VYCITAL AMERICAN STEEL FENCE POSTS They're off and that, tod, a flying start. About two hundred enthusias­ tic fans gathered at McHenry's ball yard last Sunday afternoon to witness the opening of the 1914 baseball season abd incidentally look over this year's baseball timber. x At the close of the game everyone went home feeling that we have plenty of good material at hand and if the auspicious opening may be based as a criterion, we would say that the season of 1914 will terminate into one of the best for baseball that McHenry has ever experienced. The grounds were by far the best ever given over to the sport in Mc­ Henry. The infield was as near per­ fect as it is possible to make same, while the outfield was also in good ROSE COMB HHODE ISLAND REDS Better and Redder The kind that lay from three to four times their own weight in egps, each, j>er year.

Wwnt.t We# McHenry Now to get back to ihe real topic. For the first three innings it looked like the game would be a closely con­ tested one, but when the locals onoft got their war clubs a swinging in the right direction it was all off with the visitors. In order to give the visitors a chance to catch the 5 o'clock train the game was called at the end of the eighth inning. The story of the game can be told in this manner. First inning: After having two strikes called upon him Ganter placed a pretty Texas leaguer just outside of reach of our second Backer. He stole second and third," while Miohael and Rovalsteadt were fanning. Cooper drew a pass, while Huckstadt retired on strikes' One hit, no runs. > "Bobby" Knox for McHenry drew a base on balls. Sahs flew out to Walk­ er. Brailsford laid down a pretty sac­ rifice, on which Knox took second. Aebischer went out via Cooper to Huck­ stadt. No hits, no runs. Second inning: Kelly and Walker fanned and Sahlberg and Sahs took care of Watermann. No hits, no runs. Hanlon was issued free transporta­ tion to the initial sack, but was caught in his attempt to steal second. Mc- Clellen walked and also failed in his attempt at petty larceny- Grant went out on a pop-up to Oooper.; Jio bits, no runs. Third inning: Hanlon and Sahs re­ tired Anderson and the next two men succumbed via the breeze route. No hits, no runs. Huck fanned. Sahlberg was retired by Anderson and Huckstadt, while Knox was taken in by Walker arid Huckstadt. No hits, no runs. Fourth inning: Rovalsteadt flew out to Sahs. Cooper drew a pass and a moment later was caught stealing. Huckstadt connected for a single and went to second and third on passed balls. Kelly fanned. One hit, no runs. In their half of this round all hands were called on deck and everyone of 'em made a trip to the plate. Sahs opened up the proceedings by taking three healthy swings at the sphere and withdrew to the players' bench. Brails- ford laced a pretty hit into the center garden. The hit was originally labeled for a single, but George was there with the speed and stretched same into an extra fetishion hit. Aebischer polled one into about the same place as did George, the hit scoring the man ahead of him. Hanlon laid a hot one down to Walker. Walker* made a bad peg in his attempt to double Aebischer at second, which allowed Abbie to ad­ vance another peg. Hanlon stole sec­ ond on the first ball pitched. A mo­ ment later a passed ball allowed Abbie to score, while Hanlon took third. Mc- Clellen fanned. Walker made a mess of Grant's grounder, which scored Hanlon. Huck drove a pretty one out to center for two bags, Grant taking third on the hit. Sahlberg sent the two runners across the rubber when he laced a rippin' two bagger to the right garden. He died on the center cushion when Knox fanned. Four hits, five runs. Fifth inning: Walker fanned. Wat­ ermann went out via Hanlon to Sahs, while Sahs took in Anderson's pop-up. No hits, no runs. Sahs fanned. Brailsford met his fate at the hands of Ganter and Huck­ stadt. Aebischer stopped one of An­ derson's fast ones with the south part of fraiiiC and v. ; > thereby allowed to take first unmolested. He showed his appreciation of the gift by stealing second and came home on Hanlon's classy single. Behlke, who up to this stage of the game was taking .in the sport from the players' bench, was ordered into the fray and showed the manager that the pleasure was all his by leaning on the pill for a two-sacker, the hit scoring Hanlon. He tried to steal third, but was caught. Two hits, two runs. v Sixth inning: Ganter was given life at first when "Bobby" .Knox let his grounder get away from him. The runner stole second while Michael was fanning, went to third and came home on two passed balls. Rovalsteadt fanned. Cooper singled to left and Huckstadt fanned. One hit, one rttn. McClellen fanned. Warner singled and stole second, while Sahlberg struck out. Knox fleyr out to Ganter. One hit, one run. Seventh inning: Kelly drew a pass. Dietz and Watermann fanned. An­ drews went out via Warner and liv hlU, no runs. Sahs fanned. Brailsford tinted tor left. Aebischer singled, the hit send ing Brailsford to second. At this stage of the game Cooper pulled off a trick which worked out to perfection. Han­ lon sent a short fly just back of short. '.*>"• */T" . Yi'- •V.. V ' Naturally, both base runners figured that it was an easy out and st uck to their bags. Cooper seeing this pur­ posely allowed the ball to slip thrti his fingers and shot the pill to Ganter at third, who in turn passed it along to second, thereby completing a double play and killing all chances of McHen­ ry's scoring .in this frame. Two hits, no runs. Gighth inning: Ganter was retired by Hanlon and Sahs. The next two batters were retired on strikes. No hits, no runs. Michael dropped Freund's fly. Pyke Behlke came across with another one of his famous two-baggers, which sent Freund around to the far corner. Not to be outdone, "Sally" uncorked one of his honest-to-goodness hits, which was good for three sacks, the hit' scoring Freund and Behlke. Knox was passed and stole second while Sahs was fan- ning. Brailsford beat out an infield hit, which also scored Sahlberg. Page and Hanlon fanned. Four hits, five runs. • The aoore follow*:... ttC|f "V, ELGIN " A. K.

PLAN TOLLBRIDGE ACROSS PISTAKEE PLANS. IF EXECUTED, WOULD CHANOJS GEOGRAPHY IN FOX LAKE REQIOlf ptok [ Nip- Request for permission to coo&ticuct a toll bridge across Pist&kee lake at what is known as "the point" was pre­ sented to the Lake county ^pard at the May meeting of the board Monday morning of last week. The request for a thirty-year license to operate same came from P. H. Gardiner, who stated that a company is in process of formation which will be ready to spend $30,000 in constructing it as soon as the necessary permits are secured. The promoters plan erecting a pi bridge across Pistakee lake and persink lake where they come togeth­ er, not far from the St. Paul railroad bridge. The request includes these features: 1. That the right to operate the bridge shall run twenty years.' 2. That it shall be finished inside of one year from date of( granting per* mit! * 3. That it shall be a substantial tim­ ber bridge with a suitable approach at either side capable of holding not less than ten tons; that bridge shall b$ twenty, feet wide with a ^uitabig) j^£k- knife draw in the center to permit navigation. 4. That the tolls shall be: One per­ son, 10 cents; each £wo-horse vehicle, 35 cents; each auto, 5Q cents. Mr. Gardiner explained to the board that the bridge will be a great Con­ venience to residents of the lake dis­ trict, as it permits people to get to the Lake Geneva, Johnsburgh, Spring Grove and other roads at a saving of J,wenty-five miles' travel. He stated that the bridge will cost from *20,000 to $35,000. It will be 3,000 feet long, 1,800 feet being across the water, the other distance being across sloughs. Mr. Gardiner says the men who will furnish the money have been secured pending action of the board. The request was reiferred to U^e road and bridge committee to report at next' meeting.

The Waukegan Gazette says: "On Wednesday, May 1, the quiet little town of Pox Lake, 111.,, received quite a surprise by the marriage of Herbert L. Johnson to Miss Minnie L. Snyder, only child of Ira W. Snyder. The mar­ riage occurred at the home of the bride's parents, the Rev. I.'P. Davis officiating." Miss Snyder formerly resided in this village and her many friends here send congratulations. Now is a good time to look on trees for caterpillars. They can be found ip their nests near the ends of the limbs and «re just getting out. They are not more than an eighth of an inch in length. The nest looks like the knot on the end of the limb. If taken off soon these pests can be gotten rid of with very little trouble. If left to themselves a few days they will over' run the trees and destroy the leaves.
