J + ' y PG. 6- PLAINDEALERf- FRI. MAY 22, 1970 EARL WALSH I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ Hie final act in Ray (Cra­ cker) Schalk's life was record­ ed in the score book this week and many fine tributes have been written. He was a great baseball catcher anda fine man, as attested by his host of friends and admifers. An incident we remember showed Schalk as a quick think­ er. Not a great hitter, he had to get on base any old way. This time, with the count 2 and 2 on him, the pitcher threw a high pitch that obviously the catcher could not reach. Schalk swung his bat all the way around for a third strike, then hustled Notes from your Conservation Department by Bill Stanlik Fishing report: Fox River, Mcllenry Dam4' State Park, fishing is very good with catfish running to 20 lbs., and with a few very good north­ ern being caught. With this they are still getting some good walleye and a lot of strippers and crappies. Your best bait is minnows, with stinkbait and worms for your cats. Chain & Lakes: Here the fishing is slow with some crap­ pies and bullheads. Your best luck will be with minnows and nightcrawlers. to first base where he was safe. Ray Schalk was that kind of a ball player. We hear reports that Randy Hundley will have to undergo surgery on his injured knee and will be lost to his team for several weeks. Now we really feel sorry for those Cubs. In our book, Randy is a great one. You can talk to most at\y kid on the street and he will tell you the number of days and hours left before schools close and vacation starts. How well we remember how the gang used to run and whoop it up when turned loose on that last day. . We don't have it from the horse's mouth, but rumor says Bert "Hey! Hey!" Hagemann will be leaving Mcllenry for a position as school principal. Nice to see you go up the lad­ der, Bert, but want you to know you will be missed on our sport's page. You were gener* ous with your praise for good efforts and didn't fool us when you rubbed in a little salt. You were only trying to spur the boys on to greater efforts.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO The McHenry Tennis club held its annual Fun Fair May 14 at the West campus of the high school. A good time was had by all in playing tennis and swimming. Refreshments were served and a short infor­ mal meeting was held. It was announced that on Tuesday mornings, all women and girls who would like toplay tennis will meet at the city park tennis courts. Tuesday evenings, members will play at the West campus tennis courts. Anyone wishing to play may come out at these times and be assured of finding a partner or an opponent.

Warriors Dumped 4-2 By American Pro-Youth Elgin In Regional Play Proxy Pro Golf Classic O J Dear Earl: national tournament there w Personnel of the Illinois De­ partment of Conservation re­ leased 10,000 chinOok salmon in Lake Michigan of May 1. Bruce Muench, the area fishery biologist, said the fish were about three inches long. "We hope they will return to the lake front in two or three years as tackle-smashing adults weighing 20 pounds or more", Muench said. "Joe Jung, an Fvanston angler, set a new state record on April 29 when he caught a 24-pound Chin­ ook. He landed it while fishing from the Chicago lake shore at Foster avenue. This fish may have been released as a juvenile a few years ago by the State of Michigan." A m e r i c a n o i l c o m p a n y spokesman, Richard F. New­ man, speaking before the Na­ tional Engineers' Week Banquet in Fort Wayne, Ind., said his company has been studying wa­ ter pollution for 50 years and air pollution for 20 years, but hopes the federal government will "wait until the results are in" before imposing stringent anti-pollution controls on the petroleum industry. Slogan seen on a marquee: PRESERVE WILDLIFE! (Throw a party every night) by Bert Hagemann The Warrior hitting slump extended itself into regional play this last Tuesday as the si­ lent orange and black bats could manage only one hit as Elgin defeated us 4-2. Although the Warriors threatened repeated­ ly against flame-throwing right hander DeMay, the clutch hit was once again lacking. How­ ever, the hard hitting Maroons mauled Warrior pitching for nine hits and four walks as they broke in front with a run in the second, added two in the fifth on a home run by Manic, and tallied once more in the sixth to produce an insurmountable lead. The Warriors tallied their two runs in the sixth on two walks, a sacrifice, and a ques­ tionable error call to left by Chris Long. Although the Warriors play­ ed their usual fine game afield, the strangely silent bats are the story of the game. McHen­ ry struck some hot shots off DeMay, but fine fielding by the Maroons turned them into outs, giving DeMay his fifth win of the season. The next games for the Warriors are a pair of conference tilts this Saturday against the red hot Zee Bees, and then the season finale a- gainst Crystal Lake next Tues­ day at McCracken field. We still have the shot at confer­ ence laurels, so why not give this fine team a look-see as they wrap up one of the most successful seasons in Warrior baseball history.

In the event, Brad placed fifth, and well un­ der the 9:47.0 standard set for qualifiers in the state finals who did not place first or sec­ ond in tiieir prospective dis­ tricts. Pictor's time in the dis­ trict meet ranks him in the top fourteen two milers in the state as well as giving McHenry its first state qualifier in almost ten years. Coach Scott feels that Brad is one of the best two-milers in this part of the state and because of his out­ standing showing in one of the state's toughest districts feels that he could place higher in the finals. Brad led McHenry's cross­ country team to two undefeat­ ed seasons as well as being McIIenry's number one two- miler. Coach Scott's comment about Pictor was that he feels that Brad is well deserving of his praise as well as the op­ portunity to run in finals of the state track meet, and that he not only is a fine young ath­ lete but a fine young man whom he wishes and feels will do well in representing McHenry Sat­ urday. Not much news on local teams, but a card came in with information that the Eagles ed­ ged the Bluebirds 11-10 in the Minor group. FrSund took hitting honors with 3 for 4. Bender was the winning pit­ cher, hurling 6 innings, and won the ball game with a hit in a bases loaded situation and 1 out in the bottom of the 6th. ^ClUl NEWS QUEEN BEES The Queen Bees decided to go over to our leader's house for lunch on June 17. Lunch will be served at 11, then we will go horseback riding and get back about 3:30. A month or so ago, we de­ cided to sell candy.

Queen Bees Club reporter Dear Earl: As the State Chairman for the National American Pro-Youth Golf Classic, I wish to an­ nounce to the McHenry Plain- dealer that the Illinois Inde­ pendent Insurance Agents are joining with the National Asso­ ciation of Independent Insurance Agents in sponsoring the sec­ ond annual American Pro-Youth golf classic. The tournament consists of three levels of play: a local tournament, a state tournament and finally, the national tour­ nament. There are local tour­ naments being held throughout the entire State of Illinois in­ cluding sites in the Chicago area of Aurora, Joliet, McHen­ ry and Rockford, and also in­ cluding such locations across the state as Danville, Jackson­ ville, Centralia, Rock Island and Peoria, plus others. Fol­ lowing the local tournament, I, as state chairman, will invite the top four or five boys from each local tournament to play in the state tournament which will be held at the McHenry Country club in McHenry. The state tournament will consist of 36 holes of medal play golf held on July 23 and 24 and will include a banquet on the eve­ ning of July 23 at which time Chicago Bull stars, Jerry Sloan and Bobby Weiss, will be key­ note speakers. Following the state tour­ nament the top four or five finishers will then be invited to play in the national tour­ nament which is going to be held at the Twin Oaks Country club in Oklahoma City, Okla. The national tournament will com­ prise 72 holes of medal play golf with 144 boys from through­ out the United States including Hawaii And will be held from Aug. 14 through the 18. In the national tournament there will be a 36-hole cut at which time each threesome of boys will be joined by a professional golfer such as Tommy Weiskopf, Bob Lunn, Julius Boros, Gay Brew­ er, Miller Barber, Lionel He- bert, Johnny Pott, Ken Venturi and many others for the final 36 holes of golf. The profes­ sionals will be playing for an individual prize purse while the junior golfers will be play­ ing for winning amateur tro­ phies and team amateur tro­ phies. The entire tournament meets the approval of the USGA, the NCAA, the AAU and the Illinois High School Athletic associa­ tion. It is the hope of the National Agents association that this tournament becomes one of the finest and most prestigious jun­ ior golf tournaments in the country. The tournament is open to any boy who will not turn 18 on or before Aug. 13, mid­ night, 1970. While the tourna­ ment is medal play scratch, any boy regardless of handicap should not let this opportunity pass him by.

How­ ever, the North Chicago match was played as scheduled. The MCHS team beat North Chi­ cago 169-173, with Jim Mi- chles leading the way with a one over par 36. Other McHenry scores were Steve Fain 42, Nelson Adams 45 and Dave Wat- kins 46. The team did not do as well the following day when El- gin-Larkin came to McHenry and beat the McHenry boys 179 - 170. Jim Michels was low with a 39. The team record stands at 10 wins and 3 losses. This week the team has four matches scheduled, followed by the conference meet which will be held here at the McHenry Country club on Tuesday, May 26. This should be a close tournament as the teams are pretty evely matched. Bar- rington, Crystal Lake, Mc­ Henry, Libertyville or Zion Benton could be winner. ta Day activities in the park.- Jack Thomas, Harvey Ahitow and John Lawrence agreed to build backboards along the center fence on the West cam-" pus courts. Bob Snyder and Frank Johnson will complete a glassed-in bulletin board and install it on the courts. These two projects are being donated to the school courts by the Mc­ Henry Tennis club. Jack Thomas presented the new min­ utes published by the United States Lawn Tennis associa­ tion. In the minutes, they list­ ed all tournaments to be play­ ed in the Northern Illinois ar­ ea. The McHenry Labor pay tournament is listed on this pro­ gram. The MTC has paid the annual dues to the Northern Illinois Tennis association and in turn, this makes the local c^ub a member of the U.S.L.T.A. Now McHenry will be known far and wide as having an establish­ ed, active tennis club. An invitation has been extend­ ed to the high school tennis team and to all high school and college students to join the Mc­ Henry club at a new student rate. This will give them a chance to improve their game by playing with some of the best players in McHenry county. The M.T.C. officers wish to stress that the club is not just for the intermediate and ad­ vanced players but also for the beginning players. Some of the members have played in district and state tournaments and are very willing and able to help beginning, as well as interme­ diate players with their game if asked.
