PAGE 6 - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY. AUGUST 15, 1973 "EARL WALSH- So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR--I When Father Starts .to Snore By Harold W. Nichols The supper dishes washed and dried. Ma starts in darnin' socks. Dad's in his rockin' chair an' reads. An' smokes his pipe, an' rocks. But pretty soon his rockin' stops An' then we hear a roar. Gee whiz! It's simply terribul When Father starts to snore. Ma says it sounds just like them guns That's boomin' out in France; But, anyway, he snores so hard The house just seems to dance. Sometimes he just breathes hard a spell An' then let's out a boom That seems to me will bust the walls Right out the settin'-room. Sometimes he'll almost choke to death, An jump an' snort an' shake; An' then we kids know right away Our dad is now awake. Says Ma, "Well, Pa, you was asleep." But Pa says, "No, sir-ee. I've just been readin' 'bout the war An' them new guns,* says he.' "1 guess you dreamed about them guns/' Says Ma an' winks at me, "An' tried to im-mer-tate their noise." But Father says, "Not me'" Then reads some more, but soon leans back. An' soon he shakes the door. On. goodness me! There's sure some noise • When Father starts to snore. Found the above in one of the many scrap books our mother kept. It dates back to World War One, but snoring covers a longer period. We are accused of sawing wood ourselves when sleep overtakes us. And sometimes we must run into a knot in the wood. A while ago we awakened from a nap in our chair &nd^ found our little granddaughter laughing. She said, "Grandpa, you were sleep talking". Our first question was, "Did grandma hear me?" We are catching up on publishing sports pictures. Had a couple of calls and had to explain there just wasn't space for all of them at one time. And, as previously explained, the Centennial pictures had to go first Sometimes a fellow gets an encouraging note like Lora Sprouse's niece, Nadine R. Bobbins, sent after our mention of her aunt in this column. Such nice notes give us a lift.

This year the team will play the McHenry Men's 16 Inch All-Stars in a benefit game. The game will be played under the lights at the V.F.W. Softball field beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19. There will be 4 innings of 12 inch and 4 innings of 16 inch. The A}l-Stars for 12 inch softball were chosen as follows: First T6am: Player Team Average Greg Freund House of David .549 Gary Schmitt Rusty Nail .450 Steve Rohrer House of David .511 John Connell Old Bridge .500 Gene Hester House of David .617 Tom Miller Swanson Chalet .558 Dave Sundby Old Bridge .518 Steve George House of David .547 John Johnston House of David .482 Dick Doherty Wetteland Decorating .450 Second Team: Steve Major Old Bridge .456 Paul Adams Swanson Chalet .566 Dennis Schmitt Rusty Nail .393 Judd Decker House of David .495 Matt Oik Old Bridge .418 Jerry Bellak Phillip's 66 .479 Bill Comstock Rusty Nail .410 Ed Kaminske S.P.A. .450 Gene Anderson Phillip's 66 .441 Gary Connell Old Bridge .585 1. No. 4 2. No. 1 3. No. 3 Mooring -- Tying up to another boat No advisable, but if you must, approach the other boat at about a 45 degree angle. Make sure the other boat knows of your intentions. Put fenders over the side, and station someone amidships to keep the boats slightly apart unitl they are securely lashed. Lash bow and stern together, leaving enough leeway so each boat can roll free of the other. Never lash two boats together when the sea is running high. Honorable Mentions: Pat McQueeney, Old Bridge; Norb Adams, Jack Adams and Bob Busse, Phillip's 66; Bob Dohr, S.P.A.; A1 Elliott and Len Ackermann, Rusty Nail; Joe Lafontaine, Wetteland Decorating; Bill Rudolph, Swanson Chalet. Special Mention: Ed Raske, Swanson Chalet. Before a motorcycle accident which injured both his legs Raske was batting .429 and playing his usual good defense in left field. Raske was an All-Star last year and will certainly be missed on this year's squad. Ed is currently making his home at Loyola University Medical Hospital in Maywood, Room 5405.

The win gives them the right to play first place House of David in the playoffs. Wetteland scored the winning after one out as John Little and Gary Snell hit successive singles and with runners on first and second Bryce Klontz delivered with a line hit over shortstop for the decisive blow.

Rusty Nail had won 3 games during the regular season from Old Bridge and knocked the Bridge out of a first place tie on the last day of the regular season. Looking back at last week's final score between the two teams, 24-23, one could expect just about anything to occur. Rusty Nail's leading hitter Len Ackermann was first up and he grounded to second base. The next two runners reached base on an error and a walk. With one out Dennis Sch- mitt popped up, an infield fly rule. A1 Elliot was caught off second base on the quick throw from Old Bridge shortstop Pat McQueeney to end the inning. Dave Sundby led the bottom half of the first with a single and scored moments latei* on Gary Connell's line homerun to right. After John Connell flew Wanted: DIRT - GREASE - GRIME • OF ALL KINDS! FILTH Dear Friends: An agressive young man has formed his own bus­ iness in your town! I could go on, and use old cliches, such as "Denny's my Name, and Dirt's my Game", but I intend on using no gimmicks, pressure or tricks of any kind to fool the public! My goals are straight-forward and to- the-point. When it comes to cleaning--just about any type of cleaning--you can count on it being done RIGHT TO YOUR SATISFACTION at DENNY'S! It will be easy to honestly say that all work done by Denny's Janitorial Service WILL PLEASE YOU! The reason I can say this is there is only one man in the firm from start to finish--who pledges never to leave a job until a customer is COMPLETELY SATISFIED. So, remember, for WINDOWS, FLOORS, CARPETS, WALLS, AND ANY OTHER TYPES OF CLEANING-- Call Denny's Janitorial Service. . . call anytime, and I'll be there when you need me! Sincerely, DENNY'S Janitorial Service 3212 BERGMAN DR. McHENRY, ILL. 815-459-1723 out to center Matt Oik blasted a homerun to left center. The first homerun was all they really needed as Old Bridge went on to win 11 to 1. Pat McQueeney, Sr., was on the mound for Old Bridge and deserves much of the credit-as Rusty Nail could manffge but six singles in 7 innings. The infield looked sharp even though there were 2 throwing errors and the outfield with Dave Sundby in charge caught anything that was hit on the fly. Sundby made another spec­ tacular running, diving shoestring catch-one of his specialties! Old Bridge scored three in the third inning on singles by Matt Oik and Pat McQufeeney, Jr.; a triple by Steve Salter drove in two and Frank Lorch's single scored Salter. Rusty Nail came back with their only run in the 4th on Dennis Schmitt's infield hit deep to short, reaching second on a bad throw by McQueeney who was off balance after making a great stop. Bill Comstock singled with two outs bringing in Sch­ mitt. The Bridge, holding a 6-1 lead, added 4 more runs in the bottom of the fourth on a leadoff double by Sundby, Gary Connell's single and brother John Connell's run scoring single. Matt Oik reached first on what should have bden a double play sending Gary Connell to third. Pat McQueeney singled in Connell and Steve Salter followed with another single driving in Oik. Frank Lorch grounded out but drove in McQueeney on the play. The final run came on Rich Hopper's single followed by Pete Smith's hit and Dave Sundby's sacrifice fly drove in Hopper. A last inning rally by Rusty Nail saw Gary Schmitt leadoff with a hit. A1 Thennes forced Schmitt but reached second on Leon Schmitt's pinch single. The next two batters flied out to the outfield to end the first game. ' \ Mueller Schmitt, D. Schmitt, G Comstock Thennes Schmitt, L. Bauer Lay Brown OLD BRIDGE Sundby Connei. G. Connell, J.
