Managev Walt Freund received some very cheering news yesterday that should prove encouraging to those interested in the welfare of the local baseball nine. Everyone knows The long^Mrtpted grand opening of the McHetny baseball park took place last Sunday amid the wind and dust, with Sehoewer hurling the local Athletics to a thrilling 2-0 victhat a good, strong pitching staff is. tory over the strong Elgin Eagle?, a necessary element on any sqaad The game was a pitchers' battle that expects to go places and, whOe j throughout, but eleven hits being Sehoewer is A-l as far as he goes, no j registered off the offerings of Koppen is expected to be at top form whehever called upon. The newt that Walt received is the return of LaBahn from Dubuque, Iowa, where he has been enjoying a brief stay at the expense of the Mississippi Valley club, who thought him an excellent prospect. It has developed that he wasn't quite 'good enough to remain, but he no doubt will prove a valuable member for the A's of Elgin and the local ace. Of those five were off McHenry bats and two of these were doubles which just about decided the outcome of the contest. An interesting playground ball game took place last Friday night "it the high school field with Hacker's of Woodstock going down into defeat before the McHenry lads by a 16-7 score. It was a free scoring tilt all the way with the locals, manned by pickups from the league and high school, piling up a .big lead while the light was still good. When darkness overcame, the players of the visiting team started to shine and for a time it seemed as if they would blot out the advantage of the locals, but the It was a beautiful spectacle aU the time was too short and the final why with practice being conducted in an orderly manner and without the usual loss of time occasioned by mismanagement. Once the game was under way the spectators thrilled at throughout the campaign- Besides Lthe sight of batter after batter being being an experienced moundsman La- j disposed of by the brilliant work of Bahn rates high as an infielder and can handle a bat creditably. LaBahn had originally planned to play with McHenry, but later jumped at the offer of a tryout with Dubuque. He expected to return earlier, but proved to be such a promising candidate that he was among the last bench of rookies to be released.^ fti Johnsburg lost Sunday to the State Liners at the Wisconsin park. Miller was slated for the mound work for the losers, but he failed to show up and Joe Britz undertook the strenuous task. Joe got along excellent until the sixth, allowing but one hit, but he tired in the later innings and tfao winning runs worn tallied. Tlje Bums took Wauccinda into camp with "Spots" Tfcuriwell doing the hurling for the wipners.' The Buns are up and coming and may develop some future prospects for the A's. It's quite a. struggle for the boys with no means of financing the games, but they seem to get along sonte way. Friday night finds the McHenry youths facing the A's at the local park. Come out and look over pll. .the home talent. White Sox fans are cheered by the fa£t that the addition of Lou Fonseca of the Cleveland Indians is expected to fill a hole in the infield and also add plenty of hitting strength, something the Sdx can use with ease. Though hating to see Willie Jiamm leave they are most all of the opinion that Wee Willie wasn't playing the brand of ball he was capable of producing and will do better elsewhere. As' usual the tennis courts at the high school are getting torn up and roughened by the use of leather soled and heeled shoes by some of the players.* If only those players who use that type of shoe just to be *mart and who think they ate "putting something over" could realize that they are just harming themselves and restricting their own enjoyment, surely they would cease the practice. the rival moundsmen. Sehoewer struck out ten of the old-timers irom Elgin while Koppen*. displaying a neat vicabulary of hooks and change of pace, set down eleven via the strikeout method. The crowd was fair in s|se,Nhat not as large as had been hoped for at the opener, but. it {» hoped that the splendid character of Sunday's exhibition will tend to increase the size of the crowds hereafter. Lovers of real baseball got just what they were looking for and enjoy most last Sunday and are sure to return to witness more of this brand of baseball. „ „ „„„„ | A semi-pro team from the vicinity e El Itgaro gives an entire page of Wis.* is to appear here next Sunday to give the fans an exhibition of What the national pastime is like as playfed in the Badger state.

Included in the lineup of ike Eagles Sunday were mrfhy old-time favorites who were well known to the fans back in the days when the diamond was - , . located on the old Baur property next to the mill pond and not so many was around last Sunday and asked to be allowed pitch one game for the locals just far old timecs sake. Fans will well remember him and will no doubt be interested in seeing him if he still has the old magic in his left arm. Winkel and -Schumacher got the extra base hits that spelled defeat feet away from the present location. Among this number are Ryan, catcher; Bowen, shortstop; and Chapin, third sacker. Dick Walsh and some of the other notables of* the diamond sport in those good old days will well remember them. About that time many of the present day players were running around in the often spoken of knee pants, but these old timers are still able to give a good account of themselves in the favorite pastime. week's game. Hits were mighty scarce and but one man had reached base for the A's, Winkel having walked in the second, when Schumacher survived with one down in the fourth. The life-givine- play was a splendid stop by Chapin of a bounder over third, but his throw had to be hurried and pulled Schick off the bag. Ryan then committed the first of his expensive passed balls and Pela went to second. It looked like Winkel was going to get his second score indicated the supremacy of the winners. In an early season game *played at Woodstock, McHenry waa victorious by a 17-3 margin, employing but nine men in their lineup to the loser'3 ten. It must be that the Hacker squad has been practicing. Indoor League idle ~ Standings in the local indoor have remained unchanged during the past, week, with but one game being played. That ended in a tie, with the Schmitts and Perkins squads each having no less than fourteen runs each. It is no wonder that darkness halted the game. If such conduct is to continue a suggestion is that they run the games on Eastern Daylight Saving Time so that they may get through before dusk. This is not a proposal by D. S. T. Winkel. Elmer Freund, J. Perkins, Charles Freund and Paul Patzke each scored three runs for the Perkins ten but their splendid work was nullified by the skill of "Fat" Granger, Ed Thennes and Jim Frisby at the bat. George Voeltz also came in for his share of the glory by slamming out four hits. At least that's what the records show although there seems to be a scarcity of errors which are usually so numerous in this type of ballgame.

The slow and rapid fire series were used, but even the slow fire was bothered by the strong breeze that bore reminders for the marksmen that hard times are still blowing around the country. R. Smith stepped to the fore with a neat total of 81. It is interesting to note that the fore ranks were! more proficient on the rapid fire, while those with the lower scores fell down in this division. Herb Freund, singularly the only Freund in the club, placed second with 79.

This year's team from the down river city has been reinforced by some young, ambitious players recruited from last year's Legion squad, champions of the district. Many of these players will be remembered from their appearance here, last year when they defeated the McHenry Legion nine in the championship playoff. Hawley will start on the mound for the Lakers. This mound veteran already has two victories to his credit, one of them being over McHenry, gen* erally rated as the strongest team in the county at present. Wonder Lake also has an improved nine over last year and will now put up a good argument with any team in this region. The game is scheduled to start at 2 o'clock standard time, 3 o'clock daylight savings time, and will be played at the Wonder Lake field> ERECTING NEW BARN The barn on the farm of Mat Blake west of McHenry has been razed and a new and modern barn is now under construction. The foundation is now being made by the Tonyan Contraction company and the carpenter work will be done by Henry J Schaffer.

After this week the opponents will all be out of town nines, adding to the interest of the event.
