Monday, Jvfy 06, 1M» OQf'Wv". "f%i by EARL R. WALSH Dear Earl: I guess ifs about) time I write a few lines to let you know that I am still very much interested in all of the sports activities that go on in and around McHenry which are •o well published in the gbod old Plaindealer. I take special interest in the baseball columns. It seems as though if once a person has play- «d with and assist all those teams around there it kind of makes you feel at home when you read all those little articles. It seems as though most of the players that used to form those teams are now in the service. But nevertheless they do seem to have that same old punch (especially the Johnsburg Tigers). Maybe by next year some of the old timers will be back in the old groove again and kind of show some of the new boys how it's done. J Well, Earl, l^syre glad we don't have the kind of wether back home that we have here or I'm afraid baseball would have to played in a different fashion; say like with row boats. It seems as if it can rain out of a clear sky at will. About all a perron has to do to take a bath is to step right out of the tent. And don't think that it isnt done. It's about the first thing we do when it starts to rain.

A handsome corporal walked into one of Macomb's so-called "army" stores and picked out a $5 pair of socks. He gave the young thing behind the counter a $10 bill. __ "Oh, thank you," she cooed, with a shy flutter of the eyelids, making no attempt to give him any change. The corporal reached out and gently grasped the fair one's wrist. "And what do you think this is?" he demanded. "Oh you funny boy," she tittered, "that's my wrist. What did you think it was?" "Well," said the corporal, "I thought it might be your ankle. Everything's so high around here." j" ; --Camp Ellis News. Sir, I "want to report a terrible mistake on the firing range, today.

Refrigerator Care Whether ypur refrigerator is old or new it needs care to give its best. Keep the* coils" frfe from dirt.

Clean the coils with a long handled brush (be sure to tiirn off the motor if it is an electric ° refrigerator). | Avoid frequent door openings. Remove several articles at a time and when they are to be replaced in the refrigerator, assemble them on a convenient table so that they may all go into the refrigerator as quickly as possible. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator with food as the necessary circulation will be stopped. Hot foods should be cool before they are stored. Do not store items that do not need special refrigeration but leave more room for such things as milk that do.

Any record can be beaten, but this will be a tough one to crack. There are two other almost flirantlsnflWins Phantom targets that may 'never be surpassed. One is Lou Gehrig's consecutive game record that carried on for a matter of 14 years and more than 2,000 contests. It will take a stronger combination of steel and concrete than we have ever seen so far in one human system to pass Lou Gehrig's mark. This must stand among the incredible features of sport. Lou began his, long march in 1925 and finally came to the end of his career in 1939. The second untouchable mark belongs to Babe Ruth and his count of 00 home runs, piled up in 1927. There Is another pretty Fair bah player by the name of Tyrus Raymond Cobb who has to his credit a different set of figures that no one. now living will ever see equaled.

This same record also includes 892 6tolen bases, well beyond Eddie Collins' turn of 7A. Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig, all American Leaguers, complete the trio that offers the toughest targets on the batting side of the game. And when you mention the two greatest ball players of all time, Cobb and Ruth draw most of the votesalthough Hans Wagner still has a stout following that refuses to be shaken loose. Mel Ott is the most redoubtable of the National League record holders at bat--and Mel is still underway and increasing his lead. Mel sets a record of some sort every time he gets another hit or steps into another home run--insofar as the National League is concerned. Stand-Out Pitchers Walter Johnson, anothi# AwwrtCin Leaguer, is the pitcher that stands out as the main all-time target to knock over. But for all that even Old Barney isn't so far in front of Cy Young. In fact, looking a trifle deeper into the matter, Young's mark may outlive all others. It consists Jargely of these figures-games , Wagner's low drive went into the pitched--906, games won--510. When j weeds for a hoTne Murphy you figure that Walter Johnson is in second place, 97 winning games away at 413, you get a better idea of Cy's miraculous contribution to the art of piling up victories.
