Everyone is to bring their own lunches and any other beverages you might want. Pop will be furnished. At 1 p.m. there will be a ball game between the management, coaches and the all stars. After that, there will be a game between the mothers and sons. Hope everyone turns out for what should be a very nice day. Beach Committee There is to be a beach committee for Herzog beach which works in teams of two each week. They will make sure that disciipline is followed, plus keeping grounds and equipment in proper order. The committee is as follows: Ray Chadwick, Floyd Leigh, Bill Koester, Wally Lawrence, Frank Bartos and Bert Townsend. Not Up To Par Glad to see Billy Eckhart back playing ball. He'd been confined with the flu bug. The day Billy returned to the team, his team-mate, Johnnie Reining, found himself unable to play as he had jabbed a nail into his foot earlier in the day. Hope John's foot is okay so he gets to play in his team's last two games of the season. Aggie and Joe Prazak have had their share of pulled or strained muscles this past week. Aggie has been suffering from a pulled neck muscle while spouse, Joe, has been aching with a strained back muscle. Hope they are both okay by now. Our wishes also go to Mike Krug.

'] Pony League Many of our boys have played in McHenry's Pony league this past season. Each of the four teams had boys from Lakeland Park. The Braves team took first place in the league. The team is managed by Ed Druml and Joe Prazak from here. Members from our subdivision playing on the Braves were Ken Prazak, Mike Linnane, Tom Przetacznik, Ray Bottari and John Henneberg. On Sunday the team was presented with individual trophies. The big trophy was presented to the sponsor of the team, Chuck Miller. A family picnic and father-son ball games were in order following the presentations. The men participating from here were Joe Prazak, who did a fine job catching; Len Bottari, who played third base like a pro; Bill Kamp looked good at his right field position and Ed Druml did a fine job in left field. He managed to hit the game-tying home run for the men in the first game. Know there must have been many aching muscles on Monday. Rosemary Przetacznik and Kay Druml were among the hard working ladies who served hot dogs, pop and brew to the large crowd. It was quite a day, believe me. We'd like to express our congratulations to the Braves team and especially to the members from our subdivision who were on the team and also to the two men.
