What happened to the McHenry / Merchants last Sunday shouldn't ^happen in the best circles. Dundee led 22 to 1 after five innings of play and the game was '7 called on account of blue laws. . SMCHenry was blue. The boys put up a better showiiiftng against Richmond, losing 11 to 3 in regulation time. The Merchants need some ball ' players and need 'em right now. i We hear that Dick Rosing resigned as manager and that Harold Freund is back at the helm. We can't blame the management nor can we blame the boys oh the squad. They simply need some experienced ball players to work in with the younger players. We bear that Marty Klapperich caught both games for the Merchants and turned in a neat Job. Marty says he broke a 4eg last summer and never got his name in the paper. No justice. WaiAh. SPRING GROVE TURNS TABLES ON SHAMROCKS : Wanhala Stars In "':j . Belief; Protest 7 Filed With League Spring Grove, with Wanhala pitching some great ball in relief, turned the tables on the Shamrocks to the turie of 15 to 7 here last Sunday. Wanhala came into the game in the third inning and only allowed one run in the last seven innings. The Shamrocks Started t h e scoring in the first inning. Andreas was safe on an error, Dwyer grounded to the shortstop and both men were safe when Andreas beat the throw to second. Mc- Craeken tried to move the men along but forced Andreas at third. Sonny Miller then got the first of his three hits and both men scored. 'Sonny going to, second on the throw' to the plate. Stilling and Bolger both grounded oat to the infield. Spring Grove, with the aid of three walks, three errors, doubles by Mathcalf and Jaques and a single by '^fenhala, scored eight runs in the second inning. It was during this inning that Manager Bolger informed the umpire that the Shamrocks were playing the game under protest. Spring Grove had scored four runs and had men on second and third with one out. Haldeman popped a high fly behind third and Ed Lay went over to make the play. The ball hit his glove and popped into the air. Left fielder Andreas, right behind Lay. caught the ball before it hit the ground and threw to third trying to double the base rnnner there. The umpire called the runner safe. The Shamrocks claimed that the base runner did not hold the base and was therefore out. The umpire stuck to his decision and the game continued under protest. The protest will probably be brought up at a meeting in the future. If allowed the game will probably be replayed. -- Back in Game -- A walk to Knox, a hit batsman, singles by AndreaB, Dwyer, Miller and Stilling put the Shamrocks back in the game in the second inning. Four runs scored for the Shamrocks and the score became 8 to 6. Paul Freund had things pretty easy for the next three innings. In the fifth inning Muhladar singled but was cut down in a nice double play. Dwyer to Lay to Miller. The sixth inning was different. A single and two walks loaded the bases with no outs. Manager Bolger at this time called Sonny Miller in to pitch. Jaques picked out a pitch and drove it into right center for two bases and three runs scored. A run in the seventh, eighth and two in the ninth ran the Spring Grove total to fifteen. The Shamrocks threatened in the eighth when singles by Mc- Cracken and H. Stilling and an error loaded the bases with one out. A strike out and a line drive to the second baBeman ended this threat. In the ninth Lay lead off with a single, went to third on Andreas' single and scored when McCracken was safe on an infield error. Miller grounded out and the game was over. HEBRON WINS 3-2 GAME OVER TIGERS, BUT PROTEST FILED The Johnsburg Tigers travelled to Hebron last Sunday and lost a 3 to 2 ball game. Hebron started the scoring with One run in the second. Johnsburg came back with one in the third and a tie held up until the seventh. Johnsburg scored one in their half, but Hebron came back with two for the game. ^ ^ The Judson twfns were added io the Hebron lineup, Phil doing jjthe catching and, getting two hits. pipk Hiller, Howie Freund and Jim Freund were in the 2-hit class in a total of 9 safe blows, hut runs were scarce. It has been reported that Johnsburg has protested the game on the grounds that Hebron, did not furnish a regular McHenry County League ball.

HONORING' M< GIVEN LAST WEEK A Combined open house and Mother's Day program was offered by kindergarten pupils for their mothers last Thursday an|d Friday. Short programs were given and mothers were presented clay wall plaques which had been made by their youngsters. On Friday afternoon, the third graders at the public school entertained their mothers, also in honor of Mother's Day. Carrying out the pioneer theme which they had been studying in their social studies, they sang appropriate songs. The wall mural, too. was in the pioneer motif, a large painting called "Covered Wagon on the Westward Trail." A spelling bee, the reading of a story, "Surprise For Mother," and the enacting of a short play, "Betsy and the Pat rot," concluded the entertainment, after which refreshments were served from a table attractively decorated for the occasion. Twenty mothers Were present to see these children entertain them: Dick Aissen, Ercella Arndt, Walte Aufrecht, Karen Bailey, Lynn Brubach, Barbara Poring, Joyc% Eckstein, George Ensign, Dolores Freund, David Grandt, There will be a number of ^eni'y Houck, June Jensen, Gail games, with prizes for each game; the prizes. to . be donated by McHenry county merchants.

Scientific investigators later reported that a vast forested area had been devastated and a herd of reindeer killed. Instead of^ leaving one huge crater, this meteor pockmarked the landscape with numerous lesser ones, the largest of which was 150 feet in diameter.

Mc- Mackin, department chaplin and Gold Star chairman. On May 26, Poppy Day in McHenry, the local Auxiliary wishes for each member to repeat these words as often as she need that we may do at 10bt what is expected of us in the face of man if not in the face of the i Lord. * If liberty is .to be saved, it la t believed in terms of an Auxiliary | member's faith, it will not be by the doubters, the men of science or the materialists; it will be by religious convictions, by faith of the Individuals who believe that God wills man to be free but, so pure. It is this faith that spires hospitalized veterans to create the many thousands of poppies for Poppy Day which in turn assures U& of their faith in us.; ' Mrs. McMackln further teaches that God has endowed us with atylity to have faith in Him; one of the most beautiful gifts from the- heavenlji Father is the ab^ty to understand, love and n&p others. We must learn to cut away the hard shell ot self and reach up and out and understand. Henrietta Vycital, our local chairman, needs all the members of the Auxiliary to be conscious of their duty to their country. Through experience, as an example, Henrietta has learned' the value of faith in humanity. She has lost many dear ones in wm Of the past; she has not lost fsnlh that kindness and understanding will, someday, come out on top and bring the liberty we seek for all. It is toward this goal that she too is making an appeal to the members of the Auxiliary. "God has work for all of us to do," Bhe says.
