Clarence Anderson, rated number four man on the MCHS team coming through with a sweet 79 to top r.11 the county's golfing lads by foui strokes. This young lad looks like he is there after being classed as a promising golfer for the entire year. Captain Sonny Johnson wasn't so hoc with an 85, Peterson had an 88 and young Dedo Granger threw another surprise into the dope bucket with an 84 to. finiah third in the individual standing. Crystal Lake, feared most by t,ie McHenry team, took second place but was eleven stroke® behind McHenry in the team standing. Their number four man was good enough for an 83 and second place in the individual rating. Woodstock had nothing but Gene Kuhn and he has shot better golf. Fox Lake was way behind but they had enough intestinal fortitude to enter their team wnich was more than another county school could say as they lost thedr best golfer through ineligibility and didn't send a team to the mtst. Principle Abraham of Woodstock won the County Faculty tournament and took home the Duker trophy by shooting an 86. Coach Orr of McHenry couldn't stand the pressure and finished -with an 87 after going bad on the first and the last three hofos- Supt. Duker also had an excellent chance for awhile but his game went haywire and so did his score. But it was a darned interesting event and the participants wouldn't pass it Bp next year for anything. Mchenry Softballers had a mighty interesting game with Woodstock last week for the leadership of the leauge. MHenry is now tied with Walworth for the lead in this division and these two teems meet here Friday night at nine o'clock to fight it out. Pflug didn't allow Woodstock a hit until the sixth and then Woodstock filled the bases in the sixth, seventh and eighth but couldn't score until the ninth when they pushed over four runs to bring the scoi-e to 5-4 in favor of McHenry. Woodstock also had two men on when Webster fanned for tha fourth time during the game because he didnt Noah how to hit Pftoff's fa$t one. ANDERSON PACES MCHS GOLF TEAM TO VICTORY Led by Clarence Anderson, medalist, the McHenry High School golf team romped to victory in the annual McHfenry Coi^ity Golf Tournament over tfojrl8-hole McHenry Country Club course last Saturday. Their margin of victory was eleven points over Crystal Lake, their nearest rivals. Woodstock and Fox Lake also entered teams, but finished far back in the standing. Clarence Anderson shot a 89-40 for a sweet 79 to take the low medal prize, despite the fact that he wa? rated number four man on the local rquad. Gordon Granger, rated third on past performances, had an 84 for third place in the individual ranking and second on the McHenry quartet. Captain Sonny Johnson had an off day with an 85 and Mielvin Peterson shot an 87, to make up the final total of T85. Irving Cochrane, another four*1! ranking player, was low for Crystal Lake with an 83, second low score of the tournament. His team finished with 346 for second place. Woodstock, raced by Floyd Kuhn's 88, finished with 376 and Fox L*ke had 409. , The victory is the second consecutive win by McHenry and they keep possession of the cup for another year- Next year McHenry should romp to victory as they have all their team cpming back and will have a valuable addition in Vale Adams, who will graduate from Eighth grade this yeai, but who can give most of the lads lessons already. With Clarence Anderson showing great promise the chances are even better than ever. Principal Abraham cf Woodstock won the men's faculty tournament with an 86 and took home the Duker award for this division.

McHenry fans might have been a little partisan bat it looked tft them like Whiting won the first two rourfcKs but HfaUeti^om «ame back strong and left a good state with the fans and the crowd and there went the decision Amen! Louis Orr was also on the card but his regular man didn't show up and a sub was sent into the ring. Orr finished him just before the bell ended the second round with a pair of rights the last one of which went home with a crack that you could hear all over the pavilion. His opponent's head hit the floor outside the ring and he failed to COM back bi time for the third roond. •« * li "• : i-' There was another knockout in the next fight when Paul Schicks of Libertyville won bis fight in the first roynd from some Chicago lad who didn't look half bad. Then Johnny Hellstrom, in a scheduled five round winoup, gave George Nixon of Waukegan, all he could take in three rounds *nd the colored lad didn't show up for the last two, very wisely, rvy is known to' the fans as the oldest" of the Hellstrom twins as he is larger and more finished looking than EddNe, his twin brother. The wrestling match was saved until the last and well that they did as it was a drab. Some Green that looked to be all cheat wrestled a lad from Armour Tech. The Greek started in with some rough' 'pro" stuff and the Armour lad didn't beef but came right back with a little more. After it got started there was no stopping it and the match held the interest of all the fans until the Armour lad was pinned in something over eight minutes. That Greek chap had the stuff all right and was a powerful man in more ways than en?. WOODSTOCK* Floyd Kuhn .... Lavem Gasser Kenneth Feltman Raymond Youngberg .. GRANT-- Edward Fritxsche ........

The final score was 5 to '4 and Woodstock had men on second and third when Pflug ended the 'game by fanning Webster for the fourth straight time for the third out in the ninth. McHenry built up a lead in th« first, tljree innings by getting one in tlMjnefcnd on hits' by Bohr and Pflug end an error by Schacht on Downs' grounder to short, which allowed Bohr to score. Then in the third they shot across four runs off Conley by some real sojgtril, hitting, including a double by Decerns and a homer by Hup Smith, who SIBO collected a double that went for naught in the second. Thennes waUted to start things, but was forcedj£{& lteond on Bohr's tap to Conley. Pflug. tben forced Bohr at second and things didn't look so bright Down*, scored Pflug with his double and Krause waa safe on an error by Kuppe. Hup their came through with his fourbagger and the score was 5-0, in which status it remained until the big Was weakening toward the part of the game and had the jhfcded with Woodstockers in • tW seventh and eighth, but it wasn't tho ninth that they crossed home plate. Krulls singled to start it all, but Ballard popped to Clarence Smith at. short. Sayler walked and so did Sundman and Anderson survived on Downs' error. After Seagrist grounded out, Kupp^p doubled when twd>< the outfielders got mixed up and played the Alphons-Gaston act. C. Ballard walked to fill the bases and Webster then obligingly fanned to end it all. Pflug fanned fifteen to continue on his Swiy'to a title in strikeouts while Conlev disposed of half a dozen by that method. FfcfijW,night, June 1, McHenry will entertain Walworth here in another gams Sipon which the lead of the league will hinge. Walwjorth got off to a poor start, but changed pitchers and now are going great guns. Woodstock has faced the new man and claims that hp is equal to Pflug, if not smperior. It surely ought to be a game well worth the price of one dime tor admission.

Billy Treest, middle weight champ of the Golden Gloves team, was introduced. Billy used to fight at the Bridere when he was just getting started and he was a long ways from his present 160 pounds at that time but he has filled out beautifully now. Renehan is to feature Treest on one of his future cards. Another celebrity that McHenry fans will know is young Talaber, wrestler from Northwestern University, wno refereed the wrestling match and did a swell job cf it. His dad is the old time wrestler who has appeared at the Bridge and who is well known in these parts- .•a ;• Harold Fpeund, watching a Softball game in the city park with the Married Men furnishing the amusement, v. as severely injured when a bat slipped from the grip of a batsman and s truck him just below the knee of his right leg. The bat was coming wich terrible force and cut a hole right in the shin, a mighty painful hurt thai v.ill keep Harold out of baseball for some time. He was sitting on the bench about fifteen feet away but hadn't a chance to move when he saw the bat coming. Accidents will happen but too much care cannot be taken to prevent a repetition of this type as it might have been a head instead of a leg that the-bat struck. Most of the Scouts thought that the meeting Monday would be the last meeting of the year, but to our surprise it wont be. However, it will be the last meeting Mr. Schoenholtz *rtll have charge until Sept. 10. Eagle Scout Richard Vycitai will take chargc of the boys for this summer with meetings every two weeks. Fishing trips, boat hikes, swimming trips and overnight hikes will be part of Itis program. Don't think there'll be a lot of excitement just because the Scoutmaster will be gone. No, sir, not one bit Be at all the meetings because as Mr. Schoenholtz said, "Rich can handle the meetings as well i's I." Besides the troop committee will be present! Ten fellows have registered for the Camp-O-Ree June 18-21. . Come op, you fellows, we want a lot there representing McHenry. There are quite a few tents available and for such a cheap price, it will be great for all boys. It's your chance to see what great things the Scouts can do. "Capture the Flag" with a thousand <>r each side- Think of it! Then to top off the great events, it tells about in the pamphlet that was given to you, the circus will finish things up in full rtyle. Already some of the boys are eating the dinner at the Nelson Hotel for the team which wins the baseball game. They think they can Win easily. * The meeting was one of test passing planning. What are you planning tc dc. about this? Are you going to study or not? I could ask a lot of questions but that's up to you. Mr. Schoenholtz wants to see a lot of advancement next fall, so let's not disappoint him! Don't let the old Scout bo^Jc get cobwebs on it, but use It, regularly. With baseball season in full swing, •we couldn't go without a game at the rreeting. Francis Cox and Robert Kilday chose and Richard Vycitai settled disputes. I don't really know vrho won, but what a game it was. Even a grand stand filled by Mr. Hess, Mr. Orr, and last, but not least, the Scoutmaster. What thrills came out of it! Slipping and falling was part of the game, but to add to that the batting was handicapped by the old familiar dumbells. It was one of the best games this year but not the last Rlemember the-meetnigs every two weeks and the fishing' trip June 11. "Rmember the rules. I want to see the whole troop fishing for first honors.. Let's all give a farewell cheer to the Scoutmaster until fall.
