Pictured with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Overton, right, and sister, Marguerite, are Armando Forti, president of Little League, and Richard Bender, member of the Overton Cadillac-Pontiac-sponsored Little League team, the Hawks. PLAINDEALER PHOTO SPORTS Et Earl Walsh SO I HEAR ^ Over this holiday weekend, Sjve chose to clean the file and -$lear the deck in this sports '/department. "] "Once in awhile we have to •reorganize. For instance, we promised Foreman Dick some 2time ago that we would mark tthe important stories. So, when Xa windup story on MCHS golf "hit our eyes with a small head '•instead of more prominence, '<we had to button our lip. We ^hadn't marked it for a big Chead. Sports Editor Dean wheeling a wheelbarrow down John Street -- (He's the same fellow who told Harvey Nye to roll "down" our car windows when a storm came up on Saturday) -- The Herman Bucks and friends sitting comfortably on a well manicured lawn --«r Then we met people like Mrs. Seepe, theHarold Jensens and Bob Bttrns -- taking the little drop and telling us about the greatness of the Cubs. Of course, they were telling about the Gabby Hartnett era. Setting up track scores is a •bugaboo in the so-called work I department of a newspaper, but 'we have better plans for the future. McHenry placed third in the McHenry County Frosh-Soph meet. Weigman took first in the low hurdles (22-1). This i group looks good for next year. Met three local barbers, Joe Stanek laughed 1 and said, "Where did you get that hat?" It was a narrow brimmed straw we were wearing. Tom Bolger had led the jeers against our wide brimmed felt number. And to think we spent years making fun of ladies' hats! Alex Agase brought out a good ' _ point in his talk at the recent " • athletic banquet. He said the TV cameras were always in ^l.the right place to show action *•'. when a small minority demonstrated in Chicago last sum- Z mor near the Hilton Hotel, v But, reported Alex, when > 48,000 fine young "4-H-- boys and girls assembled, there wasn't a TV camera in sight. It is time to quit giving these r1 kooks so much time and pay % attention to the thousands of s fine young people in our coun- > try* Those who make so much fuss v about police brutality in that *• big episode last summer snould •* ask somebody who was right " there in the scene. We did. We like the story of the old Vermont farmer who sat rocking on his porch one nice evening with his wife of some 50 years beside him. He broke the long silence with: "Sometimes when I think what you have meant to me all these years, it's all I can do to keep from telling you". v •£*» t fL P ¥ P P. jjj The Memorial Day pro- £ gram was impressive, esjjP pecially with so many young yv people participating. For real patriotism, just watch those $ World War I vets when the & jsSBag goes by. £* J-r vVe drive around a bit in the p* evening and saw: Brenda in her $SS$ennis shorts --' A prayer meetin* crowd in Harry Conway's back yard -- Harry The second barber we met >vas Larry Nimsgern. He wanted to say things about the Cubs (good things) -- and things about the Sox (bad things). Well, Gary Harrison heard Larry and let us know he is on our side. Gary is not only a fine young man and a fine athlete, he is also a young man with good judgement. The third barber was "Smitty". He played 27 holes of golf and wrapped himself around a 4 pound steak. He doesn't bother talking baseball when there is a big steak to be polished off. Life can be beautiful. Life can also be miserable. Just imagine what we are going through since the Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves three straight while our Sox were getting the treatment in Washington. VVe look for better days. ENDS THURS.

Marian had a very disappointing won-lost record this past year, but most of the boys showed good progress throughout the year. Despite the poor records in the meets, there were a number of outstanding performances turned in by the thinclads. The Hurricanes are looking to the future with seven lettermen returning for the 1970 campaign. Even though the seniors were the heavy scorers in most meets, it was the sophomores and juniors that provided the depth that is so necessary to produce a winner. Four sophomore and three junior lettermen will be returning to form the nucleus of next year's team. Marian competed in ten dual and triangular meets and earned one outright victory over Grays lake. They also entered six large meets, which included the County and the Suburban Catholic Conference Meet. Marian also finished second in three triangulars and last in three others. Marian suffered a severe setback during the last three MCHS Swim Coach weeks of the season when sophomore sprinter John Brda pulled a thigh muscle from which he never fully recovered. It was a tough injury for Brda because he was just rounding into form as a consistent 10.6 sprinter in the hundred yard dash. The weight events were the producers of the most outstanding individual marks as two shotputters threw over fifty feet and two discus throwers threw over 139*. Marty Conway, who put 56* 4}f* against Crown, was declared ineligible early in the season because of the IHSA limitation on age. He also had a mark of 139* 5#' Elect New Boating Law Association President Ken Gruenewald, Decatur, was elected president of the North Central States Boating Law Administrators Association at the recent annual meeting of that organization in Traverse City, Mich. Gruenewald has been supervisor of boating for the Illinois Department of Conservation since 1960. He retired from the U.S. Coast Guard in 1959 after 22 years of service. The association is interested in all aspects of recreational boating and is dedicated to the promotion of safe pleasure boating. A major objective of the 12-state group is to promote uniformity of boating regulations and encourage reciprocity among states in the enforcement of boating laws. McHenry Youth League By Joe Prazak We had hoped to have the names of the boys and the teams that they are to play with in the paper by now but as of this time we were not given the full rosters of all the teams. So in the near future we hope to get a team a week put in so as to leave room for other sport events. Don't forget the Youth League Tag Day being held on June 7. The revenue from this day helps to keep the league going and enable us to purchase the needed equipment as the season moves along, so once again don't forget June 7. We are sorry to see that we have a waiting list of boys wanting to play ball but this is what happens when one is late in signing up. With the way things are going it looks like next year we will have to expand to eight teams. We start our season on June 8 at one in the afternoon. Well here is the Giants roster for this year: Hurkes, Steinsdorfer, Tiggerman, Worm, Camasta, Hahn, Haney, Forti, Knaack, Biederrer, Meddings, Tonyan -- Co- Mgrs. A. Steindorfer and H. Tiggerman. Good luck, gentlemen. See you next week.

If you have young children in your household, you can avoid the problem of what to do with young wild birds if you take a suggestion from the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries andWildlife. If your children bring home "lost" wild ducklings or other wildlife babies, have the children return the bird or animal to the spot where it was found -- immediately. Chances are, the federal agency says, the young wild creature wasn't lost in the first place, even though the children didn't see the bird or animal's parents around. The odds are good that the youngster's mother will be waiting near the spot #here the young duck was "found". Better yet, the Bureau says, parents should instruct their children to leave wild birds and animals alone. Young wildlife is seldom abandoned; usually the parent birds or animals are out looking for food and will return to the nest or den shortly. AWARD WINNER Joseph P. Welch, Cuba township supervisor, has been nominated to receive the Antioch Township Republican club's 1969 ELLAphant award at their day-long Republican Jamboree at the Brae Loch Country club on Wednesday, June 11.
