Now that Mac has gone east it doesn't seem like the same Cubs but somehow they still demand the most of our attention. With all-apologies to White Sox fans. % iSVThe world's speed' reeorcf for outboard motored craft was broken by Fred Gilbert of Los Angeles recently when he drove his Crandall Comet at an average speed of 51.032 miles per hour on two straightaway runs of a mile each. Ray Pregenzer of Antioch was the holder of the former record. Ray has appeared in many local races both on the river and the lakes of the Fox system. Bert Metzger of Notre Dame football fame has accepted a position a3 assistant coach of the Catholic University, Washington D.

Despite this fact the warm weather brought a good attendance and the men enjoyed themselves immensely. Fred Casper, ranking second in the gross score to Wm. Klapperich, took home the prize for the day with a high net score of 198. Bill's handicap brought his 204 net down to 189 gross. Nevertheless Bill is still in favor of the handicapping rule. The scores follow, the first three columns being for 200, 300 and 500 yards at slow fire, while the fourth and fifth columns are 300 yard and 200 yard rapid fire, respectively. The sixth gives the gross scores and the last column the net for the day. The next match will be held Maj^S, and will be a small bore match over the 200 yard range. Wm.

She spoke on the sub"r ject of schools, reviewing them from the beginning through their growth into state, county and community organizations, going into the work of the rural schools in an interesting way. She also told of the taxation necessary to keep up the schools and of the advance of education and of the time when it became necessary to give the girls the same amount of education as the boys received. The afternoon closed with games planned by Mrs. George Johnson and prizes of gladioli bulbs were won by Mrs. C. W. Klontz and Mrs. R. Fleming.

Organized two years ago the league has steadily gained in popularity and is expecting an even better showing this season.

McCracken, local coach, has mostly all Frosh and Sophs on his squad this year and will most likely get off to a poor start unless some phenoms appear from out of the ozone. Patzke, last year's star, is still out of the picture from his recent attack of pneumonia and will not I* much use this season. Even though the tennis courts at the high school are still • minus a backstop and the necessary lines, the players are so anxious they just cannot wait to get the game under way and have invaded the crushed stone courts just to "loosen up." Several years ago ten persons could not be found in town who were interested in the game but since Coaches Doherty and McCracken, especially the former, have organized matches among the students the game has steadily grown in popularity and now ranks at the | top of the list of spring activities. Several minor changes in the popular game of basketball were made at the recent meeting of the Rules Committee but nothing radical was changed in the playing code. Among the changes perhaps the most noticeable i will be the reduction of the time out periods to one minute only. Two |j minutes were formerly used but the frequent lengthy interruptions were proving detrimental to the game. The dribble was met with unanimous approval to continue as in the past. It will be remembered that several years ago a suggestion to limit the dribble to one bounce was given much consideration and was finally dropped only after allowing probation for year. Other current changes <fea free- The reopening of the Bridge amuse ment home for which the boxing and wrestling fans have been anxiously waiting is to take place April 24, one week from tomorrow night. Manager Giese has a splendid card of five boxing > and three wrestling bouts scheduled, featuring old and well known disciples of the game. The programs will continue at regular -intervals hereafter, there being a show scheduled for every other Friday night until further notice. Among the boxers on the opening night's card will be George MadoI< of Libertyville, Butch Butler of Elgin, Lloyd Mullins, the mauler from Deerfield, and Howard Kraft of Grayslake. All are good men in their assorted weights and will provide en tertainment for the most critical of fans. Freddie Cassero, Golden Gloves winner, may also appear on the opening night, but it is not certain. The wrestling cast will include Eddie Schmitt of our own locality, George Platnmer of Genoa City, and the popular Frank Talaber, a oneman show in himself. All are in good shape and ready to give a good ac count of themselves. The Bridge sponsored an early sea jon program which was interrupted by Good Friday. From now on Manager Giese is prepared to entertain fans from near and far and give each and every one of them their just desserts as far as ring class is concerned. The shows will start prompt* ly at 8:30 and the eight matches will be run off in regular order. Benefit Card ftfrtf A public card party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs/ J. F. McLaughlin at Ringwood on Wednesday evening of last week, the proceeds going towards the expenses of the high school orchestra for their trip to Cleveland next month.

The Broadway Bums started their baseball season Sunday, by trimming Johasburg 8 to 6, in ten innings. Thurlwell pitched good ball for the first game and must be credited for the victory. Huemann also pitched good ball, but was wild at times. A. Anderson and Robert scored seven of the eight runs to start the season out right.
