f PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27,1980 Plaindealer Brake Parts vs. Wayne's West End Brake Parts came alive as they pounded out 34 hits to defeat Wayne's West End 32- 1. Seven straight hits by Patti Thelen (4-5), Diane Wilson (3-4), Dorothy Kupstis (4-5), Mary Mclnerney (5-5), Vicki Kopsell (4-5), Linda Lent (4- 5) and Bernie Shaver (4-5) started off the first for Brake Parts scoring four runs. In the third Brake Parts sent 26 girls to the plate, crediting 13 singles, and six doubles, two by Shaver, one each by Kupstis, Debbie Thornton, Wilsonand Kopsell, with Mary Mclnerney hitting two homers, and Dot smashing a homerun before the side was retired. In the fourth, seven more runs scored with Thorton getting her second double. Wayne's West End reached base seven times $ with two hits, and scored one run in the top of the third scoring Cindee Weyland after Vel doubled. River Shannon vs. Oak's Marathon Oak's Marathon's sound defense and timely hitting put a damper on River Shannon as they came away with a 10-2 win. Cookie Stanowski pitched her way to another victory giving up only six hits and one walk and also scored two runs offensively. Mary Ellen King and Kathy Barry both had "hot bats as each went three for four, and scored one run. Kathy Rogers homered twice going two for four, as her teammates Roni Rogers and Joyce Henning also went two for four with all singles. Although River Shannon's offense lacked, Annette Coughlin, playing third came up with nice defensive moves when she robbed Oak's Marathon of base hits when she caught four sharply hit line drives.

Roni Rogers EARL WALSH' So I Hear We have a winning streak going at our house. This is the third day in a row with no appeal in the mail for a donation. The weather last week was the kind that prompts air conditioners to konk out. Often wonder how we lived before air conditioning. We didn't perspire. Nope. We sweat. Maybe some of you did as I did when it was too hot to sleep upstairs. Take your pillow and go downstairs and sleep on the floor near a window ¥ SUDDEN THOUGHT - How great it would be to hear our long gone friend Elsie Woodburn recite "Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine". The recitation came after a couple of nips. With the opening of schools for another year, some kids still think the term should be three months and a nine month vacation. When I tried to tell one boy that he only has six months (180 days required) of school, my arithmetic didn't go over so big. Was reminded recently of the time the pipes froze and our school had to be closed. Some so-called students, mostly boys, were hoping the blamed pipes wouldn't thaw out until summer. One thing will have to be said for our country these days -- everything is on the up and up. Wages are up. Unem­ ployment is up. Cost of living is up. Inflation seems to be going that-a-away, too. Tom Bolger has a ready retort when I recall days when the Comiskeys lived on the east side of the Fox river. When the Sox won, they would hang a lantern on the bam to let the fans on Irish Prairie know the good news. Tom says one can of kerosene lasted several seasons. After a long illness and loving care, death came to Frances Froehlich, mother of our editor, Adele. As Frances Welch, a Main St., neighbor, she was one of my grade school teachers ~ learned and understanding. As Frances Froehlich, she served faithfully on the McHenry Library board. In recent years, it was a case of a clear mind, but physical handicap. Another good person has gone up there to smile down serenely on us below. Since writing the above, I read Adele's "Musin' and Meanderin'" column of last Friday. That column has to go down in history as an all time great. Never have I read a finer tribute. Sorry, Jim Payton, that offer to buy the White Sox wasn't accepted. It fell a few dollars short. Frank Rourke had a loan of $20,000 dollars lined up to buy the Sox, but couldn't line up the other 19 million plus. It just slipped away. THE CHAMP --- It isn't something new, but Art Jackson is the 1980 champion at McHenry Country Club. Scores were very close Sunday afternoon as Art increased his lead to five Johnson Of Takes Fifth Elgin M.W.I Two-Day Playoffs Start In Women's 16" With each year topping the preceding one, the Fixth Annual McHenry Women's Invitational concluded Friday as the most suc­ cessful to date. Having been plagued by the weather in the past two years it was with trepidation and crossed fingers that the "Pink and Green" got under way Thursday, the 21st of August. A newcomer to the tour­ nament, and the daughter- in-law of a local couple, Brenda Pictor of Columbus, Miss., sporting a 4 handicap, shot a brilliant 77 the first day to take Medalist. Four shots off that mark were Wyn Kouzmanoff of Medinah and Kate Johnson of Elgin C.C. with 81 each, and Allison Finnery of Exmoor and Cherie Paddock of Renwood with 82 each. Making the turn from 9 on the second day out, Kate began to close the gap, being two over for the day at that point. While Pictor, Kouz­ manoff and Finney were finding the slick greens difficult to handle, Johnson, with the calm of a pro , picked up birdies on 15 and 16 to offset her two over and parred the other seven holes for a par 77 total for the day. Combined with her first day 81 for a total 158 Kate Johnson claimed the championship. In First Flight Peg Gannon of Spartan Meadows won with 89-92, total 181, followed by Corrine Mar- cello of Carriage Greens with 86-96, tota>812. Our own Carol Cooney took third with 94-98, total 183. Second Flight produced Suzanne Crow of Village Links as tpe winner with a 197, followed by another McHenry gal, Lynn Schmidt in second place with 198. Third place was won by Pat Bermes of Deerfield with 200. Judy Jaros of Village Links won first place in Third Flight with 197. From Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., but playing out of North Glen, Pat Burke totaled 200 to take second place. A local player, Floss O'Connell, took fifth in the same flight with 204. Topping Fourth Flight was Betty Mohan of McHenry with 212. Also with 212 for second place was Letty B u s s c h e r , a n o t h e r McHenryrite. Ellie Can- tagallof Sunset Valley and Marlene Smith of McHenry each shot 214 to tie for third and fourth places while Nancy Wilkins, McHenry, took fifth with 217. In conjunction with the tournament, a contest for longest drive on No. 13 for the first day was won by Ruth Heal of Kishwaukee in Championship Flight with a drive of 232 yards. Jeanne Watkins of Medinah won in First Flight with 212 yards. In Second Flight Lynn Sch­ midt of McHenry had longest drive with 178 yards. Lillian Eger of Buffalo Grove with a 177 yarder took the prize in Third Flight while Mary Kolar of Foss Park in Fourth Flight drove 164 yards to win the event. Second Day Low Putts over the entire field were rolled in by Nell Fidler of McHenry who putted only 27 for the day. Emanating from the mind of Dolores Overton six years ago the idea of the Pink and Green caught on like wild­ fire, and has fast established itself as one of the most p r e s t i g i o u s w o m e n ' s amateur tournaments in the area. To quote Paul Rivard, long-time pro of Glencoe and Tally-Ho, who annually comes out to head the Rules committee, "This is the best- run tournament in Illinois." HEADED FOR VICTORY-is Kate Johnson from Elgin Country Club, who won the McHenry Women's Invitational golf tournament held last Thursday and Friday at McHenry Country Club. Johnson passed Brenda Pictor,the first round leader, on Friday by shooting a 77 after a Thursday round of 81. STAFF PHOTO-JOEL WAK1TSCH strokes after entering the day 3 up. Art wasn't forced into the old Jackson magic of other years when Ed Buss and he put on some great shows. Ed Buss wasn't in this Fearless Foursome and the crowd missed the tossed clubs and prayers of other years. It wasn't the same show. Our new sports editor, Joel, was out with his camera to cover the event so I won't chance too much duplication. Art finished the 72 hole tournament with a 298 total. Tim Martin had 303, Dennis Jackson and Gary Adams were tied for third with 305. Might add that Ed Buss posted the same 305 in another foursome. Bill Gutzmer was all smiles after capturing the Handicap event. Paul Fidler won the Senior honors and was also one happy fellow. As we rode over the beautiful course, Barb Weber driving and me sit- tin', the weather was all one could ask for. We hit a couple of bumps and decided to speak to Greenskeepcr Mike about them. He'll probably hand me a shovel. Can't offer any complaints to Mike's wife Lil. In her usual friendly, efficient way she served the food and beverage to the happy crowd from the little house in the woods. That's a great stopping off spot. Some of the crowds of other years turned out to see the fun. Some were missing. Some new faces appeared.

Pat Hebgerg led the winners with three hits, followed by three others with two hits. Tony Aiello had three hits for the Palace. Hautzinger Concrete finished off a disappointing season on a high note as they beat playoff bound Old Bridge-J.S.S. 13-11 in game two. Harry Groll and Mark Mayer paced Hautzinger, both were 3-4 with two runs scored. Six others had 2 hits as every player in the Hautzinger Concrete lineup had at least one hit. Greg Freund and Brian Wilson led the Bridge with three hits apiece. In game One Thursday, Foxhole finished off a banner season, as they beat another playoff team, 3-D Bow, 9-2. Foxhole was missing three starters but still managed to pound out 12 hits as winning pitcher Denny Meyers gave up just four in return. Dick Kazlausky was 3-3 for Foxhole, followed by Jim Yaworski, Rich Meyers and Gary Fairchild, all two for three. Little John's also polished off a playoff team, in Nancy's, as they rolled to a 15-4 win in game Two Thursday. Mike Peterson was 4-5 with two runs scored to lead Little John's, followed by Randy Vauk, Ben Himpleman and Kerry Decker, all with three hits. Tom Spasojevich and Ted Freund had two' hits for Nancy's. KAZ WINS 16-INCH CROWN ON LAST DAY , Dick Kazlausky, of Foxhole Tap, had three hits in three at bats on the last day of regular season play to "steal" away the batting title from Tom Spasojevich of Nancy's. "Spaz" led the league most of the season, but went into a late season slump, going just five for his last 12 at bats, and two for his last four to finish the season at a .608 clip to Kaz's .625. Foxhole led the league, as they placed six players in the Top While the day didn't bring out the tense excitement of other years, my day- was great - even picked up some of Kitty Evans' lipstick on my cheek. The courtesies of the Club and of Vale and Marge Adams don't go unnoticed or unappreciated. It's friendly. Another year and another chance to say Con­ gratulations to a top- notch golfer and "Good Egg" - Art Jackson. Now I can look forward to another year. Right before one and all, Barb and I made a date for next year - God willing.

Three consecutive singles in the top half of the second put the Bridge in front, but Foxhole came back with two more in the middle innings knotting the score of 4-4 after five innings of play. In the bottom of the sixth inning, singles by Bill Meyers, Myron Bentz and Ron Miller out Foxhole ahead for good as they won going away, 6-4. Foxhole leads the series 1-0. Game 2 In the second game Thursday night, Foxhole got two runs on three base hits in the second inning, and the defense held Old Bridge to two runs on nine base hits throughout the game, as they picked up the winning run in the fifth inning to win the series two games to none. Final: Foxhole three, Bridge two. Twig Miller led Foxhole as he went 5-7 in two games, followed by Dick Kazlausky who was 3-7. Doug Freund led the way for Old Bridge as he was 4-8 in two games, followed by John Pitzen who was 3-6. Both games were well played and the outcome could've went either way. The Bridge held the lead in game one until the fifth inning, and in game two they had many chances to take the lead with a runner in scoring position and two outs, but they couldn't come up with the big hit. Both defenses were superb as wily nine runs crossed home plate in the entire series, very low for both these teams. NANCY'S VS. 3-D BOWL, Gamel In the second game Tuesday night, Nancy's scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning, on some clutch hitting and a couple of costly 3-D Bowl errors. That was the end of their offense, until the sixth inning, when they got two more runs on four hits, as they took what appeared to be a commanding 7-3 lead into the top of the seventh inning. It was not to be, though, as the 3-D Bowl offense got untracked, picking up six runs on five hits, a walk, and a very costly error which brought in the tying and winning runs enabling 3-D Bowl to take a 1-0 series lead into Thursday night. Final score, 3-D Bowl 9, Nancy's 7. Game 2 In the second game Thursday night, 3-D Bowl scored four runs in the middle innings and two more in the sixth, to take a 6-3 lead into the top of the seventh inning. Nancy's started a rally, though, picking up two runs on a hit, a walk, and two errors, but could not get the tying and winning runs around from second and third base. Final score: 3-D Bowl 6,Nancy's 5. 3-D Bowl wins the series 2-0 and will go on to the playoff finals to meet Foxhole Tap in a best three out of five games, to decide who is this years' 16-inch playoff champ. Leading the way for 3-D Bowl was Larry Jachec who was 4-7, and he was followed by Bill Havemeyer who was 3-6. Dave Smith and Denny Smith led Nancy's both going 3-6.
