Crystal Lake and Woodstock were the victors in the first two contests but Pflug fanned 20 Marengo men to insure a victory and keep McHenry in first place. The above standings do not show ttg^Marengo victory So McHenry is really one game ahead of the Woodstock Typers who have been right on McHenry's heels the better part of the season. 0 Woodstock has won three of the five games played against McHenry this season and every one of them have been at M^Hen*y. Marengo accomplished two of the ibsses and the Lakers the remaining one in their last attempt. Harvard has yet to establish itself as a winner over McHenry. Marengo was downed, 4 to 2 in their last visit when Pflug fanned twenty and had little trouble except in two innings with his usual wildness.

Harvard helped themselves to a great lead in the first ir.ntng by scoring 15 rugs. Very poor fielding by our„ girls behind the pitching of Evelyn Anderson, Rosemary Hetternaan, and acting captain, Audrey Rothermel accounted for all those runs. However, Audrey pitched a good game after the side was finally retired, and the finaloscore was Harvard 30; McHenry 29. Audrey Rothermel, Evelyn Anderson, and Rosemary Hetterman hit. circuit drives.
