From the present status of the game it looks as if McHenry is la for an epidemic as the fever is certainly spreading rapidly. S1FLE CLUB ANNOUNCES OUTDOOR SCHEDULE a 80-year-old Chicago / 4N>man bowler, is the present leader fat the singles ranks of the Bowling tournament now in progress at Aurora. Substatiaiing the old fact the •Bey game is not limited to those of tile younger generation. ;V :> Tuesday, April 14, is only five days Stray. Baseball fans are anxiously Awaiting the opening of the major tongue baseball season and are counting the minutes to the sound of the first ball smacking the catcher's mitt, or will be socked for a neat bingle. The Cobs' opener with Pittsburg wiU *Sjf attended by mafty from here. The program of boxing and wrestcards at the Bridge was interrupted last week by the conflict with Good Friday. No show was held on that nigh,t which was the regular ilight on the schedule, but Manager Giese realised the futility of trying ta draw a crowd on that date. Watch far the aanouncemeafc ?I nest •how. ' Well, the spring bombardment is •00. The golf fiends have broken timragh the weather barrier and have hurled the lid off the golf season. A goodly number of "bugs'* were on the •course at the McHenry Country club last Sunday, the first that Harry Morris, genial pro, has been in attendance. A very prosperous season is looked forward to by the old members of the popular club. ' " The track season at the McHenry JtfeH school was opened last Monday l)ight when McCracken called for the first practice session. The turnout •was not as large as he would like, but Mac is not one to back down in the face of adverse conditions as all are well aware that are acquainted with last season'^ basketball history. Some of the valuable regulars from last year's squad are absent, but then the frosh should be counted upon to bring in a few worthy recruits. The firtt match on the outdoor Schedule of the McHenry Rifle club takes place next Sunday morning at tile rifle range east of town. A new system is to be tried out this year, of handicapping the members according to their respective merits. This will serve to make the ^experts "work that much harder to earn the coveted prizes. Handicaps will be in 4orce tmly in club matches, those sponsored by the National association and state matches being barred.. Rating may I# *wmd elsewhom on tMa Grover Cleveland Alexander, not so Many years ago one of the ranking pitchers in the majors, has been appointed manager of the House of -David nine for the coming season. This will prove an added attraction for the well known ballplayers from Benton Harbor, but of course Alex must grow a beard first. And if he does he will then run into difficulties designed to limber his right elbow. If the plans for the McHenry ball club work out smoothly the House of David nine will be booked lor an exhibition game at McHehry's diamond. ' "Work: has started on the tennis Courts at the high school and they *re expected to be in readiness for constant use by the first part of next week. Come on players, get your .rackets in sha>e and also yourselves as the season is here. An excellent way to condition one's self for the arduous game is to limber up behind the Toller or help repair the backstop. Applications for jobs received by Mr. Duker or Coaches McCracken and Doherty. The backstop at the north end of the courts is being repaired and has been taken down to facilitate the job. .. Th$ officials of the McHenry Rifle ilub have just released the schedule for the outdoor matches of the 1931 season. The lid will be popped off in true Cicero fashion next Sunday morning when the 30:06 guns start their booming. The match will be fired over the "B" course. The small bore aggregate trophy will be awarded to the marksman having the highest total for the 60, 100 and 200-yard small bore matches. The total score of the 200, 300, 500, and 600-yard high powered matches will decide the winner of the 30:06 aggregate trophy. ! Handicapping the shooters will be tried out for the first time this year, which is expected to make the match more interesting, as it gives even the poorest shots a chance to walk home with the prize. Handicaps will be given according to classification, the experts have 25, the sharpshooters 15, and scores of 200, 5 points. Following is the classification of the old members. Experts: Sidney Frye, John Smith, Herbert Freund and E. H. (Bruce) Nickels; sharpshootars: Wm. Klapyerich, Frank Klapperich, W.

Grade Plan in School* Cleveland, Ohio.--A system of accrediting grammar school pupils with units of work instead of the presept system of grade is being developed in the Cleveland elementary schools. Designed to permit' students to advance as rapidly as their qualifications merit and to abolish failures, the system divides the 19 elementary subjects taught into work sheets which, when solved, entitle the student to s unit Thus a normally fifth grade student would have to his credit 1,673 units of work. Subtractions would not be made for failures but would group the student Into one of three classifications. "Work sheets are prepared for three classes of students in each grade," explained H. M. Buckley, assistant superintendent la charge of elementary schools. "The X pupil is the highly inquisitive child who learns rapidly and wants more detailed information about the subject. Then there is the Y pupil who learns less rapidly and who does not require quite so much detail. The third group is the Z classification who grasp quite slowly and whose Inquisltlveness is satisfied with a minimum of detail." Students would be given work sheets and ten days or two weeks In which to complete them, whereupon they would be granted a credit apd a new work sheet furnished them. The system has been installed in the city's nine curriculum centers and ts gradually being extended to other elementary schools. Mrs. Ellen Ensign wm a Woodbtock visitor Monday.

ATtKNXIOBr JUNIOR BASEBALL PLATERS The American Legion Post of McHenry has selected Monday night as the night to entertain the boys eligible for the Legion Junior baseball team for the coming season and are extending an invitation to all those lads 'interested in baseball to be at the Legion Hall on that evening to heai the plans for the coming season. Last year McHenry enjoyed-a very successful .season in its first year out, taking the title of the northern half of the county w$Hi6ut much opposition. They tost to Algonquin's veteran team in this playoffs and missed a chance to go to the sectionals. This year the officials in charge of the Athletic department of th« local Legion post feel that they should have a better team due to the experience some of the lads gained last season. Some of the old faces will be missing but even with this handicap the boys can be developed with a little work. All youths under 1? are eligible to compete. To be more exact all boys who will not have reached their 17th birthday by June SOth. It is these fellows that the Legion want to wear their suits this year. Even if you aren't a star, come out anyway, and let; the coaches make one out of you. The meeting will take place Monday evening, April 13, at the American Legion hall /over Thos. P. Bolger's drug store. Fertilize Fruit Trees * Shortly Before Nitrogenous fertiliser applications tor fruit trees should he made twa to three weeks before bloom. The fertiliser does most good if it gets into the tissue of the tree early in the spring when it may influence the size of the leaves, the set of fruit, the length of shoot growth, and the development of fruit, says Prof. A. J. Heinlcke of the New York state college of agriculture. While the tree may absorb nitrogen even after the leaves and fruit has been formed, It is not always best to have too much available late in the growing season. The new growth In a mature apple tree requires about one and one-half pounds of actual nitrogen in a year. About .one-third of this is contained in the fruit crop, and the rest is used in the leaves and shoot growth. Much of the nitrogen In the leaves is recovered and used again the following year. The quantity of reserve nitrogen in the tree and soil varies from year to year, and the plant must depend more on fertiliser one year than another.
