STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLOED SPORTS All Age Groups Ready For Sunday Marathon "EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR How not to write a column. Fall asleep in your big chair, wake up at midnight too sleepy to write -- so go to bed hoping to make the deadline the next morning. The wheels of thought may not be working too smoothly, but the show must go on--- Boy! When those White Sox win, they don't fool around. Before sleep overcame me last night, I watched them trample the Baltimore Orioles 12 to 4. The night before Baltimore beat them 6-0. It's the pitching that tells the story. There must be a dozen products on the air described as "What the doctors recommend most." I'm confused. Wish those doctors would get together. People constantly talk about our city growing too fast, especially those who like the small town atmosphere. The natives liked McHenry as it used to be. Those who moved from the big city to get to a small town are worried that they will soon be in another big city with traffic problems and what have you. Then there is another group that says we must have progress. Most of those are younger and can handle the whirl of events without too much difficulty. The best conclusion I have heard is to find a location you like -• then move 25 miles farther away. One time a man was being praised to the skies, saying that he wouldn't do "such things". The speaker went on to say the man was "too fine, too noble". Came a loud whisper from the rear of the room, "And too old". After calling McHenry a right turn town many times, it was good to read Officer Jim Fitzgerald's recent comments about making a right turn and going around the block rather than get clobbered trying to cross a highway or turn left. Officer Jim turns out good reading. Must ask him about the rules of passing on the right side on a two-lane street such as Green St. where it crosses Elm. Some drivers get in a hurry and get in a bind. Just heard that Percy Lodtz, a McHenry native, died this week. He didn't mind telling the tricks he pulled as a boy growing up in McHenry. When Percy was elected Police Magistrate in Crystal Lake. I reminded him that the young lads couldn't put anything over on him. The ranks of McHenry Old Timers are thinning. Too fast. Haven't heard any details from the committee so far this year, but understand the an­ nual Joe Frett Memorial Golf Day is planned for June 26. Hope they send me in­ formation for the next issue.

The boy and his bike completed the endurance run that included a minor pit stop to repair a gear. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Somebody told him, "The newspaper won't be in­ terested". But the Plaindealer told 10- year-old Matt Roy of 1705 Cassandra lane they would use his story. However, there was no promise his feat, out­ standing as it was, will ever make the Guinness Book of Records. School was out and Matt and a chum were looking for something to do. Out of the conversation came the con­ clusion that a marathon type bicycle run would be just dandy. And so the two boys set out to establish some kind of record. Up and down Cassandra lane, a dead-end thoroughfare off Lincoln road, the two boys pedaled on. But after three hours and some heckling. Matt's pal gave up the ride. "They were pickin' on him", said Matt, who continued stoically at his wearisome assignment. Only once in the seven hours and 35 minutes did he stop when the cycle's gears gave some trouble. "But that was only a second", Matt assured the reporter. "I ate my luncheon on the bike too. All this as the terperature climbed near the 90 degree mark Friday morning. Matt deserved his day in print! DIVOT DOLLS M.C.C. With the sun and the breeze basking th^m in each stroke, the team of Nolan, Reihansperger, Christiansen and Shadel took first place in the one-day ABCD Team event on Tuesday the 12th Using two best balls of four they netted 128. Following close behind with 129 was the team of Yopp, M. Smith. Rode and Weakman. In third place with 130 was the team of O'Connell. Leight, MacDonald and Dolce: and. in fourth place with 131 was the team of Freund, Hatch. Remke and Warfield. It was a beautiful day for such an event, a lot of close team spirit and much joy for the winners. Nothing untoward or ludicrous was reported for the day. No birdies were posted. A couple of chip-ins - Jean Napier on no. 18 and Evie Castle on no. 4. Faye Stewart reported having her best round ever which gave her low net of 72 in Class B. In Class A Nell Fidler low netted with 71; in Class C it was Ethel Koehler with 74 and in Class D it was Dot Shadel with 67. That net 67 was one of the big contributing factors in the win for the first place team. Some sort of pattern seemed to exist in the low putting for the day since the leader in each class putted only 30 putts apiece. In Class A it was Liz Nolan, in Class B a tie between Marilyn Riehansperger and Irene Kinneman. in Class C Ethel Koehler and in Class D Kitty Evans. Kitty routinely seems to score low putts. In reporting last week's events complete details had not l>een gathered. It seems that when Jane Weiss flew over the trap on no. 1 and hit the flagstick she also knocked it out of the cup That's a lot of strength' We do have a report from the Nifty Niners this week. Their event this week was Selective Five in which they chose their best five holes out of nine. First place in Flight A was won by Gen Hoelscher while Flight B winner was Carol Wakisch. Gen also had low putts in her class while Fran Brown had low putts in Class B. Nice going, ladies Next week will find the gals qualifying for Match Play tournament which will begin the following week. They will also be involved in a Blind Partners event, and a contest for the longest drive on no. 4 in each class. On Friday, the 8th, the traveling team did it again. They journeyed to Barrington where they took five and a half of the nine points from the Thunderbird gals. They're dreaming of a no-loss season and seem well on the way to their goal Lots of good luck, ladies. 'Til next time. Happy Golfing! Liz Athlete's Away As of June 25th, 1979 Leonard F.

McHenry, Illinois 60050 Office Hours By Appointment New Telephone 385-0777 JOHN McIN'ERNEY Charleston, 111. -Eastern Illinois University track per­ former John Mclnerney (McHenry) received All- American honors at the NCAA Division II Track and Field championship recently in Macomb. Mclnerney finished in 5th place in the 1500 meter run with a time of 3:46.9, helping Eastern to a 10th place finish in the team competition. Mclnerney, a two-time Ail- American in cross country, ran his personal best in the final race. Eastern head coach Neil Moore lauded Mclnerney's performance not only at the championship meet, but for his entire career. "Mac really finished up strong." Moore said "He peaked right at the time of the finals., something you are always looking for, but rarely find. It takes a good athlete who has prepared well to come up with his best performance in the biggest meet of the year. "Mac had a good four years here," Moore continued. "We will have a big hole to fill in our distance events next season." TENNIS LESSONS Private or group lessons Terry Reilly 815-385-8039 1
