Raymond's Bowl came from behind to beat Wayne's 10-5 while Rusty Nail upset Old Bridge-John's Sport Stop 11-10. The Bowl, who had swept 2 of 3 regular season games from Wayne's was never ahead until a 7-run sixth gave them a 5-run lead which held up until the final out. Wayne's Holds Early Leads Up to that point Wayne's held 1*0, 3-1 and 5-3 leads. George Cadotte was responsible for scoring the first Wayne's run when he singled after one out in the first, advanced to third on Don Prazak's angle and came in on Matt Oik s hit. Raymond's Bowl tied up the score in the bottom half of the inning on Billy Meyer's double and Myron Bentz's RBI single. < Wayne's broke the tie in the next inning as Bill Haak, Bob Buss, Ken Prazak and George Cadotte his singles. Prazak and Cadotte picked up an RBI each while Haak and Buss scored. Hie Bowl went scoreless the second through fourth innings but tied the score in the fifth when Billy Meyers hit a two out, two run homer scoring Jeff Meyers in front of him. Wayne's pushed two more runs across in the sixth to take a 5-3 lead. After two outs John DeCiccio doubled, followed by Bill Haak's RBI single. On the throw to home Haak went to third and later scored on a Bob Buss base hit. Bowl Erupts for 7 Runs Wayne's hopes for a win were crushed in the bottom of the inning as the Bowl erupted for 7 runs and a 10-5 lead. Myron Bentz reached first base on an error to lead off, went to third on Don Bentz Jr.'s single and scored on Wayne Hiller's base hit. Mike Weber singled in Don Bentz to tie the score and moments later Hiller scored on Phil Oeffling's sacrifice fly. With the Bowl in the lead for the first time in the game Rich Meyers reached base on a fielder's choice and Wayne Frantz hit a sacrifice fly to score Weber. Jeff Meyers singled in Rich Meyers and later scored on Billy Meyer's base hit. Paul Morenz singled to drive in the final run of the inning. The Bowl's Billy Meyers finished the ball game going 4 for 4 with 3 runs scored and 3 RBI's. George Cadotte had 3 hits for Wayne's. Wayne's 1 2 0 0 0 2 0-5 Raymond's 1 0 0 0 2 7, x-10 Bridge Errors Costly At Freund Field Rusty Nail Inn took the advantage of Old Bridge errors to pile up a 10-2 lead after three and one half innings and then held on "by their nails" as the Bridge scored 8 runs in the last four innings including a 5 run finale which saw the tie and go ahead runs stranded on base. Playing on a ballfield that "Bill Veeck would have been ashamed of", according to Ron Miller, the tall grass took its toll as twice the ball eluded Bridge right fielder Gary Gilpin in the first inning of play giving Rusty Nail baserunners extra bases. The extra bases helped ac­ count for 5 Nail runs in a wild first inning. Twig Miller singled and scored the initial run for Rusty Nail. Miller, the league's leading hitter in 1979, reached second on an error, moved to third on Ray Thelen's fly out and scored on Ron Miller's base hit. Cleanup batter Gary Schmitt reached base on an error and Ron Miller moved to third. John Connell singled sharply to right for an RBI and moved to third when the ball eluded the outfielder. Schmitt also scored on the error. Rich Peterson singled in Connell. Phil Greden tripled to drive in Peterson with run number five, but was stranded when the next 2 Nail batters popped out. John Connell made the score 6-0 two innings later when he tripled in Gary Schmitt who was on base with a single. Old Bridge-John's Sport Shop scored 2 runs in the third after going 3 up, 3 down in the first two innings. John Connell helped as he did a fine job covering the middle. The Nail pitcher stopped a hard grounder to nab Doug Freund leading off in the first and then caught a line smash off Joe Dehn's bat to end the inning. Miller Shines Defensively Gary Gilpin led off the third with a tremendous drive to center which Twig Miller caught on the run about 320 feet out. Steve Rohrer singled to become the Bridge's first base runner. John Pitzen smashed another deep drive to center that Miller hauled in for his second super catch of the in­ ning. With two outs Bridge pitcher Brian Miller.grounded sharply to first baseman Gary Schmitt who bobbled the ball and then threw wild to second base o»\ the attempted force out. On the play Steve Rohrer was safe but reinjured his knee and was removed from the game. Mark Dehn replaced him. Doug Freund and Tom Les hit suc­ cessive RBI singles and the Bridge closed the gap to four runs at 6-2. In the next inning the roof caved in for the Bridge as a routine fly ball was dropped and four unearned NaiU runs crossed the plate before the inning ended. Larry Jones reached second on an error after two were out and scored on Twig Miller's infield hit off the outstreched glove of Joe Dehn at shortstop. Ray Thelen singled followed by Ron Miller who hit a soft grounder up the middle which no one could handle. Twig Miller scored on the play. Gary Schmitt poked an RBI single to score Thelen. John Connell followed suit with a hit to score Ron Miller and the Nail enjoyed a 10-2 lead. Ron Lentine singled in the Bridge fourth, advanced to second on a flyout, and scored on Gary Gilpin's base hit to narrow the lead to seven. The Bridge scored twice more in the fifth when Brian Wilson led off with a single, advanced to third on Doug Freund's double and scored on a Tom Les groundout. Joe Dehn doubled to score Freund. Ray Thelen scored what proved to be the winning run in the Nail sixth when he crossed the plate on Gary Schmitt's 2- out double. Thelen had reached base on a fielder's choice. Bridge Rally Falls Short Going into the bottom of the seventh the Nail led 11-5 but once before during the regular season they held a similar lead only to see the Bridge come from behind with a last inning rally to win 19-18. Brian Wilson led off in the seventh with a base on balls. Doug Freund reached base on an error by Nail third baseman Phil Creden. Tom Les picked up his third RBI of the game with a base hit. Joe Dehn punched his second double to scored both Freund and Les. Rick Wakitsch and Ron Lentine grounded to Ron Miller, Dehn advancing to third, but Phil Kiefer doubled to keep the inning alive. Then Gary Gilpin blooped a fly to left which everyone thought was a sure out, however it dropped for a double when Ackerman could not quite reach it. Mark Dehn walked and John Pitzen stepped up to the plate with two out and two on. In the earlier game it was Pitzen who singled in the winning run with two outs in the last inning. Ag^Hi the winning run was on base with 2 outs but this time it was the Rusty Nail's turn as Ron Miller fielded Pitzen's ground ball for the final out of the game. Rusty Nail 5 0 1 4 0 1 0-1] Old Bridge 0 0 2 1 2 0 5-10 Tournament Dates If Wayne's should win their second game on Monday, Sept. 10, a third game will be played at Petersen park on Wed­ nesday, Sept. 12 A Bowl win coupled with a Nail win on Monday at A.P.

As clouds pass over, some of these are absorbed in clouds and in the same cumulonimbus cloud there can be areas of both positive and negative electrons. The first electrical dis- maps show the location and shape of hills, valleys and plains, the network of lakes, rivers and streams plus the principle works of man. Topographic maps also reveal landmarks that otherwise would remain unknown.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 12, 1929) The second largest lake in northern Illinois is now under construction and nearing completion in the basin of the Nippersink creek near Bar­ nard's Mill. Wonder Lake is actually being made, built, constructed or whatever you want to call it, and is probably one of the greatest engineering projects of its kind ever un­ dertaken in the middle west. Wonder Lake will be a reality on or about Oct. 15, when the dam will be completed and the waters of the Nippersink creek will begin to back up into its basin, a process which will probably take about 58 days to completely fill the lake for the first time.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 10, 1969) (Editor's note : This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on (he Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is „ "Coping - Being a Hospital Patient.") Many people who have the experience of being in a hospital, especially for an extended period of time, have some complaints in common. Most often heard complaints are feelings of loneliness, feeling of being ignored by the doctors or nursing staff and feeling that their personal feelings of discomfort and pain are not being attended to properly. Some patients feel that they are not getting their "money's worth"--that the hospital is a very expensive place with poor service. There are two reasons why this is not a valid com­ plaint: First, the hospital is not a hotel and there is no room service. Second, the patient is often unaware of the services that are being provided. For instance, a seemingly simple blood test drawn by a technician includes twelve Ten McHenry schools, in­ cluding eight public and two parochial, this fall welcomed 5,593 young people to classes for new record high enrollment. They are being instructed by 226 full time and twenty-four part time teachers, of which number forty-seven are new to the school system.
