The first ball was a boxing glove and the first bat was an old broom. It was great fun for a large group of Rotarians and guests to hear Bill Veeck last Thur­ sday. The smiling Irishman, Bob O'Neill, brought Veeck to our midst as he has brought other celebrities in the world of sorts. Some wondered how come Bill Veeck could spare time from his busy schedule to come out to the boondocks. Maybe Bill is a little smarter than other big wheels. He wants people to come to his ball park. Veeck was full of stories about his years in baseball and was the kind of speaker you could listen to for another hour without getting tired -- unless you got tired from laughing. Veeck is just one helluva guy. A regular fellow -- and to meet him is to like him. He made friends in McHenry. Would you believe? Clyde Blackwell is 86 years young. You would never believe it to see him stride down the street. He wants a picture of me riding my pony. Wonder what he has up his sleeve? Riding through the country we get the idea that a lot of corn will be knee high the Fourth of July. 'Twas a beautiful day Saturday for 150 golfers to tee off at Chapel Hill Country Club. It was the 4th Annual Joe Frett Day. A year ago it was raining pitchforks in McHenry while the Joe Frett friends had clear clear skies. Lloyd Freund said it best when he decided that "Uncle Joe" was watching down from above and wouldn't let it rain to spoil the day. With Marie Oeffling at the helm, those Community Club gals served us one darn fine meal in the evening. Harry Caray says you can't beat fun at the old ball park. Could add you can't beat sitting down to a home cooked meal. Harry May stepped to the microphone and showed how to get a program rolling. crowd in the park Thursday night to enjoy a big time band in a small community. Bob Freund has assembled a group of outstanding musicians. He also had a vocalist named Dave Walsh entertain last week. Dave is not a relative of the local Walsh clan where vocalizing has never been a claim to fame. Guess we liked him because we could understand the words he tossed into the mike. It is wonderful to hear Happy Father's Day once a year. King for a day! The Queen takes command again tomorrow. Baseball is a game designed for diamonds, not courts. SUDDEN THOUGHTS - How come a shoe lace always breaks when you are in a big hurry? WOMEN'S SOFTBALL LEAGUE By Katie Gende The Women's Softball League is going into its fifth game of the season. We have two new teams this year which have added more competition to the League. One of these teams, Brake Parts, is un­ defeated with 4 games under their belts. Last week's games included Hennegan's Pub beating Pistakee Ladies Golf League Ethel Broderick was the super star who showed the Thursday Ladies League how the game should be played. She birdied that long monster no. 9 to card a 46 low gross. Those 14 putts helped, but it was just beautiful playing by a beautiful gal. Our Pres. Bernice Dolce and Yvonne Matt tied with Ethel to win the days event of low putts. Yvonne is happy that her game is so much improved. Even though she is so busy overseeing the restoring of the barn on beautiful Cresent Bay, she is playing more, which helps. The more you play the better you score. Ask Pat Barber! Libby Johnson was on the putting green canning them in like duck soup. Her Doc. says to wait a few weeks before playing a round, but she's out there practicing. Helps your tan too. Not me though.

This will have close co-operation and active assistance of Duke Haven and the Illinois Conservation Commission, the Garcia Corporation of Teaneck, New Jersey. Garcia is the world's largest fishing tackle company. Garcia will bring some of their famous line of fishing tackle and lures. Textbook for the fishing portion of the seminar will be "How to Catch Fish in Fresh Water" and "Fishing Tackle and Techniques". The Instruction of Gun Safety and Hunting will be personal; targets and game birds will be plentiful. We will teach gun care and storage, range and field safety, and shooting skills of shotguns. We'll have actual shooting with the shotgun at targets and, finally, a real bird hunt over well-trained bird dogs.

Anyone is invited to bring a wife, son,daughter, grandson, nephew, or any deserving teenager for this weekend of fun and learning in the out­ doors. The minimum age for youngsters going on the upland bird hunt should be 12 years old - but we can accept younger children in the hunter safety, target shooting and fishing portions of the SEMINAR. It is not necessary to be a member of Duke Haven Game Club. This expert instruction in the use of sporting arms and fishing tackle will add im­ mensely to the success and pleasure of a hunting or fishing trip.

LRSCC Challenge ~ at Blackhawk oil the tight 1.8 mile, sports car track, reduced the number of runs for each driver from three to two. Prizes were awarded after brief talks and everybody adjourned to the bar room -- just to make room for clearing the tables you understand. Joe Frett never forgot a friend. Friends will never forget him. McHenry won't completely lose its small town image as long as such programs as band concerts in the park continue. There was a large, relaxed The Blackhawk Challenge sponsored by the Chicago Region of the Sports Car Club of America drew 170 entrants in the Father's day event at Blackhawk Farms raceway near Rockton last Sunday. Seven of the drivers were members of the Lake Region Sports Car Club (LRSCC) that teamed as a club, competing against teams that arrived from Illinois, Wisconsin, In­ diana and Iowa. ^ Though the pre-registration and safety check began at 7 a.m., the large amount of en­ tries and the numerous, but minor mishaps in the early KENQSHA COUNTY SPEEDWAY Wilmot, Wis. NEW OPEN COMPETITION RACING SUPER MOMREDS * SPORTSMAN There were no practices or parade laps, and many drivers including the LRSCC team, walked the track prior to the driver's meeting, checking for rough areas and pylon locations. v Many drivers found three seconds added to their times as they displaced a pylon during their lap around the course. Others recorded a Did Not Finish (DNF) when they missed a maneuver or put three or more wheels off the course. Corner number six found many drivers collecting DNF's as they sped into that turn only to discover a tight group of pylons with no time to prepare their maneuver. The first set of pylons prior to corner number one cause many DNF's and a few spin-outs as the drivers found themselves at too quick a pace with little time to correct their speed. The team results will not be tallied for a week, though the results for LRSCC found Paul Musschoot with a fast time of 2:10.4 in a Corvette, followed by Ralph DeFreece with 2:24.5 in a Vega GT, Wayne Gaylord with 2:24.8 in a Triump Spitfire, Steve Smith with 2:25.9 in a Monza and Terry Gabel with 2:28.2 in a Datsun 280Z.
