SHAMROCKS CONTINUE WINNING STREAK WITH VICTORY O'ER MARENGO Although Jim Larkin's streak of scoreless innings was broken at 23 when the Marengo team scored atrun in the third, he managed to pitch the Shamrocks to a 10-2 victory over Marengo Sunday. Larkin was a bit wild at times but struck out thirteen and gave up only five hits. Tom Bolger and Larry Stilling batting one, two, in the Shamrocks'* lineup, scored six of the teams' runs.

These tournaments were started last year when the Lions club offered to give two trophies to the winners of both a men and women division. Last year the men's championship was won by Vernon Freund and the Women's by Adele Froehlich. Both of last year's winners will be defending their championships this year and from all the talk one hears around the tennis courts they will soon be ex-champions, but both Vernon and Adele are capable of putting up a strong defense of their trophies. A player must win the trophy three yeacs to become the perininent own- Any player whose home is in the McHenry High School district is eligibile to enter the tournament. No entry fees are required so all the tennis players of the district are urged to enter. Entries for either tournament must be turned in to "Mac" by Friday. July 26.

FARMERS RECEIVE PARITY PAYMENTS Price adjustment, or parity payments, which supplement the agricultural conservation payments were made to McHenry county farmers amounting to a total of S140,317.98 under the 1939 AAA farm program. Parity payments were made to Illinois county farmers on corn, and When a submarine is ready to re lease a torpedo to sink an enemy ship, the death-bearing projectile is not aimed directly at the ship, as ia commonly believed, but is aimed as much as a half-mile ahead of the ship. It often takes the torpedo as long as two minutes to reach its mark, and the ship may have traveled forward a half-mile or more in that time. The distance and speed of the ship must be calculated before the torpedo is released. The rudders are set to guide the torpedo, and a gyroscope keeps it on its course after release. They are sometimes discharged two or three miles from the intended target, but a halfmile is more certain. Ships zigzag to confuse submarines. A torpedo costs around $10,000 to $15,000, and is about 20 feet long. (Public Ledger--WNU S*rvic«.)
