WALSH fidence and accompanied by a band of royal rooters, the Richmond town basket ball team swept down upon this village last Saturday evening with the expectation of avenging the defeats suffered at the hands of McHenry last season, but, sad to relate, the visitors were again forced to return home suf­ fering the sting of defeat, they having been able to register but 14 points, while the home team accumulated 44. This was the first game played by the McHenry-town team and, in veiw of the fact that Richmond has been playing for three weeks or more, the showing made by the McHenry squad was truly commendable. The McHen­ ry team gathered for the initial prac­ tice on Wednesday night of last week and when the whistle sounded the be­ ginning of the contest on Saturday night it was quite evident that our boys would give a good account of themselves. From a spectator's point df view the game was a fast, snappy exhibition, altho considerably rough in spots. However, the fans seemed to enjoy it and the large crowd in attendance had plenty of opportunities to give vent to their feelings thru the progress of the contest. At no time did Richmond have a chance to win, but the visitors fought gamely, never giving up until the end of the game. Robisqn, playing at left forward for McHenry, proved the star of the game, his basket shooting ability standing out prominently over the work of all the other athletes. He shot baskets from any angle and in any position. It just seemed as if he couldn't miss the wicket. (All told he made thirteen baskets and one free throw for a total of twenty-seven points, more than half of McHenry's score. The other members of the McHenry team also played good ball, altho lack of practice was a noticeable fea­ ture of their playing. However, when these five get into shape they will be able to set a pace that will make most of the teams in this locality sit up and take notice. ' The line-tips and scores of the game follow: Richmond (J4) Palmer R. P. Sternberg L. Y. Richter, Speaker C., Williams R. G. Brjll L. G. F.

TAKE DECIDING GAME McHenry (44) Justen Robison Miller "Bacon Knox Frett, Meyers Geier's Colts Again Trim Their Wood­ stock Opponents The three-game series between Geier's Colts of this village and a team from the Oliver typewriter fac­ tory at Woodstock came to a close on the county sfeat alleys on Monday night of this week, when the McHenry bowlers again defeated their oppo­ nents by 98 pins. Geier of the McHenry team again carried off the individual honors of the evening, hanging up an average of 189 for the three games bowled. His high mark was 214. Conway also rolled a very steady game, with an average of 175. The line-ups and scores of the two teams follow: Woodstock Miller 124 S ?hneider 135 Kunda Korth Kane Ge.ier Robison .. Justen ...

This is figuring an expense of about $220, which appeared to be the correct figures at the time of {making out the report. However, there may still be a few minor bills outstanding. The result of this year's fair is most gratifying to the pastor and his parishioners, who wish to pub­ licly thank each and every one who in any way assisted in making tHe event such a gehuine success. While their thanks go out to their own people first, they wish to have it understood that they also feel grateful towards the people from neighboring towns, who, by their presence and otherwise, contributed towards the success of the occasion. ' It is the hope of the beloved pastor, Rev. Wm. Weber, and his parishioners that the church's entire indebtedness will be entirely wiped out by the first of the year. This was their aim pre­ vious to the holding of the fair and from all records at hand it now looks as if their fondest expectations will come to a realization. The pastor as well as his faithful followers are to be congratulated upon the showing made and it only goes to show what can be" accomplished thru unity and harmony. It seems but a very few years ago that the parish­ ioners of St. John's lost their church by fire, which necessitated the build­ ing of the beautiful edifice which now stands out like -a monument to the good.people of that community. The showing of the people of that commu­ nity is indeed a remarkable one and they have just cause for pride in their wonderful accomplishments. St. .Mary's Notes Saint Nic made his descent upon our school. But every lad and girl was in readiness and found Nicholas pleased with all their work and diligence.

It will be followed up by another New Year's. day. Most probably it will be (0- 500 party. Those who know the secrets of the new game will please take notice. Beginners in the game will do well to become proficient. The raffle on the round bottom clink­ er row boat,* courteously donated by Everett Hunter Boat company, has been postponed until next spring. Quite a number of book holders have asked for more time and, inasmuch as no date was set for the disposal of the 14 ft. boat, the race will be more exciting and the returns greater next spring.

Large crowds patronized the 'fair each day and as a result the various booths and other attractions did a big business. Thanksgiving day, as had naturally been expected, proved the banner day of the fair, the crowd on this day packing every corner of the large hall. The dinner and supper served by the ladies were very well patronized, these alone bringing into the church treasury a very neat sum. As a special attraction the McHenry Military band furnished music for the day, which was greatly enjoyed by everyone present and needless to say that the Johnsburg people appreciated the band boys coming out.
