In South Beloit on Friday, the locals could do no wrong, as Neiss netted a career high, but against Woodstock the Skyhawks were intimidated against the height of the opponents, and coach Bob Kies went to his bench continually in an attempt to cure a severe case of frustration. The Skyhawks scored the first three buckets of the slow first quarter as Tom Peiper, Rick Neiss and Russ Beck all hit the net early. Woodstock came back to make it 6-6 and moved ahead 10-9 with 55 seconds left in the first quarter The Johnsburg coach went Plaindealer Park.

If the new owners are approved and accepted into the holier-than-thou baseball family, they are going to let the fans pick the new uniforms. / You remember the firogram "My Friend rma". In the circle of White Sox fans, it is "Our Friend Mona". Mona phoned to say she has designed a new uniform and is sending her sketch in to the Sox. We'll be watching. long gone, talkii Christmas is but people are still talking about the outstanding decorations at a couple of homes. Of course, Ralph Ott is famous for his Santa Claus display. This year the Bob Kilday home drew a lot of attention. We drove down to see it and stopped to look and enjoy.

Several McHenryites have told me they wouldn't miss it for the world. Better get your tickets. The demand is apt to be greater than the supply Hank Hiller called at our house and said the program isn't complete. They will have players from both the Cub6 and Sox. With Vince Lloyd as M.C., you mav be sure the program will be interesting Watching the birds feasting on the seeds in our back yard: When one hears a little sound and sails into the air, they all take off. The stock market was like the birds one day last week. One broker advised his clients to sell everything so everybody went a-flutter. Somehow, our young friend got the idea that I am a White Sox fan. Happens that he loves baseball in general and the White Sox in particular. Hockey is Peter's second choice in sports. That's where our likes take off in different directions.

Sunday was the occasion of Petie Schaefer's 85th birthday. So, why not celebrate? His family arranged a surprise party that really was a surprise They told him it was a surprise on Florence May. It really was Florence's birthday, but she graciously served as a decoy and waited in St. Patrick's Hall with a large crowd for Petie's arrival. Now, that was a fun party if ever there was one. More fun than an old fashioned Irish wake. So many friendly people to meet and greet. It was right down our alley.
