mining area of Penn­ sylvania, many who hadn't mastered the English language. One choice bit of reverse English was, "Throw Mommy downstairs a sweater". It was an interesting call from Mr. Don't Use My Name and I asked him to call again. He gave me some laughs. With some help, we have two new readers. One lady said she never read our column since she has no interest in sports. She thought because we edited sports our column was also the same. Told her it was decreed long, long ago by our Publisher and Editor that I move into other areas. Another lady said she was urged to read S.I.H., but couldn't find it in one issue last week. Somebody told her to look in the sports overrun, but she had no idea what they meant. Told the nice lady to keep searching. I used to rate a "column left" in earlier days, but got shifted around. I'll try a little harder. Vacations are easy to plan: The boss tells you when, and the wife tells you where. An honest confession is good for the soul, but BAD for the reputation.

SEPTEMBER 25.1181 Fox Hole Tap Win 16" Crown The temperature was somewhere in the mid fifties and dropping, but the Fox Hole Tap hitters were anything but cold Tuesday night. The Tap collected 36 hits in two games, swept Nancy's Tavern 13-7 and 14-10, and wrapped up the 16-inch post season tournament at the V.F.W. a In game one, Nancy's got on the board first with two runs in the top of the first inning. John Meyers led off the game with a hustling double, took third on a fly out, and scored cn a base hit by Tom Spasojevich. Spasojevich later scored the second ran of the inning on a hit by Phil Oeffiing. In the bottom of the first, however, Fox Hole put together five hits and a walk to score six runs and take a lead that they would never relinquish. Among the five hits were run-scoring I - doubles off the bats of Ron Miller, Steve Dobner, and Vinnie Freund. Nancy's cut the lead to 6-3 in the third when Meyers singled and scored, and they tied it up in the fourth with three runs on three hits. Oeffiing led off the frame with a long triple and scored on a single by Jeff Meyers. Chuck Marke then doubled him home, and after ad­ vancing to third on a ground out, Marke scored the tying run as Mark Schultz grounded out unassisted to Tap firstbaseman Mike Peterson. After going three up and three down in both the second and third innings, Fox Hole came alive in the fourth frame scoring four runs on three hits and a pair of Tavern errors. With two outs, Twig Miller singled in Dobner with the go-ahead run. Next up Jim Yaworski reached on an error with Freund scoring. Rich Meyers then struck the big blow of the game, a long two-run double that scored Miller and Yaworski and put the Tap on top 10-6. Nancy's last threat came in the fifth inning when Jim Meyers opened with a triple and crossed the plate when Spasojevich lofted a long sacrifice fly to left field. But that was all that Nancy's would get as Yaworski, the Foxhole pitcher, didn't allow a hit in the final two innings to record the win. The Tap also put three insurance runs on the board in the sixth to conclude the scoring. Fox Hole outhit Nancy's 12 to nine in the contest with Twig Miller, Peterson, and Dobner collecting two hits each to lead the winners. Rich Meyers also drove in four runs with his double and two sacrifice flies. John Meyers and Oeffiing each had two hits to lead Nancy's including an extra base blow, and Spasojevich collected a pair of RBIs. Nancy's Tavern 2 0 1 3 1 0 0 -7 Fox Hole Tap 6 0 0 4 0 3 x -13 In the second contest, Fox Hole banged out 24 hits, but needed a big nine-run fourth inning to pull away for the sweep. The Tap collected 11 hits in the fourth frame including two hits apiece by Dobner and Willie Howard. Dob- ner's second hit of that in­ ning drove in Jerry Brodin with what proved to be the winning run. Until the fourth, Nancy's led 7-3 capitalizing on three Tap errors, a pair of walks, and clutch two-out singles by John, Jeff, and Bill Meyers. Nancy's managed two more runs in the fifth and one more in the seventh, but only got three hits in the last four innings. Yaworski only surrendered eight hits in the contest, but he issued eight base on balls which led to several Tavern scoring opportunities. Yaworski, however, halted Nancy's himself as he picked Jeff Meyers off first base for the final out of the game. All 10 members of the Fox Hole batting order had at least one hit in the game. Rich Meyers, Brodin, Dobner, Howard, and Gary Falrchild all had three hits each. Included in "Ham­ mer" Brodin's performance was a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning that gave the Tap a 2-0 lead. Freund at third base, Ron Miller at shortstop, Rich Meyers at roving short, and Peterson at first base starred on defense for the Fox Hole, while Spasojevich in right field, Marke ' at second base, and Wayne Hiller at roving short turned in top performances in the field for Nancy's. Jeff Meyers had three of Nancy's eight hits, and Spasojevich reached base all four times on three walks and an error and scored four of the 10 runs.

EARL WALSH' "Brenda". home was built. Of course, that was long before building permits were heard of in McHenry. Any information any of you have regarding Fred Schnorr, the residence, or the Count will help. The information is needed now for historical reasons so don't delay calling me. Pictures would be great. We get many questions, but couldn't come up with all the answers on boxing for Ray Bispart of McHenry Shores. Anyhow, Ray is a pleasant fellow to talk to-- must try to meet him. John O'Leary, a nephew through the channels of marriage, says he looked up in the press box, but didn't see me at the football game Friday night. Sorry I didn't see the Warrior victory. Hope to see some games and hope my sidekick, Dick Rabbitt, will have a place for me. Elmer calling. Elmer who? 'Twas none other than "Biff Meyer. He wants Arnold Rauen to come back and take a picture of me with apron, basket and ladder -- holding the ladder for Alvina. "Biff" said he thinks the picture would be nice to preserve for posterity. The heck he does! He would waste no time in getting that picture to Editor Our caller (don't use my name) was born in the mountain area of Penn­ sylvania and was raised in Elkhart, Indiana. The man knows about railroads. His father was a railroad yard conductor. I learned there are dif­ ferent colored cabooses, but the rear is always painted red. It's a safety measure. There were many foreign born workers in the coal Golfers Keep On Winning McHenry high school's golf team continued its winning ways with two victories this week.

There was an ornamental iron fence around the entire site. On Halloween the front gate often rested on top of the Methodist Church across the way. Fred Schnorr loved flowers and planted them on every inch of ground. With all the bushes, it was like going through no man's land. Not many dared to step on those grounds. Jake Stoffel and I were exceptions. When the old gentleman reached an advanced age, he broke lamp chimneys regularly. Jake and I paid close attention since we were rewarded with two pennies for running down to the store to buy a new chimney. Kerosene lamps were in vogue. The home was sold to Count Oscar Bopp Von Oberstadt when he was detained in this country during World War 1. The research calls for such information as when the There is an extensive research going on to determine some facts about the "Count's House", the stately brick home facing both Waukegan and Main Streets. Ellen Miller, Marian Central's number one singles player concentrates on her next shot Tuesday night. Miller won her fifth match in a row against McHenry's number one player Chris Knox by scores of 6-1, 6-2.
