, . . . I Legion Has Rough Outings PAGE 7 • PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JULY 22,1M1 McHenry's American Legion baseball team has fallen upon some rough timet dining the last two weeks losing four of five games. Several controversial calls, a protested game, and having some players miss the start of a game have made it difficult for manager Euss Williams. McHenry dropped a 5-2 decision at Algonquin on Wednesday, July 8, but not before some eyebrows were raised. Leadoff hitter Joe Bauml got things going in the first inning for McHenry by walking and advancing to second base on a wild pitch. After Bob Greve struck out, Dave Maurer, the leading hitter, hit apparently a two-r run down the left field line. The umpire, however, ruled that it was a foul ball since it had landed in foul territory past the pole. Maurer then struck out, but after Dave Smith and John Doessel walked to load the bases, Bauml scored on another wild pitch. Algonquin came back in its half on the inning to score twice on three singles and an error. McHenry's offense was silent until the fifth inning when it tallied its other run. In that inning, Greve singled in John Bazan who had walked and advanced on a wild pitch. That was McHenry's only hit of the game, but with Smith pitching a fine same the score had been tied at 2- 2. In the bottom of the fifth frame, Algonquin rallied to score three runs on three hits and a pair of McHenry Smith was charged with the loss allowing nine hits, while walking two and also striking out two. On Thursday, July 9, McHenry traveled to Belvidere and dropped a Connie Mack league doubleheader by scores of 11-0 and 7-3. In the first game, McHenry again managed only one hit, that being a single by starting and losing pitcher Keb Bowen. Belvidere struck early scoring three times in the first inning and adding seven more runs in the second frame. Bowen lasted only one and one-third innings in which he allowed seven runs, before being relieved by Tim Evans. Four McHenry pitchers worked the ballgame and allowed a total of ten walks. McHenry also committed seven errors in the contest. In the nightcap, Belvidere again jumped out to an early lead scoring twice in the bottom of the first inning and adding three more in the third. McHenry came back with two runs in the top of the fifth as Mike Dillon and Evans both walked after two outs and then Bauml brought them both home with a lvidere added two in­ surance runs in its half of the fifth, and McHenry added its final run in the top of the sixth on a triple by Maurer and a sacrifice fly by Smith. McHenry totaled six hits in the contest with Bauml and Maurer getting two each. Jeff Major singled in his only appearance in the seventh inning. Evans took the loss allowing five hits and two walks, while striking out three in as many innings. On Monday, McHenry hosted Crystal Lake but came away on the short end of a 6-2 game that is being protested. Trailing 1-0 in the fourth inning, McHenry had run­ ners on second and third with one out when Williams ; called for a suicide squeeze. Bob BrynUirski missed the bunt and Maurer came home crashing into the catcher. The umpire threw Maurer out of the game because he contended that the runner must slide into home. A protest has been filed because of the discrepancy of the rule. McHenry did manage to score two runs in that inning, however. Smith scored as Bryniarski reached on an error, and then he scored on a triple by Greve. Crystal Lake won the game ^coring five times in the top of the sixth inning and knocking out Brzniarsld. Two walks, an error, and a balk ljed to his downfall. ly night at Harvard, McHenry broke its losing streak by winning 6-5, despite the fact that a few of the players had missed the beginning of the game and coach Williams had to reshuffle the lineup. Smith got the victory and received strong support from his teammates who collected ten hits. McHenry scored three runs in the top of the first inning on five hits. Bauml and Phil Brenner opened with a double and a triple, respectively to score the first run. After Maurer into a fielders choice, lith, Dillon, and Evan? all hit singles to bring across two more runs. Harvard kept pace by scoring three of its own in « the first inning.. Each team tallied a single run in the third inning, but McHenry won the game scoring twice in the top of the fifth. Maurer and Jeff Major reached on a single and a walk, respectively, and then Dillon picked up his second and third RBIs of the game with a double to right cen- terfield. Smith allowed a single run in the bottom of the seventh frame, but he got the last out with the winning ran on base. Evans was the hitting star for McHenry as he went three for four with a run batted in. On Wednesday, July 22, McHenry will host Algonquin in a 6.p.m. contest McCracken field. On Saturday, July 25, the annual American Legion "Old Timers Game" will be played at McCracken field starting at 1 p.m. For fur­ ther information contact Mr. Kent Bottari or coach Huss Williams at 385-6270.

Area Riders Win sessions every week, and during the summer they have mounted sessions which prepare them for the three phases of riding at which they compete. The girls are judged on dressage, cross country jumping, and stadium jumping. Many adults help these girls train throughout the year, but most of the at­ tention is given by Lau Shook, their leader, Sara Gibson, their volunteer instructor, and Jody Cary, who supervises and prepares them for the Rally. This is only the second year of the club. In the girls' first year, they finished second in the Regionals. A young man asked, "What will be the best ,years of my life?" You would need a crystal ball to answer that one. At pre-school age, you are sort of special without a care in the world. School years are said to be the best years of our lives. With some, that is debateable. Your senior year in high school is something special. You are on top of the world. Boy meets girl and your social life perks up. College days mean hard work and serious thoughts of your future. It is also found rewarding as a fun time in life. The young man said the worst year of his life up to this time was when he spent three weeks in a hospital. "The pain was terrible," said the young fellow. Didn't want to discourage him, but told him no pain can compare with hurts in one's life. Told him I hoped he could avoid such things. When you grow older, it is best to look back on the joys and happiness over­ shadowing any unhappiness. The best years of one's life? Why not this year, next year and so on to the end of the line? Most of us like to reminisce about days gone by, but very few would want to start all over again. People ask, "Do you miss the ball games?" Huh! Does a fish*miss water? "Chuck" Peterson pointed out a sign on a bulletin board that read: WE GOT ICE $1.75 COLD When the crossword puzzle bug gets you, you are hooked. Don't know how I ever worked them before getting a special dictionary. Some of those words I never knew and will never use.

The O'Connels joined the Frank Rourkes for an evening of "Remember Whens". Just heard a news report about the threatened walkout in the postal workers ranks. How would we know, but the man says stamps will go up to 45 cents in three years if union demands are met. Another good reason to give the country back to the Indians. They got the message across with smoke signals before the white man came along. Zeller Chosen Marty Zeller, a student at Baylor University in Waco, Tex., and a former McHenry Community high school star athlete, has been chosen to participate in team handball at the National Sports Festival in Syracuse, N.Y., July 24-28.
