Wayne's broke out of a four week slump to record their eighth victory with a 15-7 decision over Little John's in Men's 12-inch softball. The winners had to overcome a sloppy third inning of defense (three errors) but their offeree came 4)ive with home runs by Tom and Pat Burke plus a perfect three for three day by Don Prazak. Tom Burke added great defensive (day at shortstop as twice he went defcp in the hole to backhand hot grounders tolforce runners at thitd base. Burke added his expertise again in the sixth when he helped turn a great double play. Another double play plus Tom Prudden's throw to the plate to nab Bill Peterson all helped Wayne's cause. The winners twice over­ came early Little John's leads. Tom Moore's two-run single in the second put Wayne's ahead 2-1. But that disastrous third inning of defense gave Little John's a 4-2 lead. Wayne's End Slump In 12-Inch 7 - PLAINPEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12.1981 Pat Burke slammed a two- run homer to tie the score in the bottom of the third, his seventh homer of the season. An inning later Wayne's took command for good as they scored five runs. Three straight base on balls plus Tom Moore's sacrifice fly made the score 5-4. Scott Stull reloaded the bases with a single and Rick Wiegman drove a deep sacrifice fly to left which scored two more runs. Tom Burke and Pat Burke added RBI singles before the inning ended to put Wayne's ahead 9-4. In the sixth inning Wayne's erupted for six more runs, one shy of ending the contest by the 12-run slaughter rule. Tom Burke hit his twelfth home run of the season, a three-run blast, for half of the runs. Don Prazak doubled in another run and Larry Winkleman drove in the final two runs with a long sacrifice fly to left. Little John's scored three runs in the seventh but it was EARL WALSH" So 1 Hear Don't say we didn't pass the word along. Emily Hester has been observing the activity of the squirrels and predicts an early winter. So. Be prepared. The squirrels are storing up acorns for winter survival- It might be well for us to follow their plan. My parents had a deep cellar that was cold enough to keep edibles all winter. Home canning went on all summer as a large garden provided a variety of vegetables. And there were fruit trees. There were only two items they purchased-- a bag of dried navy beans from Zee Webster on John St. and large squash from John Claxton. Squash didn't send me into ecstasy, but the thought of home baked beans with a big chunk of salt pork in the middle of the crock, was what we called eatin'. Come to think of it, my folks must have bought some potatotes. It doesn't seem possible they could have filled the big bin from their garden. f There wasn't so much store-bought food in those days. Besides home canned peaches, pears, cherries and apple sauce, fresh fruit came from the Jonathan tree not far from the back door. Can't figure it out. That tree was never sprayed, but the apples were spotless. How did I get rambling on the subject? Blame it on the squirrels. You can bet on Emily's pi*4Uc^ion or look it up in the Far theirs' Almanac. They aren't like the partly cloudy - partly sunny, cold front meets warm front weathermen.

It happened that way Friday night when we chose a good restaurant -- but didn't know a soul in the place. Brightness came when in walks the Bob Blaneys and another friendly couple whom we met for the first time. The hostess brought them to a table next to ours. That made our evening. Another bright spot in the week was a phone call from Bill Bolger "to talk a little baseball". Bill is a true blue baseball fan and won't let a setback like a strike dampen his enthusiasm. As my Grandma used to say, "Like meself" he will be right back in the groove to follow the sport. Bill and I can live without baseball -- just barely Word got around that I have been hospitalized. Phone calls came in. Tain't so. Have been traveling almost every day to a hospital for special treat­ ments. A local doctor described it as "No big deal". I can be described as a lively corpse. Speaking of hospitals. It was great news to learn that our Hospital Board received approval to build a new facility. You may be sure it didn't happen without many hours of effort. Our appreciation to each and every person who brought the application to a successful conclusion. too little too late. Bill Peterson led Little John's going three for three with three runs sewed. Dave Sch­ midt, Ray Buss, Dan Stanowski and Kip Novotny had two hits each with Buss including a two-run double in the seventh.

Wayne Hiller's two-run single followed by Tom Spasojevich's two-run homer in the last inning, both with two outs, gave Wayne Frantz's crew some breathing space. Jewel Park outhit the winners 14-13 and just missed tying the score in the sixth inning when Ray Layne was gunned down at the plate by Tim Vrantz. Hiller and Spasojevich had three hits and three runs scored each to pace John- 90 years! That's the age Mrs. Joe (Clara) Miller just reached. A host of friends and relatives gathered in the St. Patrick's Church hall to show their admiration for this fine lady. I told Mrs. Miller that we will plan on seeing her on her 100th. It was at this birthday celebration that it all started about baseball. Peter Gies remarked that I will have something to write about now that baseball is back. A headline in the Sunday morning paper "CUBS BEAT SOX, 4-3" was no inspiration for me to keep holy the sabbath. George (Junior) Freund said he couldn't care less about baseball. What a shame. He was such a great Cub fan. Jerry Miller, the only Cub fan I heard from during their miserable first half of the season, is right back in form. We returned home only to get the second phone call from John Busscher in two days. • A note in this column last week forced Big John • to accept our bet on the All- Star game. The second call was to let me know the score on the Cub-Sox game. I hadn't heard! What really bothered John was the fact he hadn't drawn a bet out of me on that All- Chicago game. Says he forgot. Huh! Things are getting back to normal. Cub fans are coming out of the bushes. TIME OUT The All-Star game is over. That lucky Busscher! sburg. Hiller included a two- run single in the first inning to give him four RBIs. Tim Frantz and Jim Meyers added two hits each. , Neal Nessett went three for three to lead Jewel Park.

The winners ended the contest mercifully -for Huemann's as they won by the 12 run, slaughter rule. Rick Wakitsch was the big gun for the Nail as he homered, doubled, singled, drove in five runs batting a perfect three for three. Larry Jones also went three for three with three runs scored. Joe Miller added two hits plus a sacrifice fly and Phil "Buda" Creden also drove two singles up the middle. Joe Huemann had two of Huemann's sue hits including a leadoff triple in the third. Ken Bottari added a two run double which at one time put Huemann's .up 2-0.

I finally won a hole from Georgette- Competing with Georgette is like waiting for your horse to come in first and it doesn't. Georgette has been playing some excellent golf. Not so for Marilyn Ehlen, as she tees-off and loses her ball in the bushes, next hits a tree and it pluments back to her! Bad day. Apparently other golfers share the same fate; as Bernice Dolce tees-off on number four and breaks her four iron! Then her ball just tailed away towards the green when she least ex­ pected it to. With a delicate pitch in she ran her ball into the hole. That's composure! Captured memories are not so with Libby Johnson on July 30. On number four Libby made a spectacular shot towards the hole, only to hit the fence near the green. I guess it was "tree day" today. I wonder if the Pros have doggie days like this! Teeing off on number six 4 with a good smooth swing / the ball tails away and hits a tree landing with a fortunate bounce to the right on the fairway. Ethel Hartman then chips onto the green and ends up with a one putt. With a marvelous tee-off on number seven, Edna Polan had a clear line for a par. Chipping in close to the pin and putting into her shadow Edna Mae pars number seven. Clever hit Rose! With a tremendous drive the ball plumetss towards a tree with a hit that sets her into an excellent position for a nex shot on the fairway. Rose Santi had the lowest putts in her class today. With an uphill and downhill angle Libby Johnson sinks a 30 ft. putt. With a spectacular shot Maria McKim tees-off towards number six, and delicately chips in for a run to a No Putt. Bobby Burr has played some terrific fairway shots to make her golfing very exciting. I hear Edna Meuller's been hitting some spectactular shots. • The greens were also holding for Corrine Boyer as she chips onto the elevated green on number nine for no- putts. With an error in Judgement of time Maggie still showed some good golfing and won her match. "Fates that rule golf can not be questioned, but be appreciated." Lorie Humel's ball had eyes only for the hole as it briskly hits the flag then seemed to reach up and then go blumeting into the hole! There is no error of judgement of the greens for Ruth Gulbransen as she pitched in a 15 foot putt on number five. There are so many good golfers, and so many exciting moments on the Pistakee course but only you can tell. Golf is fun! Low putts this week are: A. Georgette Lewis and Marilyn Ehlen. B. Pat Scheskie. C. Rose Santi. D. 4 Bobbie Burr, Linda Myers. Do you know what "Love Grass is?" That is a golfing ^term for "Loose Tall Grass."

Recently at a region-wide raft race, several McHenry Jaycees did tome fishing, and without the use of poles, hooks, or nets. Actually, on two seperate ocasions during the race, fish jumped onto their raft and with a little scrambling, were caught. The day was successful for the rafters as they captured third place in their division for speed, and they also received the award for most outstanding design.
