The Shamrocks played ' Jolmsburg last Sunday afc Johnsburg and came out on the short end of a 4 to 0 score. Joe Jackson scattered five hits and allowed only one runner to reach second base. Sonny Miller allowed six hits but the Tigers got them in the right places. In the third for the Shamrocks Phil Judson singled to center after one out. John Bolger sacrificed him to second. Andreas ended it with a pop-up to the first baseman. In the 4th Harry Stilling singled down the third base line, the ball taking a bad hop just as Hiller was about to field it. After two outs Stilling was caught trying to steal second. Katz started the fourth for Johnsburg with a single to right, Howie Freund grounded out to McCulla, unassisted. Art Jackson tripled to left center scoring Katz. Miller got out of this spot by making Hiller bounce to the mound and Si Meyer grouad«ut, Rosing to McCulla.

Jackson, 3 0 0 Totals 32 4 6 You could travel far and not see as good a baseball game as that staged last Thursday evening at Elgin when the Johnsburg Tigers emerged with a 3 to 1 victory over Scrappy Utica in state tournament play. High class pitching prevailed as Joe Jackson hurled a magnificent 3-hitter to best a worthy mound opponent named Gene Sebben. Joe has now pitched two tournament victories, allowing the meager total of 5 hits. Charlie Hiller was the first batter of the ball game and worked Sebben for a pass. "Old Reliable" George Jackson waved at a couple of offerings, then hoisted a double against the fence in center field to score Charlie. This run looked powerful big as both pitchers mowed down the batters for five innings. Rain was falling and the Tigers hustled to get five innings in the records. ' With two out in the sixth, Utica's first-baseman, Scott, singled to left. Second-baseman, Jack Walsh, not much bigger than a minute as ball players go, tripled to right , to tie the score. It was a hard drive that Si Meyer dove for and 'missed. The Old One-Two* Along came Charlie Hiller to lead off the eighth and he doubled to center. Howie Katz saw his duty and mission was accomplished by drilling a hit to right center good for the winning rim. Walks to Art Jackson and Dick Hiller followed, but a force-out at^ third got Sebben out of the jam. To make the game a little safer, the Tigers put over their third run in the ninth. Norm Britz drew a pass, was sacrificed to second by Joe Jackson, went to third on a wild pitch and scored while Charlie Hiller waa beating out a hit Charlie drove the ball into the ground and it bounced a mile high. Britz played it close, but scooted home when Sebben attempted to nail Charlie at first. Support Is Good The last of the ninth had the hopeful Johnsburg followers on edge, but everything clicked according to pattern. Britz made a nice stop on Scott's grounder and drew a bead on first with a peg that Katz reached out and gobbled up for the first out. Walsh and Gorgal both drove the ball into left field, but Dick filler scooted to the foul line to haul em in. 'Twas a great ball game and it kept the Tigers in the bard Struggle for championship honors. Johnsburg Hiller, 3B Katz, IB ^ G. Jackson, C Freund, 2B A. Jackson, CP D.

All of the club facilities were taxed to the limit, but the Rupees, Jim and Jean, and their assistants did a bang-up job of taking care of the overflow crowd. Nobody went home hungry and all tipped their bonnets to Chef Mel Wilke for the wonderful luncheon and dinner which he prepared. Earl Seepe came in with a 75 to win the low gross member prize. The low gross for quest was won by Harold Michels who shot a 75. You have to hand it to iTed fcieide and his committees. Ijhey know how to put 'Hookey Day" over to attract and please the crowd.

HUNTERS LEARN TO TRAIN RETRIEVERS AT BARRINGTON 1 Of unusual interest to all upland bird and waterfowl hunters is the monthly event held by the American Amateur Retriever Club in Barrington, Illinois. Here, on Sunday morning once a month, the Club holds training classes for novices, canine and human, as well as more advanced sessions. , This event is believed to be unique in the country. For the very nominal sum of $2.00 the retriever owner can learn to teach and handle his dog in a better fashion, both on land and in water. Classes are taught by the more experienced Club members, men who are sympathetic with the desires and ambitions of retriever and hunting enthusiasts, and visitors are welcome. The Club boasts of a very large percentage of women members. The next meeting is to be on August 3, on Otis Road at R;ound Barn Lake, about two miles Southwest of the business section of Barrington, just west of Route 59. <; WOODSTOCK SOAP BOX DERBY WON BY MARENGO DRIVER What an array of prizes; Dl<flc Hester and his committee did in Best brakes , -- Koi oi4tsUndfng jtob. i j Woodstocli .. » • :* ' j Best design -- Do: Many new faces were seen tfils Woodstock year.

Encouraged by some inept fielding on the part of the Merchants that went into the records as errors plus a couple Of tainted base hits, the Ironers started with five runs in the first inning and breezed along the rest of the way/ Of course, the visitors used thefir bats for some healthy swats along the way.' "Stan the Man" Mavis, was a lot of pitcher for seven innings, found a little trouble with his control in the eighth, then turned the job over to King in the ninth. Stan whiffed 13 batters, gave up three hits and walked four. Dorish, a catcher by trade, tried to play right field and had a rough afternoon climaxed by being picked off third with the bases loaded in the eighth to end the first - real Merchant uprising of the day. He did get into the hit column though to join Piacenti and Morgan. Piacenti had two hits and two walks for a perfect day at the plate; Morton had tw<\ hits, but his best drive was a liner right smack into Blanken's mitts. Funny thing, with all the Algonquin hitting, only one blow went for extras bases and that a double by Boyd that' looked none too boisterous until it popped to the ground and bounced away from Fink in short left field. reporter gazes over the score boek so let's spare the tedious task of recording how those 11 runs were scored.
