Bolger, l«ee Cooney, Marty Foley, Jack Walsh--yes, and two ffrla, Mary Ann Bolger and Julia Foley) into the family jae-bofgy and headed for the ball fame at Richmond. It was a divided crowd in our ear. Stone were Cub fans, flame were Sox fans. Bat make no mistakeall wen Shamrock fans! Our gang was happy as yon please £* the Shamrocks held a lead going into the third inning. Then the rains fame and stayed too long. lit was a disappointed group that wfe piloted back home, but thoughts of another trip helped keep up their spirits. Our gang didn't think much of the Richmond diamond with its rollercoaster outfield. Thought their own diamond out in Cooney's bade lot had it all over the Richmond lay-out. They should have been following games back in the days when outfielders had to trot over the hears to catch a fly hall in Relihan's And that pasture diamond at the top of Knox's Hill was no bargain either. , A &all hit toward the North might easily land dewn near the "Township slough." Johnny Miller had a nice, chummy diamond on his farm, but old time Johnsburg players will tell you of jumping the fence into the hog pen or cow yard to chase a fly ball. Maybe you think that wasn't tricky business! iter tesshatl play**, _ was quick to rib us tint H was Just a hint for. the Shamrocks to give us a uniform and first baseman's mitt--And Mniment!

Don't know if we're getting used to- those new numbers or just got plain scared. *" Anyhow, here's a hat story that ' just caught up to us. Our "Brenda Starr" and her mother Visited the Romeiser home at Pistakee Bay some time ago and "Brenda" wore one of those little beanies on the back of her head. It woulAj't have made much difference bu,t*$hfe took it off and hung it on a hook. Along came her mother to hang a full-size number over ^the beanie. . Lo and behold, when it was time to depart nobody could find the beanie. The search was futile and mystery surrounded the disappearance when "Brenda's" mother decided to readjust her own bonnet. Yep. She had two so-called hats on her head-- her own with the beanie for a lining. • I thought it nice to be married, Then I thought It nice to be free, - So I took to the tife of a hobo, Then a palace looked better to me.

And from George Kramer: "Don't run with a slipping cluch. Simple adjustments are always provided and taking up a notch or two will save the year." And from Pete Seyl, Jr.: "Old plugs in a motor spell poor economy. A good fat spark from a clean new plug with the right gap will cut down fuel cost and improve engine pery formance."
