mm '•7'S KUBWjP PP8W HMMtfIS 7 .11M 1984 lwthll season started with a bang:, at Johnsburg last Sanday afternoon. Mike Schaffer and Jqe Glouon were the opposing1 hurlers And both gave, a good account of themselves. Johnsburg jumped to a 4-1 lead by the fourth inning but in the first half of the fifth the Shamrock's Kits started to click and when the firing stopped they had put four runs Across the plate. The man who was responsible for these four runs was fi&uwtt, who sent a triple into deep Wt center, with the bases filled. (Keep it up Ralph). Olosson pitched the route for the home boys and struck out twelve men, 'walked one and allowed seven hits, Which is pretty good pitching at any i^ne. George Larkin made the best defensive play of the day when he speared a liner in deep right field that looked like a sure triple. 'Next Sunday the Shamrocks will Nnd the same line-up against Volo With a possible change in pitchers. 9}U Kreutzer is, also on the team and may be called upon to start Sunday.

Mickey used to do quite a bit of fighting around these parts and will be remembered as one scrappy kid by those fans whose ihemory dates back to the days when fighting was in vogue at the Bridge and the Antiocb Pklace. The feature of the Friday night card will be the Hellstrom twins, the wiry lads who made such a hit at Renehan's first show a month ago. Only sixteen years old these lads have mastered to a degree far belying their age the principles of boxing and make good use of their talents in picking on heavier and tougher looking lads. Lacking a KO punch the boys just go out and give their opponents a boxing lesson to the best of their ability The card of six boxing and ans wrestling match is as follows: Paul Shinks, Waukegaiy, vs. Paul Riley, Antioch, 147 lbs.

Saturday Coach Orr sends his team {to Miarengo to participate in the Little Conference meet in which Mareng-j, Hebron, Huntley, Richmond, Fox Lake and ' McHenry will compete, each school to enter nbt more than two men in each event. Given a break, Orr's men might come home with the winning tapes fluttering from their chests. And here's hoping they do as the boys have it coming to them. MAY OPEN OUTBOARD SERVICE STATION HERE Totals 38 5 7 \ HUNTER GOLF CLUB The Hunter Golf Club at Richmord is inviting the golfers of McHenry for a day's free play on the course on Tuesday, May 8. Trae Friendships ' tyftda Ab aaya that true friendships jrlli persist In spite of time and distance. The National Outboard Service Corp., of which Lew Hewes of Fox Lake is secretary, Is planning on opening a complete outboard service station in McHenry, handling Johnson outboard motors and outboard boats. The corporation desires to secure the services of a MjcHenry man to take charge of the branch. It now ovr.s and operates outboard motor sale^and service stations at Tox Lake Smd- Miami, Fla. It is planned to make the McHenry store modern in every respect, to carry a complete line of motors and parts and to render the same degree of service to owners that has made this corporation's business increase every year for the past eight years. lflttnti'KCiillinted Sailowtn Indians of both Eastern America and the Southwest cultivated the sunflower for its seeds, which were ground Into meal.

It isn't so much that they have a team \ that would knock them all dead as it is the fact that at last here is some rivalry for positions on the team, something: heretofore unheard of in the local high school. At the start of the season Orr thought he didn't have enough'material to even bother with a track squad. Maybe it wasn't as bad as all that, but that was the gist of the matter. Nbw the lads are out there with that do or die spirit and are fighting for positions on" the squad. Why, last night five of them were fighting it out for second place in the pole vault, Melvin Peterson having cinched first place. That's the stuff that makes trackmen. In the Invitational meet Wd last .Saturday at 'Palatine, McHenry collected ten and one-half points while Libertyville was winning the meet. Crystal Lake chased them all the way but the Northwest Conference entry was too strong. McHenry's points were merited by Kinsala placing second in the low hurdles. Captain Kinsala, if you please- Duker was right on his heels to take third place. Melvin Peterson tied for third in the pole vault and Marvin Meyers won third place in the high jump, with Ken Tonyan tying for fifth. All in all, it was much more than had been anticipated. Aurora's Exposition Park opened its horse racing season Tuesday with a splendid turnout encouraged by almost perfect weather. Many from McHenry attended the opener and pronounced it the most successful held at the Aurora park in yearn McHenry's high school golf team will attend the District meet sponsored by the Deerfield-Shields high school Saturday. With Mielvin Peterson scheduled to compete in the high jump with th^ track team at Marengo a substitute will be necessary. Captain George Johnson, Gordon Granger and Clarence Anderson will be accompanied by Willis Schreiner. This district meet is the big event of the golfing season, but this year it was augmented by several dual meets, the next one to be at Elgin May 15. Coach Orr is going to make a strong efforts to bring the District golf meet to McHenry next year with the belief that it will bring to town a lot of publicity and get McHenry High on the map as a golfing school. McHenry has a fine course and could accommodate the meet with eaae. The first competition scheduled for the McHenry Country club members starts next Sunday with the first round of a 54-hole medal event taking place. Only members with their dues paid are eligible to compete so it's high time to plank down the checks in front of E. E. Bassett, the club secretary. There will be the usual number of interesting events for club members this summer and the new interest that has been stimulated in the ranks should make them more closely competed than ever before. Two matches with the Woodstock Glen Crest members have been arranged and the dates set for June 14 and July 12. Seems like they made them early enough this season so that two more matches could be played if the club members go for them with the usual enthusiasm. Last year they held four matches, two over each course, and each club won two over their home course. Not to be outdone by the students the McHenry High and Grade School faculties are putting on a Faculty Golf Tournament to be played May 26. Either Orr or Duker are scheduled to win but "you never can tell" is an adage that shouldn't be overlooked when it comes to picking a winner of anything s*> uncertain as a golf tournament. What about the Lady Teachers? Rumor had it that they were also to compete, but nothing more has been beard. Another practice session with the Fox Lake Soft Bailers was held {Sunday afternoon and this time McHenry came out cm top. It looks like McHenry is going to have a fast team to put under those new lights that were made possible by the successful dance at the Bridge last Wednesday night Of course, all the necessary funds are not on hand, but the promoters of the idea to benefit the community are growing more certain that it can be done. ft* court was trying a caaa which had arisen out of a car accident Too say you were half scared ta death," said counsel for the irfrnntg "I know very well I was," said Hi victim, with warmth.

M'HSNRY BALL PARK TO BE ILLUMINATED The McHenry Soft Ball team i* now a certainty! This news was dispensed Tuesday night when knowledge of an order placet with a company to furnish lights for the McHenry Baseball Park was made public by Joseph M. Regner, the instigator of the idea. The lights were made possible by the highly successful dance held at the Bridge BalI>om a week ago and by the generosity of the business men who have subscribed so liberally to the idea. However, there will still remain a deficit which will most likely be wiped out by additional donations and by the gate receipts if they are found to live up to expectations. m** Baseball.
