s Johnsburg Tops Wayne's T h e J o h n s b u r g Businessmen rallied for seven runs in the fourth inning to overcome a 3-1 Wayne's lead and went on to win 10-3 in an important game on Monday. The victory leaves Johsburg in second place in the Western Division with a 7-3 mark. Wayne's falls into second place in the East with an Identical won-lott record. Wayne's wasted little time as they scored twice in the first inning. Don Prazak singled Tom Burke walked and Pat Burke singled to load the bases. Wayne Roewer slammed a two-run single to give Wayne's the lead. Tom Prudden's single loaded the bases again but the next batter popped out to end the threat. Johnsburg struck back with Wayne Frantz s RBI single in the second. Kevin Horner, however, matched that in the third to give Wayne's a 3-1 lead. Horner would reach second base on torn Prud­ den's second base hit of the contest before a popout ended the inning. That was the last time a Wayne's runner would get past first base . In the fourth frame, J o h n s b u r g ' s T o m Spasojevich sent his seventh home run of the season over the left field fence. The two- run shot tied the contest. Scott Letzter hit a 2 out double down the line to keep the inning alive for John­ sburg after Jim Meyers grounded out. The next three batters in Johnsburg-'s lineup hit safely up the middle with Wayne Frantz, Mark Schultz and Brian DiBlasi getting the base hits. Bob Wakitsch added another clutch single and Tim Frantz tripled before it was over and Johnsburg led 8-3. \ Four times during the inning there were close plays At the plate. Frantz was thrown out when he at­ tempted to stretch his hit into an inside the park home run. A great relay by Tom Burke nailed him to end the inning. However, the other three times luck was on the Businessmen's side. On three successive plays Letzter, Frantz and Schultz scored while Wayne's out­ fielder Don Prazak was the frustrated marksman each tijfne. Wayne Hiller and Tom Spasojevich both hit safely in the Johnsburg fifth inning. That set up two insurance runs for the winners when Jim Meyers sacrificed and Scott Letzter hit his second double. Both teams had key players missing from the lineup. Wayne Frantz and Bob Wakitsch had two hits each while Mark Schultz added an RBI single. The substitute threesome went five for nine while Wayne's reserves went hitless. Tom Spasojevich in­ creased his league leading batting average going 2 for 2 with a base on balls and 3 runs scored. 'Spas' ia up to .730. Tim Frants and Wayne Hiller added two hits each for the winners while Terry Hovseth and Pat Burke had two hita each for Wayne's.

But two regulars were out of the lineup and Doherty's managed only nine hits as they squeaked past the Tail by a 3-1 margin. The victory leaves them three full games ahead of their nearest op­ ponent while the losers drop to a 2-8 mark. The Tail led in the early going as John Sytsma drove in what turned out to be their only fun in the first. However, the muggy leather must have bothered Syqtma's club as they garWed only 8 hits them- •;elvesK_. After ihreeteoreless in­ nings, Matt Oik tied the contest with a leadoff home run in the fourth. Irish DeCiccio and Jerry Brodin followed with singles to set ;p Tom Roach's winning sacrifice fly.

It's an old story to a few, but newer readers may be amused to hear about a time when I reported a basketball game and mentioned a player "dribbling" the whole length of the floor. acquainted with a stranger when the time came to choose a replacement for Larry. Walking into the Post Office, I heard a friendly greeting--turned and noted a Wisconsin license plate. Sure enough--all the way down from the Badger State came Larry and Lynn Lund. The Lunds are now publishing a newspaper in Monroe, Wis. after many pleasant years in McHenry. I had an office on the second floor of the Pries Building. That is where the China Light restaurant is operating. About 10 o'clock in the morning, I would hear a horn below. John Bolger would pick me up for a jaunt down to the "Canopy John" Karls restaurant Well, our dear proof reader thought it sounded uncouth and changed it to "ran down the floor". Not much money, but a lot of fun in those days. Tom Miller, who did a bang-up job in building up the advertising department, stepped into big shoes and is able to handle the job. Making the job easier for those top men has been a top lady, Our "Brenda", for almost as many years (not quite) as S.I.H. has been around. Along came Bill and Lila Berfeindt and a fast and firm friendship developed. Forty-six short years ago, I started with Editor "Mose" and his wife. McHenry was small and everybody knew everybody You even knew their team of horses, automobile and dog. It wasn't the coffee and roll we looked forward to--it was to meet friends like "Red" Winkei, Larry Huck, Sr., Roy Kent, Ernie Buch, the Barbian brothers and many more. McHenry was growing and so was the Piaindealer. I thought the bottom fell out when Bill moved from the Piaindealer to the Woodstock Sentinel. Nobody was too busy in those days for fun. If they could get a good joke on somebody, they hastened to get the ne<vt> tc S. I .H. For you newcomers, let me say that Charlie Renich of the Woodstock Sentinel was also owner and Publisher of the McHenry Piaindealer. They simply did not realize they were hiring a Democrat as Sports Editor and columnist It seems Big Earl Dowell enjoyed the Karls at­ mosphere. There were many others who were not in the morning crowd. Along came Larry to take over the helm. Things were on the nove in McHenry and Larry took an active part. John Karls was always glad to see us come and sometimes glad to see us leave. Lynn was one of the best boosters of this column and I loved her tor her en­ couragement. Mrs. Mosher was our proof reader, one who didn't know It wasn't easy to see the Lund family move away. It wasn't like getting Nor did they ever know how Mrs. Renich used to phone to urge me to "keep it up" when I teed off on my Republican bosses. Those were fun days. ientbmsqAMC the professional do-it-yourself carpet cleaning system First Hour of Rental $1 00 per hour . . . for every hour thereafter.

SAFE AT SECOND - Wayne's second baseman George Cadotte waits for the throw from an outfielder as Johnsburg right fielder Scott Letzter slides in safely stretching his hit into a double.

Johnsburg remains in second place In the Western division with a 7-3 record, while Wayne's slips into second place in the Eastern division with an Identical 7-3 record. 8TAFF PHOTO • CARL MOESCHE MEN'S 16-INCH INDUSTRIAL JULYS Scot Forge 2 R.D Hahn 8 McHenry Recreation 19 Enterprise R-M 24 Power Conversion Products 9 Intermatic 21 JULY 8 McHenry Rec. 10 Brake Parts 15 Morton Chemical 20 Power Conv.
