Suddenly, the bey in the foreground standi to reel in a catch, and both look in amazement at the little fish that disturbed their afternoon snooze. STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD Hold 'Donkey Baseball' Game In Spring Grove Wilder than a rodeo and funnier than a circus! Plenty of hilarious action and a good crowd are expected at the second annual ck/nkey baseball game between the Richmond- Burton JayCeettes and the Spring Grove Sno-Grovers. All local riders will make up the teams that will provide the entertainment June 19 at 2 p.m. at the Spring Grove Fair grounds. Advance ticket sales indicate a large crowd will be on had for the wildest of shows, and tickets will be on sale until the day of the game. Tickets will be sold at the gate. All children under 5 years of age will be admitted free, tickets are available from any JayCeettes member. Sno- Grovers, or from some local stores, lockets sold at the gate will go on sale one hour before the game. The talented and sport- sminded animals are from the Buckeye Donkey Ball of Columbus, Ohio, and all of them know their way around the baseball diamond. Rules are necessary in all spprting contents, but since donkeys do not Tead, and the players will be too excited to remember them, the rules listed are for the benefit of the fans. 1) The team in the field uses donkeys, except for the pitcher and the catcher, who will be allowed to stand on their own feet. WANTED PEOPLE WHO ENJOY GOOD FOOD AT REASONABLE PRICES! FRIDAY SEAFOOD NITE PUBLIC ALWAYS WELCOME! SERVING 5 pm to 10 pm CARRY OUTS PISTAKEE COUNTRY CLUB 2) Infielders and outfielders must be mounted when the pitch is made. 3) There are no strikeouts or walks. The batter must hit the ball in fair territory. 4) When the batter hits the ball, he must then mount his donkey and ride around the bases. w 5) If a baserunner falls off his donkey, or if he is on the ground and does not have the reigns in his hand, he is automatically out. 6) The runner is also out if he falls off or dismounts after reaching first base. 7) When trapped, the runner must be tagged. Tagging the donkey does no good. 8) When chasing a ball, the player must lead the donkey or ride him, then must remount before throwing the ball. 9) Pitcher or catcher cannot field h^ts unless they can reach the ball from the circle. They may chase any overthrows, but must return to their normal position before throwing the ball. 10) The Buckeye Donkey Ball campany or the sponsors are not responsible for accidents to the players and spectators. Enter the park "at your own risk." 11) The game will consist of seven innings. 815 W.

The second week of the two- week Calcutta event for the ladies at McHenry Country club brought a complete change in the line-up of win­ ners Last week's leading team of Betty Phalen. Dot Freund, Betty Rode and Carol Bojger dropped to third place with accumulated scores of 212-215 for 427. Moving up to second place from third was the team of Letty Busscher, Sue Martin, Barb Leight and Betty Smith with combined scores of 214-211 for 425. And. after not eveh having made a showing the first week, the team of Floss O'Connell, Myrt Johnson, Dot Baker and Frieda Miller emerged the winners with 218- 204 for 422. Congratulations, team! One of the contributing factors had to have been Myrt's nine one-putt greens for a total of only 27 putts for the 18 holes. Also. Captain Floss' net 72 and team-mate Frieda Miller's net 74 helped put it altogether for a winning team. The weekly statistics of Low Net and Low Putts found Floss O'Connell's net of 72 low in Class A with putts in the same class being tied at 30 each by Judy Smithson, Anna Johnson and Floss O'Connell. In Class B Carla Wright had low net of 71 and Myrt Johnson low putts of 27 Barb Leight in Class C had low net of 72 and Jean Napier had 32 for low putts. In Class D Frieda Miller's net 74 was low while Betty Wayman rolled in 30 putts for low putts. The day was a balmy one and the ladies took advantage of it, many of them shooting nice, steady golf. The one unhappy event to be reported was Carol Bolger's shot on No. 15 which felled a squirrel as it was scurrying across the fairway. •Sandy" award for the week goes to Carla Wright who found herself blasting out of five traps. Her spirits were lifted, though when she birdied the 415-yarder No.4. Other birdies were registered by Lynn Sch­ midt on No. 14 and Carol Cooney on No. 10 and 6. And, a little "bird" tells us that last week Elda Ecklarid birdied No. 14 but was too shy to let us know at the time. Next week will find all the gals gunning for Judy Smithson as they try to Beat the Champ; also, they will be qualifying for Match Play. Under the leadership of Mil Leisten the traveling team is currently in first place in In- tersuburban Team Play with 185 points to date. They are followed by Winnetka with 183, Lake Bluff with 1724, Foss Park with 159, Brae Loch with 152, Buffalo Grove with 1484, Sunset Valley with 148 and Fort Sheridan with 148. This Friday the McHenry team will travel to Buffalo Grove where they hope to garner enough points to retain tneir lead. 'Til next time, Happy Golfing! Liz voiff R!

EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR RECYCLING DAY The League of Women Voters (McHenry-Woodstock) will cooperate with the McHenry County Defenders in handling paper, glass, cans and aluminum from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 18. The site in McHenry is the Market Place shopping center on Route 120. For additional information, contact Mrs. William (Alice) Howenstine. The grapevine tells us that Don Doherty is headed for big time tennis. He has developed a trick shot, backing up, falling on his back - then whacking the ball from a horizontal position. It isn't easy. A farm magazine tells that hay is selling for 92 dollars a ton. That ain't hay! Riding along country roads and seeing all that good grass grow into June grass makes us think of the days when we "minded" cows along the road so they could fill up on that juicy grass. Of course, there wasn't any traffic to disturb the bossies. Seems like many of our political leaders concern themselves with everything but inflation. If we don't have inflation ~ now, somebody must have given it a different name. From Gal way, Ireland comes a beautiful card sent by that fine Irish lad, Bob Blaney. That's a card we won't be tossing away. High on our list of favorite songs is Galway Bay. Can hardly wait to see what Bill Veeck will do before the trading deadline on Wednesday night at the hour of twelve. That the Sox need pitching help is hardly a secret. Cub pitching seems adequate if they don't wear out their prize relief man, Bruce Sutter. Batters describe Sutter's best pitch as a ball that drops off the table. Sutter has saved the Cubs plenty of times, then Gene Clines saved Sutter with a couple of catches in left field in his last outing. There is no doubt that Chuck Tanner wore out and ruined Terry Forster when he was the best relief man in the business. There is an old saying, "As long as the pitcher goes to the well, it is broken at last". Have been asked to remind you that "Joe Frett Day" is on a Friday this year, June 24. It is a day and date to remember. Dick Rabbitt, sports reporter deluxe, is supposed to be free as a bird from the sports section for the summer, but he still does us the favor of sending in some choice news. (Dick is recovering as well as can be expected from a 2-week stint at driver training). ederal and State figures tell us that unemployment has reached a low percentage, but try to tell that to some of our young students or graduates who are looking for jobs. Would like to show you my rose bushes as soon as Alvina gets them in shape. Had a rope attached to a tree limb in our back yard for the grandchildren to practice climbing dexterity. Now they want Grandpa to try it. Isn't it amazing how so many of us grew up without hearing about such things as a virus, ozone in the sky, and arthritis in the joints. Just think of the number of people who suffered from rheumatism only to learn later that it was arthritis. Of course, the pain is the same. "Have a good day" is a common parting wish these days. We know it is coming, but like it. PICKUPS: No man is self-made who unmakes others. He who boasts of being right is often left. Clearing Off The Sports Desk More than 900 former golf caddies now are attending 27 universities under the famed Evans Scholarship program - and it is a certainty they will be among the biggest boaters of the 74th Western Open championship June 23-26 at Butler National Golf club. The Western Open is the highlight of the Western Golf association's golf tournament schedule which benefits the Evans Scholars foundation initiated in 1930. Skippers . of the world's fastest sailboats will compete on Lake Michigan Aug. 15-20 in the 1977 Club Cocktails-Hobie Cat National Regatta, marking the first time the Hobie 14 National Championships will be held in the Chicago area. The event at Illinois Beach State Park, in north suburban Zion, is expected to attract 100 of the best Hobie Cat skippers from throughout the state and around the coutnry. Fans can help Muscular Dystrophy and see the pennant- contending White Sox continue their bid for the American League championship on June 27 at Comiskey Park, when the Sox meet the Seattle Mariners. "Not only will fans see a major league game and have an opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause, but they also will enjoy an evening of pre and post-game entertainment," says White Sox owner, Bill Veeck. Veeck contributed the available tickets to the M u s c u l a r D y s t r o p h y association and a large food store chain and the country's major contributor to Muscular Dystrophy. The proceeds from the gala event will go to aid the M u s c u 1 a r , ~ D y s t r o p h y association's current fund drive.
