BACONS STRIP '4' • JTTv»--. "*%EKEM BAcdif" Richmond was the first victim of the McHenry high track team. They succumbed to the efforts of O'Shea, Intake, Anderson and the Davis boys, supported by others, of course, and found themselves on the short end of SHO-25 countwhentte wfewt bell soonded. Racing opens May 1st in the ChkagO district with Aurora holding the opening engagement. There are plenty of followers of this ancient sport in Ait eoaamuty and no doubt the 'subwV will be well represented at the down river city when the nags start to gallop. The McHenry Rifle Club's new memht, Frye, brought home the bacon in the last indoor meet of the season last Wedvasd&y night. Sidney hails from Oapron, and doesn't like to make the tat? joorney without some remuneration. The outdoor season starts soon fltfc^the coarse east of town. r-;;::fhe score might have been even greater if some of the local students possessed a little more ambition. After O'Shea had toiled strenuously to best G4rdner by inches on the shot put, Dick Wegener, who had been measuring their efforts, walked up to the circle and leislurely tossed the weight over three feet farther than the best ^ mark of the competitors. / Pont forget the big meeting at the Legion Hall tomorrow night for the purpose of organizing a Junior Baseball Team. All boys who will not reach their seventeenth birthday prior to September 15 are invited. John L. McCabe will be the chief entertainer for the evening and don't forget that a FREE LUNCH will be served. Meet, tag starts promptly at 7:30. Easter Sunday had been selected as an opening day for the McHenry Conntry Club but the rain spoiled that day for the second time in the last two years. Well, the rain spoiled the opening day for the Sox several times this year, and none other than the Cards of St. Louis made the initial efforts of the Cubs on their home grounds a total loss. Why have these opening events anyway. But * baseball team wasnt the only ling uncovered at the recent meeting the MAACS. They also found an aspirant to the heavyweight crown. Might match him up with the Great Shires if Landis would allow it, or possiby Camera. And another suggestion is the ex-service champ as a preparatory battle. Larry Huck has been after the managing job t** the pew pub. | j. The annual warning to keep off the tennis courts at the High School has been issued to all those who persist in wearing other than tennis shoes. This applies to everyone with no exceptions to those self appointed "privileged characters." Persons are also asked to remain off the courts when they are in a soft condition following a rain. Remember this is for the benefit of all concerned. Well, Well, Well! Tonight is the night that the indoor players have been waiting for ever since the completion of the indoor schedule last summer. That long waited for feed that the losers of the league were to spread is here at last. This evening the Legion and the Masons are spreading their stuff for the benefit of the K. C. and Forester outfits. Well, here's that it was worth waiting for. Jinny Fay, McHenry's best known boxer, is to return to training next week. Jimmy has been out of the ring since he suffered the arm Injury play- «, ing basketball last winter but has now j decided that his injured member has sufficiently healed so that it will not hinder him in handing out his k. o's. Fay is planning on using the Elgin Gym for his training purposes and will spend all of the next week In working out with the Elgin scrappers. T Those MAACS certainly de believe in action once they get started. It wasn't many years ago they decided to organize a basketball team and very one knows the standing they have attained among county cage teams in the last few years. Now they have organized a baseball team.- It been scarcely a week since the meeting was held but they are already . prepared to take the field against Wonder Lake on the tatter's diamond next Sunday and they have every reason to believe that their nine won't have to take a back seat for their five man squad. MAACS ORGANIZE FOR BASKBAT.T. SEASON Toayan To Pitch For Newly Organised MAACS Against Wonder Lake Next Sunday Thursday night of last week found a goodly number of baseball fans assembled in the American Legion hall for the purpose of organising a baseball team that will represent McHenry on the diamond this coming summer and it is hoped, for years to come. The meeting was held under the auspices of the McHenry Amateur Athletic Club, the local organization of sportsmen that is rapidly coming to the front in the community and is known as a Igo-gettin* bunch that usually finish what they start. Well, they started a baseball teafrn St the meeting and the result is that this same team' is going on the field at Wonder Lake next Sunday afternoon to oppose the Wonder Lake nine !n the first McHenry County tilt of the year. If that isn't action then there is no such thing. Just what the lineup will be is quite uncertain at the present time, but there is no doubt in the mind of Manager Bob Knox but that McHenry will be in possession of a winning ball team ere the season is well under way. They may not win the first game, or the second, but they will strike a winning stride beforo long, and if the support of the local baseball fans of the past is given them they will make a good thing of the baseball situation that in the past few years has been rather a minus quantity in this city. Work has been started on a diamond just west of the Newell Colby stables on Route 20 west of town. A suitable location could not be found in the city limits so the Colby site was selected. Mr. Colby seemed quite willing that his property be used. There were two locations that might have proved more suitably located but the cost of making a diamond and the chances of retaining the land for a period of time were both against accepting these. It is hoped that time will prove the selection of the present site an excellent choice. Suits were donated by several of the business men in town that have been back of this proposition time and again and they are sure that this time their efforts will be better rewarded than ever before. Bobby Knox, one of the well known old-timers in the game, has been selected to manage the team and he's going at it with all the vigor of a fifteen year old. That's the kind of fight that wins ball games. Lack of a diamond is holding up practice sessions just at present but the boys are anxious to get going and get the crowd to following them before they become attached to some of the neighboring teams so they accepted the invitation to play the first game against the Wonder Lake team on their new field at Wonder Lake, located on the highway west of Ringwood a"bout two miles. The Wonder Lake team is com posed of former Ringwood players so that a good game will be in progress if the McHenry lads can get used to the feel of the ball by that time. Ton yan and Meyers will form the battery for the locals while Hawley will take the mound for the Lakers with Schoeder most likely to receive him. Winkel, Bohr, Whiting and Bacon of last year's County Champions will be assisting their old team mate, Tonyan, and it is quite likely that Bob Knox himself will be in uniform, at least during the first few games. With these players as a nucleus it seems probable that McHenry is scheduled to at last appear on the baseball map of the county after many long years of waiting.
