"' E^il All-Stars To Play Here Gfcand Opening of Fieli Next Sunday McHenry invaded the Wonder Lake baseball diamond with a real lineup, the best the local amateurs have ever put on the field, and managed to struggle through nine cold innings to a well-earned 18-9. victory over the Hitchens tribe. The day was far too cold to permit anything resembling baseball to be played and the numerous hits and errors may Well be charged to the cold. The MAACS started out with a bang and scored four in the first and then came back with six more in the next to apparently sew up the game. However, Ringwood's lads rallied with two in the first and errors, four of them in the second, gave them the neat sum of three more. After that the game settled down except for an occasional outburst when someones cold fingers would get a pitcher into the hole. Hitchens started on the round for Wonder Lake but gavi way to the eld reliable Hawley in the second and Hawley lasted until five runs in the ninth caused him to fade away with two out. Bruno Butler threw to the route for the winner's and, although final man. Tonyan Went the full in trouble a great deal, always man aged to tighten up at the right mo ment, most of his trouble being caused by lapses in his support.

Elgin All-Stars Sunday Next Sunday the McHenry Amateur Athletic club's fast-stepping base ball nine meets the Elgin All-Stars, the best independent team from the Watch city and so far undefeated this season. The game will serve the fans as the grand opening of baseball in this city for the first time in many years. The MAACS have gathered to. gether what is believed will develop into one of the fastest amateur teams in this section of the country and the boys are working out daily in order to get into first-class shape for next Sunday's tilt with the All-Stars. Come out and get acquainted with the boys as there are few faces in the lineup that may be strange to some. Once you see them in action you'll remember them, for its quit a certainty that before long this team baseball in that city. Hie procession was led by a fife and drum corps followed by the Boy Scout troup and then the members of the two teams with their managers. Al) in all, it was quite a day ahd the boys felt rather proud of themselves. The only thing that marred the day was the fact that the home team couldn"t find the means of gaining a victory over these same pTond lads from McHenry who just couldn't allow their pride to be humbled in defeat. The final score was 12-6 and it was one of the best played games in the league to date. Kreutrer and Whiting, the left handed battery mates, were in action *g^in and performed their duty nobly. This victory served to place McHenry at the top of the Northern secvice ten. By the way, Nick is in the linkup of this same team, the only sponsor of a team that is still actively engaged in this facinating sport. However, John R. Knox, our honor-* able mayor, is to attempt a belated comeback. A different arrangement was used this year than last in the form of the membership for the teams. Last year the team members were picked from the different organizations sponsoring the teams and it led to quite a onesided race before the season was half over, but this year the teams are independent of any outside ,, groups, those desiring to play having handed in their names and then the sides were picked by the captains, the old members of last year's league being given the preference. In this same manner Kennedy tion of the County League and if the some of the fellows that didnt show boys' promises mean anything, are t|> remain there. McHenry 12 AB K H PO Rietesel, cf ^.„6 W.

The spot belonged to Joe Smith, route three of McHenry. The trip up the river was a hard one. The of all true baseball fans. The game is scheduled to commence at 2:30 sharp at the new field, one quarter mile west of town on Route 20. This straw ballot that C. W. Whitten, head of the Illinois High School Athletic association, is taking through out the state doesn't seem to set so Well with the sports writers and also some of the coaches. The vote is in regard to the proposed barring of invitational tournaments sponsored by colleges and universities. Whitten has mailed literature to every coach la the state and asked for a vote which .is all OK, but what the writers B*e complaining of is the two pages of influential propaganda that accompanies each ballot. Does seem rather strange for one to take that advantage when he is the head of a body Whose purpose it is to coach fair play. It certainly was a cold weather baseball game at Wonder Lake Sunday and the score shows it up as just that type of contest. Most of the players looked as though they should have been holding skating races on the lake instead of outboard tilts. In the second inning the McHenry lads did everything but hand the Lakers the game with Murphy, Winkel, Bohr and Fay, all contributing errors in the one stanza. And then the crowd tried to razz Tonyan for allowing the three . - , , . , current being strong, and the boys' " ^ f s t r e n g t h n o t b e i n g w h a t t h e y w i s h e d , made hard work of the trip; but the thought of a camp-fire, plenty of good eats, and some good stories seemed to urge the boys to work with a much greater will. The "Fleet" composed of four tow boats, one duck boat, one motor boat and three canoes, gave one an impression of pioneer days. Each boat had two or three scouts, armed with large hunting knives, scout axes, long ropes, wood for a fire, and food packed in the 'hold of its prow.' The Tjoys were not thinking of pioneering. They were just following the motto of all good scouts; "Be Prepared." When darkness had overtaken the scouts, they had landed, built a fire, eaten most of their food; and were listening very intently to the tales of Hair-raising, Brain-wrecking deeds accomplished by some individualistic and idealstic hero of the story-teller At 9:25 p. m. the boys began to embark for the homeward cruise. At the command of the scoutmaster, all left with a canoe in front, which none was to pass; a canoe in the middle with the instruction "Keep Order," and a canoe and a duck boat to bring up the rear. There seemed to be only one disagreeable thing in the whole voyage, that being the bailing of water. At 10:25 p. m. all scouts had landed at Karls' pier, roll had been taken and all were on their way home. Parents and scouters are invited to Huntley High School, Thursday eve* ning at 7:30, to the Court of Honor. From McHenry's troop, eight scouts will receive their Second Class Pins; two, their First Class Pins; two, Star Pins; and one Life Pin. REAL NEWS FOR KID6 Through the efforts of John L. McCabe of Harvard, sponsor of the McHenry County League of the American Legion Juniors, arrangements have been made to have all the members of the county league in attendance at the Cubs-Brooklyn game Thursday, June 26, It will be a free ^ day fo^ the kigp aft* believe me they should enjoy it to the utmost. No doubt this will be- the first chance for many of them to see a major league ball game. Not only will the youngsters enjoy it, but those who furnish transportation for them will have their hearts gladdened by the glorious effect it will have upon them. Tony Plansky of Pro-football fame plays first base for Erie in the Central League and is rated one of the dangerous hitters of the circuit. Johnsburg trounced the Dundee Peerless in a cold weather contest Sunday on the down river diamond. Our neighbors outhit the Peerless 15 to 8 but the Dundee lads bunched hits off Linke in the ninth and scored four runs to tie the score. Johnsburg then stepped out in the tenth and collected a tally to cinch the decision. Linke turned in another nicely hurled game striking out ten men. Brits, H. Freund and H.

THI&D PLACES WIN MEET FOE HARVARD Richmond Easy Victim as M€HS Lads Warm Up For Coming County Meet Coach Dan Home accompanied his Harvard track proteges on their visit to McHenry last Friday afternoon ar, i watched them roll up a narrow margin of points to eke out a 681-2- 56 1-2 victory. First and second places were almost equal, with Harvard having a two point majority in these, but the number of third place victories gathered by Harvard was great enough for the margin of victory. McHenry rated well in the field events, but proved to be weak on the track in all except the 100-yard dash in which Patzke and O'Shea tied for first. Carvey of Harvard took the five points in both the 220 and 440. Patxke, besides tieing for first in the 100 and vault, made ten points Tor the Mc- Cracken men with first in the high and broad jumps. A. Davis won the javelin and placed in the 220 low hurdles and the mile.

Coach Overholser has a pair of highclass performers in Gardner and Darrow but these two lads could not be gin to cope with the well balanced team Mac has put together. The marks were nearly all below stan dard, as none of the boys were hard pushed as the one-sided score indicates. Richmond gained but one first, the discus, which Gardner captured with a toss of 97 ft. 2 in. McHenry's relay team of Howard, Anderson, Peterson and O'Shea was again victorious. This was the last dual meet before the big county meet, where Coach McCracken hopes to run some of his boys up in the first division, enough so that some of the larger schools will know that at last McHenry is on the mdp in the track events.
