F/l^TlcOnBER m sa iBy Puttlnr Ifp * Oiuue* That W«#ld Firt to Sh«m« Any Hljfh School Town Hie Hlite* L»m to Klein. The McHenry Blues, ^he biffh-salaried tfeHiu of baseball artists. made npuiowriy of some of Chicago's prairie leaguers, were given their flret defeat of the sea­ son »t the hands of the Elgin White Sox at the- W eat Side ball part last Sun­ day afternoon. No sach game has ever been played in McHenry as these wonld- be stars pot up (taring last Snnday's farce, it was simply potting a killing to the game. Seven large unexcosable errors, euoagh to send the great Christy Mathewson to the long and nncnt, was the kind of snpport that Boss was given. It wonld probably be well to say here that Buss is the most nnlnpky pitcher that ever twirled for McHenry. For instance, we take the second inning of Sunday's game. In this inning four runners crossed the home plate, all com­ ing thru two muffed flies "in the Out field. No pitcher on earth corttd have won the game under the circumstances. While Buss was hit quite hard, the hits were scattered and would not have made runs, but just at the most critical moment the fielders went to pieces and the result is shown iu the tabulated score. Another thing of which we cannot re­ frain in mentioning is the tine (?) jndg- rtient tised in the handling of the team. Evanson, our last year's heaviest stick­ er, and who only three weeks, ago saved a game for the locals by a fine piece of fielding, was on the bench while his place in the out-field was filled by one of those high-classed artists, his work being something grand, whatever that may be. Fine judgment, yep? Another fine piece of work of the day was this: Third inning, first man up, a man who has always batted right handed, bats left band, result a tiny pop-up to pitcher. Fine work, you bet. But let us tell you right here, the fans will not stand for any more of it. They say that they have enough of that kind of work. If we have to pay for a salaried bunch of players the fans say they Want to witness a baseball game and no farce like that of Sunday. We hope that in next Sunday's contest we may be able to witness a game of baseball as it should be played, and we also hope to see a nine made up of just the ordinary good baseball players and not a team of would-be stars, who can­ not hit a flock of balloons. In comparing last year's team with that of this year, we find that the bat­ ting at this time last year was nearly one-third better, and they played against the same class of teams at that. The score book is open for inspection at any time, which will prove above statement. In regard to last Sunday's game there is vf rv little to say, at least, we believe the less we say about it the better it would be for all. To make a long story short, we will say that eleven of Elgin's scores were presented to them and only two earned, while all Mc­ Henry's prairie leaguers oould do was to gather in two runs on nothing, only three tiny hits being made by the locals.

Th« game of baseball at tbe ball park last i?Hday afternoon, between the busi­ ness men of the East and Welst sides, was easily won by the West aiders by the one sided score of 25 to 9.- The game was one of sensational (?) plays and a lew errors were made. In the field the teams were quite evenly matched but at the bat, the victorious side had every- hing their own way, batting the little sphere to all parts of the green fields, they getting twenty one snfe driyee all told, . ^ For their humiliation the Eastertjers have a-gilt-edged excuse in that their pitcher could not get into the game, business, keeping him -'away. Had Betblte, he of olden days, been able to twirl, the score would Undoubtedly have been more even. That is the only ex­ cuse the losers have to offer. - Dr R. G. Chamberlin was in the box for the winners and he dished 'em out as if he had been out with Frank Chan­ ce's Cubs. He was never more right in all his life and he just seemed to enjoy himself at the East side's expense. Dr. Wells of the Easterners was the only one to solve the combinations to Chamber­ lin's benders, he getting three nice bingles, two of which were for extra sack, and Doc did not exert himself in running the bases at that Of course, it only takes two hops, *a„ skip and a jump for Doc to go from one base to another, so what's the use of exerting yourself? Besides his batting, Doc, who covered first in a ^tyle that woulfd put to shame some of the Blues' work of last Sunday, got a double unassisted., Now, what do you think about that? As a matter of fact it was a day for the doctors and each and every one of era showed their colors. The day's batting honors go to Dr. Beebe, who is accredited with four safe drives in as many times at bat. Beebe says it would not be right to give away the combina­ tion. Below we give the score by"innings: ' R H E East Side--1 2 0 4 10 19 9 8 West Side--8 4 5 0 1 8 7 25 21 1 NOTES OF THE GAME. Reser caught a good game for fche 'Westerners. Math.

McHenry has been looking around for a team of (daggers. They have found them, nitsky. And now they are trying to jump on the umpire for it. Such foolishness. We all saw the game. Davis, last year's third baseman, isn't fast enongh. Oh! what a joke. Jack, what do you think about it? The Woodstock Olivers defeated the Mutuals of Chicago last Saturday by the score of 13 to 6. The Olivers went to Kenosha Sunday and wore given a shut-out, 2 to 0. Towers, the man who wasn't good enongh for McHenry, is pitching splen­ did ball for the Arions of Chicago. Wouldn't that make £h$ fens long for something to happen? One of McHenry"s heavy strikers is batting .000 thus far this season. A team like that would win (?) hundreds of games. It is a perfect shame. He has participated in every game thus far this season and hit the ball safely to such "an extent as to give him the above batting average. That's great, give the fans some more likd him. GAME NEXT SUNDAY. The Woodstock White Sox will be in McHenry to battle for honors next Sun­ day afternoon. This will be the second game between these two teams this sea­ son and a lively contest is looked for.

Doctors Said He Would Not Uvs. Peter Frey, of Woodruff, Pa., writes: After doctoring for two years with the best physicians in: Waynesburg, and still etting worse, the doctors advised me if had any business to attend to I had bet­ ter attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month, as there was no cure for me. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a friend, and I immediately sent my son to the store for it and after taking three bottles I be­ gan to get better and continued to im­ prove until I was entirely well."
