JIMMY FAY'S VICTIM FAILS TO SHOW UP Local Boxer Disappointed Wheft Op* pomet Does Not Appear at ( the Polly Prim The weekly Wednesday night card of boxing was held at the Polly Prim last night before a crowd that was very good considering the weather. There are still a very small percentage of ladies taking advantage of the free admission. In the opener Bud Salzes took on Jack Annelorie of Crystal Lake at 160 pounds and this proved to be quite n mauling match, though very little skill was shown by either. Salzes, of Grayslake, was floored by "Annie Laurie" in the first round, but Salzes came back strong and outboxe<f the inexperienced one from Crystal Lake and managed to floor him twice and take the decision. 1%e Waukegan Daily Son wants to fcnow why Lake county tight fans are continuing to go outside their own comity when they can see just as good touts at the Palace at Antloch and ala? at Deerfield.

WILMOT TO PLAY AT JOHNSBURG SUNDAY Wet Gromds Prevented Opening of Season Last Sunday, But It Will Ocrur April 28 Due to /the unfortunate weather conditions prevailing last Sunday the grand opening of the baseball season activity. The track on the north side' at Johnsburg had to be postponed, of (he building is almost completed and find? the boys working oat most every day in preparation for comiaj, events. Coach McCrackeb baa prepared rather s. stiff schedule tor his track team, regardless of the fact that he hasn't what one would term a veteran team. The cinder path sport has never been very highly developed at M. C. H. S. but a revival is now in progress and It Is hoped that some r«al 8U.ro may be unearthed. The schedule follows: March 27--Crystal Lake, Dundee, Watrttft many Waukegan boys are on that; the third round had elaps-d when the ca*i but we believe fa glvlpg credit whare credit Is due.

This 5kh?eidersfrom last Friday until the middle of defeated. Algonquin representatives by j gnrely can box and box he did though |next week. This la to be held at Rain which fell the two days previous to the opening rendered the diamond unfit for use. It then fell to the lot of the Wilmot ball club to open the season against Johnsburg as they are scheduled to appear in our neighboring village next Sunday, April 28. The Johnsburg team, which includes several stars from our own city, was raring to go last week, but Manager Frett managed to keep them at top speed in holding several practices this week and has withheld the brand hew uniforms until reaches town. The upriver team has gone.to quite a large expense in fixing up their grounds this year by the addition of bleachers and additional seating capacity. They have also put the dia There fcs also the triangular meetjmond *n class condition and this between Hebwn, Hm?a;d and lie- [fact, coupled with that of the high postponed ?rade t«*m theX are displaying, should bring out a much larger following than ever before, a 1 >12 score in the opening game of the season at Crystal Lake. The gafee was rather loosely played as is usual at this time of year. Perhaps Crystal Lake has at last formed a team worthy of recognition for Algonquin always puts a pood team on the field and any aggregation thai beats them must be given credit Fbr the good of the tennis courts at the High School all players not wearing tennis shoes are requested to stay off. With a little reasoning anyone can readily see that It is for the betterment of nla own game that this rule is meant for a court cannot be kept in A-l shape If it Is being continually dug up with hard heels and coles. It is also wise to keep off the courts when they are soft from the results of a proceeding shower. The inclement weather of last Veek certainly raised havoc with athletic events scheduled for that period. A11 events at the high school including tennis, playground baseball and track were at a standstill until the ground dried up enough to permit UBing the courts field and track. A triangular track meet which was to be ran off at Harvard wi|h Hebron, McHenry and Harvard as the participants was postponed from last Friday until Tuesday, April 30. the down river boy tried to fight and I Harvard. science finally told as Red continued The tennis courts The racing peason in the Chicago District will "be opened to the fans on May first, at which time the track at Aurora will swing Into action. The officials there have applied for a license permitting them to remain open from May 1 to May 25, paying for that license just $1,500 per day. Think that one over. One racing fan suggested that 1 attempt to pick the winners but I declined, not wishing to show up some of the other guessers l?y hitting one right once in a while. to beat him to the punch, landing some hard blows to the head. Schneider finally sent one hard enough to knock out his man in the third round after one minute and seven seconds. The usual thrilling scrap was put on when Howard Craft, Polly Prim A. C., met Freddie Spence of Belle Flaine A. C., and Howard finally met his match in this game lad from the big city. In the opening round Craft floored his man twice with hard blows to the solar plexus, each time for a nine count, but Freddie had Just enough left each time to finish out the round. The second round he came back strong and evened the match with several hard blows to Craft's head just before the round ended, fn the thrrd round Craft was forced to hang on and cover up continually to prevent being floored for the count. Both boys must be commended for their splendid gameness and sportsmanship and no one will say otherwise when they think this fight over. Imagine coming back after being knocked down twice with hard blows to the solar plexus and winning the fight. And most of us know that Howard Craft is one who always fights, fights hard hut clean. A return match will be worth looking at. After the intermission the ring was occupied by Oscar OUannion of Waukegan, the clever, hard-hitting southpaw, and Johnnie Keams of Chicago at 110 pounds. This Lake county boy possesses a powerful left as well as a good head and an ability to duck the bad ones. Kearns is clever but lacks a good hard punch and was forced to take a trimming in three rounds, aouth of the school Is wlMPe the mosti activitiy is centered as it affords competitive sports for beginners as weir as oldt'mera. The singles tournament has reached the stage where only five boys are left in "the running. Meyers, Patzke, Schreiner, Anderson and Frett are those that have withstood all competition, with Frett and Schreiner the ranking players,, though this means nothing as any one of the contestants may spring up and upset the dope. Not willing to let the boys cop all the limelight the high school girls, under the direction of Miss Doherty, have formed a doubles R. Pregenzer of Antioeji put Northern Illinois into the spotlight of outboard motor racing when he took third place in the annual Hudson Tiver event for outboard motor crafis last Saturday. The winner was Jacob Dimmell of Boston, who set a new record of 3 hours, 3-6 minutes It will be remembered that these two teams battled ten innings to a 3 to 2 score in the final game of the 1928 season. It will pay you to be on hand next Sunday to watch the new lineup show some sparkling baseball. Wihnot vs. Johnsburg, April 28. IDLE WHILERS CLUB Mr. and Mrs. Albert R.

Upon looking over the faces at the Jtolly Prim boxing matches it is easily •een that there are more strange faces than those of townspeople. This in a strange fact, but nevertheless true. When one considers that the cards at the Prim are as good as any around here and are steadily growing better. The bout between O'Hannion of Waukegan and Alex Kaslow of Chicago was a topnotcher and would Chiperke of Elgin a few weeks ago with a stiff left jab but Pence was far to clever to allow this and kept boring in to land some hard blows to Brown's body. This Brown seems to have one punch and after that he retires. Pence would follow this up to his own advantage and piled up a large margin of points to take the decision in three rounds. The fights hardly could be said to come up to the standard of the last few weeks but Promoter Huck could hardly be blamed as his men failed ENTERTAINS BUNCO CLUB Mrs. Fred Nichels, Jr., entertained the members of her bunco club at her home on Wednesday afternoon of last week. Three tables of bunco were in i>l*y and the first prize was won by Mrs. Roy Smith, the second was awarded to Mrs. Mat Laures and the consolation went to Mrs. James Beavis. Mrs. J. J.

The difficulties of this performance may be better realized when it is explained that a score of 269 had stood for over a year and a half until Tryon rolled his big game, only to have it bettered by one pin in a game rolled by his bowling partner of many years standing.
