V 6 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1976 TENNIS MVP-Coach Gary Gray (left) recently presented the Most Valuable Player award to Terry Reilly.

Games scheduled for Wed­ nesday, July 28: The Chalet vs. Old Bridge. Cork and Cleaver vs. House of David. Rusty Nail vs. Robino Ladd. Fireside Inn vs. McHenry Hospital. Before the regularly scheduled Fireside Inn, McHenry Hospital ballgame both teams have an earlier scheduled game to complete. This stems from a protested game'in which a runner was called out after leaving the base too soon on a flyout. The socre is 9-1 in favor of the Inn with the Hospital up to bat, a runner on second and two outs, fourth inning of play. The Rusty Nail could cinch first with a victory over Robino Ladd on Wednesday. The Chalet made that possible by winning a close game versus second place House of David. The House has not been playing the kind of ball they could and have no one to blame but themselves. Now they find themselves in a situation where •30 to'40 NOW!

The three teams tied for third all kept their hopes alive for a playoff position. The Cork and Cleaver still finds itself tied with The Chalet, a team they can not end up tied with if they want a playoff spot. The Cork's remaining two games are scheduled with the second place and first place teams. We will see how bad they want the playoffs after their next two scores. Old Bridge and The Chalet play each other in a game which will drop one team into either fourth or fifth place depending upon what the Cork does on Wednesday. Should both Old Bridge and The House win on Wednesday we would find both The Chalet and Cork and Cleaver tied for fourth. With one game remaining, the playoffs could look like this at season's end: The Rusty Nail vs. The Chalet; and House of David vs. Old Bridge. However, the Cork has already beaten the top two teams so do not count •them out. The Chalet must win both of their remaining two games just in case the Cork wins two. Old Bridge, if they lose Wednesday, may find that a tie with Cork and Cleaver is hot to their liking, the Cork has a 2 to 1 season's edge and then it would be the Bridge watching the playoffs from the stands. In any case come down to McHenry West Campus High School for some exciting 12 inch slow pitch softball. Remember, there is also one game at East Campus while three take place at West. All single games begin at 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. Pat Wirtz That old pearl diver, Bob Green, an experienced fisherman, stood up in a boat and tipped both himself and Gus Freund into 20 feet of water. Both survived. But, a fish T--H---A--T long got away. Went up to see Bill DeVries at his Wonder Lake eatin' place and watering tank, but he was playing golf with the Republicans. Bill isn't quite ready for the Western Open. Let's be patient -- one of these days he will break that 100 mark. In the crowd at Mrs. Rauen's funeral were two of her younger sisters. Emma Freund (our back door neighbor) is 93. Mrs. Will (Helen) Bishop is only 90. One thing you can say for those new White Sox uniforms ~ - with the shirts hanging out, you don't see them constantly pulling up their pants. Whenever we see those slices of cucumbers on a salad, our back starts to ache. In our days on the farm, we picked bushels of those back breakers. In the story of Youth Baseball in last Friday's issue, it was explained that the present Board of Directors plan to add one new member to the Hall of Fame each year. For those of you who asked, they are covering only the last 20 years. Should carry a dictating machine in our car. Sometimes while driving along, we think (Ya - really) of something that might fit into this column. By the time we get home it is lost. It's too late ̂ for the Democratic platform, but maybe the Republicans can promise to establish a "Weed Cutting Day" for this county. When we want to hear stories of baseball since the turn of the century, we visit John Pay ton. He remembers^jnames, dates and the whole works. It is great fun. When I entered that funeral home over there near Gagetown one night last week Vern Sundt took my straw beanie and passed it to Dan Justen. The only hat in the place. It was on the rack when departure time came, marked No. 13 and tagged for 25 cents. If those undertakers don't get you coming, they get you going. That was a wierd finish to the All-Star football game as the heavens opened up to let loose a flood. When hundreds of young spectators swarmed onto the field to swim and splash, the players headed for the dressing rooms. If there was any hope for the game being resumed, it vanished when the unruly mob tore down the goal posts. The Champion Pittsburg Steelers were too good and too well organized for the young Stars. Guess it offered further proof that you can't put a team together in three weeks. The Chicago Bulls still don't have a manager (coach) and according to some of the players the Chicago Cubs don't have one either. Of course, it is always easiest to blame the manager. Now here's a dedicated sports reporter. Pat Wirtz sent his report special delivery from Ozark, Illinois. Where the heck is Ozark? The dedication of Phase One of the McHenry County College drew a large, interested crowd Sunday afternoon. Our County College is a beauty. None of the expensive frills, but a fine example of architecture. The college has to rate as one of the most progressive developments ever to come to McHenry County. Courses are offered for everybody. With the mounting costs of education, a fully ao credited college in our owfi midst gives many young people a chance to get an educationist the lowest costs. Dr. Jim Davis, energetic president, says you can visit the school any time. Try it. You'll like it. Met John Lawrence at church Sunday and remarked about his healthy looking sun tan. Would you believe? He got some of that tan at three ball games in Kansas City where the pride of Johnsburg, Chuck Hiller, is having a great year as a coach. You can bet that Chuck has played a part in putting the old pepper in that fine ball cub. More power to you, Chuck. Since our White Sox can't win it this year, you take it.

The high adventure trail included one day of intensive training in canoe camping and six days of actual canoe camping. The boys covered a route of approximately 55 miles during the six days. Ten hours of conservation work was completed by the group which qualified all member for the Fifty Miler award. Despite the very dry weather and poor fishing, the troop had a great time canoeing, camping, swimming, and watching the abundent wildlife. One of the highlites of the trip came when an eagle was spotted on Troute Lake. At trails end, each member of the crew agreed that they felt a little clbser to nature and believed they knew their fellow, crew members better.

I Coast Guards The current Personal Flotation Device (PFD) regulations have been in effect for close to three years now, but the U.S. Coast Guard is finding many boaters that are still unaware of or confused about what they are required to have on board their boat. On boats less than 16 feet in length and all canoes and kayaks, there must be one Coast Guard-approved device for each person aboard. These can be Type I (life preserver), Type II (Buoyant vest), Type III (special purpose device), or Type IV (buoyant cushion or ring of life buoy). On boats 16 feet in length or longer there must be a wearable PFD (Types 1, II, or III) for each persongon board, plus an extra Type IV (throwable device) on board for man overboard protection. It is very important that Coast Guard-approved PFD's be purchased according to the size of the intended wearer. A child wearing an adult sized PFD may slip right out and never grow old enough to fill it. Types I and II are especially designed to turn an unconcious person face up in the watert © The smart skipper knows thaf by their very nature, manjj boating accidents render \ a person involved helpless either at the time of the mishap, or after a short time ill the chilly waters of the Great Lakes area. To insure the PFD's ar^ servicable, they should b$ periodically inspected for wear or damage. They should have no tears, no missing straps and no signs of waterlogged or compressed flotation material: Any alterations to the device by the user might render the device non-approved, and could void the designed buoyancy characteristics. Federal regulations require only the PFD's be kept aboard the boat where they are readily accessible ("immediately available" for the throwable device on boats 16 feet and over) in case of an emergency. But, the best place to keep a PFD is on. It will be there when you neet it. Into the Ring "1 heard your wife is getting into politics." said the friendly neighbor. "Yeah," sighed the beleagured husband. "She's downtown right now buying a new hat to throw into the ring!
