Sweetness ponders a bad EARL WALSH ...but... an eight-iron chop to the green ...leaves... a good chance for a bird ...which... turned out a bit sour. So I Hear Sitting at the breakfast table Tuesday morning, with the temperature in the 80's and headin' for 90, I flipped on the radio and out came the song "I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas." Couldn't believe it. Thought sure the heat had gotten to me. Whoever wrote that stage play "Damyankees" must have had that Yankee baseball team in mind. Those pin-striped devils beat our White Sox three straight and made us wonder if they aren't the best team in the game today. Don't ever get the idea that I am a Yankee lover, but must admit it was a case of separating the men from the boys when those veteran stirs-showed our young Sox how the game should be played. Most teams would like to take the Yankee bench as a , nucleus of a team. Just look at the ex-White Sox on that team: Jim Spencer, Oscar Gamble, Bucky Dent, Eric Soderhomn and Goose Gossage. Maybe some day a multi­ millionaire will buy the Sox franchise and be able to match dollars with those wealthy owners. Small cars have come a long way.7 During the first ride I had in one of them some years ago, the little bug sounded like a coffee grinder and rode like a lumber wagon. Eddie Bimbo has given up on the Cubs. In fact, he thinks both Chicago teams should be sold for a bag of peanuts. We White Sox fans have learned to sing that old refrain "Wait until next year". I vowed not to print any more of those songs, but here is another version of "A Good Man" for Leo Heimer to look over. A Good Man's Hard To Find They say a good man is hard to find. You always get the other kind. Just when you think you've found a pal, You turn around and find him "flirten" with another gal. Then you rave, and then you crave to see this guy down in his grave. So if your man's real nice, take my advice. Love him every morning, kiss him every night, Give him all the love he needs, treat him right, Because a good man now-a- days is hard to find. Dear Earl, "I don't only know it, I can sing it, too. "Luck, "Juanita (Wilkes)" When I get around to staging a recital, Juanita, you will be on the list. Going through a stack of papers, I found a shortie on the Playmate song written by Carol Humann. Sorry about that, Carol. Do you sing? You must have noticed. If a man has only one button on his shirt unbuttoned, he is an old timer. Never hear any big fish stories anymore. Mostly bottle bass. Ain't nature grand! All this talk about energy saving and along comes a hot, dry spell. No lawn mowing. If that isn't Energy saving, you tell me one. Before going to press, let us pause to reflect further on nature. The winds came during the night to trim our trees. No energy wasted in trimming. Picking up the branches is another story. Time marches on and I agree with Jo Ann Hut­ chinson that summer seems to go down hill right after the Fourth of July. Divot Dolls At MCC Youth All-Stars ANNUAL HULLABALLOO DAY Missing Vfednesday morning's storm by some 20 hours the ladies and their guests frolicked and gam­ boled all over the golf course and club house in the annual Hullaballoo Day event at McHenry Country club. Over one hundred women turned out to celebrate "Women's Lib", the theme for this year's play day, guided by the Letty Busscher-Lynn Schmidt committee. Although it was ex­ cruciatingly hot and long in playing, most of the women made it through 18 holes, comforted somewhat with ice-packed towels. Those sturdy enough to take a little more of the heat par­ ticipated in crazy putting while the rest made a hasty retreat for the coolness of the club house and the card tables. Following a sumptuous dinner and awarding of prizes to many of the en­ trants, the women were regaled by a comic version of the Sugar Shack,' presented by some of tty more virile young Adonis of the club. For those nof\ prostrated by the near-100 degree heat it was a dif­ ferent kind of fun day and the committee members are to be commended for their ingenuity and endeavor. Next week it will\Be back to routine golf with- a Best Ball Aggregate for the 18- holers and Carefree golf for the Nifty Niners. Til then, Happy Golfing!
