THE LONG THROW-from Johns burg Businessmen third baseman Brian DiBlasi across the diamond to Don Bentz did not have enough mustard as BAH left fielder Dan Knox (far right) is safe at first on a close call. Pitcher Tom Tonyan, (far left) hit the dirt in anticipation of the sixth-inning throw from DiBlasi as Johns burg won the one-day playoff in the McHenry Youth 16" Softball league at Petersen Park on Sunday. STAFF PHOTO-JOEL WAKITSCH Terry Reilly Makes Pros Haying basketball with a fever of 101 degrees, Terry Reilly made the best of his recent tryout in Washington, D.C. to play ball with a professional basketball team in Athens, Greece. Reilly, a 1976 graduate of McHenry High School, played in a three-day mini- tournament with 31 other americans hoping to be one of three players selected for the Greece team. Announcing his selection at his own wedding reception in Twin Lakes, last Satur­ day, Reilly said that he sewed 18 points and had 8 assists in the first game of the four-team tourney on Thursday. He noted that one of the scouts took him out Thursday night and asked him to play before the tourney was even com­ pleted. After his honeymoon in the Bahamas, Reilly will take off for Greece in mid- September in order to get ready for the season opener in October. "It's the dream of any athelete to play professional sports, and I just thank God for guiding me through the ordeal," Reilly concluded. PAGE 1-PLA1NDEALER •WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 26, i860 EARL WALSH* So I Hear I read it in the Plaindealer -- "Oysters are at their best in May." Now, that's a new one. All these years, I have followed the rule that oysters were at their best in months with a letter "r". O-r-sters. The envelope is post­ marked Denver, Co. No name. A clipping from The Denver Post tells of a 65 year old man, Maniford Harper, who has been a Cub fan since he was 11 years old. Baseball bis life and he wants to be ed in a Cub uniform. It has been arranged with his mortician. The note reads, "There is no need to make such formal arrangements as Maniford, but a pair of 'White Socks' would be nice." Sounds like a great idea. H6w about a Sox cap? Wish they would change TV commercials more often. The same old stuff gets boring. GET THIS PICTURE: ' A doctor, who would make Two-Ton Tony Galento look like a flyweight, making a lint of a light heavyweight tient gaining 5 pounds between office visits. Had a letter from "Zeke". He says several things have gone through his mind about that friendly 76-ers gang that got together for lunch and gabfest earlier in the summer. I quote: "One is that I don't seem to remember any of them smoking though I didn't pay particular at­ tention to anything except your cigars." Let me remind you, Zeke, that those cigars have kept me alive longer than any of you can claim. The letter also reminds tht we are still married to the same gals we met at the altar more than forty years ago. Just old fogies. Junior Bimbo, unlike his brother Eddie, hasn't given up on his beloved Cubs. I'm saying no more. He might slip me a "mickey". A thoughtful one is Cousin Quentin and Rose Ann's little girl, July Walsh Smith, who mailed us family picnic pictures. Judy married James W. Smith (the "W" stands for Wrigley). Overhead a fellow say he knew Foxhole "Red" when he was a redhead. It must be the silver has crept in since he came to McHenry and had to face the local crowd. Now we know. Riding through the countryside we noticed corn wasn't very tall when it started to tassle out. Hank Tomlinson told George Harker and George related the answer. Corn has been developed to produce big ears and short stalks. It makes the bundles easier to lift. Presume they still have the tall corn for sileage. Must ask Hank. I can remember loading those big bundles one Saturday in high school days and though Sunday would never come. If there is a recession in Putting In $2,000 For A.C.S these parts, you wouldn't believe it when you see the crowds out eatin' on Friday nights. Some who aren't going out are eating better at home. For our part, getting out and meeting people gives us a boost. Finally caught up to other friends we haven't seen, Pastor and Mrs. Herman Graef. They were vac- tioning. Told the Pastor how nice it was for him to be out fishing and playing golf while I had my nose to the grindstone. His response: "My heart bleeds for you". Uh-huh. The McHenry county Defenders recycling com­ mittee has passed out the word that the demand for magazines has diminished temporarily, but bundle up your newspapers and bring them as usual. We take our magazines to Bertilla Freund. She and other good ladies take them to war veterans who are hospitalized. Nice work. Maybe we should take some to doctors' offices. Reading those 1978 numbers is like watching a rerun on TV. It's great to meet old friends whom we haven't seen in some time. An old time baseball player in these parts, Weldon Andreas, is one we met for a short chat. You know a man has a new suit when it is complete with a vest. Those four extra pockets are handy. Before wrist watches we used to wear a pocket model with chain across the front. Have noticed that some of us with ample fronts should wear suspenders. The vest creeps up and the belt buckle slips down, leaving a space that is anything but beautiful. TOPICS by Bob Bnwsnr BOATS FOR SMALL MOTORS Fishermen and others find smaller outboard motors and boats to be well suited to their needs. Portability, economy, ease of handling, and simplicity of op­ eration and maintenance are among their advantages. Small boats come in so many types and sizes that it's hard to give pat advice on choosing a ... good boat for a particular small .j^ptor. •? " A good starting point, though, is the load and horsepower capa­ city plate affixed to every new boat. A four-horsepower outboard can serve equally well on a 12- foot utility boat and an 18-foot canoe, for example. Stability, fore-and-aft bal­ ance, load distribution, steer­ ing and handling qualities and various other factors enter into selecting suitable power for a boat. Such things are taken into account when manufacturers determine maximum recom­ mended power to go on capa­ city plates. Sometimes small boats per­ form better with two persons aboard than with one! When all weight is in the stem, a small boat will float bow-high, stern- down, and have a lot of drag that will hinder getting onto plane. But a passenger up forward TOP LEFTY IN THE NAT'L. LEAGUE. EXPERTS SAY. He has a positive mental attitude. f Oh Shoot Day, the recent American Cancer Society golf outing, held at Chapel Hill Country Club was a great success. A total of $2,200 was netted for the cancer crusade of McHenry County which has a 1980 goal of $49,000. Above, Melanie Frett, Mary Jane Nowak and Charie Clarke watch Ilavern Gregory sink a long put on the practice green before the fund-raising event. The Cancer Society Is not a member of United Way and the proceeds of special events such as the golf outing, the bike- a-thon, plus the Business and residential crusade pay for the aims and purposes of the Society. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLOKD will hold the bow down and the boat may plane out more read­ ily due to less drag, despite greater weight! Between the capacity plate figures, the recommendations of an experienced dealer, and perhaps a few trial runs, you can choose a small motor and boat combination that will give you good results.
