STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR There are more big team fights in baseball this year than seen in many a day. Pitchers are throwing at batters and sometimes plunking them in the ribs or someplace in the anatomy. They should show such control in throwing strikes. cr> Talk about bush league stuff. £?8ome 'base runners are throwing blocks better than the Bea^s. Breaking up double plays is one thing. Other ac­ tions are something else. There oughta be a law. When two players get into a swinging or wrestling match, the rest of the boys should let them fight it ; out until the managers tell ' them to break it up or the > umpire yells "Play Ball". On ; yvith the game. For our part, when we go to a game it is to see baseball. When we go to a boxing match, we •Want to see them throw pun- Maybe the fans turn out to see the donnybrooks. But, one of these days the crowd will get into the act and all hell will break loose. League presidents may have to issue an ultimatum. The fights wouldn't be so bad f players didn't suffer injuries that keep them out of the lineup for days or weeks. That hurts a team in their race for a pennant.

Charlie O' has a second crop of dandelions that are beauties. The rains came in August. The time has come to turn off the faucet for a week or two. Now they are talking about gasoline going up to one dollar a gallon by January of '78. Wow I That should increase the sale of bicycles. Or, why not license electric golf carts for people who want to go shopping? Note that nine McHenry golfers were in the money in the 16th annual Northern Illinois Women's Golf Association amateur tournament at Darien. Nice going, gals. Trust Liz Nolan will have something to say about the event in her Divot dolls column. The Club Championship race got under way last Sunday at McHenry Country Club and will continue the next two Sundays. Must check to see if Barb Weber will chauffeur us around the course on the final day. It has become an annual custom and a bushel of fun. The Chicago Bears took their lumps in an exhibition game. Maybe that defeat was the best part of their training program. Getting knocked down on your you-know-what is sometimes what it takes to put a team together.

Rusty Nail, St. Regis Squeak By In 12" Softball Playoff Openeis St Regis Takes Game One! Winners Over Old Bridge St. Regis had never won a playoff game going back to the days when they were sponsored by Old Bridge. This year's Old Bridge had never lost a playoff game going back 4 years whoa they were called Jake's and House of David. The odds finally caught tip with both teams as St. Regis took the first game in the semifinals by a 4-3 score! The low scoring contest between fourth place St. Regis and first place Old Bridge saw the eventual winners take a 3-2 lead in the first. After that neither team ever had the big inning they were capable of, scoring but one run apiece in the final six innings of play. The Old Bridge managed only six hits during the contest while St. Regis was only four better with ten. Gary Connell led off the first for St. Regis with a single up the middle. George Cadotte followed with a base hit to center. After a flyout Don Prazak stepped up and hit a 2- run double into left center. Prazak, the league's leading hitter, later scored on a two out single by Irish DeCicco. The bottom half of the first saw Old Bridge leadoff batter, Tom Les, hit the first pitch deep into the trees in right field - foul! The next pitch was a hard liner to second which George Cadotte grabbed for the out. Ron Miller singled and went all the way to third on an outfield throwing error. Joe Dehn grounded to first but an errant throw to home scored Miller and Dehn went to second base. Greg Freund, league high RBI leader with 41, singled in Dehn. Score 3-2 after one inning. In the third St. Regis went three up, three down, but the highlight was a super defensive play by Joe Dehn on Don Prazak's short pop down the line. After a long run Dehn dove for the shoestring catch to end the inning. Never to be outdone, St. Regis came up with their own defensive play of the game. Pete Merkle hit a shot between third and short which third baseman John DeCicco deflected. The ball found its way into Matt Oik's hands at short. Oik turned, threw and first baseman, Joe LaFontaine, picked up the one hop throw for out number two in the sixth. St. Regis scored the winning run in the fifth inning. After two outs leadoff batter Gary Connell singled to deep short. George Cadotte followed with a partially hit ball in front of home which went for a single. That set the stage for John DeCicco's base hit driving in Connell. Old Bridge, who managed only two singles and a walk from the second through sixth innings, tried to put together a last inning rally. The St. Regis infield was partially respon­ sible for Old Bridge's troubles as they doubled up 2 of those runners and forced the other at second base. With one put and the Bridge down 4-2 Joe Dehn doubled. Greg Freund followed with another double driving in Dehn. Freund was stranded as the next two batters flied and grounded out to end game one in favor of St. Regis. St. Regis Old Bridge 300 010 0 - 4 200 000 1 - 3 Nail Wins In Extra Innings O'Brewery Errors Costly Rusty Nail came up with the winning run in the top of the ninth, to take a 1-0 lead over O'Brewery in their best 2 of 3 semifinal playoffs. The Nail, who finished in third place this year after taking first the year before, battled back and forth with O'Brewery all night. In fact it was the second place finisher, O'Brewery, who came from behind twice to tie the score in the third and again in the fifth. But after both teams went scoreless for three innings the Nail's Bill Huff came up with his second big hit of the night driving in Dave Sundby with the winning run. Bill Huff had 5 RBI's in­ cluding a sacrifice in the third and a 3-run homer in the fourth. Dave Sundby, who scored the winning run, scored 2 others and had four base hits. Charly Sowers, the old-timer who {days his "last year" of Softball year after year, had 3 hits plus a walk and 2 RBI's in a good effort for the winners. O'Brewery scored their first two runs in inning one. Mike Janik singled and Mike Rogers reached base on error. Two outs later and one run already in, Bud Smith singled sharply to center scoring Tom Wensch, who had reached base after a fielder's choice. The Nail came right back in the second with Gary Miller hitting safely to lead off. After two outs an outfield error set up Charly Sowers two run single. After putting the Brewery down in order in the second the Rusty Nail wait to work in the third to take/a 4-2 lead. Ray Thelen and Dave Sundby both singled with no outs. An infield error set up Bill Huff's sacrifice fly, Thelen scoring. Another infield error cost the Brewery as Sundby scored. , O'Brewery tied the score at 4 runs each in the bottom half of the inning. Mike Rogers walked followed by John Smith's only base hit of the game. Tom Wensch doubled scoring Rogers. Butch Meyer hit a flyout to right, scoring Smith, but Wensch was tagged out trying to score from second to end the inning. The fourth inning saw Rusty Nail score five runs, their last score until the ninth. Charly Sowers and John Hiller both singled after one out. Ray Thelen forced Hiller at second but Dave Sundby and John Connell followed with singles scoring two runs. That set up Bill Huff's long 3-run homerun to right, putting the Nail in the lead by 9-4 score. O'Brewery chipped away at the 5 run lead scoring 3 runs in their half of the inning. Tom Janik singled, Tom Shipley walked and Bud Nystrom singled to drive in two runs. Nystrom advanced to second on the throws to the plate and then scored on Steve George's first of three base hits. TTie score was 9-7 after four innings. The Brewery tied the score with two'runs in the fifth. Tom Wensch, Butch Meyer and Bud Smith hit successive singles, Smith getting aRBI. Tom Janik sacrificed deep to left scoring Meyer but the rally ended as the next two batters made outs. Butch Meyer ended the game with a perfect 3 for 3 plus a walk and sacrifice fly to lead the Brewery. Tom Wensch had three hits, scoring two runs and Steve George had three hits. McHeniy Country Club By John Busscher It was a surprising first round to say the least as most golfers had their problems with the rain soaked McHenry Country dub on Sunday, Aug. 7. Leading the field in the club championship is Gary Adams with a fine round of 75, followed by three members, Don Hojnacki, Jim Packee, and John Wright with 77. Other contestants follow with scores from 79 to well into the 8G's. In the Handicap club chafrip- ionship Ron Becker leads the field with a round of 83-19-64 to lead his closest rival, Gary Fields, by 5 strokes. Gary turned in a score of 81-12-69 while in third {dace is Bob Schmaling with a round of 90- 20-70. There are three members tied for fourth with a net of 71. Ray Jemiola leads the Senior Handicap Division by one shot over Franz Koehler the Des Plaines whiz. Ray had a score of 89-19-70 while Franz compiled his 71 with a round of 83-12-71. Ralph Smith with 85- 11-74 is tied for third place with Doc Carelli, 101-27-74 and Fran Hamelitz, 92-18-74. As this tournament progresses the going gets a little tougher so there should be some interesting scores to report next week.
