Pag* Four THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday/ April* 19,1462 *»• SO I HEAR... Recently we met Gerald Miller and Chuck Gies and gathered from the discussion that they love those Cubs. Now comes this note from Gerald: "Dear Earl: For the first time in ten years the Cubs are losing the opening games of the season and right away you have it in print. Next year when the Sox run true to form again, ask to hear from us Cub fans, huh? Sincerest regards, Gerald J. Miller" Guess we hadn't realized the Cubs were such hot-shots in the spring. It is a real lesson to us. We .should think of the flowers that bloom in the spring tra la, not %he withering stems so broken and bowed in the fall. It was great fun to rib our Cub friends when they lost a _ couple of games, but now that: score(j seven runs on only two Dundee Nine Wins 7-5 Over McHenry As Sun Goes Down Friday, the 13th of April, turned out to be unlucky for the Warrior baseball team. They lost a heart-breaker to the Cardinals of Dundee, 7 to 5. After tying two games, the first on Tuesday by the score 0-0, and the second on the following day by 2.-2, the Warriors took an early lead in the very first inning. They scored four *aaans on three walks, a hit - batsman, and three hits, one of them a two-run homer by Bill DeCicco. McHenry added another run in the bottom of the fourth. With only three innings to go, the chances for McHenry winning the game looked pretty good. But in the next inning, the chances looked better for Dundee as they they have lost seven in a row we are overcome with sym pa thy. Ted Pitzen is in favor of putting uniforms on those sports writers who wrote rosy reports of the Cubs in spring training and let those scribes take their lumps. Such misrepresentation by experts must be answered. We haven't looked lately, but somebody told us the Sox have been ginning. If they ever go into a tailspin, we will expect more mail- Glad to hear from you. It lets us know you read our glowing praise. Write away, right away. Back to the home front. Gene Freund tells us the Shamrocks will practice on Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 5 p.m. Roger Benson will manage the team this year and will welcome ball players who wish to come out to practice. One gathers there is new life in that Shamrock group this year. First home gajne is set for May 6th against Harvard. hits, a single and a double. Three walks, two errors, and a wild pitch also contributed to the scoring. Even though the Warriors had the bases loaded in the fifth and sixth innings, they could not score. Because of darkness, the game was called and Dundee won 7-5. Eikleberry, relieved by Peters in the last two innings got the win; and DeCicco, who relieved Petersen in the ill-fated fifth, got the loss.

The Conservation Department reports that the quail population in Southern Illinois has increased 25 per cent over that of last year. With luck and a good hatching season, their numbers should approach the 1957 and 1958 levels. Every year, more and more hunters from this area heatj^ to the southern part of the state to shoot quail. All sign to date indicate that the tnp will be worthwhile this fall. Due to the Easter Season, the McHenry Sportsmen's club will hold its monthly prize trapshoot Sunday, April 29, commencing at 1 p.m. The smelt run has started in Lake Michigan, but catches have been small, averaging about one dozen to each fisherman per night.

Parkview, McCullom Lake, on Wednesday, April 11, at Harvard hospital. She had been a patient there for three days the previous week and insisted on coming home even though she was not feeling well. She voted in the primary election on Tuesday and it was apparent that her condition was serious. When she became extremely ill Wednesday evening an ambulance was summoned about 8:30 p.m. and she was rushed to Harvard, accompanied by a neighbor, Mrs. Elsie Nelson. Upon admittance, she was given blood transfusions and oxygen, but these measures were unable to save her. Mrs. Poledna was given the last rites of the Catholic church and she succumbed about 10:30 p.m. Born in Chicago on "May. 8, 1899, Mrs. Poledna was married to Jerry Cermak and they purchased their property in McCullom Lake about 1932. He preceded her in death in 1948. Mrs. Cermak became . the bride of Frank Poledna, a long time family friend who was a widower, on Feb. 12, 1950. During the thirty years she resided in McCullom Lake, Mrs. Poledna was active in every organization and club, some of which include the now defunct Screwy Dozen, the Property Owners' association, charter member of the McCullom-Knoll association, and organizer and charter member of the Ladies of the Lake. No chore was too burdensome nor any task too menial for Mrs. Poledna to lend her talents. Over the years, her name was on the list of every fund drive conducted in the village.
