While the grounds, esp&jffttly the outfield, were in anything but-suitable condition for ^ood baseball,. and in spite of the 5heavy fall of rain which came after one inning of play,'the two teams went the full route of nine in­ nings. . • . The local boys, allowing for the bad condition of the grounds, at times dis­ played very poor iKiseball knowledge, while their op|xmants weren't much better in this department of the game. Thru their piston nances Sunday it was plainly seen that in order to de­ velop into a real ball team the locals must have at least three or four nights of practice and drilling every week. We are satisfied that the material for a fairly good t?am is at hand, but the boys can stand for ipuch instructing and drilling. The members of: the local team are getting into shape for next Sunday's contest and by the* end of this week the boys hope to have overcome at least some of their weak points and the fans can rest assured tliat the locals will' show a marked improve­ ment, over'last Sunday's performances. Getting back to Sunday's contest, we, will say that the box score doesn't be­ gin (o tell the real story of the game. First of all, the score keeper found it rather a ditlicult task to keep tab of all the misplays that were made on b3th sides, so the box soore, as is ap­ pears below, isn't perfect so liar (ut tbe error column is concerned. | _ We do not mean to Infer that the game was a ragged one thruout. Not in the least., for there w6re some stages of the performance when fiymp- tons of real baseball were displayed and this has given us the impression that there is some baseball in the Mc­ Henry boys. McHenry started to put the game on ice right from the very beginning and until the fourth round, when McHenry gave a grand demonstration of how not to play baseball, it looked like the locals would have pretty easy^sailing. They registered a run in the first as a result of a base on balls, two ertxtrs and a hit; two in the second on two hits and an error; two in the fourth on a pass, hit and a pair of errors; two in the sixth on an error and three hits; one in the seventh on an error, two stolen bases and a sacrilicp hit and one in the eighth on two errors and a hit. Volo's first tally came in the fourth. WTiiis tally came as a result of McHen­ ry's anxiety to give every player in the~game a chaoce to throw the ball to a pbint that was not covered by a player. As a result of this series of wild throws, Volo's first run was manu­ factured. Their second counter came in the fifth stanza and was the result a hit, two errors and a sacrifice. Three tallies were registered in the sixth and for a time it looked like Volo would put the game on ice right there and then. R. Vasey Opened up the round by grounding to Aebiseher and was thrown out at first. O. Padlock was safe at first when M. Knox failed to get under his lly. Peterson mixed things terribly on L. Paddock's ground­ er and as a result the batter reached first in safety, while his brother was also advanced a peg. Welch, the boy who is some there with the mitts, hit safely and O. L-adgpck scampered across the counting station. Things looked mighty blue for McHenry at this stage of the fracas. Casper's short fly was gobbled up by Gibb6 &ud this feat somewhat relieved the strain on our worthy side wheeler, who at (his time was in bad. With the mighty Hanson at the bat and two men on the paths there sure was some cause for worry on the part of the McHenry dinger. After looking over one or two Hanson landed on one" of Peter- sou's port siders for three sacks, both base ruuners scoring on this beautiful hit. The next man up went out on a foyl.to Huck and thus the crisis came to an e&l. Peterson tightenedup in the seventh round and set the opposing batsmen out in one, two, three order. In the eighth Volo again threatened to cavry home the bacon. The inning opene^ up most auspiciously for the visitors. To begin with, O. Paddock uncorked a slashing two-bagger to right field and went to third on a passed ball by Huck. L. Paddock struck out. Welch sacri­ ficed to short and ib his haste to get O. Paddock at home the fleet little short stop made a bum throw and all hands were safe. C as pet* advanced Welch to third on a<ueat and timely siugle. Hanson grounded to "Bobby" Knox, who headed Caspec off at sec­ ond, but the ball could not be played home soon enough to prevent Welch from registering. The inning ended With Peterson striking out*,.; 'The box soore follows: Snrt h AeltiM'iit'r, :i«| i,~ K. Fround. 1 f & r r/.l.O U. Knox. ss_ . rii' Ull)>»s, i<f i»* M .

STRUCK br ENGINE Station Agent J. 1\ Lynch of Itidge- field met with a very serious :iccident on Monday noon, when he was struck by a freight engine. The unfortunate man suffered serious injuries to his right arm, two broken ribs on his left side and numerous bruises about the head and upper part of his body. That he was not killed outright itf a miracle and his many triends will be pleased to know that he will recover. M Lynch's unconscious form was picked up by eye witnesses to the accident and carried to his home, which , is a short distance from the station. He did not regain consciousness until the following morning, but since that time, under the able care of Dr. Hull of Crystal Luke, is showing improvement. Mr. Lynch has been station agent at Ridgefield for many 'years and has al­ ways been highly regarded the Chi­ cago <fe Northwestern Railroad cotu- cpauy, with which he is employed. The family has resided at SLtidgelield for over twenty years and the numerous friends of the unfortunate man sin­ cerely hope that his complete recovery will come soon. THANKS PATRONS AND FRIENDS The pupils and teacher of room four of McHenry public school wish to thank all who $o kindly assisted us tag day. The receipts of the day were $05.84, which is proof of the real interest and kindness of our friends and patrons. William Bickler brought<1n $5.85, Ed­ ward Buss $5.45j Varina Wentworth, $5.08, and all disposed of thier tags, only three bringing in less than 91. A piano has been purchased and ts now being used in room four, the total ex­ pense of the piano being covered by the tag day fund. We extend a cordial invitation to all to be-present at the exhibit on Friday of tins week and when passing thru room four view the piano, which is truly appreciated. We again thank all. v Respectfully, Miss FIA>RKNCK K. HOWE. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED POM FOR BUSY PEOPLE.

' PREPARING THEIR 9UMNER HOMES » The beautiful spring days of the past two weeks have brought out many olphe cottage owners, who are getting their places in shape for the summer. A few of theJSbtfagers are already out and ft now looks as if the resorters will :fll be out earlier than usual this year. Those who have made the trip from Chicago by, auto declare the roads to be th# best ever for time^of tbe -- .• The city firemen of Elgin will here­ after receive fifteen days' vacation each year. There are now 1,595 inmates con­ fined at the Elgin state hospital for the insane. *v The city of Elgin may soon have a street railway loop, which will do away with the dumping of passengers at Fountain Square in the heart of tho city. Ernest F. Fues, who during the past twenty-one years has been connected with* newspaper work/at Woodstock, has been appointed city auditor by Mayor Olson. It is reported that the Public Ser­ vice Company of Northern Illinois has acquired all of the public utilities of Peoria, the deal aggregating about $7,600,000. The properties inoluded in the merger consist of street railway, gas and electric plants. The Business Men's association of Woodstock lias set out in a city and country beautiful campaign. To in­ duce the city as well as rural residents to get busy and beautify their prem­ ises they have hung up a list of valu­ able prizes to be distributed among those who demonstrate the best efforts in this direction. llife5 Chicago branch of the Boy Scouts of .America has bought a big tract of land north of Crystal Lake. About $0,000 have b^en"appropriated for the construct ion of a building which will accommodate about 120 boys. The structure will lie 70 feet wjde and 80 feet long, 2 stories in height. The dining hall, running down one side of the building, will be 30 by 80 feet. A porch on the south side, facing Crystal Lake, will extend the entire length of the building. Water will be pumped to the building by means of a small water plant to be operated by the boys who are to spend their summer vaca­ tions here. The contract calls for its completion before June 1. In reading our exchangep we are led to believe that the saloons will grow less in number each year from now on. In many of the cities , and villages thruout the state the number of saloons have been cut down during the last two years. Sterling, 111., is among the latest cities to cut 'em down and this spring granted a license to only twelve thirst emporiums. Sterling has a pop­ ulation of about 8,000. Woodstock, with a imputation of about 5,000, has ten saloons, while Genoa, 111., with a population of 1,100 has four. Genoa another city that has cut down. Last year the city had five thirst par- lore, while this year they will do with one less. At Sterling the saloons pay $l,50p license. Woodstock and Genoa get $1,000 per year license from their saloons. North Crystal Lake, with a population about the same as McHen- has five saloons whicfi payjB 1,000 per year license. In many of the Wis­ consin cities and towns theynumber of saloons have been decreased "this sprjiffc, which plainly shows that the Ameri­ can people are beginning to realize that too many saloons are a detriment to any locality. YOLO SOYS RESCUE 1WO OTHERS •SUNDAY With a prayer on his lips, Emil Nau- jean, a Chicagon, gave up his life Sun­ day to save two from drawing. Jn company with Mr. and. Mrs.at3eo. Boynton, Chicago residents, Naujean w^s fishing from h row boat on Fish lake, near Volo, Sunday afternoon. A sudden squall swamped the boat. Boynton, stfti clutching the keel of the overturned boat', saved his wife. Nau­ jean cast but one look at the tw6 peo­ ple who were fighting for their lives.

"We can'trtake you into the boat, we'll pick up the woman first," shouted one of the members of the rescue party. Even then the waves werfe breaking over the rescue boat. With both boys tugging at the oars tliijy managed to keep their frail craft up onto the wind until they mitf reached a point wind­ ward of theXwo people. Then they permitted their boat to drift down to the swamped craft. Mrs. Boynton was the first to grab the stem of tbe rescue boat. "Don't try to pull yourself into our boat.
