BACON'S STRIP j*?' iEKE" BACON Hack Wilson seems to be on Ms •way to a new National League homerun record. Hack collected his thirtysixth Tuesday and has only eight to go to break the record set by Chuck Klein of the Phillies last year. The following schedule has been announced by W. J. Freund, booking manager for the MAACS. Next Sunday, Aug. 10, Johnsburg at McHenry; Aug. 17, Dundee Peerless at Dundee (tentative); Aug. 24, Algonquin at McHenry; Aug. 31, Union Giants at JicHenry. Looks like not much rest for the boys in the near future. Ed. Tonyan, after pitching a great game against th^ Union Giants, was just unfortunate enougli to hare an off day at perhaps his most inopportune moment, the day the MAACS played Johnsburg. During the entire nine innings he worked against the colored lads Ed. walked nayry a ma* and hit but one batter. In th» Johnsburg game he allowed but seven hits, but hit two and walked feix, qjk of the poorest pftcbed |--in tai-.<lus career. Announcement has been made that some day in the near future a feed will be handed out to the baseball playing members of the lleHenxy County Junior Legion nines. Hack Wilson, Cliff Heathcote and other celebrities of the national pastime are to be "among those present" if plans of John L. McCabe, district supervisor of Legion athletics, don't go wrong. Boys are warned to watch for the date, but are asked not to try to break any endurance records for fasting between now and then. The playground ball game between Rineheimers of Elgin and McHenry's picked gang must have been a wow from all report^. Herb Freund and his gang put up a great fight and man aged to hold the Watch City stars to a five all count until the eighth inning when the game was called on account of darkness. A return match willl be played at McHenry next Friday (tomorrow) night at the high school. The last time the Elginites visited McHenry a very large mob turned out and watched the home boys lose a tough <*-5 verdict. To listen to some of the baseball fans talk it makes one think that the MAACS organized a baseball team just to beat Johnsburg, which is not entirely true. Of course, the boys would like to sink the upriver crew, as any rival likes to lord it over another, but winning ball games from anyone is what the MAACS are out to do and it sort of gets under some of the players' skins to listen to the talk abiout these "civil wars." "Elver stop to consider the season's record of the MAACS, a newly organized ball club that has been experimenting about half the season. Well, to date they have won nine, lost five, and tied one. Not so bad when everything Is considered. Bobby Knox is thinking of starting. suit against the McHenry Ajnatear baseball club. Bobby kindly donated a milk can to be used as a water container for the Union Giants game so that the local boys might have an individual drinking can. John Bolger, umpiring for the MAACS, wasn't aware of the fact that there were two receptables and continues to use the can furnished by Bobby, which was all OK. But Monday when Bobby again used this can to ship his milk to Chicago what should happen but that this same can of milk be returned from the dairy marked "Bad Odor." Now, Mr. Knox wants to start suit but can't decide just who to sue so has picked on the MAACS. Now, is that fair? Speaking of breaks, the decision rendered by Umpire McCabe on the play when Tank was knocked out sliding into second with two out in Sunday's game was about the toughest yet. Yank had singled to left, scoring the first two Johnsburg runs and leaving the score 3-2 in favor of the MAACS, when Tonyan cut off the throw to the plate and threw to Winkel covering second. Red dropped the ball, but in the play Yank was knocked out and fell about three feet short of the bag. Winkel recovered the ball and tagged the runner, who was declared safe because McCabe had called time on account of the injury. There is an article in the August edition of "Baseball" covering , r this play and the following is quoted > and the works were from Rule 74 in the Spalding's Official Baseball Guide. "Suspension of Play ---Play shall be called in case of accident to player only when, in the judgment of the umpire, no further play is possible." Therefore, the play in progress must be completed and in that case Yank would have been out, the score 3-2 and the four runs scored by Johnsburg in the remainder of that disastrous third would have been annulled and "perhaps" McHenry would have w«n th& ball game. In quoting this I am not trying to lower McCabe's standing as an umpire. As for myself, not knowing the rules, deemed it only sportsmanlike to desist from kicking about the decision and had I been placed in the same position, would have rendered the same decision had I been unaware of the correct manner in which to dispose of the play. I am only relating this to awaken the fans to one of the many tough breaks the MAACS have suffered in this disastrous Johnsburg Woodstodr is broadcasts# *«wer WJJD Monday and Wednesday mornings at 8 o'clock each week, Central Standard time. < 10-2 Try Ma* classified m they 1 \ LG AGAIX TRIMS THIS. yiME 9-8 Locals Score Three In Ninth To Take Lead--Johnsburg Scares Two and Wins Entirely different from either of the first two McHenry-Johnsburg tilts, the third game brought about the same result. Johnsburg won 9 to 8. However, examine the box •fccore and try to figure out how and you'll have quite a task. McHenry outhit them two to -one and really outfielded them, if the number of errors are counted, though popular opinion seemed to think otherwise on that day. The big difference came in the fact that Tonyan, who was decidely unlike his real self Sunday, suffered from two bad imningm in which Johnsburg scored eight of their nine runs, six of them erasing a three-run lead of the MAACS in the third, when Ed hit one batsman, walked four, and allowed two hits, one a triple by H. Smith, who picked on one of Tosyan's slow cripples to clear the bases.. The two teams meet again next Sunday for the fourth of their scheduled four-game series and McHenry will then have their last chance to see if they can beat Johnsburg and their jinx. McHenry, to date, has lost but five games and three of them are to Johnsburg. They have defeated the Dundee Peerless who in turn "boast" a victory over Johnsburg. They have tied the Chicago Union Giants in a thirteen-inning contest. Fay, who collected four hits off Lmke Sunday, opened the game with a single to left and stole second. S. Whiting struck out and when Joe Freund dropped the third strike. Fay attempted to reach third, but was out, J. Freund to A. Smith. Gus Freund then started Johnsburg off with a hit also, after working the count to three and two. Britz sacrificed Tonyan to Bohr and Frepnd was doubled when he overran second, Bohr to Bacon. In the second the MAACS piled up a three-run lead that looked like U might take them somewhere. Johnson doubled to left. Bacon hit to Yank, who fumbled it long enough so that Bacon was safe at first. Bacon stole second Meyers hit a Texas leaguer over first that H. Smith couldn't quite reach an i Johnson scored, Bacon stopping at third. Meyers went to second unmolested and both runners scored when Linke's quick return for a third strike on j£gy was poked into right field for his second hit. This substantial lead lasted but one inning when Tonyan proceeded to lose control and six runs were piled up against him. He started by ticking Sonny Smith's ribs with a fast one. J. Freund grounded to Tonyan, Smith going to third, after having stolen second. G. Freund struck out. Joe Britz then walked and stole second, Yank, considered a weak hitter, poked one to left, which scored both runners and he was safe at second when Winkel dropped Tonyan's relay. Yank was hurt on this play and Umpire McCabe took it upon himself to call time wjth Yank off base, which prevented Winkel from tagging him out after recovering the ball. In this predicament Tonyan was ordered to pass A. Linke, which he did. He was not however, ordered to pass E. Linke and Leo Smith, which he did. He then served one over to H. Smith, which was to his liking and Hoopy served it hack into left center for a triple, clearing the bases. In the fourth Johnsburg also scored once as the result of two errors, by Tonyan and Bacon, and two bases on balls. This gave Johnsburg their seven runs produced from two hits, J. Freund hit one to Tonyan, who almost fell off the ride of the hill trying to keep his balance and thereby messed it up. Gus Freund bounced one over Tonyan's head and Bacon got it back of second only to drop "the ba{l when he tried to throw it. J. Britz then walked to fill the bases with no one out. Yank also walked to force in a run. A Linke fouled to Meyers. E. Linke bounded to Bacon, who ran and tagged second And threw to first for a double play. Bacon tried to redeem his error by opening the next inning with a twobase texas leaguer over second, but died on second when Linke struck out the next three men in succession. In the sixth, however, the MAACS did ral^y to the extent of two runs. Johnson led off with a single and went to second on Bacon'-s hit to right. Meyers struck out, but M. Whiting walked, filling the bases. Tonyfcn also fanned. Fay then came through with his third productive hit, a single to left, which scored Johnson and Bacon. Winkel fanned. In the eighth it looked like McHenry might tie-up the score, but a bit of improper base running went wrong gummed up. Frett, playing left field instead of Meyers, singled to left. M. Whitin? grounded out to third, Frett taking second. Tonyan again fanned, but Fay came through with his fourth hit and Frett was out trying to score. The hit was a short single to left and Britz had the ball on the way before, Frett rounded. third. Not in the least daunted by this nipped rally, Ihe MAACS oame back in the ninth Itnd scored three .runs to take a on&run lead. Winkel got his first hit, a single over second. S. Whiting followed with an infield bounder to short, which he beat out for a hit, putting Winkel on third. Winkel had reached second when Joe Frett, now playing center field for Johnsburg, allowed the ball (to get through him. Whiting stole second. After Linke had three balls pitched to Bohr he decided to walk him, filling the bases. Johnson then doubled his fourth hit of the game, and three runs scored when the center fielder was slow fielding the ball. Bacon then sacrificed Johnson to third, but Frett struck out and Knox, batting for Whiting, popped to the catcher. This one-run lead looked good, for after his bad innings, Tonyan had allowed but two men to reach bases, H. Smith on a double in the fifth and ?«# fntt, wt»9» be hit wttli a pitched n ., V' v THTJR8DAY, AUGUST 7, 1930 BOTH HANDS GONE, HE'S POSTMASTER War Veteran W| ^JLong for.Job. Bell, Calif.--If the same determination displayed by Charles C. M. Mr Gouegal, thirty-four, veteran of the World war, in refusing to allow the loss of both of his hands to be an Insurmountable handicap. Is shown In his administration of die post office, that office is due for an enviable career. McGonegal has officially assumed his duties as postmaster here following nine months of waiting for governmental red tape to untangle the questions which arose regarding the eligibility of a man without hands to serve in that capacity. The appointment was confirmed recently by the senate. A member of the First division, McGonegal was among the first to reach France and served there eight months before he received the Injuries which deprived him of his hands. He was In a taldlng party, he said, out to destroy r, nest of machine guns. As he went forward, a grenad« in each hand, he was stnnued by the high explosives of a heavy barrs^- end both of the grenades went off in his hands. After his discharge from a r-ar hospital In this country, McGonegal said he realised he could not allow the loss of his hands and forearms, just below the elbow, to wreck his life, and he lost no time learning to manipulate the hooks which must serve him In their stead. Sometimes he would stay np until two or three o'clock In the morning practicing and he still learns new tricks with the hooks every day. He drives a machine without any extra appliances or devices, about 17,- 000 miles a year. He pilots a plane and, although the Department of Commerce thus far has refused him a pilot's license, he says he will put up a fight before he gives up the determination'to have a pilot's license just for his own personal pleasure In fl.vlng. He fishes, hunts, swims and rides honseback. As he talks be nonchalantly reaches Into a vest pocket for a cigarette, dexterously lights the match, picks a piece of lint from his coat sleeve, stops for a moment to reach for the telephone, mops his brow with a handkerchief (the first day as postmaster was a bit hectic), handles paper and letters as easily as a person wlth two hands, writes and in every way proves that he has not allowed his affliction to cramp his style. Beer ISO Years Old k Found Behind Old Wall Worcester, England.--Four dozen bottles of good old English beer, about 150 years old, have been discovered at Sudeley castle, near here. These bottles of old time luxury were found during restoration operations, bricked up behind one of the solid stone walls of the castle where Queen Katherlne Parr, the only one of Henry VIII's six wives to survive him, is buried. The beer was tasted and found to be in perfect condition.

Britz suffered two strikes to be called on him before he sent one to Tonyan's slow ones to left for a double. Yank flied to Bacon in short center, but A. Linke came through with his first hit of the game, a double along the foul line in right field. Then brother Ed Linke sent a single through the box, which scored the winning run and again the Linkes alone had proved the potent factors in putting the finishing touches to the MAACS.

The following article appeared in today's Chicago Tribune and am sure the City of McHenry will take a sii ilar action: "Outboard motorboat owners were wsrned yesterday for the first time of the new city ordinance which imposes a $100 fine for operating with an open muffler. Under the direction of Harbor Master Agnew police in motor boats went up and down the lake shore posting placards bearing the warnings. The ordinance was pissed on July 7." Very truly, H. J.
