PAGE 0-PLAINDEALER- FRIDAY. AUGUST S. I«7 EARL WALSH So I Hear V SPORTS EDITOR • Some sports copy had to be held over from Wednesday to tikis issue. Sorry Crossed wires and not enough space caused the change. Copy that was in real early was set and pasted in before some arrived at our desk. That's show business. .1 As soon as this splash of words is finished we are going back to a scrap book that Mrs. Tom Michelsen was thoughtful It bringing to us. There are many old items in that book. IT -- This one reminds me of the Scrapbooks my mother used to keep. There might be sports news on one page and Obituaries on the next. Such a mixture of old items makes good reading. ^The ranks of old timers keep ttoiiming. Mrs. Will (Rena) Smith is the latest to leave us. jrTwas often that we met her 90 Green St.. and had a visit, even if it was only a short visit. She always seemed young for fcer years. If we offered to give her a ride home, she let us know how able she was to walk. 4' Heaven may be crowded, but there will be a place for Rena Smith. Mrs. Charlie (Helen) Miller and members of her family were in County Stadium in Milwaukee last week when Wilbur Wood pitched a 3-1 victory for the White Sox. .According to Harry Caray, there were more Sox fans than Brewer boosters attending that »e. :h loyalty has to be ft was almost like Babe Ruth iys as crowds packed liskey Park for the opening rasion of the Yankees ty night. # Who won the game? * It wasn't a team from New >Players traded away always £em to haunt their old mates irihen they meet on the field. 3 - > Oscar Gamble must be hit- .750 against the Yankees.

Here's one from Gary Gray, a highly successful tennis coach at McHenry High. v Earl Walsh: Just wanted to drop a note in relation to Saturday's Jaycee Tennis Tourney for kids. In a day of teams going to lawyers and court to settle disputes and talk of instant replays to be used by umpires and referees it was nice to see a tournament in which the participants called their own games. It marked the fourth year of the tourney and a line judge has not been called for yet. Especially gratifying was the sportsmanship shown by all of the kids, a few of whom had tears in their eyes. Sincerely, Gary Gray Sorry I had to cut one paragraph. Can't print thank you notes in news columns. (Just let me say that all con­ cerned think the sponsors, the McHenry Jaycees, are nice fellows. Now comes another letter all the way from the big city of Chicago. 6735 N. Talman Ave. Chicago. Illinois August 17,1977 Earl R Walsh McHenry Plaindealer McHenry, Illinois Dear Mr Walsh: After reading in the Plain- dealer your request for a date on the Michael Justen house I looked through a box of old pictures in the attic. I found a snapshot of my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Justen, standing in front of the Elm Street house with two of their daughters. The picture, alas, is undated. The children, however, appear to be about two and six years of age, and there is no question that they are Verena and Uona. Since Leona, the younger of the two, was bom in 1901 this picture was probably taken in the year 1903. On the picture the clim­ bing vines reach the top of the pillars on the rounded front porch, and must have taken several seasons to grow that tall. The house, therefore, was certainly standing in the year 1900. On the other hand, my mother often spoke of visiting Aunt Kate and Uncle Mike in their lovely new home when she was a young girl. My mother was Rose, the eldest daughter of the Nicholas Justens. and she was born in 1881. Whether by "a young girl" she meant "child" On July 31, the Slo-Pc Motorcycle Club Ltd. held its District 16 and 17 (111. and Wis.) motocross race at Maplehurst Cycle park. Nearly ^2,000 spectators showed up to sup­ port their favorite riders and the sport, under clear skies and near perfect temperatures. The slo-Pokes Motorcycle club, one of the oldest club6 of its kind in the United States, has been located at several spots in the last 9 years from Powers Lake, Wise., Elkhorn, Sunburst Ski Hills, and at present Maplehurst Cycle Park in Spring Grove, 111. Past and present members have been of all ages and walks of life, in­ cluding bankers, lawyers, insurance brokers, mechanics, and grade school students. All members participate in presenting 6 motocross races each year held the last Sunday of the month, from May to October. Since this is a non­ profit organization proceeds go to various charities. Last month, at the last race, Mr. Norman Puhek, Fund-raising chairman of the Kenosha Memorial hospital was here to receive a check from the club to the hospital. A check was also donated to the volunteer members of the Boy Scouts of America Rescue unit, also of Kenosha, Wis. The track flagmen are members of a four- wheel drive club known as the Northern 111., Prairie Poun­ ders. May I note that the best track conditions are always attempted and the riders safety is always of utmost im­ portance. Another great Slo-Pokes motocross race is coming up at Maplehurst Cycle park, Wilmot road. Spring Grove, 111., on Sunday Aug. 28. Spectators are welcome. Practice will be at 8:30, first race starting about 10 and continuing all day. Come see one of the fastest growing and most physically deman ding sports at its best. For further information phone 815- 675-2558 We would like to make aware to the public the difference between motocross and the 'Hells Angels', which many people automatically associate with all cycle riders. Mrs. Lynette Banasack, Pub. Chairman - Shooting Hours Unchanged For Early Season Hunting Of Migratory Game Birds FECIAL! STEAK The shooting hours for early season migratory game bird hunting will remain as they have been for years-starting at one-half hour before sunrise and ending at sunset, with a few exceptions--the Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in the Aug. 10, 1977, Federal Register. These regulations relate to doves. pigeons. rails, gallinules, woodcock, snipe, lesser sandhill cranes in North and South Dakota, all migratory game birds in Alaska, and mourning doves in Hawaii. The same hours are being proposed for waterfowl; however, the regulations for those species have not yet been finalized. Shooting times were raised as an issue by the organization Defenders of Wildlife in a court action last year. A detailed environmental assessment was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in compliance with the court ruling. Based on the assessment it was con­ cluded that hunting during the half-hour before sunrise was or "teen-ager" is not clear to me now. At any rate this would seem to date the house somewhere in the 1890s Incidentally I believe either Aunt Kate or Uncle Mike- perhaps both-was a godparent of my mother All this has not pinpointed the date to your satisfaction, I know, but it may be of some help. I'll be watching your column for further develop­ ments. Sincerely. Robert E. Sutton (Jr.) Dear Robert: I liked your letter enough to let our readers in on the whole works. However, you may have missed a couple of columns in which I had responses on the Justen home. Anyhow, we know this beautiful home was built a long time ago-at a cost of S2.800.00. Glad to know you are a Plaindealer reader Sincerely. S I H not detrimental to migratory bird populations, including protected or endangered species. Accordingly, States may now select and set shooting hours within these times for the 1977- 78 early season.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Rusty Nail Deadlocks Series As 21 Hits Overpower St. Regis Rusty Nail 14-9 Winners Rusty Nail came out swinging as they won game two of the finals to even the series at one game apiece. Except for the first inning the winners were in command throughout the entire contest as they romped to a 14-9 victory in the best of five playoffs. John Connell returned to the Nail lineup and responded with 3 hits and a sacrifice plus 2 RBI's, but he was not the only sparkplug in a Nail lineup which had everyone hitting safely at least once. Dave Sundby provided the power with 4 hits including a homerun and 5 RBI's. Charly Sowers had three big hits, an RBI and 2 runs scored while John Hiller singled, doubled, scored twice and drove in two runs. St. Regis had their big guns with John DeCicco and Gary Connell both going 4 for 4, scoring seven runs between them. Don Prazak added two hits and a sacrifice with 2 RBI's Nail Strikes First Rusty Nail struck first as they loaded the bases in the first with one out. A1 Elliott, back in the starting lineup, scored the initial run on John Connell's sacrifice fly. St. Regis came right back to score two of their own and take a 2-1 lead into the second. Gary Connell hit the first pitch for a base hit, advanced to third on John DeCicco's single and scored on Hawk McQueeney's sacrifice fly. DeCicco took second on the long flyout and scored on Don Prazak's deep drive which went at least 325 feet against the wind in center. Not many times will you see a runner score from second on that play. Six Run Inning The second was the Rusty Nail's big inning. Charly Sowers singled with one out, went to second on a walk to Greg Johnson and scored along with Johnson on John Hiller's double. Hiller moved to third when A1 Elliott hit his second single in a row and Dave Sundby drove in both runners with a 3-run blast over Jim Lay's head in right center. Dennis Schmitt kept the rally going as he singled to left. Sch­ mitt went to second on a flyout as he demonstrated the proper technique in hook sliding. It paid off as John Connell singled to drive in the sixth rim of the inning. St. Regis went down in order in the bottom half of the inning and Rusty Nail picked up where they left off in the second. Jones Starts Rally Larry Jones led off with a single followed by Charly Sowers base hit. John Hiller hit a ground shot to first, however the fielder was temporarily blinded when Sowers moved towards second. The ball was booted and Hiller mack it to second. Sowers to third, Jones scoring. The next batter grounded to Matt Oik who made a great stop at short, threw to first and held the runners. Dave Sundby came up with another run scoring blow, a two-run single, and the Nail led 10-2. St. Regis came back with a run in the tird when Gary Connell homered after two outs. It might have been a bigger inning had not Dave Sundby thrown out Joe LaFontaine trying to advance from second to third on Pete Smith's flyout. Sundby's perfect throw nailed LaFon­ taine who was pinchrunning for Mike Conway after Conway doubled. Regis Narrows l<ead to 3 St. Regis narrowed the lead in the fifth as they scored 4 runs. Jerry Brodin slashed a single past third to leadoff. Joe LaFontaine reached base on an error advancing Brodin to third. Pete Smith flied to right scoring Brodin. £» Gary Connell singled, LaFontaine moving to second and then both advanced one base as John DeCicco tapped a roller in front of home for an infield single. With one out and the bases loaded Hawk McQueeney sacrificed in one run on a deep fly to center. After the throw to the infield the third baseman threw wildly to second and both runners scampered homcL score 10-7. Insurance Runs The winners came up with two runs in each of the final two innings. In the sixth John Connell tripled to the power alley in right and scored moments later on an infield error. Ray Thelen who had reached base on error, scored on Charly Sowers long drive to left. Sowers' hit went for a triple but the throw to the plate by leftfielder Gary Connell cut down Sowers by 3 feet to end the inning. The final Nail insurance runs were scored in the seventh when Greg Johnson singled and John Hiller walked. A1 Elliott forced Johnson at third but Dave Sundby singled to load the bases. Dennis Schmitt pounded a single into left scoring two runs. Late Inning Rally Too Little. Too I -ate Never giving up St. Regis started a rally in the last of the seventh which scored two and left two on before it was all over Gary Connell and John DeCicco both singled with one out. McQueeney flied out for out number two, but Don Prazak and Irish DeCicco slammed base hits good for a RBI each, n That was all Regis could put together as the next batter grounded to third and Rusty Nail evened the series.

Hazing Plan Discontinued For Horicon This FaU Airplanes and air boats will not be used to deliberately haze Canada geese this fall at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin, according to Ellis Klett, an assistant regional director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in Minneapolis. Klett said the FWS will use exploders-harmless noise- makers - as a substitute means of disturbance. "This form of disturbance is less effective than using aircraft and air boats, but we'll use exploders in any event." Waterfowl Hunting Regulations Proposed for 1977-78 This fall's waterfowl hunting regulations as proposed by the Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the Aug. 15 Federal Register are generally the same as last year with some exceptions. - Experimental zoning in Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio will be allowed to experiment with differing seasons in two zones. This is being tried to better distribute hunting op­ portunity within each state, not to increase the state's overall harvest. Harvests will be monitored for 3 years and if necessary, penalties will be imposed. An environmental assessment is being prepared on waterfowl zoning.
