The home, now occupied as Nature's Cornucopia, was one of the finest ever built in McHenry. We can find it in McHenry history books, but not the date. Any ideas? It was down to the depths, then up to the point of ecstasy for both Cub and Sox fans-on Monday. In the afternoon, the Cubs blew a 7-0 lead into a 7-7 tie, then saw Larry Bittner power a homer into the stands with a man aboard in the eighth. That one stood up for a victory. Day in and day out, Bittner has been a strong link in the chain of Cub victories.

When you can field 9 players to start a game and have a roster of eighteen it is hard to believe any team, despite summer vacations, will have a problem in fielding a team. Despite a schedule in which teams play only on Wednesdays a team tied for first forfeited to the last place team because only eight players showed up. Another team had to literally call up and beg a couple of players to suit up just to have 10 players. For whatever reason other than medical, especially the "I Don't care" attitude or some of the other selfish motives it certainly places a 'dent' in the 1977 McHenry Area 12-Inch Softball season. .
