Anonymous OUR GUIDE MB ORANOSS "Sonny" Miller was the iron man of the weekend, pitching and winning two games. He went eleven innings against Algonquin • on Friday and came back to beat the Merchants on Sunday. Almost perfect control helped. if ft I Golf* courses, tennis courts, bathing beaches, fishing spots-- everyplace was buzzing with activity in one of the busiest holidays McHenry has seen. "Brune" Butler has turned the managership of the Merchants over to Tony Freund. i "Brune" -worked hard without enough material to make a showing in the strong county league and deserves a vote of thanks for his efforts In holding the team together. ------ No use kidding, there isn't enough local material for two McHenry teams in the county. 4f»nte criticize bringing in outside players, but we can't see where those lop-sided games can help a league. We have Other ideas to spring when, season is finished. .. That National League is sure catching up. And to think that the Cubs sent the players that turned the trick. We must start right now to get ready for next year. Maybe Hie Republicans ought to change their name to the "Harmony" party. If the Democrats can kick up as much fuss at their convention (and they probably can), it looks like a breezy summer. ' A box score and report on Mc- Henry's Legion team came in too late last week. The boys beat Harvard 15 to 3 as they ran wild W the base paths. There was a hot time intfce old county league last week when the Johnsburg Tigers \ asked to postpone their game with Richmond dueo to the fact that they were playing the finals of the 4iatrict tournament the same day. LAKE FOREST WINS DISTRICT BASEBALLMEET Triumph 3-0 Over Johnsburg Tigers At V.F.W. Sunday The district baseball tournament is over and Lake Forest has the trophy. The winners earned it Sunday evening in a hard fought, 3 to 0 game against the Johnsburg Tigers on the McHenry V.F.W. diamond. Joe Jackson was on the mound for Johnsburg, losing to a formidable foe named Geno Bagatti Bagatti was wilder than a hawk for two innings, then settled down to pitch a powerful game. Neither pitcher went in for strikeouts. Jackson fanning four and Bagatti three. Joe allowed seven hits and no walks. Bagatti allowed five hits and gave up six bases on balls, five of the free passes coming in the first two innings. Both outfields had a lot of leg work, Lake Forest gathering in eleven fly balls while the Tigers grabbed eight. --Luck--Two Kinds-- The Tigers plainly muffed a good chance to capitalize on wild ness in the first inning, but lady luck stepped in to snap a ruckus in the third. The first part of their luck came when, with the Hiller boys on first and second as result of singles, Bagatti firea a wild pitch. That looked as good as .a sacrifice, but the ball bounced back perfectly from the backstop into catcher Thorn's hands. Thom fired to third to nail Charles Hiller. Enough of that. Nobody scored. Anyhow, we just wanted to point out that there are two kinds of luck and either kind might take a sudden turn. Bagatti turned out to be a clouter as well as pitcher, but a sixth. He forgot to touch second base. Lake Forest scored the run that was sufficient for carrying home the cup in the seventh. Thurm and Burns singled and moved up on a sacrifice by Greene. Jones sent a long fly to renter and Thurm hustled in ahead of a good throw. Bagatti got his triple in the ninth, after Thom was safe on an error. After two were out, Thurm cracked out his third hit, a double, to score the final run. In typical Tiger fashion, they got two men on in the ninth to give the crowd a thrill, but Bagatti wasn't to be denied this victory.

When the summary is taken, a large per cent of the credit for victory goes to 20-year-old Neil Morton, El^in southpaw, who blazed 'em in with a baffling assortment. The Tigers scored a run in the first inning when . Si Meyer tripled to center and Art Jackson walked. The boys executed a double steal in spite of a cut-off play that anticipated the move. It looked like the Merchants would tie it up when they came to bat, but Dick Hiller picked up Morton's hard hit to right and nailed Bobby Knox at the plate for the third out. Morton walked Ted Pitzen to start the second. Ted went to second on a passed ball and scored his team's second and last run on Tom Huemann's double to right center. --Piasenti Takes Charge- Weinberger led off the third for McHenry with a hit along the right field line. Don Freund walked. Bobby Knox sacrificed to Klapperich. Darling rolled out to Si Meyer at first base and the runners held up. Piasenti, who had a walk and two hits in four tries besides , playing a takecharge game at short, scored Weinberger with a hit to left. When the return got away at second base, Don Freund came in with the second run. The winning run came home in the sixth when Morton struck out for what should have been the third out. The third strike got away and Morton trucked it safely to first. Somenze walked. Herb Engdahl then met the ball squarely for a safe drive to center field to score Morton.-- With one out in the eighth, Piasenti singled to left. Morton singled to right and went to second on the throw-in, moving Piasenti to third. Somenze then flied ou1 to center and Pi¢i scored after the catch. Morton set the Tigers, down in order in the ninth and the victoryhungry Merchants were a happy lot. This was only the seeond loss of the season for the leagueleading Tigers. Merchant** • AB R.

This surplus is in addition to a budget cut of 10 per Mnt amounting to $98,690.00 wmch Stratton recommended to the 67th General Assembly. "The application of sound business methods* and the practicing of real economy is the answer to this surplus," Stratton said. When Stratton took office as statf treasurer in January, 1951, a total of $1,195,280.00 had been recommended to the Legislature to cbver operations. Stratton Jh*- ed that thie amount be cut to $1,096,590.00. > ^ That figure provided $643,759.84 for operations in the period from July 1, 1951 to July 1, 1952. Actually, Stratton pointed out, his office spent only $490,299.89, creating an additional saving to the taxpayers.
