FALL Davidson rtekes ftafikT<i$mm Work of In CeaftsrJfetares Samday's t3ant*«t--WlSil* ftact Once more Davidson came very near being the whole show for McHenry last Snndsy afternoon, wfedn McHenry defeated the PalKtine outfit by a 4 to 1 score. Last year, with Steinmetz on the mound, the McHenry team defeated Palatine by a score of 13 to 11, Steinmetz allowing the visitors fourteen hits. Davidson allowed Palatine but two hits and struck out eighteen men. Steinmetz struck out ten of Palatine's batters last year. Outside of Davidson's classy pitching the work of Gieske's fielding1 and one-hand catch by Wenegar at first featured the afternoon's performance, which was run off in exactly one hour and twenty-three .minutes. Luedke, who did the twirling for the opposing team, possesses a cross between a slow and doj*e ball, which seemed to mystify most of the local batsmen, who displayed great difficulty in connecting for safe hits. However, the home gang did succeed in bunching four of their seven hits in the first and seventh inning for a total of four runs. A couple of passes in the first round also helped us to the three runs obtained in the opening stanza. i . . The game by innings: First inning: Sanford walked and went to second when 'Rossman fumbled Frye's grounder. Hermann fouled to Mead, while Wenegar and Gosswiller both struck out. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Bolger out, Gosswiller to Wenegar. Rossman drew a pass and took second on 6. Meyers' single over short, Both men advanced a peg on M. Meyers' sacrifice, a roller to first. Mead filled the bags by walking. With the bases loaded Buss straightened out one of Luedke's choicest offerings for a two-ply smash to deep center, the hit clearing the bags, while Buss went on to third on the throw to the plate. Winkel lifted to Hitzman. Two hits, three runs. Second inning: Hitzman struck out. Gieske was disposed of by Rossman and M. Meyers and Plate went out via the strike-out route. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Knox out, Sanford to Wenegar. Davidson a$d Bolger both skied to Gieske in center, the latter making pretty running catches on both drives. No hits, no runs. Third inning: Luedke was pegged out by Rossman. Sanford whiffed and Frye lifted to G. Meyers, the latter going into short center to take in the fly. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Rossman shot a single er short and stole second. The Meyers boys then committed the unusual by striking out^ Mead lifted to Sanford. One hit, no runs. Fourth inning: Hermann struck at wide one for his third strike and was safe at first. He took second on a passed ball and rode home on Wenegar's double thru third. Gosswiller and Hitzman both struck out and Gieske was thrown out by Davidson. One hit, one run. » McHenry: Buss struck out.

The motor pump and equipment was purchased by the village thru the local agent, H. E. Buch, and the manner in which the outfit is performing its duties is very pleasing. The outfit was installed by and under the supervision of Mr. Buch, who has thus proven himself an expert in this line of work. Since Saturday the new outfit has been pumping the water supply for the village daily. Barring the well going dry, there will be no excuse for a low water pressure inf the future. In fact, the water pressure will henceforth be kept quite uniform. Since noon and' •BB-rtnd he will b|p|||§i to tow«f Th« W MNRt At rate .of' 800 ifelriiltfce, which is considerably faster than the old w«y. As a matter of fact, Mr. Walsh figures that a eaving of about two hours a day is etfeefted thru the installation of the new system. The old gasoline pumping outfit will not be dismantled, but to the contrary will be given a few minor repairs and held as emergency power. The gasoline pump has now served its purpose ft>r more than a quarter of a century, which, considering all things, is a mighty good ^record for machinery of this kind. The new arrangement, which gives us a reserve or an emergency water pumping system, is a mighty good move on the part of the village officials and is worthy of commendation. Anyone interested may visit the plai.it at any time that the pump is in operation and we are sure that Officer Walsh will be glad to show the ours -AT Greeted By Packed House at Monday Evening The senior class of the Community higb school presented their annual class play to a packed house at the Empir* theatre, on Monday evening of this week. "At the End of the Rainbow," a. comedy in three acts, was presented • in a pleasing manner and thoroly enjoyed by the big audience at hand. Before the performance and be-» tween acts musk was furnished by the Fox River Four orchestra, while' Glenn Wattles, appearing in a curtain ~ talk between acts, handled the task in a truly professional manner. Each and every one who took part in the play carried his or her role out with credit. As usual, the play was directed by Miss Blanche D.

Davidson and Mead were the points for McHenry and performed in the usual manner. The Plaindealer was not supplied with the official soore. Wilau* Here Next Sunday For next Sunday the manager of the McHenry club has been successful in booking a real attraction. Wilmot, one of the very best te&ms in lower Wisconsin, will appear against the home outfit on this occasion and the fans may rest assured of seeing a real ball game. Edgar and Nelson will *"s form the battery for the visitors, while McHenry will once more rely upon the reliable Davidson and Mead to do the artillery work. Wilmot has this year put together a team that represents the very best amateur talent obtainable in lower Wisconsin.
