One of the reasons is expansion. Now that each League has taken on four teams I don't think there are enough good players to keep them at the previous strength. Oakland has been the world series winner for two years. Just imagine what it would be like if they were involved in a series with the Yankees of the 50's or early 60?s. There is no comparison between the teams. The Yankees, for so many years, had teams loaded with great players. The Philadelphia Athletics and the Detroit Tigers were other great teams in the American League and the National League had St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates. In other words, then there were a great number of teams, now we have a few great players scattered throughout the Leagues. It remains to be seen whether the owners and managers will put the emphasis on producing teams who can and want to work together or who will be satisfied in depending on a few super­ stars. I Hear .SPORTS EDITOR MILLER V^OOD^XK^3*M)032 STARTS FRIDAY FOR ONE WEEK WOODY ALLEN " SLEEPER " The teams years ago were great because of good scouting and farm systems. Those days, some of the teams had six or eight farms while today very few of them have more than four. They are now getting more of their talent from college baseball. Previously, players would be in the minors an average of six years; now it is two or three years so that a player coming from college or the minors these days just doesn't have as much experience. I think the teams were faster, harder hitting and just better trained all-around. Another factor involved in the type of baseball being played today is the great variance in salaries paid to the payers which is part of the whole "super-star" idea. While Babe Ruth, years ago, earned an unbelievable salary for those days, he was an exception. The salaries on most of the teams between the greets and not-so-greats were not nearly as unequal. I can't help but believe that this affects the players' attitudes toward each other and the game itself. I don't believe the super-star mentality does much of value for baseball. To me, the greatest thrill and excitement of baseball is the endless variety of plays and action which come from a team working together. It seems as though the sports' writers did much to create the "super­ star" mentality by talking about certain players so much, and the Leagues have gone along with the concept. I can't help wonder how long it will be ONE-STOP MiMlil Chain-O- Lakes TRAVEL SERVICE 3405 W. Elm St. McHenry, Illinois60050 travel service Planning a Caribbean cruise?

When that happens, I think the games will really entertain the fans again because the players themselves will enjoy playing more. No doubt, expansion had to come because of the growth in our population and the demand from more cities who want major league teams. Some of them, however, are not doing well financially and after a couple of years there just doesn't seem to be the interest in the teams. It's not easy to figure out what the future of baseball is but there could very well be even more changes and developments than we have seen in the past ten years. Walt Freund ' Sophomores Open Baseball Season : Away From Home The McHenry high sophomore baseball team will take to the road Monday, when they play at Carmel of Mundelein.

During that time the club has changed to meet the ever changing relationship of cars, drivers, state and Federal regulations and money. The club's summer racing program was dropped when race course and insurance costs increased dramatically. The winter ice race event, which was held in January, became a two day event when interest and competition increased. Rallyes became shorter when gasoline shortages occurred. A lengthy discussion took place in the club during the 1960's as to whether or not non-sports cars (i.e. American cars) should be allowed in the club. They are. Gymkhanas became faster as cars' handling performance was better , developed. Discussions about every aspect of automobiles and driving and equipment still take place long after meetings are adjourned. Lake Region Sports Car Club has changed - for better in most cases - because of its members. The membership of LRSCC is as varied as the cars the members own. From Abarths to Volkswagens, and everything in between. There are members who race, and members who help at races. Some members prefer rallyes to gymkhanas, or scoring events over safety inspection, or sedans to roadsters. Some have new cars, some have old cars. It is this variety of people and ideas that make Lake Region interesting. It has been a club that does its thing because it wants to, not necessarily because "all the other clubs are doing it." As a result, members get exposed to or interested in virtually every aspect of motor sports. Over the past few years, Lake Region Sports Car Club members have run long and short rallyes, fast and slow gymkhanas, off-road events, ice races, weekend and campout events, dirt track time trials...all with their every day cars. They've had parties, visits from Santa Claus, rules changes, great after meeting movies and written opinions on g o v e r n m e n t l e g i s l a t i o n affecting automobiles and motor sports. New members are always welcome in LRSCC. We can promise a variety of activities, friendship and the best ice event in the area. If you're interested, call Ralph Grover.
