THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Twice Told Tales £-$&• J&tf €a/t&. UtedUh. AXX- 9Hiea?t)l It looked like a stunt when Joe Cronin offered the Cleveland Indians a million bucks for their fire-ball artist, Herb Score. The young man looked like a million in shutting out our White Sox Tuesday. Nic&-fellow to have on your side. Manager Bob McCulla is real enthusiastic about ^the "new" Shamrocks as they prepare for a practice game with the Johnsburg Tigers on the McHenry diamond next Sunday. ^ Bob stresses the fact that he isn't a championship, but sees enisn't predicting a championship, but sees enthusiasm and spirit throughout the squad. It looks like a team that will be fighting every inch of the way, according to Bob. There is and always has been a strong rivalry between the Johnsburg and McHenry baseball teams. Of late years, Johnsburg has had far and away the better teams. Now, the Shamrocks are starting a rebuilding program that should eventually bring them back in contention. -- McHenry Recreation -- foresters-- L. Thennes, 215-565; J. Phelan, 233-545; B.

The regular County League schedule will start the following Sunday, May 5th, with nine teams in the league this year. Hebron will appear on the McHenry diamond for the opener while Johnsburg travels to the Elgin VFW diamond. With an uneven number of teams in the league, open dates will allow scheduling of outside teams as special attractions throughout the season. The schedule numbers the following teams in order although this is by no means intended to be construed as the order in which they are expected to finish: Hebron, McHenry, Mandy's Elgin, Algonquin, Dundee, Crystal Lake, Johnsburg, Elgin VFW, Richmond. So, when the teams cross bats on opening day, they will line up like this: Hebron at McHenry Mandy's at Algonquin Dundee at Crystal Lake Johnsburg at Elgin Richmond - open Although the major leagues have started playing ball, the season will officially open May 5th when the McHenry County League hears the men in blue blast out with "Play Ball!" In all press releases from the University of Illinois, the name of Billy Klaus looms up as important in their baseball lineup. Watching Billy last summer with the Tigers made us think he can go a long way in baseball. Official lists of prize winners in the Forester state bowling tournament have not come through from headquarters. Next week. We hope. THE GREAT OUTDOORS By Jack Walsh Tues. Sixty-Niners-- L.

Protect L _ Our I Nation's Youth Kelly Brown u We saw a few nice bullheads taken out of the river. They were about ten inches long and were fairly thick. The bullheads were reported to be biting pretty good in the creek, too. A few channel cats are also being caught, but their size does not amount to much. Wonder Lake is supposed to he teeming with bullheads, but quite a bit of lake-front property is private. The suckers are running pretty fast. They are big this year and more seem to be running than last year. Night fishing is best. The suckers are not very thick in the deep holes during the day, but at night they cdh be seen and heard as they go upstream to spawn. There are quite a few nice boats on the river this year. Probably by the middle of June it will not be safe for a fishing boat to attempt to navigate the river on a „ weekend. Some of the new outboard motors have so much chrome on them that they look more like jewelry than machinery. There has sure been a change in the last few years. All we have heard for the past week is where are some bats and balls, as the boys are all getting the fever for the coming season. As everybody knows, last ye^r was the first season of Pony League and we had to struggle thru this first year to find all the faults and mistakes that we expected from our first season. Now we can sit down with all of the officers and managers and have a nice summer of baseball for the boys and have everything run like clock work. One of the remedies will be that every boy on the team must play a minimum of 3 innings per week. And of course this year there will be no adults allowed on the field during the game. All coaching must be done by the boys. The manager and one coach will be allowed in the dug-out during the game. All boys not at bat or in the on deck circle must remain on the bench. We will have league umpires all season and according to the rules their decisions are final and from past experience we know they have been doing a wonderful job. Friday night is the last time to register since the teams as of Friday night, after the managers do their final trading, will be the team they will have for the season. It looks like this is going to be a close race this year.

Be Sure Yoir Have "Beginner's Luck" Today we were thinking about all the new camera owners who've just joined our "happy breed." Excitement/ challenge, adventure, discovery--these and^a myriad of other pleasurable sensations await anyone using a .camera. And never is this truer than in those first days when the proud new picture taker realizes it's a shutter-finger that holds the world by a string. Of course, to be sure of getting the best possible pictures, you new camera owners would do well to arm yourselves with certain very basic information. Contrary to the proverb, here's a case where "a little learning" is not "a dangerous thing" at all. The tips we have in mind are very simple ones--and you'll see that the advice they offer is the kind even veteran snapshooters often need to be reminded about. First of all, read through the instruction booklet that was tucked into the box along with your new camera, to give you all the information you need about how the* camera works. A quick reading--and you'll spare yourself wdsted time and needless disappointment later on. For only when you know what your particular camera is designed to do and what its own individual limitations are can you expect the best kind-of results from its use. If any of this information isn't absolutely clear to you, or if you're still'lint sure about how any part of your camera works, don't hesitate to ask your photo dealer about it. He'll be happy to help you--and you'll be far happier than if your own "experimental technique" caused damage to the mechanism. Second on the list of "must" reading is the information printed right on the package of eyery roll of film you buy. Read it carefully before you load your camera for action. That way, you'll be able to determine exactly what you have to do under the prevailing conditions of light and atmosphere. 1 Though most cameras are constructed to take a lot of abuse, they are precision instruments and deserve, as much consideration as you'd give a good watch. Plan to keep your camera away from heat and dust as much as possible when not in use. Avoid a "hot spot" such as the glove compartment of your car, or a "dust-datcher" like the backwindow ledge. Instead, just keep it on the seat beside you while in transit --John Van Guilder FUN" Rink 608, Front St. on Rt. 81 McHENRY, ILL.
