Big Red Machine Keeps Rolling Along By Jerry Miller How do you defeat a team that collects 15 runs on 14 hits in one inning You'd have to say it is rather almost impossible. Well that's just what Het- termann's did on Thursday night against Jake's. Lloyd Smith had 4 doubles Myron Bentz also had 4 hits, and Wayne Hiller backed them up with 2 home runs and 8 RBl's. In all, Hettermann's collected and bundled up 26 hits For the losing team, Jake's, D Weber went 3 for 3. but his hits didn't seem to make up the dif­ ference Following that ball game, everyone witnessed a big rivalry between Old Bridge and Mer's Beach Old Bridge squeaked by Mer's 13 to It IV Morenz swung the big bat for Old Bridge as he went 4 for 4, including a long home run in the seventh inning B Pusateri had three hits for Mer's On Tuesday, Carl s beat Harmony Resort 12 to <> This was Carl's second win of the year, both wins coming against Harmony B Meyer fattened up his batting average by going 4 for 4 B DeCicco, and B Klapperich had 3 and 2 hits respectively for Harmony In the second game, Dog House beat Homan's 1(1 to 10. In the seventh inning a disputed c all arose on a half swing hit to left field The batter was ruled out. and an argument came to life The game is under protest and a league meeting has been called. As this writer sees it, the protest looks like it will go through and the game will be resumed in the seventh inning where it was when the call was made Nothing to do?

We don't mind seeing a young fellow come up to win, but class will tell. Palmer has that class.. Florian is still a White Sox fan even though he doesn't get their games on TV out in the State of Washington. The fight is over and Ali won in the last round on a TKO. Ellis seems to be too big for the light heavyweights. We got the idea that there aren't any Dempseys or Marcianos around these days. The fight is now in the ninth round and our radio seems to work better if we hold one hand on it With a pen in one hand, it is a problem s^uking a cigar. More trouble tmm a one-armed, paper hanger Maybe we should turn to the typewriter and peck away. Florian Schmitt (the late Math N. Schmitt's son) came back to the old home town last week and brought his 20-year old son, Greg, in to say hello. RAIN-- We like rain, but at night when our snoring has hit its peak. We like the freshness after a good rain. It's a good bath for everything. We like to drive in the rain. We used to like to drive a horse (or a pony) in the rain. Can hear those hoof beats in the soaked roadway. And, did you ever take a nap in a hay mow as the rain pelted the roof? When we were kids, our mother and father used to sit on the back porch and thank the I^ord for sending a rain that would do so much good. When the rain stopped, we took off our shoes and stockings and ran through the wet grass like young colts. Let it rain -- nice and steady. Jim Wiser picked a bushel or more of sweet corn from his back forty. First we had this season. Joe Diedrich sampled an ear then tookover the butter brush department. Glenn Peterson furnished a portable TV that was a dandy. After the Cub fans faded away, we turned on the Sox. The fact that the Sox won a double header made it a real picnic. Then, we got to watching the Johnsburg Tigers Split And Plan Tournament Once again the Johnsburg Tigers split their weekend games-defeating Evanston 4-2, then losing to Glen Ellyn 6-3. Against Evanston it was a combination of strong pitching by Tim Freund and some timely hitting that resulted in the victory. Freund went the distance in mowing down the Evanston batters. The Tigers scored all their runs in the second inning as Mike Freund led with a double. This was followed by two walks and a clutch single by Tom Hurckes. Hurckes and Dave Klapperich then executed a double steal of home for another run. The final tally came across on Harry May's sacrifice fly. Then despite some shaky moments in the field, the Tigers managed to hang on for a victory. The following day Johnsburg failed to hit again and dropped a 6-3 decision to Glen Ellyn. The only player who was able to get more than one hit was Mike Freund, who had a double and single. Steve Stahlman, making his first start in more than a month, pitched well, but took the loss while pitching six in­ nings. Altogether, it was a very lackluster performance by the Tigers. TOURNAMENT TIME: ' Once again Johnsburg and McHenry will act as co-hosts of the State Amateur District Tournament. The tournament lasts two weekends, and gets underway this Saturday, July 31.

May-Val Construction is trying to get out of the cellar by taking 1V2 points from Korpans Landing. The league has played 15 of its 24 matches with only 9 weeks left to go. Thirteen out of the fifteen Pro Circle has held 1st place and will try to lengthen their lead as much as possible the remaining few weeks. So far the die hard golfers have played in almost all kinds of adverse weather conditions, Sunday making it complete by playing in dense fog for the first four holes. However, it didn't make any difference to Jim Jackson who shot a low gross of 77. Last week Pro-Circle had low team net of 274 to win golf balls. This week May-Val had a 286 to take the balls for the week. < •: * GOING FISHIN' . . . Sgt Dennie Day slips one of his fishing poles from a handy rod holder he has mounted on his motorcycle.
