PETESCHPKDCCIST BUMP LJHRTYVHIE LAWS no TO EIIW TJUI ' SELVES TO WIN FANS SEE TWO SOUTHPAWS PUT ON A REAL CONTEST--DAVI SON BESTS BENNETT A real battle between two left handed pitchers was the treat offered the fans who patronized the McHenry- Libertyviile game here last Sunday afternoon. Bennett performed for the visitors, while Davison occupied the hilj for the home club. In summing up the afternoon's proceedings the score book shows that Davison had the better of the argument altho Bennett pitched some "sweet" baseball after that first inning, when he appeared a bit wabbly. Outside of the classy exhibition of pitching, Bailey's three-ply smash, with the bases loaded, in the first inning afforded the fans a real thrill. Bailey, who in seasons gone by has been credited with swinging a. wicked willow, has not been doing so well with the old hickory this season, but the way he walloped that old hose hide on his first trip to the plate on Sunday was more than enough to make up for his past batting skimp. And while we are on the subject of hitting that old apple, we want to say right here and now that Davison, who as a pitcher isn't expected to do much in the hitting line, was right up there and going on Sunday. Out of four trips to tl^e-plate he succeeded in collecting for himself a perfect batting record. His achievement was four safe blows, one of which sent in the winning run. • McHenry succeeded in hitting the offerings o^ Bennett in every inning except the fifth, but Lefty saw to it that the blows were safely separated after that eventful first inning. The story of the game by innings: FIRST INNING: Pillifant walked, stole second and was tagged by Gross on his way to third when Carlton grounded to our third sacker. F. Stanczak's offering was a tall fly to Repas in center and "Don" Winters was thrown @ut by Groat. No h,its, no runs. j McHENRY: Gross shot a double to right and took third on a passed ball. Kern and Rosier both walked, after i which Bailey cleaned the bases with a j tfcree-p!y clout ju-t back of the flag in left. Bailey was nailed at the plate when he attempted to stretch the hit into a homer. Walczek lifted to Ehnert in left. Rogers was given life when the two Stanczak boys collided in going after the batter's high infield fly. It was the short stop's ball. Repas sent Rogers to third on a single to left. Kingsley made Ehnert travel fast for his long fly to left. Three hits, three runs. SECOND INNING: W. Stanczak singled to center. Ehnert lifted to Kern. Davison, at this stage of the proceedings, seemed to be unable to find the home plate and as a result passed both Macklin and Moore. With the bases loaded and only one" dead, things sure did look promising for the visitors, but their hopes were shot to pieces when Bennett started a fast double play when he rolled to Gross. Gross tagged third, thus forcing Macklin, and then whipped the pill to Bailey in time for the double execution. One hit, no runs. McHENRY: Davison banged a single to right and a moment later was caught < off the initial sack by Bennett, who caught the runner by six feet. Gross lifted to Winters in right and Kern struck out. One hit, no runs. THIRD INNING: Pillifant helped himself to a three bagger when, after connecting what looked like a single, the ball took one of those bad bounds and got thru Repas. Carlton sent the runner home with a single to right center. Carlton then wandered too far off first and was nipped by Kingsley, who made a fast and accurate throw. F. Stahczek was thrown out by Kern and Winters fanned. TWo hits, one run. McHENRY: Kosier beat out a bunt down the third base line and then stole second. Bailey lifted to. Willie Stanczek. Walczak skied to Macklin and .Rogers went out on a line drive to F. Stanczek. One hit, no runs. FOURTH INNING: W. Stanczak was out via Kern to Bailey. Ehnert lifted to Gross and Macklin went out on a fly to Repas. No hits, no runs. McHENRY: Repas drew a pass and went to second on Kingsley's sacrif\ge, Moore to Macklin. Repas took third on a pass ball and then rode home on Davison's, single over short. Gross put Davison on seconfi with a single thru short. Kern lifted to Carlton in center, while Kosier forced Gross at second when he rolled to W. Stanczak. Two hits, one An. FIFTH INNING: Moore was thrown out by Walczak. Bennett's offering was a line drive , -to Walczak and Pillifant lifted to Bailey. No hits, no runs. .0 McHENRY: The Stanczak brothers exchanged places in this round, which appeared for the better. W. Stanczak nailed Bailey. Pillifant " threw out Walczak arid F. Stanczak whipped out Rogers. No hits, no runs. SIXTH INNING: Carlton out, Davison to Bailey. F. Stanczak was thrown out by Walczak. Winter singled to center and took second on W. Stanczak's single to right. Both runners scored on Ehnert's triple to left. Macklin fouled to Kingsley. Three hits, two runs. McHENRY i Repas fanned.

The tournament for the president's cup, which was started a few weeks ago, has now reached.the finals, which will probably be played off between Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock and Walter F. Vogt of this city some time this or next week. Next Sunday a ladies' tournament, for members and their families, is to be staged over the McHenry course. While the fair members of the local club have not displayed the interest in the game that manifested itself all thru last season, it is. anticipated by club officials that there will be enough entrants in Sunday's contest to make it a lively affair. The trophy, which is to be presented the winner, has been donated by County Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock,, This will be sin eighteen hole event. On Monday, Aug. 18, the ckddies will have their day. Prizes for the caddy tournament have been donated by the club's professional, Harry Morris, and the local club. Mr. Morris will hang up a set of clubs, which will go to the winner, while the second prize, a golf bag, will go to the runner- up. The tournament for the cup won by W. F. Vogt last year will also start next week. McHENRY CLUB TRAVELS TO ALGONQUIN SUNDAY The third "of a five game series between the McHenry and Algonquin Baseball clubs will be staged at Algonquin next Sunday afternoon, when the locals, followed by a big delegation of fans, will invade the down river town for the big doings. Each team has thus far annexed a game and the contest next Sunday will go a long ways towards deciding the winner of the series. McHenry, it will be remembered, took the first game of the series played at Algonquin on Decoration day afternoon. This game went eleven innings and was won by a score of 10 to 9. The second combat, played on the McHenry diamond on July 20, went to the Indians in the regulation nine innings by a count of 2 to 1. The game next Sunday is certain to -develop into another red hot contest and indications point to a record breaking attendance. At least 200 McHenry fans will be down there rooting for their favorites to win. SCHOOL TEACHERS HAVE ALL BEEN ENGAGED All of the. school teachers for both the grade and the community high schools have been engaged for the season, altho one of the grade teachers, Miss Eleanor Phalin, has asked to be released from her contract. Miss Phalin, since the close of school, has been employed by a book concern out in Iowa find she has become so attached to the new work that she would like to follow that line in the future. While the school board has not as yet accepted her resignation, it is quite Likely that this will be done.

DUNCAN SISTERS DINED * AT WOODSTOCK SATURDAY According to Monday evening's Woodstock Sentinel, the Duncan sisters, who are starring in "Topsy and Eva," now playing at the Selwyn theatre in Chicago, and who received more than their share of newspaper publicity on account of a recent incident with police officers at Cicero, enjoyed a midnight lunch at the Buck- Jey restaurant in that city last Saturday night after having made a flying trip from Chicago to the McHenry county seat city in Sidney Smiths machine. The party drove thru McHenry on their way to Woodstock, according to the Woodstock paper. The management of the MeHe*ry Baseball club has booked a special for tomorrow, Friday afternoon, when Peter's Chicago Union Giants, conceded the greatest colored baseball club that ever traveled out of Chicago, will oppose the McHenry gang. While there are still « number of fans in this community who are not aware of it, let us once more say right here and now that McHenry this year* has a baseball club which compares favorably with any of the semi-professional teams to ' be found anywhere. This is not an exhibition game, but a real honest-to-goodness booking, and what's more, McHenry expects to win. They all look alike to our club. Game will be, called promptly at 2:15 o'clock so that the country folks can rest assured of getting back to their home in time for the evening's chores. Everybody turn out as this will probably be your pnly opportunity of seeing a team of this calibre in McHenry this season. Not only do the colored boys play real baseball, bat they also provide a regular sidesliow with their antics on the diamond. McHENRY-VOLO ROAD AGAIN OPEN TO TRAVEL The newly built cement highway, between this city and Volo, is now permanently open to travel, altho autoists are warned to keep within the speed laws lest they get "pinched." The work of shouldering the new cement is rapidly nearing an end and with another- few days of good weather the entire job will have been completed. The workmen thin week have reached a point near the west end of the new road. Word from Woodstock is to the effect that the McHenry-Woodstock road will also be opened to traffic for itB entire length by the end of this week. 5» if!
