Sounds like its about time the boys were beginning to commence. the bowling season in ah official manner last Tuesday evening when all members of the bewling league were invited to attend a meeting at the Palace Alleys. Entertainment in the form of singing pin boys, special for the occasion, was rendered and all seemed to en- Joy a night of recreation.

The leaders are Nick Freund, Joe Regner, Jim Perkins and Joe M Schmitt. May 6 has been set for the opening date with Mayor Knox scheduled to deliver the first ball. Games will be played as cus- >n Tuesday and Thursday With the extra hour of daylight the games should be better played than usual aa darkness has usually interfered with some of the players, at least they gave that as The roster of the teams The Bridge program of fights was a sad affair last Friday night with many fight fans being disappointed. The fight was scheduled to begin at 8:30, but the old accustomed fans have beeh forced to wait for the battles to begin so often that they have started to come later. At the scheduled hour, but a mere handful of fans was on hand to view the bouts so Manager Giese called off the card and sent everyone home only to find that the fans continued to come for some time. Whether or. not it was a wise moye on his part remains to be seen. As for his intentions regarding future cards nothing feNt been learned to date. •* The Mchenry baseball team is scheduled to make its first appearance of the season next Sunday at the Wonder Lake diamond in a practice tilt. The boys have had no chance to get any real practice, due to the enforced delay in the preparation of their diamond, caused by the inclement weather. This game will give them a chance to loosen up and get the "feel" of things before opening their regular schedule. A game had originally been scheduled with an Elgin aggregation, but on the diamond progressed so slowly it had to be postponed. Manager Walt Fwnnd, t.hnn»h nnf filing SO ajii y Iiinioeir, following his TBCem, operation, is more than anxious to get started in order that he may witness the results of the long hours of studying, and planning he labored through this winter. It won't be Jpng now! Track at the high ticafly been abandoned of material given as the There has been a woeful slump in the interest displayed in this beneficial sport with but two or three performers rating up to par, and it was thought best to allow the boys to follow playground baseball and tennis until the desire for the track and field events grow stronger. Patzke and Anderson are about the only ones showing enough interest to warrant any coaching, the former having a good showing at the trianguat Crystal Lake recently. This pair will no doubt continue tc keep in shape so that they may attend the sort of stole the headlines this past week with their baseball performances. All Rogers did waa to bang out three consecutive homers to drive in eight runs and trim the Pirates single-handed. And these were only three of the eleven hits he garnered in fifteen times at bat to raise his average up where it should be. Charlie Root, for his share, turned in his second and third victories of the a fine pair of six-hit But for all of that they are still leaving too many potential runs on the bags. In Sunday's game with the Reds they made three runs off thirteen hits and left eleven on the bags. The Reds made four plays. McHenry Rifle club's team finally took the Elgin boys over the road, having waited until the last match of the season to accomplish their victory. Fehrman again led the Elgin crew, as well as the rest of the marksmen. The victory gave Elgin the Fox Valley Championship with a total of 7,320 points to McHenry's 7,164 for the four matches. In return for allowing the Elgin crew to walk off with the title the Watch City Five is tendering the McHenry club a real treat. Next Saturday evening the McHenryites are to journey to Elgin to partake of a real feed and then enjoy a movie afterward. A special invitation was extended to this "humble"servant" for which he Is very thankful. ItH have to be a sane evening, however, as the next rifle match takes place May 9. The scores should prove interesting. AUU Most of m are firmly eenvtoeed that we could make a success of life if we only hnd time McHPriry timfihorf g poor second 'n their matches with the strong Elgin Rifle club for the championship of the Fox Valley, but managed to rally and. take the last of the four matches by a score of 1,824 to 1,805. This score gives the teams totals of 7,302 to 7,164. Fehrman of Elgin was the outstanding star of the series, leading the down river five in every match and being closely pressed by any of the McHenry club but once or twice. With one good man to steady them any team can arise to the heights often enough to make victory easy. Both teams thoroughly enjoyed each and every match and the good sportsmanship of the Elgin crew is readily recognised when one considers the fact that they are throwing a party for the losers next Saturday night at Elgin. They have prepared a feed and have some interesting movies which should interesting. The memof the local club are planning to attend and should see the secretary at once in order that preparations for the event can be completed. The next Rifle club shoot will place at the local outdoor range Sunday morning. May S.

As but forty players were needed the first to turn in their names were given the preference. No doubt some are disappointed because they find themselves left out in the cold, but it can be blamed to no one but themselves for their negligence their desire to play. The schedule calls to play twenty games and to appear once each week on either Tuesday or Thursday evening;. Perhaps afternoon would be the better way to express the time since the new daylight saving time has been put into action. This change in time is very beneficial to the players and no doubt the games will be enjoyed more than ever as the darkness will not interfere. Joe Regner, Jim Perkins, Joe M. Schmitt and Nick N.
