DEPARTMENT CHANGES " DUCK HUNTING SEASON > Through a plan adopted by the ". «tate and announced by the department of conservation, duck hunters of Illinois have been granted fifteerk . weekends of hunting. • The new plan, setting the opening the duck huntihg season on the Weekend of Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7, will spread the season " ovst fifteen week%with Jan. 13 a? the closing date. Week-day shooting will be prohibited, limiting the reason to •thirty days under federal ..rules governing the duck season. * Director C. F. Thompson, of the ' department of conservation, explained the new program. He said: "The jjlan to limit the duck shooting to . weekends was clscided upon in order to give sportsmen of the state a maximum number of days in which to hunt." He said that weekends are always the most popular time for the majority of hunters and for that reason the limited season was being fe'Vftt. confined to Saturdays and Sundays. * ' .**•" Tie pointed out that last year there \ was a 60-day reason, but that /this year it'has been cut jn half because r •' "o# the shortage of ducks. Unfavori •: able weather conditions'and other factors had a damaging effect on ducks last fall arid this spring with-the result that their numbers have dwindled considerably. Under the plan of limiting the . shooting to weekends sportsmen will have an opportunity to follow their favorite pastime for a period of fifteen weeks if they desire to start at the opening of the season and continue until the deadline. \ „ In the early part of October the ducks will be found chiefly in the; northernmost sections of the state and they will work downstate gradually as the season changes.

AN APOLOGY The management of the McHenry Softball team offers its apologies to the large crowd that had gathered last Friday evening to see two good baseball games and a circus. Th« Woodstock Yellow Jackets developed trouble among themselves and cancelled their game with us on Thura* day. The circus was under a signe<J contract to appear, but it pulled tha kind of a stunt which is the lowest form of 'sportsmanship that any organization can stoop to, i. e., not appearing nor notifying us. The softball team from Chicago refused play with a 12-inch ball. - - ' CHANGE IN TIME The Married Men's ball games at T the city park hereafter will begin at 6:45 o'clock instead of 7 DST.

FORMER OLIVER HEAD PASSED AWAY SATURDAY THURLWELL ON MOUND AS BREWERS LOSE The Guy Bush Gassers proved to be too much for the McHenry Brewers and won a free hitting contest last Sunday, 17-7. The Brewers gathered thirteen hits, almost as many as the Gaseers, but eight errors proved discouraging to Spots Thurlwell, who was on the mound for the Brewers for the first time this year. He walked six and fanned twelve and also pound-" ed out a homer. Anson, who might be a relative of ^ ^ , the imortal "Pop" Anson, was the U* around Detroit the Tiger fans hittinp star of the day with six hits necke with four of the six hits allowed going to his credit.
