Lake will be hero Tuesday. Looks like the pitching staff will h«re to be in shape. Trying to write a column or iWytihlng else this week is not Nay. We lost a good friend when Doctor Froehlich was called from this earth. We hung oyr hats in adjoining offices nigh unto twenty years. He was ill for a short time and we missed him. Now We know that he isn't coming back. For three days we have felt like heavy, weights were bearing down on our shoulders. But, we mustn't feel alono in ouf loss. The entire community feels deeply the loss of a good m&n. 4 One lady jexpressed ,herfeelings best -- I am sick;,in. my heart." 4-^' One little girl refused to tielieve that her doctor and friend was gone -- .'I don't believe itr-^" llaybe he will come bapk." No, my dear, he won't come back. But, before he l^ft, we heard him say that he wanted the prayers of all -- each in his own way. He drew W lines. He was that kind of a man. We've had a lot of weather^ but not the right kind for spring sports. Local baseball will break out in a rash just as soon as the sun shines. T BMter Special- It happened as Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hettermann of Johnsburg were entering McHenry on Highway 31 on Easter Sunday afternoon. Joy Ann. 2»2 year old daughter of the Hettermann's, spotted St. Mary's church and said, "Oh, Mommy, look at the pretty church!" The mother acknowledged by saying it is a pretty church. Then Joy Ann spotted the grotto on the lawn of St. Mary's and with a loud voice came up with, "Mommy, look -- there's Jesus, on the Bar-B-Q pit!" At a meeting of county league /managers Monday night, it was agreed to take Fox Lake into the loop. This will make seven teams In the league this year. The schedule has been promised us for next week by Larry Stilling. Shamrock manager. Larry says that the Johnsburg Tigers will be in McHenry for the opener on May 9. That's a good start.

E MOVE TO FIRST - All deliveries must be as closely alike, in every detail, as you can make them. The best pitch in the world loses effectiveness if a coach or hitter can spot a tipoff in your style when you prepare to throw it. In our tryout camps I often see good young pitchers who can make their move to first very quickly, to try to pick off a runner. But, I also discover many of them are making this move at a sacrifice of their pitching potential. That is, they are letting up on the ball to the batter, and not putting their best action on it, because they are so aware of the runner. That is exactly what the runner wants you to do. We have to stress to these young pitchers that the runner is not of primary importance. ^What is important is to put your best stuff on the ball to the baiiinan from the stationary position, without a windup, when there is a runner or runners on base. A runner can score only one run; if the batsman hits a "cripple" you throw him, that can cost you an extra run. After you have learned to pitch well from the set position in front of the rubber with men on baise, then you may perfect your move for the throw to first. Deception is the idea. The move must be identical with the start of your regular delivery, so that here again, you do not tip off your intention. Of course, you miist be careful not to balk, but that is a matter of knowing the rules, and practicing the proper method in the set position. With your pivot foot (right foot for a righthander) in contact with the rubber, and your other foot forward on the mound, you hold the ball in the glove against the belt. One stretch with both arms may be taken, but the motion must be checked for one second, with ball and glove together about chest high, before delivery. When you decide to throw to first for a pickoff, be very careful That is a balk. Be careful, once you have taken the rubber, and then decide not to pitch, to step backwards off the rubber with your pivot foot f I mentioned above the importance of pacing yourself, to conserve energy for the late innings. By that I do not mean you should let up from time to time, and fail to put your proper stuff on the ball. The trick is to recognize the times in a game when you do not have to bear down, when you have a lead, for instance, with none on base. In those spots you can treat your arm easier, demand less of it. This can be done, for instance, by throwing slow curves. Then, when you do get in trouble, you will have something left, something extra to challenge the hitter. In the average game you certainly are going to need it because the hitters begin to get onto you, and the pressure of a close game becomes urgent, in the late innings. When you get in a pinch, then you must throw your best pitch, whatever it is. If you are most successful throwing strikes with a good fast ball, you must go to the fast ball. If a curve is your best bet, you have to use the curve. And you must put all the action at your command --bear down--on this crucial pitch. There is no alternative to your best pitch if you wish to follow sound strategy. If the batsman hits your best then you know you are fairly beaten; he has been better than you were at your best for that game. When you don't go to your top pitch, and are hit, you will never be satisfied you did the right thing. A good memory is of the highest value in learning to be a good pitcher. Remember the balls each batsman hits solidly, the ones which can and do beat you. Forget the handle hits, but concentrate oa the hard-hit pitches. With the aid of memory* try not to make the same mistake twice to any hitter, because if you can avoid the to avoid any 1leint which• ta-jrame mistake twice, it won t dicates a pitch to the batter^ be long ulinnftnil ^you M mistakes at all. •As related to Joe Kins.

To prevent these mishaps, drivers are urged to follow these ten commandment of boating: 1. Check your boat for construction weaknesses and leaks before putting it in the water. 2. Don't overload a boat or overpower it with a motor larger than the manufacturer recommends. 3. Keep an eye on the weather and head for a sheltered bay before a storm breaks. 4. Carry life preserve** for each person in the 'boat 5. Carry a small fire extinguisher iii all boats having either an. outboard or inboard engine. 6. Beware of larger craft underway; its wake is dangerous. 7. Don't stand in a boat, and use care when changing seats. 8. Don't drink alcoholic-'* beverages when boating. f 9. Don't be a "hot rod." Careless or reckless drivers are as much a public nuisance and safety hazard on the water as on the highways. 10. Stay with the boat if It overturns; don't, sibove all, attempt to swim for shore.
