Sorry to see Don Kessinger resign as manager of the White Sox. Maybe Lippy LeeDurocher had something wtien' he said nice guys finish last. At his age, Kessinger may not want to return to the game, but he can still play shortstop better than some now holding down that position. It was only a brief meeting with the new Warrior football coach, Joe Schlender, but have a strong feeling that our school officials made a wise choice. The rains came to Johnsburg Sunday to partially spoil the day of the big picnic. Appetites weren't ruined by the weather. They had a huge crowd enjoying a fine dinner cooked by experts and served by real nice waitresses. Somebody told me the far­ mers were praying for rain while others send a message up there requesting a dry day. That made a good story except that many farmers in ATTENTION TRUCK OWNERS ̂ Due to circumstances beyond our control we will not be open for truck testing from Aug. 15, 1979 through Sept. 13, 1979.

McHENRY, ILL. 305-2000I the area are parishioners of St. John's Parish and felt they could wait for rain. Met our long time friend Joe Adams at the dinner and he was wondering what became of the old time ironmen pitchers. Joe recalled that some of the great ones pitched doubleheaders without help from the bullpen. Men often bragged that those were the days when men were men -- and women were glad of it. It has always been a mystery to me how cooks can watch more than two burners while cooking a meal. I'd never make a good chef. One time my mother left the house for a short time and entrusted a pot roast to me. I sat down to read and forgot it until something hit my nostrils. 'Twas burned on one side. Turned it. Sat down to read again. How could it happen? Mom said (among other things) that I was the only man in history who ever burned a pot roast on both sides.

THREE TEAM TIE FOR FIRST Raymond's Bowl knocked off Old Bridge-John's Sport Stop for the second time this year to cause a three way tie for first place between themselves, the Bridge and Rusty Nail Inn. j£ This marks the second time during the present season in which these three teams have been tied for first. The stan­ dings have been fairly close all year as contrasted withe last years undefeated cham­ pionship team, Old Bridge, who won going away. As the season winds down the top three teams have all flinched post season playoff positions, although their exact position will probably hot be finalized until the final regular season game. Wayne's which presently holds down fourth place, looks like a sure bet to win the final berth, with their magic number now any combination of two victories or two A.F.L. losses. American Family Life In­ surance, after finishing in last place for the last 3 years, has been the surprise of the league to most fans. While they still have a long shot at making the playoffs they would need one more victory than Wayne's - not a tie record since Wayne's bested A.F.L. 2 of 3 this season. Looking at the final 4 games of the season for each of the five contenders shows the Bridge playing Little Johns, Huemann's Water .Con­ ditioning, Rusty Nail and Oaks Marathon. The Bowl meets up with Huemann's A.F.L., Oaks Marathon and Uncle Jamie's. The Nail has to battle Wayne's, Oaks Marathon, Old Bridge and A.F.L. Wayne's will be challenged by the Nail, B&H Tap, Huemann's and Little John's. Finally A.F.L. collides with B&H Tap, Raymond's Bowl, Oaks Marathon and Rusty Nail. In the battle for first place it looks like Old Bridge has the "easiest" schedule playing the three bottom teams while .husty Nail will have the "roughest" time playing three teams which have a chance for a playofflberth. The August 22 Nail-Bridge confrontation could turn out to be the game to decide which-team wants to share * first place with Raymond's Bowl. As far as A.F.L.'s chances are concerned their first game forfeit has come back to haunt them. Wayne's is favored in 3 for their final 4 games while A.F.L. has to beat two of the top 3 teams. While not counting out A.F.L. yet, the odds are definitely in favor of Wayne's. Game of the week will bej Wayne's vs. Rusty Nail Inn. Watch a softball game this , week! All single games begin at 6:15 p.m. at any of 5 fields, every Wednesday.

McHenry Women Host Golf Tournament August 16-17 > On Thursday and Friday, August 16 and 17. Mcrfenry Country Club will be alivp with a field of 144 women/golfers representing 43 counj/y clubs from around the Mrawest. In their fifth annual McHenry Women's Invitational the ladies will be hosting some of the top amateur women golfers in the country. Among others returning for this prestigious event will be Lois Drafke with a 2 handicap. A recent article in Women's Golf Journal had a feature article on Miss Drafke who participates in many a m a t e u r t o u r n a m e n t s throughout the United States. Founded five years ago by the ladies of McHenry and spearheaded by Dolores Overton, the Pink and Green, as it has become known, has developed into one of the finest amateur events for women golfers. With the field limited to 144 participants, applicants vie for a slot in the scheduling with many of them being turned down. When the tournament was first established a color theme was chosen to give the event a flair with a difference. Since then on the two days when the tournament is held the flags flying are pink and green and the men rangers, sport pink helmets, green shirts and white slacks. In addition to the prettiness of the tournament some excellent golf can always be anticipated in the five-flight event and the public is invited to form a gallery. On Friday, the second day, the Championship Flight will tee off at 12:30. A welcome is out for those who wish to follow the ladies around and observe how these sportswomen compete in the ever-growing game of golf. ************* J McHenry * * * Leaguer1 * WOMEN'S SOFTBALL LEAGUI Playoffs will begin next Tuesday and Thursday, August 7 and 9 at West Campus.

(Ac ross from Sunnyside Dodge) 344-3580 Daily 9:30-8, Sat. 9-6, Sun. 12-5 By D. Kinsala ALL-STARS In the season's big finish, the All-Star games, Senior Division's Cindy Kinsala backed by a fantastic defense, pitched 7 full innings for the "visitors" and with excellent help by catchers Denise Boyd and Michelle Lubben gave up only 2,£uns in an 8 to 2 victory. Outstanding first base play by Pam Bradley, along with shortstop and third baseman Tony Fruscella and Kim Smith stopped 3 attempted rallies, twice with bases loaded. Short center Patti Johnson com­ pletely closed the hple through short center. The game was true "all-star" with the score only 3 to 2 going into the sixth. Home team pitchers Sara Fox, Sue Dowell and Gretchen Fuiava and a fine defense kept up the pressure. However, in the sixth inning, "visitors" Kim Smith, Patti Johnson and Toni Fruscella loaded the bases and Cindy Kinsala unloaded them with a homerun down the left field line. One more run scored to make it 8 to 2 and Cindy shutout the opponents in the 5th and 7th. Visitors Patty Johnson and Kim Smith had 3 hits, Melissa Rhode, Pam Bradley, Amy Adams and Val Gemmell two hits each. The "home" team's Randy Regner tripled, missing a homerun only on a great play by left fielder Shellie Clements. Melissa Gray and Sue Dowell both scored one run. Other "visitors" all-stars in­ cluded Gwen Bennett, Anne Bruli, Stacy Kujack and Liz Becker. Home all-stars in­ cluded Stacy Schillaci, Kris Carlson, Monique Betancourt, Judy Justen, Melissa Greve, Samanatha Barnacle, Kelly Ohler, Geraldiner Haner, Kim Hill and Lee Lindquist. The Junior Division was a thriller right down to the last out, which was in itself a thrilling play with "visitors" Jackie Boger tagging out a sliding opponent at home for 15-14 victory. The "visitors" were never behind, scoring 7 in the second and 5 in the fourth. However, a homerun by the "home" team's Tammy Sexton, a triple by Barb Edelman and doubles by Yvette Fuiava, Michele Druml, Barb Berent and Colleen Huff kept it a game all the way. Michelle Huff, Michelle Druml and Tammy Sexton also went 2 for 2. Visitors Heather Conway responded with a two run homer. As for thrilling defense and great pitching, realize that most of the runs were scored in 2 innings and both teams had a fine representation of pitchers. Home team's Sheri Knaack gave no walks and struck out two in two innings. Karen Mullen struck out 2 and Colleefi Huff struck out, 1, of only 6 hitters to face her. The girfe were great as was their entire defensive backup. On the visitors side, Tracy Hudjera, Jackie Boger, Dawn Dixon and Barb Schoen also pitched superb, giving up only 6 runs in the first five innings. They were backed up by fine plays by Dawn Dixon and Stacey Hudjera plus again the entire defense. Bear in mind that this is the Junior Division where scores often run as high as 25 to 35 runs per team. A final score of 15 to 13 is a great game in which the winners have plenty to be proud of and the losers nothing to be ashamed of. Other all-stars included Coleen Conway, Tracy Krier, Chris Ward, Stacey Miller, Katie Prust, Wendy Turner, Kathy Mauer, Paula Wray and Tracy Hoffman. / McHenry Country Club Gulf Girls Winners At COg Hill S*** Participating in the 18th annual Northern Illinois Women's Golf association tournament at Cog Hill in Lamont August 2 and 3, a number of the McHenry Country Club women returned to their home course victorious.

In Third Flight a tie between Nell Fidler and Virginia Turner with 194 each gave them the honor of sharing second place. In fourth Flight, participating for the first time, Sue Martin took first place with 190. In addition to scratch score golfing other events were in­ cluded in the tournament, among them a team event. In this event the team of Laverne Harpling, Sue Martin and Floss O'Connell took third place. " Perhaps the most exciting trophy to be awarded on an annual basis at N.I.W.G.A. is the Mary Killinger Award, presented to the golfer who, regardless of flight placement, shoots the low net over the entire field. This year the award was won by Sue Martin of McHenry. A newcomer to tournament play, Sue shot net 70-64 for a net 134 for the two days to claim the victory. The McHenry girls did well for themselves and their club and are to be congratulated.
