STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR horses, ponies - all spirited and trained for show. Of course, the riders drivers were superb. and $ !r I It; I! * t Going my way? George Worts hadn't been in Comiskey Park in three years until last week. More are expected to see the light. Have been trying for a long time to figure out what Fred Bienapfl was talking about when he says somebody tosses out a ball from the dugout to a team coming off the field for a turn at bat. So, we watched closely. Suppose, Fred, that the first baseman takes a throw for the third out. He tosses the ball to the umpire or rolls it out to the mound. When the first baseman nears the dugout, somebody tosses him a practice ball and he folds it in his mitt to use when his team takes the field again. If that isn't what you mean, Fred, ask me again. Anytime I'm not sure, I tell another story just as good. This column likes con­ tributions but want the humorous kind. Have had some in the last couple of weeks like the fellow who is concerned about people who think they are right all the time. Told him to tell those kind they may be right fifty percent of the time-a darn good batting average. . Another was a pet peeve and one about untruths. Maybe they should write to Dear Abby with those problems. Hear so much about mer­ chandise not having good quality these days. Oh, I dunno! Haven't pulled any teeth out of my comb the way it used to happen. We saw "The Great American Horse Show" at Northbrook. This great com­ plex of buildings covers a vast area, a well-planned layout.

Besides having to change oil and oil filter you must also change the spark plugs, adjust the carburetor, set the engine timing, and change points and condenser if it's not equipped with high energy ignition. You must also check the valves and cylinder compression to determine if the engine has excessive wear internally.

CHEVROLET The famous dancing horse, Mr. Rhythm, was a great crowd pleaser with a bundle of skills. The show was dedicated as a memorial to Donald W. Ferguson, who died too young after contributing so much to the horse show world plus many other programs designed to hfelp his fellow man. It was his gracious wife, Marjorie, whom we met at the Royal Scott Farm near Rich­ mond. In back of all the splendid show was realization that proceeds benefited the Infant Welfare Society of Evanston. This worthy cause gives much needed help to many children. Music lovers won't agree, but when a beautiful poem like Joyce Kilmer's "Trees" is put to music it loses something in our estimation. That doesn't mean we don't like music. Some like it one way, some like it another way. Maybe we can relax now during the All-Star break. Recent Sox games have had us on the edge of our chair. Brian Downing is working his way back toward the number one spot as a White Sox catcher. When he threw out a speedy base stealer to end the game Sunday in a 3-2 win over Boston, Brian boosted his stock a few points.

Whatever it is it must have been said as the McHenry Hospital despite the odds, put it all together. A flawless defense highlighted by Larry Sweeton's plays at shortstop plus an offense which included 3 homeruns and capped by Rich Hopper's clutch single driving in the eventual winning runs during the sixth inning spelled victory for the last place Hospital. After the players left the playing field the post-game analyzers took turns figurine out how the Old Brieve lost but the look of satisfaction on Bill Salmen's face probably said it all. That single victory makes the season worth it! In other games Indian Ridge Manor won two big games versus a faltering Rusty Nail. The Nail has lost 5 of their last 6 and now are pressured to win at least 2 of their final 3 games • otherwise 3 Indian Manor victories and 2 Rusty Nail losses would put the Manor into the playoffs. St. Regis took advantage of two Chalet outfield errors to the Chalet score 6 unearned runs in the first of two games. Regis never scored any more runs but The Chalet could only push across four as Regis won 6-4. In game two St. Regis took a 9-4 decision to sweep the doubleheader and pull within a game of first place. O'Brewery moved into a tie for first place as they whalloped Rhino's 15-3 and 19-5. O'Brewery faces McHenry Hospital this Wednesday while Old Bridge meets Indian Manor in 9-inning single games. Both teams should remain tied for first while St. Regis meets Rusty Nail in the battle for third place, litis will definitely be the game of the week - if Don Prazak is back from vacation we will got with Regis. The Chalet plays against Rhino's at West campus in other league action. PatWirtz 1211 N. RIVER RD.
