PAGE 6 - PLAINDE ALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8,1973 EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ McHenry Shamrocks Still Bid For State NIAB Title How did we ever live without air conditioning? Maybe the same way we lived with coal stoves, wood burners, horse and buggy transportation, model T Fords, hand pushed lawn mowers, buttef hung down in the well to keep it cool, wash boards, fleece lined long underwear, radio and T.V. Nowadays they refer to a pitcher's speed as velocity. That's like the way they changed every germ to a virus. The way batting averages have fallen in the big leagues, the hitters may have to form a separate union to have the rules changed. The Shamrocks came from behind to beat Freeport in their first game of the State tour­ nament by a score of 6-5. Beloit's powerful team put the Shamrocks in place, beating them 11-3. This put the "Rocks" in the losing bracket of the double-elimination tour­ nament. They played Earlville Sunday night to beat them 5-2. This puts McHenry in the tournament with Beloit, Rock- ford Blackhawks. and Freeport. McHenry will face the Blackhawks Wednesday at 8:00 at Blackhawk park in Rock ford. The Shamrocks faced Freeport Saturday morning. They scored an unearned run in the first and 3 runs in the third. The Shamrocks got lazy and Freeport came back in the seventh to tie it up when Stahlman gave up 3 unearned runs and 2 hits. Then in the eighth, Freeport scored again to knock Stahlman out of the box. Salter retired the side and in the bottom of the ninth Rusty Zick hit a triple with a man on and the third baseman left the ball skid past him on the throw to third. This gave Zick the opportunity to score the win­ ning run. When McHenry faced Beloit they were simply outclassed. Beloit scored one in the third 5 in the fourth, 3 in the sixth, and 2 in the seventh. McHenry scored in the fourth and 2 in the fifth but failed to score after the fifth to give Beloit the win after 7 due to the 8 run rule. With a good rest, McHenry faced Earlville. McHenry scored once in the second when Rohrer singled and Jackson singled. A passed-ball gave Rohrer a chance to score. In the third Thurhoffer led off with a single and Pokorny got a base hit. Two wild pitches scored both Thurnhoffer and Pokorny before Rogers singled. This gave the Shamrocks all they needed to give Rusty Zick the win and Fultz the loss. Come out to Rockford and cheer your exciting McHenry Shamrock team to victory.

But, Sunday we saw a flock of home runs. The health experts tell us to eat fish, cheese and eggs. We can't win. Cheese and eggs are cholesterol no-no foods. Fish are our dish once a week. How about corn flakes? MCHENRY AREA INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE 12 INCH SOFTBALL In Thursday night action Swanson Chalet and Brake Parts slugged it out as both teams combined for 52 hits and 37 runs. The first place Chalet ended up on top by a final score of 19-18. Earlier in the season Brake Parts lost to the Chalet by 3-2 and 2-1 scores and the rematch was another even game. The lead switched hands 6 different times as Brake Parts drew first blood in the second inning with 3 runs, including a 2 run homer by Heir. In the bottom of the second, Swanson's Paul Adams led off with his first homerun of the night, followed by 3 more runs as the Chalet took the lead 4-3. Brake Part bats boomed in the third as 6 runs crossed the plate climaxed by Mike Betaneourt's two run homer as they retook the lead, 9-4. The Chalet promptly added 9 runs of their own in the bottom of the third and the score after 3 in­ nings was 13-9 with the Chalet on top. Big blow in the inning was Gary Snell's 3 run homer. Never to be outdone Brake Parts continued to narrow their deficit with 2 in the 4th, 1 in the 5th and finally took over the lead once again as they scored 4 runs in the 6th inning. Ryan, Habich, and Lindquist each homered-Ryan with a man on to put Brake Parts on top 16-14. The Chalet never gave in as Paul Adams and Gary Snell hit back to back homeruns to tie the score and Bob Freund and Randy Arseneau scored their third runs of the game to give the Chalet a two run lead. The score was tied up in the top half of the 7th with two Brake Parts runs on 3 hits. After Fields, Chalet pitcher, retired Habich on a routine fly to center for the 3rd out, he proceeded to start a rally by singling to left, followed by Paul Adams' 3rd hit, a single and an intentional pass to Gary Snell loading the bases with no outs. Ken Alshouse went in to pinch run for Fields and scored on a long fly to left hit by Bob Freund. Randy Arseneau and Bob Freund both went 4 for 4 while Ed Raske, Paul Adams and Gary Snell had 3 hits each for Swanson's. Adams and Snell each hit 2 homeruns while Snell added a triple in a big night at the plate. In a losing effort Betancourt homered twice as did Ryan for Brake Parts. Davis, Prazak, Bolt and Lundquist each hit safely 3 times. That final again- Swanson Chalet 19 - Brake Parts 18. sday: McHenry Hospital split with the second place Lakers, losing 11-7 and taking the second 3-2. The Rusty Nail took two from The Group 16-9 and 10- 4, as they pulled themselves out of last place. Long hair looks mighty hot these summer days. But, that's not one of our worries. We thought football and hockey were the rough games. How about all the injuries in baseball? SIGNS OF FALL-- Football. Fall clothes advertised. (Such thoughts with it 89 degrees hot in.White Sox Park). Did we mention ̂ bat the ever popular Don Hoene'svhit town last week? Bob Adams took him under his wing and brought him to a Rotary Meeting. We are not saying a thing about the company Don keeps but his ready smile makes him welcome to McHenry and to any crowd. July 24th found a skeleton crew to play as several of the members had been invited to McHenry to partake of their fun, food and refreshments. However, those attending shot for low net: Class "A" Edie Nimsgren Class "B" Phyllis Afeld Class "C" Sherry Patterson July 31st was the last day of our team participation. Longhorn gave a valiant effort to move up , but even 7 points could not help very much as Du-Ro Duffers scored 6 points to maintain first place and take low net for the day. Sylvia Swett hit the flag and dropped into the cup for par on No. 18. August 7 starts our 3 weeks of low net tournament and the gals must play all 3 weeks in order to qualify. Final Team Standing: 1.

McHenry Flora 22 A profound philosphy of life is reflected in the reply of the sailor who, when asked what he had done with his pay, said, "Part went for liquor and part for women. The rest I spent foolishly." Wisconsin's nonresident fishing licenses have been upped from $6.50 to $12.50 starting Aug. 5, 1973. Now you will catch some fish! SENIOR BASEBALL Elmer Glosson (one of those Cub fans) doesn't think there will be a World Series in Chicago this year. Wonder where he gets that idea? Famous comedian Joe E. Lewis once said, "Show mfi a man with both feet oii the ground and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants on." Most people today, when trying to figure out their cost of living take their salary and add thirty percent. 15-ELEPHANTS-15 CLYDE BEATTY'S WILD ANIMALS PRESENTED BY CAPT.

No sir! We wouldn't do such a thing. A TV shot showed Chuck Hiller coaching third base for the Texas Rangers and Harry Caray made it plain that Chuck hails from Johnsburg--not McHenry. A lot of people turned out to see the Ranger sensation, David Clyde, pitch the second game. David is 18 years old, just out of high school. Looks like he will be a great one.

LADIES SOFTBALL Tuesday, July 31, 1973 the Ed's Rental team had a big big win over the First National bank team. The two teams have a 6 win 1 loss record, which makes them tied for first place. The final score for the night was Ed's Rental 14 and First National, 4. The one loss each team has was against each other. There will be a play-off at a later date to see who is No. 1.

Correction on the score it was 14 for Ed's Rental and 3 for First National bank. Mary Sue Parker also had two doubles, with four at bats. A bleak and chilly start that turned out to be warm and sunny was the weather picture at Indian Lakes Golf courses in Bloomingdale, 111. that brought happiness and trophies to a fine contingency of McHenry women golfers this past week. On Wednesday, Aug. 1 three young lassies representing McHenry participated in the Junior Boy-Girl-Best-Ball tournament. They were Pam Spengel, Mary O'Connell and Toni Weber. This tournament, sponsored by N.I.M.A.G.A. and N.I.W.A.G.A., brought together young lads and lassies from the entire Mid-West-Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. A beginner to golf and in her first tournament, 14 year old Toni Weber teamed with Andy King of DeKalb to win the one-day event with a net of 69. Toni's trophy will be on display for the next several days in McHenry C.C. pro shop where proud pappa Warren will undoubtedly be guarding it and lecturing on the joys of fatherhood. On Thursday and Friday the girls were on their own, par­ ticipating in the Junior Division of N.I.W.A.GA.A the fourth year for this junior division, under the sponsorship of the senior women. Again Toni put herself in the limelight by shooting a net of 156 for the two- day event. Come to think of it, there will be two trophies for Pappa to guard. Modesty enhanced the sparkle in Toni's blue eyes as she commented, "I don't think it's fair to win two trophies when some girls didn't win any." SENIOR DIVISION Representing our local club in the 12th Annual Senior Divison of N.I.W A G.A were the following ladies: M. Bisshoff, L. Busscher, N. Fidler, M. Leisten, L. Michaels, L. Nolan, F. O'Connell, D. Overton, V. Turner and A. Yopp. Playing on heavily trapped and challenging courses (both the Iroquois and Sious courses were played) McHenry ladies made a fine showing. Participating in Championship Flight, Marilyn Bisshoff won the low putts trophy with a total of 64 putts for the two days. Very nice putting on greens that were both large and difficult to read. Third Flight produced three McHenry winners when Floss O'Connell walked away with first place, followed closely by Vi Turner in second place and Dee Overton in fourth place. Fourth Flight brought forth two more McHenry gals as winners when Nell Fidler eased out the other contenders to win first place and Liz Nolan captured fifth place.

The Pony Show finally had to be postponed to the following Saturday. The Sunday Horse Show started through the donated time and effort of our residents and businessmen. Thanks to everyone's time and perserverence, the show was a huge success. We hope to have greatly improved our arena and entry stand for the Aug. 18- 19 show. The Grand Chairman for the Horse Fair is Mr. John Thompson of Spring Grove. He invites everyone to come out and enjoy the events of the day. Follow the Horse Fair signs to the Spring Grove Elementary School. Take Route 12 to Spring Grove, about 50 miles north of Chicago.

The local nine was clearly mismatched as is evidenced by the fact that Lake-in-the-Hills was not beaten on the field during conference play this summer. The season, as a whole, was a success since McHenry won 9 and lost 5 gameg to tie for second place in the standings.
