Plaindealers at Bolgers M'HENRY SPLITS WINS WITH ELBURN TEAMS Heavies Lose 31 to 20 While Local Lights Win By Score of 6 to 7 The local basketba]l squads drove to Elbum last Friday night and split victories with the teams that won a double victory from us about three weeks ago. Coach Stringer had his teams in good condition and they made the Elburn fans hold their breath more than once in the course of the games. In the first half of the heavyweight game SJcHenfy just walked away with the Elburnites. First quarter time found McHenry leading a 9-2 score and half time on the }ong end of a 10-12 score. Needless to say that Elburn was highly surprised at this, as they expected another walk-away game with the local teams. Bob Conway was the sensational player of the local team in the first half of the game. In the first quarter he sank in three baskets. Jimmie Fay made one free throw and Kinsala made one basket. On the other hand the other two players, Marty Conway and "Red" Fay, kept.E]burn from scoring with the exception of one basket. Local fans were overjoyed at the end of the first quarter with the 9-2 score, especially so after winning the lightweight game. Kinsala and Jimmie Fay scored a .basket and free throw in the second period. However, the Elburn boys ran up from a 2-10 score in this period while McHenry with only a three point gain stood at 12 when the first half ended. Not dowqhearted in the least the Orange and Black kept up their pep through the half time. But as the game progressed in the third quarter things didn't stay so rosy for McHenry as they missed one attempt after another at the basket, and in the end didn't score at all, while Elbum, having at last woke up, did heavy duty on the scoreboard, raising their total to 21, while we stayed at 12. Final quarter time brought McHenry in fighting harder than ever. This time Marty scored a free throw, Jimmy Fay a free throw, and one basket, and "Red" Fay one basket and two free throws. This brought McHenry's score up to the grand total cf 20. On the other hand Elburn continued with their adept shooting and raised their score up to 31. After much struggling and clinching and so on by both teams the game was fina]ly brought to an end by the timer's gun. Even though losing the game ' by point* the Orange and Black were happy, as they gave their opponents a good run for their money.' The lightweights put up a hot and fast preliminary game with the Elburn lights that smashed all records for excitement and intensity. The scores at the four respective quarters were: 5-2 McHenry's favor, 7-4 Mc- Henry's favor, 7-6 McHenry's favor and final score of 8-7 in McHenry's favor. Harrison was high scorer, having a total of five points, Geier next with two points and Frett third with one point. The lights were esecially g]ad of the victory for themselves as they were only nosed out by one basket from winning in the former encounter with the Elburn team. This Thursday night the big county tournament opens at Marengo. Promptly at 7:30 o'clock McHenry will come out on the floor and meet Crystal Lake. This battle is very important for it will eliminate one of the two strongest teams contesting for the crown from the finals. Of course, McHenry is out to win, for all they're worth, and McHenry fans show your stuff by being over there to support them in this important game. Your yell should be "We want the Ciy>" and what you want you can get if you work hard enough. The team is doing its part. Now it's up to you, McHenry fans, to be there and cheer the boys on to victory. Many things point to this game's closeness, some are, the two teams have split victories this season, each home floor. Therefore, it is hard to say which has the better chance of winning. Don't miss it. It's the biggest game of the entire county basketball tournament, excluding the finals.

LOOT/ fy FIMO SCOTT WATSON Pirate Who Became a Judge 1»T IS difficult te characterize the X anomalous career of the pirate known as Captain Cobham of Poole In Dorsetshire. Perhaps "cherchez la femme" would be. one way to do It, for back of most of the deviltries of this plrtite leader appears the sinister form of Maria Cobham, one of the most notorious of women pirates, and certainly the most bloodthirsty. But not all of the blame for Cobhara's cruelties can be laid to the tigerish Maria. He was well drilled In Infamy before ever he took her aboard his ship to" become his partner In crime. He had started young. At the age of eighteen he was a notorious ladles' man and accomplished smuggler. On one occasion he landed a cargo of 10,- 000 gallons of French brandy at Poole after successfully evading the king's patrol boats which were attempting to put a stop to the smuggling. A little later, however, his boat was captured and this so annoyed the young smuggler that be bought a cutter at Bridgport, placed an armament of 14 guns on her and became a pirate. His first exploit In piracy was an unusually daring and successful one. Off the Mersey he intercepted a big East India merchantman, boarded her and made the crew prisoners. From this ship he took more than 40,000 pounds; then he scuttled the ship and calmly watched the crew drown. Next he put in at Plymouth and It was there that he met Maria who was willing enough to accept his invitation to come aboard with him. By this time his fame had spread so that the Kngllsh channel became too dangerous for his operations. So he sailed across the Atlantic and Ipy In wait for ships between Cape Breton and Prince Edward isle. He took several prizes and Invariably disposed of the crews In some heartless manner. On one occasion he sewed up the unfortunate sailors In sacks and ordered his villains to toss them overboard. * Eventually Cobham decided to retire from piracy, but Maria would have none of It,-for he had not yet secured enough wealth to satisfy her. So he reluctantly continued his career until he had gathered together a considerable fortune. Then he purchased a large estate near Havre, and after one final fling at the trade settled down to a peaceful retirement. He not only settled down but became eminently respectable, and to cap the climax of his strange career was made a magistrate and presided at the county courts. When he died at an advanced age, he left many descendants who, we are assured by one historian, "were moving m the first grade at Havre!" • (£. 1»2«. We«t«rn Newipapar Union.)
