EARL WALSH' I Hear PTtGE 7 - PLAIN DEALER • WEDNESDAY. APRIL 29. lftl fashioned marriage and one always came out right on the SAFE BY A NOSE - The double steal is a favorite ploy of McHenry baseball coach Brian Wilson, but the shoe was on the other foot in Monday's game at McCracken field. Jacobs pulled off the double steal to set up a scoring opportunity. Warrior third baseman Joe Bauml (left) took the throw but It was too late to nip the Golden Eagle runner. Jacobs also had the better of things in the final score, winning the Fox Valley Conference game M. STAFF PHOTO - WAYNE GAYLORD Warrior Nine Beats Central Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you split. The latter case pertained to the McHenry baseball team after the Warriors traded victories with Crystal Lake Central on Saturday. The Warriors rode the four-hit pitching of junior Dave Smith to a 5-3 victory in the opener, then dropped a 2-1 decision in the nightcap Defeat notwithstanding. Warrior coach Brian Wilson was more than satisfied with the play of his team. "Central was expected td°be one of the top teams in the (Fox Valley) conference, but I thought we played ex­ tremely well." said Wilson. Smith has had peaks and valleys on the mound this season, but he saved a good performance for the first game of the twinbill. The big guy scattered four hits and allowed only two earned runs to pick up the win. He struck out five and walked five. "He's had ups and downs, but he pitched pretty well against a tough team." Wilson noted Smith's teammates backed him with key hits. McHenry scored twice in the fourth. Bob Greve hit a single and took second on an error before Jeff McNish delivered a run-scoring double. After John Doessel walked, Mike Dillon drove in a run with a single. Dillon was the hitting star for the winners with a three-for- three day. The winning runs scored in the fifth as McHenry took advantage of a mental lapse on the part of the Crystal Lake defense. Smith and Greve walked and moved up on McNish's grounder. A wild pitch scored Smith and sent Greve to third. But the Tigers failed to see Greve sneaking in for another run. 1 Bob Bryniarski, Smith and Greve hit singles in the sixth to account for the final run. McNish pitched well in the second game, but was a victim of nonsupport. The Warriors had opportunities but could only score one run and dropped the second game. "We had people moving around the bases quite a few times but just couldn't get that key hit or break," Wilson related. "Jeff pit­ ched a nice game and it was a shame to lose." The Warriors scored their only run in the fourth when Smith reached second on two errors and stole second. After McNish walked, the double steal that has been so effective for McHenry again worked to perfection and a run scored Central knotted the score in the fourth on an error and two singles The winning tally came an inning later when the Tigers got a man to third after a bases-loaded double play and a single. McHenry has a busy schedule this week. The Warriors play a game every day. including four con­ ference games. They host Dundee on Wednesday, after games with Jacobs and Lake Zurich Thursday finds the Warriors on the road at Crown. On Friday. McHenry travels to Jacobs. "It's tough on a pitching staff to play so many games in one week, but we're making up rainouts." Wilson explained. "I don't know what my rotation will be this week. We'll see how everybody feels day by day."Wilson said he may go with a younger pitcher against Lake Zurich, since it is a non-conference game. Crown and Dundee split a doubleheader Saturday, giving Wilson fuel for op­ timism "If we play this week like we did Saturday, we could easily win three," he mused. The Warriors are now 2-4 in the Fox Valley. i rosocoocoooococoooq^ i!

The Larkins met Don and his wife during a trip to the north woods. A special bottle had this label: SAP TO SYRUP Don '81 I wasn't home when Jim called at our house," but he told Alvina how Don taps the trees to gather the sap A nice, thoughtful gift Some readers want me to blast the poor Cubs. No way. You don't kick a guy when he is down Let them rise again and I may take a few shots In answer to a note signed "Inquisitive": No I didn't enter the Boston Marathon this year. Things must have changed since I went to school. Our teachers would have told us a thing or two if we said. "Where is he at9" Now and then a sentence creeps in ending with a preposition. Instead of reconstructing the sentence. I think-- Oh, whathell, let 'er fly! Can't seem to get excited about the pro basketball tournament. It's baseball time Crowds seem to get a big thrill out of a 7-foot -giant stuffing the ball through a basket. To me it is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Bill We went to see the McHenry Junior High Science Fair and couldn't believe the ac- coiiiplishrrients of those young students While I have long thought our schools are not putting enough stress on the three "Rs" and spelling, it is evident the young people of loctay are way ahead of us in the field of science Our son. Jack, reported I,es Bacon saying, "I saw things here tonight that weren't even in college text books twenty years ago" I listened to the WIND story about the daughter who was given up for adoption by her mother, then reunited when the daughter was grown up and married. It was a real tear-jerker Nice of the nice lady to call, but it is a WIND story which I can't copy Being one who picks up everything in sight to read (except somebody's per­ sonal papers or mail). I am reminded of what a girl once remarked Said she. "If there is nothing else, I read the label on the bottle of magnesia " There is something to be said for Daylight Saving Time After a busy summer, you can pick up an extra hour of sleep in October The sun shone brightly Sunday for Bill Rothermel and his bride of 60 years Relatives and friends galore gathered for open house in the K of C hall to honor this popular couple. Sixty years is a long spell. That's what we call an old to be admired. Seeing Bill brought back memories. The old Fox Pavilion opened Memorial week-end in 1923 in Conway's Woods on Lincoln Road. Bill and I worked together a long time selling and taking tickets for the Math Niesen family Clarence Niesen always claimed Bill was so accurate that his cash dime. Met a lot of those Lake County Wagners at the celebration. They must have been taught in catechism class to worship the Lord first and the Chicago Cubs next. It was a happy day and a happy group who gathered 'round to honor the bride and groom of 60 years.
