TEAM TO 1 TO 0 WIN x OVER HIS OLD MATES McHenry took the strong Algonquin nine into camp last Sunday on a 1 to 0 score. A reliable source tells me that a baseball game with a 1 to 0 score hasn't been played on the local diamond since 1906. Well, that record was broken last Sunday! McHenry scored the one and only run of the game in the fourth inning. This is how it happened. Bob Sehult* £f.£ Those doggone firecrackers are an- came UP an<l E°t to first on an error wBoyihg.

Bob Schultz got on and Joe Freund brought him in with a clean «hit to left center. --I-- Hopp and Joe formed a nifty battery. Both worked like champions. -- Joe snared a foul along the third base line for the final out bf the game -- and you should have seen him hug that ball. . The game was played ih^i'hour and 45 minutes, but had its anxious moments. For instance, a hard drive to left field that Richard Freund snared. It was ticketed! --B_ I The Waukegan Merchants will give McHenry plenty to think about in the local diamond on the afternoon of the Fourth. -- I ' V . ' Then eotnes the game! Johnsburg Will be here next Sunday. You can be sure of a packed house for that game. t --I-- Rivalry between the two teams is reaching a peak akin to the days of old. There were great battles in the PLAYGROUND NOTES will be a battle royal and a game noone will want to miss. Now here is another treat fans--on this coming Thursday, July 4th, we meet the well known Waukegan Merchants on the home field. These boys are undefeated in their bracket of the league and will give us plenty of competition. There you are fans, two big games on two big days. What more can you ask in the way of good entertainment over the holidays? Let's see a good turnout at these games, especially the game with Johnsburg. You all know how much fun it is getting revenge on your athletic foes and being there to enjoy it. Well that's x what we're going to do Sunday, so , e P™'-tennis team won a grand let's see you all down to cheer the!« match at Woodstock last CLARENCE ANDERSON, "ACE PITCHER ON SHELBY, N. C. TRAM LUCKY WIFE CLARENCE ANDERSON The above is a picture of Clarence Anderson, son of John Anderson of this city, in a follow-through action shot. Clarence signed with Milwaukee last year, but remained in McHenry to twirl for the local C. O. F. team. Early this spring, Clarence went down to the Goldsboro, North Carolina team in the Cast Plain League. Goldsboro then optioned him to Shelby in the Tar Hill League where he is now piling up an impressive record. With a recent no-hit, no-run game to his credit, Clarence rose to spot of "Ace" pitcher for his team. Due to a .320 batting average, the name of Anderson often appears in the role of pinch-hitter. What's more, he is now used in the outfield, when not scheduled to pitch, to utilize that power at the plate. His name also appears in the All-Star cast in the league. Nice going, Clarence! McHenry is pulling for you. All young or beginning tennis players who want to play in the tennis tourney Thursday morning,, be at the courts by 8:45. Choose your*own partner for this match.

"Oh, Henry, darling, where are you .going?" she cried. "Where I'll never trouble you again," he replied, as he started to open the door. "I'll find a place where wild adventure will wipe out the memories of this moment--perhaps in the jungle--or on the stormy seas--" As he spoke he opened the door, then closed it again and turned sternly to his wife.
