A, MATCH Jimmy Pay, star local athlete, who recently decided to spend the winter •with his brother in Laramie, Wyoming, writes that he reached his destination last Saturday evening after a very pleasant and successful journey. Jimmy teft here Friday morning and required but thirty-five hours to make the 1,200 mile journey. John, his brother, has spent the past year in that city and has promised Jimmy plenty of activity in the sporting lina ff he «odd "spend the winter frith Wm. v Johnsburg again are the county champions of the baseball world. "Linke pacified the Algonquin club in two straight contests to bring the title to the upriver hamlet for the second successive year. In the first game at Johnsburg he allowed Algonquin, winner of the title in the southern division, bat four hits and struck out fifteen. In last Sunday's game he struck out sixteen and shut out the "southerners while his mates were ekeing out three runs off the delivery of LaBahiv who is no ataaek «p the slab himself. . Tester Bacon, Frye and Jack Smith are back from the rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, where they have spent a pleasant two weeks in the company of 3,000 other enthusiasts of the sport in one of the largest gatherings ever assembled at a meet of that sort. Every part of the country was represented and every organization that boasts a gun corps had their prides attending to try and "bring home a prize. Lester Bacon didn't exactly have to bring home a prize as, if reports are true, he had one awaiting him. Much success for the future, Dutch, and may you and Jake sail the high seas harmoniodrly. Harold "Sheik" Leonard reports that his brothel, "Dutch," former star athlete of St. Mary's high school in Woodstock, left last Saturday to join the freshmen at St. Edwards college in Austin, Texas. Duteh leaves behind him one of the best records in athletics of any high school student ever to graduate from a county high school. "He has starred at both foothall and basketball and has always "been a disciple of clean sport, friendly net orily towards opponents, but to that most hated of all persons, the official. The best wishes for all those who really knew "Dutch should go with the lad in his new undertaking, that of making a name for himself at St The Prima Special; baseball team will be found in action at the Mc- Henry Ball Par}c next Sunday "when they oppose the ISAACS in a specially arranged contest; John Oefftfng, local representative of the Prima Company, had much to do with arranging the meeting and has the promise of the company that they will send out a large assemblage to back their team when it takes the field. Just whether or not Pat Flanagan, the Turk, who does all the spieling for the Prima Co., over the ether, will be here remains to be seen, but efforts are being made to have him attend as well aa give McHenry some free advertising over the radio this week. It should be a real ball game as these brewers (present day) are reputed to have a fast outfit. " I After quite a vacation* tit* mama* gerial end of the Cubs staff is again getting quite a riding.

Also, who else would one pick to try and keep together the bunch of trouble makers that the Cubs have gathered togthcr and who have been fighting for the pennant most every year since Mac became their leader, even in the face of the adversity which befell them almost constantly since the beginning of the present season.

Locals Onthit Rivals, But Errors Cost lima Victory--Game Decided fat Fifth Inning Stancsak Brothers, all ten of thai, came, saw and conquered the McHenry baseball team last Sunday in a game that was none too crowded with good baseball, but was a mighty interesting conflict, nevertheless. The final score was 9 to 6 in favor of the1 visitors, in spite of the fact tljat the locals outhit the brothers 11-7. But then it isn't hits but runs that win ball games so the McHenry lads were forced to submit to their seventh loss of their initial seasqn on the diamond. Schoewer was on the mound for McHenry and Hoopy has seen better days than the one he had last Sunday. Although giving but seven hits, many of th&m qgm« in the wrong spots. Six walks were distributed with the s®ven safeties and of these walks all but one figured directly in xthe scoring column. Even so. Schoewer would have escaped damage in several instances had the support been up to standard. Schroeder attempted to replace the vacancy caused by Fay's absence from behind the plate, but was responsible for three passed balls in the two innings he worked and these let in most of the five runs the Stanczak family scored during that period. Such wopport is not inducive to victories when the opposition is of the calibre of the Stanczaks. And besides Schroeder there were other members of the Cast that weren't up to their standard. The five-run lead that the MAACS handed the Brothers looked immense as the game got under way, but a few breaks and the score was tied. In the first inning Eddie walked to start the game and went to second when Schroeder failed to pick up Joe's bunt, both runners being safe. Frank also walked and the bases were full with none down. Eddie then scored and the other runners advanced when Schroeder committed the first passed ball. Mike then hopped one at Johnson, who threw to Schroeder to get Joe at the plate. Bill was forced to roll one to short where Dahn's throw to Whiting forced Mike. Buhrow's liner to left that just escaped John's outstretched glove went for a double with two down in the MAACS' half, but Bohr was out, Frank to Eddie, for the final so nothing came of it. The second looked like the whole ball game when the StanccaVs were through batting. Bruno led off with the first hit, a double to right. Louis popped to third, but John secured a walk. Martin then hit to third, where Bruno was nipped off base. Eddia then singled to left, scoring John, anfi Martin followed him across when another passed ball occurred Joe then singled and stole second and scored with Eddie when Frank got the third hit of the inning. Mike also got a single,- but nothing came of it as he was caught stealing, Knox to Whiting. The MAACS broke the ice in their half of the second. Johnson sent a hard liner right into John's hands as the first harbinger of the coming attack. S. Whiting then rolled one ever second for the opener. M. Whiting flied to center and then Schoewer, Dahn and Bacon singled in succession to "Jjive the MAACS their three runs. Bohr opened the third with a single, but nothing came ot it. However, the fourth brought more results in the shape of the two runs that tied the score momentarily. Knox lined a single over short. Schoewer hit to second near the bag, but the second baseman chose to throw to second for a double play starter, but the signals got crossed and Frank dropped the throw, both runners being safe. Dahn forced Knox at third and Bacon popped to short. Buhrow then came throw with a single to left, scoring Schoewer and Dahn. The lead didn't last long as ; the Stanczaks came through with three runs in their half of the fifth and the best the MAACS could do was to cross the plate once. Joe was <*afe when Johnson's throw pulled Bohr off the sack. Frank attempted to sacrifice, but no one fielded the ball and it went for a single. Mike then drove -one over short that scored Joe and ad vanced Frank to second. They executed a double steal as Bill struck out and hesitated while Bruno popped to Whiting and Schoewer put over two strikes on Louis, who then popped one into right center for a single that scored both runners and brought the score to 8-6. The MAACS got their remaining run on a single by Melvin Whiting: and a double by the rejuvinated Bobby Knox. The last run for the Stanczaks was produced without a hit in the seventh. Mike walked to open the inning and went to third when Knox's throw to second escaped Whiting. Bill then tapped to Dahn who drove Mike back to third and then threw wild to first, Mike scoring on the play. Attempting Jo stage another rally in the ninth xihe MAACS got men on second and third with none down, but Buhrow ad Bahn struck out and John got Johnson's long drive in deep left to end the contest.

Bruce Nickels, former holder of the title, also picked off 83 points, but is ineligible to accept the title two years in a row. The match consists of firing ten shots at a class A target from 200 yards and ten shots at a class B target from a prone position at 600 yards, the 200-yard range being manipulated from a standing position. The first row indicates firing at 200 yards; the second at 000 yards; the last the total.

Every section of the United States was represented as well as some of the foreign countries. Three thousand of the "best shots from all over the country were gathered there and police, military and civilian organizations sent their choice sharpshooters to match their ability with the pick of aH the rifle clubs. Among the most colorful marksmen were the group from the Royal Northwest Mounted Police from Canada, the group that always "get their man." Rumor lias it that Lester Bacon is trying a new load since attending the meet. He is now turning from gun powder to face powder. Much luck, Lester. The next match on schedule for the local club is the West McHenry State Bank Cup match, which will take place on Sunday morning, Sept. 28. Army Course B Qualification will be used m the match. Several shooting stars from Cary have visited the course in the past few weeks and from the enthusiasm shown it is quite likely that that city will have a rifle club of its own in the near future. The boys there have been coming here with the purpose of finding out how to go about organizing a club.

And last, but not least, on the list are the names of Ed Smith and Leo Wiakei, who, if not the hardest working pair on the diamond, were at least the BMat abused. These two courageous men were the ones who passed the decisions and took their lives in their haais by so doing.

In winning the game Sunday the honor went to Linke, young slab artist, who has done so well on the mound for the victors all season. Linke held the Algonquin crew safely throughout the game and was never ip great dangers He leaned sixteen men, almost, one'third of the number who faced him. * Coupjed, iWith the fifteen that he fanned in the previous Sunday's game it makes a total of thirty-one strikeouts in the little series. In winning the right to meet Algonquin for the county title the Johnsburg boys had no easy path to travel and they have defeated most of the best teams in this section of the county. The only defeat handed them this year that was at all decisive came at the hands of the Waukegan Majors, a team that is in a class by itself in this district. Algonquin had things much its own way in winning the southern half of the county title. Many of the teams in that section are picked from smaller towns and have not the class that the youths from the down river city have always possessed when it comes to playing baseball. Having more than a little to do with the success of the team was their pitcher, LaBahn, who has turned in some mighty good work this season, and who also pitched brilliant ball in the championship series, though not quite good enough to cope with the brand of ball huried "by Linke.

Odessa, Texas.--Production of efthas brought millions of dollars to land owners of Texas. In every oil field there 1s a fund of human interest stories on the effect which the unexpected acquirement of riches has had upon various landholders. Although there are in Texas a number of multi-millionaires who vtn'n poor circumstances until the black golft began flowing from wells upon their land, none of them has sttempted a spectacular role, Afch as was credited to "Coal Oil Johnny" of Pennsylvania pioneer days, or to Governor A. W. Tabor of Colorado, silver king, or to the mysterious "Scotty," of Death valley fame. Ira AV Yates, who owns the land upon which the famous Tates field la Pecos county is situated, during the last four years has piled np a fortune of more than $8,000,000 from oil royalties. Mr, Tates now makes his home in San Antonio, more than 400 miles from the scene of his 40 years of ranch.labors. « Yates Into rooted In Cattle.

He was on the verge of going bankrupt in the cattle business art the time the discovery of oil wsa atade upon his Pecos county ranch. Tom Hendrick, at Odessa, is another outstanding producer who has not let money turn his head. . Mr. Hendrick, like Mr. Yates, has been ranching In West Ttxas tor more than 40 yeara.

BOY SCOUT MEETING The Scout meeting Monday night opened with the oath and law, Mr. Schoenholtx then gave us a talk on morals. The writeup that was given about the Scout trip five weeks ago was according to the schedule, but because of the fact that only nine Scouts assembled, all went in one car, therefore we made better time and covered more country. We travelled through Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, across the Mississippi river into Davenport, Iowa, and back to Beloit. Harold Vycital, who was on the trip told the boys about the St. Louis Scout camp approximately eighty miles southwest of St. Louis, in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. Last Saturday tiine of the/Scouts went on a hike to Sherman's hill. We started about 9 p'clock, had our din ner and arrived home at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Some of the boys passed' the nature study and cooking tests. Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, Orval Granger will take charge of the next Scout meeting Monday night, Sept. 22, with the help of other mem bers of the staff. The Sea Scout Manuals were given out last Monday night, We will have our ten boys in the Sea Scout troop to start working this fall. I think that some ot the fallows in town who are not interested in the regular Land Scouts will find Sea Scouting something they all like. The parents of the Scouts are always welcome to our meetings.
