Suppose the Bolger Drugs will be there after dropping out of the limelight in such niggardly fashion in the final mat^h of the season? Ed. Kelfey and Barney McCoy of Kansas City rolled what is believed to be a new world record in the doubles when they hit 1450 in a sanctioned league on an A. B. C. Alley in the city. This was nine pins better than the 1441 record set up recently by Leo Mueller and Jess Young of Minneapolis. Richardson was a lucky boy last week-end when he captured the singles sweepstakes with his • 634 series. Its a good count all right, but when one stops to think that this Wilkenning of Libertyville only lost out by one pin and had a railroad in the last frame of the last game the element of luck is readily apparent. This third place was the third won by the MAACS in the last four years. Their first was at Huntley four years ago when they took Hebron into camp after being knocked out by the old Jelkes. Two years ago they beat Wauconda in the consolation event and this year it was the West Side A. C.

The McHanry-Wauconda affair in the semi-finals was one of those nip and tuck scuffles that might have gone either way at any time up to the final whistle. The fact that Wauconda was ahead when the whistle blew does not clearly indicate their superiority over the locals, in spite of the fact that they won three out of the four games these two teams have played this year. The score was never more than three points apart, Wauconda leading at the first quarter, 9-8, McHenry at the half 13-12. At the tlfi*jl quarter th 190 160 195 129 184-- 495 171-- 519 142-- 492 164-- 523 189-- 451 775 855 Electrics 168 157 98 178 178 187 J. Frett ....... 166 Average 143 J. Bolger 159 B.

Schaefer 166 managed to keep just one basket ahead of the MAACS all the way down the stretch. All the way through the last quarter the MAACS matched basket for basket with the Wauconda team but just couldn't get the jump on them long enough to get into the lead. A free hrow half a minute before the time was up brought them within one point but the gun went off ere the ball could be thrown up at center. Another break. Gus Freund played his best game of the year and sunk six baskets and a free throw for hign scoring honors. Coty was the All-Stars high man with five and two and most of those came when they hurt most. On the whole the MAACS were off on their shooting and had they been sinking them as they did in the previous games the result might have been different. All that can be said about the game is that it was one of those tilts where both teams gave all they had and breaks might at any minute have turned the tide in either. The consolation game of the evening, in spite of the close score, was just another game as far as the MAACS were concerned.

Richardson took first place in the open doubles sweepstakes at the Palace Alleys last Saturday and Sunday. Only six of the thirty entrants were from McHenry and it was indeed fortunate that the winner was a local man. Rich rolled 247 to start his series and then rolled 189 and 198 to turn in his high count of 634 which netted him $18.75 for his troubles. F. Wilkenning of Libertyville hit 235, 200, and 198 to take second money. $11.25. The $7.50 prize was captured by J. Lama of the Waukegan Recreation with 222, 214, and 179 for a 615 series. Wilkenning had an excellent chance to better Rich's mark but a railroad in the last frame of bis final game took away the opportunity. Earl Monear announces a sweepstake singles for local bowlers only to take place March 8 and 9. Entry fee will be $1.00 per man. , Art Meyers and Bill Bickler rolled oiucia iivaiiw "•«»• -- bang but j two pretty series in the competition before the second quarter was far gone | for pajr Qf Floresheim shoes of 1t.h1. »e iMf AA AA COS got undnei>r salill aonn/d1 fraampi/d1 . • * « v» if ./™i x.1_ _ it.n ly passed the Lake County lads, leading 18-10 at half time. From there they were content to coast in, playing a delayed stalling game throughout the final period. They made but six points in the last half but that was sufficient to withstand the late rally that their rivals put on to secure,third place. Kenyon, chosen captain of the all-tournament team scored but one freethrow in this game. Manager Kirwan reports that this fered by Ray McGee for the three high consecutive games rolled on the Palace Alleys before March 15. Meyers totalled 668 on alley two and when he finished he found that Bickler, on alley three, had a splendid opportunity to better it, but the best that Bickler could do was 650. Each had a 244 game as their high mark and at present they hold joint claim on high score for the week. Last week's prizes both took a journey out of town. H. Sohst of Woodstock won the $3.00 with 265 and A M'HKKftT MEETS PUTO AT DUNDEE TONIGHT Marengo is Last Victim of Seasons- Harvard's Victory Places Them Third in County League McCracken's ambitious young basketeers followed Kipling's advice and went west last Friday night where they tcrok on their rival Orange and Black, M. C. H. S. warriors at Marengo, and then returned home with their second victory of the season over Coach Dawson's men. The final score was 19 to 15 with McHenry holding desperately to the four point lead assembled in the first half, which ended 14 to 10 in their favor. Wegener and Patzke led the scoring with three baskets each. O'Shea turned in a nice exhibition on defense and sank his three chances from the free throw line. Piskie showed up the best for the Marengo lads, scoring seven of the team's points. McHenry's lights proved to be no match for the lads of the Dawson squad and were forced to take the short end of a 16-11 count. The first half proved to be their undoing when they scored but one basket and a free throw and were behind 10-3. The last half they out-scored their rivals but couldn't overcome the big lead. Patzke and Wegener kept McHenry in the running throughout the first half of their contest with Harvard here Saturday night, but Coach Home's men just couldn't be restrained in the last period and Strain, with the aid of Goodsell ran up a substantial lead to take third place in the county league by trouncing McCracken's defensive team 22-15. At half time the score was tied 10 all with Wegener and Patzke having five each. McHenry missed twelve freethrows, enough to have won the game in good fashion. They made but five of their seventeen tries. Pettigrew, Goodsell, and Strain stood out for Coach Home's team, the ones that almost upset Woodstock in the county tour' nament. Harvard's lights also took the measure of the McHenry Juniors 25 to 7. Hetterman sneaked in two baskets to lead the McHenry scoring. Bates made five baskets for Harvard, with Barter bagging four.

Now, Sully, because I mention this, please don't think the whole world is wrong. And thanks a lot for all the excellent publicity. Freund of McHenry was filglt plat man of the event with 45 points to his credit in the five games. The MAACS were far out in the lead in team score with 193. Most of these were piled up in the first three games when they scored 140 points against Arlington Heights. Grayslake and Lake Zurich. They ware held to 29 in the semifinals by the All-Stars and then were content to take whatever they got in the consolation, making 24 which was just, enough to win for than.

League put on a red hot finale to an exciting race last Monday night with the Nye Sparklers standing off all challengers successfully, and winning top money. All they needed was one game to cinch things and they won that from the improving McGee Hatters. The noisy part of the evening's schedule was the Bolger Drug-Carey Electric match. Ere they began the Druggists were one game in the lead. The Carey outfit took the first game by 19 pins, making things even. The next game was a tie. This left things standing of the two teams the same for the year. The Electricians came through strong on the roll off and also managed to cop the last game of the season which gave them a game lead over the Bolger Irish and took second money right out of their mouths.

Attorney Cowlin notified the board that a state law was passed in 1919, governing the erection of gas and oil filling stations and that the city had nothing to say in such matters. The resignation of Police Magistrate John McEvoy was accepted. R. I. Overton reported that the ornamental light in front of his garag*, which was knocked down New Year's eve and had not been repaired, seemed to be in a dangerous position and he requested the board to allow him to put a bracket light on the building with the juice furnished by himself and allow-him to move the all-night ornamental light around the comer on Waukegan road, the changes to be made without expense to the city. Permission for the improvement was granted. It was also reported that the orfamental light in front of Stoffel A Reihansperger's insurance office had been run into and damaged. The number of the car had been taken, but there seemed to be some discrepancy between the number and the car it was supposed to have been on. However, it is expected that the party will be apprehended. For the next two hours there was discussion as to the items charged to different assessment lists. Aid. Bonslett and Krause, having checked back as far as 1921, say they are still unable to give a comprehensive accurate report. City Auditor North, Atty. Cowlin and the members of the board thrashed the matter over thoroughly and it was decided to ask the Wells Engineering Co. for individual state ments of each assessment. Merrick and Kreutzer Clash M. H. Merrick was given a hearing at this time and he desired pay for fifteen loads of gravel. Aid. Kreutzer said he would not OK any such bill, as Merrick had told them to take the gravel and it was the cleanings from around the edge of a pile and he thought he was doing Merrick a favor in taking it out of his way. How' ever, there was a complete misunderstanding between Merrick and Kreutzer and right at this time they didn't hesitate to tell each other about it in very forcible and righ to the point remarks. No action was taken on the matter. Affidavits of R. I. Overton and John R. Knox were accepted by the board. Affidavits were to the point that each of them when secretary of the board of local improvements had kept a just and accurate account of all the meetings and that the books were in the hands of Atty. A. H. Pouse at the time of his disappearance and that they had diligently looked for them and they could not be found. Aid. Bonslett said that he had Ifeefi approached by Dr. Klontz as to why Dr. Klontz did not get paid for his board of health duties last year. It was not decided just why as the records show that Klontz had been appointed and for some reason Dr. Froehlich had served. The matter will be taken up with Ex-Mayor Frett as to reasons for changing the appointment. The meeting adjourned at 12 o'clock.
