. y PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1972 EARL WALSH "So you had a visit with the Hoppers -1 went to school with Lil Smith, too," said Leo Meyer. We suggested to Leo that he promote a class reunion. A few weeks ago we suggested a reunion of the class of '23. Then "Red" Winkel reminded us that there were only 12 in the class and half of them have passed away. Made us realize that it is later than we think. But, if any of our classmates read this, it would be nice to hear from them. The Walshes of North Green St., don't take vacations, preferring a day or two at a time. Last week S.I.H. got reckless. Took in a ball game on Wed­ nesday and took a boat ride Friday afternoon down the Fox River. That's the way to see the beauty of the Fox. In a car, you see only the back doors. The Fox River and Boone Creek may get riled up at times, but many towns would give much to have them. Now comes Marine-Festival Week. McHenry comes alive - at least livelier. The Chamber of Commerce members have worked hard to provide en­ tertainment for all. These things don't just happen. A few members spend many hours ing * not for themselves, > boost McHenry. So I Hear --SPORTS EDITOR J The Cubs won Friday. The Sox lost. Bill DeVries dropped in to say "Hello" Saturday morning. No more than got through the door at the Green Pearl than "Huppy" Smith had to ask if we went to the Cub game to see the game or the people. We went to see those Cub stars. Had a lot of explaining to do to Mona. She's White Sox all the way. Finally she forgave us and served food. Probably because we had our best girl with us (that Cub fan of the Gabby Hartnett era). It's terrible what our readers do to us. We hadn't planned to mention the Cubs and Sox in this issue. One of our favorite reporters, Jerry Miller, left a note asking us to mention the Men's League Softball Tournament which will be played at the V.F.W. July 21- 22-23. That league is full of action. They play for keeps, but have a lot of fun. Bavarian Haus won the championship last year. Who will win it this year? Watch and see. Leaders after the first round of low net tournament are Class A: Gladys Blair 33 net. Class B: Kathy Sanford 31 oet. Class C: Tie between Trudy Dobner 25 net and Hazel Stahlman 25 net.

Scott Belohlavy and Randy Koczar had an outstanding day defensively at third and second base. Mark Steinsdorfer was the hitting star with 3 line drive hits. Tom Knaack pitched 5 scoreless innings before he tired and 3 runs came in. Steve Stanek began pitching relief in the 6th inning to preserve the win. Wednesday the *team With some very fine major league defensive plays and a two-hit pitching effort, the Shamrocks shut out the- Elgin Brewers 4-0. In the first inning Stahlman got into trouble by walking a man and throwing the ball into center field when ^potential double-play ball was hit to him. Then there was a base hit to load the bases. With a one and two count, the next batter punched a fast falling ball toward the right field line. Tim Farr made the running catch. The runners tagged up and Farr met the challenge by throwing a perfect throw to home to complete the double- play. With men on second and third, a slow roller was hit past the mound and Stilling came over to throw the man out at first by an eyelash to get the Shamrocks out of the inning. In the second inning there was a long fly ball to center field and Steve George courageously fell under the ball to make the catch. Also in the third inning Ron Miller moved quickly to his feft to save a potential base hit. In the seventh inning the ball was hit between first and second which got past the first baseman, but Schaeffer, moving quickly to his left, reached the bail to throw out the batter to the pitcher covering. To end the inning, Tom Wench made a diving catch in right field. Although Steve Stahlman had a shacky first inning, he seemed to settle down and got the batters to pop out and hit the ball on the ground. When Elgin did hit the ball hard, it was right at the defense. Offensively John Pitzen and Tim Farr led the way. Each had a single and a double. The next home game will be on Sunday. Come out and see McHenry play ball when they meet Judson at 1:30 at A.P. Freund Field.

Issue Tips For Swimmers A swimmer needs emergency assistance -- how would you react? Don't panic - help may be as close as your car trunk. Your car's inflated spare tire will easily provide the support needed to keep a person afloat, says the Institute for Safer Laving. The endangered person may then propel himself to shore by "kicking" his feet or hanging on until help arrives. The Institute notes these important precautions: a spare tire of small diameter will not be as buoyant as a large one, and regardless of size, the tire should be inflated within a few pounds of* the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Never use the spare as a beach toy - it is heavy and rough and may cause injury. Never throw or pitch the tire from any height at a person in the water-it might knock him unconscious or severely injure him. If you can't swim, move the tire to the endangered person by^usmg a stick, pole, or oar. Never consider this device as a substitute for knowing how to swim or knowing conventional water rescue methods Two additional swimming safety reminders: the surest way to avoid drownings is to have every member of the family be a competent swimmer or wear an approved flotation device when in a boat or in the water; and never swim alone.
