The Yankees were the previous holders of the record with ten straight.

C. indoor ten is scheduled to take on their brother Knights from Elgin Council at the school diamond Friday night, the game to be called at 6 o'clock sharp. McHenry Council hasnt had any regularly organized team in late years, but they used to have one that was good enough to be champions of the Fraternal League that was in existence four years ago. STTWD AY Mm LABO* DAY 'ft* double holiday this week-end will find the Athletics striving to entertain the local baseball fans with a pair of interesting games at the local park. Algonquin Cubs and the North Chicago Giants will furnish the opposition and from past records there should be plenty of it. Algonquin was defeated by the A's last month with a ninth inning rally providing the margin of victory and at tfiat the breaks all went against the iWaders. The North Chicago Giants are a colored nine that have gained quite a reputation in northern Illinois, especially among the numerous teams around Waukegan where they have shattered many a winning streak. The McHenry Locals have been defeated by them several times in the past and they have desired a shot at the Athletics- A feature of their team is 'Doc' King a physician who acts as their catcher and who wears neither chest protector nor shin guards behind the plate and often goes without even a mask. He is reported to have used a decker at times. Smith and King will form the battery for the Giants with Johannes and Freund doing the catching. For the Algonquin Cuba Podzeftnie and Filip will work, the former being the advocate of the rosin bag, something seldom "Seen in this circuit. McHenry will counter with iHebaH and Freund, Art having won his last six starts to provide the Athletics with their longest winning streak of the season. The game scheduled with Crystal Lake IGA nine was washed out by the much needed rain of last Sunday' morning. It will most likely be played at a later date. And dont forget flans, the games will start at 2:00 o'clock on both days. This starting time is one half hour earlier than previously so be sure and get there in time to see the whole contest. PUMMS FIRST TO " ' SEND MAIL BY AIR v Hope it- isn't too late to mention that home run pounded out by Kirk Schroeder against the Shamrocks in the morning game a week ago last Sunday. It was a real drive that rolled down into right 'field along the foul line and gave Kirk the honor of pounding out the first homer of the season for his team. The Athletics haven't secured a one so far this year and neither have their opponents. The rain that has been desired for many weeks finally arrived Sunday to break up the sports program for the week-end, but one group, the golfers, being able to function. The second round of the McHenry Country club championship went off without a hitch with all four favorites winning their matches to make it an all Niles Center-Evans ton semi-finals. The two Galitz boys, "Boots" Remke and "Corky" Meierhofer, are the remaining contestants. The holiday week-end will bring in plenty of baseball with the Athletics booking up in a pair of home contests with the Algonquin Cubs on Sunday and |tbe North Chicago Giants on Monday, both games to be played at home. The A's hold a one-run victory over the Cubs, but have never met the colored Giants, who have a very nice reputation as ball players. Johannes will be cn the mound for the A's in the Monday game. They are now telling around that It has leaked out that Joe Miller, famous inventor of our home town, is now working on a new contrivance. The whole thing centers around the desire of those lovers of barnyard golf that gather in the back yard every night and pitch horseshoes until halted by the gathering dusk. Joe is trying to invent an illuminated post that will exude enough light to serve the purpose. Maybe the delay is caused because Joe isn't troubled by the darkness interfering with his ability.

A low diving board and a six-foot platform provide diving facilities at the end of the pool- The grounds are well lighted for night swimming.

John McMahon and his boosters will form the visiting aggregation which will buck up against a team picked from the ranks of the MMACLast year these two teams played * 13-inning game much to the enjoyment of the fans as well as the players. For McMahon's Boosters, Tom Gill will do the pitching and George Oonin the catching. Elsewhere in the lineup will be found such men as Harry Durland, Charles Heimer, Cap Bickler and John Buslee. During the game a hat will be passed to get together enough funds so that the park may be reseeded. Don't let this keep you away from a good time Labor Day morning, however, as there is nothing compulsory about donating if you don't care to. Tonight finds the schedule of the MMAC coming to a close after a more or less successful season. Those who took the games in the right manner as fun and not too seriously, had a good time. Some of the rest didn't. Be that as it may, the crowds'are still turning out and get the same old kick out of seeing these big "kids" get out and display the ability that they do possess. BOYS STEAL OUTBOARD MOTOR Roy and Howard McArthur, James Costello and Frank Zimmermen, youths of Chicago who had been spending the summer along Fox river with their parents, were arrested last week and their case was turned over to the grand jury Monday. These boys, all under twenty yeat-s of age, are accused of stealing outboard motors out of boats along the Fox river. Last week, in their haste to get away, the bandits left a motor hidden in some underbrush which was found by a small boy and reported to Deputy Sheriff George Frett'at Johnsburp. : • The license number on a car seen parked nearby was taken and from various clues the young lads were apprehended. During the hearing Monday the entire story came out, and they became implicated in a burglary of the Pistakee Country club. They named three other Chicago boys as accomplices. , GAME POSTPONED •It# fame between the Crystal IGA team and the McHenry Athletics, which was to have been played here on Aug. 28, for a $50 side bet, was postponed on account of rain, but will be staged on Sept. 11 at McHenry.

The game will start at 2:30 Standard time. On Sunday afternoon the Shamrocks will travel to Woodstock to take on Doc Mengs in a, return game It was Doc Mengs who started the Shamrocks on their present losing streak, so the Shamrocks are out to upaet Doc this time and get revenge for the defeat of a month ago. The Shamrocks will take the field Sunday with a new captain and several new players The changes are being made to secure a more united spirit and a greater defense. Manager Wolck feels confident that the changes in the lineup will make the entire team play a much better brand of baseball.

John Wise, best-known American balloonist of his day, wasthe original air mail carrier. Thomas Wood was postmaster in Lafayette in 1859 when Wise came here for a balloon exhibition. Wise conceived the idea of carrying inall by balloon and endeavored to interest capital in an improved mail service founded on the idea of ballooning the mail from the west coast to the Atlantic seaboard and tram there across the Atlantic ocean by the Sam* means. The Lafayette air mail plan was devised at an experience in connection with an ascension which Wise had contracted to make here on August 18, 1859. The ascent was a failure on that day and was attempted on the following day with greater success. An immense crowd gathered as Wise sailed into the air with a bag of mall Due to lack of wind he was forced to descend near Crawfordsville, SO miles south of here, but first devised a parachute out of a piece of muslin nine feet square. To this he attached the mail bag and dropped it overboard. He landed in his balloon not far from where the mail bag landed. The mail was then placed aboard a train for the Blast The following dispatch tells the remainder of what is known of the event: "Lancaster, Pa., Friday, Aug. 20, 1859.--The special letter bag expressed by the postmaster of Lafayette, with proof of Wise's departure, was dropped from the clouds over Orawfordevllle, Ind., and passed through here today en route to New York In good condition." *WAL1 tmOMM ml NEW YORK •vveerryy large hotel in New York has lost SEPT. 1,1932 ttiftiiiiAiT | '.t ^'| ij*!.! |1 . ia ^ ' nik-sSMjeMlit.

Safety of Cathedral Now Worries British London.--Many Londoners seem to be in constant fear that St Paul's cathedral will either crash to earth some day soon or sink away Into the ground on which it rests. The newspapers recently have carried long stories about both possibilities. There is a far more logical basis for the sinking theory than for the more; disastrous one. Gigantic St Paul's (together with most of the city of London) is only cunningly balanced on wet sand with its foundations no deeper at any point that four and a half feet below the crypt floor. As long as the sand remains wet there is no peril, but during droughts the cathedral already sinks several thousandths of an inch. If the underground springs and streams which keep the sand moist were dammed by excavations for any huge modern buildings nearby St Paul's then would be doomed. For the purpose of exploring and charting the streams and lakes which underlie the city, and by this means to establish the exact danger to St Paul's if any large new building schemes were commenced in the neighborhood the staff of the cathedral has begun digging holes In the floor of the crypt and bore holes will later be sunk at many points within a radius of half a mile of the great church itself. The task will take at least nine months to complete United States in Lead in Air Transportation Chicago.--Americans who returned from Europe a few years ago, convinced that the continent surpassed the United States in air transportation, will have to revise that opinion place where employees turn in the articles left in rooms by guests from Peoria to Peiplng.

One day an oldtime friend, who also had been in the navy, came to visit him, but didn't stay long. Pressed for an explanation, he said: "He's changed a lot In fact, I think he's a bit balmy. He took me into the house and showed me a lot of things sitting around, which he called 'studies In still life.' One of them looked like a spoiled orange. It wax the best one.

Chicago.--Louis (Two Gun) Alterle, who ten years ago was one of the headllners In the Chicago gangland, which then was beginning to reach menacing proportions as one of the evils following in the trail of prohibition, returned .to the scenes of his gangland conquests to find that times have changed. He found that the state's attorneys and courts do not bow down to the gangsters and that now they more or less "treat 'em rough." "I want to get out of Chicago and, stay out as soon as possible," said Alterie following his acquittal on a charge of kidnaping. "Times have changed since I was last through a court appearance." Tried for Kidnaping. , Alterle and Charles (Buster) Brown, a minor hoodlum, were tried on a charge of kidnaping Edward Dobkltt, alias Shamus O'Brien, a bookmaker, for $£,000 ransom. The victim refused to identify the hoodlums, wlilch weakened the prosecutions' case to such an extent that there was no corroboration for the testimony of Gas Sanger, one of the gang, who turned State's evidence, and they were acquitted. After Dion O'Bannlon, one of the first of the gang leaders of the prohibition era, was slain In his floral shop across from the Holy Name cathedral, Alterle, his Iflrst lieutenant publicly announced that he was going to "shoot it out" ^Flth the killers of his chief. Gangland guns, blazed frequently in those day* and soon Alterle disappeared. At first it was thought he had been taken for a ride, but later he turned up as the owner of a dude ranch near Denver, Colo. Alterie, who had many times walked In and out of the police stations and the courts when he was arrested during his popularity as a headline gangster, apparently had retired from his boore activities while In good health. Several times he was reported as being a motion picture cowboy. Finds Times Havs Changed. "We never had mnch trouble In the old days," said Alterle. "When we got pinched we either went out on a forthwith writ or bond was scheduled at once by the handy bondsman. "Seems though that times have changed In this town. When I was extradited here on this case I had to lay In jail for quite some time before I was able to get out on bond. Plenty of negotiating had to be done before a bond was obtainable that was satisfactory to the courts and the state's attorney. "Bond In my time was $5,000 or $10,000 on most anything but murder. Just think of It--I had to get a $50,000 bond--and S good one, at that --before they let me out on this kidnap case." Attorney William Scott Stewart who had represented Alterle before he left Chicago, had considerable difficulty In explaining to his returned client why the case, which was admittedly weak, had not been dismissed without the formality of a trial. That would have been done without question in the old days, Alterle told his lawyer. And Alterle moaned some more after the Jury returned the acquittal verdict. He wanted to return to Denver at once. Judge John Prystalskl, who Is to be the next chief Justice of the Criminal court, said otherwise. A charge of conspiracy growing out of the same case must be tried, the Judge said, before Alterie can leave. S«in*hfff It\ TW IwHi t* KOI M y.
