.. . «5. 4, SEG. 1 - PLAINDEALER - APR. 6, 1967 • 'Twas Saturday night with a whirling week behind us, and time for some fun as George and Mary Freund wheeled up to take us to the Forester bowling dinner at Chapel Hill Country Club. The first person to greet us as we entered was "Red" Winkel and from there on the night was aglow.. This bowling league must hold some sort of record, having started 43 years ago. George Freund and Henry M. Schaefer are the only survivors of the original cast. "Pa" and Anna Themes were there Saturday night, rating honors as the seniors of the group. And another young fellow, Nick B. Freund, and his wife were recognized. Separate Bill Althoff, Harold J. Freund, Winkel, Nick B. and George P. from that crowd of bowlers and you get to the juniors, sophomores and rookies. We don't know how long Bill Kreutzer has been bowling, but do know he started spotting pins way back when. He was the automatic spotter of his day. George gave a history of Harold Freund's 25 years of timber tumbling that was an interesting feature of the program. We had forgotten until George recalled the days when their group started a volley ball league. Same of the bowlers looked lite volley ball players so they had to discontinue the venture. it - leather Baumhofer added a bundle of fun and good fellowship to the program and ex- Onldoars cfcsl Watab MESSRS SO I HEAR By Earl Walsh pressed a liking for the blending of youth with the oldsters. Fisheries biologists are touting Ramsey State Lake, in Fayette County for bluagill fishing this year. In 18S6, anglers caught an estimated 17,000 fish from this 49 acre lake with 10 inch bluegills and redear sunfish being quite common. Large mouth bass, croppies, green sunfish, and channel catfish are also abundant, and showed good growth in recent surveys of Ramsey Lake. Camping and picnicking facilities are available, and boats are for rent at Ramsey State Lake, although outboard motors are not permitted at this South- Central park.

Grant High Here Monday; Play Cardunmls Here Tuesday By Bert Hagemann Because We have been blessed with such beautiful Florida like weather, the McHenry baseball Warriors just put in a good two weeks practice. In the five years since I have been at McHenry, we have never been so far along so early in the season. With time still remaining before our first ball game this Monday against Grant, we have had the benefit of numerous days otttside on the green acres of McCracken field. Two intrasquad games have been held and the different positions on the ball club are beginning to firm up and take shafie. On the mound the hurlers fll be Kit Carstens, Steve ilman, Bill Kuechel, and This party had more bounce to the (Mince than you find in most such gathering. Albert S. Blake (minus his collection box) and his committee did a bang-ujj job. The Walshes say tharik you for the memory of a fun-packed evening. SPOR' We have troubles. Our old side-kick, Walt Freund, seems to have jjrong leanings toward the Cubs these days. K seems to\ be the magnetism of Leo Dur^ocher. ,He isn't a Stanky man so the Sox are loosing his attention. On Sunday we talked to Dick Burmann, who has also switched his loyalty to the Cubs due to an incident with Stanky "The Brat". It looks like something must be done, hi the meantime, let the records show that S.I.H. remains loyal to his first love, the Sox. PICKUPS The Chaplains who pray daily for the United States Senate and the House might say a word occasionally for the taxpayer. Most wallets wouldn't be so fat these days if you took out the credit cards. You are young only once, and that excuse won't last forever. Money isn't everything; it just quiets the nerves a little. After the first hour a large cocktail party sounds like the zoo at feeding time. Some of the new dances may not be dying but it loo^ as if they are suffering terribly. Spring Tonic Slioif Sunday At Mcliiry Spirtsmen's The McHenry Sportsmen's Club will hold a Spring Tonic Steak Shoot on Sunday, April 9th, starting at 11 a.m. In lieu of the time honored sulphur and molasses dosage at the onset of Spring, shotgun enthusiasts can indulge in the red meat treatment by winning one or more tender-aged Jo- Pat steaks. They can be won by shooters who rank from Class AA down to those who cannot hit the wide side of a long barn. To make it possible for the less proficient nimrods to capture the big percentage of meat, shooting contests have been umtimui A1 CHANGE FOOT LEAGUE BASEBALL TO BABE RUTH ft has just been announced that the Babe Ruth Baseball League will replace Pony League in McHenry.

MciHIscify atMts By Bill Bolger The next important date to remember is Sunday, April 16th. Weather permitting, we will hold try outs on that day at the Little League Field. Watch next week's Plaindealer for details. Every year about this time we make our predictions on the Little League pennant race. Here is how they look for 1967. Lef s start with last year'-g' champs, the Cardinals. The Cards will again be managed by the wily Ed Doyle. Ed faces a rebuilding job. but his team will be tough. Last year's second place team, the Owls, lost seven good ball players. However, they have some good players coming back and under the tutelage of their new manager, Harry Brodin, they will come along in good shape. The Hawks will again be managed by Vic Bassi. He is all smiles when he looks at the list of players on his roster. The Hawks will be a contender. The Orioles, managed by Gary Gough, could go all the way. They have talent and Gary doesn't aim for second place. The Falcons, managed by Bill Scheid, will be in the race all the way. Watch them if their pitching comes through. George Gilpin is the new manager of the Condors and he likes Ids team. If he gets some help from his new players, he can win. The Eagles will have comanagers, Tom Law son and Larry Huck. They have enthusiasm and could be the surprise team in the league. Yours truly will manage the Bluebirds. We have nine players back from last year and should finish in the first division. It looks, like the teams are evenly matched and the pennant will go to the team that works the hardest. weighted in their favor. At the last meet, some winners did not break a single target. There is the Hi-Lo Shoot for example, where the gunner with the high score wins a steak, and the shooter with the low score wins a steak. Then there is the Hi- Lo White Bird Shoot. In this contest The high gun wins a steak, as does the low gun, in addition to the lucky shooter who bags the white bird, a target which is released from the trap at an unknown interval, and which is painted white. Regular targets are black and yellow. PRACTICE ROUNDS Juicy young chickens will be on the prize list for those who prefer cackling cutlets, in the same range of contest. Protection Shoots, Annie Oakley, double, Triple and Quintuple White Bird Shoots will round out the days program, along with 10 and 25 bird practice rounds. The McHenry Sportsmen's trap range is on the west side of Pistakee Bay and can be reached from the east via Route 134 Big Hollow Road to its western terminus, then a right turn for Vz mile. From the west the route is through Johns burg, across the Fox River and a left turn at Adams Service station. From McHenry go north on Chapel Hill Road to Adams Station and then a right turn. Refreshments and shells in the club house. The shooting schedule for the balance of the month includes a prize shoot Sunday 23, with practice sessions on Saturday 15, 22, and 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. A business meeting is set for Monday 10th at 8 p.m. TRACKMEM SET FOR OPEMEB AT DUNDEE THURSDAY Coach Don Seaton and his Warriors travel to Dundee Thursday for the opening track meet of the 1967 season. The weather has not been kind to the boys but (hey have managed a few practices outdoors. Boys who are looking good for this time of the year and should put some points on the scoreboard are as follows: John Todd and Bob Wahls (transfer from Maine West) in the pole vault. Mike Sobacki is showing some early return to his old self again in the sprints. Doug Khort is whipping the discus out and should be a conference contender. Bob Moore is improving in the shot put every day. Carl Johnson and Rich Olezczuk are getting in shape for some fine duels in the hurdles this year. Phil Kraus in the high jump wants to better the 6* jump he made last year. Dennis Robey, a soph., is improving in the 440. Sam Lamont, Charlie Neubauer, Chris Rasmus sen and Tony Wagner are a few of Coach Scott's distance runners getting into shape. The first home meet is April 13 at 4:15 with the Warriors hosting the Tigers from Crystal Lake. sophomore Don Reinboldt. Holding down the infield posts will be Pat Camasta, Bob Funk, sophomore Mike Janik, Dave Sard, Jerry Glosson, and spare infielders Dave Weber and Chuck Reilly. The outfield posts will be manned by Dick Doherty, Steve Kutnick, Bruce Domoto, George Piccolo, and Jim Laursen who can also double behind the plate. WHO'S HITTING? , Kuechel and Reilly can also play the outfield, so the squad will have some maneuverability, depending on who is hot with the lumber at a given time. If the weather is at all kind to us this week, we will have a good chance to have our pitchers ready to anywhere from five to seven innings in their first start as the first week of the season .sees five games scheduled in the first six days. Ifyou get a chance, try and pick up one or both of the Warriors home games this next week as the Bulldogs of Grant will invade on Monday, and the tough Cardunals of Dundee will journey to McCracken field on Tuesday. Games start at 4:30, and we definitely could use your support. Ray Bujak.
