Boiger's nephews play on the team, including the twin battery. We mjght it was a gag, btJt they say the boys' name is spelled Highland. Does that sound right to you ? Or do they jost call their team the Highlanders? The St. Louis Cardinals had too many good, young pitchers and had one hade of a time deciding which ones to let go. Now, we see they let Gornicki and Grodzicki out. Don't tell us there's nothing in a name. A complete box score is not available this week so we will just tell.you that McHenry lost a ball gams at Algonquin last Sunday, 5 to 1. --a Clarence Anderson and Hopp hooked up in a mpund dud.

PINGRY CUBS 24 - 0 Johnsburg Indians won their first game in three starts last Sunday by trimming the Pingry Cubs 24-0. "Si" Meyers hit two home runs to help the Indians along in the fourth and sixth innings, Joe Jackson was on the mound for the Indians allowing only four hits while striking out twelve. Next Sunday the Indians will play Spring Grova on the John|huig diamond. v" *?fv~ r ..I: -- 81 • m' JFor eight innings it appeared as though Lefty Pressgrove and his Wayne teammates were on their way to a victory over the Shamrocks when the local lads cut loose with three runs in the ninth for a 7 - 6 victory. The Kane county team held a 6 - 4 advantage when the Shamrocks came up for their last turn at bat. The waning hopes of the home fans were revived somewhat as Tom Bolger drew a base on balls to open the last of the ninth. He then scored on a doubhs by Jim Larkin who later scored the tying run on Harry Dowell's hit. The Shamrock's shortstop then stole second and third and when the ball evaded the third baseman he raced home with the winning run. Jim Larkin struck oat twelve batters but was hit rather hard in spots which, coupled with some shaky sapport, almost proved fatal. Jim also shook off his batting slump by driving out four hits. Jerry Larkin rapped out two safe blows while Johnson and Stettner collected a lika number for the visitors. f.

PLAYGROUND PROGRAM FURNISHES VARIETY OF SPORTS FOR ALL GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts met in'Miss Bauer's room on Monday, May 19, at 3:46. Attendance was cheeked and final plans for the close of the year were made. First, Miss Bauer told about the Girl Scout Roundup which was held at the IBelvidere Park Shelter House on Saturday. This meeting was in charge of Miss Edwin Loop, Lone Troop Consultant for this region. We were especially interested to hear more about Camping facilities. A staff member from Rockford told about the various camps. Elgin is opening a camp for the first time this year. There also are camps at Rockford, Peoria and Dixon. At the Roundup there also was a display of handicraft made by various Girl Scouts. New publications were also discussed. After our discussion of Camping, we went into the gym to practice for the Memorial Day parade. Details of this will be given next week. Now we were ready to go outside to play various games. First we played an alphabetical Nature game. We tried to think of something that we could see beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Betty Kramer's patrol was the first patrol to do this. We were very amused when the various patrols read their lists. Some of them were quite clever. Since we had a little time left, we spent the remainder of the time playing baseball. Jean Nickels and Elida Page chose sides. Elida's side won. Some of us are improving very much and are getting to be very good players under the coaching of Miss Larkin. We closed our meeting by making a wishing ring. We did this by all holding hands and crossing our left hand over the right. Then Miss Bauer made a wish and pressed the hand of the Scout next to her. This Scout then also made a wish -and pressed the hand of the Scout next to her. This was repeated all around the circle until it returned to Miss Bauer. Then we said "Good Night." Wish you luck!
