Nobody could recall those days better than Dona'd Givens. He worked for the Unti family for many years Besides that. Donald has a memory that covers early McHenry like few people can Like the Old Accordian Man, Donald plays those memory chords like nobody can NICEST REPLY "Who comes more often than I do'" "Who could be more welcome?" With a local touch: Paul Rabe. Senior graduate dt Woodstock High was chosen Most valuable tennis player by the 77 '78 varsity team Paul is a nephew ol the late Loren "Tommy"' Thomas and Adrian Thomas of McHenry. His parents are Vernon and Jean 1 Thomas > Kabe Loren "Tommy"' was one of McHenry High s all-time best lootball players Adrian played guard on McHenry s county cham­ pionship team back in 1925 when they defeated Hebron 22 to 19 He sank all of McHenry s free throws -- 4 "Zeke" Bacon, "Torchy" Krause, Dick Overton. Gus Freund and Jesse Whiting were on that famous team When Sib Whiting was injured and unable to play, McHenry fans thought our chances were mighty slim. But. the old spirit carried the team on to victory A county championship in those days was something great Latest figures show that home run production in the big leagues is down this year. Some batters say the ball has been deadened since last year. Pitchers say their skill was improved Take your pick PICKUPS: Today is the day we should do things before it is too late. Talk is cheap -- unless somebody hauls you into court. Talking too much is dangerous enough without talking out of turn. Tis said Mark Twain once wrote on the envelope of a letter addressed to his wife: "Opened by mistake to see what was inside."

Crystal Lake Rd., McHenry 385-0420 Tuesday's Games Rained out Games scheduled for Tuesday night were rained out and rescheduled It was the first rainout of the season. The first game between Hiller's and Sunnyside will be played Thursday as the third game. The second game, originally scheduled for Tuesday night between Johnsburg Tavern and Coppermine, will be played Tuesday, June 27. It will be the third game of the evening First Round Play Nearly Complete As the seasonreaches the halfway mark and with All-Star balloting rapidly approaching, following is a listing of the players enjoying fine seasons and with a chance of being voted to the all-star squad First Base Rick Wakitsch of Old Bridge is the leading candidate for all star first baseman He is currently leading the league in hitting with a 560 mark Marty Conway of Fox Hole is also off to a fine start His .450 batting average and fine fielding is one of the reasons Fox Hole is undefeated Second Base Fox Hole's Twig Miller sports a crisp .500 batting average, with an on base percentage that is even higher Batting leadoff. Miller is the key to Fox Hole's offensive attack. Ted Freund of Johnsburg Tavern has gotten off to a fast start is currently hitting 500. Freund is extremely reliable in clutch situations. Short Center Fox Hole's Dick Meyers may be a unanimous choice to start at short centerfield in the all- star game Meyers is currently second in the league in hitting and first in runs batted in. Although injured, Wayne Hiller of Johnsburg Tavern will be a candidate for short cen terfield in the all-star game Hiller is leading Johnsburg tavern in hitting with a .526 mark, third best in the league Shortstop Chuck Marke of Coppermine is batting 500 and is the leading candidate for all-star shortstop Tom Hurkes got off to a fast start as did the entire Fox Hole team and will get many votes at shortstop Hurkes is presently hitting 455 Third Base Hautzinger's Vern Peterson is currently hitting 455 and is a major reason Hautzinger is presently in second place. Dave Smith of Fox Hole equals Peterson's mark of .455 and will be a valuable asset to the Fox Hole in the second round if he continues to hit at that pace Catcher v Jerry Brodin of Hautzinger currently leads all catchers in battin average Brodin is hit­ ting .476, and recently blasted two homeruns over the fence in the same game. Old Bridge catcher Steve Rohrer has a batting average of 444 and is a top RBI-getter for the Old Bridge club Pitcher Dave Oeffling of Cop­ permine, Denny Smith. Fox Hole, and Greg Freund of the Old Bridge, all will receive votes in the all-star balloting Oeffling is presently hit ting 467. Smith is batting 455 and has pitched his team to first place, while Freund is hitting 444. while helping the Bridge hang onto third place. Outfield Joe Dehn of Old Bridge leads all outfielders with a batting average of 542, third in the league Dehn also ranks high in the league in runs, hits, and RBI's Dick Kazlausky is enjoying a fine season at the plate and is presently fifth in the league in hitting with a .522 mark. He also ranks high in other of­ fensive categories Tom Les of Old Bridge is batting 440 and is tied for the league lead in runs scored Les is also tied for the league lead in homeruns The all-star team will be chosen by league managers and coaches after the players cast their ballots. In choosing, individual fielding will also be a priority.
