His topic is "Back Where I Belong". Veeck is president of the Chicago White Sox. Tickets are available in advance in Crystal Lake at First Congregational church. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. Bill Veeck is the fifth speaker for the Ehle Lecture Series appearing at First Congregational Church, 461 Pierson St., Crystal Lake Monday, May 7 at 8 p.m. His talk will be "Back Where I Belong". Bill Veeck, president of the White Sox since 1976, has rebuilt them through shrewd trades, inexpensive but risky free-agent* acquisitions, and through a "rent-a-star" gambit of players. These players who were playing out their options were brought to Chicago for one glorius season before they signed big-money contracts with other clubs. Veeck believes that "If you're not rolling in dough you have two choices in baseball today. You either give up and say you can't compete, or you try to figure out a way to compete without money." Bill Veeck is a legend in the world of baseball having at one time or the other owned the St. Louis Browns and the Cleveland Indians, in addition to having the Sox from 1959 to 1961. Early in July of 1975, Veeck received word that the White Sox were for sale and by September of that year negotiations were started. When the announcement was made that Bill Veeck was going to be in charge of the Sox, Chicago exploded with good will, recalling the penant winning year of 1959. The details of the acquisition and the reactions of the other club owners to Bill Veeck returning to baseball is quite revealing of the workings of the inner world of sports. From the St. Louis browns of the 1940's to the Chicago White Sox to today is quite a story of quite a man. The McHenry High tennis team won a big match last week when they defeated Crystal Lake Central by the score of 4 to 1. The Tigers moved their number one and two singles players down to play doubles, and the team of Rich Sund and Butch Pintozzi surprised the Laker pair 7-5 and 6-1. It was the first victory over the Tiger sin Gary Gray's tenure as coach of the Warriors. The Warriors record is now 10 wins, 5 losses and a tie.

The Spring sports schedule is well underway at Johnsburg high school, despite the fact that the school's athletic fields probably won't be ready to support any contests this season Last fall the football field and the baseball field were among the landscape seeded, but the amount of grass grown as a result of that seeding has not been sufficient to sustain the wear and tear of athletic competition Johnsburg athletic director Jim Meyers is disappointed, but not surprised, that the baseball field is not yet ready to support home games for the baseball and softabll squads "We knew in the fall that the fields probably wouldn't be ready," said Meyers. "We also have to level the field this Spring because of ruts caused by equipment distributing hay over the grass seed to protect it." Meyers puts some of the blame for low athlete turnout for spring sports on the fact that all facilities are not ready. Meyers said that he cannot be sure about the status of the football field. He indicated that there is very little grass on the field now, and that if the field is to be ready for use this fall, it will have to be reseeded or sodded Meyers said that his personal preference would be to sod the field, and Johnsburg head football coach Mike Heimerdinger agrees Meanwhile, the baseball and softball team shave been using Tigers Field, which is adjacent to the Johnsburg Community Club, and Novotony Field for home games. The track and tennis teams do not have it quite as fortunate as the baseball squads Johnsburg's track is not yet completed. According to Meyers, two more coats of surface need to be applied to the track. And that has to be done when the weatherman can guarantee three consecutive days of 70 degree plus weather. This means that all of Johnsburg's track meets have been scheduled away, and since most Shark Conference schools are located in the Rockford area it all adds up to a lot of traveling The traveling problem particularly becomes acute as students participate in other school activities than can add to an athlete's fatigue. For example, Johnsburg high school has it prom on May 11. On that date and on May 12 the IHSA District for girls' track will be held. All the long distance bus trips the track squads have to take and the rather lengthly duration of the meets certainly must effect the quality of performance for each athlete. And because the size of the track teams is rather small, the coaches often schedule their top athletes for many events as possible That, to all the other considerations, also effects performance. Johnsburg's tennis courts are also a long way from completion, according to Meyers. The boys' tennis team holds all matches on the road. Cross Country and golf, both fall sports, have been the only two outdoor activities to legitimately say they held their "home meets on the "home" course, which was Chapel Hill Golf course in Johnsburg. Actually, no outdoor sport has had a home contest on school property. Out of the Inkwell.. Johnsburg high school will begin a "Hall of Fame" for outstanding Skyhawk athletes, athletic director Jim Meyers has announced. Coaches have already selected athletes for the honor from those students participating in fall and winter sports. Meyers will be announcing the winners shortly, and their pictures will be taken for display in a prominent part of Johnsburg high school...Johnsburg's head coaches will be conducting an "All- Sports Clinic" during the last two weeks of June. Students in grades 4-8 may participate in boys' sports (football, basketball, baseball) or girls' sports (volleyball, softball, basketball). Registration forms are available at the high school and some of the local sports shops. Ancient peoples believed comets were dragons. Teuber, rf J. Frantz, 2b Thomas, lb T.

Game 2 Child Abuse Prevention In conjunction with Illinois' observance of the International Year of the Child and a statewide conference next month on child abuse and neglect, Gov. James Thompson recently declared May as Child Abuse Prevention month in Illinois. Thompson said, "Children are our most im­ portant natural resource" and asked all citizens to "pledge their guidance and support to all the children in whose hands our future lies." Among the subjects to be examined at the child abuse prevention con­ ference May 2-4 are teenage parenthood, middle and upper class child neglect, incestuous families and compulsory parent education, the Governor said. ab h r Teuber, cf 4 2 3 J.
