At the moment the White Sox are perched on the top rung in this hell-bent-for-election American League scramble. And there are mixed emotions among our co-workers. That Hoosier Kid has switched his allegiance to Cleveland. Last week he came Klapperich In Fine Form; Meet Again Sun. At Johnsburg The Johnsburg Tigers were back in winning ways last Sunday to defeat Pox Lake 7 to 1 in the first of a 2-out-of-3 series in the county play-offs) Willie Klapperich turned in anthrough with, "Oh. I've been a ! other fine pitching performance, White Sox fan right along." Herb Shriner isn't the only funny man from Indiana. Marie sticks to her Cubs tod "Brenda" prefers 40-love or love at 40 on the tennis courts. Back in our own back yard, we find the county league playoffs going only partially true to form. We never saw a Johnsburg team that wasn't tough in the final stretch. The Tigers gained the edge last Sunday with a 7-1 victory over Fox La&e. Fox Lake will be back next Sunday in a do or die battle. The Shamrocks were up against Roewer, a pitcher whom nobody seems too anxious to face. But, it was McHenry's own pitching that fell by the wayside. You couldn't figure the Merchants to wallop both Miller and Bockman, but that they did -- 22 hits no less. Winning that first game of a series seems important, but winning the last one is more important. So -- the Shamrocks will have to bounce up next Sunday or start building for next year. We might have looked sick one recent morning after a White Sox setback, but didn't think it bad enough for Holger Pedersen to half carry us into that undertaker on the corner.

It was a 5-run blast in the fourth that broke a scoreless tie and sent the Tigers a-wingin' on their way to this important victory. Next Sunday the Pox Lake team will be back for another try on the Johnsburg diamond. Johnsburg (7) T. Oeffling, rf H. Katz, 3b L. Freund, 2b H. Freund, ss A. Jackson, cf R .Freund, If S.

Bimbo's and Hettermann's will play this week to decide the play-off champion of the league. Three games will be played. •s, The first game between Hettermann's and Buss was won easily by Hettermann's 14-4. In the pecond game, Buss scored 4 runs in the seventh inning to win 11 to 8. Buss couldn't get started in I the final game, scoring only 2 Wuns on 5 hits while Hetter- "xnann's scored 11 runs on 15 hits. Leading hitters in the 3 game •-series were W. Smith, 8 for 12, ^ J.

For Pa's Yanks, D. Rosing got 6 for 9, A. Jackson, 7 for 11, and H. Behnke, 4 for 7. A tremendous crowd turned out last Saturday night to see the beautiful new McHenry Recreation building and watch the feature match between the famous Hamm's team and the McHenry Recreation match game team.' Anchored by the smooth rolling Wilman, the visitors piles up 1003 pins in the first game. Wagner's 215 was second high in this first game. Wilman rolled games of 223- 213-215 for a 651 total and drew the bulk of attention from the spectators. The crowd roared approval when the announcement was made that the local team topped the visitors by 19 pins in the final game. Individual Scores Hamm's: J. Norris, 543; H.

It is proving popular not only with visitors to our state, but with residents who are constantly looking for new and better places to fish. Published by the Division of Fisheries, land available free of charge uporK.request to the Department, the booklet lists all department managed public fishing areas and a complete countyby- county list of streams and lakes all over Illinois. Copies of the new fishing guide are available in the department's Chicago office, 160 N. LaSalle. Last week when we asked for odd or comical experiences we never expected to <get one like this. It seems a couple of boys on the West Side caught a pink and black muskrat with yejlow spots. There is no proof, however, and we think maybe the poor beast was a figment of their imagination. It probably was. After all some people <eee pink elephants on Saturday nights, why not multicolored muskrats? This year 10,500 more hunters will be able to enjoy the opportunities of hunting on the state's public grounds. There are three more hunting areas in the state this year. Hunters may send in their requests ' for permits between Sept. 1 and 25. Two nearby pheasant areas are Chain O'Lakes and Des Plaines. Duck and pheasant hunters seeking permits should write to the permit office in Springfield, preferably on a post card, asking for a pheasant or duck (or both) application blank. Remember, dove and squirrel season opens today, Thursday, Sept. 1. When hunting^ goiufrel always wear dull colored clothes. If you know a squirrej is in a tree and you can not locate him, here is a good trick. Tie,aj string on a nearby bush arid baCK off "behind a tree. Wiggle the bush a few times and then wait. If it does not work the first time, try again. It usually works every time. Leonard Johnson is still having good luck. He caught a 30-inch pike last week. "Elkhart Lake, Wis. "August 28, 1955 "Dear Jack, "I don't know if this qualifies as an odd fish story because the only thing odd about it $$,s ttye 'fish.' "Several years ago, fishing off the pier at Bald Knob on Pistakee Lake with an ordinary pole and worm-baited hook, I caught a 'Mud puppy' or 'Mud Skipper.' It was an unusual looking fish, because it had arm-like pectoral fins, and as I recall protruding eyes. "My father topk the fish to McHenry and Ray McGee put it on display in a fish tank in the clothing store window. It died shortly, as I recall. And then, I caught another to replace it. What finally happened to the second one I never have found out. "Have you heard of any more of these 'fish' being caught in the Chain O'Lakes? "Yours truly, "Marie Johnson ^aun" Yes, there are still plenty of "Mud Puppies" being caught in the Chain O' Lakes. Thanks for your contribution to our column. We appreciate it very much. CRYSTAL LAKE RAPg* OUT 22 HITS TO WIN ' i FROM McHENRY lt-3 < This little story is going to be shorf. To cover all details would take-too much ink and the^efrding would still be the saipe. The McHenry Shamrocks lost to the visiting Crystal Lake Merchants last Sunday 11 to 3 in their first game of the County League playoffs. Sonny Miller allowed, ll hits in six innings and A1 Bockman allowed the same number of'safe blows in three innings. That is a far cry from the brand served up by these big fellows during the season. McHenry had 9 hits and received the same number of free rides to first from the visiting pitchers. They just didn't get around to score. Now the Shamrocks travel to Crystal Lake next Sunday full of determination to bounce back into the stride that landed them in second place in the ..regular schedule standings. They have to win this one. Crystal Lake (11) AB R H Radovich, c 6 2 3 D.

Fraser "At five o'clock in the morning most sensible people are asleep," so siys my wife, a firm believer in the full eight hour rest treatment for better living. But somehow when I think of thfe excitement to be had with a limber fly rodi and a monster bass, I' 'cap't help steal out of bed at the crack of dawn and head for the front yard where awaits a small white row boat, motionless on the Fox River. Fishing on the Fox has been my pleasure and hobby for some 20 years, first with a cane pole, then a casting rod, until now I'm a dyed-in-the-wool fly enthusiast. After assembling the 8-foot Japanese-made rod and making sure the tackle box, net and 9tringer are in proper position, the morning fishing gets underway. The sun has yet to rise and no breeze is evident except for a little shimmer that carries the lifting fog along its steady path toward the McHenry dam, two miles distant. Out on the river, little swirls mean fish are feeding. _op surface. Moments later, with this in mind, a tiny red and" white popper, the size of an acorn, is fastened to six feet of tapered leader and sent out on the end of thirty-five feet of waxed fly line. My kind of fishing calls for working the shallows from 25 to 30 feet out. Thtls the lure is dropped inches £rom the breakwater and retrieved two or three feet with a frog like twitch. Three casts later a spirited bluegill pops the. lure and off he goes on a series of cartwheel spins which lead him toward the Half-dozen more casts and an- RICHMOND BURGLARY The Richmond farm residence of Edgar Prottzman on Rt. 31 was entered by burglars one evening last week and several items of value taken, including a power saw and other tools. A 1949 oneton truck was also made away with from the yard. The burglar was said to have entered the home by breaking a window on the south side of the house.

"How they biting?" comes Mr. King's booming voice from the back yard, where he is warming up his Cadillac for a trip to the local train station. "Nothing big yet, Jack, but wait an hour or so." Forty minutes pass then a lunker hits. Not the savage splash of an irritated bass, but a simple "Plopp" and the eight foot rod bends under the weight Of a three-pounder at the moment heading for surface to try and shake the lure from his mouth. Keep a tight line and don't let him get pierced; look out for that lily bedi; and he jumps again shaking his head and showing the red of his gills. Now he's on his way to deep water. The strain on the three pound test leader nearly reaches its end but he turns luckily and heads for the boat, then under and out of water on the shore side. He's hooked good. A few more runs and a couple jumps and the beauty is in the boat, slippery and strong. "What is it, a bass?" says Mr. Lenox Armstrong, who with his wife had been watching the tussle from their front porch. Held up for inspection, both gasped that such a fish could be taken in the shallows below their rock sea \vall.

If she doesn't understand the fun of angling in the early hours, when nature is at its best, no mortal can explain it to her. It is for her to wonder about and fishermen, like you and I, to enjoy.
