The Sox nicked Marshall's delivery with marked frequency, but poor judgment on the bases, coupled with bad coaching, kept our side from mak­ ing the score considerably larger. However, the game proved interesting and was just close enough to keep the fans on the anxious seat thruout. We will how attempt to give a nine- inning story of the manner in which it all happened: First fining: Anderson skied to Seablom. Burgeson singled to center and took second when $[illiams hit safely past third, Both runners ad­ vanced & peg when Hameister almost took "Sally's" hand off with a hard rap ight at our little port sider. He was thrown out at first. Leucht skied to Bending. Two hits, no rui>s. McHenry: Bending skied to Ander­ son at short. Comiskey stopped one of Marshall's wild ones with the mid­ dle of his baVk, which entitled him to free transportation to first. Brails- ford shot a fast one right at Marshall. Hameister dropped the throw and all hands were save. Both base runners advanced a station on a wild pitch. At this juncture of the game Burge­ son, Elgin's snappy little catcher, re­ ceived a stroke of absent-mindedness, and in adjusting his mask while stand­ ing twenty "feet from the home plate, Comiskey stole home. This made Marshall so mad that he turned right around and caught Brailsford off of second. The play Was a close one and some of the boys, including George, thought that he was safe', but ye umps waived him out and that was all there was to it.' Seablom singled past third and stole second and then he, too, was caught off the bag, Anderson taking the throw from Marshall for the put- out. One hiC"one run. Second inning: Doyle and Phillips both went out via the strike-out route, while Henson and Ahlstrom took care of Chapin. No hits, no runs. McHenfy: Alhstrom hit a sharp bounder down past the third base line. Hameister gathered it in and got the t>ill to Marshall just in time for the .out. Biehl's too-hot-to-handle ground­ er got away from Williams at third and it went for a hit. Henson lifted a high fly to Phillips in left. War- .ner's grounder down towards short was going at such a rate of speed that Anderson was mighty lucky to knock down the pill, this rap also go­ ing for a hit, on which Biehl took second. ' Sahlberg tried hard to con­ nect safely, but the very best he could do was to send a fast grounder to Williams at third, and was thrown out at first Two hits, no runs. Third inning: Marshall fanned. Anderson popped up to Biehl, while Sahlberg gathered in Burgeson's high fly in front of the home plate. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Bending singled to cen­ ter and went to second on Comiskey's sacrifice, Marshall to Hameister. Brailsford met his fate in the same manner, while Williams threw Sea­ blom out at first. One hit, no runs. Fourth inning: Williams out, Com­ iskey to Ahlstrom. Hameister's roller went right thru Biehl, but this error did not count for anything, as the run­ ner Was caught by one of Sahlberg's foolers. Sahlberg threw to Ahlstrom, who shot the ball to Henson in plenty of time to get the runner. Bending gathered in Leucht's fly. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Ahlstrom beat out a hit to Anderson. Biehl bunted in front of the plate. Marshall, who fielded the bunt, played for Ahlstrom at second and lost his man by a step Both runners advanced a station on Henson's sacrifice down the first-base line, the batter being thrown out at first by Marshall. Seeing that the bunting game was working out to perfection and with the base runners on their toes, Warner tried it again and with success. He rolled one down towards Marshall and Ahlstrom beat the throw to the plate. Sahlberg out, Marshall to Hameister. Bending struck out. Two hits, one run. Fifth infting: Doyle doubled over the left field fence and went to third when Biehl lost Phillips' grounder. Phillips stole second. "Sally" pitched himself out of this hole by fanning Chapin and Marshall, while Anderson popped to Biehl. One hit, no runs. McHenry: Comiskey was safe when Williams threw badly to first, Comiskey wever stopping until he had reached second. Brailsford hit to Marshall. • Marshall tried for Comis­ key at third, but the throw got away from Williams and Comiskey scored while Brailsford went to second. Sea­ blom out, Doyle to Hameister- Brails ford took third on this play. Ahlstrom hit to Marshall and Brailsford was run to death between third and fco»e. Biehl out, Williams to Hameister.

Warner gath ered in Anderson's foul and Burgeson to Seablom. Two hits, McHenry: Bending skied to Leucht Comiskey singled to center and stole second while the fielders were trying to decide who was to pick up the ball. Brailsford hit to Anderson and went all the way to second when Elgin's -t-stop made a bad throw to first, the error also allowing Comiskey to Seablom * struck out Ahl­ strom doubled to right, the hit ing Brailsford. 'Ahlstrom took third on the throw-in. Biehl fanned.. Two hits, two runs. Eighth Mngr^ilHam'.WlM and took second on Hameister's single the third base bag.

Warner singled to right and went to sefiond on a passed ball. He was then caught off the bag. Sahl­ berg singled to center and took second on Bonding's safe $ap past shor|j Marshall tried to catch Sahlberg off of second and made a bad peg, Sahlberg taking third, while Bending scampered to the second station.

The Chicago club has won iiiost of its games played thus far this season and gives a very good account of itself whir ever it appears. They carry an Indian pitcher, who is said to be a cracker jack. The local outfit, no doubt, will find him a tough propo­ sition to solve. The game will be called promptly at 2:30 o'clock and a big crowd is looked for. The usual prices of admission will prevail.

THE cost of foods With food pfricefe in the skies, it becomes necessary to practice discrimination in the selection of food products, to make elery purchase count. Food values must be studied. One must get a fu l l r e turn in nu t r iment for one's money. THE HIGHEST NOT ALWAYSBEST Many articles of equal food values cost much less than others.

STABAT MATER A SUCCESS (Continued from first page) soloists assisting, was given with a dashing brilliance, confidence of man­ ner and assurance of tonal quality and attack, that brought from the audi­ ence a spontaneous burst of applause indicative of their appreciation of the entire program. McHenry has reason to $>e proud of the work of its Choral society. All of its concerts have been well done, but of all the Stabat Mater deserves to be set down as the finest exhibition yet given of t£e enterprise, untiring energy and capable direction of this well trained chorus. In Appreciation Only thru the kindly efforts of Rev., M. J. McEvoy in rehearsing and plan­ ning the great work of Rossini's Stabat Mater could it ever have been produced in the village of McHenry. Tho twice preparing a proper presen­ tation of this work and rehearsing this great musical selection for more than tWo years, the good Father has only -begun to enjoy its sweetness, such is his love for music and singing. The Choral and community fully ap­ preciate his courtly manner in im­ parting so cheerfully to?others the musical talents which God has given him.
