Both teams were primed up lor a battle royal, and, with the exception of the sixth round, the game was a closely contested affair. In the sixth, however, our boys tickled up the col­ ored boy with the Irish name for three hits, which, together with an error or two and a base on balls, netted our side three nice, large, juicy runs, which proved more than plenty to put the game on ice for the pale faces. Sahlberg graced the mound for the home squad, and, with the exception of the fourth inning, kept the visitors' hits well scattered. "SallyM has been pitching splendid ball of late and be­ gins to look like the 3ahlberg of last year, when he went thru the season with flying colors. Kelley, the All Star pitcher, also pitched good ball, his one bad inning being the sixth, when McHenry landed on him quite effectively. Kelley has a wonderful throw to first and he demon­ strated last Sunday that it isn't safe for a player to wander too far off the initial sack when once he gets to that station. This is not only true of first base, but the other corners of the cir­ cuit as well. The game by innings was as follows: First inning: Miranda flew out to Koob. Mann skied to Brailsford. Lind- sey out, Comiskey to "Warner. No hits, no runs. Riley was passed. Riley was caught off of first. Comisjjcey was hit by a pitched ball and took first. Opfergelt hit to Donald at short, who touched second, but his throw to first was a second or two too late to complete the double. Opfergelt stole second. Bend­ ing drew a pass. Warner out, Kelley to Davis. No hits, no runs. Second inning: Brailsford dropped Davis' long fly, on which the batter reached second. Donald out, Sahlberg to Warner, the sacrifice sending Davis around to third. Green 6ut, Sahlberg to Warner. Jones popped out to Com­ iskey. No hits, no runs. Koob Struck out. Grant out, Green to Davis. Brailsford fanned. No hits, no runs. Third inning: Wallace singled to right and was caught stealing second. Kelley Mid Miranda both fanned. No hits, no runs. Sahlberg rolled out to Davis at first. Riley met his fate in the same manner. Comiskey struck out. No hits', no runs. Fourth inning: Mann out, Sahlberg to Warner. Lindsey singled to right. Davis doubled to right, the hit sending Lindsey* to third. Donald sent a high fly to Brailsford in right, the sacrifice fly scoring Lindsey. Green drew a base on balls. Jones rolled a hot one to Riley at short, the latter relaying the bail to Comiskey ahead of Davis. Two hits, one run. Opfergelt sent a long three-base hit to center. Bending fanned. Warner pushed a slow one towards Donald at short. Donald raced in on the hit, but stumbled, and before the fleet short stop could recover himself Opfergelt had crossed the pan and Warner was resting oa the initial sack. Warner went to second on a passed ball. Koob struck out. Grant rolled an easy one to Davis at first. One hit, one run. Fifth inning: Wallace out, Sahlberg to Warner. Kelly fanned. Miranda doubled to left. Mann skied to Opfer­ gelt. One hit, no runs. Brailsford out, Lindsey to Davis. Sahlberg flew out to Donald. Riley singled past Donald and stole second/ Comiskey struck out.

Opfergelt singled to left. Bending beat out an infield hit along the first base line. Warner hit to Kelley, who threw the ball to Green, forcing Op­ fergelt at third. Bending started for third on the first ball pitched. In his attempt to head off our little left field­ er, Mr. Wallace threw badly and Bend­ ing trotted home. Warner took sec­ ond on the error. Koob was passed. Both base runners advanced a notch when Wallace let one of Kelley's speedy ones get past him. Grant sin­ gled to center, the hit scoring Warner and ]£oob.

CAME NEXT SUNDAY The Sprague-Warners of Chicago Pill oppose the McHenry Sox on the home grounds next Sunday afternoon. The Chicago team bears an excellent reputation and those who have seen them work proclaim them to bi good a team as has visited A^cHenry this season. W. S. Uckerman, the manager and catcher of the nine, is an old timer at the game and he has as- sured the McHenry manager a good game. The Chicago outfit looks ex­ ceptionally strong on paper. Either Meier or'Boehme will do the twirling for them, while Manager Walsh's choice lies between Delehanty and Sahlberg. Game will be called at the customary hour, while the usual prices of admission will prevail. BOUQUET FOR M'HENRY BOATS OUFT PISTAKEE CORRESPONDENT PAYS HUNTER BOATS A COMPLIMENT ' Owing to the fact that our Pistakee Bay reporter was late in getting his motor boat race report to us last week, The Plaindealer did not report the races in the manner that it should and for this reason we are publishing our correspondent's letter, which was in­ tended for last week's publication. The races referred to were pulled off at Fox Lake on Labor day and the following from the pen of a Pistakee enthusiast will be interesting even at this late hour: v "The Pistakee Yacht club again de­ feated the Fox Lake Yacht club in an inter-lake race between the fastest racing motor boats of the tiro clubs-- this time on Fox lake. "About thirty launches Of the Pista­ kee Yacht club accompanied the five boats representing it in the regatta. The score was 20 points for Pistakee to 15 points for Fox Lake. The Skip- owell of the winning fleet, owned by is. W. Sigler and run by his son, made the best time^twice around the six and one-half mile course, the time being 2o minutes and 20 seconds. The Hunt­ er Van Blerck, owned by Everett Hunter of McHenry, finished second in 25 minutes and 23 seconds. The Min­ nehaha and Canisteo, of the Fox Lake Yacht club, finished third and fourth. Natalia II, Helendora and Lochraine of the Pistakee Yacht club finished fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively. Mr. Shaw's hydroplane and Mr. Hall's hydroplane, both of Fox Lake, finished eighth and ninth. 'The first six boats to finish were products of the Everett Hunter boat shop at McHenry. It certainly is a great compliment to the local boat works. Mr. Hunter certainly is to be congratulated on the excellence of his product and the reliability for service attained by the boat owners of his boats." WINS FOX LAKE TROPHY HELENDORA. OWNED BY ARTHUR FRIE- STED, W»S SUNDAY'S RACB The beautiful silver trophy cup, offered for the inter-lake races be­ tween the Fox Lake Yacht club and the Pistakee Yacht club, which was won by the Pistakee Yacht club at Fox Lake on Labor day, was raced for last Sunday. This race was to deter­ mine which of the five boats of the Pistakee fleet should obtain ownership of the trophy. The race resulted in a very close fin­ ish between the Helendora, Natalia II and Skipowell, the boats finishing in the order named above. The races that have been held at Pistakee Bay and lake have revived interest in racing to such an extent that three members of the Pistakee Yacht club have already signified their intention of buying new racing boats to compete for trophies next year. This will add much to the entertain­ ment and pleasure of the owners of the many cottages along the shores of these popular waters.

" Frederick Palmer, the author of the remarkable story, "The Last Bhot," is a typical cosmopolitan. , not only knows war and the men who make war, but he knows the world and has b«en practically all over U. Mr. Palmer is a native of Pennsyl­ vania, born at Pleasantvllle in that state In 1873. He was residing In Eng­ land at the time the Grecian-Turk­ ish war of 1895 began and went to the front as'a correspondent. At the close of this war he went to the Klondike as a correspondent. He was in the Orient in 1898 when the war between he United States and Spain began, and was with Admiral Dewey at the battle of Manila, reporting it for (he London Times and a number of Amer­ ican newspapers. He remained with the American aritiy In the Philippines throughout the campaign against Agulnaldo. When the international ex­ pedition for the rescue of the foreign residents in Peking was organized at the time of the Boxer uprising in China he Joined It in the capacity of a correspondent for his papers. From 1900 to 1903 Mr. Palmer saw service In the Central and South American and the Macedonian insur­ rections. With the breaking out of war between Japan and Russia he Joined the first Japanese army in t£e field as the representative of the Lon­ don Times and Collier's Weekly, and was almost the only correspondent who saw active service with the Jap­ anese army. He was in Constanti­ nople during the Turkish revolution of 1909, and was with the Bulgarian Army throughout the Balkan war of 191948. In addition to tins active career as a war correspondent, Mr. Palmer has circled the globe with Admiral Dewey, and again with the American battle­ ship fleet In 1907-8.

M 'MM--; 4 F Phone 58-J Prompt Delivery a PLOWING NATCH SECOND ANNUAL PLOWING MATCH AND TRACTION PLOW DEMONSTRATION For several weeks the members of the Seneca Farmers' club have been making plans {or their second annual plowing match and traction demonstra­ tion to be held September 19. They have realized for some time that better methods of plowing are necessary in preparing a good seed bed, also that a power plow of some sort can be made good use of in getting their ground in good shape early in the season. With these ideas in mind they have arranged a plowing match and are offering good prizes for the best plowmen in the sulky and gang plow classes. They have also arranged to hate Sev eral manufactures of traction plows demonstrate their plows. The plows will work in a large field on the Ernest Bush farm.^about one mile west of Franklinville. This will be a practical demonstration, where the plows can be seen in operation all day. It will be an excellent opportunity to see just what the new models of power plows can do. Other exhibits of farm machinery and milking-machines are being planned for by the committee. Several of the local machine men are planning to be present with some of their more mod­ ern machinery and there will be plenty to interest one for the day. The milking machine is so perfected that it is giving excellent results in many dairies in McHenry county. You win have an opportunity here of see­ ing them in action and it will be worth every minute of your time. Modern barn equipment will also be exhibited. Come and bring you? Sin­ ners and spend the day. The plowing match and demonstration is new to most of you,v but will prove of great interest, and}he committee, consisting of F. N. Torriance, Ernest Bush, Tbos. Welcome, Mr. Williams and C. W. Colton, are working hard to make it a suoceas. , . • HUNTING LICENSE NECESSARY Many well meaning citizens forget to take out a hunting license before they go afield with dog and gun. Others do not appear to know that it is necessary to have a hunting license before they can shoot game. The hunt­ ing season is now open for ducks, squir­ rels, doves and shore birds. Men found hunting without a license are liable to be arrested py game wardens and fined from twont^fivs tp fifty dollars H. C. WAGNER, - • District Warden.
