The gentleman says we are perhaps ed into .a satchel and taken to the Jtank--necessary payments were made by check. What was left was reck* oned as profit. When urged to changa this system he said--"It isn't system the fans want--It's pood ball games-- I never saw a popular auditor yet!" He once said .when commenting on his friends -- "You can do wonders We!when you have everybody with you." Maybe that's what the Cubs need! Yours, n . Dear S.B.

'..That--dear readers, is only one of torturous bits of devilment in the life of a defenseless country boy trying to write a weekly column. , ^ '. . . > Last week we saw Hebron in action le the regional tournament at Crystal •Lake. Most readers know by this time that Hebron copped the crown by beating both Elgin and Dundee. The sports world is marveling at feat or call it feats if you want - When a little school witti just shade over 90 enrollment can set those larger institutions back on their heels, it's just short of a miracle. --I-- Anyhow, it sort of gives us a better understanding of how the Finns can take the' Hooshuns," --!• McHenry fans have takett ft *Teat fancy to this Hebron team. Now, that our own boys are out of tournament competition, the town has adopted Hebron's prides and joys. --fl-- Hebron's new coach was called home because of the death of one of Lib family. He was unable to be with his boys in that final thriller so the boys had their old Coach, Crane, on the bench. --I-- There's calmness in low gear for you if ever we saw it! While other coaches tear their hair out, this man Crane sits down, folds his arms and patiently awaits results with dignity befitting the pulpit. --I-- The J. Bolgers and the S. I. H.'s owe a flock of thank yous to Coach Weed for getting us in to see that Hebron- Elgin game Friday night. Why! You couldn't get in the school at 6:30. Hundreds milled about the outside. But, Reed found another door! He acted as quarterback, calling an endaround play when the defense was bunched for a line plunge. We shot through an opening (side-door). --I-- If you haven't heard George Bohr tall about going to the circus, when he was a young fellow, fan "ain't heard nuthin' yet." --1-- The McHenry Foresters have been stinging all winter over those baseball drubbings the Johnsburg boys gave them last summer. But, last Sunday they turned the tables in basketball. Now., tile locals feel fine. Better be careful, boys--that baseball season is just around the corner again. --I-- Dear "So I Hear": One of the staunchest Cab rooters 1 know of is the recipient of a book entitled, "Commy," the Life Story of the Grand. Old Roman of Baseball as told by G. W. Axelson--date of publication 1919. Of course you understand my lack of interest in the White Sox but my insatiable interest in the printed page anH baseball overwhelmed this and I learned (according to the book) that these White Sox are wonderful! i "Commy" scorned precedent--it is claimed that he was responsible for prying the first baseman loose from for me to remember. In fact, words from your own lips squelched me as a "mere infant" in that year 1919. That was about the time my pony and cart attracted some attention from the cutest little tricks! You must remember. Wasn't that the year you graduated from high school? But, to get back to your letter. Did you have to read the book to learn that the White Sox are wonderful? Haven't you read S. I. H.? They must have fenced in the coaching box in those days. Chalk marks of the present day don't seem to stop Dykes. : ' Your referencestothose errors credited to "Buck" Weaver distresses me no little. Why! If Weaver didn't throw 'em out by ten feet in those days, they thought he was slipping gave him an error. Another thing -- And you probably won't believe it! Weaver played the whole left side of the infield alone for a month. Once in a while the poor guy would get tired and let a bouncer sift thrdugh. We are surprised that you that the Cubs need anything. Yours, S. I. H. --I-- ... The 29th of February got by and we haven't heard of the local girls throwing a single hoop around a male neck. --I-- We do know that Marie Powers popped the question to Billy Pries, but he ran like a scared rabbit. What's more -- he didn't follow tradition by buying Marie a new dress--or even a box of candy. I We have talked to some of the girls and find that they are put out because we didn't help them along by publish, ing a list of eligible bachelors. They tell us that other newspapers in small t Gv. i.s Lu-opei ate. vvhai s more--they say the year is still young. --I-- Well, here goes, girls! You asked for it--and let it not be said tht S. I. H. refused to help. Shall we list a few? --1-- Here They ,Are: Bill Quinn must get awfully tired of tlibse four walls. Seth Richardson has a nice car and Morris Schreiner could furnish the gas. (It's a coupe, but you don't mind, do you girls?) Now, now girls! Don't be too sure that Eddie Matthews is on the loose. He's at least, bottled up--if not capped. Did you say Steflfes, girts ? Oh yes! The bowling alley man. We have no recent information. Go get him! No. We aren't forgetting Little Glenny. Don't rush, girls. The boy is bashful--and very young. So you like Vernie Harrison's wavy hair, eh? (If you can out-talk that bird, you're a go-getter.) LeRoy Conway Wait a minute! Yeah--we know about Melvin Whiting, but he's sunk or scuttled or somethin'. So you think we forgot Tom Bolger, eh? (Tom says it's a mistake about married men living longer than unmarried men--it just seems longer.) Elbert iBuch says when he gets married he's going to make the laws in the household. (That's all right, Al, but look out for the amendments.) Harry Frye? Oh, no, girls! (Spoken for, but needs speaking to. He just laughs and laughs at some of the rest of us. Thinks a man should run things. A man does--the lawn-mower, for instance.) Did we miss Leo Heimer? (Not up on latest dope. You girls will have to do some of this work, you know.) Omigosh! How could we forget Coach Reed?" Felix UntiK (We aren't so sure.) Oh--there m\st be a long list available. We can't think of them all so suddenely.

Comiskey once managed the Cincinnati Reds -- with reluctance, it might be added and his success in the National League was mediocre. The 1903 Cubs-Sox city series lasted fourteen games--a draw--the Sox insisted on playing the fifteenth, but Frank Seele, then manager of the Cobs--shall I say, "demurred"? 1904 marked the appearance of "Iron Man" Walsh--Comiskey in criticising Walsh's posing and acrobatics in pitching once told him "When a man on first is trying to steal, while you are pitching, the catcher must throw the ball to third base instead of second." But, why?" innocently asked Walsh. "Because when you get through your windup the runner ought to be sliding into that bag!" In 1912 Ray Schalk cost them $18,000.00. The same year Buck Weaver was brought in from the coast where he had set a record of 70 errors in 132 games, while playing the infield!

BOY SCOUTS The Scout meeting of Monday, March 4. came io order with the salut# and pledge of allegiance to the flag. The Scouts present were reminded of the coming Board of Review of March 18. Every boy is expected to have earned an advancement in rank, or his share of merit badges. Achievments at the next two Boards of Review will have an especial significance; only those fellows who do "come through" with some advancement will be eligible for the next trip to the Huntley Scout Cabin. Another trip to this place for an overnight camp has been scheduled for late in April. This trip will be too good to miss, Scouts, so don't forget the merit badge section of the handbook. You know what fun we had last time! A long period of patrol meetings and general Scout work was held. "Classes" for instruction along one subject were the order of the day, and many problems were straightened out. A number of songs, including "Johnnie Verbeck," '^Clementine," "There's a Long, Long, Trail A-Winding" and others were eung. Bruce Granger conducted a few games, among them "Crows and Cranes" and d u r i ng first ten years in Chicago heja circle game.
