Townsfolk are beginning to follow the McHenry Softball games with the regularity and enthusiasm of basketball fans. Last "Kiesday night found John Anderson's parking space full of cars and the bleachers groaning under its capacity crowd. Dimes clinking into the gatekeeper's box made a noise like the Sunday school collection. It matters little that the McHenry Softball team was defeated by Cook's Publishers from Elgin by a score of 3 to 0. The game was good^ Howie Pflug, McHenry's cocky pitcher with his tricky slow balls, held the mound for the full nine innings and. cracked once in the Sixth to let in Elgin's three runs. < -He was supported in the field almost without flaw. The highlight of the fielding was Harold Freund's beautiful running catch of a hot grounder from shortstop to first base for the out, which the crowd appauled long and lustily. , In the run of usual poverty-ridden softbail teams, the Cook Publishers is an exception worthy of note. Right down to the smart red stripe running the length of their white trousers, the Elgin nine was a clicking team. Nick ; Miller said after the game that "it ] was the best-outfitted team we^ !played against." 7-; | The game turned out to be some- I thing of a pitching duel between Pflug and Elmer Swartz of the Publishers. Pflug allowed five hits and struck out sixteen men; Swartz gave out four hits and struck out eleven. This man Swartz had the McHenryites baffled with his speed. Of stocky build and uniformed all in white, in contrast to the rest of his players who wore red and blue jerseys, he pitched with little outward effort, but the ball smacked in the catcher's glove almost before the batter swung. Catcher Jimmie Fay made the longest hit for McHenry, a high one into center field which netted him two bases. , ' Ed Thennes announced during the game that the program for tomorrow night will start at 7 o'clock with a girls' softball game. The team has secured the services of a group of circus performers who will present their acts from 8 to 9. The feature game will follow with the opponents being a softball team from Chicago.

Fay has been catching a better game behind the plate all season than he has been given credit for doing. In fact, anyone that displaces Downs has to catch a good game to hold their job. And now that Fay has gained the leading position on the team's batting «order there'll be no stopping him. • . Pa«e Fivt Business Men's Soft Ball League STANDING OF TEAMS Standards . Cadillacs ...

P&UMMER TACKLES ^ "STRANGLER" LEWIS A. large percentage of Lake County's citizens will gather in Renehan's open-air arena at Round Lake tomorrow night, Friday, to see Lou Plummer, Waukegan's heavyweight mat ace, wrestle Ed. "Strangler" Lewis, former world's champion in the main event of the greatest wrestling card ever staged in this part of the state. The match will probably be ° the most important athletic event held in this county in years and more than four thousand spectators are expected to be on hand. Lou Plummer, the local boy who made good in professional wrestling, will be facing the greatest test in his career and although most of the mat dopesters are of the opinion that the "Strangler" will emerge the victor,* it is not unlikely that the greatest upset it) .the wrestling history may take plaa&fc - ' This Will be the last mateh in which Lewis will engage before his world's champioi.shij) contest in Chicago, oft the night of September 20th, against Jim Londos. Besides this great attraction, ma^tch-"; maker Lfcs White has signed a host of. other wor'd's title contenders fdr hit preliminary matches. Jim McMillen will get a chance to redee** himself for his defeat at the hands of Lou Plummer on the last Round Lake card, when he meetA "Crybaby" George Zaharias, the Color rado Greek in the semi-windup. This bout could stand alone as a windup attraction in any city in the country and lit has been attracting almost as much* j interest and attention as the main i event. Another match that should keep the fan3 on the ends of their chairs early in the evening is the one in whieh Abie Coleman, the greatest Jewish grappler in the game, faces Hans Bauer, stocky German strong man. Coleman is the exponent of the spectacular "flying drop-kick" and hopes to use it to good advantage' in this match. The foujfth match' on this super-card will feature* that Chicago wrestling Adonis, "Gentleman" Jack Smith, from Postl's Health Club. He will meet an up and coming future champion,- Ned Sparks' a Missouri pig farmer, Sparks is being coached by Jim Browning, former world's cham^ pign, and is expected to go places In the g^ppling profession. The prices for this great program have not been increased as they are $1.10 and $1.65 but the 55c seats hava been eliminated.

A small admission price has been tacked ' on for the first time this year, but don't let that stop you as the game i should be well worth hatching. Last Sunday the Brewers had anidle Sunday when the St. Joe's of Waukegan pulled a fadeout act ant! failed to appear for their scheduled game. The Brewers were all primed ; to avenge the trimming handed them by Johnsburg the week before and with that 16-4 beating still feeling like salt in their wounded feelings they bade fair to be poison to the St. Joe lads. Now they are going to take it out on the Gassers, the team that is backed by Guy Bush of Cub fame. NATIONAL SOFTBALL ASSN.
