A. Thennes. Some of the players are a little jealous and think they small a frameup, but guess Red gets the oil anyway. Pflug's four lager came just a few innings too late "to collect After Crystal Lake had trimmed HfcHenry 6-5 in the early season game, Manager Katzenberger of the Woodstock team expressed a desire to have that young man on his hurling staff, but the twenty hits good for over thirty bases that the MAACS pounded off him the Fourth merely as a means of celebrating, should make hUn change his mind. Sebre Whiting's sensational hitting that has reached to eleven consecutive games, was halted Sunday when he failed to get a hit off Liake. The plugging outfielder just keeps on poking them out and they are bound to fall safe some of the time. His average so far this season is the best on the squad although at present the actual figures are not available. The Algonquin Junior Legion team that won the championship of Mc- Henry county by trimming McHenry twice, lost to Elmhurst's strong nine in the district tourney. This is the second year in a row that Elmhurst has won over Algonquin. They cer tainly must grow them young and speedy in the suburbs as the down river youths are no slouches. iMiiiaMM PLAU5DKAIJ5R, THURSDAY, JULY 10 KAACS D&KHOH rmntXH WITH 20 HITS Tonyan and Linke compare quite favorably on paper in last Sunday's game. Linke struck out 18 while Tonyan fanned 13. Ed gave 5 hits while McHenry collected 6 off Johnsburg. Tonyan walked one and hit one while Linke made them hit to get to first, With the catching about even the big difference came in Johnsburg bunching their hits in two innings. That is tjbe whole story. Bee Boone, formerly ,i wearer of a White Sox uniform, starred for Brooklyn the day they regained the league leadership in the National. Boone hit a homer and single, besides makng4he star play of the day in the field. Boone saw Berger hit one on the nose and leaped up above the left field screen, stabbed the ball with one hand, and fell head first into the seats. Maybe they couldn't use a few players like Ike just at present. The Tom Thumb golf course located 'just east of the famous Polly Prim is now in full swing nightly. This is the latest thing in golf circles and McHenry is fortunate in having one so handy. The queer thing about these courses is that'the "dubs" seem to make the best showing, which should encourage beginners to participate. But if you can't make a good score on the miniature course, don't think that you'll be a star at the real Same. Mr. Giese, the manager, invites everyone to inspect this novel golf course. Winkel and Pflug Hit Homers As MAACS Score Eighteen Runa la Big Fourth Celebration The big guns of the McHenry baseball team functioned very effectively against the slants of the famous "Baggy" Burrows in the Fourth of July celebration, and the Crystal Lake Firemen found an early lead wiped out, and an 18-4 defeat chalked UP against them. Twenty solid blows good for thirty two bases were exploded by the winners merely as a manner of the annual celebratiori on Independence Day and this barrage sent Buhrows to the showers early In the game. , i. Wink el and tHHug hit home runs for the MAACS, the former winning the five gallons of oil donated by J. A. Thennes for the first homer of the season. Anderson also came through with a triple that scored McHenry's first run at a time when it looked 3s if they were to need them rather badly, Schoewer was a little wabbly at the start and the Lakers nipped him for two runs in the opening inning on four hits, and two more in the fourth when they bunched three more. This gave them a three run lead, as the- JOHHSBUEO WINS FROH M'HENBY 31 Liake ast Tonyan Engage In Splendid Mound Battle Before Crowd --Thirty-one Strikeouts McHenry and Johnsburg hooked up in the second edition of the 1980 "Civil War", and again Johnsburg proved that Linke was too much for the array of sluggers that the MAACS have in their lineup. The same team that pounded out twenty hits against Crystal Lake, could eke out but six off Linke and no two of these came in the same inning, except the eighth, when Fay got a scratch single on a bunt, down the third base line. He then stole second and went to third when Joe Freund's peg to second was too high and went to center field. Bacon then singled to right scoring Fay with the MAACS only tally. Johnsburg got to Tonyan In the fourth when Ed walked Yankovitch with one out. The Linke boys then tore loot>a with % pair of singles and two runs scampered home, putting the county champs two up. In the fifth another TU* was scored for the winners when <?ws Freund singled to right and stole second. He went to third on a passed ball and scored MAACS had collected a lone tally as J when H. Frarnd bunted down the the result of Anderson's triple to [third base line, Johnson's throw hitleft. In the home half of the third (ting A. Fretrnd in the back. Another things suddenly changed and the lead switched before the Firemen could put out the threatening blase. Bacon doubled to center after Schoewer had popped to the catcher Winkel drove him home with a single and went to second on Whiting's single U) center. Bohr struck out for the second time on Buhrow's slow teasers but Johnson came through with a single, scoring Winkel and then stole second. Palmer singled, scoring Whiting and Johnson. From then on it, was juBt a romp for the ambitious MAACS, they scoring in each inning but the first. Schoewer gave up eleven hits, but was never in danger after the third inning. Winkel copped the offensive honors with a homer and two singles. Fay also had three hits, including a double, and every one else was represented in the hit column except Weber, who flied out to deep center in his only turn at bat. It was hard to believe that this was the same pitcher that held Dundee Peerless, conquerors of Johnsburg, to four runs earlier in the season. "Kibby" Palmer was seen In a McHenry outfit for the first time ana tuned up with a pair of effective singles. Kibby will be remembered by some of the old timers here abouts for he played with a former McHenry team about eight years ago. MAACS-- ..... 4 8 1 r1» 4 4 4 1 ..... 5 .ZZZiis Bacon, ss Winkel, 2b .

The MAACS won over Hebron 4-1 in their previous game, but Hebron had tied the score only to have the rain wash the runs away. Hebron, with Frank on the mound, is a real threat and has turned in some real ball recently. They held Johnsburg to a tie for twelve innings before wilting away in the hot sun of the warmest Sunday so far this summer. They had already played a ten inning game prior to th^ game with Johnsburg and must have felt pretty much all in by the time the twelfth inning game rolled around. Pflug, rf ...

Staehler's Bluebirds, who recently trimmed the Bums in a close game at Dundee, will provide the opposition for the local youths, who aspire to become proficient along the lines of performances. Jack played golf at baseball. The score of the contest played on the Bluebirds' home ground was 4 to 2 and gives indication of an A-l contest for next Sunday. Since the last game, the local team has With the MAACS splitting even strengthened their lineup considerably over the holidays their record stands and are now awaiting at test for the the local club, last Thursday. May it not be long ere he is back on his feet again. at a .667 percentage, with eight won and four lost. Johnsburg has trimmed the locals twice as you all know 8 to 3, and 3 to 1. Crystal Lake nipped them once in the ninth and Walworth outran them in the mud and nosed them out in the last inning of a seven-frame contest, each of these latter scores being 6 to 5. McHenry boasts victories over Wonder Lake, Wilmot, Hebron, Crystal Lake, the Elgin All- Stars, and Woodstock. From now on the boys are going to try hard to put them all on the right side of the ledger. Stick with than and tt will help them to do it. Don't forget that there is to be a baseball game in town next Sunday even though the MAACS are traveling to Hebron. The Broadway Bums nave the use of the field for the afternoon and will play host to the Staehler's Bluebird nine of Dundee in what should be a real contest Dundee recently nosed out the Bums 4-2 on the Tri-City diamond, "fhurlwell will occupy the mound for the locals and will be assisted by Arnold Anderson, ex- MAAC catcher, who was injured several weeks ago and has decided not to risk his career by playing with the heavier boys. Arnold is the first string catcher of last year's Freshman nine at Northwestern U. and wants to retail in good shape. new players. The probable starting hurler will be Thurlwell, the speed artist, who will be out for revenge. A queer incident occurred in a White Sox game the other day. With McKain attending to the pitching a batter hit a ground ball that struck McKain on the knee and bounded back to the plate. Tate then threw the runner out at first. That's one for the book. Wonder Lake was Mheduled to play Fox River Grove at the Lakers' field last Sunday, but somehow or other they failed to show up. Must have had another bank robbery or something similar in the thriving little village down south. The Wonder Lake players availed themselves of the opportunity to see the fracas between McHenry and Johnsburg. Johnsburg plays Wonder Lake next Sunday. Big league baseball players aren't the only ones that go out for golf. The course of the McHenry Country club was honored by the presence of none other than some of our Juvexlile stars of the diamond last Monday evening. Donald Hayes and the Kreutzer brothers, William and Walter, were hitting the little pill around supposedly to keep in practice. Most of the hits were going to right field. prospective tally for the winners was cut down at the plate when EL Linke was out attempting to score on H. Smith's double to left. Meyers, catching for the MAACS at the time, was injured on the play, and had to leave the game. Manager Bobby Knox took ovrr the receiving end of the battery work and showed much of his (rid skill behind the play. Play by Play Report " FIRST INNING: Johnsburg--H Freund struck out. J.

Both teams turned in some mighty nice plays and seldom is a better game seen anywhere than was ex hibited on the MAACS' field Sunday The teams have two more games scheduled in the county league and the MAACS. are sot yet convinced that this Lhil cannot be bested. Tonyan pitched a" game that was a hard one to lose, giving up but five hits while his mates got six off Linke. However, Linke kept them scattered and boasted eighteen strikeouts to Tonyan's thirteen. It certainly was a pitchers' battle that will not be repeated until those two hurlers meet again. McCabe and Cusack officiated and kept the game rolling along very smoothly.

" Umpires--Cusack and McCabe; Sidelights of th« Big Game Gus Freund was the only player in the game that wasn't struck out When Whiting failed to hit it was the first time this year. Sib had punched out safeties in eleven straight contests prior to last Sunday. Fans have the earned run total down to a 1-0 verdict in favor of Johnsburg, but it took considerable boiling down to do it Most of the fans attending the first game expected to see plenty of arguments. They did see them. They went to this game to see some real baseball. They saw plenty. Meyers was injured in one of those close plays at the plate where anything might happen. Some of the fans think that Linke might have avoided a collision but most of the players see it otherwise. The throw was right on the plate, but low, so Meyers had to get down to get it Linke naturally wanted the plate so ran right into Meyers, it being too late for him to slide when he realized the play was being made on him. It is just such occurrences as this that mar the favorite pastime of the nation. Bobby Knox made Tonyan work better than either of the other catchers the MAACS used. Not a man reaced first after Manager Bob got the mask on. The crowd at the game was the largest by far that has ever graced the MAAC field. This compared favorably with the one attending the Johnsburg-McHenry game a month ago at Johnsburg, being of about the same number. Two more games ara scheduled in the McHenry county league between these two teams and the managers are now -striving to match dates for some post season classics. The game Sunday was as well played as most of the big league affairs and there is no reason why the performances in the future should not be of the same quality. Cusack was remembered by many of the old McHenry fans who used to watch the professional in actioil. He handled the game well even though he refused to call the balls The Fourth of July and the week-; end was a busy one at the McHenry Country club, where many players registered durmg the three-day ho'.iday. In the blind bogey tournament on the Fourth there were six playe~ who hit the bogey number of 71, so the prizes were pooled and split between the six, each one receiving $3.33 worth Of golf merchandise. The six winners were, W. C. Galitz, E. G. Henderson, W. Hoeft, Mrs. W. Hoeft, Mrs. Barrett, and F. Maierhoefer. The others who came in for prizes wiere Tom Gill, L. F. Erbach, E. E.
