mmm. SO I HEAR Day Of Sports Recall The sky was clear and the temperature pleasing as we pulled into the Johnsburg baseball diamond last Sunday as we had done so many times in so many years. It was the McHenry Shamrocks invading the Johnsburg Tiger grounds, a natural rivalry that has been healthy for the- county league. The crowd was small as the game started, many fans not remembering the 1:30 start. We looked around and saw Hank Hiller, Pete DeCicco, Norb Smith and his wife, Pete Oeffling and George Michels. And we wondered what happened to the old gang that used to be there. They soon started coming in and it turned out to be the largest crowd the Tigers have seen in many moons. Kathy Blake, scouting for the Cubs, and her father soon joined us. Then came Joe Frett and everything seemed right. We missed the announcing that Hank Hiller did so long. That added to the game for many years. Both teams have some good ball players and good ball teams should develop. With Ed Mack absent, the Tigers were hurtin' in the pitching department. Phil Schmidt hurled good ball for the Shamrocks until an error got him in trouble and he threw a home run pitch to Paul Morenz. Paul drove that one a country mile up the hill in center field. With two out, and first base empty, the Shamrocks chose to pitch to Paul, who represents the power in the Tiger lineup. If they had a second guess (like the rest of us), they would have given Paul a free ride to that empty first base. Three runs crossed the plate on that big blast. It was Sports Unlimited at the Plaindealer office Tuesday morning when, by chance, Earl 11. Walsh, left, and Harold "Zeke" Bacon of Crystal Lake arrived at the same time. It took only a bit of recollection to add up thirty- six years of consecutive sports reporting for the Plaindealer. "Zeke's" column appeared from 1929 to 1935, when "So I Hear" began writing. Both of the gentlemen assure their readers that they were very young when they took over their assignments, and the long history of reporting gives no indication of their age. THREE GAMES PER WEEK OYl SHAMROCKS BUSY SCHEDULE OF BAIL GAMES Cox was a real good pitcher, coming in cold from his right field position. Good control and smart mixing of pitches kept the Tigers under control. Fellcws like Dick Hiller and Joe Frett thought he looked good. The Tigers had three Hillers in their lineup. Keep it up and you may catch up to the Freunds of yesteryear. Just to show how time goes by, , Gene Freund says he is the "old man" of the ball club. We'll still take him on our team. TKe crowd wasn't as wild and noisy as in the old days, but it was a good game to watch. Plenty of action. And, McHenry beat Johnsburg. That, my friends, is news! With all the marches and sit-ins around the country, it seems the unemployment problem must be worse than reported. After our request last week for calls as to interest in auto racing reports, Herman Dowe was the only fan to call. Herman never misses the races at Wilmot. We do not plan to give racing the same space as local sports events, but want to run something each week if interest 'is shown. Young bride, looking over the new but empty apartment: "Now we'll have a love seat over there, a love seat over here, and a love seat on this spot." Young husband: "I thought this was supposed to be the living room." His bride: "Well, if that isn't living, I'd like to know what is.' The McHenry Shamrocks played three games this past week. We only won one game, but it was a big one. against Johnsburg (8-5>. Wednesday evening we went to Elgin and played the Noon Hours. After the first inning it was a real good ball game. Our starting pitcher Ben Rezba had some control trouble, walking four and giving up two hits while retiring only one batter. Ron Mauer came in and retired the side after six runs had scored. After the first inning eacjj^ team scored one run and . the game ended with Elgin winning 7-1. Our sceoncfH£i&s of the week was against DeKalb a! Genoa. We had a real fine scoring opportunity in the sixth inning, but because of bad base running we scored two runs instead of four. Rill Funk went '2-5, Paul Koch went 3-5, and Phil Schmidt went 1-3 but his one hit was a triple with two men on. This weekend we have another three games, playing away on Friday and Monday evening, and at home on Saturday afternoon •-- starting time is 3:00. McHenry AB R H C. Adams 4 0 0 D. Klapperich 4 0 0 G.

McHenry scored five times in the third inning as a result of an error; walk and four hits. Johnsburg scored four runs in their half of the third on two errors, a walk, and three hits. The big hit was Paul Morenz's long home run straight away center. , Johnsburg then scored another run in the fourth with the help of two more walks and two hits. McHenry then came back in tho^seventh to score three runs on four hits. » Gene Freund and Russ Cox were the hitting stars for McHenry, getting two hits a piece and some valuable R.B.I.'s. Harry May went 3-5, Bob Hiller 2-3 and Morenz's one hit for four bases did the most damage to McHenry. Johnsburg travels to Stateville Saturday and then play a good Beloit team at Johnsburg Sunday, June 20. Beloit was the winner of the Northern Illinois Tournament last year and were strong finishers in the finals at Michigan.

ATTEND CIII'KCH SUNDAY The Johnsburg Tigers, after winning four games straight, have suddenly lost two games in as many days. Sunday the Tigers blew an easy chance to move out ahead of the McHenry County League, by losing to McHenry 8 to 5 and Monday night the Tigers lost an 8 to 2 decision to DeKalb. The Tigers went ahead in the top of the third inning against DeKalb, but in the bottom of that inning, DeKalb tied the score and never was headed after that. DeKalb left hander Pickett went all the way and got the win while right hander Ed Mack took the loss for Johnsburg. The Tigers erratic fielding has been a big factor in their early losses. In 1964 Johnsburg defense was one of the big factors in their winning of the championship. Johnsburg will try to start a new attack this weekend when they play Stateville on Saturday and then come home Sunday to face the defending state champions Beloit.

"THE TATTOOED POLICE HORSE" The golf gremlins sent rain and other discouraging elements out to harass the sponsors of the "Moment of Truth" benefit golf tournament Saturday. However, the skies cleared, the show did go on and Sunday the most repeated fairway remark was, "you should have been there!" This first all-area tournament ever held on a Par 3 golf course may have established new. appeal for the ancient game. By reducing the competition into a compact panorama such as the Par 3 layout., provides, it became an interesting- spectator sport. Playing the Concord Green country club pre-shrunk course for the first time, Edward J. Buss Jr., of McIIenry C.C. shot 29-29-58 to. take 1he iow score prize for men and' also anchor his club twosome (Mrs. Harold R. Vitense was his partner) to the major award. Their combined total of 121-- 'with Mrs. Vitense's 32 added, gave them the first leg on the Temple McFayden Trophy. For the individual low scores there were twin trophies donated by James R. McAlvin and his wife, Joan. His trophy went to Buss and hers was won by Miss Penny Kerndt of Thorngate C.C. with 33-28-62. The "Moment of Truth" meet attracted more than 20 golf club champions, both men and women, who played on even terms (without handicaps) over the short course. Other scores: John F. Carmichael, sports editor of the Chicago Daily News and master of • ceremonies, who has covered all of the Masters golf tournaments since that foremost golf event was started, said he thought the Par 3 tournament was destined to become one of the game's most popular attractions. "Your walking distance is reduced to acceptable dimensions and the game's most interesting shols are constantly being displayed," he said. PRIZE CATCH ! • • • " ' ' V " 6 : . ' : !

PLAN BENEFIT By Agnes Prazak Sunday saw the Sox winning over the Braves with a 5 to 3 score. There was only 1 homerun in "the game, which came in the 4th inning by Greg Mayer, the pitcher on the Braves. The second game was played with the Cards winning over the Giants, 5 to 3. The pitcher, Mark Demoto on the Giants struck out 12 boys from the Cards but couldn't hold the boys down. The Giants came from behind to tio the score in the 5th inning. The teams played into an extra inning with the Cards scoring two big runs in the 8th to win the game. Gino Hester hit a home run and John Reinboldt stole home.
