It was our Girl Friday (Marie) with the query, "Are you sitting down?" . y Assured that we were sittin' and feeling strong, Marie asked if we had heard the news.What news? It was about the White Sox. That was the first we knew of Eddie Stanky being replaced by Al Lopez as manager of the Sox. Later a call came from Jim Mclntee, who was happy as a lark about the Sox change. Jim then started to tell us what the Cubs should do so we told him to call Herb Reihansperger a- Sporis Editor ^ bout that problem. We have no idea what the managerial change will do for the Sox. Stanky never called us for advice. We'll see what Lopez will do. We do know the White Sox need a shot in the arm or wherever the shot will do the most good. While buying popcorn to pay off our bet on the Ail-Star game we met Junior Freund and his wife (we like her!). Junior said he hadn't called us lately' cause he knew we had our problems (Hi the soutli side. Now, wasn't that nice of him. They had a singing group on TV last week known as the "K.A.F." group. Hifey played rock and roll and assured (me and all they can read notes. When asked what "K.A.F." meant, the spokesman said, "Kats are fun?1\ So many people have wondered. SUDDEN THOUGHT - Remember way back when every kitchen had a roller towel, often hung on the bade of the door? If sometimes through this week we think our schedule is too busy, we will stop and think of Frank Low, chairman of the Marine Festival. Frank is a veteran on the job, but the job is big. As we sat on the Snug Harbor porch last Sunday, watching all the boats go by, Mrs. Wally Aeverman came to our table and let us know the Cubs were winning 1-0. She knew we would be glad to hear. Sure -- We want both Chicago teams to keep winning and play each other in the WorldSeriessome year.

No Fall In Illlid Teal is This Year Springfield, 111., July 10 -- Illinois waterfowlers will not have the opportunity of hunting teal in September as they have had the past three years, according to the Illinois Department of Conservation. . Hie special season has been discontinued in the Mississippi and Central Flyways by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, U.S. Department of the Interior. According to the bureau, the hunter's inability to recognize teal in flight was a major reason for the action. In 1967, 47 percent of the observed hunting parties who had an opportunity to do so shot at ducks other than teal. Observation by personnel of the Illinois Department of Conservation paralleled those of the federal agency. Many conservation officers claimed that at least half of the hunters in the early season shot at illegal ducks. The woodduck, the only duck that nests in great numbers in Qlinois, took the brunt of the misdirected fire. Another reason for discontinuing the season is that there was an unusually heavy kill of green-winged teal last year. Futhermore, numbers ofbreeding teal are much lower and the habitat is in poor condition. Dr. John S. Gottschalk, director of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, said an added recreational opportunity was provided by the September teal season and that efforts would be made to make early teal seasons feasible in the future.
