!>•/ age Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Thursday* August 10. 1961 ^ SO I HEAR ... Now, hear this! There has been a change in the county league play-off schedule and the Crystal Lake nine will play the Tigers at Johnsburg on Saturday afternoon of this week. The game starts at 2 p.m. McHenry Country Club News Utile League Notes The change from Sunday to Saturday is due . to Crystal Lake Genoa tourney. Johnsburg beat McHenry and Crystal Lake beat Richmond to eliminate those two teams 'from ihe play-offs. Now comes the battle for the crown. Junior Freund and Herb Reihansperger went to see their . beloved Cubs play a double header last week. Funny they didn't invite us to join them. From where we sit, it looks like the Yankee Bombers and the Dauntless Dodgers will meet in the World Series. The second round of the Past being entered in the ] President's Match Play Tournament was played Aug. € with the following results: "A" Flight -- Moss beat A. Jackson, W. Weber beat Gac, Seepe beat R. Johnson,- Varese beat Overton, Sayler beat Falcon, Victor beat Rosing, Nilles beat Buss and Freund beat Burgmeier. "B" Flight -- Jensen beat Thies, Reihansperger beat Marion, Smithson beat Wattles and Simon beat H. Jackson. Blind Bogey winners were: "A" Flight--R. Hughes, W. Kadisak, W. Meyer, tied with 84. "B" Flight -- C. Maierhafer and J. Etten tied with 88. R. Weber was third with 83. The Calcutta Rules Committee Of course, we had hoped to see the White Sox play somebody in the big series, but their a 61 record was spoiled by (everyone in the men's lounge) sciatch\ needle .mst wi.en ^ e 1 d an impromptu meetthe victory march was sound- ing right afler golf ,ast Sun_ ing good- „ ; tjay an(j nothing was settled. L v I The only point ot agreement The question seems to be, ! was that our games committee are the Yankees smarter in ! and the C.D.G.A. handicapping picking up those home run hit- system should be investigated ters or do they brain wash by the House Committee on them after they capture them.

Maybe the Cubs could use another coach. i i I i I i i i i i The Little League column this week tells all about tournament play, but the boy.> wani us to add that Ernie Useman donated the trophies and to say "Thank you." SUDDEN THOUGHT: If all of us suffered with hay fever, there wouldn't be any high weeds. Somebody once said, "The other fellow's headlights, like his faults, always seem more glaring than our own." Mrs. Jones -- "I'm going to enter Fido in the dog show next month." Friends -- "Do you think he will win many prizes?" "No, but he'll meet some ! Henry's most promising young On Wednesday of last week, the Sox beat the Giants 18 to 11 in a real slugfest. Rich ; Soda was the winning pitcher j and contributed a home run to his team's cause.

Sunday afternoon, in the first game of a doubleheader, Team B, managed by Len Blake, won by a score of^11-9. The rubber game was taken by Team A with a $core of 8-6. The boys played good ball and all the fans enjoyed the games. The Bluebirds came in first place this year winning hands down as Ed Doyle really had his boys in shape. Good infielders combined with steady pitching and heavy bats made Ihem hard to beat as their record indicates. Congratulations!

Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Aug. 10, 1911 One of the most deplorable fatal accidents which we have b£en called upon to chronicle in a long time is that of Robert J. Sutton, who was fatally gored by a bull on his farm at Emerald Park last Saturday evening, the effects of which proved fatal about two hours after the accident occurred. Miss Elizabeth Lehane, sis t?r of Rev. D. Lehane of St. Patrick's Catholic church here, passed away at the rectory where she has been making her home Tuesday evening. She had been ill three years. Word has been received from Charles Slimpin, a former McHenry resident, now of Abilene, Texas, of damage caused by a sJ:orm there on July 31. The first intimation of the storm came when a large window crashed on the table where they were eating supper. Practically everything in their home, except clothing, was wrecked by wind, rain and hailstones as large as eggs. Mr. Slimpin is secretary and manager of the Abilene Gas, Light, Fuel and Power company. ... Sale prices at Block and Bethke's include men's oxfords that sold at $4.00, $4.50 and $5.00 now $2.95; good quality men's shirts and drawers, each 25 cts; ladies' sleeveless vests. 12 and 15 cts; muslin corset covers, 25, 35 and 50 cts; good quality men's sweater coats, 50 cts; ladies' shoes that formerly sold at $2.25, $2.50 and $3.00 now $1.85; all lawns and batiste formerly 15 and 18 cts. now 10 cts; gingham petticoats made of good quality gingham, full cut, ruffled flounce, selling at 50, 69, 75 and $1.00. No village hall. That is the verdict returned by the voters at the special election held. Of the 197 voters 175 did not approve of a city hall. Miss Vera Bolger entertained fifteen friends at Mc- Cullom Lake Tuesday evening. Some of the girls wandered too close to the water's edge but we sincerely hope that their clothes are again dry. Frank Going, a former McHenry resident, passed away at his home in Chicago Aug. 4, at the age of fifty-two years. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of August 4, 1921 A n n o u n c e m e n t h a s been made of the marriage of Miss Lucile Byrd, daughter of Mrs. Anna Byrd Brooks of Wauconda, and Louis William Rohman, son of the George Rohmans, of Crystal Lake, which took place in Chicago June 5. The Byrd family formerly resided in McHenry. J. W. Kimball, McHenry township assessor, was surprised by his children and their families at his home on Waukegan street Sunday in observance of his eighty-first birthday. The distinction of holding public office at his ripe old age comes to very few people and the manner in which he executed his duties this spring is remarkable. The plank walk gyer the mill dam race is to be rebuilt. Although this is not a public highway, most of us seem to think so and will cross the dam. The Borden Company, owners of the property, have arranged for ne^v timbers as well as replanking so far as is found necessary. Farmers throughout the locality were happy indeed with the rain which visited this section this week. The visitation at this time not only proved a great help for the pastures, but was also sadly needed to help along that bumper crop of corn. The neglect of people picknicking between Ridgefield and Crystal Lake Sunday to stamp out a fire, caused a blaze which destroyed nearly fifty acres of pasture of peaty composition and had to be watched for several days. Misses Mary Gannon, Florence Carey,. Anna Frisky, Mayme Buss, Elsie and Bertha Wolff, Ruth Kent, Lena and Clara Stoffel, Maude Granger, Kathryn Burks and Mesdames R o y H a n k e r m e y e r , R o b e r t Thompson, George Steilen and Etl. Sutton comprised a party of our young people who motored to Lake Geneva, Wis., Saturday evening, where they saw the Sells-Floto circus. Both the ride and the circus Were throughly enjoyed by the happy party who made the trip in Ben Adams big motor bus.

They left at 10 in the morning arriving home at 8 p.m. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken from the Files , of July SO, 1986 The beautiful lotus beds in Grass Lake are doing their best to make things pleasant for centennial visitors in McHenry and are bursting into bloom just in time to present a spectacular sight over the weekend. The Hunter Boat company will run two excursions daily over the weekend. A few years ago a new feature, known as an observation tower, was built on Blarney Island, in the center of Grass Lake, by Jack O'Conner and here visitors may obtain a view of the gorgeous scene presented by the 2,000 acres of blooming lotus. Miss Miriam Sayler will be the centennial queen. This was determined at the close of the ticket-selling contest Thursday night when the seven candidates for queen concluded a ticket selling campaign during which 1,300 admissions for the p&geant were sold. Miss Eleanor Sutton, second in the contest, and Marguerite Johnson, third, will be princesses and the remaining candidates will compose the queen's court. They are Jean and Vivian Whiting, Ethel Granger, Jane Heimer, Mercedes Hayes and Janet Bishop. A pleasant occasion was observed in Crystal Lake Sunday, when Mr. and Mrs. W. fc. Illlilllll Illlilllll 1ALK< By Henry Heise of Bolger's Drug Store FOR MEN ONLY? We never saw a sign like that hanging in front of our store. So we wonder where the ladies in our audience ever got the idea that family picture-taking is something that has to wait until daddy gets home. The fact is -- good family pictures won't wait. And they don't have to. Not when the new Brownie cameras are so easy to use. Take the Brownie Starmatic Camera, for instance. It has a built-in electric eye that automatically does all the lens setting, so you just frame the children in the viewfinder and press the button. The electric eye makes sure that you get bright, clear pictures every shot. Take one picture in bright sun. The next on the shady side of the house. No matter. The electric eye automatically sets the lens to give you a good picture each time. Does the light look too dim for a picture? No need to guess. The electric eye tells you when it's time to switch to flash bulbs. So why not declare yourself the family's unofficial photographer? You can own a new Brownie Starmatic Camera for as little as $29.95 at our counter. Whiting and son, George, attended a family reunion at the home of Mrs.Lois Senne, where Mr. Whiting and his four sisters enjoyed being together for the first time in many years. Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Pinnel will hold open house at the parsonage from 2 to 4 p.m_ Friday to greet old friends anff members of the M. E. church who are visiting here during the centennial. Thirty-six new auto manufacturing companies were founded in Detroit, Mich., during the first 8 months of 1910 --among them, the Flanders, Paige, Case, Federal, McFarland, Amplex and Whiting. ^ Ultra-Modern One Mile East of McHenry on Route 120 R.
