St. John's of Elgin Next St. John's baseball club of Elgin, which lost to the locals by a score of 6 to 4 a few weeks ago, is coming back for revenge next Sunday afternoon. It is understood that the visitors are coming very much strengthened and for the express purpose of evening matters with the home club. Johnsburg, during the past several games, has hit a pretty dizzy gait In fact, it takes a real ball club to defeat them. The boys also hope to arrange at least one more, if not a series of games with the McHenry team, which handed the locals two defeats earlier in the season. Since the meeting of these two clubs Johnsburg has been very materially strengthened and the boys feel that with an even break in luck they should be able to give McHenry a real game. Johnsburg Takes Close Game Johnsburg grabbed a hard ten inning struggle from the Elgin East Ends here last Sunday afternoon by a score of 4 to 3. Wedekind was on the rubber for the home team and pitched his usual strong game, striking out eighteen men and keeping the hits well scattered. Elgin was the first to score, the Watch city team shoving over a run in the first half of the third inning. Johnsburg, in their half of the same round, tied the count, then came back in the fourth and registered another marker. Elgin again tied the score in the sixth. Johnsburg's next run came in the seventh, while Elgin made it three all by scoring in the ninth. The visitors were unable to register in the tenth, while the home club Aored a run after one man had been retired. It was one of the best games staged on the Johnsburg grounds this season and the fans were given plenty of opportunity for exercising their vocal cords. The tabulated score: Elgin B. H. PO. A. E.

"They plan to do it by early fall. Even after all records are broken, officials inform me that the companies' big plant is certain to continue heavy production because of the unprecedented demand for Hudson and Essex cars, particularly the new coach models. "I^udson and Eoaex have enjoyed a remarkable year to date. March sales were greater than those for any month since. July, 1920. April exceeded March by considerable margin.
