The young Warriors playing for the breaks managed to come up at the right times with the big inning in all 11 of their wins. Bob Kuechel was the leading pitcher with a 5 and 1 record followed by Greg Freund with a 4 and 1. Other players who contributed to the fine season were the fine double play combination Department Of Conservation Tells How To Care For Wild "Abandoned99 Baby Animals Springfield, 111., May 21 - Spring and early summer is when wildlife nurseries operate at full capacity. The Illinois Department of Conservation receives many requests for information on how to care for "abandoned" wild babies at that time of year. William T. Lodge, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, stated that the best way to care for young rabbits, fawns, baby raccoons or other wild animals is to leave them alone. They have not been "abandoned" by their mothers. It is a violation of the State Game code to keep wild animals in captivity without the proper permit. " A human mother might abandon her young intentionally but wild animals don't", Lodge stated. "People see young rabbits roaming around their yards or they find a nest of baby rabbits in their lawns and when they Northern Mini Bowmen News Northern mini Bowmen are going to coerce with the weatherman and plan a sequel to the May Marathon. Scheduled for the evening of Saturday, June 1 is the "Nite Shoot" at luminous targets. The teams will compete for specially designed trophy steins. After the shoot, bratwurst and beverage will be served and entertainment by the "Archery Bows" with Joan Copley and Her guitar. Bob Wartenburg of Fox Valley Archers and Joe Mooradian from Bow Arrow Hunters will bring their harmonicas. Oscar Sommers "Shootpr's Lament" in verse and the "Doin Sisters", Whats, Somthin and Nothin, will perform! All guests who attended the rained out Nite Shoot are invited back at no further remuneration. At 8:00 a.m., Sunday morning, June 2, Oscar's flapjacks and sausage will be served from the outdoor grill and a "28 field" Club Shoot will have registration open till 1 p.m. The usual awards of medals for 2nd and 3rd place will be made for Club Shoot handicap winners but for men, women and youth first place winners, trophy chairmen, Mickey Heffernan will present handsome trophies.

The mother rabbit prefers to feed foer young after dark. She seldom visit the nest during the day. Baby rabbits that people adopt don't live long in captivity." People who adopt 'abandoned' fawns are not doing the animal or themselves a favor," Lodge said. "Cute, homegrown fawns mature into large deer with no fear of humans. They are dangerous animals. Bucks grow antlers with sharp tines and in the rutting season they have been known to attack people. A few years ago an Illinois farmer was killed by a 'tame' buck he kept in his barn lot. A doe has razor sharp hoofs and can inflict severe wounds by striking with her front fe'et. After a so-called tame deer has matured its keeper is faced with the problem of what to do with it, should he want to dispose of the animal. A deer raised in captivity cannot take care of itself in the wild." "The biggest favor a human can do for any baby animal is to leave it in the woods where it belongs," Lodge concluded. of Chris Long at short and Joe Dehn at second. Big JeffBonato was the first baseman, and rounding out the infield was little Ken Congdon at third. Gary (the arm) Hosier played left, Bill Borrelli in center ( the leadoff man ion base 23 times out of 35 times at bat) and the clutch hitting Bob Rodenkirck in right. Frank Higgins the pepper pot catcher along with his back up man Jecks Richardson did the catching, and will give future Warrior4 teams two fine catchers. Others who played were, Glen Britian a pitcher with a 1 and 0 record, Dana Wheelock also a pitcher, Harley Flynn outfielder, Gary Kumpula, outfielder, and pitcher, Jim Marsh infielder, Wally Conrad an outfielder, Richy Clark our fine manager and Steve King, score keeper, Mike Pollock, outfielder.

During the past few days there has been widespread recognition of nurses and their great contribution to the health and welfare throughout the world.

Woodstock Edges Warrior Varsify 5-4 In By Bert Hagemann The Warrior Varsity baseball season ended on a sour note as McHenry dropped a last inning 5-4 decision to Woodstock. The six game Warrior losing streak put the blocks to what had promised to be a truly great Warrior season. However, we still ended up in the first division, and with twelve underclassmen lettering, the prospects are bright for next year. The Warriors jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the game on a pair of Woodstock miscues and a timely hit, and it seemed that Tom Janik would need little help as he breezed through the first Ave innings on a paltry yield of two hits. However, the sixth inning proved his undoing as the heavy hitting Streaks broke loose for four runs after two were out to put the orange and black in arrears, 4-3. In typi- & 7 • Y THE OLD TIMER From Mary Newbauer, Chicago, Illinois:I remember when we were snowbound. My memory goes back to the days before the advent of automobiles and to a day when we had a terrific snowstorm, with drifts over the dirt roads and fields and in places over the fence tops. The young men from the a r e a , among them my brothers, came out with shovels to clear drifts along the roadway so people could travel with horse-drawn sleighs. It was quite exciting to me as a child when the youths came into our farm home for a rest and a cup of coffee. We children could not go to school which was a two mile walk into town. The drifts were dug through and the road opened. We knew nothing of snow plows in those days. What fun we had on the hills with our homemade sleds, and, in latter years, with homemade barrel stave skis on days like these.

It was not enough, however, as the Streaks were not to be denied. They put a man on first with one away, and moved him to second after a controversial pickoff attempt failed, and scored him on Crenshaw's third hit of the day, again with two out. So ended a season which up until a week ago had been spectacular. The Warriors were in the championship scramble all the way until last weekend when they were in the midst of the six game losing skid. Next year promises better things for us tho, because in addition to many returning letter men on the varsity, we will welcome out the members of a sophomore team which ended up 17-4 and they are followed up by a frosh squad which went 11-3. Ken Swanson and Dick Rabbitt did a fine job this year with the underclassmen, and if the Warriors can find their lost batting punch over the summer, we'll De awful tough to handle next year.
