FARMS FOR SALE--Inquire of C. - ° •• , ̂ . JW. Stenger,' West McHenry State Over $400 Are Contributed Towards j j^an]c> .19 Maintenance of a Team---Richard B. Walsh Will Be Manager That McHenr^ will have another j»ood baseball team in the field during the coming sumiper is now an assured fact, as Messrs. Raymond Howard and M?. A. Conway,^ who "solicited the town and country for the purpose of accunititating. funds' with which to finance the team, have been success­ ful in securing ovor $4O0 for the pur­ pose and. before they get thru they hope to have $450 in tlie bank. That the business men, fans and country folks residing in the vicinity of McHenry want another good team here this summer is evidenced from the manner in which the solicitors were received during their* rounds in the* past week or two. They received very few tup^doWns. Since these two gentlemen were kind enough to go out and secure the funds with which to finance the, ball club, Mr. Walsh has again consented to manage the. team, which will be gratifying news to the baseball fans and public in general. The manager has asked us to an­ nounce that the first try-out will be held at the baseball park next Sun­ day afternoon and everyone who wishes to makea try for the team should be on hand early, as it is the desire of the manager to start the season as soon as possible. - In an' interview with Manager Walsh the writer was informed that he has had letters from a score or more ball players who desire an op­ portunity to try for a place on the team and it looks as if he will ex­ perience very little trouble in build­ ing up yb ball club as good, if not better, than the,teams that have rep­ resented McHenry during the, past two seasons. , 1 Roy Sahlberg, George Brailsford, Johnny Koob, Walter Warner, Peter Ann/fen, Jack Mitchell and John Grant have all asked to be given an oppor­ tunity for a try-out with the team and the manager is looking for all of these boys to be on hand next Sun­ day. McGloon, who was given a trial at first brfse last year, will also be here for another chance. Mc­ Gloon has informed Manager Walsh that he played out of his regular po­ sition when he covered first base here last year and that he hoped to make good at the receiving end of the battery. ' Sahlberg, Brailsford . and Koob are all members of last year's team and 'the fans are already too well acquainted with these young men for us to introduce them. Annen was given a trial in the outfield last year, but this year he hopes to be given a chance at an infield position. Bill Bowen, who covered short last year, will be one of the first to re­ port to Manager Walsh, as he is par­ ticularly anxious to gain a place on thevteam, as there isnt a small town in the country that he would rather play in than McHenry., However, to give everyone a fair chance to 'make the team, Manager Walsh has asked us to state that a special invitation is extended to the home players to come out next Sun­ day and try for the team. McHenry has developed some pretty fair base­ ball timber during the past two sea­ sons and it looks to us as if at least one or two of these players will stand a good chance of making the team.

John, while a member of .the McHenry squad, became quite & favorite with the fans and it looks as if he will make a strong bid for the team this year. Jack Mitchell is employed at the Rosedale greenhouses. He has played on several good teams and ,seeips very anxious for a chance. Ther6 are also several others who have written to the McHenry man­ ager for a try-out and it looks as if next Sunday will see a small army of players on hand. Much Work to Be Done There is much work to be done between now and the opening game of the season and the manager is en­ titled to every assistance that the fans and followers of the sport here may be able to tender him. The grounds, especially, are sadly in need of attention and in order to get same in shape for the Sunday practice a clean-up day has been suggested for Saturday afternoon. The sugges­ tion struck Manager Walsh as a mighty good one and in response to his request we wish to state that every follower of the sport and those who . wish to see the park in shape next Sunday are kindly asked to apt- pear on the grounds next Saturday afternoon armed with a shovel and hoe or scraper. A number of the young fellows around town are now enjoying a half holiday on Saturday and this will give them an opportu­ nity of giving a fqpw hours of their time for the good of the ball club. tLe.t all who can do so be on hand Saturday afternoon. Meeting May 20 , A public meeting will be held at the village hall here on Saturday ^evening, May 20. The purpose of the meeting will be to talk over plans fot the season and receive any and all suggestions that players, fans and supporters of the game may make.

Howard and Conway is to be commended, as it was thru the sole efforts of these two men that the ball was set to rolling, which has finally developed the grat­ ifying fact that we are again to have team. Those who contributed to the cause also have the thanks of the manager and players, as without the prevailing spirit among these good people a team would be out of the question. • Date Not Set The date for the opening game has not as yet beep set. Manager Walsh does not want to open the season until after the summer schedule of train service becomes effective. It will be remembered that the season began early in May last year and for the first two or three Sundays it was found necessary to carry the players to Crystal Lake and other points by automobile. This entailed a consid­ erable expense and one that the man­ ager hopes to avoid this sesaon. Everyone is hoping that .conditions may be such that the opmiing game may be played no later \ than two weeks from next Sunday, May 28. Co-operation Is Neeotai To make this season's teamNa suc­ cess co-operation on the part -of, every fan in and around McHenry is needed. It is hoped that this spirit will prevail and that the season of 1916 will be one of the biggest and most successful that McHenry has ever had. With the proper co-oper­ ation this can and will be accem- plished. Make up your mind right now to do your share' in bringing about this much desired end.
