He admitted this report was given Since he had hit a 233 game himself. i Willis Schreiner had 8 games over 200, Gus Freund 7 and Ed Thennes 6. H. G. Weber, Harold Steffan and Harold Freund each had 5. "Red" Wirikel was credited 4* -but demands a recount.

JOHNSBURG BALL TEAM WILL BE HERE SUNDAY Shamrocks Move to City Diamond Under Mutual Agreement While the weather has not been favorable for practice, the McHenry County Baseball league schedule tells us that the *54 race will get under way next Sunday, May 9. The McHenry Shamrocks will be hosts to the Johnsburg Tigers, the game to be played on the city diamond in Millstream Park addition. After playing several years on the V.F.W. diamond, the Shamrocks decided on a change and asked permission to use the city diamond. The request was granted and final arrangements made this week. Your Sports Editor^ in conversation with representatives of both the Shamrocks and V.F.W., learned that the change was made by mutual agreement, with best wishes exchanged in the fulfillment of plans. With the beautiful and spacious V.F.W. grounds available, it is expected that the extensive program for softball leagues will greatly benefit. As plans progress to meet the demands of a fast growing sports program in the community, it is felt that the change will prove beneficial to all in the way of providing recreational facilities. New Managers New managers will lead their,; teams into the fray "next SutidajK Larry Stilling having been chosen to manage the Shamrocks and Howie Katz leading the Tigers. While the relative strength of the teams cannot be predicted until they are seen in action, it is always a real attraction when Johnsburg and McHenry cross bats. Both teams will figure to gain strength when regular players return from college. The stage is set. Be there next Sunday when the man in blue yells, "Play Ball!" In.'tftp doubles matches, Dick Fredri%s and Frank Gende chimed In with a tops 1063. Fred Meyer took the singles with 611. Thanks to President Ed Thennes and the boys for the invitation.

Shay reports a new one happening at Coast Guard Auxiliary headquarters last Sunday. He and Wally Skord were on duty when Miss Dolores Kuenhold came in to report that her 40-foot sailboat had been stolen. She had placed ° the boat on the beach at the "Last Resort" on Fox Lake last fall.

The public is invited to attend^ PITCHING *Cart Hubbed from th• book "How to Play" published by ffi)* Sporting News Chapter# CLOSING SUGGESTIONS You have to go along gradually. For the first three days do not throw hard, or throw curves. Loosen up--run-- play pepper games. After a week, try spinning a few curves, but do not snap the curve for ten days. , After a few years a boy gets to know his arm, and realizes that if he treats it properly* In the beginning, and once gets it into good shape, then it is actually difficult to harm that arm. It may become weary with extra work and lose its snap, but it will not be damaged. If it is. wrong to throw at the start of training, then it is especially forbidden to throw in the off-season. Don't throw at all in the winter. Rest you arm; it deserves a rest. Do not go in for exercise such as weight-lifting because that will overdevelop muscles which are not needed in pitching and which can get in the way and cramp pitching style. Use your legs and not your arm in the off-season. In fact, use and train your legs all the time, because legs are the key to the length of a player's career. You don't have to train legs strenuously. Walk as much as passible. Don't work sitting down in the winter. Be on your feet as much as possible, because once you let your legs get out of practice, then those legs will fall out of the habit, and will not last long. | In closing, I want to stress again the qualities oJL patience and confidence. Yotf must have both, because pitching is not easy and cannot be rushed. Time and again in our farm system we are conscious of those two virtues, because young pitchers so often lose one or the other. One youngster may have a good year in Class C, for instance, and he will conclude he is ready for the big leagues. He wants to go right up to the majors, and skip the natural course of development, physically and mentally, which will fit him for the best baseball. Another youngster may have a poor year in the minors and assume he will never make it, and tell us in disgust that he is going to quit. But we may prize that boy as one of our finest prospects. When things go real good for you, have patience to continue learning, and when the outlook seems grim, have the confidence in yourself to work harder than ever. *As related to Jot King.

BARRINGTON BEATS McHENRY'S SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM 6-2 In qpite of out-hitting Bqjfija|fton's baseball team 7 to 4, McHenry High lost a non-conference game the past week by a 6 to 2 count. While hitting has not been of a robust nature in the high school games, Loren Freund and Harry Schmitt each got into the 2-hit class in this game. STRICTLY FRESH CHARLIE HILLER Charles Hiller, Route 5, Mcenry, Illinois, a sophomore at e College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, is beginning hip second year as a varsity regular on the Tommy baseball team.
