WALSH I That f"*" with the crystal ball tobi up iftin with his prediction* on the coming major league baseball race. t That ™»" is none other than the famed Verne Harrison. In the American League he strings along !*tb the other experts in picking the Boston Red Sox. That prediction may be all right unless the Cleveland Indians hear about it and take the tftuatioa in hand. : 1 • But, listen'to the mail and Ms choice in the National League. He picks the St Louis Cardinals! When we got through advising f'fija to read up a bit more on this game of baseball, we got to thinking about that National League. Name an outstanding team in that senior group. We can't. Maybe the Boston Braves will get the pitching and hustle to come through again. A cagey manager helps their cause. The Cubs and Phillies may show Sough improvement to tighten the ce down to a humdinger. We dunno. The senior loop looks balanced, but without a -super team in the entire lot. * We can't see a team in the National that stacks up with the Red Sox, Indians or Yankees of the American League. If y»'i don't agree you are welcome to write and tell us so in no uncertain terms. ^The man with the crystal ball sadly informed us that our beloved White Sox will finish no better than in last place. Say it isn't so. m r. w. Lake Rich- The place. Cubs will finish The man said so. ill Jo! But, let's get back to our own back yard and let the majors work out their own standings. J^The McHenry County Baseball League looks like a nice dish for those of us who eat baseball. Ten teams are entered and all are trying to strengthen. Algonquin had a bunch of young fellows last year that will be batter wtth a year's experience under the belt. What's more they are reported to be coming up with added pitching strength. '4&rhe Woodstock Merchants are in the league and no foolin'. Norm Brits is reported to have swung over from the Alemlte nine .to the Merchants. That should be a good start in their infleld. Spring Qrove is a new entry in the league and the boys are out in great numbers for try-outs. Jim Schuldt will be back on the mound for Dundee. He's a real f^mer and will be an attraction. Oh past performances, Johnsburg will be the team to beat. They have balance and power. Manager Harry Freund will face the task of replacing Lloyd Freund at shuilntop. Uayd will be doing fcja best far make the Phillies sit up and take notice. Manager Bill Bolger hopes to get (he McHenry Shamrocks off to l flying start The tiam played Fviulai brand of ball last Tm& in spite of not winning the championship as many hat « pected. Dick Oonway was wMt te play regularly last season, Mt looked good at jso--d base. tNtkjiil t* this seasot Jhn Larkin was Injured in softball last year and his Mg bat was i^jsei plenty during his ab- 80--It looks like will start off with mora strength this year and could easily be the to beat Had a short talk with Math Niesen last Sunday, and lad him ready to start another season with us In the camp chair department of the baseball proceedings. Now, have to contact Walt Freund and try to get our camp chair lineup completed. The county league will have association umpires handling the games this year. That will eliminate the old "home umpire" business. No. matter how fair a local umpire may be, he is always sjibject to more than deserved criticism. ^Arrangements have been made ffir the local high school ball team to play all home games on the new city athletic Held diamond. Grant will be here next Tuesday afternoon. Watch the Sports Calendar for games. "Moee" will like this one: In the solid south teacher was claaifying a new pupiL "Who gave us this beautiful school?" she asked. ."President Roosevelt,** replied IA new student "Who gave us our wonderful transcontinental roads?" "President Roosevelt" "Who makes the trees grow and the flowers blossom?" "God," answered the pupil. At this point an angry voice from the rear cried. "Throw that' damm Republican out" And now we must get at the job of making a nest for the HP** Bunny. We can't wait for Sunday and all those new bonnets. May the sky be clear. H^ppy Easter! flrt hazards always IneretM tfaaably durlrg the winter sseeon. SCHEDULE DF COUNTY LOOP* BALL GAMES.

ERNEST M. 47-2 Johnsburg PackMg Plaht A yardstick of yard accidents was found by the National Safety t Council in a study of fatal home accidents locations recorded in tne state of Kansas and Nassau County, W. Y. j The yard was revealed as the I second most dangerous area of j the home premises. As might be ; expected, falls were the principal cause of death. j The Council said the study emphasizfs the importance of epplvi Ing safety planning to the entire : home premises, not just . the injttrior of the house. Porches, steps and sidewalks should be kept in good repair and well-lighted. Steps should be protected by a roof to prevent ice in winter. Cisterns, wells, excavated base- | ment window areas and other , holes or depressions^ in the yard should be guarded. Keep tools and rubbish picked up. Be sure ladders are in good condition and | used properly. Clothes lines should be six feet above ground, and they should not cros* . sidewalks. , Baseball April 19--Grant vs. MCHS--Here.
