PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY Al'GL ST 11 . 197" EARL WALSH So I Hear FOR MEN ONLY: It is hard to believe all the research money that has been set up for such studies as the habits of grasshoppers, behavior of teenagers, behavior of old fuddy-duddies, and the eating habits of chickadees. But. now hear this! A lump of money is going to be spent on a program to study women. It 's a losin' fight, men. In years past, our idea of a snack was two scrambled eggs over a slice of buttered home made bread. Then some killjoy came along to warn us about the effects of eggs on our cholesterol count. The Sib Whitings toured in to Wrigley Field Monday and saw pitcher Steve Stone lose a hit because he used a bat with pine tar in the wrong places. Steve pleaded innocence -- as innocent as a baby spill ing his spinach from his high chair to the carpet. But. i t takes a hard heart to _SP0RTS EDITOR J take a hit away from a pitcher with a 148 batting average. Modern musicians come up with "hew twists to songs of yesteryear in a Little Spanish Town Twas on a Night Like This" came over the air waves this week like a jumpy Fox Trot It was so bad that we didn't recognize the beautiful old number. They might have been playing Jingle Bells for all we knew Somehow we couldn't take in the many ball games of various groups this summer as plan­ ned But, last week came a note from Pat Wirtz asking us to come to the game Tuesday night between the 16" Softball All-Stars and the 12" Softball All-Stars. So. we put it on the calendar and took in the game. B e r n i e K l a p p e r i c h challenged the 12" Stars and got a suprise that you can read in the separate report. Many of the players have acquired bread baskets, but move fast in this fast game. When they pick up a grounder, they fire it hard. You should have seen the crowd' Looked like more than Abe Gibron's Winds drew in Soldier Field Saturday night. Batters have to t ime those slow, submarine pitches. It really is a hitter 's game. They don't strike out. The Stars played the first four innings with the 16 inch ball Then came the 12 inch and -- boom - boom! Over the fence. It was a fun game with both sides playing to win. Watching the game under lights and seeing the crowd that turned out made us wonder where county baseball would be today if somebody had been able to put up proper lighting. We arrived home in t ime to see the finish of a 11 inning game in which the White Sox edged the New York Yankees 7- 6. The end of a perfect day. McHenry Women's Golf Invitational Long months of laboring for the love of the game of golf brought into fruition one of the finest women's amateur tournaments ever to have been held in the northern Ill inois area. Played at McHenry Country club on Thursday and Friday, the first annual McHenry Women's Invitational opened under cloudy skies but fine playing conditions, Beginning at 7:30 a.m. a number of the state 's leading women amateurs participated in the 36-hole, two-day event. Among them were Kathv Sharpenter from Big Foot, Wis., leading Ill inois champion and Paula Shearer, Ill inois State Amateur Cahmpion in 1971 and 1972. With the regular flags replaced by those of shocking pink satin and green lace, the scoreboard done in pink and green, and the members of the committee who ran the tour­ nament in pink and green floral skirts, the golf course was a veritable vision of beauty. Even a number of the male members of the club donned pink helmets, green shirts and white slacks and acted as rangers to keep the game going smoothly. Added to the sar­ torial splendor was the fact that some mighty excellent golf was displayed even though a stiff breeze was in existence both days. The first day found Paula Shearer of Mt. Prospect shooting a 79 for low medalist with Kathy Sharpenter of Big Foot shooting an 81. The second day Paula held on to the lead totalling a 162. Char McLear of Biltmore came from down on the list to card a total of 165 and take second place, while Kathy totalled a 166 for third place Also in Championship flight were Nell Frewin of Mau-Na- Tee-See.
