The past week has been a very active one for base ball in McHenry and in summing up the various frames played our teams came out with their share of honors. To begin with the Gray slake married men's team came to McHenry last Fri­ day afternoon and again showed the "Has Been*" of onr village that they are a fast bunch, defeating the looala by the close score of 16 to 10. About one hundred peo^jte turned out to wit­ ness the contest and all felt amply re­ paid for turning out as the game proved Very entertaining. Of course no one went out to witness a professional $ame as the days of ball playing for most of the men taking part in the con­ test, are long past. Taking everything into consideration the game was not so bad and at some stages good plays were numerous. Reiser, who played center field for McHenry. put up an exception­ ally good game, both in'the field aud at the bat. Besides pounding out two t wo-base hits and a neat single, he is credited with three put outs., Gallaher ileo played a good game at short, hay­ ing six assists and two put outs to his credit. The Grayslake team is a hard hitting bunch aud when once started to pound the pig skin they never know when it is time to stop, but McHenry hit the ball a few themselves, Clark having only four strike-outs to his credit.

Before one of the largest crowds of" the season the McHenry Greens met and defeated the Elgin Court of Honor team in the second game of the series last Sunday afternoon. The game was the hardest fought contest of the sea­ son, both teams going into the game with a winning determination. The Greens well remembered the roasting they received after tbe previous Elgin game, when they were defeated, and made up their minds that the McHenry fans would never again have the oppor­ tunity of witnessing such a farce on their part and went into the game as they never did before, the result being a well earned victory for McHenry . "Captain Jack" Thurlwell, who held the Greens down to three runs and three hits in the previous contest, was again in the box for the visitors, bnt be­ fore the game had gone three innings the Greens found the combination to his curves and landed on him in a shameful manner. The scores with bnt two exceptions for the locals were all earned, thus making the contest all the more interesting. The visitors opened the game in a way that made the fans fear for the outcome, but after the Greens had once found the ball this fear was soon over­ come. In the first inning the first two Elginites to bat fanned tbe air and it looked as if the inning would be a white-wash for the Watch city players. But with two gone Fairchilds hit out a neat single Which was followed by Thompson's scorching drive, which scored the former. Schroder ended the trouble with an easy fly to Heimer. The fourth ronnd saw Elgin score their second run. Franz, the first man up in this inning, was safe at first on Davis' error, he stole second while Thurlwell was striking out and in an attempt to patch him stealing third Evanson threw low to Davis and the runner came home. Fierke flew ont to right and Whitman struck, at three bad ones. Their last two scores came in the sixth on singles by Fairchilds and Mann and a double by Acker man. In the succeed ing three innings but one of the visitors was able to reach the initial sack. MoHenry made her first two rnns in the second inning. F. Schreiner was an easy out on a fly to short, Evanson struck out, but Buss connected safely and stole second. Heimer was safe at first on an error by Thompson and Thurlwell gave the runner an oppor­ tunity to score on a timely single, the latter finished the inning by being nip­ ped at the second pillow. The locals did not score again until the sixth when singles by bending, Evanson, Buss and a double by Heimer, netted three runs. With the score five to four at the end of the sixth inning, both teams played perfect ball from that time to the end of the game. The last score for the Greens came in the eighth when all hope of scoring had been given np. Buss, the first man to face the pitcher in this inning was an easy out via Witman to Thompson. Heimer could not connect and was retired on three strikes. J. Thurlwell waited long enough to have four balls called on him and soon after stole second, coming home on Wait's two-base hit over een ter. Davis closed the session by cutting three large holes into the atmosphere. Elgin had three stolen base* to her credit Evanson makes 'em keep pretty t •, •;> * • - -v* ».*•«>* • .1^4 v-iSafr .870 .367 .360 .344 .21>o .881 .228 .314 .185 .185 ,176 443 NOTES FOR FANS. Bending easily wott the battitig honors last Sunday. S. Topfell's team of Chicago will be here next Sunday. f Davis had a bad day with the stick, but he is always in the game. Waite is credited with a hit for an ex­ tra sack, driving in Thurlwell. Richmond lost to the Chicago Moni­ tors last Sunday. Score 2 to 0. It was a hard pill for Elgin to swall- er, bnt they had to take their medicine. Heimer is finding the ball again. That timely two-base hit of his was a dandy. Waite, Evanson, Buss, J. Thurlwell and Schreiner each have a stolen base tb their credit. , The deciding game of the series be­ tween Elgin and MoHenry will be played here August 37. Gibbs made a nice catch of Buss* high one in the second inning. He Also made a neat doable play, unassisted in the eight. The Dundee Green defeated the Un* ions at the latter's grounds last Sunday in a hotly contested eleven-inning game. The score was 4 to 3. It was a shame to strike ont "Captain Jack" twice, but Bending said he jast wanted to even things up a little. The latter got three safe ones off of Thurl­ well, one a two bagger. Somebody who has looked deeper than tbe ordinary observer gives this history of baseball. The Devil was the first coacber. He coafched Eve, and when Eve stole first, Adam stole second. When the servant of Isaac met Rebeca at the well she was walking with the pitcher. Samson struck out a good many times when he beat the Phili­ stines. Moses made the first home ran when he slew the Egyptians and Cain made a base hit when he slew Abel. Abraham made a sacrifice. The prodi­ gal son made a home run. David was long distance thrower, and Moses shut out the Egyptians at the Red Sea. Although the Greens have already fought several hard battles their har­ dest games are yet to come. The S. Topfell team, which comes next Sun­ day, is composed of a lot of ball players eioh and evory rmo of thom, most all of them being old in the business. Among the other strong teams on the schedule are the Three Kings, who come here September 2, with the strongest lints up within their reach; the Elgins, August 37. Palatine, considered one of the Strongest teams, aiound Chicago, is also booked and the manager will try hard to get the Woodstock Reds over before the season comes to a close. The Reds, as yon all know, claim the championship of McHenry coanty and the Greens are overly anxious to battle with them. GAME NEXT SUNDAY. The locals will have to face another hard proposition next Sunday when they meet the S. Topfell team of Chica­ go. The manager of this team has seen the Greens in action on several differ­ ent occasions and promises that in order to win next Sunday's contest they will have to play better than ever before as the windy city team is not classed among either the'Pastimes or Senators. The teams will play for a purse of fifty dollars and both will do their utmost to take the coin. The Greens fully realize that their opponents next Sunday will give them the hardest kind of, a tussel, so are patting in hard practices daring the week. The game will be called promply at 2:80 p. m. If you enjoy a good game don't fail to tarn oat. OSTEND WINS ANOTHER. The Gstend team, accompanied* byt three McHenry Greens, went to Nunda last Saturday afternoon where thru good, hard playing defeated the Nunda Rivals by the close score of 2 to 1. The Ostend team iB made up of a lot of good ball players and if they keep np this gait they will soon have a team that can compete with all of 'em. The game last Saturday was one of the closest and most exciting ever played in Nunda and the defeated ones are still wonder­ ing how it happened. The Rivals were booked to play McHehry about, three weeks ago, but did not make their ap­ pearance. Ostend on hearing of this decided to go to Nnnda and play them right at their home, jast to show them that they are made up of tbe right hind of stuff that makes a ball team Tbe feature of the game was the . fast fielding of the Ostend team. SENG'S BUNCH IS DEFEA' Lambert Q. Seng came out from Chi­ cago last Sunday morning with one of tbe jolliest company of gentlemen that ever came out from the windy city. Among the lot were nine men who knew a thing or two about base ball and a game which had been previously arranged was pulled off at the ball park Sunday forenoon. The Seng's were clad in neat uniforms of white (overalls) and wore white caps with tbe manag­ er's name lettered thereon. The game proved very interesting and was en­ joyed by. all, especially those taking part. Little Johnny Preston, Jr., a youth of twelve years opened the game for the visitors, striking out two men in the first inning, after which he gave way to their regular t wirier; The Chicagoites were conveyed to the ball park from the depot by four gray horses hitched to Wm. Holtz's new 'bnss, while the McHenry team was driven down in a hay-rack pulled by a team of males. Only six innings were played to give the visitors time to take a trip to beautiful Pistakee, where a most pleasant afternoon was spent by all. Before leaving the park however Mr. Hille had been sent for to take a picture of the group. The score of tbe game was S to. 4, in favor of the home team.
