t'LAlNPEAl FEW .raiBAY, MAY 23,1W> EARL WALSH* So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR- The staff in the Plain- dealer office couldn't wait for me to arrive Monday morning to show me a most unusual note. At the bottom of the copy submitted by a new con­ tributor, there was a note directing that the copy be printed as written -- no editing. If I knew the writer and his address, I would write to inform him that even big time writers are subject to editing. Writers write. Editors edit. This might be a good time to remind anybody who has not read the rules which have been printed from time to time that double spacing gives us a chance to make corrections. Another point. Write on only one sick of the sheet. There is a reason. We will be glad to furnish a pad of copy paper Copy is seldom perfect. How well I remember that Marie Yegge, proof reader deluxe, taught m? how to spell pennant. I still hear about that. At this writing, many of us have our fingers crossed as the deadline for the baseball player strike approaches. Most fans think there will be a strike. Say it isn't so. And most fans think it will be a long strike. Met Bill Bolger, a baseball man from way .back, and Ud^4)riieQy about the way some players (day the game today. Base running that is less than alert was one of the points discussed. Anybody can tta hoot. but dumb plays leave a lot to be desired. Fundamentals should be learned before they come up to the big time. There is no question in my mind that the caliber of baseball suffered when expansion took place. Big league teams now have players who belong in the minors. The only redeeming feature of expansion is that more cities can have big league representation and more players have a chance to take home bigger pay checks and enjoy a greater allowance for meals. Our sympathy went out to the umpires when they asked for (I hate the word demanded) better pay. My sympathy was not with the strike. However, figures showed the men in blue were not adequately reimbursed. Umpires pull some boo- boos, but let us not forget that they are expected to run the show when the game begins and are expected to be perfect. When we look at air' the troubles in the world- hostages, greedy invasions, race riots, volcano erup­ tions, strikes or what have you, it seems we live in a good. area. Kids nfiver say the school year will end soon. It is always school will be out. And out it will be in another week. In earlier days it meant that boys would take off their shoes for the summer. Pick­ up ball games where you chose up sides were popular. You could always get a broken bat from the town team, put in some nails and wrap it with black tape. Tape was also needed to wrap balls that were about to fall apart. Anything would serve as a base. No Little League. No supervision. Many a battle over the rules of the game. That's the way it was.

W. baOAelds Sunday, May 18. At the ceremonies pictured from left to right are Boh MorteU, president, Curtis Bremer, and Fred Meyer, founder. At the ceremonies the McHenry Junior Youth league honored the Founder of the League, Mr. Fred Meyer, by presenting him with an official McHenry Junior Youth League jacket and inducted its newest member into the Junior Youth League Hall of Fame, Mr. Curtis Bremer. The Johnsburg sophomore baseball team ended its season on a winning note by defeating Crown 2-1 and Grant 5-2 on Monday and Tuesday this week. This brought the squads final record to 9-5 for the season. Against Crown, the Crown Vikings jumped off to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Skyhawks bounced back in the bottom of the fifth with Scott Zalke singling and then stealing second. Joe Meyers singled to left, scoring Zalke and tying the score. The game proceeded to go into extra innings. In the bottom of the eighth, Dan Williams got things going for the Skyhawks with a walk. He stole second and reached third on a passed ball. Jeff Bartmann walked, and in an attempt to pick Bartmann off the ball was thrown wild and Williams scored. Against Gradt, the Skyhawks pitched a three hitter with four different pitchers in nine innings Johnsburg's Pete Barroso was the winning pitcher. The Skyhawks scored first as Tom Pieper crossed home plate in the first inning. The sophomores gained three more runs in the fifth and another in the ninth. Grant scored in the bottom of the seventh and eighth. DIVOT DOLLS Johnsburg Skyhawks Lose Final Game To North/ Boone 5-1 The Johnsburg Skyhawks lost their final game of the season Tuesday in a 5-1 contest at North Boone. The only Skyhawk run came in the first inning when center fielder Jim Boelens walked and third baseman Kurt Valentin drove him home with a dduble down the third base line. other Johnsburg bat reagi first on . base during the game were fielder Ed Koch and first baseman Tom "Doc" Fowler.

The lady Skyhawks have really started to play baseball over the last three weeks, winning 5 of 6. Defense has com­ mitted only 3 errors in that time span. Johnsburg defeated Beloit Catholic 11-4. Leading the otfense were senior Lora Jacobs (3 for 5 at the plate), * junior Sally Oeffling (2 for 3), and sophomore Ellen O'tyjalley (3 for 3). Jacobs an^r O'Malley hit back-to- back homeruns in the first inning. Everybody played as 12 .of 14 players had at least one hit. O'Malley and senior Debbie Herdrich combined to allow 6 hits and l earned run. The game against North Boone was closer than the score indicated. Johnsburg won 13-4 scoring in the last three innings. Jacobs was 4 for 4 with 2 triples and 4 RBFs. Juniors Sue Sroka (2 for 3 with 3 EBI's) and Sally Oeffling (2 for 3) and sophomore Sue Dehn (2 for 3) added batting support. Pitching wildness, 8 walks and several batters going to full counts, allowed North Boone to threaten several times during the game. Hie Skyhawks finished 4th in the Shark conference. Next game is Wednesday against Crystal Lake South in the semi-finals. Great men's faults are never small. -John Clarke. M.C.I * Coming from fourth place in last week's play, team No. 5 emerged the overall winner in the two-week Calcutta event played by the ladies of McHenry Country club. Members of that team were Castle, Smith, Schlosky, Grier and Fidler, posting a final score of 407. In second {dace with 416 was team No. 2 starring Wilkins, Bolger, Leight, Mutchinsky and Shadel. Posting 423 was team No. 9 with Overton, Mohan, Christiensen, MacDonald and Chelini. And another tie, this time for fourth and fifth place, posted- at 424, was registered by team No. 3 - Fidler, Weyland, Weber, Consago and Johnson • and team No. 8 Kinnaman, Freund, Ready, Warfield and Herrmann. Although her team made a respectable showing with the tie, Irene Kinnaman remarked shell be taking up tennis unless her golf im­ proves. Although several chip-ins were reported, only one birdie was made known to this column - that of Carolyn Harger on No.l 4, and a first for Carolyn. Of the chip-ins, that of Marcie Wakitsch was executed on No. 2 from about forty feet out from the green with no fanfare whatsoever. Martha McCrary chipped in on No. 4 the preceding week; however, since it was overlooked at the time, we mention it now. Myrt Johnson chipped-in on No. 7, Dotty Shadel on No. 11, Joan Schlosky on No. 10 and Toots Gerstad on No. 17 from the trap. Incidently, Toots has the dubious honor of earning the title of Sandy of the week. The little oddities that seen to add spice to the game came in a variety of ways this week. The drives of Dee Overton and Betty Mohan on N. 14 turned out to be Siamese twins in that they landed side by side with no space in between. Mil Hansen's frustration came on No. 8 when her drive hit the retriever lying by the creek and returned to her instead of going forward. Faye Stewart lucked out when her ball hit a rock on No. 9 and was propelled forward to the green, while Mary Mut­ chinsky on No. 10 had a slight setback when her ball crossed the creek, hit something (probably another rock) and promptly dropped back into the water.

A sour note on the Woodstock District track meet last jiji Saturday. The four Rockford schools, Guilford, East, West and Jefferson refused to cooperate with Woodstock jiji officials in providing some help to run off some of the jiji events. The Rockford schools have been mad ever since jiji two years ago, when they ran such a poor meet, that state jiji officials have taken it away from them, and placed it at jiji various other schools. They showed their true colors Saturday, and they didn't gain any support for future districts at Rockford. Condolences to the Jack Worm family.

For you people ijij who <fid not have the opportunity to meet this young lad, ijij you really missed something.

It has been a real pleasure to know ijij this fine young man, and I speak for many when we say ijij Farewell but not Goodbye. ijij And for the athletes to keep in trim this summer.

Sounds like it could be a fun i£ summer, and pay off next season with a few victories. Our apologies to Mike, the groundskeeper, if it is im­ plied that Mc.C.C. is rocky. It really isn't. A partial birdie, not scored, was reported by Mabel Smith. While she was under a tree on No. 17 (not the proper place to be) a bird left its calling card on her, probably charging Mabel With in­ vasion of privacy.

The Nifties wish to express their concern and sympathy for Lotte Koch who lost the tip of her little finger and will be unable to play for a few weeks. The travelling team started the season off right by taking six of the nine points from Bonnie Dundee when they traveled down that way last week. Here's wishing them continued good luck. On the schedule for next week is an event entitled "Do Overs" and who knows what lurks behind that thought?! 'Til then, Happy Golfing! Liz .v.w.vx -- McHENRY JUNIOR YOUTH Clearing Off The Sports Desk Golf, Illinois...The George S. May Trophy, one of the largest ip all of sports, is missing from Western Golf association headquarters and presumed stolen. The 31-inch, 28-pound silver cup, with an estimated value of $50,000, was taken from a basement storage area at WGA headquarters in Golf, a northern suburb of Chicago. Although the cup had not been seen out of its custom- built crate since last August, it is believed it was removed within the last three months.
