THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEB Thursday, April 16,1964 SO I HEAR ... As we started for Comiskey Park early Monday mori\ing with "Red" Dewey, Sports Editor of the Woodstock Sentinel, Bill Burfeindt said he hoped we could get the White Sox straightened out. He sounded like a Cub fan! Little League Notes It \vas agred that if we could get the Sox off and wingin' for a good season these newspapers might send us down to Notre Dame nebct fall to help get those Irish back where they belong. The. White Sox management played[ host to sports writers from a wide area around the northern part of Illinois and showed us a fine time. With badges on our lapels, the gate swung open for us to walk out onto the playing field to meet the manager, coaches and players. Some young reporters walked up to players and thought sure they would remember meeting them in Podunk or some place at a sports banquet or such. Of course, the players shook hands in a friendly way. We found Manager A1 Lopez as comfortable as an old shoe and easy to visit with. He seems to have real concern for his players. By Bill Bolder Don't forget Little League tryouts will be held Sunday, April 19 at the Little League field. Eight year old boys should report at 1:00 p.m.; nine year olds at 2:30 p.m. In case of rain or bad weather the tryouts will be postponed one week to April 26. Every boy who did not play on a major league team last year should be at tryouts. In case of sickness, or ot her good reason, boys may be excused from tryouts. All boys who registered will be placed on a team. Tryouts are required by the national organization so that the managers can get a look at the boys in action and thus better determine where each boy should play. ZION TAKE TWO FROM MCHS NINE "Red" snapped our picture with Manager Lopez and it will appear on this page just to prove our previous stories that we were going in to help those Sox. Of course, A1 had his opening day lineup picked before we got there. Minnie: Minoso looks trim and ready to play. He could help in spots. Seems popular with all around him. The big concern was about Pete Ward's back injury, but he' semed to scamper around there pretty good for a cripple. We think they can use more cripples like Pete. Don Budford is a nice, intelligent young fellow who seems headed for stardom. As they say, he came to play. The management set a fine spread of food in front of us and the writers all seemed to have high batting averages with the knife and fork. It was a real pleasant trip and we hope to go back next year if they are kind enough to ask us. This regime probably never heard of the days when the Comiskeys spent summers near McHenry. Nor would they have heard of the early days when means of communication were so skimpy and the Comiskeys hung out a lantern to let one and all on Irish Prairie know when the Sox won. There was no lantern hung when the team lost. Bob "Beef" Freund just happened to drop in to see us late Tuesday to let us know the Sox lost the opening day game while the Cubs won. And what a smile! • The 1964 edition of the Orange and Black baseball squad is still seeking its first win of the season after being subdued by Zion last Saturday by .scores of 2-0 and 5-4. Terry Pearce, ace Zion lefthander, silenced the Warriors in the opener of the twin bill as he struck out 15 while giving up only two hits. Bill Cable, the Warriors top flinger, pitched fine ball, but a leaky defense gave Zion two unearned runs and thus the ball game. Cable allowed 5 hits in going the route. Dennis Smith (LF) got both of the Warrio; base hits. In the second game the Warriors had a 4-2 lead going in to the 6th inning, but again the defense folded and Zion picked up three runs on one hit and four Warriors miscues to move ahead 5-4. A mild Warrior threat in the seventh fell short. Myron Bentz, Junior right hander, allowed but three hits in his first starting assignment, but the Warrior errors were too much of an obstacle. Rich Soda had two hits in three at bats, one a two base blow and Jim Bettis helped the Warrior offense with two singles. RHE Zion 000 001 1 2 5 2 McHenry 000 000 0 0 2 2 Batteries: Zion •?

Bemie Welin, second Tiger hurler of the afternoon, aided his own cause in the top of the 7th inning with a two-out, two-run double. The Warriors used three hurlers -- Bill Cable, Myron Bentz and Jim Meyers, with Meyers taking the loss. Terry Miller, junior third baseman, led the , Warrior si.\- hit attack with a pair of singles.

This past Tuesday the Warrior Track Team opened its 1964 outdoor meet campaign with a 92-26 loss to Palatine, a perennial power in track, brought one of its best teams to McCracken Field and simply overpowered our boys in nearly every event. Some bright spots of the day were the running of Bob Fowler and George Koch. Fowler, only a sophomore, ran the 120 H H in a fast 16.2 to capture 1st place. Our only other 1st came off George Koch's fine showing in the 180 L H. Today, the team travels to Antioch for a non-conference meet. nibal to get fed up with people.

City Council Proceedings Proud Coach And Happy Player Most of Monday's City Council meeting was devoted to discussion, with no action taken. One topic concerned Tonyan's Millstre&m Park Addition, where a bridge will be constructed over Boone Creek. Since this is a joint project of the city and Ladd Developers, it was discussed by both on Monday night and generally agreed that the bridge should cross at Millstream drive rather than North avenue. An application will be made to the state for a permit. Also still in the discussion stage was the roadway in that subdivision on Maple avenue. The developer will install curb •and. gutters on the south side, and most of the property owners on the north side, who are not included in the new development, wilJL be responsible for this improvement on that side. Sgt. John Weichmann, who has been a long time member of the city police force, announced his resignation last Monday, to enter another field of employment unrelated to police work.

QUAKE PLAYS MVOC WITH AREA WELLS AUTOMATIC DIALER A new automatic dialer telephone, suitable for home and small business usage, is now available, according to S. F. Jozwiak, manager for Illinois Bell. Called a Non-Button Card Dialer, the new phone should be a boon to both small businessmen and clubwomen who find themselves frequently calling long lists of customers or members of an organization. According to the telephone company, it enables people to place calls easily, accurately and without dialing each number. The "secret" of the new telephone lies in the small plastic cards that come with the phone. By inserting a card in the slot on the telephone and pushing a start bar, the number being called is dialed inside the telephone by a motor-driven mechanism.

Cooney last Thursday. Your Authorized Travel Agent CIIAIN-O-LAKES TRAVEL SERVICE .'ifHj \V. Main McHenry WHAT KIND OF CAR IS RIGHT FOR YOU? A very successful dealer who enjoys the confidence and loyalty of the large number of customers who patronize his dealership said recently that buying a car was much like getting married. The dealer plays the role of mother-in-law. When he explained it all it makes sense, too. The biggest difference between the two is that divorce is easier when you buy the car. When a prospective buyer first falls in love with his bride-to-be he may be overwhelmed with her beautiful appearance. Or he may be thinking of what a great help she'll be to him later in an economical and practical way. Whatever approach he uses, the romance passes into the honeymoon and settling down stage when the owner forms some definite opinions about his bride a few months later. Manufacturers make automobiles to suit every taste and need and if a buyer is counseled honestly at the time of purchase he should avoid some obvious mistakes. His beautiful bride may turn out to be expensive to maintain so he should know this beforehand. Or she may have faults that don't show up during the courtship. If you buy your new car from our large variety of models available we'll do our best to see that the "marriage" remains just as pleasant an experience as the "courtship." And as mother of the bride, that she performs the duties expected of her well and efficiently. Water well contractors meeting at Peoria at the Illinois Water Well Drillers' Association Annual convention, reported that -they have been receiving frantic phone calls from well owners whose wells have suddenly produced "black" or "dirty" water since the big Alaskan parthquake. Shallow wells, deep wells, wells in sand and gravel, wells in sandstone, wells in, limestone--wells of all kinds have been reported as affected. •One contractor reported that a good producing sand and gravel well suddenly started pumping sand. A deep sandstone well in the Chicago area also Started producing sand. Drilling contractors from adjacent states attending the meeting also reported that wells were affected in their areak. E^urther information will probably show that all areas of the country were affected. It has long been known that water level recorders have shown fluctuations related to .earthquake activity, even of minor tremors.
