Pag* Pour THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER SO I HEAR ... Earlier this summer, Peter M. Justen told us of a visit with a former McHenry ball player, a real old timer. This week we had a visit with thai old timer, Phil Weber. Way back in the year 1906 the McHenry Blues had a topnotch pitcher -- this same Phil Weber. He is an uncle of Mrs. Vaughn Jones. SHAMROCKS WW OPENER IN TOURNEY Swamp Harvard In County Meet; Play Johnsburg Sunday The McHenry tfiues were managed by Peter Weber and our uncle, Richard Walsh. This Richard is not to be confused with Richard B. "Dick" Walsh, "who later brought some great baseball and great players to McHenry. We have a picture of those old Blues and pulled it out. However, Pitcher Phil Weber had recently called on Bob Weber (the bat boy of those days) and then called on Bob's mother, Mrs. Nettie Weber, who showed him the picture. Gene Freund's two-run homer in the top of the eleventh inning, gave the Shamrocks a 7-6 win over Grayslake in their first game of the A. A. B. C. Tourney at Genoa. It was the third home-run of the game for the Shamrocks who have really started hitting the long ball lately. Six of the nine hits were for extra bases. Grayslake started "'the scoring in the first inning as the first two men singled, then with one out McRoy doubled to score two. Smith then tapped to the pitcher Schroeder, who threw to Freund at third and they had McRoy in a rundown. Gene tagged him out SOFTBALL NOTES We find such names on the team as. Jake Buss.

From San Lorenzo, Calif., comes a nice letter from Ted Budil with a column from the San Francisco Chronicle which gives Chuck Hiller a world of praise for his determined fight to win the second base job with the Giants. Ted and his son, Ted, Jr.. (who went to school with Chuck* went to see the Giants play and caught Chuck in one of his real good days.

McHenry Country Club News by John Varese The championship tournaments, both club and handicap, are coming down to the wire and the pressure will be showing on the boys in the final round this Sunday. The leaders of both tournaments, Art Jackson in the club and Dick Freund in the handicap, have maintained their positions from the first round, but it will have to be said that it can be anybody's tournament at this point. Paul Overton has Mr. Jackson by the shirt tail and knowing Paul, he is not to be denied his chances, because he just doesn't shake loose that easily. In the handicap championship, Jack Thies has come roaring into the semi-finals with the speed that I'm sure he wishes he could instill in a couple of nags that he knows, and has pulled up into a tie with Dick Freund in first place. Close behind these two gentlemen comes Jack Smithson, a 20-handicap man that has been hitting the ball real good and is a real threat. If you look real close behind these three guys, there is another threat known as ,'down the middle" Nell is, who* is a first class spoiler.

Some of them feel that if temperatures remain low, the birds will have migrated by Sept. 1. We feel that this is an unfounded fear because even if the local birds should migrate early, there will be plenty of good shooting at doves passing through from the North.
