EARL WALSH I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ According to plans, we may have to be satisfied with a male chauffeur next Sunday. Anyhow, we plan to join the crowd to see the battle for the Club Championship next Sunday. Dear Mr. Walsh, Lately, much has been said about men's softball, but the women in the area deserve credit, too. Brake Parts Company sponsored a women's softball team and for our first time in the league we did great. With only one more game to play, we not only hold the championship, but also an undefeated record. Three of the thirteen vic­ tories were shutouts. We scored a total of 294 runs while only allowing 66 runs against us. I'd like to see a professional team do as well. Maybe I'm bragging but with a great team, I think I, and anyone else who is on it, has the right to brag. Sure. You have a right to brag. But, why didn't you sign your name? There are certain types of letters that we won't print unless signed, but yours isn't one of those kind. liliiiiiimiiiiiiHiiiiimiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiHi. Northern lllini Bowmen News IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM The Jack Perry Memorial Broadhead shoot attracted 66 hunters, competing for trophies at the recent Northern lllini Bowmen archery shoot. The two coveted Traveling Trophies were won by Bill Yessa of Hillside scoring a 355 in free style and John Zawaski of Oak Park, a local club member, shooting 350 in barebow. Beside the above, first places deer head trophies in their respective classes were taken by Lyle Trumble, Joe Kozial, William Gift, Jean Bird, Shirl , Heffernan, Betty Chalfont, Charlotte Kumm and youths Rex Sommer and Keith An­ derson . Second place bear head plaques were won by Scott Gates, Bob Wartenberg, Robert Turner, Oscar Sommer, - George Smith, Irene Trumble, Ardene Raven, Rose Eady and vouth Jeff Raven. The archery club will hold a dance for members and their guests on Sept. 11 at Casey's on River Road, 5 miles south of McHenry. This is in the form of an appreciation dance to relax after a heavy work schedule this past summer. Club Shoot Sunday, Sept. 5. Thursday, Sept. 16 Northern lllini Bowmen will hold a Bowhunting Clinic in the place of their regular September meeting. The time is 8 p.m. at the McHenry American Legion hall. The public is invited. The men send in reports on their games. Why not have the girls do the same? Send 'em in. We wouldn't think of neglecting the girls. Congratulations on your championship. Heaven has to be a sweeter place. We have no right to judge, but Ethel Jones left this world -- and there is no other place for a dear lady like her. In her many years in her Agatha gift shop, Ethel Jones fit into the picture like the most fragile looking, but most" durable piece of chinaware in the shop. We sat next to Philip Thennes during the funeral service. He whispered, "I had a lot of respect for that woman". That just about tells the story of Ethel Jones' life. Her con­ duct brought respect from young and old. It would take a large book to list her many friends. She was loved by many -and liked by all. Like a snowball rolling down hill, the crowd watching the Club Championship at McHenry Country Club last Sunday grew and grew. It was Champion Art Jackson trying to ward off former Champ Ed Buss. After 36 holes those two great competitors were tied. After 18 more holes last Sunday, Busse had a two stroke lead. In spite of a great display of how to play the game, both They're the only products your pool ever needs. Come in and ask us about them. What happens when you're offered $18,000 for your $24,200 pile of ashes? You take it i f you haven't increased your home insurance to keep pace with inflation. This is the kind of problem you could face if you bought and insured your home for $18,000 in 1963. See me to find out if your home is insured for its full value. I'll tell you about a low-cost State Farm Homeowners Policy that will insure your home for all it's worth . . . and keep it that way with automatic Inflation Coverage.

Eddie Buss, who is never satisfied with his game, was telling after the match that his putting was "lousy". Gary Adams, in the final foursome, retorted, "I wish my putting was lousy like yours". Warren Weber was very thoughtful. Not only did he allow us to ride in his cart, but provided a chauffeur ( his wife, Barb). Leo Heimer phoned for his sister, Annabel Aicher, to tell us that motto "Grandma" wrote about last week hung on Dr. Aicher's office wall for many years. We sat in the chair many times and should have remembered. A great fellow was Dr. Aicher. He left this earth way too soon. Barb knows her way around the course and parked us in the shade at every tee. We had a real nice time, thank you! We worried about Joe Frett walking even though he said it was good for him. Later we saw Joe driving Vale Adams' cart. You didn't see "Schmaltz" Miller walking. No sir! 1. Pro-Circle 23 2. Korpans Landing 20 3. Mag-Val Construction 16V2 4.

The young Tigers are inviting the old timers out to display their skills and also to do some reminiscing with their old teammates. The game is scheduled to begin at 2:00 at Johnsburg Memorial field. It should be an interesting af­ ternoon for fans of all ages to see these oldtime favorites back in uniform. The Tigers have not been able to get in contact with all the old timers, so it is hoped that those players heading this article will make every effort to attend and hopefully pass the word to former teammates they are in contact with. The players and their families are also invited to reftiain after the game and enjoy that all time favorite Johnsburg refreshment which will be served. This day cannot be a success without the cooperation of everyone in­ volved. Please plan to attend. The oldtimers who would like further information about the game and activities should call Lloyd Freund. Notify Lloyd if you plan to attend and we will matches by 10 strokes but the other half of the team carried tl am through with a 33 stroke pad, giving them 1V2 points of the possible 2.

Rumor has it that Willie Klapperich has been secretly working on his sinker all summer. Plan on coming out to see this enjoyable afternoon of en­ tertainment. By Liz Nolan In the recent tenth annual Northern Illinois Women's Golf Association tournament held at Midwest Country club, six of McHenry's fine lady golfers did both themselves and their club proud by bringing home many of the honors and trophies. Participating in the very dif­ ficult Championship Flight were Laurayne Conway and Marilyn Bishoff. Competing with contestants from all over the state, Laurayne had a playoff for third place for the two-day event. In third flight Alvina Yopp walked away with first place while Floss O'Connell placed third in the same flight. In Fourth Flight capturing first place was our own Dee Overton while Nell Fidler, competing for the first time, placed ninth. Established ten years ago as a handicap tournament, N.I.W.G.A. has grown in popularity and size each year and in the past several tour­ naments has had to limit its field to 140 women, each year filling its capacity. Three years ago in memory of its founder, the board of N.I.W.G.A. established the Mary Killinger Award. A traveling trophy, this award is presented to the contestant who shoots the low net over the entire field for the two-day event. Last year Millie Leisten brought the trophy back to McHenry and this year finds it again in McHenry, being won by Alvina Yopp. Under stiff competition the McHenry gals have what it takes and continue to bring honors to themselves and their club. Congratulations to all the gals for their fine golfing! BASEBALL * * * BY PETE FRITCHIE Washington, D.C. -- In watch­ ing the year's flag chase, sev­ eral teams are obviously 6trong in youngsters, could be powers in years to come. In the Na­ tional League, though they've gone nowhere, the Phillies look like a club with potential. Maybe it's the new enthusi­ asm of the club and fans in a fine new park, where attend­ ance is far ahead of last year. But it's also the young talent* on the club, almost certain to mean an improving team. In the American League the Chicago White Sox appear a comer. Young Bill Melton, now leading the league in homers, could be a superstar. The Sox h a v e g o o d y o u n g p i t c h e r s , hustle and desire. When the Chisox topped the Grapefruit League race in Florida this spring, many said it didn't mean anything. That appeared to be true for a time, as the young club stumbled underpressure. But it has come on strong again, and now is an impressive young ball team. Next year the Sox could well get into the pennant race in the western division; Oakland may not get off to such a start again in 1972. Extinct Australian kangaroos were as large as a horse.
