WOODSTOCK ALEMITE NINE BEATS LOCAL TEAM BY 6 3 SCORE McHenry's ball team failed to lay enough wood on the ball Jast Sunday as the Woodstock nine dished out a 6'to 3 defeat to the home boys. JRapp, on the hill for the winners, dished out enough wide curves in the first six innings to pile up ten strikeouts, but the boys started waiting him out in the seventh and drew three walks. Lange came in to the rescue with the bases loaded and stopped the McHenry uprising in its tracks. Clarence Anderson gave up ten hits, tat was stingy with walks, handing out only two free trips. Manager Althoff will take his team down to Algonquin next Sunday where they will probably face a former teammate, pitcher Hopp. 2nd WNOlNa 1 JOHH8BU&G TEAM 7 -1 The Shamrocks won their second ^ame of the season Sunday by trouncing the Johnsburg Indians 7-1. The Johnsburg boys have always been somewhat of a "jinx" for big Jim Larkin but this time the tables were turned as he set the Indians down with only two hits. The only run scored oft him was an meamed run in the ninth. Jim was iu trouble only once. This was in the seventh inning when a nice bit of fielding by his brother, Jerry, retired the side with two men on. Joe Jackson was on the? mound for Johnsburg. He struck out five and gave up eight hits. Harry Dowell, Jim Larkin and Tom Bolger each had two hits for the Shamrocks.

JOHNSBURG LOSES WILD BALL-GAME TO RICHMOND, 14.IS Johnsburg lost a wild and wooly baseball game to Richmond last Sunday by a score of 14 to 13. Adding machine totals show further that each team scattered thirteen hits over the premises. A new pitcher, "Bud" Kelter, made his first appearance on the mound for Johnsburg, sharing the twirling with the veteran Bill Kreutzer. The boys seem to think that Kelter has something on the ball and may be heard from later. Hebron will appear on the Johnsburg diamond next Sunday in a game that promises to bring out A <<$uck tighter brand of baseball. Excerpt from the . Daily States!.. .

For a while it appeared as if everything was in readiness except the weather. Luck was with us, however, for when we started on our hike to Johnson's, it stopped raining and the sun was shining. When we arrived the fifebuilders, Betty Kramer, Joan Durland, Shirley Patzke and Agnes Miller immediately got busy and before long the juicy steaks were sizzling over the fire. Some of us, who like onions, sliced them on the steaks while they were frying. We were very glad to have Bonnie Page with vs to help with the frying of the steaks'. Meanwhile, Jean Thomie's patrol from McCullom Lake was preparing the other food. Her girls fixed a plate for each of us consisting of a tan, potato chips and pickles. Now we were ready to eat the delicious steak sandwiches. We sat around on the grass and visited while we ate. For a drink we had chocolate milk, and our dessert was Girl Scout Delights. You make these by placing one-half of a chocolate bar between two graham cracker*. Ttien you roast a marshmallow and place that in the center. These Girl Scout Delights are very delicious. Afttr thanking the hostesses for the., enjoyable afternoon and cleaning up a bit, it was time to go home. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson for the use of their outdoor fireplace. We are happy to beer that Virginia Stratton, our Scribe, is feeling better after her recent illness. She wishes to thank all th Scouts for the basket of fruit. Since she still is in the bos* pita], hearing from any of us would be greatly appreciated. Remember we will have ft regular meeting on Monday. LOIS FREDRICKS, Assistant Scribe. • ' a . ?
