[Chicago Tribune, Saturday, May 21] "A man stood at the foot of a telegraph pole in the Robert Emmet playground in Austin just before dusk last evening, looking upward. On the cross trees was the body of a boy, his head in the singeing wires. He had been electrocuted. ~ "The man was Thomas Watling, 218 North Pine avenue, president of the Watling Manufacturing company. The body was that of his son, Robe^, eighteen years old. "A great crowd surrounded the pole, but the man didn't know it. He saw nothing but the body on the cross. All he said was: 'My son! My son!' "Young Watling had climbed the pole the better to witness a handball game. The game was exciting. Watling forgot his danger. His head touched a wire. "There was a blue light, a shower of sparks. The players stopped to look. Just a blue light and the sparks, then the body swaying with the wires. "Some one stole quietly into the Watling home and notified the father. Mrs. Watling did not know until later. "Mr. Watling at first wanted to climb the pole to free the body. He was restrained. He stood quietly until the current was shut off and the FAIL TO'SOLVB LEFTY JANKOW- - SKI'S SLANTS body was taken down from the cross "Every house in the neighborhood tti'lhVutsVtte was darkene4 for a little while until the power went on again. " 'But the light will never shine again so brightly in one house,' Mr. Watling said. 'What will his mother say?"' The young man, who came to such an untimely and tragic death, will be favorably remembered by many of our people, especially our younger folks and patrons of the Northern Illinois Jobbing company, where-he was employed last summer. He was a brother of Mrs. Roy Hankermeyer of this village. In the spacious room where Robert lay was a bower of flowers, sent by friends from far and near, who had been won by the deceased's genial smile and affectionate disposition. The funeral took place from the late home and thence from St. Catherine's church. Oak Park, on Monday morning of this week. Burial in Oakwood cemetery.

' ^ 7';^ v ;JjlfdGee & McHenry, Conway ois Visiting First Saeker Pulla Spectaeu- IaT Triple pi^y--Rossman tTnaMe to Stop the Hard Hitting All Natiena Inability to solve the offerings of Jankowski, the'little port sider who worked for the All Nations, together with the heavy hitting of the visitors, spelled defeat, the first of the season, for the home crew last Sunday after noon, when they were pitted against Candy Nelson's All Nations of Chi cago. The final count was 9 to 2. Lange, for the visitors, easily proved the big feature of the gaihe. Handicapped thru a' deformity in his right lower arm, he held down flrst base in a style very seldom seen in amateur baseball and to cap the climax he pulled a triple play in the eighth inning which was easily onie of the be.st plays ever witnessed oh a local field. The trick was turned when, with Bartell on second and Kimball on flrst, Meyers set a hot drive just inside of the first base" line. Both runners on the foot paths started out at the crack of the bat and sooner than it takes to tell it Lange had gathered in the smash «and tagged first, thereby completing a double. It was evident that he was more or less bewildered at his own performance for it took some ond baseman and short stop were heeded and the ball relayed to second in completion of the triple play. While such plays are always regarded of the horsti-shoe variety, one cannot help but admire such a performance apd Lange is surely entitled to special mention on account of it. The visitors were easily the strongest team that has yet faced the McHenry team and to be defeated by an outfit like this is no disgrace and therefore the home crew has every reason to take its defeat with good grace and give credit to whom credit is due. Jankowski pitched a splendid game, allowing our boys' but four hits. With the proper kind of support he would have shut out our side, but his team mates showed a slight disposition to falter in the third stanza, with the result that the home guards sent home a couple of runners. After this he had easy sailing. Rossman, who worked for the locals, was touched up rather freely, the visitors getting to him for a total of fourteen bingles, one of which Was a triple, and four doubles. The story of the game by innings: First inning: McDonnell was thrown out by Bartell. Rossman nailed Champagne and Nelson skied to Grantham in left. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Knox singled to center. Bartell, on an attempted sacrifice, popped to L. Jankowski. Knox stole second. Kimball fanned. Meyers was safe on Arendt's error, Knox going to third. Warner forced Meyers at second when he hit to short. One hit, no runs. Second inning: Couture was thrown out by Bartell. Kochanski drove a hot one into the awaiting mitts of Warner. K. Jankowski struck out. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Grantham struck out. Bolger lifted a high fly to Jankowski in center and Butler was thrown out by Couture. No hits, no runs. Third inning: Arendt doubled to left and went to third on Lange's sacrifice, Bartell to Meyers. L. Jankowski doubled to center, the hit scoring Arendt. The hit really was intended for a single, but a bad bound shot the ball past Bolger. McDonnell walked, but was forced at second when Champagrie grounded to Warner. Campagne stole second while Nelson was striking out. Two /hits, one run. < v McHenry: Rossman skied to Nelson in left. Knox shot a single thru third and stole second. Bartell skied to Champagne. Kimball rolled a fast one to Arendt at short. Arendt played for "Bobby" Knox, who started for third on. the play, but missed by a breath. Meyers duplicated Kimball's trick by hitting to Arendt. This time Arendt waited to see whether or not "Bobby" would try to make home and held the ball just long enough so that all hands were safe. This sort of upset the visiting short stop as the next play showed. Warner hit another hard one to Arendt which the latter messed up so badly that Knox and Kimball scored, while Meyers went around to third. Warner stole second. Grantham lifted a high fly to Jankowski in center. One hit, two runs. Fourth inning: Couture shot a double to left, but was nailed at third when he tried to make that station on a hard drive from the bat>of Kochan • I ski to Rossman. K.

At legist that was the conclusion that they reached when the smoke rolled away at the end of the game with McHenry at the l%ng end of the count of 15 to 12. At times it was difficult to tell whether the exhibition was a ball game or a track meet, when some of the hits with the bags loaded brought the runs around with monotonous regularity. The AKfcodstock men began in the initial frame with hard/hitting and brought in four runs before they could be stopped, while Basinger's squad only got three in the first two innings. In the third stanza Bonslett threw them out in a 1-2-3 order, while the McHenry bunch got the range with the heav£ artillery and laid a barrage of hits under cover, of which they sneaked in a total of nine runs. The fourth spasm brought in a score for them, while our men were satisfied with a hit. The fifth brought in two for Woodstock and one for our squad, and in v • , ry-- „ ^ ir was but by such as know a g J an?e when the Sixth we got two, while they were thiWn out by McDonnell and Knox they see one.

We refer to the case of Mrs. Harvey, who passed away last week. Besides those who madf things comfortable for hef during the last weeks of her life by providing ^bedding," food apd clothing, there were others who went in and set the home in order after her death. Others looked after the children by getting them into clean clothes and taking them into their homes. Then, too, fellow workmen at Terra Cotta^ where ^r. Harvey is employed, responded with a very nise fund that was made up among them. Such are true Christian acts of charity and will surely be rewarded.
