The game made up part of the program on Home Coming Day at the Spring Grove Centennial. The C.O.F. boys turned out to be very unruly guests, for they slapped Spring Grove down 7-2 to run their string of victories to six. The Foresters were forced to put a patched-up line-up on the field due to the absence of several of their regulars. On first base* they hn^ George P.

Maybe there is something to this night baseball. ^ ALL STARS WIN LABOR DAY GAME AFTER DROPING ALGONQUIN TILT McHenry's All Stars lost a road game to Algonquin last Sunday 3 to 0, then pame home to beat the strong Burlington Brews in the Labor Day game 8 to 4. We might as well recite a few words about that Algonquin game first before spreading a lot of ink on the Burlington setto. It's so much easier to get enthusiastio in reporting a win. When you go down to Algonquin to play ball, you might as well make up your mind that you will run into a bunch of free swingers who play ball to win. Twas ever thus. However, in behalf of the lanky Mr. Heitman, of the Pistakee Bay Heitmans, let us say that not an earned run was scored. Being a nice fellow who pitches a good game of ball, it would seem that his mates should have made it their business - to score some runs, say-about four. But, like that fnusic we once heard about, this story goes round and round: C. Hopp was on the moun^ for the Algonquins and took so much interest in his assignment, that nobody scored for McHenry. Then, there were these power boys at the top of the batting order who -followed up some breaks by putting into, effect one of the game's first lessons--namely, hit the ball where they "ain't." , Burlington Game The Labor Day game was much more pleasant from * a local standpoint. The boys rallied behind some high-'class pitching by "Spots" Thurlwell and won their ball game. Burlington started the scoring in the very first inning. Their lead-off man walked, stole second, went to third on a fielder's choice and trotted home after an outfield fly ball. Thurlwell started the fireworks for the All - Stars with a double in the second inning. King sent him to third with a single and he scored while the pitcher was tagging Clarence Anderson. This may be as good a time as any to state that pitcher "Spots" drove out three hits and drew a pass in four trips to the plate. Bennett hit safely to start the third, moved up on Mel Whiting's sacrifice and scored on a mighty blow off Wally Smith s bat. The ball landed out in a corn patch in right center. Wally circled the bases and a searching squad set out to recover the ball. That was the blow that broke the camel's back. Leo Freund kept up the good work by drawing a pass and stealing second. Thurlwell drove him home with a single and McHenry led 4 to 1. Everything went along peacefully enough until the eighth when Burlington mixed three hits with a-couple of passes to score three runs. v The tie lasted only until McHenry could take their turns at the plate in their half of the eighth. McConnell led off with a single and promptly legged it home with the wirlning run when Wally Smith's big bat was again heard from. This time it as a double for Wally. Three walks followed and a run was forced home before Burlington got around to switching pitchers. Joe Freund dropped a pretty bunt along the first base line^to score another. An error by the catcher let King in with the fourth run. Four hits, four runs and McHenry led 8 to 4. The visitors threatened, after one man was out in the ninth, with a double and $ walk. Then followed an unusual double play that ended the gaime. The play went from pitcher to third to first. This was the third double play for McHenry in the game. • ALL STARS AB Whiting, ss ..4 Leone, cf 3 Phannenstill, cf 1 Smith, lb ..................4 L.

Inhabitants of Chartres are loath to 'beliefe that "any aviator deliberately would drop a bomb on the cathedral itself,, thus threatening the finest early Gothic spire in France, which adorns the southern side of the; main .facade," Or the finest late Gothic spire In France, which occupies its northern angle. Rut no direct hit would be necessary to destroy a treasure even greater than that of the body of the cathedral Itself, because' there Is" literally nothing like it anywhere else, with one minor exception, the Thirteenth century glass which Is the unique glory of the cathedral. (ilass Not Duplicated. Except for a few panes at Bourges, there is no Thirteenth century glass in France except the tremendous wealth .constituted by the 24 windows of Chartres, which still hold their old glass, whose beauty modern science has never been able to duplicate. The glass is priceless, literally, for there is no standard by which it can be com-. pared. ' It is (except for those fragments at Bourges) all there Is In the world. „ Experts estimate that an ordinary bomb exploding 750 meters from the Catliedral will shatter every one of ttiose irreplaceable windows. "rfve aviation jfield is only J,.">00 meters away. The 'chances that any intensive bombardment of the Mir liqltl will blow in the cathedral's windows are thus good. Alarmed by this prospect, the committee for the preservation of French art engaged Acliille Carlier. an expert, to work out a plan for the dismantling of the windows of Chartres and storing them safely away within an hour--- the time it would take a bombing plane --reported as it crossed th$ frontier-- to. reach Chartres. Precaution to Be Costly. •Cjarlier has worked out his plan, but It will cost $30,000. As all preparations must be made in advance and the French government is not likely to pay until the emergency has arrived, there Is the danger that the plan might fail. During the World war it was decided to take out and st<rre the windows of the cathedral. The work required five months. This time a delay Of five months--or even five days, or five hours--might prove disastrous.
