Four other men had hats on the rack Usually our lid rests alone H - We sat down at a table near Gary and Cheryl Lock wood and right away Gary asked, "When was the last time a Sox pitcher hurled a no-hitter9" Never a doubt as the champs roll on to a 14-0 victory These Cub fans are hard to live with since Burt Hoot on got that no-hitter Over 20.000 fans are in stands on their way to American League pennant the the There is a ceremony --spirit. Told our wife they probably wouldn't lose any more games this season. She thinks we exaggerate' (Of course,she's a CUb fan from way back in the Gabby Hartnett - Charlie Grimm days .) We countered with, "When was the last time the Cubs won a pennant9" Gary is too young to remember As the young people would say, 'The Sax are with it." They have a pretty, young gal march out to the mound on the arm of wner John Alyn and, after getting rid of a dozen photographers, threw the first ball. None other than Dianne Holum, Olympic speedskater.

All went well until he told them who the speaker of the evening would be -- Chuck Tanner, manager of the White Sox. We last a friend this week when Harry Conway was called from this earth. He had friends galore -- the kind of a fellow you like to see coming your way. Heaven will be brighter with Harry Conway St. Patrick's Day won'tbe the same for us. Lee wanted our help so we said we would picket the place if they didn't cooperate Lee liked the idea and left the phone laughing. Stock Car Racing Up come the Sox. Brush off the plate and clear the base paths. There'll be scoring tonight. SUDDEN THOUGHT - The City of McHenry will have a booth at the Chamber of Commerce business and in­ dustry exposition May 6-7 at Parkland School. If any of you readers have old pictures of McHenr>, it would be nice to loan them for the occasion. Or, any other item of interest would help. Mark them, of course, so they will be returned to you.

Crown traveled to McCracken field with 9 meets under their belts already as they whipped the Warriors 91-36. Although the Warriors lost there were some fine individual performances on the blustery day. John Diedrich Senior 880 man won his event as he breezed home with a 2:09.4. Brian Haley won the 2 mile with a time of 10:20.3, and Rick Freund won the pole vault with a vault of 11 ft. 6 in. Thursday the Warriors traveled to North Chicago as they won their first meet of the season defeating their host and Woodstock in the triangular meet. The Warriors scored 60 points as their opponents scored 57V2 and 39V2 points respectively. The Warriors took firsts in the 880, where John Diedrich paced the field; the 440 yard dash, as Cory Nellis won with a time of 53.0 seconds; Warrior Smith won the mile; Rick Freund the pole vault, Mark Bentz the shot put <47*4*2"); Dennis Hovseth the discus; the Warrior Mile relay team took the honors in as the team of Mauch, Diedrich, Muerer and Nellis led the field. Saturday marked the com­ pletion erf a tough week for the Orange and Black as they traveled the road to Oswego, Illinois to compete in an 8 team open meet. The Warriors finished 5th in the field, although the team effort left something to be desired. In­ dividual performances by Rick Freund in the pole vault (1st place), Dennis Hovseth in discus (2nd place) and the mile relay team of Muerer,.Mauch, Nellis, and Diedrich (1st place) highlighted the afternoon. Warrior Frosh-Soph cin- dermen also opened their season last week as they lost to Crown 86-41 and were nipped by Woodstock by 4 a point. The Streaks scored 60*2 to 60 for the Warriors and 34!2 for the host Warhawks.

In the warm sunshine of the friendly confines of McCracken Field the Warriors jumped on Woodstock pitching for 8 hits and 6 runs in the first four in­ nings ctf play. Four Warriors hit safely three times as they raised their season averages. The victory was the first for the Orange and Black in con­ ference play this season and their fifth straight as they pushed their season record to 5- 1.
