Y PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1973 EARL WALSH Might get started with one of the weirdest baseball problems of all time. A fellow just phoned and suggested that we direct this question to the baseball experts at Bimbo's. Here it is: A batter with bulging muscles comes up to bat ~ hit the ball so hard that it shat­ tered, but stayed together -- spins as it sails into space -- then half the ball goes out of the park -- the other half stays inside and is caught by an outfielder -- How does the umpire rule? Send your answers (any of you fans) to us right away. How can we sleep with an unsolved question of such importance? The Bimbos will probably ask if we are referring to a Cub or Sox batter. Bob Mortell tells us the Kiwanis Club has seen the light. They always took a group (bus load) to see a Cub game. This year they have chosen a Sox-Yankee game. But, we musn't talk about the major leagues so much. Mrs. Henry Tonyan says so. In fact she says the Warrior games are much better. The first warm day that comes along we'll be out there to watch them. Give us warm weather for baseball. We'll take football when it's cold. WATCH - Madeline Maselter, of Pioneer Center, will be on T V., Sat., April 28, Wide World of So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ Mr. K's School of Folk Music begins Guitar and Banjo lessons May 1st for information call 385-5225 Citizens of Oregon can be proud - the Williamette River has been cleaned up due to joint citizen, state and federal effort. It is not the natural. unsullied river it teas before settlers came to its valley nearly 150 years ago. Rut it is a river clean enough to meet all the uses and needs of its modern inhabitants. Oregonians have caught up with the pollution of their river and now they face the long-range challenge of keeping it clean. They hare demonstrated their determination that the river must never again be degraded. B l l / M i H U i T HcHENRY, ILL 385-0144 STARTS FRIDAY APR. 27tT| One Showing Each Evening.

THIS WORLD( OF OURS jbile By Hal The Harmony Snowmobil Club held their annual Fi Festival and Pot-luck luncheon at the Moose lodge on Rt. 120 east of McHenry on Sunday, April 15. More than 100 persons including families and friends attended. Food was served smorgasbord style and delicious as could be. Congratulations to all the gals on a job well done. After the luncheon, films taken by the club members of their Christmas party, with Santa arriving by snowmobile of course, and other events were also shown. The highlight of the afternoon of course, was the movie films and slides taken by the Harmony mem­ bers on their recent trips to West Yellowstone National Park and Park Rapids, Minn. Exciting scenes of Old Faithful Geyser, Grand Canyon, Con­ tinental divide and many more were filmed during a time when few tourists ever dreamed of visiting or even seeing same. Wild life was filmed in their natural environment com­ pletely unmolested. Can you imagine this happening during the summer months? Snow so deep, walking 'though it was virtually impossible. It sure didn't resemble our winter this year. Above all, the Harmony club displayed extreme capability in the way they conducted themselves as representatives of an Illinois Snowmobiling club, and as qualified operators, as each state requires. Hats off to these devoted people that not only love this comparatively new winter sport, but form clubs for the purpose of educating the public on proper handling techniques, safety and laws pertaining to the sport. Let's all back them up and help as much as we can. This is a program to open up all areas normally dormant during the winter months. Bring these winter benefits to the McHenry area by backing our snowmobile clubs. Due to other snowmobile commitments your new reporter for the Snowmobile News column will be Hal Race. He has done a fine job on his first column and if he receives as much help and support as I have from our readers I know he will enjoy doing it as much as I have. Thank you, Inga. The new officers of the McHenry County Snowmobile association were recently elected at Woodstock. President: George Rudolph from Polar Bears Snowmobile club, Vice President, Alby Adams of Harmony Snowmobile club, Sec., Rich­ mond Trail Blazers, Treas., Larry Berg, Woodstock Snowmobile club. Trustee, Tom McAuliff, Oak Park club. Any Snowmobile club interested in joining this fine new organization call Tom at 385- 5270 or Alby Adams at 385-0434. McHenry High Relays Saturday, Morning By Dick Rabbitt On Saturday morning McHenry high school will host the 8th Annual McHenry Relays at McCracken field. The field events will get under way at 9 a.m. Eight schools will participate. They are McHenry, Batavia, Cary Grove, Marengo, Geneva, Kaneland, Yorkville and Grayslake. Kaneland is the defending champion, having won the meet the past three years. However, this year Geneva and Batavia are expected to battle it out for the top spot. This is an unusual type of relay. Four from each school are entered in all field events, and the total of each is added to a team total. The school with the highest total is the winner in each event. Point scoring is as follows. 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. For you track fans, if you want to see an interesting, but unusual type of track meet, I suggest you come down to McCracken field on Saturday morning. Let the yardwork go for a couple of hours, the meet will end by noon, and I'm sure it will be well worth your time.

Scheduled to become effective on July 1, 1973, the numbering regulations will apply on that date in Washington, New Hampshire, Alaska, and the District of Columbia, the four areas where the Coast Guard rather than the local authority is responsible for the num­ bering of craft. All other states, however, are required to be in conformance with the federal numbering regulations by August 11, 1974. In essence, numbering will be required on all vessels equipped with propulsion machinery of any horsepower, and not otherwise documented by the Coast Guard, thus en­ compassing the majority of recreational boats. Current numbering regulations differ from state to state, and in many cases, boats powered by motors of less than 10 horsepower have been exempt from any num­ bering requirement. Are boats such as sailboats required to be numbered? "Yes, if they carry auxiliary power," says one Coast Guard official. "Boats that must bear numbers would include all small craft (such as canoes, dinghies, rowboats, or the like) that are equipped with a mechanical means of propulsion." In issuing its numbering regulations, the Coast Guard s i m u l t a n e o u s l y i n i t i a t e d revised procedures for the reporting of vessel casualties. Designed to provide the Coast Guard with a more accurate source of information about recreational boating accidents, the new regulations require that a written report be filed with state authorities when an accident victim is disabled for more than twenty-four hours. (The previously specified time was when incapacitation ex­ ceeded seventy-two hours.) If a boating casualty involves death or disappearance, the authorities must be notified immediately by the quickest means possible, followed by a written report within forty- eight hours. Like the num­ bering regulations, the changes in the casualty reporting requirements will be effective on July 1,1973, in Alaska, New Hampshire, Washington, and the District of Columbia; the other states will have until ON THIS SPRING TIRE SALE FIRESTONE & DELTA PASSENGER CAR TIRES 25% • 50% A± FUU. 4 - PLY OFF BUY NOW & SAVE McHenry Tire Mart 3931 W MAIN ST.

BACK TO PORT An unprecedented action initiated under the authority of the Federal Boat Safety Act permits the Coast Guard to terminate the use of a boat under certain unsafe conditions where continued operation would be especially hazardous. Since the Act became effective in August, 1971, the Coast Guard has designated eight situations as "unsafe con­ ditions." They are: lack of sufficient lifesaving devices; lack of sufficient firefighting devices; overloading of the boat; failure to display proper navigation lights when the boat is operated between sunset and sunrise; leakage of fuel from either the fuel system or the engine; accumulation of fuel in the bilges or in a compartment other than a fuel tank; failure to meet ventilation requirements; and, failure to meet the requirements for backfire flame control. The ultimate decision on whether a boat should be sent back to shore rests on the judgement of the Coast Guard boarding of­ ficer who observes the unsafe condition. If on-the-scene corrections can be made, or if the condition is not especially hazardous, continued operation of the boat would probably be permitted. (to be continued) Cats And Streaks Defeat Warriors By Dick Rabbitt Coach Ken Swanson's Warriors dropped a doubleheader to Libertyville on Monday at McCracken field. The scores were 3 to 2 and 5 to 2.
