PLAINDEALER PHOTO Otfs Win At, Wilmot Followed By Blackout Roger Otto took a big step toward becoming the number one challenger to the point lead now held by Whitey Harris at the Kenosha County Speed-ay in modified stock car racing. Otto won his second feature race here in only four days when he again took the checkered flag at the end of the 30 lap feature race ahead of an electrical failure than blacked out the entire area. The feature race for the late models had just been restarted when the track lights and all others in a v$de area went out. Automobile headlights were directed into the grandstand and an emergency PA system placed in use advising the fans that the trouble was wide spread and [that the remainder of the race jwas cancelled. More than an 1 hour later the light came back Jon but the fans had left in an • orderly fashion and there were ' no accidents. The drivers on the track were surprised but brought their cars under control and there were no problems here either. Only three laps had been run in the feature and positions were awarded according to time trials. Roger Otto took the lead on the 17th lap and nobody was close to j him from there on to the end. ; It might have been a different i race but the majority of the ! cars were bunched behind Jer- ! ry Hester who led before Don } Sorce took over for just two > laps and then stayed at least | fifth until over half the distance. [ At the end however, he dropped back to finish only 15th. Sorce remained second to the end and on the twenty-fifth lap Bill Bohn took third but slowed and lost one spot to Claude Potter at • the finish. TEENAGE LEAGUE -r NOTES Members of the 1968 League All-Stars are as follows: These first listed men are the sorters chosen by the players of each of the teams in the league. Johnsburg - Dave Smith 3B, Wayne Hiller SS, Jim Meyers P, John Michels O.F. Bakery - Phil Oeffling 2B, Dave Schaefer SS, John Huemann OF. [ Dee Concrete - Rich Mey- • ers O.F., Marty Conway IB. j SAC - George Piccolo C. | Members rounding out the | squad are: t Bakery - Rick Jager, Denny I Kilroy, Denny Jackson. ' Johnsburg - Bill Brennan [ S.A.C. - Paul Kilday i Office Supply - Buzz Frett " Lakeland Constr. - Gary Fairchild. Point leader Whitey Harris was missing from his second row starting spot at the start but Jim Sullivan spun on the first lap bringing out the red flag and then Harris, who was making a hasty repair to the Pursesnatcher modified, was able to start but had to go to the back of the pack. By the 12th lap he had fought his way up to 6th but then he too slowed and finished only 9th. This tail end start then made it impossible for any driver to win the bonus money that had been put up for beating Harris in a feature after starting behind him. Tim Seyl set fast time in the late model division and protected the bonus money put up by his sponsors who have added to the amont each week. Bill Launderville, Jim Smith, Arnie Haussmann and Dick Nelson were heat race winners in the late models. The modified semi feature race was won by Tom Anderson but he was not in the Yellow Jacket modified. That car had blown an engine when he started it at Rockford on the previous night and Tom was in Bryon Russell's second car. Earlier, Tom won the second heat race in this car. Other heats for the modifieds were won by Dick Bently, Denny McKay and Ken Hanson who beat out Otto and Mouse Wade in the fourth heat that was a thriller. Earl Walsh SO I HEAR Sports Editors The boss man, Larry Lund, split up the Plaindealer crew last week and took three evenings to give each group a boat ride on the Fox River. We can say that Mr. and Mrs. "S.I.H." had one heckuva pleasant time. The night was fair, the sunset beautiful, the water smooth, refreshments were tasty, the crowd jolly and nary a phone call to break into a most relaxing evening. The only mishap was when our cane rolled overboard as we started home. Larry wheeled the boat around and his son, Brian, had the sharp eyes to spot it floating away. Then came Ken Wise to the rescue. Our hero! We must remember to say something nice to him or about him some day. Our -'Erenda" couldn't make the trip and we missed her. Just one of life's little disappointments. Bonnie Meyers said she was watching the now famous Cub game on TV last week when they hit five home runs and was thinking of our reaction -- not knowing we were right there in beautiful Wrigley Field. Word seems to have gotten around about that ball game. Guess we got 'em off and wingin'. Must visit the Sox as soon as possible. They lost when we saw them in Milwaukee. Seems they always lose up there. It must be the bratwurst. What the Cubs need is another good relief pitcher. What the Sox do not need is another pitcher like Ribant, recently acquired from Detroit. But maybe he will find himself. Bud Liptrot consoles us about the Sox plight, with "Just wait 'til next year". That's what we always say, too, Bud. Who started this "overtime" stuff for extra inning baseball games. Overtime applies to basketball in our book. Watching the All - Star- Green Bay Packer game left us feeling the All-Starr was Bart. The Stars gave a real good account of themselves, but could not cope with the unified play of the Packers. It takes more than three weeks to put a team together. Those pass patterns of the pros is something to behold. TEENAGE SOFTBALL By Jerry G. The playoffs between the four top teams start August 7. The teams taking part in the playoffs are: Johnsburg, the League champs; Bakery, 2nd place; Riverside S.A.C., 3rd place; and Dee Concrete, 4th place. Johnsburg meets Dee Concrete and the Bakery is matched with the S.A.C. in the best 2 out of 3 first round. The winners meet in another 2 out of 3 series for the championship. According to this reporter it will be the toughest playoff series in the last three seasons. Dee Concrete, the youngest team in the playoffs, is capable any team for it is hardest hitting team in the league. During the season Dee Concrete lost a total of 4 games to the three front runners by (me or two runs. On the other hand S.A.C., the third place finishers, are the type of team th^t could have finished on top, but have the problem of not playing together. Hope the fans will come and support their favorite team. The dates of the playoff games are: First Round, August 7, 11,12; Second Round and Title Round, 14,18 and 19. The receiver runs his pattern, gets to a certain spot and whaddayaknow -- the ball is right there. We were pleased to have George and Margaret (Miller) Stoffel drop in to see us last week. Margaret was sorry to have missed that recent class reunion. Her class at McHenry High graduated 50 years ago as you must have noted when their picture was printed. Had a real good visit that could go on and cm. It must be an inside job. Our office has been plastered with signs like "Hey-Hey Cubs" the last week. Those things always go up when we are out. A little detective work would probably reveal an outside man working with an insider. Real interior decorators. Sure » we leave those signs up. Such artistic work must be recognized. One nice thing about the summer is that old friends return to McHenry and come in for a chat. Henry Foss, the man from the; east, was in Monday and told of the long trip he and Lelah took. They covered a lot of the U.S. and part of Canada. We were surprised to hear their son, Charles, is now 43 years old. Time does fly. LADIES summer fun idea. Have a wig party. You'll be amazed at the response from your friends and relatives, and you will have the opportunity to earn a free wig, just by having a party.
