John "Red Pace hurled fcr Woodstock in their game with Huntley Sunday and won a 10-2 decision. Face a year ago was just an awkward kid, ambitious to make good in baseball. Down at DeKalb Normal they sought to make a pitcher of him and evidently they have succeeded. Besides hurling a neat game Pace had a perfect day at bat with two singles, a double and a home run. i Big Ed Tonyan didn't work as hard as he is capable of doing on the mound Sunday, but he certainly performed admirably sat the plate. In two trips up Ed had a pair of doubles the first in the third inning that drove in the MAACS' initial tally, and then he scored himself. In the fifth he duplicated this feat of driving in a run and scoring the last one himself, thereby accounting for all four of McHenry's runs.

The Fox seems to be a favorite lurking place for "Slip" Steussy, former star athlete of the State U. Dwight has been much in evidence there the last week or so. He reports that his plans at present will send him back to Durham in the Carolinas, where he coached a very tuccessful season last winter. His basketball team won the state championship and attended the Stagg meet this spring. Unless something better turns up Steussy will probably have another teain in the Stagg tournament next spring, if there will be another. Ray Whipple of Elgin recently acquired the northern Illinois Elks Golf championship by trimming the man who taught him the game by one stroke, 76 to 77. William Leath was the loser. Ray finished the first nine one down, but then cut loose with a string of eight fours and a three (sounds like Bobby Jones) to finish the last nine with a 35, two under P«r. On the last hole Whipple was one stroke ahead of the Elgin Pro and they both shot birdies on the 18th to climax a very interesting round of championship golf. Its no wonder that each year finds more and more followers of this popular sport. *AIN AND KAAUB HA&T KtEBRON IN FIFTH, 4-1 Tmqran Bats In Two Rm and Scares IV© Metre---Walworth To Play Here Sunday Rain may not always be as useful as it was to the MAACS in the baseball game with Hebron on the MAAC field last Sunday. At the end of the fifth the score stood 4-1 in favor of tbe locals when the rain started to fall again, after having poured spas modically for a time. Then Hebron, seemingly brought to life by the ef feet of the cold shower, started slamming the ball around the diamond and tied the score with but two out and then the rain fell in earnest and it was but a few minutes until the diamond was transposed to a sea of mud, making further activity "impossible. This caused the game to revert to the score at the end of the previous inning and the MAACS were returned the victor. Even at that the rain was mainly responsible for Hebron tying the count for Tonyan had held them helpless in the five innings played except for the second when a scratch hit, a clean single and an error gave Hebron the first run of the game. In the sixth they came through in great * • ,v x.tysntftim WONDEfe LAKERS 9-2 A.

Linke held the Lakers to four hits and fanned seven, while Hitchens was striking out nine, but gave up a total of thirteen blows, among them A. Linke's home-run over the hill in deep left which in all probability will be the longest drive to be made on that field in a long time. E. Linke also hit a tremendous liner to deep center, but had the misfortune to have it stopped by the high grass and by fast fielding on the part of Schroeder it was held to a double. Harold Freund regained his hitting eye and drove out four singles. Wonder Lake will entertain the strong Algonquin Hint at their Wonder Lake field next Sunday and a good game is promised.

Any team that can Leo Stilling and D. I. Granger visited the first razz berry tournament af Glen Crest Country club, Woodstock, and report a wonderful afternoon. Both turned in some very neat scores, with Leo leading the list. George Grant and George Sullivan completed the foursome and they evidently believe* that George can do it, as both of them took it upon their hands to provide plenty /of competition for the McHenry aces. These razzberry events seem to be attracting larger crowds than ever at the popular county-seat course, and everyone always has a wonderful tiine, so there is no doubt but what they will be continued for some time in the future. The MAACS baseball team held a meeting Monday night to talk over some necessary details, among them the question of the poor turnouts -,o practice. The practice nights have been changed to Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings for the future and it is hoped that this will facilitate better attendance. One of the crying needs of the team is a third baseman and so far no solution has presented itself. Manager Knox is getting rather blue over some of the prospects but the interest shown Monday night, if continued, will tend to brighten up his viewpoint considerably. Remember, Walworth next Sunday at McHenry. The McHenry Legion Juniors lost their first game, of the season to the Woodstock lads last Wednesday afternoon at the high school diamond in the county-seat. They still hold first place by virtue of a half a game over Harvard and Woodstock and will seek to maintain this position when they meet Hebron and Harvard here next Saturday in a double header. The boys aren't in the least discour. aged over their first taste of defeat, but instead are now ready to do their darndest to keep their slate clean for the remainder of the season. The only complaint they had to offer was the fact that they were kept waiting at the diamond for nearly two hours, but it hardly seems likely that anyone would purposely resort to the ageold trick of keeping their opponents waiting for an extra long time in order that they might get off edge. Those things used to be done in the old prize fight days before sportsmanship became known in the sport world. The boys feel that this delay cost them the game or had a lot to do with it and nothing but the county championship will satisfy them! from now on. on what might have been? Frank held the MAACS helpless •until the third inning, only six men facing him in th«» first two innings. Frett survived in the third on an error by the shortstop and was sacrificed to second by Arnold Anderson's neat bunt. Tonyan then came through with the first of his run, producing 'doubles that scored Frett. Ed went to third on Bacon's out and scored on Whiting's single. In the fifth Frett got a hit when bis fly fell betweer Massay and Judson in left center. Anderson again sacrificed perfectly and Tonyan again doubled to right. Bacon's single scored Tonyan with the fourth end last run of the regulation contest. Hebron made their only run in the second frame when H. Peterson scratched a hit* between third and short. Welch struck out and Frank forced Peterson at second. Massey, Hebron's image of Babe Ruth, singled to right center and Frank went to third. A double steal was attempted and Frank scored when Winkel'3 throw was out of line. Wagner then walked, but V. Judson lined directly to short for the third out. _ Manager Knox tried out an entirely different lineup for this game, but all things didn't work as smoothly as they might have. Arnold Anderson, first string catcher for the Northwestern Frosh, has returned from school and took over the catching duties. Jimmy Fay then tried his hand at the third bas'e position with more or less success. Whiting and Pflug got together on the first base problem in Bohr's absence and Bacon filled in for Murphy at short. The third base problem seems to be troubling Knox about as much as it has McCarthy in the last few years. Walworth is coming to town next Sunday and the reports have it that the Wisconsin lads are out to wreak vengeance on the Illinoisans. The Walworth team has never met the MAACS in any sport and intend to start the record off right. Maybe the MAACS have different ideas and Tonyan will mount the mound to carry them out. Ed wasn't working so hard last Sunday and his efforts were made somewhat laborious by the condition of the baseballs. Hebron ABRHF V. Judson, If *«a.«3 0 0 0 Hess, c JS 0 0 6 Keefe, 3b 0 10 C.

Sera** ---c •. M5pfc** Not Correct in. Phrase "Spick and Span** "Spick and span" is the correct spelling. The phrase Is frequently but erroneously written "«plc and span,* due apparently to a mistaken notion' of its derivation. The original phrase was slmpiy "span new." 'span" being an old word for a chip or splinter. "Span new" meant bright and new as a chip just cut. In Icelandic it is "spannyr," from the "apann," chip, and "nyr," new. "Spick and span new" was merely an emphatic extension of the earlier phrase, "spick" being an old provincial or colloquial form of "spike," meaning a large nail. Therefore when a thing was particularly fresh in appearance It was said to be spick and span new, namely, bright and new as a spike and a splinter. There is no evidence that "•pick" in the sense of a spike was ever spelled "splc," although there was an obsolete word "splc," meaning bacon or fat meat--Pathfinder Magazine. ilteane Best for Eavioni "He who has an envious heart," •aid Hi Ho, tbe sage of Chinatown, "should keep silence lest he permit his envy to proclaim his own lnferl- ^Washington Star; •••• W\: • -&>----______ fclwa*U* Motps The present motto of the Klwanls dub is "We Build."

Lichens have been found in many parts of the earth, but never have they been located so near the PQles as In this case. And yet there is no reason why they should not be found in even more remote locations, for the demands of the plant are very limited. It is well known that It re-* sists temperature to a very great extent It requires only a piece of rock to cling to. It may be under snow for a considerable part of the year, but for a short period, at least, it must be exposed to the air or moisture. That is all the lichen requires.

Here's the reason why. In Electrolux there is no machinexy, not a single moving part ! to wear, to vibrate, to make sound. A tiny gas flame, a ,1 alight trickle of water, do all i the work.
