%'• T ragt roar THE MeHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday* May 28* 1964 SO I HEAR ... If your Sports page of last week looked like a conglomeration, let us admit it was. After the first run was off the press, the roof fell in and there wasn't near enough room for all the stories. Then, just try to explain. There's no business like-- Tom Simpson, who was interested in some stories that fell by the wayside, was one fellow who saw the problem\ without an explanation. Nice to know you," Tom. As we pulled out of the yard Tuesday evening, our neighbor, Ford Hanford, yelled to inquire how the Sox came out. Ed Doyle was in earshot and caught on that Ford really wanted to get us started on that 19 to 1 plastering job the lowly Mets gave the Cubs in the afternoon. Of course, Ed knows we never would have said a word if Ford hadn't brought it up! For the longest time we had one wild rabbit in. our back yard. This week there are three. Looks like we are in business. Manager Ed Mack must have those Johnsburg Tigers up to their old tricks the way they are scoring runs. As our old. friend "Johnny Butch" Freund used to say, they smash the ball. Chuck Pierce has taken over the managership of the Shamrocks and has a ^lot of good ideas for bringing back interest in the team. The boys lost d 3-2 game to Richmond last Sunday, but showed signs of life to come. The boys travel to Crystal Lake for a Memorial Day game, then play Dundee here Sunday. GEORGE KOCH-- « McHenry High and Coach 1 Don Seaton in particular are real pleased with the showing - George Koch made in the state meet, winning second place in '* the 100 yard dash. It was a nice honor to bring * to McHenry, George, and we join the crowd in being proud of your showing. - We will miss McHenry's big Memorial Day parade this year since we will take off early --Saturday morning for Dubuque : to pick up our daughter and t-that unbelievable load that one ~girl can take to school each year. Bert Stittgen announces a big celebration as the Arnold Palmer putting course opens at Fox Lake this weekend. It won't be long before McHenry will have a miniature course at the Just For Fun Roller Rink. Should be another good form of recreation. We had a real good time in a recent visit with Mrs. Nettie "Grandma" Weber and, of course, wanted to see her assortment of old pictures. What surprised us was the stack of real old newspapers that Grandma has saved. Many historical events are listed on those pages. A Plaindealer of Feb. 17, 1910 carried quite a story about the Terra Cotta factory opening up jobs, wanting seventy men from this area. Wm. D. Gates, Superintendent of the Terra Cotta factory, wrote a letter to the late Simon Stoffel which was read at a public meeting in the village power house. Wages ranged from 15 to 30 cents per hour, ten hours a day, six days a week except half days off on Saturdays during the three summer months. As a selling point, the letter stated the following: "Eighty men at only the starting wages of 17c per hour will mean over $4000.00 per year to your town so think everyone should do all they can to get a train and men started down here." We wonder how many Old Timers can remember these days in McHenry. That same issue of the Plaindealer carried a note that the Ringwood Ladies Aid society planned a bazaar and dinner. The dinner was 25c for adults Discount Tire Sale BUY 3 Get 1 FREE McHenry Tire Mart 8081 W. Main McHenry Phone 385-0294 [ion Benton Wins inference Golf ournament Here Eight teams came to McHenry Country Club last Tuesday for the North Suburban Conference Golf Tournament. Tee-off time was at 1:30 p.m. As the boys made the turn for 9 holes McHenry was leading by one stroke over Zion and by 3 strokes over Barrington. Zion made a strong finish with a 4 man team total of 329 followed by Barrington 334; Crystal Lake 335; McHenry 337; Palatine 340; Libertyville 357; Dundee 376 and Woodstock 382. The top four teams showed a difference of only 8 strokes to indicate the closeness of the tournament. Low medalist was John Saville from Crystal Lake with a 77. Second place medal went to Dennis Daly from Zion with a 78. Buzz Frett shot an 80 and took the 3rd place medal and Bill Funk placed 4th for the medal with an 81; both were from McHenry. Fifth place medal went to Chuck Mallon from Barrington with an 81. Bill Funk beat Chuck Mallon in a play-off for 4th since both were tied with 81's. Others members of the McHenry team who participated were Jim Hans, who shot an 83; Chris Newkirk, who shot a 93 and Craig Adams who shot an even 100. The four best scores of each team are totaled to make up the team total. McHenry Country Club 2\vot 2wK' » RINGER TOURNNAMENT started today, and looking over the score sheet we notice some good scores turned in for the first day. Betty Moss came in with a 94 and Emily Hester with 101. Lil Burns had a very fine 49 on the first nine but ran into some trouble on the second nine. In Class C Joan Schlosky turnfed in a 115 and Sully Consago and Liz Nolan with 116s. In case some of the new golfers do not understand hoto to take care of their scores from week to week in Ringer, there is a sheet on the bulletin board explaining it very clearly. Winners in LOW PUTTS, include Class A, Emily Hester with 28 and Betty Moss with 30. Class B, Jean Weyland with 32 and Petey Hanley and Ethel Conway with 33s. Class C, Mabel Smith with 32 and Gerda Wesilius and Nadine Larkin with 33s. May 30th will be the last day to sign up for GUEST DAY. Please do not neglect to do this. Remember each member may bring one guest if she so desires. We were told that Bonnie Ladd had some difficulty starting her cart this morning. All that held up the repair job was a little old screw driver, and they are hard to come by in the Ladies Lounge. All turned out well, however, after a slight delay she was on the first tee ready to go--perhaps a little shook up. and 15 cents for children. Of course, the supper was more reasonable at 15 and 10 cents. Reminds us that the ladies will serve a dinner Saturday night of this week in the Ringwood church. The price is up a little since 1910, but the meals are wonderful. Sorry we won't be home to meet, greet and eat.

The final score was 3 to 2. The winning pitcher, a veteran from Richmond named Dieddrick, wasn't very fast, but mixed his pitches up enough to strike out 16 McHenry batters. This doesn't take away anything from Phjl Schmidt who went the distance for McHenry. He showed a lot of stuff out on the mound. All he needs is a little experience. Lauren Miller drove in the winning run, with a sharp single over second. Although they lost their first two games, McHenry is getting stronger and more organized than in the past. What this team needs is a little more support from the people. Come to the games. It's McHenry's team. Let's help support the boys.

LOCAL LE6I0N SPONSORS BIG WRESTLING SHOW AT McCRACKEN HELD JUNE 13 It may not be the Fourth of July, but fireworks will be the order of the day on Saturday, June 13, when big time all-star professional wrestling will be brought to McHenry at Mc- Cracken Field by the American Legion Post 491. Negotiations have been completed for the finest of TV talent, the show committee announces that they have exceeded their expectations by signing one of the most outstanding cards presented in any arcna. As Ed Reid, chairman, said "It wasn't easy, but as long as we're going to be first with this type of show, we'd also like to bring in the best." All of the talent of the card has been on regular TV channels in the past and are currently being seen on UHF Channel 26 out of Chicago three nights a week. Powerful Poffo The top bout will pit Angelo Poffo, current Midwest heavyweight champion, against The Mongol, half-human looking behemoth from Mongolia. Poffa first gained recognition as an oustanding athlete when he was written up in Robert Ripley's column for having done 6000 consecutive si tups, still a record. The Mongol's outstanding feature is his tremendous strength. On TV recently, he was asked if he could break a basketball. He squeezed it between his chest and arms and split it from end to end. His manager says that he ha? never utilized all the strength he possesses. In another headliner, Billy Goelz and Johnny Gilbert, Midwest Tag Team Champions, will meet Nicoli Volkoff and Johnny Kace, outstanding challengers for the title. Goelz and Gilbert have been together since 1957, when they captured the Championship, longer than any other team has held the title. This will not be the first meeting of these four. In a recent TV match from Marigold Gardens in Chicago, Gilbert and Goelz were taking turns body-slamming Kace when the ring caved in. The supports under it collapsed, sending Kace through until he was out of sight. Volkoff ran to his aid and was promptly put into the hole on top of Kace. The referee stopped the bout and declared it 'no contest'. This will be the return match, and the title might change hands. Huntley Policeman In a special bout Bob Longo of the Huntley Police Dept. will face Farmer Jones, Texas pig farmer. Bob was trained under Lou Talaber, and is said to be the outstanding pupil to come out of Talaber's wrestling school in Chicago. The Farmer is classed as a Spoiler, due to his record of running the ambitions of young and eager wrestlers on their way up. The date of this outstanding Tiger Attack Wallops Elgin Merchants 17-6 The Johnsburg Tigers continued their fine hitting with a 15 hit attack against the Elgin Merchants last Sunday for a 17-6 victory at Elgin. It was the Tigers' third straight win and the third straight victory for Ted Freund. TedB struck out 8 and allowed 7 hits. Chris Bennett led the Johnsburg hitting attack with two doubles and a single. Third baseman Jim Hermes also had two doubles and Dick Hitter a long home run in the sixth inning Next Saturday, Johnsburg will play Richmond at Johns burg and Sunday they will play Crystal Lake at Johnsburg.

It looks like we could have a sellout show." License plates from 21 states carry some sort of state publicity. . SPECIAL REPORT ON SHAMROCKS by CHUCK PIERCE (Mgr.) I started managing the Shamrock's after the hair raising loss to Johnsburg the 17th of May. I've played with McHenry sine 1956 when I was a senior in high school. This team has never really been organized during this time. I like to Cplay ball, as do the other boys on the team. I felt it necessary to quit playing ball and try to organize and manage the Shamrocks. In one week, I put a team out on the field, which I thought was very satisfactory. We lost our first game 3 to 2 in ten innings. This is a little better than 23 to 3. I would like to think that this is McHenry's team. We have been running the team on danees, donations, etc. What I'm driving for is a town team, supported by the town. It takes about $450.00 a year to run the Shamrocks, and I don't think it is fair to put this on certain business men, who have been patient and generous, i Here is a financial report on how we stand. What we owe now The League Elgin Sports Center $ 90.00 (per yr.) 67.00 45.00 $202.00 Future bills: Baseballs (per yr.) 60.00 Umpires (per yr.) 160.00 Miscellaneous items (such as telephone calls) 25.00 (future bills) 245.00 (bills payable) 202.00 If the $447.00 a committee of some of towns people could be formed to help run the Shamrocks, I think McHenry would have a team to be proud of. Like I said before, I would like to think that this is McHenry's team. I hope that I can count on McHenry, as a town, to cooperate and help me in organizing the' Shamrocks. It really wouldn't be a hard task and I know the town of McHenry can count on the Shamrocks to promote good sportsmanship as well as fellowship. Remember this is your town team. Thank you.
