Camp, No. 6818, will hold their next meeting Wednes Something unusual and unexpected _ turned up out of a clear sky when day, Sept. 267 aT < o'clock lnstead cf Coach 0rr received notice of the golf ; Tuesday. Eddie Gerard BACON'S By f 'ZEKEW BACON, est line ffeeaa ture of a splendid season of softball will take place at the McHenry Softball park under the lights. At 7:30 McHenry will play Crystal Lake in a regular game and then at 8:45 the Married Men will play the McHenry Leaguers in a Donkeybail game, a game in which all the players except the pitcher and catcher are mounted on donkeys. It is something that is a new wrinkle in baseball and has proven to be quite popular whereeve* it has been displayed, - . y The batter has to hit the ball mount his donkey, and try to reach first on the obstinate beast: When hvj hits the ball the fielder must chase the ball on his mount until he gets within a foot of the ball, dismount and get the ball, mount again and throw the ball to his teammatH in an attempt to get the runner out. TJje donkeys are furnished by a Texas outfit and are well trained in all the ornery tricks typical of their species. The admission price will 'be two bits and tefi cents, the dime for the kiddies. ' ..j-VW'-; Tomorrow afternoon the St.- Mary's tfeam from Woodstock will help McHenry High to open the 1934 football season at the local field. Coach Orr has been working his boys hartj in scrimmage this week in an attempt to get them into the semblance' of a smooth:working unit. St . Mary's team is light as usual but Orr has nothing to boast about in the line of heavyweights in his roster. The starting lineups are listed elsewhere on this page. Get out and give the boys a real start and help them make this the most successful season in MCHS history. ,. • / -• : I • «j. - The regular' sexton tickets for the High School athletic games are again on sale for the price of $2.25. This not/only includes admission to the five home football games, everyone of them on Friday afternoons, but allows entrance to all home basketball games and to the two boxing shows scheduled for the coming season. A bargain if there ever was one and a bargain that shouldn't be passed up by those loyal backers that always stick by the team. \ _ Every man on the largest football squad that ever turned out for a MCHS team will see action Friday afternoon. Orr will pick out his regulars and then send the tWenty-two lowest ranking players against each other in a preliminary game preceeding the St. Mark's fracas. This game will consist of two five minute periods and will give many of the players their first baptism of fire. The exhibition which is bound' to be a huge success, is scheduled to start at 4:00 o'clock. 'Xlie franchise of - the old Ottawa hockey team of Canada has been transferred to St. Louis, Mo„ and Eddie Gerard, former -manager of the Montreal team, has been engaged, to manage the team of the city by the bridge. , Full-Length Belted Cdfit A l u l l length belted coat of Hollander Hudson seal.

Plaindealer Want Ads bring results tournament for alt Illinois High Schools which is being held this fall for the first time in the history of the high school state golf tournament. The meet was always held in the Spring of the year. As a result of this sudden announcement, Coach Orr is in a quandry. |Ie has been looking forward to sending a strong team to the District Golf "meet this year but now that it is necessary to get a team ready in a hurry he finds that he has to sacrifice his men from the football squad or weaken his golf team. It's hard to practice both but that's what they have been doing and the lads on the golf team have their orders not to let up on their football gr off the Bquad they go. MCfiS-ST. MARY'S PLAT FOOTBALL HERE FRIDAY Tomorrow afternoon the MCH]S football squad, very one of them, will crack open the 1934 football season with St. Mary's of Woodstock as their worthy opponents. Coach Orr has nearly forty men out for the squad this year, but many of them are so small that they cannot possibly be of any value to the varsity this year, but they are all out there with the old do or die spirit and the knowledge they are getting this year will prove invaluable after they acquire the necessary weight in yeaiirto comer Every one of these lads, large or small, are to see action tomorrow as, starting at 4:00 o'clock, there will be a game consisting of two five-minute periods between all those not included in the varsity squad. When this is over the two regular teams represent ing McHenry and St. Mary's will battle it out for the supremacy of the gridiron. Coach Orr scrimmaged his men for the first time Monday night anii' was terribly disappointed. If they do not polish up rapidly before Friday night rolls around that small, speedy squad from the county seat is going to return home with a victory in its hip pocket. Mel Steussy is again coaching' the team and his reputation for turning out winners is Well known. - A special season ticket for adults has been placed on .the market, a ticket which includes not only admission to the five home football tickets, but entrance to all 'the home basketball games and to the two boxing matches that are carded for this year. These tickets will sell for $2.25 and are a real bargain. The school should have some real backers this year as they have been coming to the front more, and more during the past few years. If you are a genuine backer of the schog^'s athletes buy a ticket and save money. These tickets will be available at the game or may be purchased at any time by calling M>*.

Business Men's Soft Ball League Town Team, 23; Married Mien, 8 The pick of the Married Men's soft ball league proved a very soft opponent for the town team at the city ball park last evening.

Gordon Granger, reserve lineman, Clarance Anderson and Vale Adams setting out for the district golf meet at Highland Park to play over the Sunset Valley course in an attempt to qualify for the State meet the following week. The four best from each District are sent to the state finals. Coach Orr is hoping that some of the boys get lucky and qualify. And so do we. A few weeks ago we mentioned that Coach Orr and the MCHS powers that we were working hard to get the District meet here In the 8pring. Now that the announcement that the tournament will be held this fall has been made Coach Orr wanted it known that his efforts were sincere eo he wrote to the Illinois High School State Athletic Association for an explanation as to why his bids for the event had received no attention whatsoever. A paragraph from the answer that he received from C. W. Whitten, manager of the IHSAA: "The facts are that your letter offering 4his service was put in a folder marked 1935 golf tournaments. When we started in to locate these tournaments for this fall we just simply overlooked that folder completely. This was jtn oversight for which I apologize. We are leaving your application along Kith your letter of September 12th in our folder for 1935 golf tournaments NOTICE TO DUCK HUNTERS All duck hunters,- who wish to hunt duck, geese or Tirant, must first procure a federal duck stamp from the local postmaster, which is pasted on the back of the license.

' OARL SCHMITT WINS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP • j - -- -.Carl Schmitt of Niles Center is the new club champion of the McHenry Country Club. Carl gained this distinction after a thrilling comeback on the last eighteen to overcome a sever.- up lead held by Milt Mazurek to .tie him at the end of thirty-six holes. On the extra hole Carl emerged the victor. Milt was plenty hot in the morning, but knew he had to build.up a lead to, protect his fast tiring legs for the afternoon round. He had an 80, but there were several bad holes that made his -meditl score look larger than it should. In "the afternoon Carl, bucked up by the inspiring talks of Boots, Lordy, Corky and Chick Evans the second, turned on the steam and gained steadily until the ultimate tie was peached and then the victory was accomplished on the extra hole. Carl succeeds Elmer Galitz, champ for, the past two years, who was defeated by the new title holder in the semifinals this year. Carl earned and, deserved the victory..

Work was' supposed of last week. and I can assure you that when we embark upon the project of locating these tournaments for next fall you will get one of them if I still have the duties and authority which I now have." " CONGRATULATIONS, SAYS NYE Congratulations to you, McHfenry High School Football Team! Right from the beginning of the school term you've captured the spirit it takes to win games. Your signed,, story last week proves that you can stick to gether'journalistically. Now let us see you do it athletically; When the hair on the back of "the McHenry Tigers stands in a ruff over as inconsequential a matter as a feature story, it looks as though they might show promise for the Current season- Especially when they pretend to have "brains," which, according to their opinion, the "former aspirants for the football team did not "possess." It would be something to have a football t*am made up of the intelligentsia. It would even be a good subject for a feature article. Be that as it may, let it never be said that the "old grad" was one to quibble over the fine points of a signed answer story. So he'll skip it with the parting suggestion that when you speak of the institution at Urbana-Champaign kindly remember that it is called the University of Illinois, not "Illinois 'U.'" You may not see the difference, but when you ude the latter name you are unconsciously belittling your own state university-- putting it in a class with all the other schools of higher learning in the State of Illinois. If this explanation is inadequate, ask any of the thirteen McHienry high school graduates attending the University of Illinois and they will make it clear to you, believe me. -- Getting back to the football field, appears to be receiving a lot of punishment. The much discussed sod is already beginning* to darken. Coacn Orr is moulding his material with a good deal of vigor. More power to him. < if any of the football teajn feel like answering this article, let them have no qualms about doing it :nerely because the writer will be down in the Twin Cities. We receive the Plaindealer down there, you know. It is good to find a football team that is not so willing to "take it." There has been too much of that ih recent years and with a long string of defeats to show for it. Especially does the writer recall, after three years' service on the second team, the J931 season with a »solid schedule of defeats. Yes, the football team has shown itself quite adept at being able to "dish it out" through^ the Columns of the press: Let them start off the season by "dishing" half so well on the gridiron and we will acknowledge their true, worth. LOWELL NYE. Well, here" we are, back again hoping for a bigger and better year. It sure looks that way by the- new kind of meetings that will go on. Robert Kilday will take care of openings and closings of meetings. GeOrge Johnson and "Yours Truly" will provide* the games; songs and stories, G. Granger; Jack HeSs, Donald Granger, Richard and Stanley Vycital and Raymond Hughes, instruction in J Scoutcraft. The meetings were good last year. Well all you haveTfo do is to "show up" at the meetings and see a real treat! j ,• To get Under Way the "Pledge of Allegiance" was repeated. As it was Constitution Day, America Was sung with gusto. And. when I ^ay gusto I don't mean "perhaps" for you should have heard the hall ring with a troop of "scouts singing with all of their might. Suddenly the tune chahgecl to "It IsA't Any Trouble" and "Baptist Sunday School." Th ey were all sung with thfc same pep as the first song. Counting off always makes th^ scouts predict which game will be. piayed. First of all th^; strenuous "Ttrg of War" was played. I really don't know which team won,. but what does it matter with all of the fun we had ? But that wasn't all of the games we had. , Another one , was "Antelope Race" where four teams of four players, each running back and forth across the gymnasium until the team 'closest to the north won and the side farthest south took^ second place. Figure that out! Nbw a few announcements: To go to the Northwestern ball-game in a little while (the authentic date hasn't yet been received) you pass at least one test. A merit badge or any test is your ,work and look what you get for it. Seeing two teams battling accro& s the white-lined field for more points than their competitor. Why don't yw, while you're passing one test, "buckle down" to work and pass a whole lot for I have heard that a "Co.virt of Honor" will be held soon and inaybe you wtiuldd like a few badges pinned on your breast. On Saturday at 4:00 o'clock the Scoutmaster would like to see eighteen present and I think that it can be done. Some of you that haven't been on a hike have 'missed a lot of fur.. A chance to pass the tests and play games is offered With" the experience of sleeping out. be present! Five scouts, including Bob Kilday, Ray Hughes, Richard Vycital, Mr. Schoenholtz and I, went on a hike to .Sherman's Hill. Officiary the hike had been called off but we just wanted to seeswhat it was like, but the three of , us wished we hadn't. It rained hard at night and the two in the tent were the only ones that didn't get wet. Be at all meetings" and look at that Scout handbook every so often. SCOUT HAROLD TAXMAN, Say you read it <m THE PLAINDEALER.; - , SOMETHING NEW IN- BASEBALL* The McHenry Softball Tean: is offering something new in the way of entertainment next Wednesday evening, Sept. 26. The Softbaflers are to engage the Marired Men's team in a game of Donk'ey Baseball.
