rnmmrn mm Page Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, A igusi 9,1962 (iftdUJi. SO 1 HEAR... Sometimes when we start a column without a brain cell working we look back over the past week and try to recall what happened. Thursday night we spent an enjoyable evening in the Joe Etten home., We sat, talked, viewed some of Jqe's fine collection of pictures, talked, had a wee drop, talked more, gathered 'round for a tasty snack, talked, but didn't figure out how to bring the White Sox home in first place. Took about a half hour Friday afternoon to relax on the porch of the Pistakee Country Club and enjoy a light repast while visiting with Bill jand Mama Malpede. Saw a fellow on the course who looked for all the world like LeRoy Hetterniann, but couldn't locate him when it came time to leave. Haven't seen LeRoy in a long time. Wonder? Big city relatives hit town Friday so we joined them for a fish fry Mcfrenry style. A little family get-together always brings out remember way back when yarns, and we happen to have younger sister who can add a little to those old yarns each time they are recalled. How's everything with your family? Saturday morning our nephew, Rab Weber, was married to a sweet little gal, Sue Miller, at Wonder Lake. Sue is the daughter of Mary Miller, one of our co-workers at Ye Olde PlaindeaJer. And Sue has a twin sister, Mary Lou, who was also married the same day, same time. Remember when those girls were bouncy, little cheerleaders for McHenry high --just a short time ago? That was the first doubleheader we have attended where they didn't swing bats. Sunday was a joyous day as we watched (TV) the White Sox beat the mighty Yankees in 13 innings. Guess our power scared 'em! Monday night we assembled with the City Fathers and the air-conditioner went haywire. How in the world did we live before air-conditioning? Now it is Tuesday night and time to get at a column. The rest of the sport page has had attention. SHAMROCKS WIN 3-1 AT AURORA; TOURNEYNEXT Johnsburg Tigers Again Lead Loop In Final Standings The McHenry Sham rocks travelled to Aurora lastu Sunday and came home with a nice 3-1 victory. Roger Tinder, Bob Schroeder and Jerry Sunderlage each pitched three innings for the winners. Ray Bujak had 2 hits and a walk. The runs batted in went to Bujak, Gary Tinder and John Knox. Next Sunday the playoffs will start in the county league. This year it will be more of a tournament with all five teams participating. It will be a double elimination tournament, a team must lose twice before it is out. This Sunday, Aug. 12, Dundee will play at Richmond and Harvard at McHenry, Johnsburg gets a bye. However, the Harvard-M c H e n r y game will be played here on Saturday, Aug. 11, due to the Genoa tournament. The following Sunday Johnsburg will play the winner of McHenry and Harvard. The two*5 losers will play. From there on the Commissioner, Guv. Bolger, will pair up the teams. McHenry will play its first game in the American Amateur Baseball Congress Tourney at Genoa, 111., Sunday, Aug. 12, at 12:30 p.m. There will be three games a day played at Genoa. If the Shamrocks win their first game they will play the following Saturday. If they lose, they will play the third game on Aug. 12. This is also a double elimination tournament.

Sunday, Aug. 12, Father- Son Day will mark the end of the season. There will be a picnic for the boys of all the teams on Pony League and their families. The day will be climaxed with a Father- Son baseball game and (he awarding of trophies to (he top team, and individual' awards for top performances ,)f the season. Earl Walsh and Charlie Brown, the quiet busy men who have been behind the scenes in Pony League doing •some of the work that helped keep the League going for -;even years will be on hand. Earl Walsh will M.C. tW affair, and will "have. aJitrfTe support by Mayor Don Doherty. Karl Walsh is the man responsible for financial rec- >rds covering injuries to players, insurance, handling of finances, and with such a caplble gal Friday as Irene Wittrock, there just couldn't be a better man for the job! Those fathers who participated last year will remember he thrill of letting loose and having fun with their boys. Two games will be played to nclude all the fathers who can ?xpect some real competition his year from the biggest ,-rop of home run hitters in McHenry's Pony League his- !ory -- 27 boys have. delivered i total of 92 home runs, and these boys will be trying just is hard to hit their fathers out if the park (provided the fathers can come up with pitchsrs who can find the plate!) "The game Is never over until the last man is out" especially applies this year, for the Giants are only two ,'ames ahead with Braves/Giants game and Card/Sox game lo be played as of this writing. Wins here would control the playing of the tie game between the Cards and Giants. The present team status W L Giants 12 Cards ' 10 Sox 6 Braves 4 Physical Exams For Athletes All McHenry high school boys, including seniors, juniors, sophomores and in-coming freshmen who plan to come out for any athletics during the coming school year should report to the high school gymnasium on Monday morning, Aug. 20, for their physical examination. The examinations will start at 8:30 a.m. The senior boys will receive their examihations first, then the juniors, the sophomores and finally the freshmen. The fee for the examination is $1. This examination is required before a boy can report for practice in any sport. Those who for some reason know they cannot be at the school on the Monday of Aug. 20 should pick up their physical examination card from the principal's office and go to their own family doctor for their test. All boys going out for football should also plan to pay for their football insurance on Aug. 20. The fee for this insurance is $11., including $8 for football and $3 for the basic premium. The State High School association has also passed a rule for this year requiring all football players to wear mouth guards. Each boy will furnish his own. These guards may be purchased from local sports stores. However, if the parents prefer, they may have their family dentist make or procure the mouth guard for their boy. There will be a meeting of all football players, seniors through freshmen, on Friday night, Aug. 17, at 7:30 p.m. The meeting will be in the high school auditorium. Walt Freund gets a lot of inside stories on baseball via radio and keeps us up to date. He and I could manage the White Sox, but nobody in the front office has asked us. Next Sunday is the windup of the Pony League season. Seems it just started. Each year the plea goes out to parents and friends of young boys to turn out for this last day. Sometimes we look around at the crowd and wonder. The fathers will play the boys in one of the games and that is sure to be a lot of fun. Be there at 1 o'clock. The relief pitching of Jerry Erb and the heavy hitting of David De Pauw proved too much for the major league 9 and 10 year olds as the Minor league All-Stars won 11-2. Paul Thennes turned in an excellent defensive play for the winners to stop an early scoring threat. Bob Funk was the winning pitcher as he took matters into his own Hands by hitting a 3-run homer to break a tie and give the 12 year olds an 8-5 win in the first game of a double header. The 11 year olds squared accounts when Dennis De Pauw and Mark Wegener pitched their team to a 3-2 win in the night cap as Gene Hester came through with timely hitting. Congratulations to the local American Legion baseball team for winning the county championship. The reports haven't carried a by-line, but the fellow reporting those Legion games is Gary Walsh. Fred Petersen has shown a lot of interest in young people and hag turned in a nice job of coaching the Legion team. We have also learned from time to time that Fred has had a lot of help from Joe Stanek in coaching the boys and bringing therh along fast in the final stretch. Nice going. Daily Pinups Some celebrities grow simply great; some great simply. others grow The most breakable thing in the world are the Ten Commandments. The time has come when more adults and fewer children believe in Santa Claus. It's the clothes that make a woman that are apt to break a man.

McHenry Legion Nine Wins Title The six hit pitching of Ted Freund, coupled with a triple by John Corso brought McHenry's Legion team a 4-1 victory over Algonquin Sunday and first place in league play. Ted went the distance allowing only one run and singled twice. John's triple scored Ted with the winning run and Vern Petersen with an insurance run in the sixth inning. This was our seventh win in a row after a fair first round of four wins and three defeats and; gives us an overall record >of eleven and three. The team's^, play over the second half of the season has been that of a championship club as we defeated two of the three teams that had beaten us by an aggregate of eight runs and came from behind to beat the third club. ?Next week the pjayer averages will be listed.

McHENRY COUNTRY CLUB The honor for having the best round of the week probably should go to Bob Piesert who is playing his first full year of golf. Bob is one of our high handicap members with a 16, but he is not destined to be at that level very long because he went around the course in 79 shots last week. You can't miss many shots when you score like that. Speaking of scoring-- I understand someone shot a* 75 last week and didn't put it on the handicap sheet. You should never be ashamed of that kind of score. Speaking of some real scoring, I wonder what Pete Meyer would have had on 12 if he had finished out the hole. Pete stood on the 12th tee with 9 shots to his credit before he decided it wasn't worth it. I'm sure he will start a crusade for the abolishment of the out of bounds oh 12. While Pete had his trouble on the tee, Frank Rourke had his troubles on the greens. Frank must have set some kind of record Sunday with 7-3 putt greens and 1-4 putt green. I take back what I said about you on Hookey day, Frank. Bill Burgmeier had a little trouble with his putting too when he missed a 6 inch putt on 1-3 which caused Lou Consago to breathe the biggest sigh of relief I have ever heard. Right, Lou? The classic golf story of the year, of course, belongs to Ray Rode. It seems that Ray was playing the second hole when he hit his 2nd shot into a big oak tree where it stayed nestled in the fork of one of the limbs. Determined not to be stymied by such a trivial obstacle, he went over to Lou Consago's house and borrowea a ladder, climbed up into the tree, and using his club like a cue stick, nudged the ball out of the fork and back on the ground. He went on to score a 6 on the hole. I don't know what the ruling will be on that, Ray-- but you have my vote for the most determined golfer of this year. - - - SORRY The space man made us cut rlown stories.
