ARL WALSH" So I Hear There is nothing so final as an error alter it has hit the Dear So I Hear: In my opinion, not necessarily yours, it is time that you heard from me. This is not a pre-election gripe, just an observation: The world has opened up to the extent that what we observed from between the covers of books, is not the world that IS. Baghdad is not the glamorous land of Sultans, mystery, romance and guys .in big pants, (Turks?). That land just isn't so. It is oil fields and yelling mobs. Ali Bab and Scheherazade, just aren't so either. Do we put it all to sleep until myths or escapes come back again to comfort? Hoping this doesn't get you off to a rocky start on the new weekk. K. Brown 4016 Kane McHenry, m. 00060 « -- 4 Dear K: You hadn't written for so long I thought you might be a fallen away reader As for a rocky start-you can say that again. Rocky or not, I have to agree with your thinking/ - If we can't put it all to sleep, let's revive the idea of giving our country bads to the Indians and get a new start. ' S.I.H. Almost forgot the annual Finger-Lickin' -Chicken- Dinner at the Ringwood Methodist Church. Better get your tickets in advance. People do swarm in there each year. The date: Saturday, July 11. Last week we mentioned Henry and Mary. The next paragraph came out Harry and Mary. Somebody goofed. Maybe I did. At least it was half right Sunrise! Looked up and saw Wally Hojnadd at our table at McHenry Country Club. The Hojnackis moved to Florida five yea^s ago and love every bit of Frank and Wanda Zima, Whispering Oakerfc, also stopped to tell a cute story. A new neighbor with the good name of Ryan is a White Sox fan all the way. In fact, Ryan forbid his dozen children to chew Wrigley gum. ; Now that the Tribune has bought the Cubs, he may not allow that paper in his house. With the likes o' the Ryans on their side, the Sox should never lose. To top off a big everting came a hug from my adopted daui ghter. You didn't know I had an adopted daughter? Let me tell thee, she is som^ girl. Her name is Mrs. Ted (Hester) Curry. They both claim I look like a twin of Hester's late father. Jim Pearson is trying to get some history on the late Chester Goodman's father. The Home of the Barrys on John St. is where the Goodmans lived and their property ran way back to the river. Can't say what Mr. Goodman's occupation was, but he was known as Professor. Enjoying a horse and buggy ride with my parents, I remember visiting the Goodman home and being shown through the grounds. Never have I seen such a variety of beautiful flowers as we saw that day. Come to think of it, Jim, the McHenry Library probably has the in­ formation you are seeking. Shake hands with Herman Zwissler some time and you will feel the grip worthy of a blacksmith. Alvina and I carried out a long-standing promise and visited Mayme Buss last week. Mayme claims she is 85 years old, but she must be kidding. She is sharp as a tack. It hadn't dawned on me. She is a great source for Information on early history of McHenry. No Johnny- Come-Lately is Mayme. e's a native of McHenry. It is hard for the older generation to understand DW young people can stand kuch loud music. You are not a young sprout if you can remember such soft tunes as Ramona, My Blue Heaven, and I Left Her ,|n Monterey. I- --And, you never danced if you didn't waltz to "It's Three O'Clock In The Morning". How many remember the old Fox Pavilion in Conway's Woods? I When a waitress directed • me to the boy's room in a strange restaurant, she said, "Turn right, second door on your left. Don't go in the first door or you are in trouble".

On June 10, McHenry defeated Richmond at Rich­ mond 7-3, but last Wed­ nesday the tables turned as McHenry lost a 11-6 decision at McCracken field. For the first five innings, it looked as though McHenry was in complete control, taking a 3-1 lead. Starting pitcher Mike Dillon held Richmond in check allowing only three . hits, while benefitting from some great defensive efforts from his teammates. Third baseman Phil Brenner turned in a double play in the second inning, second baseman Dave Maurer and shortstop Dave Williams turned in a twin killing in the third, and catcher John Bazan threw out a runner attenpting to steal in the fourth. McHenry scored all three of its runs in the bottom of the first inning. The leadoff batter, Joe Bauml singled to right field on the first pitch and promptly stole second base. After Jeff Major flied out to deep left field, Dave Maurer walked and John Doessel followed with a single scoring Bauml and sending Maurer to third base. Richmond's catcher threw the ball into center field on Doessel's steal allowing Maurer to score and Doessel to advance to third base. Brenner then followed hit­ ting a slow ground ball to the third baseman who's throw was too late to nab Doessel at the (date. But in the top of the sixth inning the roof caved in for McHenry as Richmond scored six times on five hit and two walks. A three-run triple by Andy Nordmeier knocked Dillon out of the game. Trailing 7-3, McHenry rallied to score three times in its half of the inning. Brenner and Williams opened the frame with walks and pinch hitter Keb Bowen singled in the infield to load the bases. On a three-two pitch, Bazan walked forcing in Brenner. After Chuck Dicker struck out, Bauml hit into a fielders choice with Williams scoring. On Bauml's at­ tempted steal, the catcher threw the ball into center field as noone covered second base, and Bowen crossed the plate with the final rim of the inning. Richmond added its final four runs in the seventh inning on five hits off of relievers Dicker and Bowen. For the game, Richmond pounded out 13 hits as compared to only five for McHenry. Richmond also committed four errors in the contest, while McHenry had two miscues. Bowen sparked McHenry going two for two while Bauml also had two hits. After hosting Algonquin in a Connie Mack game on Tuesday, July 7, McHenry will travel to Algonquin for a 6 p.m. contest on Wed­ nesday, July 8, and then to Belvidere on Thursday, July 9. for a 8 p.m. Connie Mack gjme.
