Mayor Joe Stanek threw the switch to light the field after a few brief comments. Earl Walsh, who had been war­ ming up all week, threw the first ball. It was a strike to Ron Miller behind the Plate! between Eastern and Western All Stars. Injuries have taken their toll this year. Besides Wayne's George Cadotte both Steve Rohrer and Gary Gilpin of John's Sport Stop- Old Bridge are out. Rohrer has a broken rib while Gilpin dislocated his shoulder.

It was a thrill to be invited to go to the pitching rubber and throw out the first pitch. Told them I had been war­ ming up for a week since the invitation. Ron Miller was behind the plate and handled my "off the table" pitch in good style. Newspapers serve many purposes. I can read a continuous story and stay awake, but give me a newspaper and, even if the articles are interesting, I drift off to slumberland. Sort of sleeping sickness. Take a newspaper to bed with you, prop up and start to read. Your head will soon be in your lap. You won't need sleeping pills. We sat with some mighty classy "fillies" while wat­ ching the Belmont race Saturday. Wow -- were they excited! It was a big letdown when their favorite, Genuine Risk, was nosed out by a mean old boy horse. But, the girls can wait. Genuine Risk is still Queen of The Fillies. When Whitey Herzog was named manager of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, local fans speculated quickly about Chuck Hiller joining him as a coach. My response is: Do ham and eggs or beer and brat- worst go together? Whenever Whitey moves, Chuck isn't far behind. Chuck is Whitey's kind of man. Believe it or not with all this rain we were able to play some ball. In the Junior division due to timely hitting and heads up defense the Toddler Shop defeated Wally's Bike Haven 33 to 7. M c H e n r y P o l i c e Association . defeated McHenry Savings and Loan 18 to 8. Manger Joyce said her team is really hitting this week. Dawn Dixon slammed a triple and double, Nancy Dierich a double, Tracy Hoffman a triple and a double and Mary Kay Winn a single. Special mention goes to their triple play. Linda Kath caught a fly ball, threw to Michelle Martinez on second who threw it to Dawn Dixon on first. On June 6, McHenry Police Association beat Europa 17 to 2. Even - got on base that day but special mentions go to Mary Kay Winn for her double and Jenny Eagon for her single. Catcher Linda Kath and outfielder Michelle Martinez teamed up for a nice double play. Don's Dairy Frost has really been scoring high this week. Although they have not won as many as they would have liked, manager Jim tells me his girls are really hitting up a storm. Adam's Bros. Steel managed by Mary Ann Knaack is thus far un­ defeated. She reports that her team has really been playing some super ball. During their game against Don's Dairy, pitcher Kim Smith hit two homeruns and was pitching a fantastic game until she ripped open her finger. Sheri Knaack finished pitching for her. Fine hitting also came from Stacy Schillaci (three doubles and one triple), Jackie Boger (two doubles) and Sherri Knaack (a double). On June 7 Adams Bros. Steel beat State Farm 13 to 9. Doubles were hit by Kim Hill, Debbie KJeUsch, Stacy Schillad, Romono Gregorio and Sherri Knaack Kim Smith and Julie Kurawsfci were each three for three Karen Aidrkh Remember way back when if you had a five dollar bill in your pocket you were sitting pretty. It would buy more groceries than you could carry. It would also take you out on a date with money to spare.

Just put my slippers in front of that big chair in the corner. Blackburn, Talaga Provide Batting Strength Pete Blackburn led Second Federal Savings with a perfect three for three and Gary Talaga slammed a double and 3-run homer to provde the power in their 18- 11 win over Wayne's. John Wilkinson also had three hits including a double while Don Rode, Jim LeCane and Steve Lane all scored tht;ee runs with two hits. Bill Lomas and Scott Kriz added two hits each.

Scott Stull and Bill Haak had two hits and two runs scored each. George Cadotte homered inside the park before leaving the game with a broken finger. Dehn, Freund. Ludwig Batting Leaders Joe Dehn, Greg Freund Sunday will also be the deadline for major league trades. With an abundance of pitchers and outfielders, the Sox should be able to get some help for the infield. American Legion Loses First Game is set for Friday, June 20th. We will be in Milwaukee that night (an ordination - not a ballgame) so will have to look forward to next year to join the crowd to celebrate the memory of our friend Joe. Maybe I should remind you to make your reser­ vations for golf and dinner. They always have a big crowd. If the Cubs would just listen, they would back up the truck and make some changes. If you are going to lose with super starts, why not lose without them? The McHenry American Legion home opener Tuesday night was typical of most early season baseball games; pitching dominated the hitting. For McHenry pitcher Joe Bellich, his five--hit per­ formance was not enough to keep Genoa from bunting its way to a 2-0 victory at Mc- Craken field. After striking out five Genoa batters in the first two scorless innings, Bellich gave up the two runs of the game in the top of the third when Genoa's Don Mathey tripled to left center field after one out. McCuDoch followed with a perfect suicide squeeze toward third base. Mathey sewed from third as McCulloch was thrown out at first. A single between short and third, and a lost-in-the-sun double over left fielder Mike Dillon's head scored the second Genoa run. After the third inning, Bellich calmed the Genoa bats down and ended the game with 12 strikeouts, a personal high. Genoa pitcher Dave Clark however, gave up only four hits and fanned 16 McHenry batters. A wasted bunt single by catcher Ken Hoff, two singles by third baseman Kurt Valentin and a single by Gregg Mc- Pherron was all McHenry could muster.
