We thought the morning was dark as we toured down town, but stoppedat the Krausenewsstand to pick up the sports final. Thought that stop might brighten our day. No such luck. Things got darker. Dale blew in with the wind and brought no cheer as to the dark skies. Whango! The trees were bending over. The rain was whipping. It wasn't getting better so we rushed home to Mama. JL • 'V The weather experts goofed this timtf. No warnings for this area. From,now on we advise you to consult the Farmer's Almanac or check to see how grandpa's corns are acting. We join the group in a bit of concern over having our trees damaged* but see no reason to mourn when nobody was injured. Sports Editors We did miss the oloctricity* Guess we never appreciate the conveniences until we are without them. The old kerosene lamps and flashlights came into use Saturday night. Got to thinking of Abraham Lincoln and how he studied by candle light. There is no telling how great he might have been had he lived in the electric light era. Our battery radio was a real treat when no television was available. Then when the lights came on about 11:00 p.m., we decided to celebrate by going downtown for a cup of coffee. The Saturday night cutups! With the temperature in the 90* s, our thoughts turn to those nice, crisp days in October. But, we must be men for all seasons. Summer brings a circus for the kids -- large and small. Now comes the American Many parents have not learned to manipulate the volum control of their children's complaints. In a real team effort, the Mc- Henry American Legion team defeated previously unbeaten Marengo 4 to 3. This leaves three teams tied for the league lead. McHenry, Marengo and Woodstock. Marengo plays Woodstock this week and McHenry plays Cary, Tuesday nite. A win by McHenry will give them a tie for first place with the winner of the Marengo-Woodstock game. A playoff game will then take place to determine who represents McHenry county in the district tournament. Marengo scored a run on a wild pitch in the fourth inning, but McHenry came back with three big runs in the fifth as Stahlman led with a single, went to second on a sacrifice and scored as the pitcher threw wild to first. With two out and Steve George on second, Mike Janik singled to give McHenry the lead. On the next pitch Tom Janik tripled and on an overthrow at the plate he tried to score but was tagged out in a hard collision. Tom pitched to three men in the next inning, but just didn't have it anymore and was relieved by Stahlman, who pitched good ball the rest of the way. Marengo tied it up in the sixth, but Rich Meyers came up in the last of the sixth and unloaded a triple and "scored on a sacrifice fly by Pat O'Connor. MCHENRY AB R H Camasta 2B 3 0 2 M.

They crowd docks and mooring areas at night. Sometimes unattended boats attract univited visitors. Object of u££ visit is not to cruise the waterways but to steal the craft or strip it. Pfi Hoiday Races fiinesday Night On Wilmot Trad '• • : • Rain and storms on Saturday spoiled the modified and stock car auto races at the Kenosha County Speedway in Wilmot. Race Cans however will not have to wait all week for the next races. A special holiday evo race had already been set for Wednesday night July 3. One of the largest turnouts of cars is expected because the Wilmot oval is the only track with a pre-holiday race night scheduled. This has caused several of the northern area drivers , to indicate they will be on hand for the special holiday eve races and try to win against the Interstates modified stock car drivers on their home track. Heading the list of these northern drivers will be Johnny Reimer of Caledonia who won the feature event at the Hales Corners Speedway last Saturday night. Hie Wilmot regulars, including Champions, Whitey Harris, Roger Otto, and DOT Sorce plus a host of other top drivers among who are Tom Anderson, Bill Strom, Mouse Wade, Ron Bergman, Claude Potter and others, will be at their sharpest condition of the season to finish ahead of the group from the North. The evening of racing will also include late model stock cars and is sure to break attendance records for competitors for the year. Whitey Harris leads in Point Standings at Wilmot and Tom Anderson of Antioch is in second place. Harris just won the lead by winning his second feature event of the year at Wilmot to become the only driver to double in feature race victories. The Illinois Department of Conservation urges all boat operators to take a few precautions to avoid theft. 1. Boats should be moored with steel chain or cable, not rope. 2- Mooring and docking areas should be lighted at night. 3. All hatches and ports should be locked when the craft is unattended. 4. A hidden switch should be installed in the ignition system. 5. Fuel line valves should be closed when the boat is unattended. 6. Portable equipment such as radios, electronic gear, fishing tackle, life jackets, etc., should be locked in a compartment if it cannfrt be carried ashore. 7. All radios, life jackets and other portable gear should be marked with the owners0 s name or some otter identification. 8. A boat owner should keep a record of the make, model and serial number of his craft, the serial number of his motor, radio, electronic equipment and other gear at home. ' 9. Losses should be reported immediately to the county conservation officer, the State Police or the county sheriffs of- As soon as liilf Department of Conservation is notified of the stolen boat, motor or trailer, all county conservation officers . are informed. Details are given to the State Police for Broadcast over their radio network. Last year 78 boats, 36 motors and nine trailers were reported stolen in Illinois. Of this number, 56 boats and 11 motors were recovered. The recovery rate was higher last year than in 1966 when 106 boats, 62 motors and 11 trailers were stolen. In 1966, 40 boats, 1Q motors and one trailer were returned to their owners. On June 23 a double header was teld on the new field by the V.F.W. grounds and it certainly was great. The first gamp was between the Giants and the Sox with the Giants coming cot on top. The batter for ths Giants was Tiggenman and Camasta. Paul gave up four runs, six hits, five^walks vfhlle getting seven strike-outs. For the Sox it was Gausden and Hosier pitching and Gerstad catching. The Sox gave eight runs four hits, fifteen walks and getting seven strike-outs. Hosier hit a tome run with two men on. In the second game it was the Cards and the Tigers. It was Prazak and Wickenkamp pitching and Morgensen catching. The Tigers were held scoreless till the bottom of the seventh and all eain broke loose. The Cards gave up six runs, seven hits, five walks and got six strike-outs. The batters for the Tigers was Long and Wanta, allowing four runs, six hits, six walks and got eight strikeouts. For the Cards Prazak belted one over the fence in right center with two on. Not to be out done Stilling of the : Tigers put one over in the same ; spot with two on to win the ball game. (Final Scores: Giants 8, Sox 4 - Cards 4, Tigers 6. Because of the bad weather on Tuesday, June 25, the game between the Sox and the Braves will be played at a later date, this gives the teams a chance to rest up a bit. Once again a game had to be cancelled as the field was not in the best of shape from all . the rain we had and it would be a shame to dig it up after aU the time, money and effort that went into it. But, better it rained • than to have it snow. Once again the weather has won out and the game between the Tigers and the Sox had to be called off. This game will be played at a later date. Well, to make the week complete the game between the , Cards and the Braves was also called off, this makes one complete week of baseball that will have to be rescheduled. These games will probably be played at the end of the season. Please don't forget that all g&mes are now being played at the new field by the V.F.W. Come out and watch these future players, cheer them on and give them your support. forestry Division Increases Prices On Seedling Tree* Springfield, HL, - Hie Forestry Division has increased the prices of tfs seedling trees, sbrubs and wildlife packets for the 1969 planting season, the Illinois Department of Conser- " vation announced today.
