ARL WALSH" So I Hear With interest rates going up, wages and benefits riiting, cost of living soaring, and unemployment way who can This long baseball strike gets more ridiculous by the minute. It must be that neither the owners nor the players mim the money being lost. imagine a Fourth of July weekend without baseball and the huge crowds. That hits the owners in the pocketbook. And, imagine letting the fans down on the All-Star game. This hits the players in the pocketbook. Proceeds go into their pension fund. Owners and the millionaire players won't be needing food stamps. The lower bracket players will feel the pinch. The whole mess is far reaching. Hotels, airlines, restaurants and business in general are hit hard. But, it is really the little guy who needs con­ sideration. The guys and gals dishing up refresh­ ments, peanuts, popcorn and programs need the money they earn. There are others. I don't like strikes. Yankee owner George Steinbrenner had a point when he said players shouldn't . attempt to negotiate. They don't even negotiate their, individual contracts with the owners. Agents act for them. I have a solution. Sell the franchises to the players and let's play ball. FOUR FOUNDATION STONESTOA HAPPY LIFE: 1. Something to do. 2. Someone to love. 3.

Divot Dolls At MCC "Find the Shade" was the name of the game Tuesday, July 7, as the gals at McHenry Country club concluded their Match Play and Consolation Tour­ naments along with playing their Grandmothers' event. Laboring under the bright sun and blast-furnace heat Dot Freund edged out Carol Cooney on the 17th to capture the Match Play Tournament in Class A. In Class B another close one found Evie Castle bowing to Georgette Lewis. In Class C Betty Rode won handily over Mary Mutchinsky while in Class D it was Toots Gerstad over Joan Schloskey. In consolation Tour­ namentN^ll Fidler won over Espar Oja in Class A. It seems that Espar's er­ stwhile friendly putter deserted her. In Class B it was Kathy Lundquist over Wally's Wins Two Walley's Bike Haven came from behind in two games to win in recent junior league Pigtail softball action. Wally's defeated Tami's Juvenile Furniture 11-10 after trailing by eight runs in the second inning. Rallying back, Wally's closed the gap to within three runs in the last inning. Then Kasondra Weiler hit a home run, and after two outs, Jenny Gibson and Jenny Egan both singled and Stephanie Quantz followed with her first home run of the season which won the game. Wally's also defeated McHenry Recreation 13-9 after giving up all nine runs' in the first inning. Arndt, Weiler, and Betsy Johnson each had three hits to lead the winners, and Brenda Bromley, Cristine Roper, and Egan had two apiece.

Whese are we going? How high is up? Riding through various towns, it strikes us that Burlington, Wis., has about everything one could want. Not too large. Not too small. One time as we rode aimlessly through small towns in Wisconsin and saw storekeepers looking out the windows, Alvina said, "How do they make a living?" "Just the way we used to in McHenry," was my an­ swer. / Memory takes me back to days of clerking in a hard­ ware store. A farmer would come in to buy an axe or a fork. You walked to the door with him and had a visit. Then you would wait for a while for another customer to come along. The next customer probably took a lot of time trying to describe a thing-a- ma-jig or a whatcha-ma- call-it. Profits were not high. Neither were expenses. I made less in a week than a clerk would make in a day now. A reader's favorite quote: "Today is the beginning of the rest of your life." Pondering on that makes me wonder if "Have a good day" shouldn't be changed to "Have a good life". Algonquin Walks Past Legion PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. JULY 19,1961 The old baseball adage that "walks wUl kill you" was no more evident than m last Tuesday night's game when McHenry lost 5-2 to visiting Algonquin. ; Although the winners only collected Ave hits in the game, they njade the most out df the 15 free passes that three McHenry hurlers issued.. The score could've been much higher con­ sidering Algonquin left a staggering 16 runners on base in the seven innings. Algonquin scored in the top of the first inning after a single, a walk, and another single with t*b outs. In the bottom of the second inning, McHenry tied the score as Dave Smith singled with one out and scored on a double by Phil Brenner. Algonquin patiently waited out losing McHenry htirler Chuck Dicker in the third frame to score the go- ahead run with the benefit of only one hit. With the bases loaded, Dicker walked in a run on four straight balls and he was replaced by Bob Bryniarski. Bryniarski retired the first man he faced to end the inning. In the fourth inning, Algonquin scored what proved to be the winning run on two walks, an error, and a wild pitch. They had again left the bases loaded and this time had failed to get a hit in the inning. McHenry came back in its half of the inning as John Doessel was hit by a pitch. He moved to second on a wild pitch, and after a walk to Smith, Brenner again delivered a clutch hit which scored Doessel. Algonquin tattied its final two runs in the top of the sixth inning on a walk, a triple, a hit batsman, and two more walks. Tim Evans relieved Bryniarski with one out in the sixth and gave up the final run. McHenry had a couple of chances to pull the game out in the final innings. In the sixth inning, McHenry had two runners on but a double play erased a potential rally. Mike Dillon reached third base in the bottom ^of the seventh, but he was left stranded as his teammates were retired in order. McHenry collected six hits in the game with only Brenner getting more than one. Dillon singled in his lone appearance. McHenry faces a busy schedule upcoming. After traveling to Algonquin Wednesday, July 8, and to Belvidere on Thursday, July 9, the team will host Rock- ford Guilford in a Connie Mack doubleheader on Sunday, July 12, and then host Crystal Lake Monday night July 13, in a 6 p.m. contest at McCracken field. :v v.-'* ,-s mm : > v • . < WHERE'S THE BALL? • The baseball appears to be stuck in the mouth of the Algonquin first baseman. Actually he's blowing a bubble as McHenry's Dave Smith leads off the bag. Smith later scored on a double by Phil Brenner, but Algonquin won the game 5-2.

Betty Smith, Esther Jemiola over Jean Napier in Class C and "little lady" Aita Gierke over Marcy Wakitsch in Class D. In the one-day Grand­ mothers' tournament, played on net score, Virginia Turner took Class A with a 72. Georgette Lewis with net 78 took Class B. A net 74 gave Fran Weyland Class C. And, netting 75, Betty Gossell took Class D. Under the weekly statistics it was our blonde bomber Carol Cooney who shot an 88 to have low gross over the field while Virginia Turner had low net in Class A with her 72 and Nell Fidler had low putts of 30 in the same class. In Class B Gloria Otth had a 69 net and Betty Strauss had low putts of 27. Fran Weyland's 74 gave her low net in Class C while Janel Conway had low putts of 31. Another exciting net, 69, was shot by Lloyd's bride, Patty Smith, in Class D while Virginia Spengel had low putts of 31 to help her score her best round to date. The only birdies flying around were those of Carol Cooney on 15 and Joanie Buss on four and 16. However, a number of ap­ proaches found their way into the cups. First there was Alvina Yopp who put it in from off the green to hold par on seven. Then Dorothy Wood sank her approach on 10 to hold par. Dot Freund did the same on 15 for the same result. Virginia Spengel did the same on 14 and Pat MacDonald sank her approach on 15. Under the "Oops" and "Oh Dears", Mary Mutchinsky claimed the title of "Sandy" for the day. It seems she found a lot of the traps- must have thought there really were beaches near by. Speedy Neumann en­ tertained her golf mates by taking a lot of water routes. She finally gave herself a drenching witlv her decision to play directly out of the water on 10. Id View of die intense heat it probably had a cooling effect. Trick shot artist of the day was Joanie Buss who banked her shot off a cart in front of her to have the ball land on the Uth green - just missed dropping into the cup. Frieda Miller is feeling mighty perky these days since she has gone up to Class C and that's one of the many things that make for Happy Golfing! w Liz PS Another happy note in­ volves Floss O'Connell who, along withf several other McHenry gals, took part in Illininet '81 held at Hilldale on June 29. Shooting 86 with her 24 handicap Floss captured Low Net over the enttire field with a net 62. She.also had low putts over Ike entire field, rolling in 28 for the 18 holes, congratulations are in order to go along with the set of woods and golf bails she won for her skill. Nice golfing, Floss!
