r PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 197f YMCA Plans Day Camp At Thunderbird Farm f EARL WALSH i.i SPORTS EDITOR J Here is an unsigned con­ tribution from a mixed up Cub fan: Truly a Cub fan am I As I keep one eye On that long, long fly But I really can't lie I'll be watching the White Sox From the corner of the other eye. Dear "Cub Fan Am I": Maybe you should wear goggles. The speedy Sox will be kicking up so much dust on the base paths this season it will look like a tornado sweeping through. Better keep both eyes on the Sox. S.I.H. The ranks of Mc Henry's real Old Timers is getting thin. Went to Gertie Miller's wake Sunday night. She was near 86 years of age--and that goes back a spell in McHenry's history. Gertie was one of the Riverside Drive Engelns before and some time after she married Fred Miller. Gertie was always nice to meet. Through our father's friendship with that Riverside Drive (at one time named Water Street) group, we always felt a certain bond of friend­ ship. Yep. The ranks are thinning and as "Schmaltz" Miller and Pete Rothermel have reminded us, "We are getting to be the Old Timers".

HALF-PAST TEEN MOON ROCKS . .. Hi* two moon-exploring crewmen of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission show off some of the largest of the lunar rocks they collected on their mission. Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, left points toward some walnut and potato-size rocks while Astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr., commander, stands near a large basketball-size sample, said to be the largest of all rocks brought back on three Apollo lunar landing missions. A wise child resembles wealthy, aged relative. Harmony Snowmobile Club Elects Officers From Scottsdale, Arizona comes a brochure on the Chicago Cubs. The cover reads, "Compliments of Bill DeVries and Joe Whalen". It is something we have always wanted. Scottsdale really went all out. It is a classy book with pictures of Cub players and their records. Thought at first they had stolen the Sox slogan. Second look and it is "Go Cubs". The Sox slogan is, "Go-Go". The Harmony Snowmobile Club on March 19th, elected its new officers for the 71-72 season. The club meets on >Pistakee Bay the 1st and 3rd Fridays during the winter months and the 1st Friday only during the summer. The club has a membership of 40 families with its aims being good, wholesome fun through safety and consideration of other people's property.

Thatcher Jr., Executive Petty Officer of Coast Guard BOSDET 09-1, Fox Lake, Illinois Jim was raised in Edwards- sville, Illinois, a town not too far froni St. Louis, Missouri. He obtained mostof his early experience 1>n the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. After high school, he began his college training at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., where he attended for 2 years before transferring to Southern Illinois university. At Southern he completed his degree requirements, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in March 1968, with a Major in Psychology and a Minor in Sociology. While at Creighton university, Jim became, and remains, a member in good standing with the Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity. Jim enlisted in the Coast Guard on April 1, 1968, and served his basic training at Alameda, Calif. After basic he was assigned to Search gnd Rescue Chicago, where he served as a crew member on the various rescue boats. He advanced to the rank of Seaman while at Chicago Station. Later in the same year, Jim was given the task of assisting the BOSDET in set­ ting up a Boating Safety Center in Diversey Harbor, Chicago, and fit in so well that the Of­ ficer in Charge requested that he be permanently transferred to the BOSDET. There, Jim became the first non-petty officer to serve with a BOSDET After a year of in­ tensive law enforcement training, Jim achieved the rank of BM3, and became a fully qualified Boarding Officer. Thanks, Bill and Joe. How did you ever tJiink of S.I.H. way out there in the west? Herb Reihansperger toured out to look over the Cubs and reports that he can't see how they can lose a game all season. He'll see! The Cubs beat the Sox in the rubber game. Everybody and his brother gave us the laugh. BY PETE FRITCHIE Washington, D.C. -- Viewing the recent Fraziei^Ali fight objectively, and in retrospect, it seems Frazier won because of one thing: guts. The sus­ picion has long been that Mu- hammid Ali doesn't like to get belted. Nothing wrong with that, in one sense but there have been times when Ali was ready to quit in panic, as in the first Liston fight. He probably devel­ oped his great speed and leg work to enable him to escape the punishmentclumsierfighters must absorb. He used the excellent foot­ work to avoid being hammered very hard in most of his fights ena' it,combined with his admit­ ted punching ability, made him the world champion. But in meeting really tough hitters, if Ali can't avoid the hammering, it seems he looses some of his bravado. Frazier, as films of the fight show, waded in and took every­ thing Ali threw at him, and absorbed a battering from Ali's fine left. One doubts if Ali would have persevered in the face of such punishment. And when Frazier got to him good, Ali lost most of his b o u n c e , o f t e n f o r s e v e r a l rounds, jpfc inevitable conclu­ sion is^ that Frazier 'won the fight because he had the guts, while Ali was inwardly fearful- as in his first fight with Liston. One of the pleasures of retirement is absence of hurry. You also wonder why you ever did. ciTiHep's WA t \ U V e V T E p I H mm F . W . T M A V € ^ ( SPORTSfXORNERf 1,1 Time marches on. The Aga­ tha Shop on Green Street has changed hands. Ethel Jones, who was Miss Jones to one and all, operated the gift shop with sweet dignity and grace for many years. After her brother, Vaughn, and his wife, Daisy, took over the store, Miss Jones still came back occasionally to meet and greet old friends. We visited her recently. She now gets about in a wheel chair, but is still the same "Miss Jones". As the comedians say, "You don't hardly find her kind no more". When the Officer in Charge was transfered and the new OIC took over the BOSDET, Jim was appointed Executive Petty Officer, and shortly after achieved the rank of BM2-D2. Jim is due for discharge jon March 31, 1972, and expects to return to school to receive a law degree. He may be contacted for Boating information at: U.S. Coast Guard, BOSDET 09- 1, 17 S.
