If that holds true jwith MeHemy's Scouts, we should be I extremely happy during this month, I for we have a very full program, j First of all, of course, we must work | for advancement and for Merit j Badges. That in itself is enough <o I keep occupied, but there is much more to do. Saturday, October 7, we will attend the Northwestern - Oklahoma State Football game in Evanston. Take notice, Scouts! We will leave the Grade school at 12:15 sharp, audi be sure to bring your Scout card, for that is your admission ticket. After school Monday, October 9, the Troop will have another hike at Hunter*? woods, in place of the regular meet ing. Here is another fine chance, you Tcr.J.erfoot Scouts and Sccond Class i Scouts, to pass some of those tests, j i Friday night, October 13, we will goj lover to Hebron to the Divisional| j Rally and Court of Honor. This should j i be one of the best Scout events of the ' ytav, and we should all turn out f'» help make it so. There will be many! interesting Scout demonstrations such 1 as knot tying, signaling, First Aid« work, fire building, etc. Then there is another Board of Review coming ap, and several events at Which Mr. Schoenholtz merely hhitedl There are great possibilities! - * The meeting of October 2, opened with the salute td the Colors, after which the above anhonucements were made. Then a period of Scout instruction was held. We sang a numher of songs to the' accompaniment of Glenn Peterson, Sr., with the piano. Mr. Ensign conducted several games, including a compass game, a ene-leg 'race, and a tug-of-war. Bugler Weideman played Taps to bring j the meeting to a close.

Ed has been up with Washington in the American League since he performed in these parts.

The first half was mixed with fumbles and mistakes. Young players on both sides were getting their fwst taste under fire. The going was slippery and it.took some time for the boys to get off to a start. It was in the third quarter that big "Red" Gausden sailed a long pass down the sideline to Schultz on a sleeper play. That pass was good for thirty-eight yards and a touchdown. A short pass over the line accounted for the extra point. Schultz scored again in the fourth quarter as he started through the right side of his own line on what looked like a buck for a few yards But, Schultz kept those big legs weaving and raced for six points. The pass for r»oint failed this time. Cos«>h his boys definitely showed McHenry fans that they have a team this year that will put up an interesting brand of football. The boys have a little more size than in recent years. The following lineup started for McHenry: E. Blake . Becker Gerlach ... Stilling ... F. Schmitt Rado Meyer left end ...... left tackle left guard centei" .... right guard ...'. right tackle „;.A.M.... right endl R.

WORLD SERIES OF 1M5 ^ As the 1939 world series approaches sports writers are digging up stories of famous baseball classics of former years, and the feat of Chriisty Mathewson, who pitched three * hut-out games in the series of 1905, is recalled. This was t(ie first world series in which the New York Giants of the National League participated, and the second played by teams of the present major leagufes. The first was played in 1903, and won by the Boston Americans over the Pittsburgh Nationals. The Giants won the National League pennant in 1904, but Manager John McGraw refused to play the Boston Americans for the world championship that year. v In 1905, however, McGraw consented to pl&y Connie Mackte Philadelphia Athletics," and sent Mathewson to the mound for the first game, which he won, 3 to 0. Hie Athletics won the second game, and Mathewson was called to pitch the third, winning 9 Justin Bowers, former Spring Grove to 0. New York also won the fourth husky, will be in the line next Saturday for the Oklahoma Sopners in the battle with Northwester^ at Eyanston. Justin is the big fellow whom we wrote about a year ago. Alex Justen got the dope for us at that time. Now, the big tackle will against two of his former team of Waukegan Township High Nick Conteas and Iggy Mesec. We hear that Junior Freund, Harry Unti and Gordon Schmitt, high school football managers* are doing a nice job. --I-- "Prof." Nye has gone to Washingion, D. C-, to straighten out this embargop roblem. You can expect mom anything now -- "Senator" Nye. • • --I-- McHenry is bowling crazy. Both alleys are crowded to capacity. It looks like a big season and we are asking team captains right now to be prompt in completing score sheets. W« game of the series. Mathewson pitched and won the fifth and final game, 2 to 0. In the three games Mathewson allowed a total of only fourteen hits, walked one, struck out thirteen haters, and held the Athletics scoreless. There was nothing phenomenal about lliis performance so far as any j Mcnenry individual game was concerned, but johnsburg to win three games of a world series without allowing a run was something McHINBY "PICKUPS" j LOSE TO TIGERS Of JOHNSBURG IITO 4 ^They did it again! The Tigers of j Johnsburg routed the McHenry "Pickups" last Sunday 14 to 4. | Bill „ Kreutzer hurled his usual j steady game for the winners. While j Bill was more generous than usual j with passes--handing out eight--he | enjoyed nifty support. What's more, he again used his strikeout ball to the' best advantage. Bill had just six j strikeouts in the game, but this is how j he placed them. He got the third out i in five straight inning?, the fourth | through the eighth, by uf*e)of the whiff ball. , W | Clarence Anderson started the game | showing the best mixture of stuff he has shown all year. The first three men tapped to the mound. He then got by Wblly Smith and Teddy Pitzen, a couple of nower bovs. before thing? began to happen in the second inning. An error started the fireworks and another one kept them going. More errors followed before the game ended, but that's a sad story, so let's be on our way with some sidelights on the game. Harry Freund Get* 5 for 5 Johnsburg's peppery, hard-working catcher, Harry Freund, had a perfect day at the plate with-five hits in as many trips. Another fellow who was poison to McHenry was pitcher-hitter Kreutzer. Two triples and a single are enough for any pitcher to contribute. > Bud Meyers put the real finishing touches on the game in the sixth with H four-run homer. Twas a mighty iwallop. • Ralph Bennett might have found Solace for a bad day afield had hi^ liard drive in the third been directed a few feet to either side of Teddy Pitzen. Benny Brits drew three walks in five trips to the plate. Melvin Whiting, star of another day. played the last three timings ln,Centerfield for McHenry. Melvin got n hit, a walk, flied out and made a perfect peg to third base to nail a runner. Better sign him up! Hank Britz roamed into a com patch in deep right to pull down a potential homer off Teddy Pitzen's bat. -- But, Pitzen pulled the biggest robbery out of the day when he charg ed in to pick Glenn Anderson's blooper off the grass in the second. It stopped a McHenry scoring mood. McHenry's catcher, Louis, again showed that be lays plenty of wood on the ball. ;' r McHenry Bennett, ss - zB A. Anderson, 3b .. V. Freund, 3b G. Larkin, If J.
