BACON'S " STRIP • ST .ZEKE" BACON Eari Conway made two baskets in the fame with Elgin Spiess last Sunday and this is about the first time in the last several years that Earl has taken more than one shot in a game. And then the MAACS had to go and lose the game. rAJODTT HOPKS i f. j Woodstock's Blue and White -team believes in picking them tough for the tournaments. In the county event they were drawn to face Hebron in the first game while in the district they have to hurdle Marengo in order 'to get anywhere. Not a very inviting task for Dale's men. Wegener returned to school Tuesday after an attack of grippe and with his return the stock of the MCHS chances in the county tournament went up considerably. Even without Patzke in the lineup, it is believed that the old fight may carry the boys thorough in good ehapa. « Dont forget the action :: the Bridge tomorrow night when the first of a series of boxing and wrestling matches takes place. Several of the home town lads appear on the pro* gram and the outsiders that are scheduled to exhibit their warea are of the tested type that can deHrer the necessary goods. *- Geo. Worts sort of tore up the alleys during the K. G. session at the Palace Monday night, which, by the way, was about the noisiest affair that has taken place this season. Worts hit 182, 242, 166 for a 590 aeries to top all the big boys, many Of whom appeared rather disconcerted at the tremendous amount of raising that was directed their way. mvfs TtntsDiY moBT Ptttske Joined By Wegener Aa Eve of County Tourney Nears-- - Marengo Wins 26-15 Harold Patzke, McHenry High's chief hope for victory in the county race for high honors and also in the tournament, which opened last night at St. Mary's, was taken to the Woodstock hospital seriously ill with pneumonia last Saturday. His absence in the Marengo game last week, which Marengo won 26-15, demoralized the team and they seemed to be playing with a weight over their heads all, through, the game. Wegener was also absent from school when Morylay morning rolled round and it is learned that he is ill at home with an attack of lagrippe. With both Wegener and Patzke out* of the lineup and some of the other boys feeling none too well, the hopes of the McHenry fans for a championship took a decided drop. McKenry was scheduled to meet Crystal Lake in the opening game of the tournament last night and, prior to the illness of the players, was favored to take the large end of the score. McHenry dc-feated Crystal Sixteen Teams Entered In Bveat at Waucondi 8pie-- Even Count Tuesday night will find the first battalion of teams swinging into, action in the tenth annual Independent tournament to be held this year, as for the past two years, at Waucoda. The MAACS, local athletic organization, has agreed to sponsor the tournament this year in order that the string of tournaments should be preserved in an unbroken string. The Wauconda gym was picked to provide ample room for the spectators as the local high school gym doesn't provide enough seating capacity. Sixteen teams in all are entered and these will battle it out through the first three rounds until but four remain for the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. Three games will be the program for the first three nights with the semi-finals taking place Saturday afternoon and the championship and consolation events occupying the card for the final evening. Beautiful trophies to be awarded to Charlie Rietesel has moved his ice boat from the'river to McCollum's lake to see if he cannot lengthen the season somewhat. The boat is a trim little affair with a propellor for motive power and is capable of nearly 75 miles per hour. Plenty of room is necessary when this speed is attained. Charlie claims that his boat can go from a standstill under the old river bridge, to Orchard Beach in 55 seconds under favorable conditions. Tha distance is a good strong mile. Patzke's sudden illness came as quite a blow to the followers of MCHS fortune in the basketball race this year. Coming as it did just prior to the crucial game with Marengo and on the eve of the McHenry County Tournament it just about Wrecked the plans of the McCracken crew for a glorious finish to a successful season. Patzke is now confined in the Woodstock hospital with pneumonia and I'm sure he'll appreciate a card from each of his many friends. Marengo maintained their strong hold on first place by trouncing the second place McHenry team 26-15 in a game that was far from expectations. The large number of McHenry fans were sadly disappointed by the listless showing of the boys, who seemed to be brooding over the serious illness of their team-mate, Patzke. They played as if preoccupied and could not seem to exhibit the old pep that is usually present when their flashy forward and high point man is in the fight with them. The first quarter was even but shortly after the second period began the Marengoites pulled ahead and from then on the game was never in doubt. The score at half time was 9-5 with Burrows piling up Marengo's lead with seven points. His job was taken over by Zenk in the last half when the guard travelled up the floor to score six baskets and give the county leaders enough of a lead so that they had no cause for worry. In Patzke's absence Wegener came through as well as he could and scored •four baskets to keep the score from being disrespectful. Anderson caged the other two field goals made by the locals. The lightweights also seemed to I have inhaled some of the gloom that went with the team Friday night as they were soundly trounced f>y their neighboring Orange and Black opponents, 14-8. Arlington, center for the lights, proved to be too much for the local defense and led the scoring with four baskets. None of the McHenry players were effective to »ny extraordinary degree.

Elgin Spiess Win SO-23 Elgin Spiess made theTr second visit to McHenry this season and came through with flying colors to even the count for the season and avenge their defeat suffered here last time when the MAACS overcame a nine-point lead at half time and went on to win by five points. This story was. all different this time and from the start it was apparent that the MAACS were in for a tough time. Neither side was getting in for many short shots, but the visitors seemed to excel at long range and built up a lead that the MAACS managed to cut to 11-7 at half time, mainly by virtue of free throws as they scored but two baskets in the entire first half. The third quarter found the Spiess five pulling away to a safe lead that gradually extended to twelve points until the MAACS staged a last quarter rally with the subs in the game to cut their lead down steadily, but the whistle ended the game before they could be classed as serious contenders. Helgren and Boyd were high point men with four baskets apiece, Boyd adding a free throw to obtain his total of nine points. The MAACS' scoring was well split up, Whiting leading with two baskets and two free throws. Conway came through with two baskets, his second and third of the season. Fay was out of the game with a bad cold, but the whole team expects to be in tip-top shape for the tournament next week. In the preliminary game the Ponies -walked all over the Bronchos from Richmond to the tune of 33-20. Vogel was the only threat of the Bronchos, but even so the Ponies waltzed away to a IT-6 lend at half time and when Dowell unloosed his big guns in the second half and dropped in six baskets the game ceased to become a contest. MAACS--St . * Roy K am hoi*, baby member of the McHenry Rifle club, brought all eyes in his direction when he came in second in the standing match of February 10, second only to Jack Smith, winner of the Indoor Aggregate Trophy. Kamholz shot 311 while Smith had 337. Ex-service men will be found by the wayside all the way down the line of march. W. Klapperich, Jack Smith, Ed Justen, Roy Kamholz and Sidney Frye will form the team to compete against the Elgin veterans Tuesday night. Jack Smith and Ed Justen ended in a tie*with 1443 when the finals of the Indoor Aggregate Match had been fired, but by virtue of the highest score in the standing division Jack Smith was awarded the trophy. In the standing event, one of the most difficult for members of this club, Smith led Justen by 86 points.

Ashley and Hajek are to be the officials of the Wauconda tournament and should handle the event in A-l style. These two men have been selected because they are used to working with each other and this fact alone should assure the fans that the games will be run off in a smooth, orderly manner. Officiating has much to do with the success of an event of this kind and the MAACS were anxious to secure some capable men and believe they^^have done so. Kindly give these officials the courteous treatment which they deserve. Ashley will also appear at St. Mary's the following week as an official of the District High School Tourney. With three major tournaments occupying the basketball world for the following three weeks, it lotfka as if the sports writers about the country will be kept busy.

"Doing" Train* Now, but Victims Seldom Kick. London.--The only crook that can nod and smile at a Scotland Yard man one day and be frfce to do it again the day after is the card sharper. And as though thiB situation Isn't enough to plague these lean manhunters, the gentle task of "plucking a pigeon" now has become a family affair! Authorities say It Is not uncommon to find a father and son "working" the trains together. Before the war this form of thievery was confined mostly to ocean liners. Spasmodically commuters reported they had been "picked," but their numbers and losses did not .present a serious problem. "Sharpers" Doubled. Now, however, the situation "he# changed. The number of "sharpers" has doubled. Railroad detectives know these men, but are powerless to act unless they actually catch one cheating or a victim complains. Few of the latter, however, take the trouble' to report their losses. They dislike the publicity and the ! subsequent jibes of their friends. Chief Inspector A. E. Earle of the London A North-Eastern railway police calls them "pests." Then Earle ruminated upon the number of men whose keen wits en* able them to win a fortune In the business world but "who fall for the time-worn" three-card trick. Even before the potentisl victim Is comfortably settled in his train compartment he has been marked as a stranger and an assault on his pocket book planned. One by one the f sharpers entelr the train and as though complete strangers select seats beside the "pigeon." Money Refunded. A few moments after the Journey has begun some one suggests a game. The one stranger Is Invited. He accepts. And there the story ^ends unless he refuses to take the loss sitting down. If he makes known his intention of reporting it to police his money ts hastily returned to him, according to authorities. 6 Once the sleek "sharpers? are canght, however, they do not face the American equivalent of a $100 fine or a month In Jail. They listen to a * sharp rebuke from the judee and then prepare to do months and perhaps a year at hard labor in a prison.

To the narrator, E. W. P. Chinnery, Australian anthropologist, fighting headhunters Is an everyday matter la remote sections of the South Seas. New Guinea is an Australian mandate, and it is Chlnnery's duty to explore the Interior with a view to bringing the savage tribes Into the fold of civilization so that some of the wealth In the Inaccessible Interior may be exploited. At present copra Is the leading Industry of New Guinea, hut mining of gold may soon surpass. It if Chlnnery's projects are successful. New Guinea's Westth Untold. "There is 'no more interesting place In the world than New Guinea," Chinnery stated before the sailing. "Its wealth is untold. There are hills in the Interior of almost solid gold, yet the . country Is so wild as to make mining operations extremely hasardons." Chinnery outlined some of the difficulties which confront mining men who seek to reap some of the interior kuntry's natural wealth. Although the richest gold mines art located only thirty miles from the coast, they are eight days' journey on foot. Mountain peaks 18,000 feet high must be scaled to reach the gold Adds. In the unconquered sections, the scientist declared, there dwells a savage race of cannibals known as Papuans. If their spears and arrows bring down a foe he will be found on the Papuan menu that evening. Chinnery has headed many parties Into the Jungles of the interior. Hts expeditions are always equipped with modem firearms, which have more than once saved him and his companions from the soup kettles. Makes Friends With Ssvages. His methods of "converting" the savages to friendship are unique. After defeating the natives in battle, doctors treat the wounded, gifts are exchanged and confidence in the white man Is implanted. Once rooted In battle, the savages are quick to fall In line, Chinnery declared. Their friendship is won by the care the whites give them and the savages quickly learn the white manis codes of morals and social relations. IMninig interests, impatient at the necessarily long time that Chlnnery's civilizing process takes, have resorted to airplanes to carry equipment to the mining region, but the dangers are many and it is predicted that it will be many a day Igefore gold can be safely brought out of the hills in large quantity. ^ -ing, moan against the world trade French Riviera Opens Fight on "Dead Beat" Wee.

They generally demand board and room In" the best hotels at below cost price, free seats to Frank Jay Gould's new $1 opera, free entrance to the casinos, and free •meals while playing.
