' - a Kctut"^ League By Ball Bolder THE McHENRYPLAIN DEALEIt I w * g i •» /(J , i' That big dance, sponsored t>y the Shamrocks, is cOttiing up Saturday night at the Legibn Hall. Tickets are scattered around at different places, or you can buy trpm one of the players. j ffhe players would like most of #H to have you attend the dance. .Hbwever, if you cannot attend, the purchases of. a ticket or two would |ei ,big help in keeping the team action. We might toss a buck away for a less worthy cause. .'We heard all about those no-hit games pitched by Terry Britz for St. Mary's * High School team at -Woodstock. But, one knows that high school baseball is not too much of' a hitters' game in these parts and the games are 7-inning affairs. Then, we would say "A no-hitter is something in any league." So -- we wondered how Terry would do in county league competition. We found out last Sunday. He pitched a beauty against the Shamrocks and looks like a fellow with a future. ;We hope Terry will take good care of that arm as he gains exp6rienc£ H? has plenty of speed to mix in with that curve. In fact, some of the hitters could tell when the fast ball was coming, but could do nothing with it Seems to us that too many pitchers get themselves in trouble with that waste pitch when they get ahead of the batter. It seems to be automatic. Give us the fellow who will get that pitch in there part of the time -- with something on it, of course. Every now and then we hear screams from the major leagues about signal stealing. Seems to us that any dub can see some catchers tipping off inside or outside pitches. Oh, if those batters had mirrors! ^ It must have been the holiday jipirit that made us accept a good Jgigar from "Muggs". We have fteen refusing for some time. Thought we might .soften him up 0n the rumor that he is opening a ranch on the East Side this month to continue serving those sodas known as "Banker's Special".

Sonny Miller was good enough to win some ball games, but this Was one when the hOme batsmen could do little with their bats. Miller did not allow a hit until the fourth. Norm Britz [ Singled to left. George Jackson's hit to center drove Britz around to third. Jackson took second on the throw-in. Wahlin walked to fill the bases. McCannon took care of the situation by clearing the bases with a triple to right center. McCannon scored on Feffer's sacrifice fly to Becknell. Radovich drew a pass, but Rooney hit into a double play, Sahs to Stanek to McCulla. Four runs were across. Good Try, Diving George Jackson made a great dive for Joe Stanek's fast-sinking drive in the first inning, but could not hold the ball. Joe tried to make second and was nailed. JPllilllMMIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilM JUNIOR LEGION The Orioles are . the hottest! ?"tz sailed along smooth y team in the league. After losing j un*V se,vei?th, when McCulla six. games they have come back *nd Younf L?"1 ^ to beat the Eagles -6 to 5, the Terry, p,cke u d McCu»f off third Cardinals 10 to 3 and Sunday'™ a f ^st throw to Uncle Norm, they really caught fire by trim- j ?e •f®nn?d the. next two batters ming the Bluebirds -25 to 1.

So there goes the ball Crystal Lake scored two runs game. It was just too hot. Al ; in the eighth, but not because Baur brought four pitchers to they were needed. the mound, none of them find- j Catcher Young was outstanding the strike zone. All we can ing on defense for McHenry as say is look out for the Bluebirds 1 he fired perfectly to Stanek at because I'm sure they will come , second to nail two runners with . Whatever happened to Dreytauller's Speedcttes? He dreamed of that team all winter. This has to stop. We lost another •good friend this week when Joe Guzzardo passed away. Joe was one of those fellows who could take a joke as well as hand one out. We are glad Joe lived to see the White Sox take four straight from the Yankees. Things were never so good - - before or since. . A "wish you were here" card from Paul Yanda says the fish are biting in the land of sky bjue waters. Wonder what "Peggy" Feltz would say if he could see that new street sweeper sailing down the "pavement. We often thought that "Peggy's" cart should have been preserved and his name Entered in McHenry's Hall of Fame. PICKUPS: Some people are like blotters. ,.They soak it all in but get it backwards.

And it was just too much DeCiccS, the" pitcher. Falcons '6 runs and 8 hits, Cardinals, 6 runs on 2 hits. In the final game of the day the Eagles looked like they had things cooled off just as the weather.

At this time I am asking you to keep August 12 open for the grand finale of Little League. Watch the paper for details of this date as time goes on. The officers, managers and coaches are happy over the following we had at our Little League park Sunday. It shows that there is interest being shown in these lads. Keep it up. It shows that you are beind these boys to try and make them better Americans and better citizens of this community. And, who knows, maybe a big league position awaits some boy. Also, as president of the league, I want to say on behalf of the league -- thanks Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Bond of Main street for their donation of twenty-fiye to open ! dollars. It will buy more than a dozen balls for these boys. Thanks much. Don't forget work nights on Thursday and Friday. See you next week. Crystal Lake (6) AB R H Philpot, rf 2 1 1 N.

The McHenry team beat Cary, Woodstock and Crystal Lake to gain the county championship in an elimination tournament. Gene Freund pitched and batted his way to victory Sunday but had some great support both offensively and defensively from his teammates. Crystal Lake scored ^hree runs in the first. inn ing with the big blow being Johnson's triple. Freund settled down to pitch two-hit ball the rest of the way. Two double plays, one started by Ron Smith and the other by Pene himself, kept Crystal Lake away from the plate after the first inning. McHenry started their scpring in the first when Charlie Olson's triple scored Herb Baker who had singled. McHenry added four runs in the second as Meyer led off with his first of three hits and Gene Freund added a triple. The game broke wide open in the fifth when McHenry scored five runs with the big blows being two-run singles by Joe Hiller and Gene Freund.

Chain O' Lakes State Park and public hunting area, west of Grass Lake with access into Fox river and the lake; and on Department property between Dunn's Lake and*-Nippersink Lake just east of the Lake Geneva highway or Coun'try Club road north out of Fox Lake. Director Glen D. Palmer says the need for these areas has been recognized and the Department of Conservation is trying to get several more. Fishing near and in these areas is good. All three will be able to be reached by boat or car. f Leonard Johnson's 9-year-old son caught a 4 lb. northern in Boone Creek last week on an old silver spoon with pork rind. The boy also landed the fish without a net. That is a pretty good feat for a 9-year-old with a pike that big.
