EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ With high salaries, fringe benefits and a top pension plan after 10 years (not 25 as in other lines of endeavor), the players may lay an egg by going on strike. Never a doubt. Thornridge wis the best basketball team in the state tournament. It must be a coach's dream to have a group like that to direct. Peoria Manual looked like the team to reach the finals, but the going gets tough when you get into the select group. The Easter bunny and the baseball season are getting closer. Baseball is supposed to be a sport - not a business. We dunno. Pro sports look like business - big business. The ordinary guy, the sports fan, is the one who pays the freight. From all reports, it doesn't seem like Richie (call me Dick) Allen has endeared himself to the fans 6y refusing to report to training camp for a salary well over a hundred grand. (How much is that?) Call him Richie, Dick or Richard. A rose by any other name -- Not a chance of the bunny going on strike, but the baseball players might Give him to the Cubs He'll HARVARD THEATRE 21 23 N. AVER ST.

St Patrick's Day was great. You should have seen the way our Co-workers decorated the office to greet us Friday morning. More green than you would see on the Emerald Isle. But you didn't see anything if you didn't see Harry Conway dressed in green from hat to socks. The Raquet club soon to open for the residents of the nor­ thwest communities in McHenry County, will offer play during the winter months for those died-in-the-wool tennis players as well as lessons for the beginner. Manager Chuck Schunk has assured the founders of the club that a complete program for tennis will be of prime im­ portance to the operation of the club Other features that will assist the tennis players to keep fit are the sauna, whirlpool bath, and exercise room which are planned for the club. Membership brochures are being completed and will be mailed to prospective members in the next few weeks. In­ formation may be obtained by writing The Raquet Club, P.O. Box 405, Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 or by calling 815-459-4151. The location of the club, Route 31, just north of the cut­ off road or Virginia road in­ tersection, is accesible from McHenry in just about 10-15 minutes. Residents of Wood­ stock can reach the club in about the same amount of time. Other locations in the county are a mere few minutes from the club. It's a great day for the Irish. King for a day - then back to normal. Horse Show At Marengo Sunday Met Grandma Blondy Sunday night but didn't have time to talk baseball. She's a White Sox fan, you know. Eddie Pieroni gave us a hat for next St. Patrick's Day. We'll give it tender care. Missed the Bimbo corned beef and cabbage party. Must mark that down in coming events of '73. Local American Legion baseball is in the organization stages for the coming season. Any boy who will reach his 19th birthday after Aug. 1, 1972, is eligible to play Contact Joe Stanek at 385- 5055 or at 385-7131. The Legion baseball players will work and help purchase equipment by selling peat moss. Watch for this. You can use the peat moss and the team can use the profits.

Rick Bielski of Woodstock contributed 106 points to the Scots cause and was probably the most im­ proved player on the squad. Miller and Kinter saw little game action but contributed greatly to the success of the team. Bruce Harbecke was named all conference center and led the team in scoring with 497 points and rebounds with 301. Joe Dehn was the third leading scorer with 202 points and was an outstanding ball handler. Mark Hayes contributed 186 points and was the second leading rebounder with 203. Dennis May, although used mainly in a reserve role did start several games when in­ juries took their toll of regular starters. He led the team in field goal accuracy with a 52.9 per cent average from the field. The latter four players are being counted on to form the nucleus of the 1972-73 squad for Bob Matte's Fighting Scots. Little League Of The Lakes Due to a rather poor turnout for our baseball registration we will be holding another registration at the Island Lake Grade School, March 25, from 9 a.m. till 12 noon. Parents or guardians must sign the registration forms. All boys, both new and previous players, must register. This will be for all three divisions (minor, Little and Senior league). Our season starts May 14, so get this little matter taken care of. Squelched Irate Woman (at drygoods counter)~"If I were trying to match politeness I'd have a hard time finding it here."

C.-The recent pro football draft showed clearly that most pro teams are shying away from over-publicized quar­ terbacks and possible trou­ ble makers. Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan of Au­ burn wasn't picked until the 40th choice and much-bal- lyhooded Ed Marinaro of Cornell didn't go until the 50th pick. Even more significant, F l o r i d a ' s J o h n R e a v e s , whom all agreed to have great passing talent, was passed over by three clubs with quarterback problems and finally chosen, in the 14th selection, by the Phil­ adelphia Eagles. Unquestionably, the dis- sention and celebrity behav­ ior of the Florida players in 1971 soured many on that team. Pro clubs aren't look­ ing for youngsters who al­ ready think they can tell their shcools and the nation how things should be run., L i n e m e n w e r e f i r s t choices in the recent draft and most of the first selec­ tions came from non-south­ ern schools. Only six of the first 26 selections were players at Dixie schools! Nearly True Customs officer: "Lady you said this bag contained clothes, but i t 's full of brandy."

Baseball Again ^rom spring training camps--before spring-now comes welcome news about the Major League baseball teams and their players. Baseball is back after departing from sports pages, generally, since the October World Series. The year 1972 is expected to see no further expansion but it's rumored next year the National League will add two more clubs--Washington and Toronto. After that the Ameri­ can League may or may not expand. Miami and New Orleans have been mentioned as possible sites, as well as other cities outside the South. Baseball is still considered the National Pastime, and for good reason. It is a game of skill, timing and speed, and psychology and strategy are also important parts of the game. The democratic features of baseball are many: players need not be monsters, physically; each player has an equal chance to excell, offensively; violence and physi­ cal intimidation are a relatively small consideration in the game, the emphasis is, rather, on skill, timing and physi­ cal conditioning, etc. Exhibition games will already have begun when some read this editorial. The Major League season opens the first week in April. It ends October 4th, after which the playoffs and then the World Series will be held. Counting exhibition play, the baseball season lasts seven and a half months, and the present time of year is that of the rosiest forecasts and highest hopes from most camps!
