Sophomores win have a great chance this year. THE McHENRY By Dick Smith Pa's Yanks, fighting for a chance to win the 18-inch playoffs* turned back the Palace Recreation Tuesday night • 15 to 9. The Yanks led throughout the game with the exception of a tie score in the fifth inning. The final game will be played Friday night at 8:15. A single, an infield error and a single by "Beef" Freund put the Yanks ahead in the second. A single by Matthesius, an error and a long fly tied it at 2 to 2. A home run by Liptrot, a single by Neiss and a double by Moe Meyers put Pa's back in the lead 4 to 2. Singles by Wally Smith, Bud Thennes and another home run by Liptrot made it 7 to 2 in the 4th. Three straight hits by Matthesius, Todd and Meyers made it 7 to 5. In the 5th, Wally Smith doubled, Freund and Tffinnes singled, to make it 9 to 5. Hansen led off for the Palace in the 5th with a triple, to right center. Brand, Doolin, Matthesius and Todd hit safely to tie the score at 9 all. Art Jackson singled and Moe Meyers doubled to put the Yanks ahead 10 to 9. In the 7th, with two out and Smith and Thennes on base, both of them singled, Liptrot doubled down the left field line to score two. Hits by Jackson and Meyers drove in three more. Doolin and Kantorski tried to keep things alive for the Palace in the last inning with safe hits but the next two batters made out to end the ball game. In j.the. Junior League, the Brahmas took two straight from Marks Sports and won the playoff championship, two games to nothing. In both games last inning rallies meant victory for the Brahmas. In the first game, hits by Trendler, Ken Crook and Dick Sokolowski in the last inning scored four to win the game 8 to 7. Don Thiel and Sokolowski led the winners in hitting, each had three for four. Paul Freund and Dick Michels led Marks with two hits apiece. In the second game, Marks led going into the last inning, 11 to 9. Hits by Cynowa, Thiel, Locke and Trendler /jcotred four runs and won the game 13, to 11. Cynowa, Locke and Trendler each had three hits to lead the winners. Paul Freund led the losers with two for four. In the first play-off game in the Senior League, the Palace beat the Yanks 12 to 7. Hansen and Kantorski pitched 6 hit ball for the Recreation. Dick Weber and Bud Liptrot got two apiece. For the Recreation it was George Meyers and Kantorski with three hits each. To get into the play-offs, Pa's' Yanks and the Palace had to get by Buss Motors and Blatz Beer. It was to be two out of three games to see who would play in the finals. In both instances lightning struck twice. The Recreation beat Blatz 9 to 8 and 9 to 6. Pa's Yanks beat Buss Motors 12 to 7 and 10 to 5.

Many fans believe that all there is to the job is for the guardian of the bag to stand in a position ten or 15 feet from the base, then run o v e r ' a n d c a t c h t h e t h r o w an infielder, the pitcher or catcher. However, it not only is a very important position, but one that demands much study ih order to play it correctly. In my opinion, there are eight separate divisions that require study and attention in order for a gateway guardian to play first base the way it should be played. These eight categories are: A--The player's necessary physical equipment. B--Shifting. C--Covering the base. D--Fielding' bunts. E--Throws, or tosses, to pitcher covering the bag. F--Cut-off plays. G--Backing up other positions. H--Intelligence. Any player who can correctly qualify for all of these eight divisions will be able to play first base adequately. I will take up each of these divisions and point out what is necessary for each. A--A player covering first base must have the physical equipment necessary for that position. Hjgynust be endowed with a gtW pair of hands that will fpXe a lot of pounding, day after day. A player with so-called brittle hands has no business trying to play first base. A successful first sacker also must have the ability to catch a thrown ball at any height, low, even in the dirt, high, or to his left or right, and in doing so make almost a 100 per cent job out of it. Some first basemen have the fault of juggling or missing throws other than those coming to them as very easy chances. Ability to catch throws of all kinds, and from all angles, requires a good pair of hands. The player must be able to make a catch with one hand in a satisfactory manner, even though it is a poor policy to catch a throw with one hand when both hands can be used. There are many times when a catch with one hand is necessary and a good first baseman must be able to make suoh a catch. He also must be able to catch low throws, or make what are called pick-ups. Ordinarily, the first baseman must reach forward, or to one side las far as possible, in catching low or wide throws. It is poor policy, most of the time, to back up on a low throw. He will find that it will be much easier to make the catch if he reaches forward to make "pick-ups" and he must be able to field such throws. The first baseman must be able to use the maximum length of his reach, either for catching wide throws or reaching up for high throws, by keeping the toe, instead of the heel or ball of his foot, on the bag. Touching the bag with the toe gives the first baseman several inches of extra reach and often this is important. B--Shifting is a very important division. The inability to shift correctly has kept many a promising first baseman from playing the position properly. A first baseman must be natural in shifting his feet, so that he will be able to shift from one side of the bag to the side where the ball is thrown in order to make an easy catch, or a possible catch, in a smooth manner. Otherwise, it might be difficult, if not impossible, to make the catch. On a ball thrown on the second base side of the bag, the left foot of the first baseman naturally should be on the bag and the right foot extended in the direction from which the ball is coming.On balls thrown on the opposite side--the home-plate side-- the right foot of the first baseman should be contacting the bag and the left foot extended toward the ball. Illustrating how to make a shift correctly, let us suppose, for example, the left foot is on the bag, and the right foot to the right of the bag. In a natural jumping motion, the left foot must be raised and extended to a position to the left of the bag, while the right foot comes down on the bag. This is the usual and natural way for. 3 first baseman to shift. The secret of«orreet shifting lies in the naturalness of the shift and. the ability to Shift in the right direction at the right time. •As related to Harold W. Laatgan.

Full details pn the team are to be released this week, but not ill time for our deadline. However, we do know that the first game will be played a week from Friday night at^-Marengo. Grand opening festivities for the newly organized Sports Unlimited Rod and Gun club at the Pistakee Bay Game Farms, near McHenry, will start at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11, with exhibition shooting to introduce a new game called "Wing" -- an improved variation of skeet and trap. Shooting and tours of the cluib house and grounds of the new club will continue until 7 p.m. dinner, followed by dancing and entertainment. Sports Unlimited is the first club in Northern Illinois to feature "Wing," a shooting game that stimulates actual field conditions. It differs from skeet and trap in that no one bird out of 1000 released follows the same pattern. Birds are released from a single station in a full 360- degree circle at variable heights and speeds to simulate the flight of flushed game. The new club actually opened Wednesday, Sept. 1, with the start of the dove hunting season; Saturday's grand opening fete is to acquaint the membership and guests, including non-hunters, with additional facilities avail- . suc5». as, hor.-rv krr 'nelsf- private'- fislii'^ "are^s; picnic grounds, children's playground, and club house, consisting of bar, lounges and dining room. The club offers three hunting plans. The first guarantees 20 pheasants and 30 partridge, the second 50 partridge and no pheasant and the third 40 pheasant and no partridge. Four full months of shooting are available to members. Sports Unlimited, with a mailing address of Box 463, Rt. 1, McHenry, is located 2% miles west of highway 12 on route 134. Lloyd P. Kuehn, general manager, and Emmctt Hansen, assistant manager, announced that full scale hunting activities will be launched Oct. 15 with the opening of the pheasant season. T-T7 . * " ~ I* - JOHNSSURGTKQtS WM McHENRY COUHTY BASEBALL dUMPKMSMP WITH 10-7 WW OVHi AL60HQUIN Northern Mini Bowmen News They did. it again! Those Jghnsburg Tigers outlasted Algonquin in a wild' 10 to 7 ball game last Sunday before the home crowd and gained title to the county championship. After a slojv start early in the season, Manager Howie Katz brought his team down the stretch in great style.. , Jess Armstrong's Algonquin team couldn't lose for winnin' all season until the Tigers turned v the trick as the season schedule came to a close. Came the semifinal play-offs! and Algonquin -took two from Richmond while McHenry pressed JohnSburg hard for two victories. Then came the final showdown. The Tigers won 12 to 4 at Algonquin when the losers' defense Ml apart. Realizing that you can't make mistakes against the Tigers and survive, Armstrong revised his defense last Sunday. What could not be stopped were 17, hits off Tiger bats and the fact that nary a Tiger struck out in the entire game. John Toomey and Don Blanken were the starting pitchers, but neither survived the sometimes ferocious struggle. The visitors started out with two runs in the first inning as Koch opened with a hit to right and Mavis sent him home with a triple to deep center. Blanken singled Mavis across the plate. Bob Peisert, a 4 for 5 hitter, led off the home half with a single. Howie Freund's first of three hits moved Pjeisert to second. Lloyd Freund forced Peisert at third on an attempted sacrifice. Howie moved to third on Hiller's fly to center. Lloyd stole second base. Katz was safe when Wilbrandt juggled, Howie scoring. ^ The -Tigers *smacked the ball hard in the second, but had nothing to show for their efforts in the run column. Tony Freund singled. Toomey tried to bunt, then hit away for a double play. Peisert • hit a three-bagger, but the program for the inning ended when Howie Freund lined smackdab into Zange's .hands. Blanken, Mavis Switch Came the fourth and exit Pitcher Blanken. The big man remained in the lineup to hit and field like1" an old pro. With one out, Toomey singled. So did Peisert. Mavis and Blanken changed positions, an oft repeated act. Howie ^ RreMd ' wfereetfid Mavis with a hit to right and moved to second while action ensued. The hit moved Peisert to third and Toomey thundered for the plate only to be nailed on a wow of a throw by "Moose" Leibert from right field. Up stepped Chaplie Hiller to uncork a hit to right. Leibert couldn't come ifolth the ball so Charlie "Streaked to third while three tuns scored. Now Johnsburg led 4 to 2 and Toomey was getting along quite well with his pitching chores. He had two men out in the sixth with the last three men in the bating order coming up. They came up all right. Wilbrandt hit to left, Bangert doubled to right and Moehle kept up the variation by hitting a two-bagger to center. Two runs scored and the score stood 4-4. There was no indication of trouble a-brewin' in the seventh when Toomey set the first batter, Zange, down on a swinging third strike. Stan Mavis pulled a surprise bunt that Toomey had some 0 trouble handling. Blanken screeched a double past third, putting Mavis on third. Manager Katz held a little conference at this point and called , in Loren Freund to pitch. Fitzgerald doubled to right to score Mavis,' but Blanken had 'ideas the ball might bjj, caught so advanced only to third. Leibert Walked. Wilbrandt's fly ball dropped where it shouldn't have in right center as Blanken scored and Leibert advanced to third. A low pitch that got past Barth allowed Fitzgerald to score and Algonquin led the ball game 7 to 4. More Action There was still much action to come. The Tigers scored two runs in their portion of the seventh. A hit by Hiller, another by Katz, a sacrifice fly to Si Meyers and a double by Barth turned the trick. Blanken made a fine catch on Tony Freund's drive to left or _ the snowball might Tiave kept rolling. Oh, that eighth! No runs scored for Algonquin but there was a variety of slugging. Lloyd Freund and Koch squared off after a put-out at thint. As usual, too many got into the act with a war of words. Wihen order was restored, Charlie Hiller was on the bench at the request of the men in blue. The story goes that both were talking with their hands and Charlie accidently knocked the indicator out of the ump's hand. The whole incident added a little spice to the game in spite^ of taking" up too much time. . •> ' The Tiger eighth did it. Peisett: led off (with his fourth hit. Howie Freund walked. Lloyd got a hit. Jim Freund was safe on a fielder's choice. A sacrifice fly by Katz scored Howie Freund with the tying run. Si got a double to put Lloyd and Jim across with the clinchers. For good measure, Barth singled Si home and that brought Wilbrandt in to pitch. He got Tony on a fly to second base, but plenty of runs were across as Loren Freund took, good care of his lead in the ninth. •' 'If you .stayed wtt.li . us "this long, you wfR, know that it was a wild game.
