(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Algonquin Old Timers Baseball Team Plays Aug. 4, Then Retire A chance to turn back the clock to those thrilling days of yesteryear will happen on Aug. 4, in Algonquin. It will be recalled that back in 1924 the great Babe Ruth batted in 46 home runs for the New York Yankees while the Chicago Cub's Gabby Hartnett knocked in 16 four baggers. As thrilling as those great feats of the Kings of Baseball, here in the village of AW gonquin that very same year, we witnessed the birth of a baseball team that was to continue to be outstanding and grow in stature for fifty years. "EASY CARE" HAIR CUTS FOR gals on the go • Layer Cuts • Shags • Naturals $10.00 JANE'S 385-7771 That was the year the Algonquin Indians came into being, and a few short years later the name was changed to Algonquin's own. Year after year they were the most winning team up and down the Fox River Valley. Such great teams as Wayne, Elgin Cubs, Dundee Peerless, Bohemia, Wheaton KCs, Johnsburg, Elgin Orioles, Elgin National, St. Charles Loom, Gilberts, Marengo, Cary Indians, Woodstock, Crystal Lak^e, Kellers Jewelers and Richmond were just a few teams to meet defeat at the hands of this driving force. A few of the famous who made this great team possible would read like the Who's Who of baseball. Simonini, Boyd, Blanken, Mavis, Hopp, a few who made the big leagues, yet many others included Bangert, Schuett, Hepfinger, H. Hopp, Ray Moehle, Liebert, Richardson, Dennis, Joe and Bill Simonini, Kublank, Joe Barta, LaBahn, Ritt, Zalesky, Dahn, Schultz Bros., H. Rohrssen, on and on the list / would read.

"EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. Some notes that we didn't report previously are: There were 115 golfers - more at the dinner. Approximately $2000 was raised for the school. Paul Overton shot a 76 for low gross and first place trophy. And, Wow! That was a big trophy Ted Spengel won the long drive contest with a 275 yard shot. Jim Althoff won the blind bogey with a net score of 85. Looks like McHenry golfers came on strong. Until Joe Etten dropped in a couple of days ago, we didn't know that Mary is back in the hospital at Woodstock. Things aren't the same without those phone conversations with our White Sox pal. Bob Hope's no monkey business talk on July 4th was food for thought and inspirational for any true American. Bill Melton, Sox third baseman, must have found an old bottle of geritol the way he has snapped out of his slump and started to smash the ball. PICKUP - "The Pain That Lasts Is Not The Pain You Suffer, But The Pain You Cause." -The Lutheran Digest This will be a whoop-de-do week in McHenry as we lead up to the big Marine-Festival Day. From the amount of traffic last weekend, we wondered if a lot of people hadn't arrived a week early. Wearing an old, drab outfit one day, we met Clyde Blackwell dressed in the latest fashion. Did he look sharp! ^luess we are going to have to perk up to keep up with that young fellow. A man consulted a doctor. "I've been misbehaving, Doc, and my conscience^ is troubling me," he complained. "And you want something that will strengthen your willpower? asked the doctor. "Well, no," said the fellow. "I was thinking of something tliat would weaken my conscience." yesteryear will live again on Sunday, Aug. 4, with the celebration of its golden anniversary of this long and famous ball club, with the Old Timers being challenged by that famous Algonquin American Legion team of 1938 who.that year placed 2nd in the Illinois State championships at Peoria, being kept from 1st place by Berwyn, whom they went on and defeated the Sunday after the state championship by a fantastic score. So it looks to be a bitter fight, as the Algonquin Old Timers are fitting up the bats, gloves and balls after the game. They all will retire and ring down the curtain and disband, leaving the game to the younger set. Tubby, who has the best record of any pitcher coming from this area, a 39-1 in 1938 which in itself will stand for a long time, will throw out the first pitch, and if his legs are strong enough after his recent operation may finish the inning with such younger members taking the places of the starters, as the Wilbrandts, the Broederdorf Bros., Art and Bob, Judson, Banchak the Zanges, Charvat just to name a few. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m. with the festivities starting at noon in the village of Algonquin's park. Something will be going on all afternoon. Over 100 prizes will be awarded as tne great birthday farewell of 50 years of old time baseball in Algonquin. Monday, Aug. 5 has been set aside as liniment and muscle aching day. But the evening of the 4th will witness the rehashing of the days of yore, which will be the farewell and disbanding party at the Legion home for the players and ex-players. Yes, Sunday, Aug. 4 will be a day to remember, and as our southern friends would say y'ull come.

Chances are, this will not happen if the waves have no whitecaps. Instead, your stern will simply rise up a<nd let the wave slide under it, then settle down as the back slope of the wave passes. If you go faster than the waves, though, you're asking for trouble. Your boat will ride up the back of the wave until it reaches the crest...then race down the front of the wave with all the power and speed of both the boat's momentum and the wave's force. The bow will plunge straight and deep into a solid mass of water until it goes under. With the speed and boat's weight behind, the bow struggles to get back up. If it doesn't, you will founder. 1 M.C.C. Dee Overton July 2 was the 1st round of Club Champion Match, with 45 gals playing a championship, 1st and a 2nd Flight of 16 each.
