ATHLETICS ARE CITY CHAMPIONS JilB Fay ha* retrained to the University of Illinois Coaching School. Jim always was a hard -working athl «te «wi we wiah baa «uoces«iti ki» work." - "• Walt Prepnd's McHenry .A's defeated the Locals by a score of 2 to 0 Sunday afternoon : to win the city championship for 1982. Each team had won two games during the summer. 4 Th® contest was expected to be one of those hard fought never-say-die affairs that we have seen between the two teams in the past, but turned out to be a pitchers' battle of the highest order. Bach pitcher allowed three singles, Thurlwell giving up two harmless walks. ' Spots" was up against a tougji hombre in this Dieball, who struck out fourteen men and issued no passes, but a couple of costly errors ^gave the A's two unearned runs that meant the old ball game. Some of the skeptical fans raised their eyebrows and began to look for ^ things to happen after Dieball fanned J, | the first man to face him. It's supposed to be bad luck, but the dope went wrong. "Spots" forced the first man to face him to roll oat and then served notice on the A's that they were in for a tough afternoon by striking out the next two men to face him. He got). the first, hit of 'th* game himself in i Jay Cristy shared the duties of um- ! piring with Art Meyers Sunday. We | like to see Jay leaning over the : catcher with his eagle eye ready. Ha calls 'em fast and they stay called. Baseball writers' association votes like this. Forty-four favor Yanks, three favor Cubs, three hold their tongues. Remember last spring only three of those paid guessers picked the Cube to cop the pennant.. Here is a problem that caused some * argument on our local diamond not so long ago. Suppose an infielder throws • his glove at the ball, but does not 'hit it. Is the penalty still to be enforced? Answer: No, If the bail has not been interfered [mtiktthere is 'no penalty.-' ,' McHenry was • iWrigley Field well represented at Tuesday afternoon when the Cubs ended their hard- ^ fought quest for the National League •y-' pennant. It was a grand finish and the regulars well deserve the short rest that will be given, them before • -the big scrap with the Yanks., Nice catch by Bennett* in the sixth when he sprinted to right center to haul down a drive off the bat of Fred Johannes. Bennett leaped in the air to make the catch, fell down, but came up with the ball. Lost his cap and, when he bent to pick it up, many thought he was picking up the ball. B. & GRID TEAM TAKES F1 GAME TJUUJt SEASON SUNDAY The McHenry high school football season opened Saturday afternoon and the home boys showed enough to take Barrington into camp 12 to 0. Our young strappers pranced onto the field bedecked in neat new uni-' forms and possessed with a winning spirit jthat could not be denied- With a noiiy, enthusiastic crowd of wellwishers on the sidelines, there was no chance for that spirit to wane. Lockwood pulled a quarterback sneak in the first quarter to score the first touchdown of the year. Captain Howard crossed the line in the second half to make sure of victory. McHenry failed to score the points after touchdown, once when they tried to cross up the opposition with a line smash and the other time when the kick was blocked. Barrington was noix>dy's setup and had enohgh scrap left in them to threaten in the, last quarter with a mixed attack, only to fumble on the 20-yard line. Leander Lay wAs OQt of the gam# with an injured knee, but will be in the lineup next week when the Pox Lake eleven visits McHenry. Vernon Kramer has not returned to We hear that Sib Whiting has regained the batting eye that made him a consistent and dangerous hitter for many seasons. He ran into a slump with the A's this season and decided : to turn his job oyer to somebody el3e. <Sib is playing lots of third base for the Johnsburg old-timers these days. Dieball set the Locals down in order on strike-outs in the fifth. Whiffed " the last two batters in the sixth and three in succession in the seventh. jStruck out every man in the lineup lat least once. If you like statistics, 'the records show that he has issued rjust two passes in eight games. Effective pitching. izu. Box seats, $6.60; grandstand, $5.50, ' v«jfor the coming world series. Looks Hike a lot of us will have the old ra- : «dios tuned in. Not so many years . ago the sports of the town were crowding Martin Smith's pool room on the west side and Emil -Geier's --on the east side to get the results. The score would be telegraphed every inning or two and posted on a -blackboard. A changing world. Now . if somebody will work on this tele- " » vision business! , This fellow, Dieball, pitching for : jMcHenry's A's, strikes us as just about the coolest piece of machinery '. . one could witness on the mound- Never saw him make a quick move, but--Quite a pitcher! Just throws the second inning, went to second on a passed ball, hot his sa&tes couid not bring him home. The A's threatened in the third after two were down, but nothing happened. Harold Freund slipped a sharp liner past third and moved up when Brodman drew a1 pass. There was a bit of tension with the hardhitting Johannes brothers coming up, but "Spots" took care of the situation by forcing Ivan to hit! a high fly to the second baseman. Brother Fred opened the fourth with a hard smash that Stoffel could not come up with and then things began to happen. Joe Freund sent Johannes to second with a sacrifice. Bennett dropped Frett's fly in right field and Johannes scored. Frett stole second. Whiting missed a third strike and tore for first when Schroeder dropped the ball. Kirk pegged him out at first and Frett went to third on the play. Frett then scored the second and last run of the game on a passed balL "Spots" then took things in his own hands and was never in danger. The Locals threatened in the sixth when Stoffel was safe on Brodman's fumble. Thorsell tapped to the pitcher who couldn't pick tfo the ball and both men were safe. This looked like the place for a bunt, but with the infield drawn in Phannenstill tried to whack one past them only to be set down on strikes. Thorsell roamed too far off first and was picked off on a snap throw by Joe Jfaeumd. A. JAnderson then struck out to end the inning. Britz batted for Gus Freund in the seventh and walked on four pitched balls. He was nipped trying to steal second and the A's last threat was over. The fane who were starting home, after two were out in the ninth, hustled back looking for excitement when Harold Freund threw too high to get Anderson at first. The show was over when Smith went down swinging. It was a good ball game and a tough one for either pitcher to lose. The two teams have given the fans i plenty of excitement tn the past few months and deserve much credit fori their efforts. The box score folioTOU ATHLETICS-- H. Freund, ss 4 Brodman, 2b S I.

There is nx> great abundance of reserve material and It is hoped that injuries and ineligibility will strike no more blows. We want to see everyone of these young athletes continue their fine work in this he-man's game and hope they will take care of that eligibility angle by tackling that geometry, English history, etc., with the same pep that took care of Barrington last Saturday. McHenry's second team was beaten 6 to 0. They were outweighed, but not outfought- A long pass in the first half beat them. The first team lineup was as follows: George Kinsala, £<E; Paul Walkington, LT; Ralph Bouril, LG; Guy Duker, C; Bruce Granger, RG; Milton Brefeld, RT; Cecil Rager, RE: Lloyd Lockwood, QB; Adelbert Whiting, LH; William Bacon, RH; Ray Howard, FB; Bob Frisby, Marvin Meyers, Arnold May and Chet Howard were in at the finish. < Don't forget the game with Fox Lake on the local field next Saturday, Sept. 24, at 2:30 o'clock. The McHenry Shamrocks brought their first season as an organised team to a close last Sunday afternoon. They lost a double header, but both games wtere lost by close margins. The Shamrocks lost a five-inning game to Spring Grove 5-4. Manager Wolck was on the mound for the Shamrocks and pitched a great game. He struck out nine men and gave but three scattered hits. Errors paved the way for *H the runs. The second game was one of those old-fashioned slugfests with Wally Smith, Red Winkel and Sib Whiting leading the attack. Joe Frett started pitching for Johnsburg and seemed to be in great form, for in seven innings the Shamrocks scored but one run off his delivery. Frank Freund took ov<r the mound work after Joe retired and was rather ineffective. Maybe the strong wind dried the ball before it got to the battfer. Although the Shamrocks lost thirteen out of twenty-two games, thev were only defeated by more than three runs, twice during the entire season.. They ^ lost four games by a one-run margin, four by a two-run margin and three by a three-run margin, By ^Northwester^ University has again invited the Scouts of our Council to attend their opening football game, Oct. 1, which will be played against Missouri.

TJie safes are being built by the Bank of England and are costing $2,- 500,000. The language of the conservative official reports describes them as "artillery proof," The safes will probably be finished in three years. They consist of three sections,* one of which is already finished and another under way. The strong room rests on a three-foot bed of concrete, reinforced with hardened steel rods. Over this a layer of welded steel is spread. Fr6m this the sides and ends are carried up to form a gigantic box into which the safes and vaults are built The only approach Is from above, for no amount of tunneling and blasting would grant an entrance below. Hie entrance to the vaults themselves Is guarded by a great safe door weighing 25 tons and having a combination code. The combination Is divided, and no one person knows the whole of it.

With the passing of horses. Fowler declares, he was forced to adapt his shop for modern day needs. He now operates a welding establishment, but In one corner he has an anvil, forge, and steel vise stored, which, he says, "are to remind him of olden days." Fowler came to Michigan 60 years ago and began the blacksmith trade when eighteen years old in a shack which was situated on what Is now the cite of the Ingham county Jail here. At that time, he said, there were seven other blacksmiths In Mason. j'C'"- Foreclosure Was Only Long Word to Eliza Fort Worth, Texas.--Those big words "mawgage fo'-elosb-ah" didn't mean a thing to Eliza Anderson, onehundred- and-two-year-old negress. When police ejected her from her home after the foreclosure, Silica moved right back in, catching the new tenant, Suella Jackson, out. A second removal was too much for Eliza. She bombarded the hotise with rocks. Suella abdicated amid a shower of window panes. And to add to Eliza's misery police charged her with "malicious mischief." Explosion of a gasoline stove in the E. W. Benzo cottage at Towers Lake last Sunday morning produced su.-h a terrific concussion that the kitchen walls were blown outward as the corner seams gave away. Mrs. Benzo. who was standing several feet away from the stove in a small hallway, 'received second degree burns about her face and arms that were treated by a physician in the emergency hospital in Wauconda. Her husband was just coming down from the cottage attic when the explosion occurred and he sustained minor burns on his bac^t. Occupants of the place were unable to account for the accident as the gas stove had burned about an hour prior to the explosion.
