She was accompanied home by her mother, who has made an extended visit here with her sister, Mrs. J. W. KimbalL That the McHenry K. of C. team is traveling a pretty good pace is evidenced from the fact that the boys gave the Libertyville town team a good, hard tussle for the day's honors at the Lake county city last Sunday afternoon, the locals being defeated by the close score of 6 to 5. Those from here who accompanied the team declare that McHen should have won the game, as the of C. squad were equal to their op­ ponents in every department of the game. Miller occupied the mound for Mc­ Henry for eight innings, being re­ lieved in the ninth by "Kelly" Con­ way. Both of the McHenry flingers worked nicely and Manager Hayes is more than pleased with the exhibi­ tion that the boys put up. Libertyville has won nearly every game that they have played this sea­ son, amohg their victims being the Moore & Evans club of Chicgao, which succeeded in licking the Mc­ Henry Sox here twice last season. The McHenry outfit put up a great fielding game, while Smith, the catcher, distinguished himself with one of the longest home-run hits ever seen on the Libertyville diamond. The fans of McHenry are indeed elated over the showing made by our traveling team and everyone is pull­ ing for them to finish die season as they have started it.

Those who en­ joyed the outing were: Misses Laura Barbian, Clara Miller and Annabelle Heimer of McHenry and Misses Mar­ ian McOmber, Marguerite Friedley and Katheryn Schmidt of Chicago.
