•Pi!** ««a<S-.- Y> mm by EARL R. WALSH Those Schaefer Girls (known u the Roes) have ran up » record of ten straight wins in match games and have moat of the men teams just a bit cautious about signing up for a match. Cant tell us that the girls haven't bowled much better since they got classy new uniforms. Kindly refer to iFloyd Coleman, owner and operator of a first class thirst-quenching emporium on The Drive, as a "Mix-ologist." . Mor^ and bigger street lights being installed in McHenry are fine --but, doesn't anybody ever give consideration to the spooners? Roy Salzberg, well-remembered Eiteher brought to town by Larry [uck in the days of the Dick Walsh teams, visited McHenry the past week-end. Roy says he pitched a no-hit, no-run game for McHenry, bowled a 300 game a^d know trying for a hole-in-one. This score is blurred on the sheet, but witnesses tell us that "The African Druggist" started with a rousing 94 in the city league at the Palace, then got on the beam to break a hundred in his third game. He's the "handicap" that wanted to bowl in the ladies league! You will find MCHS baseball and golf schedules on this page, but a later bulletin from "Mac" tells us that Wauconda will play ball here Friday afternoon, about 4 o'clock on the high school diamond. "Don't waste your breath," the prospect interrupted the enthusiastic demonstrator. "I got a carpetsweeper already." "Good!" said the salesman, undismayed. "Then I can make you a generous allowance on your sweeper in part payment on this fine new model." For the moment the prospect seemed tempted. Then slowly he shook his head. "No," he said absolutely. "No, I can't make that kind of deal.. After all, I took her for better or worse." • THUr FOR SAL&H One Ford car with piston rings; Two rar wheels, slat no springs.

ROLL tJP 2425 SERIES TO BEAT BUTCHERETTES The "Plaindealer Newsboys" led by Don "Petie" Schaefer's 564 series I rolled up a total of 2426 pins (way over their head), last Sunday after- Inoon at the Palace. I Gert's Butcherettes, (the favorites jin the match) were on the short ! side with 2280, but had high game of 868. The experts explain the ("Newsboys" winning streak of two ;in a row by saying it is a phenomena which most probably will never - happen again in the history Of bowling. The girls explain it by saying they figured the boys a pushover and never started until it was , too late. Whichever explanation is correct no one knows. As for the "Newsboys," they're more surprised than anyone, 'cause everybody knows as bowlers the "Reporters" would make good fishermen. Other scores are as follows: Geo. M. Freund, 612; "Chic" Rogers, 514; Adams, 445; Smith, 400. Marion Donnelly led the girls with 518 and Gert Barbian was right behind with 508; M. Miller, 426; J. Kralowetz, 446; and Minnie Green with 888. ANAGER Eddie Dyer of the 1 J Cardinals has about all the pitchers two teams could use. Your guess would be that Eddie has noticing to worry about. But the first section of any manager's job is to worry about something. Two of Manager Dyer's worries now are •Johnny Grodzicki and George Munger.

Then Milt bent over to fill a basket with tasty food for his little pals. Wham! There was a tough old ram mixed in with the sheep!! The grapevine tells us that Milt visited a clinic, complaining of a paih in his side, but failng to tell the doctors of his mishap with the ram.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL., April 2^ Stricter regulations governing shooting _ of ducks and geese appear to be in store for Illinois hunters this fall. Director Livinston E. Osborne of the state conservation department forecast new curbs yesterday "unless unexpected bumper crops of young ducks and geese are producd in the next few months." The reason for the gloomy waterfowl hunting outlook, Osborne said, are depleted duck and goose populations as evidenced by diminished flights migrating through the state the past two years and an expected increase in the numbers of hunters, f Illinois wildlife technicians have ! estimated the 1945 ratio of young to 1 adult ducks represented a 50 per ! cent drop from the average fpr the preceding five years. The lowered ! ration has been caused by the low | reproduction rate of the last few | years, they reported. / The duck supply is further threatened by weather conditions in" the Canadian prairie provinces which have caused a general water shortnel right leg. George -Munger, passing {he officer's school test in the Pacific area, has made such a fine record the army doesn't want to let him go. The main point of this yani is that Dyer believes both men could have been two of the best pitchers in ( baseball. j "When I had Grodzicki at Colum- • bus in 1941," Dyer srfys, "I thought j he was the best- minor league pitch- , er I ever saw. Six-feet-one, 185 pounds, he had what you might call i everything. That season Johnny won ' 19 games and lost 5 when his record might just as well have been ' 22 wins and 2 defeats. In addition to I a fine arm he had both head and j heart, but an uncertain right leg ; due to a shrapnel wound which has I been healing slowly. But he is still j undiscouraged. In shape Johnny >1. might easily have been a 25 or 28- jE. Peisert, game winner. 428, "George Munger, in my book, i^j one too LATE T6 CLASSIFY Want Ads on Page Six HELP WANTED . New .

In his last season with the f®? 17£„478; E" Fr*und« Only „ conditions can provide favorable circumstances for the needed bumper crop of wild ducks, Osborne declared. Surveys by wildlife technicians have shown that the sex and age composition of the goose flock wintering in the Horseshoe lake area have been thrown out of balance by severe overshooting, particularly in 1943. In that year, they reported, almost an entire generation of geese that otherwise would have produced young last summer was removed by shooting. Obtain Shellae From Bag The lac insect of India, after being hatched from one of the more than 1,000 eggs laid by the female of the species, migrates from the tree of its birth to another tree, travel- 1 ling slowly at first, but finally at- j taining a speed which may reach 12 ; feet a day. The lac insect, which is ! about one-twelfth of an inch long, ' punctures the bark of trees and draws out sap. Finally, the insect exudes and encrusts itself with the rosin which finally is processed into commercial shellac. Fig trees are favored by the lac insects but there i are 88 known kinds of trees on which they may^be found. About three- j quarters of the shellac exported i from India (about 20,000 tons leaves ' Calcutta annually) finally is used m the United States. Cardinals in 1944, Munger won 11 games and lost 3. But he wns just beginning to find himself. He is now on duty in the Far East and I don't know when we'll get him back. Munger is another who might have led the league." These two are not the only cases. The game through 1946 will give you many others from other clubs. Vets Will Dominate The pennant races of 1946 will feature largely returning players from the service forces. Among those I might mention are Bob Feller, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Tex Hughson, Joe Gordon, Bobby Doerr, Bill Dickey, Phil Rizzuto, Johnny Mize, Hank Greenberg, Dick Wakefield, Spud Chandler, Charlie Kellei^sjohnny Beazley, Howie Pollet, Peewee Reese, Pete Reiser, Country Slaughter, Terry Moore, Dave Ferriss, Dom DiMaggio, and many, many more. It Is from this ex-serviee list that yoa will find the pennant winners the leading hitters and the lead- Ulg pitchers. They will dominate the double show. There will be others who were not in senriee who will play good ban. Here is an example.' In 1945, Snuffy Stirnweiss led the American league hitters with a season's average of .309. Yet it is the opinion of many smart baseball men that it will .take a mark of .360 or .370 to lead the punching parade this season in the junior circuit. I put this query up to six American league veterans, including Bill Dickey and George Selkirk, who know their way around. There were four or five others from American league clubs. It was also their opinion that the 1945 winning mark of .309 wouldn't finish in the first .12. Pitching Won't Matter "What about the better pitching that is coming in?" I asked. "I mean such men as Feller, Hughson, etc." "This win make little difference," one veteran answered. "Hitters like Ted Williams, Wakefleld, Greenberg, DiMaggio, Keller and many others wiU still keep on hitting the baU. Good pitching can wreck the ordinary hitter. Bat It never wrecks the true hitter who knows how to swing a bat and get his bits. "The National league with Phil Cavarretta, Tommy Holmes and others was far ahead of the American league last season. That won't happen again. Watch and see. The American league will take back its old spot as the harder-hitting league, and it will have te face pitching that is just as good," • • • S. American Baseball No one can shake Larry Mac- Phail, the Dodgers' owner, loose from the idea that baseball is headed for a big boom in Latin America and that what we often call "The National Game" will soon be the national game of Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba and other tropical spots. ' "The answer is simple enough," MacPhail says with emphatic gestures. "The kids of these countries are baseball crazy. It is the only game most of them want to play. It is the only game most of them care to talk about. Their knowledge of baseball today is amazing. I'm not guessing about this, for I've been in the middle of at least part of it. "To my mind this will be the best possible build-up for any goodneighbor policy for Latin American friendship. Baseball could do more good in this respect than all the diplomats we could ever assemble. •Frequent Salary Increases •Interesting, ..
