-- Page Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEh Thursday. August. 13, 1964 SO I HEAR It was nice to see the John Anderson family last Sunday as they held their annual reun ion in the City Park. YOUNG SHAMROCKS BEAT OLD-TIMERS IN 7-4 BATTLE We hadn't seen Carl in some time, but found him the same old Carl--a real nice fellow all the way. The Andersons, boys and girls, are a great family of sports enthusiasts--and good athletes. . Anna had a record book from the old Cherry Valley School that had some amusing notations by the teachers on each pupil. One "student" (not an Anderson) had reached to age of 10 years and was moved up from first grade "because of his age." But, that is not to say that the little, one-room school houses didn't turn out some fine students. We often marvel at how those teachers handled all grades with such fine results. Of course, the Andersons had a ball game in the park, but we noticed it was a new crop participating. We had an enjoyable visit and hope this fine family enjoys many more days together. As this is written, the White Sox (you may have heard us mention them) just won a dou- - ble-header from the- Yankees. Our joy knows no bounds. Get ready for the World Series! "Guv" Bolger played third base for the Old Timers-Shamrock game last Sunday and must have had some sore muscles the next day. He put on quite an exhibition of hitting, base-running and sliding. "Guv" is the people's choice. A cigar from Charlie Pierce. It's a boy and the proud father has him throwing curves at this tender age. High school football notices make us think the summer is slipping away from us. Some of those hot days we wished it would -go someplace and stay jtCh-f£ v re.- '~• * jfF94. ------ PICKUPS-- ^ You^re going to get what's coming to you. Doctors may delay it, and ministers sooth ydfi, butryou can't escape it. The Shafhrocks took on the Old-Timers last Sunday and won the game 7-4. Some of the Old-Timers still look in pretty good shape. Hezzie Miller had three hits, including a double. Of course, we won't mention the one inning he pitched. Bob Knox had two good hits, and Guv Bolger hit a screaming liner down the right field line to score a run then, he stole second and later scored on a hit by Harry Dowell. . - Bob Adams got in the act with a clean single thru the infield, however, running the bases was a little out of his style so a courtesy runner was requested. Bob was proudest of all that he didn't strike out all day. Should have seen him cover right field. Jim Larkin looked like the Larkin of old except that the bat didn't hit the ball quite as often as it used to. Harry Dowell was on the mound for the first two innings. He had an accident a few years ago and wasn't able to throw his famous knuckle ball, but he still allowed only two runs. Everyone seemed to agree on one thing, the base paths had been lengthened too much since the time when they were playing. Tim Farr was the big gun for the Shamrocks with a three run home. Charlie Pierce had two hits. Old Timers AB R H Bob Knox 2b 4 1 2 Outdoors Bill Becknell If .. Howard Knox cf • • Jim Larkin ss Hezzie Miller lb p Bob Adams rf ... Sam Buenzli 3b ..
