What does grandpa do when a couple of grandchildren ask him to go to the West Campus pool to watch them swim? He goes along. The pool looked crowded to me. but our varsity coach, Mike Shanahan, said, "You should have been here yesterday". Like many other taxpayers, I am convinced that money should be accumulated for a public pool. Beaches are a thing of the past. They are closed by the health depart­ ment most of the time. Seemed like most of those kids spent their time diving or jumping in the water, then crawling out again. They like the splash. One thing they didn't tell me in advance was that I had to take off my shoes and socks, roll up my pant legs and wade through the disinfected water before entering the pool area. It was hot in there so I got a steam bath. With a hundred or more kids hollering, I decided a Sunday night at Bimbo's was like a rest haven by comparison. m wm hnsburg Tigers in Two Straight Jfter dropping sefven of their fiiB eight games, the John- stft-g Tigers ^ave finally tdKed things around by win­ ning their last two games to kt their record to 3 wins, 7 l c _ irly in the season, the Tife-slostthree dtraffleheaders. The three Johnsburg wins have come against Waukegan, Island Lake and Wheeling. Bad baserunning and sloppy fielding have hampered the Tigers, who as a team are hitting at a .304 clip, with seven players batting over .300. First baseman Bill Meyers leads the team with a .466 average, followed by Steve George and Joel Wakitsch at .438. Lee Frick at .333, Mike Janik at .321, Mike Rogers at .313, and Gary Rosing at .307 round out the .300 club. HOMEOWNER'S Notd Concr«t« for Patios, Sidewalks, Driveways. Call Accu-Crete Inc.

Johnny Miller picked up victories in both games, Against Island Lake, Miller allowed only one hit, a first inning triple over the head of left fielder John Meyers. A run scored on the triple and Island Lake took an early lead. Johnsburg waited until the fourth inning to match Island Lake's run. Bill Meyers flied out to open the inning, but Gary Rosing doubled down the left field line. John Meyers reached on a walk and third baseman Tony Christy singled to score Rosing and move Meyers to third. Designated hitter Randy Blazier then hit a sacrifice fly to score Meyers with what later proved to be the winning run. The Tigers collected three insurance runs in the fifth in­ ning and totaled eleven hits for the game to back the fine pit­ ching of Miller. Joel Wakitsch collected three hits while Steve Mai and Bill Meyers each had two hits to pace the Tigers. The Tigers play three away games before returning home to Johnsburg on July 8 to play North Chicago at 5 p.m. The Tigers then host Gurnee on July 13 at 6 p.m. at Tiger Diamond in Johnsburg.

STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD 16-Inch League Names All Stars The McHenry Men's 16-Inch Softball league announced its all-star team Monday night and determined that the league all- stars would play Fox Hole in a game July 7. The league managers voted ' to allow Fox Hole to play the all-stars although Hautzinger Concrete is tied for first place with an identical 6 win, 1 loss record. Hautzinger also defeated Fox Hole in head-to-head com­ petition June 22. Old Bridge Softball club placed four players on the starting all star team. Out­ fielders Joe Dehn and Tom Les, First baseman Rick Wakitsch and pitcher Greg Freund were named to the first team. Dehn is presently tied for the league lead in hitting with a .556 mark followed closely by Wakitsch at .552. Freund is hitting 476 and Les is batting at a 444 clip and leading the league in runs scored. Also named to the starting lineup were catcher Jerry Brodin and third baseman Vern Peterson of Hautzinger Con­ crete. Brodin is batting .476 and Peterson .480. Second baseman Twig Miller, short centerfielder Dick Meyers, and outfielder Dick Kazlausky of Fox Hole also earned starting berths on the team. Kazlausky is tied for the league lead in hitting with a .556 mark, Meyers is hitting .538 and leading the league in RBI's, and Miller is batting .420 Shortstop Chuck Marke of Coppermine rounds out the starting all star team. Marke was hitting .500 at the time of the voting. Because Fox Hole will be playing the all-stars, three players were chosen to replace the Fox Hole players in the starting all-star lineup. Wayne Hiller from John­ sburg tavern, a .526 hitter, will start at short centerfield; Ted Freund, also from Johnsburg and batting .500, will start at - second base: and, Dan Mjti&r, a .375 hitter from Hiller can? struction will start , the outfield. Other players named to the team include Ron Miller of Old Bridge, a .423 hitter; Darrell Anderson of Town Pump, a .500 hitter; Paul Morenz of Haut­ zinger, a 333 hitter: Tom Hurkes of Fox Hole, batting .423; Bob Fowler of Sunnyside Inn, a .500 hitter; Jim Meyers of Johnsburg, a .320 hitter; and Myron Bentz of Johnsburg, a .368 hitter. Although the all-star team is supposed to be based on / achievements of this year, it is apparent that some league managers voted players onto the team based on their per­ formances vin previous years. The managers selected Meyers *>as back-up pitcher* although he has yet to start a game at pitcher yet this year and is batting only .320 while playing the outfield. Fowler from Sunnyside, has pitched all year and is batting .500, and was named to the team as a catcher. Overlooked in the balloting for pitchers was Dave Oeffling of Coppermine, Oeffling is enjoying his finest season at the plate, batting .467, fourteenth in the league, and yet was not chosen for the team. Pitcher Bernie Klapprich of Hautzinger v was also overlooked although he is batting .375 and has pitched his team into a tie for first place. First baseman Marty Con­ way was also neglected in the ballotting.~:Conway is the second highest hitting first baseman in the league behind Wakitsch at .420 and was not recognized as an all star. Doug Freund of Old Bridge is another forgotten star. Presently batting .429, Freund was overlooked for two other outfielders with less impressive statistics Randy Thiel of Fox Hole is another outfielder overlooked by the managers selecting the team. Thiel is currently batting 400 DIVOT DOLLS M.C.C. Before reporting the results of the second round of Ladies' Match Play at McHenry Country Club a correction of last week's results is in order. Due to a computation error it was erroneously reported that in Class B Irene Kinneman had defeated Floss Miller. The reverse was true and apologies are extended by the computer. Threatening clouds lifted early in the morning Tuesday the 27th and gave way to sunshine and high tem­ peratures as a number of matches developed into ex­ citing finishes. In Class A Alvina Yopp and Letty Busscher were tied at the end of 18 and had to go down the first fairway a second time before A * OPEN Monday, July 3 Cocktail lounge- Noon Sandwiches Available Serving Dinner from 5:30 •SPECIAL FOX BOATERSIH Our Cocktail Lounge will open at Noon Saturdays • Sandwiches win be available.• GRgSCENT cBAY~ ®LANPIN£ 3309*. CtaMl Hill M., McHtnij 385-8899 Alvina emerged the victor in that match. The match between Nell Fidler and Liz Nolan appeared to be a tight see-saw until the turn when Nell picked up four holes in a row and Liz never recovered. Nell won the match. Floss O'Connell gave Carol Cooney a good run but dropped the match toward the end of the 18 holes and Carol won that one. In the match between Mil Leisten and Dee Overton Mil took the upper hand early in the game only to have Dee come back for a near upset. However, Mil won the match one up. Another extra-hole match took place - in Class B. It was Floss Miller and Char Zwissler going down fairway one for the second time to have Floss emerge the winner. Also in Class B Mabel Smith downed Evie Guntner while Sue Martin 4-upped Betty Mohan. Class C also produced an extra-hole match. That one was between Betty Smith and Fran Weyland, finding Betty the winner. Also in Class C it was Phyllis Bird over Ethel Koehler, Virginia Spengel over Jackie Victor and Dorothy Christiansen over Barbara Leight. In Class D it was Linda Watson over Freida Miller, Mary Mutchinsky over Carol Bolger, Sue Jackson over Linda Puccio and Fran Herrmann over Beth Jemiolia. Weekly regular events show Carol Cooney had low net of 74 in Class A and Dee Overton had low putts of 30 in the same class. In Class B Sue Martin shot low net of 73 while Dot Freund and Caroline Harger shared the honor of low putts with 32 each. In Class C Elda Eckland had low net of 76 and also low putts of 30. In Class D it was up and coming Sue Jackson with low net of 71 and Rita Sayler with low putts of 34. Two birdies were reported for the day. Sue Martin birdied no. 1 and Dot Christiansen birdied no. 18. And, the three chip-ins reported were by Rifti Sayler on no. 10, Bernice Dolce on no. 8 and Mil Leisten on no.7 for par. That about wraps it up for the nonce. With next Tuesday being Uncle Sam's Birthday and ladies will be taking the day off and Match Play will resume the following week. Hence, no report will be forthcoming 'til after the Uth. 'Til then Happy Golfing!

Being unable to use the many group pictures sent in, a decision was made to discon­ tinue all league groups except championship teams. Pictures takes by our staff photographers of athletes on the high school level wiN be selected as to their importan­ ce. Individual pictures of various sports will be appraised as to their newsworthy value and available space. It was a flood of group pic­ tures last year that made this decision by the management necessary.
