BALL TEAMASSURED OPENING GAME TO BE STAGED PHERE APRIL 26 PRACTICALLY THE SAME TEAM WHICH REPRESENTED US LAST SEASON WILL RETURN As a result of the dance held at the Polly Prim on Monday evening of this week and the excellent work of the canvassers, who made the rounds of the business men and fans in ^their solicitations for donations, a fund of approximately $900 has been collected for the sponsoring of a baseball team in McHenry this summer. As a matter of fact another good baseball club has been secured and the fans may rest assured of witnessing the same high-grade baseball in McHenry this summer as was "dished" out to them last season. The baseball proposition will be handled a bit differently the coming season tn that the officials of the club will engage and pay the team a sum to be agreed upon later. Last season, it will be remembered, the team was engaged by Giles Kingsley of Waukegan, who was provided with the grounds and given a $500 bonus for bringing his club to McHenry. This year all finance's will be handled locally, games will be booked by local officials of the club and, in fact, everything pertaining to the club and the staging of games will be left in local hands. Officials of the club, however, engaged the services of Mr. Kingsley with the understanding that he is to furnish the players and have charge of the team on the field. The new arrangement appears to" be very satisfactory to the Waukegan baseball man as also to members of the McHenry club. This year's team, as near as can be ascertained at this time, will line-up about the samb as last year. The only positions in doubt at this time are first base and short stop. Bailey and Walczak, who last season filled these two positions, are now at Sanford, Fla., to which club they have been "farmed" out by the Milwaukee club of the Mrs. Elizabeth Stoffel is moving the j American association. McHenry fans house recently purchased of T. J. hope that they will soon get home- Walsh to her lot. This removes one of J sick for the north and be back with the the old landmarks of McHenry which: local club for the season. has been a familiar object for so many J The balance of the team will remain years. ' j about the same as last year. The old Miss Kate Howe, Miss Jessie Bald-' reliable Jess Davison has again been win, Mrs. Mary Cobb, McHenry teach-: signed up to carry ths burden of the ers, and Miss Florence Baldwin, pri- j pitching responsibilities while Kingsmary teacher at Ringwood, made the j ley will be at the receiving end of the Richmond schools a pleasant visit battery. Should Bailey fail to return Tuesday. Chas. Davis and Harry Comstock narrowly escaped a serious accident last Saturday evening. The former went to take the latter home after church, when the horse becoming frightened, broke the cross bar and otherwise wrecked the turnout. A project is on foot to establish a German Catholic church at Spring Grove, thirty families having lent their influence in favor of it.

HOLDING IT "My hair is falling out.*' "Have you tried tonic?" "I'm afraid my case calls for gtae.*' • The spirit never grows old. it is quite likely that Carroll will- be given a chance at the first-base position, a place which he. is-said to be well qualified to fill. Kern will again be seen at second, with Joey Gross at third. The short stop position is still in doubt, altho Walczak may yet return. Kosier will again be seen in left field, Repas iri center and either "Ping" Bodie or Rogers in right. The first game of the season will take place in McHenry on Sunday, April 26, at which time the McHenry crew will entertain Carpenter's Auroras, a team which last season handed McHenry a 40 to 0 defeat at the Aurora grounds. The two teams have not met since but nothing would suit the McHenry outfit better than to avenge that trouncing as handed to them by Aurora last season. The McHenry management is going to do its very best in booking attractions for home dates and already arrangements are being made to bring to McHenry the coming season besides the team already mentioned such nines as Elgin, Algonquin, State Line, Burlington, Libertyville and possibly some of the stronger semi-pro teams' of Chicago. . McHenry last year demonstrated that they were strong enough to meet all comers in the semi-pro ranks and ever since the last game between our lads and Elgin, as staged at Crystal Lake last fall, semi-pro managers have a great deal of respect for our team and bookings with the stronger clubs will be made comparatively easy. Watch next Week's paper for further announcement of the opening game and line-ups of the two teams. NOTICE TO VOTERS Notice is hereby given that on Tuesday, the 21st day of April, A.

INITIATE AND INSTALL MEMBERS OF ST. CLARA COURT PA8S PLEASANT AFTERNOON A very pleasant time was had by member^ of St. Clara court, W. C. O. F. of this city on Wednesday afternoon and evening of this week during which time one member wa§ initiated, new officers installed and a sumptuous banquet enjoyed. The initiation and installation took place at St. Mary's hall starting at three o'clock in the afternoon. The new member initiated was Mrs. Joseph Justen. This was followed by the installation of the newly elected officers. Mrs. Josephine Heimer, probably one of the most active members of the court was honored by being chosen the installing officer and to say the very least, she handled the position in a most pleasing and satisfactory manner. The installing officer had the assistance of the guard of honor in tne work', the guard adding that impres- ^iveness which usually goes with the services of this nature. The officers as installed were as follows: Katherine Schneider, chief ranger; Caroline Schiessle, vice chief ranger; Ellen Schneider, recording secretary; Katherine Hiller, financial secretary; Katherine Freund treasurer; Elizabeth Laures, first trustee; Barbara King, second trustee; Margaret Baur, third trustee; Katherine Meyers, senior conductress; Elizabeth Schneider, junior conductress; Anna K. Freund, inner sentinel; Elizabeth Rothermel, outer sentinel. At the conclusion of the installation ceremonies, the ladies marched in a body from the- hall to Justen's hotel where a banquet was enjoyed at 6:30 o'clock, Mrs. Fred Justen acting as hostess, and to say that the banquet was most delicious is putting it very mildly. Mrs. Josephine Heimer acted as toastmistress. The remarks of their pastor, Rev. Chas. S. Nix, were greatly appreciated and rpundly applauded. After dinner a very pleasant few hours were passed at five hundred and bunco with suitable favors awarded the winners. This drew to a close one of the most delightful social functions held by the court in a long time. Enthusiasm is to a man what powder is to a bullet.
