BHT ^ A jf 6.9 Mile Run ! • Herald photos by Chris Juzwlk Hie City of McHenry Department of Parks & Recreation has begun its Tee Ball League, as droves of area youngsters have flocked to Knox Park to participate. The game of baseball can be as frustrating at this level as it can for major leaguers, but it's never too bad that you can't kick up a little dust. , Women 14-15: Kim Whittlinger 1:05:38; Alycia Harris 1:12:04.

McHenry advanced to the final four in the tourney with key hits by Dixon* Samen and Doerfert, and the sparkling defense of Bonde, Pox, Stropoli and Turner. Jumping out to a five-run lead in the hotly-contested semifinal duel with Woodstock I wasn't enough. With Woodstock leading 8-7 after 5'2 innings, McHenry scrambled to tie the game in its half of the sixth. Woodstock, however, came back with two in the top of the seventh, setting the stage for a valiant come­ back try by McHenry. A leadoff double by Carlson was nullified by a tough call from the umpire, and with the tying runs in scoring posi­ tion, the game ended with a groundout. The girls haven't ended their sea­ son, however. The Pigtail League will be sending these All-Stars, as well as a group of 11-12 year-olds, to the Cary Tournament, which begins tonight. Friday.

Editor's note: Today's column is being written by Bruce Szatek, First Mate Gina Joy Charters. This past Sunday I made a visit to the McHenry Dam State bait such as crawlers, crayfish, l eaches and minnows . Crawlers laying on the bottom of the river can produce some decent sized catfish. Large and small-mouthed bass can be en­ ticed to hit on minnows and crayfish. Most people are anchoring in Jon boats off the dam spillway, casting Into the frothy Water.

Gerry Cardinallo spillway or you may be in for sometrouble. Fishing this week has been good at the Dam, but most fish are running small. Walleye has been slow, with a few caught in fast water on leaches and green jigs. Right now, the best time to fish this ar£a seems to be early morning, before the heat of the day. Please note: State fishing regulations are in effect at McHenry Dam State Park: Northern-- three per day (24- inch minimum); Walleye -- six per day (no minimum size); Large, smallmouth and spotted bass -- six per day collectively (no minimum size).
