JACOB JUSTfll l GREENS TROUNCE CHKlAQdANS IN ONE-SIDED CONTEST. Ac Chldlgo PMtlUM O* OoW0 I* #»• feat Brfoic the Strong McHftiry SmM McHenry Agfttn SmtutheA th« B*ll. It was last Sunday afternoon, a day tbat will never be forgotten by tke Pastimes, of Chicago, who on that day came out from the great city to make themselves famous in a eonntry town. They chose McHenry as the right place to come to give the "fanner lads" a few pointers about baseball. But the conn- try boys were not as badly in heed of insti action as their name may indicate, and were there with the goods, dishing it out to the city team good and plenty. The Pastimes were a husky looking bunch and in the preliminary practice showed up like a bunch of veterans, while the Greens showed up likea bunch of dubs. The Chicagoans had, by the time the game was called, fully made up their minds that the Greens were an easy mark. But when the final count was made by the official scorekeeper at the end of the game they looked like a I inch of eonntry school kids, while the Greens marched off the field looking every bit the champions wo predict them o be ere the season has closed. We will endeavor to tell you, who did not see it, how it happened, a fact of which the Pastimes are aa yet. undetermined. First inning--Bartlett hits safe, and advances a sack on Stran's sacrifice hit to Buss; tries to steal third bntis caught by a quarter of a block. Sexton ended the inning by puncturing three holes in the atmoapht rj. Second inning--Brown fails to connect and D. Pendergast fol­ lows suit. Bosk gives Johnson and J. Pendergast free transportation to first, and they score on his wild throw over first after fielding Blonsgum's grounder, the latter resting safe on the second pil­ low. Wagner ended the session by strik* ing out. Third inning--Bartlett hits safe and goes to third on Stran's clean single, the latter taking second in the melee. At this juncture, with two men on bases, Sexton pushed out a clean two- bagger, bringing in two runs. Brown flyed out to center, Sexton was caught on his way to third, and D. Pendergast finished the run getting by striking oat. In the succeeding six innings the visit­ ors could do nothing, being blanked with ease. The Greens' ran getting did not start until the lucky third, when Evanson, the first man up, drew a free pass to first. Buss then hit for two bases, scor­ ing Evanson; F. Schreiner singled into center, advancing Buss to third and stealing second, while W. Schreiner got his base by being hit by pitched ball; J. Thurlwell went to first to rnn for Schreiner. With the bases full Jus- ten spoke for a two-base hit, bring­ ing in the three runners. Waite singled, advancing Justen to third, stole, second, and they both scored on an error by D. Pendergast, who let Helmer's grounder get through him. Cobb flyed out to center, and Gibbs hit for two bases scoring Heimer,.and coming in on Ev­ anson 's single. Buss got to first on an error at Bhort, and Evanson was oaught in an effort to -beat the ball to third, while Bnss got to second on the deal. Buss stole third and came borne when F. Schreiner pushed out a Mow ground er to the pitcher. Wf Schreiner ended the lively inning with a strike-out. The Greens scored three in the fourth on two doubles, a single, a base on balls and an error at short. In the fifth they scored one on two singles and on error. The sixth ended the ran getting for the Greens, when two singles and >m couple of errors netted two runs. The follow­ i n g i s t h e t a b u l a t e d e c o f e : • / * THE SCORE * A number df a** Woodetack Beds were over u«tS«rt*r to see the Greens in action, aad tfefty went home with a pretty good opinion of as. A f--tn from Emerald Park went to Johnsburgh last Sunday, where they were given a severe trouncing by the Grays of that place. The score at the end of the game showed that the Grays had scored twelve runs, while the Park boys had pat bat three bmb across the home plate. GAME NEXT SUNDAY. Next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock p. m., the Greens meet the Woodstock White Sox for the second time this sea­ son. The White Sox are too well* known in McHenry to need introduction. Every­ one knows that they are a swift bunch of ball players and that in all previous contests the Greens have not once won out against them. The first game this season between these two teams was won by the Sox by the score of 8 to 8. The Greens promise to thrn the tables next Sunday so be sure and be there. The Secret of Succcsb.

Few newspapers in the United States are able to ootmuand the services of as iirttttnnt a corps of correspondents as that of The Chicago Record-Herald. Its choice of a Washington correspondent is indicative of The Record-H erald's policy of obtaining the best there is to be had. Walter Wellman, the well- known author on political subjects and one of the ablest writers of the day, acts in that capacity. Mr. Wellman was born in Mentor, Ohio, November 3. 1858. At the mge of 14 be tM#an his newspaper experience, establishing at that age a weekly paper in the* little town of Sutton, Neb. In 1878 he re­ turned to Ohio, uid a year later estab­ lished the Cincinnati Evening Poet. ^ In 1884 he became the Washington corre­ spondent of the Chicago Herald, and in 1892 he visited Central* America and the West Indies and located the landing place of Columbus on Watling (San Sal­ vador) Islands, and marked the spot with a huge stone monument. Mr. Wellman's dashes for the north pole are well known. In 1394 he made the first of his two artic voyages of exploration, reaching the iatitnde of 81 degrees northeast of Spitzbergen. In 1698 he returned to the North, penetrated to Franz Josef Land, returning Again to this country ixt 18$9. On each trip he met with wonderful success in the dis­ covery of new islands aud lands, and brought back with him scientific data and information Of great value to the American Geographical Society. Mr. Wellman has been » voluminous writer for scientific magazines and popular periodicals. On returning from his arc­ tic trips he renewed hie connection with The Record-Herald, and is now the Washington correspondent of that pa­ per. His incisive discussion of contem­ porary affairs has given him a high place in the regard of statesmen and scientists of the day. p>: " Dying of Famine is, in its torments, like dying of con­ sumption.
