/ PAGE S-PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 13, I960 Plaindealer In 12" East Foxhole Clinches First Foxhole Tap wrapped up first place in Twelve Inch Eastern division play as they defeated Wayne's 9-3 before rain halted play after six innings. Holding a 13-0 record with only 3 games remaining until post season playoffs begin, Foxhole Tap is considered by many fans as the logical championship team. * Rich Meyers, Foxhole r i g h t c e n t e r f i e l d e r , currently leads the league with a .696 average - .029 points higher than Doherty's shortstop Matt Oik. Following Oik are 3 more Foxhole players giving them 4 of the top 5 batters in the league! One of those hitters is John Meyers, who at .633 has to rate as the best substitute in Twelve Inch play! Nine Foxhole players currently hold a position in the league's top 25 batters. Foxhole first baseman Don Bentz is leading the league in RBI's with 35 followed closely by Raymond's Bowl right- fielder Tom Spasojevich with 32. "Spas" leads in homeruns with 9 round- trippers and leads the league with 17 total extra base hits. D o h e r t y ' s , W e s t e r n division leader, needs a victory to clinch at least a tie for first. Raymond's Bowl has been on a real hot streak and remain only 2 games back. Doherty's batting leaders, Matt Oik and Mike Rogers, league leaders in Most Hits and Runs Scored, should have something to say about that question. But there are other questions which will remain unanswered until the next 3 weeks of softball are con­ cluded. Who will finish in second and third place respectively in the tight Eastern division race for playoff berths? Will the Rusty Nail, despite a below .500 record, be able to hold onto third place in the West? Can Huemann's, which won 4 straight to start the season, overcome their dismal slump in which they have not won a game on the new field at Petersen? Will John's Sport Stop-Old Bridge, after the loss of key players due to injury and retirement, be able to hold on to a playoff position? Finally can either Little John's or Wayne's pull o f f t h e ' s e e m i n g l y i m ­ possible' and make it into third place and a playoff berth? Jimmy the Greek's odds for the championship are listed below: Foxhole Tap (3-2); Doherty's (8-); Raymond's Bowl (9-1); John's Sport Stop-Old Bridge (15-1); King's Row (50-1); Second Federal (50-1); Rusty Nail (75-1); Little John's (100-1); Wayne's (150-1); and Huemann's (200-1).

Frett 4 9 Terry Reilly Pro Tryout Terry Reilly, a 1976 graduate of McHenry High School and a member of the sweet sixteen basketball team as a senior, is leaving Wednesday for Washington D.C. for a professional basketball tryput. j The 1980 graduate <f Valley City State College ih North Dakota, Reilly hopes to become a professional basketball player for a team in Athens, Greece. As a senior at Valley City, Reilly was captain and leading scorer with 17 points per game. The quick guard averaged seven assists also on a team that won its conference, district play, and spent a week playing in Mexico the past year. If he makes the Greece team, Reilly will play against teams such as Belgium, Italy, France and Germany. The only other player in this area that has played in a foreign country was Jim Heard, a 1970 graduate of McHenry who played for Germany for a year. If Reilly doesn't latch on with the Greece team, he will settle down in this area to teach and coach. "Whatever happens, I thank God for the chance to tryout and for giving me the talent he's blessed me with," Reilly said. Reilly's fate as a pro ball player will be decided on Saturday, August 16, the day of his wedding. If he is selected, play will start in October. - To Our Customers - Our Main Dining Room will be CLOSED To The Public Friday, August 15th & 22nd Our Regular Fish Fry Will Be Served f In Our Other Two Rooms Please Call For Reservations True Story 385-1072 -January, 1979 Mr. X of McHenry bought eyeglasses from someone else costing him $106.00 and waited 6 weeks for delivery. --Junt, 1980- Mr. X came to McHenry Opticians, bought glasses costing him $44.00 and waited only 26 minutes! "See the Difference World Champs Hiller And Hamm Wins USSSA 16" Title Hiller and Hamm, favorites in the first annual United States Slo-Pitch World 16" St "tball Tournament, proved why they were the favorites by t ating a worn Nancy's Tavern-Hiller Construction team to i ipture the three-day extravaganza held at Petersen Park . st Weekend. The final score was 2. 3. Breezing through the inners bracket, Hiller and Hamm beat Levy Company froi Wheeling, Something Good from Round Lake, OK Bar fron LaCrosse, Wisconsin and the third- place Chicagoans in their thrust to the finals. Fighting through the loser's bracket, Nancy's played seven games before the final match. Rain almost wiped out the 17-team tourney on Sunday, but a lot of gasoline burning and elbow grease paid off as teams from as far away as Cleveland, Ohio were kept from going home early. Because of the rain delay, the last contest did not start until 9 pm before a lively crowd of about 250 people. Nancy's, a conglomeration of players from the local 16" league, chose home team on the flip and fell behind early as Hiller and Hamm tallied six runs in the first inning. Big blows in the inning included a two-run homer by pitcher Billy Meyers and a two-run double by Ron Miller. In the bottom of the inning, Nancy's scored two on a double by shortstop Chuck Marke, scoring Mike Weber and Jack Wiech to put the score at 6-2. That's as close as Nancy's could come, however, as Hiller and Hamm scored two in the second, me in the third, and thundered back with 12 in the sixth. Nanqy's could muster only one more run on doubles by Brian DiBlasi and left fielder Tim Frantz. Everyone in the Hiller and Hamm line up had at least one hit with Rich Meyers providing a double, triple and homer in four trips. Although Nancy's ran out of gas, they played a strong tournament with solid defense and excellent pitching by Wayne Frantz. EARL WALSH" So I Hear by Bob Browttor McHenry Country Club 820 N John Slreet McHenry McHENRY OPTICIANS 1301 Riverside Dr. McHenry "IQ4L.Q9AC (Atro** from Fox Hol») Illinois THINGS I'D LIKE TO DO OR SEE AGAIN: Run. Take a brisk walk. Drive a Model "T" (just around the block). Be able to tie my shoes laces without so much effort. Ride horseback. Waltz. See teeth fall out of the comb when trying to master an unruly head of hair. Weigh 165 pounds. Go to a World Series game in Comiskey Park. Score a baseball game for Joe Frett or Walt Freund. Spar (verbally) with John Looze at a Rotary meeting. Skip school. I did it just once when the whole enrollment at McHenry High, now Landmark, decided to protest not having a holiday on Washington's birthday. Boy, were we patriotic! We gathered below the hill on the banks of Boone Creek during the noon hour. When the bell rang for afternoon classes, all the girls and some of the boys deserted our small band of rebels. We were caught. .,~ Sadly, my father was McHenry's one-man police department and truant of­ ficer. 'Twasn't funny. Hear everybody's favorite teacher, Miss Pryor, say, "Don't be plebians." Ride down Cristy's Hill, Waukegan Road near Landmark, on a big bobsled made by Fred and Huppy Schoewer in their father's blacksmith shop. You crossed Green St. without fear of traffic. "Autos?" -- you say. What autos? Eat salt. (How's your blood pressure?) Hear Mikie Purcell play the fiddle. He never had lessons, but had plenty of time to practice. Work wasn't a pah of his life. Remember names. Ac­ tually, I never was too hot in that department. Buy a dollars worth of anything for a dollar and a half. Buy a 5-cent cigar for a dime. Hear "Marty" Conway's father laugh. A kindly man, he had a hearty chuckle with the Conway sense of humor. See Fox River safe for swimming. Peace. It has to start in the home, then in communities, the state, the nation and the world. It won't happen until the Golden Rule takes over. Walk through the wet grass -- barefoot. Girls in tennis cham­ pionships are proving that youth must be served. Golf is another story where the men are con­ cerned. Our eyes were glued to the tube as Jack Nicklaus won the PGA tournament for the fifth time. A real artist Nancy's beat Lill's Tappers from Half Day on Friday before losing to Nischan Shoe from Waukegan Saturday night. In the loser's bracket of the double-elimination event, Nancy's thetn played 6 games on Sunday, sending Paramount Industries home to Cleveland and OK Bar back to Lacrosse. They alio beat Murphy's Pub, the local Oilers and the Chicagoans Jn their quest for the title. * The Most Valuable Player in the tourney was Chicagoans short center Gary Ryndak, who hit .750 (12-16) and played excellent defense for the third place team. The all-tournament team included pitchers Bill Meyers from Hiller and Hamm and Wayne Frantz from Nancy's, catcher Jack Wiech from Nancy's, First basemen Donny Bentz from Hiller and Hamm and Rick Wakitsch from Nishan Shoe, second baseman Twig Miller from Hiller and Hamm, shortcenter Gary Ryndak from Chicagoans and shortstop Chuck Marke from Nancy's along with third baseman Mike Nelson from OK Bar. Outstanding outfileders were BUI Melville from Nishan, Jim Yaworski from Hiller and Hamm, Jerry Duchen from Chicagoans and Dan Miller from the Oilers. Rich Meyers was also selected as an outstanding shortstop. The tourney was scheduled to handle 40 teams, but only 17 teams came through. Teams from New York and other eastern states dropped out when informed that gloves would not be allowed for all players in the tournament. Only the pitcher and first baseman were allowed to use mitts. Paramount Industries from Cleveland, Ohio was the only team entered that usually used gloves. Tournament Director Raul MpFeaz said that he ha§ already bid and received permiten# %l|pl<$hext year's USSSA ivqJJd tourney. Morenz said that gloves will be optional next year so that more out-of-state teams will join the tournament. The event will again be planned for the second week in August. Joel Wakitsch with the clubs. Bet he would g i v e E d B u s s a n d A r t Jackson a run for their money. 01 Timers long gone would have a rough time in McHenry today. To them, if a person had resided here for 25 years, he or she was referred to as a newcomer. The Warrior football season opens here Sept. 5 when the Stevenson High team comes to McCracken Field. Dick Rabbitt wheeled me over to Stevenson last year where the Warriors threw some strange formations at strong opposition. Lloyd Freund moved too fast for me to catch all the wording on the front of his shirt, but large letters proclaimed him to be "The Golfer". Must get the rest of the message. Mt. St. Helen's eruptions and Hurricane Allen make our local thunderstorms sound like pussycats. Have had a good time reading through scrap books lent to me by Cousin Irene Rieger. One clipping told of a woman out in California entertaining 88 guests in a tiny one-room and kit­ chenette apartment. Sounds like a phone booth convention. It's the little things in life that make me happy. Like hearing a friendly "Hi Earl," turning around and seeing Dan and Helen Creamer driving along. It's the small town boy in me. DR.

Elm Street (Rte. 120-Across the Street from Hornsby's) (815) 344-3900 VACATION FISH TIPS For many vacationers, the opportunity to fish in a differ­ ent location will be one of the reasons they travel. For others, fishing may not be a major attraction, yet they would like to participate if they could. 1. Write for information about the type of fishing avail­ able. Don't fish for everything. Limit angling to one or two species. C&. Inquire about boat and motor rentals. A boat improves your chances of catching fish. 3. Be selective with tackle. Take only what is needed for the type of fishing you'll do. Plan on buying some local lures. 4. Pack tackle carefully. Pro­ tect rods with a stout case, or take along multi-piece travel rods. 5. Plan to allow time for fish­ ing. Keep your schedule flexible to take advantage of local con­ ditions. 6. Encourage your family to fish, also. They'll enjoy it. If they don't fish, plan something for them while you do. 7. Talk to local anglers. Often, one will invite you to join him. At the least, you'll learn What lures to use, and perhaps where to go for best action. 8. Consider a guide, espe­ cially if time is limited. 9. Put back what you catch. Without a way to preserve your catch for later table use, don't waste the fish. 10. Take photographs. When you return home, no one will believe the size of your catch if you don't have proof!
