PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. JULY 27, 1973 OOPS, there's no ball in the glove of Joe Bauml as he prepares to make the put-out at home plate. The play started when the ball thrown by Joe Bauml, pitcher for the Cards got by the catcher. Scoring is Rich Ziebel of the Orioles. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Stock Car Racing /WWWWWVWVWVW The biggest novelty of the season conies to the Waukegan Speedway this Sunday night (July 29) when Stock Car football kicks off its second season at Waukegan. A full program of late model and hobby stock cars is also on the program which starts at 8 p.m. Basically, two teams of older cars attempt to push, shove, bounce, ram and blast the football across the opponent's goal line. The 'football' will be a driver less Volkswagen beetle! Former McHenry resident, Duane Harris, driver of a super modified stock car, is back on top of the point standings of the IntersUvtes Racing Association at the New Kenosha County Speedway in Wilmot, Wis. Harris resided in McHenry when he became a champion for the first time at Wilmot in 1964. He moved to Lake Villa and won again in 1970. He was runner up in 1971 and third overall in 1972. With feature race wins so far this season at Wilmot and Lake Geneva, he leads by a comfortable margin and figures to stay on top through the rest of the season even though it will be a longer season than ever before at Wilmot. The old track doubled as a high school football field and so racing ended just after Labor Day in previous years. This year however, with the new track finally completed and just 500 yards north of the old track, racing will continue beyond the Labor Day date. Harris is tied with defending champion Johnny Reimer, Caledonia and Roger Otto, Burlington in the number of overall wins this season. Each have won six times. Saturdays are race nights at Wilmot and Sundays are race nights at the Lake Geneva Raceway. McHenry residents also active in the IRA racing include Dan Brown; Duke and Sid Norton; Bill Kelly and Dave Madsen. Espar Oja Hullabaloo has come and gone - and what a good day it was. Much imagination and hours of work by many resulted in a day enjoyed by all. The "front nine" decorations and tricky obstacles to serious golf were fun and the third hole was voted the 1st place winner (its creators -- Blaney, Barton and Roseberry) with a safari of 352 yards through deep Africa. Truly well done. Silly putting, snacks in the woods, cards, and fine food in the club house were topped off by the awarding of prizes. One great day -- and our thanks to the girls from DesPlaines for a job well done. Now we can practice hard for the upcoming championship competition in August. McHenry Country Club Most of the matches in the finals of the President's Tournament played at the club on Sunday, July 22 went right down to the wire. In class A, Ray Spiess had a fine round of 73 to defeat Ben Chelini. John Busscher shot his best round of the year to beat Herman (Dutch) Zwissler on the 17th hole in the Class B division. In class C, Bud Elbersen was just too tough for Fred Ballstaedt in a match that also ended on the 17th hole. In Class D, Doc Donnelley was 5 up on Bill Yopp at the 12th hole when Bill made his charge that fell short as Doc won on the 18th green. Bet that victory made your vacation more enjoyable, Doc. On Sunday, July 29, a one day event, the Joe Frett memorial will be held at the club. There will be four-man teams and winners will be determined by the point system. The first round of the club championships will be held at the club on Sunday, August 5. This year there will be three categories, the club cham­ pionship, the Handicap Club championship, and the Senior Handicap championship (55 years or older). As in the past, interest is highest in the club championship, where defen­ ding champion Art Jackson will be challenged by perhaps the toughest field of golfers ever to play in this event.

We have had it from all sides since the National League clobbered the American League in the annual baseball All Star game. There is no denying that the Nationals played long ball with our favorites. What happend? "Red" Winkel told Bill DeVries that the American League pitching must have been bad when Billy Williams and Ron Santo (Cubs, you know) got hits. As we see it, the Americans should have had Wilbur Wood start the game and bring in Terry Foster to finish it. But, nobody asked us for advice. EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR J father of the late Thomas P. Bolger, the druggist. He was a nice man to meet and greet. A little later we rode our pony to the fair. Frank Page was our fellow rider. One time a band of Gypsies halted us near the Schmelzer farm on Bull Valley Road. Were we scared? You bet. When our chance came, we took off like chain lightning and never ran those ponies so hard. Still later, we rode to the fair in Uncle Charlie's Model T Ford. No paved roads so we kicked up a lot of dust. Never thought we would hear so many sirens in McHenry. The fire department, rescue squad and police are busy people. Cars weren't too powerful so drivers went down Snyder's Hill on the way and came home another way to go down Mason Hill. That was using the old ^ijWggin' and maybe they were fticky enough to go to Wood­ stock and back without having a flat tire. Our mouth has been watering for some corn on the cob (buttered all over), but it doesn't seem to appear on the menu at our house. Have a suspicion that it is because we recently lost five pounds, then relaxed on the diet and gained six pounds in three days. It's a losin' fight. The County Fair opens August 1 and brings back memories. We used to work hard all summer for the chance to go to the fair. At a tender age, our whole family rode to Woodstock in a surrey and Mom packed a picnic lunch, fried chicken and the whole works. Had to start early in the morning. You couldn't trot the horses all the way. The first person our father looked for was a fellow police officer, John Bolger of Woodstock, who was always on duty at the main entrance. John Bolger was Mrs. Paul Doherty's father. Also the It Costs No More To Pick Up Your Air Tickets At Chain-0-Lakes Travel Sevice. Save Time, Phone Calls, Waiting At The Airport AND SAVE MONEY.

Our greatest thrill was having George Vogel, of Solon Mills, take us around the race horse barns and onto the track. George was a huge man who wore a black derby hat and carried a cane. He always owned and raced horses A great man under a rough ex­ terior. The County Fair didn't have all the carnival booths of later years, but was the highlight of the summer season. , One good thing about the hot days--they're getting shorter daily. * * * * Have you tried going to church and leaving your problems there each Sunday? * * * * One of the dangers of looking ahead is that we see things that never happen. The McHenry Junior Youth League closed the 1973 season with its Annual All Star day featuring games between the Mini League All Stars ( 8 and 9 year olds), the Minor League All Stars and the Major League All Stars (for boys between the ages of 9 and 12). The Mini All Star game was won by the All Stars made up of the Cubs, Indians, Yankees and Tigers, who played against the All Stars made up of the Giants, Braves, Sox and Pirates. The winning team drew first blood when Mark Fuhler of the In­ dians singled and scored on a 3 base error. The game was tied by the visiting team in the fifth inning when the Braves' Robby Mortell walked, forcing the Giants' Mike Sabatka home with the tying run. The game was won, however, by the home team in the last inning when the Indians' Jay Weber singled, driving home Tim Butler, also of the Indians, and the Yankee's Craig Slater. The winning pitcher for the vic­ torious home team was the Cub's Donnie Humphreys; the losing pitcher was Dan Long of the Braves. The second game featuring the All Stars of the Minor League ended as an All Star game of this nature should - in a 9 to 9 tie. The home team was composed of the All Stars from the Cardinals, Condors, Owls and Bluebirds, with the visitors being made up of the All Stars from the Eagles, Hawks, Falcons and Orioles The home All Stars took a commanding 9 to 5 lead by scoring 7 runs in the 3rd inning, but the visiting All Stars came up with 4 runs in the last inning to tie the game. The game was tied when the Hawks' Bob Greve singled, driving in Tony Sroka of the Falcons. The All Star games were finalized with a game between the Major League All Stars, whose home team was com­ prised of All Stars from the Owls, Eagles, Condors and Hawks, versus the visiting contingent of the Orioles, Falcons, Bluebirds and Car­ dinals. The home team emerged victorious in a hard- fought game by a final score of 6 to 4. The visitors carried a 2%) 0 lead into the 3rd inning when Tom Jablonski of the Cardinals doubled home 2 runs in the visitors half of the 2nd inning. The home team rallied in its half of the 4th inning with 4 runs when Ken Bottari of the Eagles doubled, scoring the Condors' Cliff Ray and the Owls' Kevin Moehling. The Owls' Peter Prust then drove Bottari home and later scored himself by stealing 2nd and scoring when the catcher threw the ball into center field. The visitors came back to score 2 more runs, but the home team got an in­ surance run in their half of the 5th inning and emerged vic­ torious 6 to 4. Ken Bottari of the Eagles was the winning pitcher and Bob Hansen of the Bluebirds was the lqser. Following the All Star games a giant picnic was sponsored by the Junior Youth League for the players and their families and the highly successful season was officially closed.
