Game Decided In Overtime After Lacab Stage Big Rally To Tie the Score McHenry's title hopes received a setback at Hebron last Friday night when the up and coming McCracken cagers went down to defeat in a game started slowly with Hebron in the lead all the way but finding the McHenry lads coming to life in the last quarter to tie the score in a desperate rally and then lose the game by the narrowest of margins in the three minute overtime period. McHenry started out very slowly, with a basket by Patzke and freethrows by Wegener and Anderson accounting for their points in the first quarter, while Hebron rolled in two baskets and an equal number of gratis tosses. freethrows in the second period while, Hebron ran their total to ten for a ' *****' four point lead. In the third quarter Brittain's freethrow was the only point registered by the MCHS but Hebron kept up their steady pace by again registering six points. With the score 16-7 against them the Orange and Black suddenly awakened and started their desperate rally that overtook the Cranemen just before the final gun. Patzke scored two double counters while Wegener got his only field goal of the game. Anderson ran his total of freethrows to five out of eight and the score was tied as Hebron was unable to keep possession of the ball long enough to score. In the overtime Backenbaugh dashed in for a shot when Patzke fouled him and the game was won when he sank his awarded toss. It was a tough game to lose and it might have gone either way after the McHenry lads once got going. It was their poor start that cost them the game and a chance to share top honors in the league with Marengo, who trimmed Crystal^ Lake to maintain their undefeated position at the top. The lightweights also went downf to defeat although they played one >£ their best games of the season. The score of this contest was similar to the heavyweight in that there waif hut one point between the two teams, the final count being 15-14. The first half of this game found the count 5-3 in McHenry's favor but they couldn't hold the narrow advantage in the last half scoring spree and were forced to take the wrong end of the decision.

So much for that, but perhaps you'd prefer to write jfoar own tickets. Woodstock's first appearance in McHenry tomorrow night seems to be causing quite a bit of excitement around the county.

The third quarter was the big one for the Merchants as they ran the score up into the heights while the bewildered MAACS gaped wonderingly at them. Whiting was the only one who hit the basket with any regularity, caging seven •" | baskets and two freethrows for most ' of the points. Even that total looks small beside the string that Hawk scored for the Hinckley tribe, the Bharpshooting of this "hawk-eyed" forward netting 25 points, almo3t . enough to stop the opposition. | The lights took their third trimming I of the season when the Hinckley lights __ took them into camp after a thrilling *01 third quarter rally fell a few points i!io Ar]\ short of tying the score.

Harrison and Dowell led the onslaught 162--486 162--472 133--412 190--573 190--633 161--423 222--433 If you stop and calculate how many persons pass through the big railroad stations of New York every day, you can figure that running them is something of a business. There are, for example, the lost property departments. If you leave anything in a pullman car, It is turned in to a special department If you lose anything in a,, day coach, or in the stations themselves, it is turned in somewhere else. Thousands of articles are lost; hundreds are returned. Great storage rooms, on the lower levels of the stations, are filled with various things, waiting for their owners to come and claim them. Everything that can be carried outside of a baggage or freight car is there. 4 • • • I asked the custodian of one of these lost property caches whether nn»n or women, ns a rule, were most forgetful. He told me that it was about an even thing. Then I asked feim what articles were most frequently forgotten. He said that the most common tilings left behind probably, were umbrellas, coats, bags and* hats. Hats are something fairly new in his experience. He charges the sudden Influx of headwear to the fad that has been developed for going bareheaded. That was started by college boys and their elders took it up. A man who never wears a hat in the country, puts one on to come to town, chucks It ip in the rack and forgets it The peculiar thing about bags Is that many persons do not remember .where they left them. They will declare they left a bag at a ticket winflow. Then one of the plain-clothes operatives in the station goes on a still hunt. He first looks wherte the owner claims the bag was left Then he covers the station In a fashion taught by long experience. The news stnnds, the telegraph desk, the telephone booths, oft^n bring results. One woman asserted she had left her bag at a ticket window, only to have it found in a hotel adjoining the station. The lost property departments of the stations always check up with adjoining hotels. • • . \ You might ttitnE' would leave'their false teeth in trains, but it is a common occurrence. The teeth hurt them, they take them out, wrap them in a handkerchief and put them in a pocket Later, they pullout the handkerchief, the teeth drop on the seat, and there they stay. Papers and tickets often drop out of pockets or handbags. A man who redeems a ticket must make affidavit that he was the purchaser. This doesn't appear to bother some persons. There is many a ticket that never it way back ta tb» rightful owner.' .. •' • • V . Some lhdtvtiJnals aiwayfo nra TostnR things. These repeaters come to be well known to the lost and found department. There is one woman, a commuter, who loses her handbag on an average of once a week. When she doesn't lose the bag, she loses something out of it. Men are likely to leave wrist watches in washrooms. They also leave knives, pencils and pens. Jewelry is almost always left on parlor or sleeping cars. Sleeping cars also produce pajamas, purses and wallets. Many travelers have a habit of slipping • wallet inside the pillowcase. A lot of them leave It there. • • • Enough spectacles and eye-glssses are left behind to start a store. Tou might think that a person who used glasses would miss them, but It isn't so. Musical Instruments, books, briefcases, ^.yanlty boxes, soap dishes, razors; hair brushes, combs, overshoes, rings, pins, necklaces, pipes, poruU» j»bgnogrflphs, all are left behind. • • * | I tried to check up on common honesty. It seems that 85 per cent of such articles as bags and coats are returned. When it cames to pencils, pens and umbrellas, the average drops to about 50 per cent. Such articles seem to lack individuality. The finder frequently walks off with them. After all, one fountain pen looks pretty much like another. Tickets also are a bad risk. <£). 19»1.
