f /-V Jake's Comes From Behind And Husly Nail Also Shines Tuesday playoffs included two close, tension packed games as Jerry's Phillip 's 66 lost a heartbreaker 11 to 10 < the tying and winning runs stranded on base in the last half of the seventh) to Jake's Dead End Ixwnge while Swanson Chalet fell short to an overpowering Rusty Nail hitt ing attack 12 to 9 Jake'sDead End Lounge 122 302 1-11 Phillip 's 66 422 100 110 Swanson Chalet Rustv Nail 100 312 2- 9 630 012 x-12 Phillip 's 66 bowed out of the 1974 baseball season as Jake's continues into the final championship series. Rusty Nail and Swanson Chalet will battle each other Thursday, Aug. 15 to see who meets the undefeated Jake's ball club Swanson Chalet scored their first run on what looked like a big inning, however, center fielder Len Ackermann cut down a runner at the plate to end the top of the inning. The bottom half of the first saw all 10 Rusty Nail batters come to bat with 7 of them getting hits. A play from center to second to home cut down one man while a lineout double play ended what could have been an even bigger inning. Rusty Nail put across three more runs in the second as Gary Busse and Gary Miller hit for their second time in the game. The Chalet, after leaving two runners stranded on base in the second and third innings, finally started to drive some of the runners in as Bob Freund drove in Rick Vycital, who had singled and an error brought in two more in the fourth. In the fifth a double by Bill Blankenhorn and Paul Adams' second single combined for another Chalet run. A double play ended the inning and Rusty Nail came back with a run on Kevin Bauer's second hit , a double and Bill Rassmussen's single. Both teams scored two runs in the sixth, the Chalet on Bob Freund's two run homer and the Nail on Gary Schmitt 's third straight single, Dennis Schmitt 's second double and Gary Busse's third hit of the game. Bill Rudolph opened the final inning with a single, his second hit of the contest, and with two out Paul Adams tripled him in An error brought in Adams but with Uyo on the last batter popped out to end the game. It should be mentioned here that Bill Blankenhorn, playing third base, was responsible for starting two key double plays, a fine credit to the Chalet 's defense. Meanwhile Jake's were playing an inspired Phillip 's 66 team. Manager Jerry Bellak made some defensive changes in his l ineup and together with 3 '66 homeruns nearly overcame the first place Jake's team. Jerry Bellak hit a three run homer in the first inning and a 2 run homer in the third. Ed Pustari hit a solo homerun in the fifth while Jeff Wendt 's triple in the second was the key hit in that inning for Phillip 's. Norb Adams went four for four and pitched a good game. For the winners Steve George and Joe Dehn both went 3 for 3 driving in 3 runs apiece. George hit two homeruns while Dehn had a double and a homerun. Frank Hovseth and Dave Schaefer added 2 hits each, Hovseth driving across two runs. Greg Freund, Jake's leading hitter all year could manage only a triple in four at bats. Jake's, playing not only under the pressure of an undefeated season, but playing catchup baseball , showed the poise of a championship team in coming from behind twice in the game in winning their 18th straight of the season.

In bygone days newspapers often selected a military hero or glamorous figure and built him up to the public as an idol and helped elect him to high office. Sometimes the selected leader made utterances in behalf of the common man and the people's interest when he was actually in­ debted and obligated to backers with more conservative interests. In more recent decades, the newspaper editorial has lost some of its former role in national elections. The working press, reporters, commentators and columnists have be­ come a greater influence in shaping public opinion--both because they are at it daily and bec ause they have tended to become more interpretative--especially on television. The manipulating of politicians in the past two years has been clearly evident in Watergate reporting. The major newspapers and networks of the country being liberal or left-inclined, they have repeatedly championed the politi­ cian crucial to their cause. Feature treatment-pictures, putting words in his or her mouth, has been the method. Television commentators select their favorites to quote,to interview, to report on, etc. The astute reader or viewer can detect the manipulation, but millions cannot. And when the manipulation is in a popular direction, many do not wish to recognizee it as such. However, it is important to the future of the nation that the majority realize that the three television networks and the most influential national dailies are able to influence or manipulate Congressmen and other politicians, even judges, with concentrated campaigns or crusades--and do.

Among his survivors are three brothers, Frank J. , Jr. , Michael P., Thomas J.; and one sister, Mary C., all of McHenry; and his grandparents, Walter J . and Olive Freund, McHenry. There will be private visitation and burial with arrangements made by Peter M. Justen and Son funeral home. The famous Liberty Bell, symbol of our freedom, will be 222 years old this month. There were actually four liberty bells cast, two in England mid two in Philadelphia. The original purpose of purchasing a liberty bell was to cele­ brate the 15th anniversary of William Perm's granting a charter to the Quark r City. Isaac Norris, speaker of the Pennsylvania Colonial As­ sembly, ordered the first liberty bell from Lester and Peck of London. His instructions to the bell makers were that the following words, shaped in large letters round it, should be put on the bell: "By order of the Assembly of the Prov­ ince of Pennsylvania, for the State House in the City of Philadelphia, 1752." Below was to be: "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof. Lev. XXV: 10." The bell was delivered in August of 1752 and the local committee was completely satisfied except for one thing. When it was set up in the ward to try its tone and carrying quality, "it was cracked by a stroke of the clapper without any other violence." Charles Stow and John Pass of Philadelphia were com­ missioned to recast the bell. They believed that the old bell was too brittle, so they added more copper to the mix­ ture, with a resulting tone that did not please the purchasers. Stow and Pass cast a third bell, which turned out to be our famous liberty bell, for which they were paid about $303. The bell weighed a little over2,000 pounds, and measured twelve feet in circumference around the lip. This is the bell that pealed forth on July 8th, 1776. This is the bell hidden in the straw in a wagon and removed from Philadel­ phia until the British had evacuated the city.

Although tree and shrub forms are known to exist , poison ivy (Rhus radicans) typically grows as a vine. Quite adaptable to a wide variety of environmental conditions, poison ivy vines often grow for many years becoming several inches in diameter and woody. The beast may run along the ground, or plan an aerial assault by growing up trees and shrubs. Attaching itself to tree trunks by means of slender aerial rootlets, old vines often '"bl" lmf n' . ipee of cm). Vote th.it nil l ' - i r i^ts nor loaf, cocmon type found. bo obr.orved displaying appear like ravelled pieces of rope Unfortunately, Rhus radicans is not an unattractive plant On the contrary, the brill iant red fall color of the foliage, and waxy, white, berry-like fruit , present throughout much of the winter, are both highly ornamental Do not be deceived by the siren's call A friend of mine once popped a berry or two into his mouth, and was hospitalized for three weeks His entire throat blistered, for the first seven days, the poor fellow was fed intraveinously Identification of poison ivy is most easily accomplished by the leaves. Although the foliage is quite variable in shape, each leaf is always composed of three 'eaflets. When in doubt about identification, avoid contact with the suspect plant Initial susceptibili ty to poison ivy varies greatly Research has shown that immunity appears to be only relative. Repeated contact with the vine inevitably leads to poisoning. The chemical responsible for all the scratching is, for the chemists among you, a non­ volatile phenolic substance called urushiol. Contained in all parts of the plant roots, stems, and le?ves - only a very small amount of the poisonous material is required to cause severe inflamation of the skin Many agents may serve to carry the toxin to unsuspecting persons Contaminated clothing, cats, dogs, and garden i tools have all been shown capable of transmitting urushiol Even smoke from burning plants car? carry the poison Season too is no obstacle Although chances of infection are greatest during the spring and summer when the leaves are present yours truly once got a dandy case from contact with the stems in February Control - eradication of poison ivy plants may be readily obtained by spraying with either of the common herbicides 2,4 D, or silvex A word of warning: Weed killers must fx- used with extreme caution Always read and follow the manufacturer 's directions to the letter Wanton application inevitably leads to damage of desirable ornamental plants.
