A crowd of 600 brave fans, most of them garbed in winter costume, chattered thruout the game. Locals Score First Aurora got away in the second Inning for a two run lead. "Dutch" Durant, after foyling two over the left field fence, and tipping a couple more over the grand stand, concluded his tfim at the plate by fouling to Rosier. Israel started the run making with a single to right. Wright followed suit, pasting a red hot one over second. Wyatt grounded to Rossiter. Then came Adamson. He hit into right field, and before Carroll, who was then playing the position, recovered his senses, "Fritz" had stretched it into a two bagger and both Israel and Wright had scored. That, however, was the extent of the Aurora scoring. Twice later, once in the sixth and again in the ninth, Capt. Charley Roth hammered the ball to the fence for two baggers, but was left languishing on the bag. McHenry tied the score in the fourth frame. Kern led off with a nice single to center. Rogers, who had gone in for Carroll, justified the change by smashing out a two bagger to right center, scoring Kern. Rogers' hit was all the way to the fence. Turnquist went out, Durant to Croake. Then came Rossiter who singled to left center, scoring Rogers with the tying run. Repas struck out. Kingsley hit to Wright who tossed out Rossiter at second. Take Lead in Eighth The other hitting spree of the visitors came in the eighth, when Gross started with a sharp hit to Wright. Cy pegged low to first and Gross was safe. Kern shot a hot one past Lee for another single. Rogers grounded out to Durant. Turnquist's single to center scored both Gross and Kern. Rossiter singled to right center, scoring Turnquist. Repas walked but Kingsley flied out to Wyatt and Davison whiffed, ending the swatfest. Rossiter was the hitting genius of the day, turning in a perfect score in four trips to the plate. Adamson's double in the second chased in the only local runs. Bobby Lee was guilty of breach of ettiquet in the fifth, taking Gross' grounder and neglecting to throw to first, apparently thinking Kosier would be forced to third on the play. However, on the next play, he took Kern's sizzling liner with the bare hand, and touching third, doubled with a alee throw to first. Seiler Runs, Walks John Seiler, "the Flying Yank," entertained the fans yesterday with an exhibition of marathon running, and on two occasions walked backward from second base before a player running the complete circuit could gain home. Turnquist of the visitors ran one "race;" Israel, the other.

ERNST BARBIAN DOING NICELY AFTER OPERATION Claude Freund, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Freund of this city, is soon to be ordained into the priesthood and will read his first mass at St. Mary's church in this city on Tuesday, June 9. The young man has been preparing himself for the priesthood for more than ten years and during this time has been a student in a number of Catholic educational institutions thruout this country. The class of which he is a member will be ordained by Rt. Rev. A. J. Schwertner at Wichita, Kan^, on Sunday, June 7, after which he will be known as Rev. Robert, C. P. He will leave Wichita on the evening of the ordination in the expectation of arriving in McHenry a day prior to the reading of his first mass. Plans for this very important event are now under way and Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor of St. Mary's parish, hopes to make the occasion one of extraordinary impressiveness. Rev. Robert will bear the distinction of being the first young man from St. Mary's parish of this city to be ordained into the priesthood. This is indeed quite unusual as St. Mary's parish has been established in McHenry for more than twenty years. Ernst Barbian, student at the McHenry community high school and son of Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Barbian of this city, is making a very satisfactory recovery from the operation he underwent because of a hip infection at t|»e Presbyterian hospital in Chicago last week. As stated in last week's issue the infection resulted from a fall on the ice last winter. While the young man paid little attention to the injury at the time, the hip began to give him more trouble as time passed on until recently it was decided by the physician in attendance to have him submit to an operation. He expects to be able to return to his home some time this week al\d it is his hope to be able to again tak^ up his school studies before the closfe of the season. His many friends will, *110 doubt, be pleased to learn of this good news. The finest coffee obtainable. Brideson's Dept. store.
