In a comparatively low scoring game Wonder Lake defeated Bimbo's 7 to 5. The winners scored 3 in the second, 3 in the fourth and 1 in the fifth. Bimbo's scored 3 in the second and 2 in the sixth. Highlighted by some fancy fielding and pitching, the Palace Recreation held the McHenry Sand and Gravel team in check until the sixth inning. Seven runs scored and three more in the seventh had the folks wondering just what the final score would be. Bill Kreutzer, pitching for the Palace, did not allow a hit until the fifth inning. Bill left the game with the score 16 to 1 in his favor. Three home runs and a triple by Doolin, three singles and a double by Behnke and a home run, single and double by Todd were the heavy hitting for the Palace. Final score was 18 to 7. Ed Pieroni allowed only 4 hits as his Bimbo's beat the Knigftts of Columbus 9 to 4. Bud Meyer and G. Morenz hit home runs. Ted McNish allowed Blatz only four hits in beating them 12 to 2. Good fielding helped Ted a great deal. Timely hitting by Marsh and Sullivan -- three .hits apiece -- paced "the Sand and Gravel team. Seven runs in the fifth inning sewed up the game for McHenry Sand.

This was an Illinois-Wisconsin league game. Following a 3-run lead for the Yanks in the second inning, the game settled into a tight contest. When the home team scored two runs in the sixth, it looked like they might pull one out of the fire. . Remember the games Saturday and Sunday on the Johnsburg diamond.

SPEEDETTES LOSE HEARTBREAKER TO CHICAGO ROAMERS The McHenry Speedettes lost a heartbreaker to the Chicago Roamers last Saturday by the score of 4 to 2. Leading by two runs until the fifth inning, the Speedettes were then scored on in the sixth and seventh innings. However, their manager, Miss McKage, is not discouraged at all for the teams they are playing have been organized for three or more years and our Speedettes have played together but twice. In each game it has been just a matter of "greenness" and mental lapses that have caused the two losses. This week's game will find our team fully uniformed and raring to get that first win. The Oak Park Juniors had better be at their best for our Speedettes are getting better with each game. They are anxious to win for the team and the many fans that are sticking with, them 'til they really get going. ably well as most of the matches were reasonably close.

Apparently one wheel struck a hole near a drainage ditch, and the farmer was thrown from his seat. The tractor fell on top of him, anS his body was discovered about an hour later by his wife. The victim was searching for a lost shovel when tbe tragedy occurred. Unfortunately, suCh accidents are not unusual, says Wendell Bowers, University of Illinois agricultural engineer. Thirteen Illinois farmers were killed last year by overturning .tractors; seventy-two more were injured, many seriously. (The rules for avoiding such accidents are simple. Stay away from ditches. Don't turn at high speeds, and keep the brake pedals locked together when travelling in road gear. And to prevent backward tipping, always hitch trailing implements or objects to the drawbar.
