Phone 58-J Up-to-date Merchandise at all times at bottom prices 1 DRY GOODS GROCERIES BOOTS AND SHOES CROCKERY GLASSWARE $ % A few of the candidates for this year's baseball club appeared for practice at the baseball park last Sunday afternoon, bttt before their work of the d[ay jcctuld be completed they were driven t» shelter by the rain. Those out for the first practice and who are likely to try for a place on | the team were Walter Warner, P. J. Dorr, Joe Michels, Mitchell, Meyers and Caspers. Of the home boys Dorr and Michels looked particularly good, the former handling himself nicely in the outer garden, . while Michels showed himself to be perfectly at home in the infield. Dorr also loolced particularly good with the willow. While it is hard to judge from the first day's work-out, these two young men are sure to put in strong bids for permanent positions, while War­ ner is almost sur# to make the team, as, his performances during the past two seasons have been quite satis­ factory. Manager Walsh was a bit disap­ pointed in seeing so few of the home boys report for Sunday's practice and try-out and hopes that every player with any baseball in him "will be at the park next Sunday afternoon ready for" hard work. It is the manager's desire to give the %ome players every opportunity to make the team and if there are any ball players residing in or around Mc­ Henry who wish to try for positions they Tnust report to the manager next Sunday. The manager also ex­ pects a number of the old members of the club to put in an appearance next Sunday afternoon. Sahlberg, Brailsford, Koob, Bowen and Grant will likely report as well - as a few new-comers, who want to try for positions. The manager has also requested us to say that only three responded to the call for help at the park Jast Sat­ urday afternoon and1 that another at­ tempt will be matk? the coming Satur­ day to get the playing field in some sort of shape for Sunday's practice and' it is hop^d tljpt a large number of volun teerl^iiWbe on hand early, armed with any kind of garden tools. He has also aske^ Us to call atten­ tion to .the public meeting which will be held at the village hall here next Saturday- evening, May 20, at which tim*» pjilns for the sp»a(in will be talked over. If you are interested in baseball ^nd wfint to see a success made of the sport in McHenry the coming season it is up to you to at­ tend this meeting. .. Any and all sug­ gestions will be given ^very consider­ ation. According to present plans the sea­ son will be officially-opened in Mc­ Henry on Sunday, May .28. Just who their opponents will^be on this occa­ sion is not known at this time, altho the manager is naw, negotiating with a team that is sure to give McHenry a stiff argument or/the day that the baseball lid is pried in McHenry. AN EXCELLENT CAST At |i» Central Opera Ho^ae Sunday Evening, May 21 'The Running Fight," besides be­ ing an extraordinarily well filmed production of an interesting story, has a cast of exceptional quality.

Under the management of the late Charles Frohman, when Miss Hem­ ing was but twelve, she played Wendy" in Peter Pan. After this she was cast as Rebecca in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." Following this came many more notable parts until at the age pf fifteen she became Al­ bert Chevalier's leading lady in "Daddy Du Ford." Then came "The Fox," "The Deep Purple," "Disraeli," in which she was .Associated with George Arliss. t Miss Heming's successes are al­ most too numerous , to mention. Then there is Thurlow Bergen. During his brilliant stage career he has played-at being governor in ten states- and' congressman representing three of them. • Mr. Bergen was a lawyer at nineteen, possibly this ac­ counts for the fact that he makes such a splendid governor in "The Running Fight." 0 Robert Cain, as district' attorney, is also an actor ftf vast experience, hav­ ing played in the "Misleading Lady," "He Comes up Smiling," "Goodnight, Nurse," "The Deep Purple," and sev­ eral others.

I am out of the hospital on trial. We have been digging trenches fo* five days and have four gun pits is; them, covered with trees transplant ed, so no aeroplane or anyone 100 yards away can see them: Expert trouble, as the artillery has to go op- mounted patrol nights down vke river to Point Isabel, seven miles down. Have a lookout on top of the wire­ less station with spy glasses and at the least thing happening at SSata- moras he signals to our battery Com­ mander. We carry our guns in our holster, loaded all the time. I am on stable police for a week now. While, in the hospital there were three fellows that had been shot by Mexicans, one in the leg, one in the shoulder and hip and one in the head. The fellow1 sleeping next to me in" our tent is Kathryn Heftning's brother of Chicago. He Is a big, tall blonde and a fine fellows, „ Am sending some pictures and a couple of Mexican dollars or pesos. There are quite a few fellows here that live within twenty and thirty miles of McHenry. We. have thirty- seven new mules breaking and be­ lieve me ^here are some awful falls taken unwillingly: May 9, 1916. Just a few lines to let you know what we are doing here. Night be­ fore last we had a raid a mile below us and they tried inhere, but we"got three before they got thru our picket line, I Vas on .guard and had'just made a round of the stables when I met an infantry sentry, and as we left I heard the crackling of brush and motioned to him to come. We heard a man speaking in a low voice and by the sound knew it wasn't English, so we challenged them. Just as we pulled our guns they came and we got behind some baled hay find iet go at them and in two minutes the whole gu&rd was there and they beat it to the brush and across the river. That same night Mexicans killed some people fifty miles down the river. The cavalry is leaving for across the river and the town is un­ der martial law and our camp also. I was on the target range today and shot eight out of twenty-two. Qual­ ified for shooting for a record, which if you make that you are a first-class and then shoot for pistol expert. I certainly was surprised, for I had never shot a pistol before. We have two machine guns stationed at the stables now and an extra guard, so the "Spicks" can't run our horses and mules away. Well must close for now. As ever, (Charles. Account Do not get the impression that it takes a great deal of money to have a checking account. It does not.
