Bob Piesert was another'"fellow who came through in great"style, driving in the winning ran and fielding perfectly. Mike Santoro's no-hit game at Woodstock gives further indication that the Shamrocks are going to be hard to beat this year. With top pitching and fellows who can clout that ball, it's going to take a lot of talent to beat them. We had to walk in the Memorial Day parade and heard comments along the way. No horse : A letter signed "Prank Kempfer" enclosed a heading from "S.I.H." showing bushy hair and marked "Curly". Do you suppose Frank had some help on that? Oh, no! Dreymiller wouldn't think.of such a thing. Mike SiVntoro. who hurled great ball for the McHenry Shamrocks in winning the county championship last season, is back with the team. --And how he's back! Mike pitched a no-hit. No-run game at Woodstock Memorial Day as his mates pounded away to % 14 to 0 victory. Santoro struck out 12 batters and nary a ball was hit to the outfield. He issued three walks, but nobody got to second base. That's pitchin', pardner, ia any league. ') Roof Falls la The roof fell AnJ on Woodstock in the third inning when the Shamrocks scored 12 runs on 9 hits. Every man in the lineup scored. with Conway. Miller and "Guv" Bolger getting added exercise with two runs apiece. McHenry's offense tamed down after that big inning, picking up a run in the fifth when Gerry Larkin walked, stole second and scored on Harry Stilling's single. Lang finished for Woodstock in impressive style. While the Shamrock outfield trotted back and forth with no chances all the afternoon, the infielder's came up with nice plays. Long throws by Larkin at short and Miller at third rate mention. Congratulations, Mike Santoro. It happens once in a life-time to a few pitchers. |MERCHANTS WH 2 T01 FROM ALGONQUIN ( Nye And Peisert c 'r% Come Through In ' h Ninth Inning * r Memorial Day had l*?ti*!§» nificance for Manager Harold Freund and his McHenry Merchants as they won an air-tight baseball game from Algonquh) on the home diamond, 2 to 1. It was the old one-two punch by Harold Nye and Bob Piesert in the ninth inning that put the game away Tor McHenry. With one out, Nye cracked a triple over the center- fielder's head: Algonquin held a pow-wow to determine their strategy. The infield played hi for a play at the plate and Blanken pitched to Peisert. Peisert bunted foul on au attempted squeeze play. In came another pitch and Peisert lined, it over the second baseman's head for the pay-off. The Merchants played heads-up ball, evidently inspired by the presence "of a classy battery on their side and everything to gain In beating mighty Algonquin. Nifty Battery Stab was the McHenry pitcher and Eiserman the catcher. Both were plenty good. Stab allowed no hits' and no runs after the fifth inning and showed reserve strength by striking out Blanket and Bangart fn the ninth. Eiserman, a short, stocky fellow, showed nice form and ability to throw that ball. Throwing from a squatting position, he picked Blanken off' third in the sixth inning to get out of trouble. Algonquin scored their run in the fourth when Boyd walked and tore around the bases when Peterson lost Fitzgerald's drive after a hard run. Boyd messed up Eiserman's grounder in McHenry's fourth.

Sanders hurled the first six innings for Johnsburg. then turned the job over to Eddie Jackson as part of the rookie movement now going on in the Tiger rebuild - ing program. Eddie went about his job in a workmanlike manner, facing only 9 men in his 3 inning portion of the game. Bud Meyers, former star who has been sidelined due to an injury, returned to the lineup and is sure to strengthen the team.

Naturally A man entered a drug-store and asked for a dozen two-grain quinine pills. "Do you want them put in a box, sir?" asked the clerk, as he was counting them out. "Oh, no, certainly not," replied the customer. "I was thinking of rolling them home." Slightly Garbled "Mrs. .Smith, did you say, fn the hearing of my little girl, that I was a great rusty cat?"

Waiter: "Well, you see, it's hot today, so we thought we'd let them run around barefooted." The lady and her dog boarded a train for a cross-country trip. When the conductor approached her she said: "I presume, sir, that since I have purchased a first class ticket for my Cuddles, she'U be permitted to ride in a seat just like other passengers." "Yes, madam," replied the conductor, "she'll be permitted to ride in a seat, provided, of course, she doesn't put her Teet on the upholstery." 1949 Ante Production The 53 automobile manufacturers in the United States set a new production record in 1949 by turn ing out 6,250,000 cars, trucks, and busses.

Coffee Prices The lowest wholesale coffee price reached In this country in modern1 times--for green, that is, unroast-w ed, "Santos 4s," a basic represent; tative quality -- was 5% cents a pound in midsummer, 1940. The highest was in mid-November this year, 51 Vi cents. (The trade points out that green coffee loses 16 per cent of its weight in roasting, which is, of course, a factor in determining consumer prices.) m« item* uwntrt Find R«s«s Excellent Way to Beautify America has more new home owners foday than at any time in history, and a great majority of them are confronted with the problem of ' beautifying property that has been swept clean by bulldozers . and heavy construction equipment Of the many solutions to the problem of beautifying new property, the rose offers one of the most rewarding and least costly. A recent survey made by a nationally known publication reveals that nearly one trillion new homes were started in i that builders report encouraging prospects for 1950. Many of the new home owners will be making their first attempt at the art of gardening and will want to achieve lasting results without a heavy cash investment. Top grade roses are hardy and long lived, and their cost is most reasonable. For instance. Fashion, Mission Bells, Capistrano and Sutter's Gold, winners of the All- America Rose Award for 1950 can be purchased as a group for less than ten dollars, and will last for years with proper care. Perhaps the most attractive feature of these and other modern roses is their long blooming period which last from spring until freezing weather is the fall. No other hardy plants produce flowers so long or so constantly. Another attractive feature of roses is the ease with which they can be grown. By following the planting directions given by garden editors and leading nurserymen, any amateur can grow roses successfully. Caring for the plants during the growing season is relatively simple and does not require an excessive amount of tune. The rich reward of flowers more than repays the gardener for the care given. Luiber for Hone Taking an average, every year enough lumber grows on 16 acres of young forest in Oregon and Washington to build a modern all wood five-room home.

According to Crosby Kelly, the Fair's executive manager, and Fred T. Whiting, vice-president of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which will sponsor the exhibit in its summer-long presentation on the city's lake front, it will include atomic energy developments, some of which have been previously confined largely within the closely guarded walls of the atomic research laboratories. To be known as the "Theatre of the Atom" the exhibit will Include among its features actively working equipment including a 200,000 volt model atom smasher,, a motor run by the* atomic principle and the latest in atomic radiation detectors. It is even planned to "explode" atoms and set up simulated atomic chain reactions for the entertainment of the Fair's visitors.
