5" • '! Section OH -- Page Four ~" "" THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER , It was about 9:30 one recent evening that we kissed our Aunt Elizabeth goodbye and told her we would expect the kiss back when she returned from kissing the Blarney stone. Sullivan Speeds To Stock Car Win At Wilmot She was packed and ready to take off early the next morning for Ireland. She arose early and dressed. Shortly after, she went back to sleep-- to a sleep from which she was not to return. It was Father Parker's classic remark, "She planned to go to Ireland, but went to Heaven instead." Supt. James C. Bush, of the Johnsburg school where she taught until a couple of years ago, was high in praise of her steady influence and how she refused to listen to unkind words about anybody. That wonderful trait was recalled by many others. We had jolly times in earlier years in that home on Irish Prairie. Now the aunts and uncles and many othei^, who gathered there when we were young, are all gone. It gives us a strange feeling. Sorry you missed seeing Iceland, Aunt Elizabeth, but know you are in a place where you will help open the door for the rest of us some day. Heaven couldn't wait. We were glad to have a visit with Cliff Fulton this week. All sports fans know by now that he is leaving McHenry after long service in our high school. It is as a basketball coach that most will remember him. He had some interesting teams in those years, several on the edge of greatness. It always seemed that McHenry lacked just one player, usually a tall one. Cliff assured us that McHenry had been good to him and it is hard to pull up stakes when your family has taken roots in a community. It was a hard decision to make. We have been given no information as to our new basketball coach. Suppose he will be named as soon as possible. We think Cliff was trying to tell us to be kind to his successor since the material just might not be up to championship caliber next season. The Shamrocks, who have shown strength in the county league, will play two games at home this coming weekend. Waukegan will be here Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. At 1:30 Sunday the Johnsburg Tigers will be here. That should be a good pair of games to watch. "It has been a long time since you and I talked baseball," said Marie Yegge one recent morning after her Cubs had won and our Sox had goofed. A Taking Girl She took my hand in sheltered nooks, She took my candy and my books, She took that lustrous wrap of fur, She took those gloves I bought for her. She took my words of love and care, She took my flowers, rich and rare, She took my time for quite a while, She took my kisses, maid so shy -- She took, I must confess, my eye, She took whatever I would buy. And then she took another K'Jy. STOCK CAR RACING Every Saturday Nile Kenosha County Speedway Wilmot, Wis. Adults $1.50 Tax Included Children (under 12) 50c Time Trials • • • • 6:45 p.m. Tax Included 1st Race 8:30 p.m. Jim Sullivan of Antioch, Illinois driving the Diestler Motors Plymouth powered modified, won the 25 lap feature race at Wilmot Saturday night on heavy, and rough track that saw many cars flip in the action that keep fans in their seats right through to the finish. Sullivan took the feature race lead away from Bill Strom of Milwaukee and then stretched out the distance to the 22nd lap when the race, had to be stopped to move the Car of Don Scorce off the track. He had tried to move around the ailing car of Geno Wagner but struck the outside wall and damaged his steering to the extent that he couldn't continue. Sullivan continued in the lead on the restart to the checkered flag and was followed by Duane Harris, Bill Strom, Bob Strunk and Bill Bohn. Harris, the leading point driver in 1965 competition, just made it around Strom for second at the wire. Heat race winners were George Uttech, Kenosha; Jr. Dodd, Waukegan; Jim Olett, Hales Corners; and Kenny Tlougan, Milwaukee. Jr. Dodd also won the 15 lap semi-feature over Bill Kline of Burlington and Lee Weslawski of East Troy, Wisconsin. In this race, Darv Nissen of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois flipped going off the backstretch with such force that he tore the front axel from his car. Nissen was not injured. In the spectator competition the cars of Tom Schweiss of Fox Lake and Harland Vix of Kenosha were roll over victims. Neither of these drivers were injured. Pop Kline of Pell Lake, Wisconsin was feature race and heat race winner in spectator cars with Ray Bush of Silver Lake, Wis. Shamrocks Win 6-4 Ball Game From Dundee --Unknown. Woman's Auxiliary to McHenry Little League was formed at a meeting held Monday, July 19, at the V.F.W. club. Officers were elected: President, Mary Liss; vicepresident, Marion Adams; vicepresident, Mary Steinsdoerfer; secretary, Helen Bacon; treasurer, Marion Haines. Anyone interested in joining, call 385-0363 or 385-3526. First meeting will be announced later. Duano Harris continues to draw attention for his driving at the Waukegan Speedway. He keeps McHenry on the map as far as that area is concerned with the sport. The Johnsburg Tigers had a real battle on their hands last Sunday in beating Richmond 3-2 in 13 innings as Georgie Gobel would say, you hardly eyer see those kind of games no more. Pickups Laugh a little, Love a little As you go your way. Work a little, Play a little. Do this every day. Give a little. Take a little Never mind a frown. Make your smile a welcome thing All around the town. Laugh a little. Love a little Skies are always blue, Every cloud has a. silver lining. But it's up to you. "The Padre" McHenry's Shamrock baseball team continued its win ing place last Sunday with a 6-4 win over Dundee. The Shamrocks started the scoring in the third inning. Tom Hynan. reached first on an error and Bill Funk, drove- bim in. Bill scored on an error by the catcher. They scored two runs in the fourth inning on an error and two hits. After two men had reached base in the sixth inning, Tim Farr hit a home run. Tom Hynan followed with a hit, took second on a passed ball, and scored on Bill Funk's hit. Dundee scored their final two runs in the seventh inning. McHenry had eight hits and Dundee had seven. Russ Cox went all the way for the win. Bill Funk went 2-5 and Clarence Adams went 2-4. Saturday the Shamrocks play host to the Waukegan Lakers with the game starting at 3:00. Sunday Johnsburg comes to town with the game starting at 1:30. We have a V2 game lead over Johnsburg and Sunday could very well decide the county league championship. McHenry 6 AB R H Funk, 3b 5 12 Koch, 2b 5 0 1 Freund, If 2 0 0 Gibson, If 10 0 V.

Little League Notes by A1 Olson, president July 17 brought the 1965 McHenry Little League regular playing schedule to a close, ending another season for youngsters 8 through 12. Three rained out games were played early this week and now all that > remains before all is quiet is a series of All Star games. Again this year the league board of directors has chosen not to enter the National League Tournament, but instead, to arrange for our own local All Star series of games.

Local Athletes Big Winners In Sports Jamboree McHenry athletes came home from the Cary sectional of the Illinois Junior Sports Jamboree Saturday night proudly carrying three first place awards, six seconds, one third, four fourths, ten fifths and six sixths. The local team made a fine showing against very stiff competition from 24 other towns, according to Don Seaton who accompanied the group to Cary. Brian McCafferty won first place in the Junior Boys' 50 yard dash, Dorothy Kupstis received a first medal in the Intermediate Girls' baseball throw, and our third first place finisher was Jo Ann Freiind in the Junior Girls' high jump, but because of a three-way tie, missed the free trip to. Charleston and .was given the third place ribbon. McCafferty and KupStis are among the lucky 59 who won the expense paid trip to the state meet ,to be held at Charleston, Illinois in August. McHenry fared very well with 30 awards out of the 354 given with 25 teams, in competition. There was approximately 1400 boys and girls in competition. by Agnes Prazak ^July 15 saw the Sox win over the Braves 9 to 3. Only one home run was hit, by Wegener of the Sox.

Bill Huff and Ed Mack hooked up in a pitchers' duel which saw Richmond oj>en the scoring in the top of the sixth inning. After one out, Fehler reached on a bunt single, stole second and scored on Don Kramer's double to left center. In the Tiger's half of the seventh, they scored their only run in regulation play when Lloyd Smith smashed a long home run to right field. This ended all scoring until Richmond' came to bat in top of the 13th. With one out, Lay singled to right. The ball bounced away from the right fielder, Meyers, and when Lay tried to go to third John Hiller's wild heave allowed him to go all the way home. ^But the Tigers were not dead yet. In bottom of the 13th, John Hiller and Ted Freund led off Wegener 23 Standings Cards Giants Sox Braves .347 with walks. Schaefer's sacrifice and May's infield out brought in the tying run and Dick Kazlausky singled to drive in the winning tally. The Tigers have a busy week ahead, playing at Beloit Friday night. On Saturday they will host the Knights of St. John' (game time 3:00 p.m.) and on Sunday the Tigers travel to McHenry for a game which may decide the County league championship. Tiger Notes: On August 15th, the Tigers will play the Old Timers. The probable manager for the Old Timers will be Joe Frett who in the past has managed many of the Tigers' great teams.
