The games wer e played- on the Richmond diamond, with Richmond winning the opener 4 to 2 from Fox Lake. That put Richmond in the^ select four and it remained for Fox Lake and McHenry to fight it out for a place. Next Sunday the top four teams settle down to the final play-offs. Richmond travels to Algonquin and McHenry goes to, Johnsburg. These teams are starting a 2-out-of-3 struggle for a chance in the finals. The game last Sunday was quite a pitchers' battle, with Miller holding the edge on Selchow. j Miller allowed only four hits up ! to the last inning, giving up one j in the first and one in the third, j then setting the opposition down j in order until the seventh.

By DICK SMITH Buss Motors and Palace Recreation continue at the top of the league with Pa's Yanks, Blatz and McHenry Sand & Gravel right behind them. Last Thursday night the K. of C. ieam came up with another surprise to beat \Vonder Lake 17 to 10.. The hitting for- the winners was spread, throughout the te&m with Peter Weingart leading with four for five. Monte had three for five and "Father McGowan and Haag two apiece. Pa's Yanks defeated the K. of C.'s in the Knight's second game of the week 12' to 5. Bob Brand again pitched a. good game for the •Knights allowing only 6 hits. The score at the end of the fifth was 6 to 4 in fav0r of the Yanks. Three hits and three errors allowed- six runs in the sixth and the ball game was over. Jager, pitching for the Yanks, was almost as hard to get a hit off of as was Brand. Jake allowed only nine. I The K. of C. team protested the | game, claiming an infraction of the rules in the Yank's big sixth Inning. The rules committee of the umpire's association will rule on the play and the outcome will be returned to the league officers at a later date. In their second game of the week, Pa's Yanks stopped Blatz 15 to 11. A bijg second inning for the Yanks did the trick. Eight runs scored on five hits arid three errors. Richard John Weber, Maple St., McHenry, with two singles and a triple and Wally Smith with the same thing lead the winners. For the losers it was V. Weyland with three for three and Cuda.-a.nd J. Thomas with three for four. The Palace stayed right with Buss Motors by turning back the McHenry Sand & Gravel team 22 to 13. The game was played under trying • conditions. Both teams had rough going in the outfield as the raii\ continued on and <Sff during the game. The Palace proved to be the best "mudders" and won. Doolin with four out of five and Bill Kreutzer with three for four lead the winners. Ray Boro had three for five and Stevens, Baker, Sullivan and Mc- Nish had two each for the losers. Blatz Beer, in their second game of the week, beat Wonder Lake Repair 16 to 15. It was a wild ball game and was won the hard way.

Experience Jias taught financially smart people that the most expensive thing they can do with money is to do nothing with it. If you had hidden $1,000 in your mattress in 1940 you would still have the same number of dollars today, but -their buying power -- in terms of what they would have bought in 1940 -- has shrunk to $523.00. If you had invested this same $1,000 in Guaranteed Deposits you would have made up a large part of this loss in buying power.

The game was halted^irj the fourth • Inning for about 20 minutes because of rain. The feature of this game was the hitting of Jack Thomas, Blatz left fielder. He had three home runs, a double and a single. Drove in seven runs and scored five himself. His second and third home runs in the 5th and 6th innings won the game for Blatz. Joe McAndrews, Tom Wiles and Bob Doran helped with three hits apiece. For Wonder Lake it was "Rocky" Rockeford with three hits and Rice, Sandgren. Murdock an/I T.pnkman with two each. Worthy of mention Ln this game was the play o^., Sandgren, the Wonder Lake shortstop. The" field was in poor playing shape because of the rain but Sandgren apparently did not notice it. He fielded nine chances at short without an error and threw out four runners' at first on what seemed like sure hits. Coming Games: Aug. 5: Bimbo's vs. .Illinois Bell Buss Motors vs. McHenry .
