Ladies' golf Texas Rangers Roger Stauback rfWWWWWWWWVW^'i Northern lllini Bowmen News wwwwwwwwwut Most bowhunters just enjoy shooting with bow and arrow and like being in the woods. Often, they shoot year around as members of local archery clubs. Others prefer to just bowhunt, preferring the challenge of hunting deer with a bow rather than a gun. Some take up the bow because of the much longer season available to them as a bowhunter. This year of 1979, Wisconsin archery deer season opens September 15 and closes December 31 with a 2 week break for gun season. Regardless of the reason for taking up the bow, the majority of deer hunters that use the bow and arrow prepare well for the season. Now is the time to check camouflage clothing; also waterproof those com­ fortable, non-squeaking foot­ wear well ahead of the season so the obnoxious odor of the applied material will be dissipated. Camouflage headnetting and net gloves help in disguise as well as insect abatement, especially for the early season bowhunt. Equipment check is essen­ tial. Tape that extra string to the bow after it has been shot for correct nocking point. Check hunting arrows and have enough on hand to use at least four for practice with field tips that are the same weight as the broadheads and two or more to be used with broadheads dulled and mounted for practice for "stump shooting". It is most unusual to find a broadhead that will fly from the bow as perfectly as a field tip, so each new type of broadhead used should be practice shot before sharpening to a razor edge. If practicing with the newer in­ jector blade insert broadheads, put them in backwards to avoid danger. It is well to refresh the memory on the habits of deer, the finer points of tracking and even go so far as to restudy the details of field dressing. Always carry a knife in the equipment. Each session we hear of the novice bowhunter making a Told you I wake up every morning with a song on the brain. This morning it was "Sweet Georgia Brown". That was the favorite tune for the Charleston dancers. That was long ago. It might take people in the vicinity of three score and ten to rememeber. The summer is slipping past with sure signs of fail. Events like the club championship at McHenry Country Club are coming up. Met Barb Weber at "O'Shoot Day" at Chapel Hill and found her all set for our annual date to wheel around and watch the last day of the championship event. People ask, "Who is going to win it this year?" And -- "Do you think one of those younger golfers can knock off Art Jackson and Eddie Buss?" A rtew champion comes along in every sport at some time. But, you can be sure Art and Eddie will make a new one earn the crown. We could name some real good golfers who have a chance, but won't put the hex on them by naming names. Anyhow, it will be fun to watch. SUDDEN THOUGHT: Seems to me girls are always washing their hair. Had a chance to get tickets for the Sox games on Saturday, but nobody seemed interested in watching the opposition, the Toronto Blue Jays. Shouldn't say nobody. Some had previous plans. For my part, any two teams on any given day can put on a good show. Guess sports fans love a winner. If the Yankees, Boston, Baltimore, Kansas City, Milwaukee or others, were playing, they would gobble up those tickets in a hurry. Holy smokers -- do we Have inflation! Saw an ad for smaller, lower priced homes for only 70 to 80 thousand dollars. lucky shot and collecting his trophy: however, the bowhunter who knows the limitations of his equipment, can place his arrows within a 12 inch circle and is well versed in deer lore, will be the most likely bowhunter to be in the low percentage of successful big game bowhunter license holders. Practicing with the bow is an essential and enjoyable part of the preliminary plans for the hunt. Northern Qlini Bowmen of McHenry are having a warm up shoot for deer season on August 19 at their oak wooded valley archery range on Draper road, just a mUe west of McHenry, off Route 120. This annual "Jack Perry Broadhead" shoot is a 30 target short ranged shoot into straw bales from unknown distances to similate actual hunting conditions even including several tree- stands. Registration is from 8 a.m...to 2 p.m. on August 19. The bowhunter is invited to par­ ticipate. Club meeting Thursday, Aug. 16,8 p.m. American Legion hall to finalize plans for Broadhead Shoot.

ATTITUDE: That is something that changes drastically, depending on whether , you are a pedestrian or sitting behind the wheel. Some of the White Sox young pitchers are beginning to live up to advance notices. Watch the Yankees try to get one of them. True to tradition, the show must go on. That's how the White Sox management felt when heavy rains soaked the outfield at Comiskey Park. At great expense, they hauled in loads of a special type of sand to spread over the area. Of course, it took such Cub fans as Bob Freund to call it samflot baseball. Bob noticed the Toronto right fielder sinking and slipping in that sand. What he didn't notice was the flipper slippers worn by the Sox fielder. You have to be equipped for emergencies. Come to think of it -- What was the likes o' Bob Freund doing watching a Sox game? Ed Houlihan is now giving putting lessons since Harold Michels showed him the fine points of the game. Never-miss Houlihan tells it one way. Dick Rosing tells it another way. Dick says that Ed can chip a 35-foot shot onto the green and the ball has eyes for the cup. "But", says Dick, "He can't sink a 4 - foot putt". On second thought, maybe you should take lessons from Dick. He has always been a top athlete.

BASEBALL * * » By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. C. - The feeling here is that unless the American League team can play smarter baseball and get better managing, the league will never win an All-Star game. Surely the American Leaguers kicked away this year's game with stupid play. In the 7th, for example, with no one out and two on, Bob Lemon let hitters swing away. A bunt would have almost assured one more run to pad the lead. So the hitters swung away and no one came home- with first and second occupied and no outs! Jim Rice, in the 8th with no outs, threw away an almost sure run when he got himself tagged out, trying to stretch an error-double into a three-base hit. There was no point in that-one insurance run was what was needed, and chances were excellent he could have come on around- since no one was out. Then, in the ninth, to give the opposition four walks and the ball game, with pitching jitters--that needs no com­ ment. Throwing away almost- sure runs in the 7th and 8th and walking in the winning run in the 9th--is an altogether sorry record, and the A.L, team got just what it deserved.
