mm - III .« i ' i f ' : ; v - V / ' i/f ;'fi-^ti THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER ®SI!I r;/ May 16, 'ha- ShedST* Years ago they called it the "Cross Roads" at Irish Prairie. Later they named the East-West road "Idyl Dell Road" (or Idyll if you prefer). Now, we see somebody put up a sign Idle Dell Road. Looks like Uncle Walter Walsh (one of the few remaining Prairie Irish) and "Schmaltz" Miller of McHenry Shores will have to investigate* Keep your eye on Jim Clark in the state golf finals at Champaign this coming weekend. Jim is the shining light of St. Mary's of Woodstock golf team and earned his way to the state finals with a 35-36, one over par, at Arlington Heights last Friday. We were real pleased with a golf story printed on our page this week in which our MCHS team wishes Jim good luck in the finals. A bit of a mixup sent some Shamrocks ball players to Elgin last Sunday only to find that the game had been called on account of wet grounds^ • The Crystal Lake nine comes to McHenry next Sunday with a team that is reported to be red hot after the penant this year. Word is around that you won't score many runs against the Lakers this year and will have to play it tight to beat,them. Bob McCulla and his team are trying to give McHenry a good ball club. They do need your support at the games if McHenry is going to bounce back in the county league baseball picture. TIGERS STAY ON TOP WITH S - 2 VICTORY OVER RICHMOND NINE Father: "Remember, son, beauty is only skin deep". Son: "That's deep enough for me, I ain't no cannibal". The Johnsburg Tigers will have their work cut out at Dundee next Sunday where strong pitching is said to feature the team's strength. Johnsburg and the entire community lost a First Lady in the sports world this week when Mrs. Ford Jackson passed away. Her goodness was reflected in the conduct of her family--all of them keenly 'interested in sports. Distance meant nothing to this lady when her boys were engaged in sports competition. .We feel that her spirit will "foliow athletic teams for a long time. We hope they have ball games in heaven. PICKUPS-- And to think the American Revolution started over one tax! A minor operation is one performed on someone else. Kindness is becoming at any age. Richmond got the most hits, but the Johnsburg Tigers got the most runs last Sunday on the Johnsburg diamond. The hits went 918 and the runs 5-2. Both teams presented changed line-ups as Richie Miller and Willie Klapperich again opposed each other on the mound. Meyers, a new third baseman on Ray Miller's team, cracked out three hits to serve notice that he may be a very useful addition. With Lloyd Fruend on the injured list, Joe Frett brought back George Jackson for infield duty. Duane Andreas was another addition to a lineup that looks strangely different from the '56 season. Richard "Tony" Freund hit a two-bagger for the only extra-base hit of the day. With nine hits and six bases on balls, Richmond had plenty of men on base, but left them stranded. On the other mitt, the Tigers came through with that timely hit with men on base. Richmond Woodall--2B Werstein--SS H. Miller--CF Kinflall--LF, C G. Miller--RF J. Busch--IB L.

The only thing that doesn't change is the "Win" column. The printers must be frantic keeping scores cards up to date. Stay with 'em, you Cub fans. One of these years! DAILY PINUPS: Sentiment without sentimentality is like savor without Saltiness. Many things may be bought, many others must be won. First signs of depreciation in one man's car may be a second glance at 'another's new one. It is called kid stuff when you play the part of the boat. The only difference between May and December is winds and weather. Sophistication is like a shell which sometimes hides a precious pearl. --Anonymous -- McHENRY RECREATION -- Tues.

The team started by beating Crystal Lake 8-2 in a 9 hole match. Larry Cory was low with a 38. Barrington came to McHenry and beat them 11-4 in a 18 hole match. The match was close as most of the boys lost by one or two strokes. Low scores: Matt Eichinger 82, Roy Aim 83, and Larry Cory 92. Next came Libertyville to McHenry and we beat them 11-4 in a 18 hole > match. McHenry had no trouble as scores were very respectable: Matt Eichinger 78, Roy Alrrf 79, Larry Cory 89, Bob Cable 92, Dick Smith 96. Then came the second loss which was handed to McHenry by Grayslake. This was one of McHenry's worst days as scores soared up at Grayslake. Larry Cory had the only respectable score of 82. Roy Aim had a 87, Matt Eichinger 90, Dick Smith 89, Bob Cable 92. Lake Forest came to McHenry only to go down in defeat 14%- 3^. Scores were not good because of high winds, Matt Eichinger shot an 83, Larry Cory an 89, Dick Smith an 95. Dundee which had just started golf came here to go down in defeat 10-0 in a 9 hole match. Matt Eichinger and Roy Aim each had a 40, Larry Cory had 41 D. Smith and Cable ted 45. Next McHenry traveled to Zion Benton where they had a close match, but won in a 9 hple match 8%-l%. Matt Eichinger nad to birdie the last hole to win his match 40-41. Roy Aim won 41- 45, Larry Cory won 44-46, Dick Smith won 46-50, and Ed Cepulis lost 49-48. Then came a tough Elgin team at Elgin. This day was a raining Thursday and our boys beat Elgin 7-3 in a 9 hole match. Matt Eichinger won 43-44. Roy Aim won 43-46, L. Cory won 47-48, Dick Smith won 46-48, Bob Cable lost 46-47. On Friday, May 10, the boys went to Arlington Heights for the district golf. Here again it rained all morning and our boys did not show up as expected, but did place 6th. Scores were: Matt Eichinger 43-43-86, Roy Aim 43- 38-81, Larry Cory 49-41-90, Bob Cable 45-45-91, Dick Smith 47- 46-93, Ed Cepulis 46-42-88. To qualify as a team 314 was needed. McHenry totaled 345. Individual qualifier needed 77 or less. It should > be noted that a local boy' placed second with an 36-35-71. That was Jim Clark who is representing St. Mary's of Woodstock. Jim will be at Champaign this weekend. The McHenry golf team wishes you a lot of luck Jim. It is a fact that the people of the nation, as a whole, have lost much of their former admiration for the professions as a whole. % By Jack Walsh THE GREAT OUTDOORS ' 'A:' JlilMI It happens every time. The bluegills and crappies just start hitting flies good and it either rains for two weeks or gets cold and windy enough to prevent good fishing. , ; We saw a fellow hunting carp with his bow and arrow in the slough across the road from Snug Harbor. We did not'stop to see if he had had any luck, or not. "A few carp were thrashing around but it will be a while before they really start flopping around the creeks and swamps. Last winter quite a few rough fish were netted out of the river. Maybe this will help some of the other fish regain a foothold. We hope so. With all the rain we have been having, the bullheads and catfish have been biting pretty good. , y We tried Lake GeneVa last Saturday. The day was filed under "E" for--experience because we did not have vary good luck. A few trout were caught over in Williams Bay early in the morning and a couple of northerns were also taken. Aside from that all we saw were * bunch of small bluegills and some nice bullheads. O.E.S. News by Lillian Bossier To the members and friends of McHenry chapter, I would like to say that it was a very heartwarming sight to see so many of you at the meeting. To those of you who couldn't make it we sure missed you. The evening was most impressive. The boys served a wonderful bar-b-que lunch with trimmings and the most delicious coffee you could drink. To top off the evening, we played games and I know there were gifts enough for all. The next meeting, May, 28, will be past officers' night. Let's maike this a gala event too. The past meeting, all the chairs on the sidelines were filled and I'm hoping we have more of the same. Don't by all means forget our dinner on June 29. As always, Protect I? Our"^ Nation's. Youth E Kelly Brd#a We do not have any more to report on our diamond• at the V.F.W. as yet, but hope to have good news before the week is over. From the way the teams are all 'out practicing, the .boys will certainly be in fine shape for the season. \ I think Bill Klapperich is going to be the one to watch this year. He has had His boys off by themselves for practice, and Swedo, and Bart Yegge better watch out this season for a dark horse. All yoii hear frorq Louis Swedo and Bart is they need more bats and balls. Their boys must be hitting the ball so hard they are breaking all the bats. Pete DeCico has been pretty quiet about his team but he can be depended oh to put a good team on the field this year. So all we have to wait for is to see if Don Johnson can uphold the first place position that the Yanks had last year. Ralph Bennett ' informed us last night that the, new name for his business is the' McHenry Heating and Air Conditioning Co., but of course the. Uniforms will still carry the, .pjd name of McHenry Oil Burner'Co, However, they will be changed "for next year. Ralph was one of the-first men to offer to sponsor team and we wish him to have all the credit possible. ^ £a£ HOME WffiEAV TO HEAR TALK ON SOCIAL SECURITY Erwin Kris, Social Security office field representative, will talk on "Your Social Security" at a McHenry county Home Bureau meeting May 21.
