SHAMROCKS WIN BATTLE FROM SYCAMORE 4-3 Beat '49 Champions ^Al Elgin Park In * Slate Tournament The McHenry Shamrocks, champions of the McHenry County League, took on the Sycamore Sons, champions of the State of Illinois, at Wing Park, Elgin last Thursday night and came away with a 4 to 3 decision in a 10-inning battle. And--a battle it was! The limelight fell on Hugh Murphy, classy and courageous competitor on the mound for McHenry, in spite of the fact that he prefers to have credit to go to the entire team at all times. His pitching, hitting and base-running paid off in a big way. Sycamore scored a run in the first inning when Murphy was, having trouble finding the corners. With one out, he walked Kreitz and Gauger. An error at short let Kreitz in with the first run of the game. Murphy then walked H. Hennigan and Manager Bolger hustled Joe Jackson to the bull pen to warm up. But all .was well when Murphy found the range to fan both Nelson and Kalasmiki to end the inning. Two more strikeouts followed in the second as Murphy went on to pile a total of 13. Shamrocks Take Lead McHenry bounced right back in the last of the first inning to score two' runs. Willard McCulla, Who played a great game all the way, led off with a hit, stole second and scored on Sonny Miller's hit to center. Miller moved to second on the throw-in, moved to third while George Jackson was being thrown out and scored on Gerry Larkin's fly to left. Gauger drew an error when he dropped a fine throw from Kreitz. IT«hJme m4*o rCeM you pursue praise the *j _ There were thrills and chills as harder It Is to grasp.

Skies Look Gray Skies looked gray for a large delegation of McHenry fans'in the fourth when H. Hennigan led off with a slashing double into the left field corner. Nelson, who looked baffled in fanning in the first inning, smashed a double to left to bring in the tying run. Nelson stole third. Kalasmiki fanned. Vidimos was hit by a pitched ball. Meketi struck out. George Jackson made a nicte play to nail Kaczala for the third out. A pass to Kalasmiki, sacrifice by Valimos and hit by Meketi sent Sycamore into the lead in the sixth. Murphy, first up in the eighth, uncorked a twisting double along the right field line. Miller's fly to center moved Murphy to third base. Up came George Jackson with two men out. George had been having a bad time at the bat and two strikes went past him. He looked over a couple of balls, then slashed a hit to center to bring about a 3-3 tie. Excitement loomed up in the ninth when Nickie Freund hit safely and reached second on a bobble in right field. Tom Bolger ran for Freund, but couldn't run far as the following batters went out That Tenth . Now we come to that tenth Inning, the likes of which you Wont be seeing every day or every night. Murphy developed soreness in his pitching arm and walked H. Hennigan. Manager Bolger called in Joe Jackson from right field and wisely kept Murphy in the game by sending him to the outfield. Nelson dragged a bunt and beat it out for a hit. R. Hennigan went in to pinch hit and sacrificed, G. Jackson to Miller. Vidimos tried the same stunt of bunting, but plans went wrong. He popped up to Miller who fired the ball to third base for a double play. That got McHenry out of a mess and it was their turn to furnish a thrilling finish. Murphy led off the tenth with a hit to center and moved to second when Kacsala failed to come np with the ball. McCulla bunted to advance Murphy to third and moved right on to second base while a big commotion ensued at third. Kelson Bounced Umpire Morley called Murphy safe on a close play and brought down a storm of protest from the Sycamore team. Shortstop Nelson became so wrought up that he started pushing the ump around. Nelson was bounced from the game and Miller was given an intentional pass to load the bases. George Jackson lifted a foul fly not too far beyond first base and Coach Tom Bolger sent Murphy racing for the plate after the catch. It was a chance, but Murphy was in with the run on a hard slide and the ball game was over; Whew! Shamrocks AB McCulla, C 4 Miller, 3B, IB ...C^ 4 G. Jackson, 2B 5 G .

P. Freund Office of the Mayor McHenry, Illinois Dear Mayor Freund: Illinois, Director of the local in my office discussing ydur pro blem with motor boat speeders oi the Fox River We have assigned our patrol boat to the area from July 25th to August 2nd to qover your annual Marine Day Celebration. This boat and a Conservation Oficer will be back again on August 11th, 12th, 13th and 14 th. In addition we are erecting some additional motor boat signs that call to the attention of the the users of water craft that they are required by law to observe safe rules and respect the rights of other people who are using the area for varied recreational purposes. The Department is glad to be bf assistance to your community In this respect. Our only regret is that we do not have sufficient personnel and equipment to assign a patrol boat to your area during the entire summer tourist season. Wo do have one boat on the Fox Chain O' Lakes throughout the summer season, but we realize that it 1? not sufficient to cover the entire lake area. However, with our limited appropriation it is the best we can do. The Department of Conservation about four years ago was given the Responsibility of enforcing the now motor boat law but no appropriation was made to furnish the necessary personnel or equipment to do this work. We are hopeful that at the coming session of the Legislature we might receive some favorable consideration in this matter. Yours very truly, LEONARD SCHWARTZ Director. RAIN AND SCHULDT HALT SHAMROCKS IN SEVEN INNINGS The rains came last Sunday afternoon and, as far as the Shanrocks were concerned, could have washed away the ball game on tho local V.F.W. diamond. Only seven innings were played when festivities came to a halt and Dundee (now known as Floyd's of Carpcntersville) had a ball game wrapped up by a 7 to 6 count. "Sonny", Miller was on the mound for McHenry and fared none too well from the start. While Miller s offering's were not too puzzling to the batters on this occasion, it must be recorded that his mates committed errors in five of the seven innings played. Willard McCulla and Bud Grover each drove out three safe hits to lead their teams on the offen- Vogleman started for tho visitors, but ran into trouble In the fourth, causing the employment of their ace pitcher, Schuldt. , Allan Bockman, new in the Shamrock group this year, played second base in nice style, besides drawing a pass from Vogelman and getting the only base hit off Schuldt in his three and oae- ... 4 With Marine Day just around third innings if pitching, the corner, it seems timely to Shamrocks AB print the following letter.

NEW MANAGEMENT The baby had cried and fretted all day and the young mother was nearly frantic. When her husband came home in the evening, she described her experience. "Well, remember," he t61d her cheerfully, "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." About 8:30, with the baby crying again, she said to hubby: "I'm going to a movie, darling, so for the next couple of hours you assume world domination." Sort ef Casaal A local citizen was walking down town one morning when a stranger addressed him: "Do you know where the post office is?" "Yes," answered the citizen, affably, and walked on without further reply. After proceeding for about ten steps he looked back, and inquired in his turn, "Why? Did you want to know?" "No," replied the stranger, with great earnestness, and then, the account having been balanced, the two walked away In opposite directions.
