PAGE 6-PLA1NDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3*. 1*2 New Start For 'New Tradition', Little John s Wins First Little John's finally broke its two year jinx by defeating Jewel Park 9* in a come-from-behind thriller in men's 12-inch softball Wednesday night. The occasion marked rookie skipper Dave 'Elia' Miller's first win after eight starts this season and possibly earned himself a contract from owner John Little which will extend through the 1963 season. The win was also Little John's' only victory in two seasons excluding a forfeit win in 1961. Jewel Park opened the scoring with three runs in the first as Leon Palatas (4-for-4), Jim Cook (3-for-4), and Joe Schwarz (2-for-3) all singled and drive in a run. Howefer, Steve Sanders was cut down at third an Schwarz's hit to end (he inning Sanders was only the first of four Jewel base runners to be thrown out at bases (two each at third and home), as Little John's out­ fielders Jim Grabowski and Jim Quinn did a great job getting the ball in. Jewel Park added three more runs to their lead as Jim Cook hit a two run inside the park home run and Bob Hawkinson singled in the other run. grabowski saved the day as he cut down Joe Schwarz at the plate to end }he inning and pump some life into the J,ittle John offense. Five Little John's runners crossed the plate in the fourth to cut Jewel's lead to one. Four of those runs came in when Little John runners elected to test Jewel's arms - it worked to the winners advantage. Dave Schmidt had the big hit in the inning, his second triple of the season. An inning later, after Jim Grabowski had thrown another runner out at third, he sent a flyball to center which scored the go-ahead run. It followed Jim Quinn's RBI single as Little John's held a 7-6 lead. Jim Cook tripled^nd scored to tie the score in the bottom of the fifth. But Jim Quinn was up to the challenge agains in the sixth with a two run single (his third hit of the contest). With Little John's up 9-7 going into the sixth, Jewel mounted a rally in which four of the first five batters reached base yet no one scored! Neal Nessett's one out triple went for naught as he tried to stretch it and was cut down at the plate, Quinn to Steve Lane to John Little. A walk and two singles loaded the • bases, however, a fielder's choice ended the threat. The final inning was again tense for Little John's fans as pitcher Dave Schmidt had control problems and walked three batters. On the third base on balls Steve Sanders, who McHenry's Adams Headed To State Brad Adams, who will be a senior at McHenry community high school this fall, was one of five teenage golfers that succesfully made it through the opening round of the 14th annual McHenry County Youth Golf Classic held recently at McHenry Country Club I Adams will now advance to the state (finals to be held July 12-13 at the Kail {Golf Course in Springfield • A field of 30 golfers took part in the {annual event sponsored by the In- •dependent Insurance Agents In­ dividual medalist was Dave Vierck of {Crystal I^ake Sotith high school who fshot a 77 , \ The second and third place finishers 'were also from Crystal Lake - Mike IWollam and Paul Schwarz and will also advance to the state finals The [fifth finalist, from the girls division, >as Meg Gorecki of St Charles.

Again left fielder Jim Quton came to the rescue as he made a great game saving running catch off Larry Lowrey's sinking liner to left.

Actually, it's not one creature, but one team comprised of 10 McHenry area men who combined strength and willpower to compete in a different kind of survival test. In case you haven't guessed, the 10- man team is a tug of war team which recently turned in a highly successful performance in their initial try at the sport during the recent Miller High Life Regional tug of war contest held in Northbrook, The team, sponsored by Decker Annual 16-Inch Tournament Slated CRYSTAL LAKE--*Fhe Pa* Valley Officials Association's Third thnual" Class B 16-inch skvpitch dptball double elimination tournamdht Will be held 1 he weekend of July 9-11 in Crystal Lake The top four teams will receive berths to the World Tournament to be held September 17 19 in Rockford The (op four teams will also receive team trophies and the first and second place winners will receive expense money Entry fee including the USSSA team registration fee will be charged.

Over 50 teams representing north Chicagoland competed for the top four spots at Brookfield. The Decker Construction team will also square off against the top four teams from the south Chicagoland division. An added attraction at Brookfield, the top two leams from the state finals will go up against one of the zoo's elephants.' Requirements for the tug of war contest limit each team to 10 men or 2000 pounds to be weighed On a meat scale The Decker team of 10 weighed in just below the legal limit at 1996 pounds While all the teams were under a strict weight requirement, the physical appearances of the teams varied at Northbrook, according to construction member Brett Decker. But as Decker indicated, the teams that looked the most imposing were not necessarily the strongest or the most successful. "The key is to get everyone pulling at the same time," said Decker. "Timing is probably the greatest factor. Leg strength is the other important ingredient. But you havbe to be able to work together as a team to win." "When picking people for the team, you have to be able to find someone who can pull his own weight," he added. "Each person has to carry his share of the load." The Decker team's only loss at Northbrook was to the lristr men, a world renowned team No. cme in the United States ityd Np two in Canada. The FishermairtHH be competing at Brookfield also. Members of the Decker team in­ clude Captain Kerry Decker, Brett Decker, Bob Decker, Brian Miller, Kevin Miller, Jim Steinbach, Gary Snell, Craig Workinger, Jim Murgatroyd, and Jim Cavenaugh. A women's tesm sponsored by Sunnyside Inn also competed in the Northbrook regional, but results were unavailable.

Last Wednesday, Stuc's opened the week by downing Adams Brothers Steel 15-12 as Andee Norton and Nancy Walsh supplied the offensive punch with home runs, Sheri Rnaack came in to relieve Sarah Fox in the sixth inning and gave up no hits and no runs to record the save Otto's Girls, the league leaders, defeated' Stuc's on Thursday by a narrow 8-6 verdict. Kim Smith chalked up the win for Otto's Girls, while Knaack suffered the loss for Stuc's. Both pitchers turned in ex­ cellent mound performances, but Stuc's committed five fielding errors which helped Otto's to their fifth victory in six games. Stuc's came back to win on Sunday, a convincing 17-7 decision over Don's Dairy Frost Stuc's coaches Knaack and Norton said this was probably the beat defensive game that the team had played all seaaon in support of winning hurler Sarah Fox who went the distance on the mound to earn the win. In the first inning, Don's scored three runs, but Stuc's came back with seven runs of their own highlighted by Renee Mezzano's three-run homer Excellent defense by Stuc's held Don's without a run over the next four innings, while the winners put the game away with seven more runs in the third inning. Mezzano hit for the cycle te lead Stuc's as she also tripled, doubled, and singled in her four at bats. Tracey Hudjera added a 3-for-3 performance and Knaack and Wendy Turner each collected three RBI's.
