Championship Games End C.O.F. State Tourney The finajs of the C.O.F. state basketball tournament wound up last Sunday at West Campus in a blaze of glory. McHenry and Johnsburg teams dominated the play, being winners in all divisions. To make the games interesting none of the contests were lopsided. The tournament was well attended and crowds at the championship games en­ joyed added entertainment provided by organ music and the Dixieland Band. In the tremendous job of managing the state event, cooperation of many helpers lessened the burden. All participants acknowledged the splendid facilities at West Campus. Thus ends another highly successful tournament.

And eight of the games this year are free of charge B squad games. It's a great opportunity for kids and others caught in the inflation spiral to see Major League baseball. The Sox had planned to play fif­ teen games in Sarasota (home games) during March and April. By splitting their squad and using a B squad, they are playing 23. When the A squad is on the road the B squad will play either at the home park in Sarasota (Payne Field) or at theAllyn Field training complex or in Bradenton. Other clubs are doing some of the same but few are playing so many games. Sox play continues this year until April 8. The Sox have one of the best training locales in Florida. Payne Field is in the middle of town and often sold out. The Allyn Field training area is a good one, with many fields and easy assess and plenty of parking. Sarasota is one of the two fastest growing cities in Florida-with many retired people from the Midwest liv­ ing here. How the Red Sox must think about that these days-they formerly trained here and moved away! •• • • .

There are many in the ranks who hate to see Little Old McHenry changing so drastically. The change is called progress. When we see Vycital's Hardware store closing, some of us Old Timers see one of the last of the privately owned country stores leaving us. In the early days, hard ware stores sold hardware, meat markets sold meat, drug stores featured drugs and local general stores were a place to buy groceries and dry goods. Storekeepers waited on their customers and had time for a visit. Some of the storekeepers like my uncle, M.J. Walsh, used to deliver groceries to the homes with horse and buggy (with a box on the back). If you had established credit, you could pay once a month. Maybe thirty dollars. Every kid wanted to take the check to the store 'cause you always got a bag of candy. Free! My earliest recollection of Vycital's Hardware is when they put in a separate section where they sold candy. It wasn't Fannie May, but those big candy kisses (six for a penny) took care of our needs. We wish Charles and Mary Vycftal, Alice Peet and all a happy retirement. When you lock the door for the last time, don't get the idea that McHenry won't miss you. From Tucson comes a welcome letter from Zeke and Charlotte. Let me quote one paragraph: "Thought of you on St. Patrick's Day, Earl, when I sat out in the bright, warm sunshine watching the Cleveland Indians play the Chicago Cubs at Hi Corbett field, a very neat minor league park here in Tucson, Somehow, the game didn't seem the same with very little animation, sort of mechanical like, and lacking the zip that indicated a liking for the game, not just the money that was in it. Neither team was impressive. The Indians do not look like hitters, and the Cubs, though winners, let one catchable fly ball drop for a triple, and failed to demonstrate any speed, either on defense or base-running. Have enclosed the writeup about the game, for whatever..." Zeke is thinking back to the day when the Cub lineup boasted such names as Gabby Hartnett, Charlie Grinim, Woody English, Old Hoss Stevenson, Hack Wilson, Ki Ki Cyler, Guy Bush, and the likes. Anybody in that lineup, aside from pitchers, hitting less than .300. had better have a good glove. When Zeke, Bob Weber and Gus Freund worked in the West McHenry State Bank, they used to take off for Wrigley Field regularly on their afternoon off work. Our friend Zeke is still the man in motion. He plays golf and carries his own bag. I ride around the course at tournament time and carry a pencil and score card. He jogs. I jog from my easy chair to the table when the dinner bell rings. He watches birds. So do I. but his birds have PICTURED ABOVE JAMES T. LETIZIA (Right).

Inflation must have set in when he paid $3.50. My only bike cost $2.00 (of course, it didn't have a chain or seat). We both work crossword puzzles. That's one place where our activities mesh. When Zeke mentions the difference in ball players from then to now, I am reminded of the year when Babe Ruth wheedled the Yankee owner out of $80,000 for the season. Such a salary was unheard of and the owner remarked that it was higher than the salary of the President of The United States. The Babe countered with, "How many homeruns did he hit last year?" Spring must be here. We are putting up the "Stringer Wren House" in hopes that our little friends will return. That little beauty of a house attracted the little chirpers last year when all others failed. Thinking of Landmark School, which wasn't a landmark in our day, brought back memories of the highboard fence that separted the boys from the girls in the play ground. No indoor plumbing in the school in those days. Fence or no fence, it didn't keep the boys from throwing stones against the walls of the girls little house out back.
