The visitors presented a different line-up from that of their former ap­ pearance here and also brought with them Fierke, the little light-colored gent, who, in his day, was papable of making the best of 'em bite the dust. Fierke had not pitched very much in the last two years and as a result was far from himself. He was wild and very wabbly at times, which accounted for at least three of Mc Henry's scores. He passed four batters and hit another. Three of the four men he passed scored. While these uncomfortable things may be said about the .Elgin lad, he re­ deemed himself in part by whiffing ten local batters and driving in one of El­ gin's runs with a two-^>ase hit. Nelson, a Chicago lad with a fairly good assortment of curves and some speed, pitched all except the last inning for the home boys $nd behaved himself quite well. He allowed the visitors but five hits and struck out nine bat­ ters. Koob, who pitched the last in­ ning, got off to a bad start and with a bit of bum support and the Elgin lads came very nigh winning the contest in that frame. The visitors were held scoreless up to the fourth inning. In this round, after ̂ 'Aebischer had gathered in El- dred'fc fly to center, Bunker singled, stole second and came home on J. Christensen's single, the latter going on to second on the throw to the plate. Belrichard sacrificed. Page fumbled Lange's grounder, J. Christensen scor­ ing. Smith was safe on first on Gibbs' error. Walker struck out. In the fifth Gibbs took care of W. Christensen's grounder. Fierke doubled to left and went to third on a passed ball. Eldred fanned. Bunker's ground­ er got away from Bobby Knox, the error letting Fierke score. J. Christ­ ensen bounced one down to Knox, who doubled Bunker at second. In the seventh Aylward, who had replaced Walker in the center garden, singled to left. A moment later he scored on W. Christensen's double to center. Knox and Gibbs killed Fierke, Eldred fanned and Bunker went out via pitch to first. With the score standing^ 8 to 4 in favor of McHenry, Elgin came up in the last round and came very near win­ ning the contest. Some of the fans thought it would be a good idea to stick Koob in for the last round and just to satisfy the fans the acting man­ ager sent Koob in. Without a bit of warming up, Koob faced the Elginites in the last. He started off by hitting the first man up, while Fierke sent the runner around with a long two-base hit to center. Eldred struck out. Bunker was safe on Knox's error, J. Christensen and Belrichard fanned. McHenry scored two runs in the sec ond round. Koob and Behlke^ walked. Knox sacrificed, Brailsford struck out. Gibbs, who had been doing some very timely hitting, in the last one-half dozep games, proved himself equal to the occasion by shooting a single to > center, the hit scoring the two runners ahead of him. Nelson whiffed. McHenry's big inning came in the fourth. Nelson drew a base on balls and went to third on Page's single. Page stole second on the first ball pitched. Huck ,hit an easy. 6ne to Fierke, who delivered the pill to Smith. Smith let the throw get away from him add Hucky was safe, while Nelson scampered home from third. Page and Huck advanced a peg on a passed ball. Aebischer and Koob fanned. Behlke slammed out a two-bagger, the hit scoring the two runners ahead of him. Knox duplicated Behlke's feat, Behlke scoring. Brailsford fanned. Huck started the eighth by fanning. Aebischer singled and went to third on K(!)ob's single, Koob going to second on the throw to the plate. Behlke sent Koob across the counting station with 'a single to center.' Knox flew out to W. Christensen, who nailed Behlke at the pl&te.

Cliristoiisea, as 1 nlt'lricharfl, 3rd Again we say, boys, cut out the dirty baseball. For if you don't, someone will get a jolt some of these times that will send them to the hospital. The visiting players are wise to the dirty players and will watch them closely during the games in the future. This should be sufficient warning for those who have been in the habit of playing dirty ball. Not only does this create a feeling among the visiting players, but among the fairminded fans as well. The fans will not staod for it and will not turn out to watch the stuff pulled off. BATTING AVERAGES Koob §00 Gallaher,. iS.a,.333 Knox 327 P.

The Collegians have won the most of their games thus far this season and are now out for the amateur championship for the city of Elgin, w^ich they won last year. The Collegians are, by far, the best amateur team that the city of El­ gin can boast of and in order to win McHenry must play the very best game of the season. The locals are not at all worried over the game and will endeavor to make even the Col­ legians suffer the sting of defeat next Sunday. This is a game that you can­ not well 'afford to miss, as it gives promise of being a hummer. If Mc­ Henry wins next Sunday our boys will know that they are capable of going up against something pretty good in the future.

The fans don't pay their two bits to watch such raw stuff and the sooner this class of "dumb" baseball is out out the better it will be lor all concerned.

SOME DAY HE'LL DIE Some months ago a cranky sort of an old man came into this office and stopiied his paper because something in it did not just suit his fancy. We have frequently met him on the street since that, time, and it is amusing to note the look of surprise on the old fellow's face that we are stiLl in ex­ istence regardless of the fact that he stopped his paper. Some day--and it won't be lodg either--that old gentle­ man will turn up his toes. His heart will be stilled forever. Neighbors and friends will follow his lifeless clay to the silent city and lay it to rest among the dowers. An obituary will be published in these columns, telling what a kind father, .(a good neighbor and beloved citized he was--which the recording angel will overlook for char­ ity's sake, and in a very short time he will be forgotten. As he lies out there in the cold, cold ground, wrapped in the silent slumber of death, he will never kobw that the last kind word spoken of him may be by the editor of that papier, which in life he so spite­ fully "stopped." Did you ever pause just a moment and think that your editor, whoever he may be, may write your obituary some day?
