The score then reverted to the prevlouii inning, making it 8-2.

This new decimal target reduces the size of the 10 ring to onehalf its former size. Anyone that haa ever tried hitting the regular mark knows what that means. Considering this fact and the feci that the match took place after the balled up party at Elgin ^hich the boys attended, the scores must be regarded as exceptional. Lester Bacon came in a close second in spite of all the beans he ate the night before. Guess "Germany" thought he was back in the service and let go as if it were in earnest. Wm.

"Whitey" Budrunas of Waukegan and Marquette University, gained publicity in Ripley's "Believe It or Not" cartoon recently by his excellent feat of scoring nine points in less than one minute in a basketball game. The time was given as 52 seconds. When one considers the fact that the ball doesn't go out of play after a basket is scored, but time continues while the ball is tossed up at center it becomes all the more marvelous. McHenry lads do not doubt that "Whitey" can do it as he has aften exhibited his skill against the locals, much to their regret.

The Schmitts tobk the opener from Nick Freund's team 20-8, the Freunds hopping off to a four-run lead in the first, but immediately surrendered and handed out seven runs in the second artu six more in the third. In the next exhibition, if so it might be called, the score was Schmitts 15, Regners 14. Regners started out with five in the first, one in the second and four in the fourth. In the meantime the Schmitts had stored up enough power and whatever else was necessary to put on a big show in the fourth with eleven runs. Ev^n with this help they barely man aged to pull through. The Regners then came back in their next appearance to win the best played game of them all by a 9-6 count. The players have all steadied down somewhat since the start of the season and they are now becoming more accustomed to handling the smaller sized ball.
