Cubs scored a much protested victory over fhe (Shamrocks early in the season and the boys are cut for revenge. To make matters found something to cheer them up more interesting they have even scrapwith Bill Kreutzer hurling some re- )ed the coffers for enough mazuma to make up a purse for the winners. Johnsburg had an eas»y time with Richmond and won 13 to 6, but the score was only half as interesting as a ninth-inning episode of the ganv. Joe Miller, formerly the Bullet Joe of Johnsburg fame, now manager of the Richmond aggregation, went in to bat for Halderman in the ninth, and pot a base on balls. He then called upon Adam Bildner, mayor of Johnsburg, to run for him and the pluckv little mayor did, white pants and all ?nd eventually scored Richmond's recond run. Seems like most of those eld timers up there know how to break the wind while running bases. The averages of Johnsburg's leading sluggers all took a stump in facing Jerome Miller, Richmond hurler, despite the fact that Johnsburg won easily. Oeffling sprung into the lead for his team when he cracked out three out of five to boost his average to .412 for the season. Shamrocks AB B H Whiting, 2b ....^1... ..5 3 3 W.

In the opener against Crystal Lake he fanned eighteen men and then raised the ante to twentj when Marengo came to town. If you haven't seen thi9 lad work, come out and get a good night's pleasure out of trying to watch the ball. Pflug is still a little wild with the twelveinch ball, having been more accustomed to using the fourteen-inch, the one that the MMAC's are using at the park. ' • • The MMACf have started the feearon and are to play their games at the city park as usual. The lineups have all been adjusted this year, but Prank Schreiner is still on the job as score-keeper. There are but few new faces in the rosters of the teams, but the men have been switched in an effort to make the race aa close as posnble. Bones Sfoith, the champion hamburger eater of days gone by, was at the Marengo-McHlenry soft ball game the other night and along about the fifth inning, with McHenry way out in front, began to wonder how long the slaughter would last so yelled out and asked one of the players whofce onTy retort was, "Until it gets dark." Bones went home. In a game marked by loose fielding and free hitting the Standard Oils defeated the Schaefer's Grocers by a score of 18 to 15 on Tuesday evening. Art Krause helped himself to four hits, two of which were home runs. Joe RotKermel and J. Weber were two others to connect for four hits each.

Coach Metcalf haa a well-balanced squad this year and it is the best in the county by quite a margin. However, Mcrwin of Woodstock was the only county p.thlete to make the trip to Champaign for the State Track meet. „ He didn't win the pole vault, but he dirt go up over twelve feet, so he needn't feel that his trip' was in vain. This lad ftill has another year of high school competition and here's hoping that he continues to improve. 18 21 *28 Schaefer's Grocers R H PO Schaefer, Iss ....................

The qualifying round for the Pouse Cup competition was held last Sunday and next Sunday morning sixteen lucky members of the McHenry Country Club will start the annual playr- ffs to decide just who it is that will have possession of the cup for the next year. The match is a handicap event so the boys with the big handicaps will be the ones that will have the best chance of getting their names inscribed, unless more rain soaks the course and gives the long hitting players their advantage. HOME BUREAU ANNUAL MEETING JUNE 29 Pickles Bohr and Howie Pflug pro- .xidedsthe fans with a real treat in the Marengo game when they hit successive homers. Pickles was a little lucky as the center fielder fell down chasing the long fly, but Howie's was lined over the left fielderV head in no uncertain manner. McHenry's soft ball game again had a thriller with Crystal Lake when the Lakers this time succeeded in tying the score in the ninth inning, but McHenry eventually won 4 to 3 in the tenth inning. Friday night the local aggregation travels to Woodstock to fight it out for the league leadership, Woodstock having been the only team to trim MeHenry. The next home game will be Friday, June 1, with Walworth providing the opposition unless an exhibition game is scheduled for Decoration Day. The game it Walworth last Monday night w»* rained out and will be played at a later date.

The eighteen-year-old stepson, Vadja (>aileTittch, was blessed with a good allowance and the best of clothes, but that <wfcs not enough. Allegedly at thtf Instigation of Algirdas Puljda, twenty-four, he began to look longingly at the safe. the police say the two planned long and carefully. They rejected a scheme to piftsk themselves and shoot Skema. Gas, administered In some cunning and roof&atic way, was much better. iBgnippeil with all necessary paraphernalia, the two youths broke Into the notary's office one Sunday night Two glasses of chemicals were set on the desk and attached to the door handle with string. The idea was simple. Skema would open the door*4he glasses would tip over, and the fluids mingle, forming a gas which, according to calculations would kill the notary within five seconds. Armed with gas masks, the l>alr was to enter, nullify the gas with anothfr compound, and place a glass of pnQsslc acid in the dead man's hand, to simulate suicide. Police, however, had been warned by Skema of his premonition and caught the would-be murderers just after they had set their trap. STANDARD OILS J>$FEAT PARI Art Krause, for the victors, had the edge on Earl Conway in what proved more or less of a pitchers battle at the city park play grounds last Thursday evening when the Standard Oils defeated the Park Sides by a score of 7 to 5. ^ Al. Justen, of the Park Sides, enjoyed a perfect evening at bat, wiih three singles and a double on four trips to the plate. He also contributed a neat fielding play on a perfect throw to third base which nailed George Stilling who tried to make the far corner from first on a Single to deep center by Rothermel.
