Do your bit to the boys along. Wouldn't do many of us much harm to be Boy Scouts as their aim is one of the finest «f any organiwiiti* in the country. ;:ia •. •. Ed Linke, Johnsbtnrg's former pitcher that turned in so many victories iMt season, is reported to have signed «p with the Milwaukee club of the American Association for the coming aeason. If any recommendations were seeded he could have applied to the local ball dob mad received plenty of tfcem. In company with the new golf ball comes the new baseball to add new mysteries to the followers at sport. The new ball will probably revolutionize batting averages in the national pastime with the pitchers given the edge. Guy Bosh bemoans the fact that they handicapped the batters in this manner "just when he was getting ready to have * banner season." The MAACS are working hard in -.Reparation for the Independent Distinct Tournament which is to be held at Waucofida under their supervision. Wauconda has a suitable gym for tournament purposes and has always pfeiJ out well. Give th© boys the right kind of support in this matter ghd they'll put it over in real shape. ^ McCabe and Ashley have been announced as the officials of tl\e tourney ! which is to be held the last week in February. Both are well ktiown in ttiis locality and a. more efficient pair COuld not be obtained. Officials mean '|i lot for the success of any athletic •vent and the MAACS wish to spare ®o expense in this department. {What.has happened to the Wood- -ilock Sentinel's sport page?. No re- Rime of the county league games of last week was to be found in its pages, nor was the customary ballyfcoo preceeding the Lions-McHenry game of last Sunday. Can it be that Woodstock is so thoroughly out of the «ftge world this year that the readers if the Sentinel do not care to read th* games? Richmond's great handicap a 'small gym almost proved too much for the MCITS lads when they made their annual visit there last Friday Taight. It took them three quarters to cut down the lead that Gunder- 8©n's men piled up in the first quarter and then it took them three over- -tfme periods to break away in front. •When they did. it it was just too bad. •The final score was 34-17 and doesn't iw>und much like an overtime game. #• Sty The Dutch triumphed over the Irish '.Hi their annual bowling match with Bevo John's team holding a majority of 49 pirls over the Sons of Erin. Herman "Schaefer, a sub inserted in the last minute when one of the boys couldn't show up, proved to be fbe dark horse with a 613 series. Winkel and Bolger succumbed to the intense barrage of razzing and feJJ '"way below average, It is now up to 'the Dutch to answer the challenge of •the Fire Department who contend that they can hand the Bevo men a sound drenching. And the Irish have also challenged the Dutch to a return match, the date to be set later. Looks like fur will be flying for the rest of <4l»e seasoa. One of the most interesting games of the season is expected when Me- Henry meets Marengo for the first time this season. A victory for McHenry means a tie for firsft place in the County league but if Marengo wins it brings the title to the Western school for the first time in many years. Better snap out of it before the last quarter in the game Friday night boys, or it's liable to be too late. The gain* is to-be jpfcyet at Marengo. With St. Mary's dropping two to McCracken's men and the MAACS adding another pair of victories Sunday afternoon, the season's total between Woodstock and McHenry teams reached the neat standing of 10 victories and 2 defeats with Mc Henry holding the loag end. McHenry's high school team dropped the first game of the season to the Blue and White of Community high while the Ponies lost -to the Kaysees by one point a week -ago Sunday which accounts for the two losses. No wonder the game is 'lagging in Woodstock this year. Walter Freund reports that most all the contracts for next year's baseball team have been returned to him signed by the players. Looks like an A-l team will be oa the field when the season opens. A new field is to be built in the Venetian Gardens, better known as the old Mill Pond, and a grandstand is to be erected there as soon as the weather permits so that everything will be in readiness for the season's opening. Advertising is being sold to local merchants and the way they are gobbling up the space speaks well for the popularity of baseball in the vicinity. Looks like amateur baseball is on the upgrade. TRIPLE OVSHtTlMB TO WIN OVKB RICHMOND MfchS Attack* Rendered Helpless b Small Gym At Richmond Win 34-27 McHenry High's fast little cage team found itself confined in rather small quarters when they met Richmond in the well-known "trackerbox" that has always been a jinx to Mcuoms BEARDED BY MAACS--PONIES WIN Athletic Club Teams Run Count To 19-2 Against Woodstock Cage Teams for 1930-31 Season The MAACS, the team that has been gaining so much "losing* publicity in the Sentinel, stepped out Sunday and proved that they were the better team when they stepped on the Henry teams. As a result their speed Lions' tails to take aa 26-18 victory diminished and with their speed went from the Woodstock representatives, their effectiveness and their touted > in the independent ranks. The score atteck became almost nil. at the half was 13-4 and looked like Perhaps a little overconfidence had it might be a walkaway with the something to do with the game as Lions showing their lack of practice.

Action will be provided that will satisfy the most critical of fans and, if plans do not go awry, local talent will be combined with the best that the amateur ranks of Chicago and vicinity, can supply to make the Bridge one of the best known fight centers in northern Illinois. A glance at the opening night's cast will provide the old-time fans with many pleasant memories.

Besides the boxing exhibitions there are to be two wrestling matches, something new. in this vicinity, but since the wrestling game is making rapid strides to the fore and is rapidly replacing boxing as the chief attraction in the pro field, Wallie thought it a good plan to acquaint local fans with the ins and outs of the game.

This enabled the followers of Bevo to pile up enough of a lead to offset the tremendous eomeback staged by the Erin lads when they toppled 953 maples for the high game of the evening. J. Bolger and Winkel proved ths disappointments of the match, both falling far below their averages, due, no doubt, to the terrific razzing that continued throughout. The Dutch have now to meet the Firemen, who .had previously challenged the winner of the Irish-Dutch match. Watch for the date.
