* 'i . ,'•* : wqa T t OU k^t r~, by EARL H WALSH The IfcHenry County Baseball League started off on the second round of play last Sunday with onetided scores in all games. Not a close battle in the batch. However, all teams entered the scoring column this week, which^w some improvement over, the previous Sunday when three shut-out games were recorded. Local fans were none too happy in watching the Shamrocks take a 16 to 2 trouncing at the hands of a strengthened Woodstock nine. Johnsburg, a team that should be right up there in this round, overpowered Hebron's hopefuls by a 19 to 9 count. Hebron scored 7 of their runs After the game was safely tucked away and Manager Joe Frett wisely put hi:Csi s• ubs into a•c tion. Algonquin scored two runs in the first against Richmond then went along quietly until the sixth when they broke out in a rash of 8 runs. Connie Miller was blasted from the mound in this inning.

(Now if she had a cart she could he «f*ggy" Felts.) a great help to We believe that the results of last Sunday's games indicates where the power lies in our county league. Richmond won four straight games in the first round, but has sliown signs of skidding, of late. The loss of "Hustlin' Hank" Brits, hard-hitting catcher, has hurt the team considerably. Hank is in Uncle Sam's Navy and his superiors evidently thought, he wouldn't see enough water around these parts. As long as Algonquin can keep Simonini on the mound, their team will be up near the top. With Howard Judson on the mound for Woodstock and other positions strengthened, it is evident that the Woods outfit will be tough to beat. Like most teams, a steady pitcher could make Hebron formidable. The Shamrocks are "hanging on gamely, but have lost too many men to be able' to hold the pace.

E. ft Nickels Hardware k PHONE t WEST M'HfeNRY Up to the sixth inning last Sunday the Shamrocks gave the visiting Auto Liters of Woodstock a real battle--the visitors leading 3 to & at that point. Then caihe 5 runs in the sixth and away went the old ball game. Hugh Murphy was on the mound for the local boys, opposed by the much-heralded Howard Judson. Hugh got along famously for five innings, but apparently worked too hard and lost his stuff in the sixth. In the third inning he retired the side on strikes, with a couple of power boys (Judson tyid Loetscher) looking at third strikes cut across the corner. Reed went down swinging. After two down in the first inning. Woods drew a pass. Judson hit safely to left and hiked down to second on the throwin. Loetscher uncorked a hit to center to send in two runs. Woodstock picked up another run in the fifth when Judson drove a mighty triple to the weeds in center field and came home a little later when Bolger threw high over first attempting to catch Loetscher off the bag.. Larry Stilling opened the home half of the fifth with a hit to right field. Two strikeouts followed, then Dick Conway drew a pass. Bolger's hopper went through Meyers at third filling the bases. "Sonny" Miller connected for a two-base hit to right field driving in McHenry's only two runs of the day. Murphy fanned two men in' the sixth, but the Woodstock boys began to get the range. "Moose" Wagner came in to get Johnson on a fly to left for the third out. From that point the game was all over except for regulations that call for nine innings of play. Jerry Larkin's one-hand catch of Loetscher's long drive into the right field weeds added a sparkling touch to a game that had reached a drab stag's, for McHenry fans. BOX SCORE WOODSTOCK AB * .

TO BREAK the news abruptly, his name is Paul Derringer, born in Springfield, Ky., some 37 years ago. Big Paul, 6 feet 3% inches in height, displacement 215 pounds, has always been one of my favorite pitchers. In 1931, after knocking around with Danville and Rochester, Big Paul won 18 games for the Ca&dinala against 8 losses and' then took a heavy dip in 1932. The Kentucky Ri- . fleman was a complete dud in 1933 when he won 7 games and lost 27 games (or St. Louis and Cincinnati. That year Paul couldn't dent the surface of a custard pie. He wasn't much better a year later, in 1934. After that he stumbled along for a while. But he had big years in 1938, 1939 and 1940. And then again he began skid? ding a trifle, largenr through early season injuries. Just a year ago Paul won 12 and lost 16 games with the Reds-- only so-so. Not so hot for Paul--although he was no longer any kid. "In my opinion," Bill Dickey once told me, "Derringer is one of the bfest pitchers I ever tried to hit. He has more than his share of speed-- he has a fine curve ball--and he has control. I can't understand why Derringer doesn't win around 22 or even 25 games a year. I can tell you he's that good. He's one of the few pitchers I never liked to face." In any event, Paul Derringer began his 18th pro season at the age of 37 with four successive wins over the Cardinals and the Pirates, picked as the two strongest slabs to the National League. Pitching for the Cubs, Derringer may be an upsetting factor in the National League race. For the Cuba have shown the league better pitching than any one looked for. Charlie Grimm has gotten them away at what you might call spring pennant speed, where a year ago at this time thiv were deep- down in the quicksands, out of sight at the bottom. It might be mentioned here that Derringer is on a par with Bill Dickey as a field shot--and a better deer shot -- around the Florida Everglades. My guess would be that Derringer is close to being the best pitcher in either league, on a par with Mort Cooper and Bucky Walters. * • • • . Stirnweiss and Lindell J We ran into what you might call a representative gathering of baseball people a few days ago, including veteran baseball writers, managers and old-time ball players. Someone started talking about the best baseball player in the American League today. George Stirnweiss, the Yankee second baseman, drew a unanimous vote for this spot.- As Harry Saisinger put it: "Stirnweiss would have been a star in prewar days. He win stOl ke a star to postwar play. The Yankee tolelder is a strong hitter, a tne infielder and a great hase-runaer. Be is fast and smart. An all-around athlete, well up es the ecuiipetllhrc side." In the opinfoh roundup that followed, Boudreau of Cleveland and Stephens of the Browns were placed close to the Yankee entry for allaround ability. This is no news to Joe McCarthy. McCarthy was keen about his crack infielder back in his rookie days. "You'll hear a lot more about this fellow," he said a year ago after the first few days of spring training. "He can do about all you could ask from an infielder where all he needs is a little more' experience." Stirnweiss joins the combination of baseball and football stars. He was one of the best backs North Carolina ever had, a chunky bullet. McCarthy has never been any tee hilarious about football players. Joe claims they get too many shoulder, ankle and knee bruises or injuries that often return as haunting ghosts of former gridiron glory. Yet Stirnweiss and Spad Chandler, two of his best men, were, both football stars. 8o was Johnny Lindell in high school, which Johnny proved in putting that famous block on Kurowski in the 19(3 world series. Lindell is another winning type whose absence would make more than a small difference in the present t. race which may be just as steamy as the one last season that moved on to the final pitch. Lindell himself believes the Yankees' allaround power and pitching will carry them through this time, whether he is with them or not. o Cm--r Malaria _ war against malaria vterted as far back as the days of Hippocrates but it wasn't until 1638 that the first major victory over malaria waa achieved.
