However, an injured Pat Burke phis Don Praxak working the night shift will prevent West End-Kiss It from overtaking the Fox Hole. The Whale's Tail should fill the void caueed by a breaking up of the Old, Bridge balklub. Last season, the Tail defeated two playoff teams. This season they should be among the post season participants. Peer Inn-Jack's Snsck Shop may not make the playoffs, but will raise more than a few eyebrows with a hustling, aggressive ballclub. If the chips fall into place, Peer Inn-Snack Shop could give the Tail a run for the third playoff position. King's Row has loot too much in the departed Chuck Marke who has joined the Rusty Nail. The Row will not recover to finisher any higher than The Johnsburg Businessmen will hsve the experience, power, hitting, and an adequate defense to take them to the Western division crown. The sddition of the Bents's should give Johnsburg sn nl||i the expected second place club. The Rusty Nail Inn has also acquired a number of solid defensive players and will field a stronger all- around team than it has in any previousseason. Overall team speed, quickness, and defense will give them a distinct edge over most teams. The question is: Will their old time sluggers come through in the big games? Doherty's was the surprise western, division pennsnt winner in 1981. Although still a good team, I don't feel their clutch hitting and fielding will save them as it did last season in the McHenry Girls Drop Two eternal problems must be reaoived, which I don't feel they win, before Doherty's can be ccnskkred a threat for the pennant Huemann's Water Softening wen only five games last season, however, they may be in for a shock in itt Too many key koeos and the failure to sign any power hitting ballplayers will make it difficult to achieve even last ssason's record of 8-11. Jewel Psrk of Barrington has added one key player, but their outfield woes will only increase with the playing field at Knox park. should give Huemann's a run for fourth place.

The Greek will be looking for an upset from the West to take the championship. By the way. Little John's (despite 'building a new tradition') Is currently a 290-1 very long shot to win it all.
