fis,. •4 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER \lWgi~ti 3 * s* gmwHTl Well, Paul Richards gave it a |bod try with the White Sox even if he couldn't win a pennant. . We suppose the Sox big wheels lad Richards knew for some time that a change was coming. ,would have been quite usual to sign their manager a few Weeks ago when hopes were still held out for the team to hit the |op. That comes under the headtog of a shot in the arm cerefnony. eaMJtiUaiAh. MCHS FOOTBALL WARRIORS OPEN SEASON FRIDAY Team Travels *1*0 Marengo For First But, nothing happened and the flportS writers were quick to pick the Baltimore angle. - -dh'^r. ph: Rid: "-sl.!\aic^, h'c thcr' : .:pfeLn sJnte rested amd-the.opposition Hervous Injuries ceilainly hurt the Richards plan and the failure of Billy Pierce to hit stride must have weighed heavy on the whole team. It seems pretty well agreed tiiat the Sox need a clean-up hitter with aibility to clout the ball over the fence. ' It's' a far-off view, but we think the Sox and Milwaukee will be World Series'rivals in '55. We hope. While on the baseball subject, let's' all watch the Old Timers play the Tigers at Johnsburg next Sunday afternoon. The old boys put on quite a show for the fans last year, and you can bet they will have something cooking for some good laughs next Sunday. The Shamrocks are making big plans for a McHenry Old Timers' game the following ^Sunday. Should have their report for next week. Under a separate story you will see the schedule of games for the local high school football teams. If history repeats itself, there V should be a large following at i Marengo Friday night when the curtain swings open for the season. With a comparatively small squad out for football this fall. Coach "Mac" will be forced to use Sophomores in several positions. This is a matter of necessity rather than choice. We hope this team wfn sirprise us. There seems to be acme real good material in ~Jie backfield. The line is aure v, ijf» oatsized, but that dnean'". mean "Jw»7 Will be dot-charged.* The 1954 MCHS varsity foot ball team will open the season at Marengo on Friday night of this week, hoping to get off to a good start in a tough schedule. A glance at the figures brings one to the conclusion that Coach McCracken's squad, will have to be real Warriors to stand the gaff this season. They are bound to run into taller ends aii<I hoav ,ier iiRC-:. Net-, that tlie" bailie boys arW in the midget class. M&SL of theni are plenty big enough to take care of themselves, but it will take a little extra fire. The Warriors list only seven Seniors on the squad and eight lettermen from last year. It appears that Sophomores have a great chance to break into the lineup this year.

As advertised, the game was played as a benefit to the fund which assists players who receive injuries during the season. John Toomey started for the champion Tigers; but was no puzzle on this occasion as the All-Stars put across 8 runs ^ in th^ first inning. Willie Klapperich and Loren Freund finished the hurling job in classy style.

Bill's Outboard Motors, at 104% S. Riverside Drive, local dealer in Johnson products, has been notified by the factory that silencing equipment of the type introduced in the firm's Sea-Horse 5% last year has been adapted to' the big motors. Both the quiet 10 and quiet 25 are expected to be in quantity production by late September. "This is certainly good news for lake and stream-side residents as well as for the people riding in the boats." > . "There's no,:dcu!;t but that fourljou. rr^ •h^'".'.;?:bc"or>rrie' • -a*: - in> creastng nuisance in recent years." Now you can have "kitten-purr" purrformance in the big motors. The factory statement explained that the suspension-driVe construction which suppresses sound also contributes to riding comfort and to longer life of the boat itself. This is because of the absenceof jarring vibrations formerly transmitted from the motor to the boat. Silencing of the big motors was described as "even more effective" than that of last year's Johnson 5y2, winner of the National Noise Abatement Council award for quiet operation. The 5Vfc also has been made more quiet in current production models, the firm said, through an improvement in gear arrangement. Bill's Outboard , Motors- -; *lso%* wishes to announce at this -time that they now have one ot ' thet best financing plans available in the boating field. You are cordially invited to visit their showv rooms and discuss low cost financing. A --Adv.
