Did you see that mob around Mike Daly's barber shop on Dollar Day? Imagine Mike's surprise when a customer gave him a buck for a shave and hair cut. That's what the sign said, but Mike didn't know the sign was posted. Bet Mike would give a free shave and hair cut , to the one who pat up that sign; JOHNSBURG WINS FIRST PLAY-OFF FROM RICHMOND £>ick Hiller Hits llomer In 4-1 Win; Again Sunday ' " i f ' " . ' v V PLAlNWAtER After a couple of nicks, he decided it might be humane to fintab the job for us. SSr Perhaps nobody would have noticed that little fuse missing the next day at school if a dear aister hadn't rushed ahead to tell ---the gang. The girls were the worst pests as they ran their hands over their chins every time we looked up. Twas worse torture than the ahave. (We wanted to murder Arlene Harrison and Gladys Van- Netta). And, of course, when you start to reminisce, one thing and then another comes to mind, etch one good for a chuckle. Our "barber" used to cut our ir, too. We aeemed to be fool* [ l ;. lng the people nntil one day when ^ Merman Nye sat in back of us In class.

Wouldn't you know it! Somebody thought to lift up one of our pant legs and there were the long, black ribbed stockings. The joys of living sank to lo*r:&b that day. Well, yon can blame that gay who drew the cartoon for ail this ranting. That was quite aerowd that packed the Sidelined at Johnsburg last Sunday to watch the Tigers do battle with Ray Miller's Richmond nine. Real nice game--good argument and all. Willie Klapperich again hurled a fine game and his support came through wlpf 41 aeant the moat. '• The big Mo#-Bp catde when Dick Hiller hit a home run far lntd right field.

MEN'S TENNIS TEAM BEATS WOODSTOCK The fielder claimed interference and Johnsburg claimed no ground rule to cover the situation. The crowd got into the act and •ome faney squabblin' went on for a while. Anyhow, the home ta^ atood Up In the scoring department. A Blower man might have been held to a triple, but Dick went around those bases like a scared rabbit In racing circles, they'd suspect a battery under the saddle. Joe Schmitt, the Arthur Murray of the dance floors, was again at the "mike" to keep the fans posted as the game progressed. Men's tennis has come to the front in McHenry. The local tean played its first match in severa years here last Sunday, defeating the Woodstock team. Word comes in that the Lion's trophy matches are progressing nicely. There were about fiftee entries this year. Clarence Feiere isel and Leonard McCracken wil play in one semi-finals bracket In the other bracket, Father Van derpool and Patrick Krohn have each won one match. It is the plan to move the tournament play right along in order to complete the finals before Labor Day. The battle is on for supremacy in the county league play-offs. Richmond visited Johnsburg last Sunday and lost a 4 to 1 decision in a hotly-contested pitching duel. Willie Klapperich and Vern Miller, a couple of pitchers who can pour 'em in, were the opposing moundsmen for six innings. Willie stayed to the finish in fashioning a 5-hitter, but Vern gave way to Richie Miller jtt th^ start of the seventh. There were scoring - threats along the way, but the Tigers got off to aJ one run lead in the second inning wheh Dick Hiller led off with a base on balls. Ted Pitsen tapped to the third base side Of the mound and Vern Miller whipped a throw to second. Confusion arose- with Hiller charging in. The ball got away and Dick kept right on for third base. Bob PeisA-t, who had a perfect day with three straight walks and a safe hit, drew his first pass to load the bases. The Richmond Infield played in close. Jim Freund grounded to Tilton, who threw to first after seeing no chance to force the speedy Hiller at home. Pitzen and Peisert advanced. Klapperich took a third strike. Si Meyers dri-w the third walk of the inning, but Pitzen made the mistake of strolling toward home. Ted was a dead duck In the run down and the side was retired. -- Action--No Runs -- There was action in the Richmond portion of the second, but no scores resulted. Ehorn, substituting for Connie Miller (Connie was hit on the foot by a line drive) hit the first ball pitched for a single to left. "Hessie" Miller forced Ehorn. Tilton was safe on an .error by Jim Freund. Pickering boomed a long one toward hack's" in left center, but Art Jackson knew the territory and enth, allowing one run in that Inning. Si Meyer got life on Tllton's error, stole second and scored on tiowie Freund's shot to center. Double plays in the seventh and hinth killed off Richmond threats. Coing back a bit in the story, let's not forget a great play In the third inning. Art Jackson drove a long ball into the trees Ehorn recovered the ball and flichie Miller made a perfect relay to nail Art sliding into third. It had to be perfect--and perfect it was.

Katz was on base with 1 bad-hop single when Dick low- ;red the boom on one of Vern's 'ast ones. The ball went deep in "•-o right field and scattered (well, they didn't scatter too fast!) a roup of spectators on the edge it the mowed sector. Richmond laimed a ground rule decision should be enforced. But, nobody :ould find that a ground rule had been made After much vocalizing in all sides, play appeared to be "esifming. Up came the plate umpire with an announcement that he would call an "automatic home *un" on any subsequent happenngs. This brought Manager Howe Freund and his gang storming iff the bench. Nobody questioned rhe umpire's right to enforce a ground rule, but close observors of-the game did question his right o make the rules. Richmond put up a good argument as all ball teams do, but the home run went nto the records. ~ Richie Mille changed positions •vith Vern at the start of the sev- Meyer and Mike Wieser, the local team has enjoyed the sport of playing all summer.
