PA OS 6 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1876 Clearing Off The Sports Desk EARL WALSH ~ So I Hear • ̂ s SPORTS EDITOR Saturday, Sept. 25,1976 Dear Earl: Just felt 1 had to drop you a line or two. Being Saturday, and tonight is Bill Veeck ap preciation night, I felt there are a few things to be said, t really believe he is entitled to this honor. He has put together a (baseball) team that many times has put on quite a show. Last night (Friday) he finally had a coach on first base that fit in with the rest of his team. I'm sure you are aware of who he had out there. Good old Max Patkin, the clown. He is probably right; if they play like clowns, let a clown coach. At least they won the game. Well, enough said for show biz. As Ever, Your Friend and Sympathizer, Larry Nimsgern Dear Larry: How lucky can I get. Having a friend and sympathizer wrapped into one brings moisture to my eyes. We should have had that clown on our team all summer, but couldn't get his release. He was a regular on the Cub team, playing under an assumed name. Thanks for writing. S.I.H. Bill Veeck has everybody on his side but the weatherman. Saw a woman flip the ashes off her cigarette onto the carpet in a nice restaurant (miles from McHenry). Suppose that's OK as long as she does the same thing at home. Didn't realize it hadn't rained for so many moons until Bob Blake walked out of church last Sunday, looked up at the un familiar drops and asked, "What is that?" The same old Richie Allen is in the news again. He refuses to play in the baseball playoffs unless his pal Tony Taylor is included. Now we read that Allen has gone to his home for a much needed rest while his team, the Phillies, play out the season. Wonder where he will be next year? I have said it before and say it again John Leighty's McHenry High School band, pom-pom girls and all the performers give me a great sense of pride. And, never sell those bouncy little cheerleaders short. Their hearts may be breaking when the home team is losing; but they never bog down. It's a major catastrophy when a woman goes to a party and bumps into another woman wearing the same dress. Why don't they compliment each other on their taste? A man can wear a blue suit and meet six other fellows with blue numers without blinking an eye. Am sure you won't miss that picture of Paul Overton and the Chicago Bull's new center, Ardis Gilmore. Bob O'Neill smiles every time he thinks of Gilmore. Says he never saw such a big man. With Scott May and the lanky Gilmore, the Bears look like a winner. PICKUPS: When you think it can't be done, stand back and watch the other fellow do it. Inflation is when, after you get the money to buy something, it isn't enough. Sign in a bank. "If your husband is losing interest, tell him to see us."

Early in the second half the Lake Forest team went ahead 1 to 0, but later in the period on a fine pass from Pat Stoffel, Sharon Smith scored the goal that tied the game. Neither team scored in the final minutes and the game was sent into overtime. Overtime or the tiebreaker as the girls call it, each team is allowed 5 players plus their goalie. Each player attempts a one on one shot with the goalie from 7 yards out. This shot can be anything but a drive. During this process the Lake Forest team scored two goals, Maywood Park will open its 1976 season Saturday night (Oct. 2) as Sportsman's Park closes on Friday night and the trotters and pacers move to the west suburban oval for a three month stand. Racing will be continuous with Maywood Park, the Egyptian Trotting Association and the Sun-Times-Daily News charity week bringing the season to its New Year's Eve windup. Wagering will center around 10 races nightly. Chicago, II., September 24, 1976...The muskie, king sport fish of the north, may make a comeback in northern Illinois waters through the cooperative efforts of the Illinois Depart ment of Conservation and Project Illini. An experimental stocking of 500 muskie fingerlings was made Wednesday at Cedar Lake in Lake Villa. If the stocking proves successful, Cedar Lake could be used as a brood source for future muskie stocking, said Department of Conservation fishery biologist Gary Erickson.

Tomorrow the Warriors will travel to Zion to take on the ZeeBees which will be another tough task for the Warriors. Playing Barrington and Zion back to back is like a college team taking on Michigan and Ohio State. It can be done, but it is asking quite a bit of a high school team. The defending champs the ZeeBees have let it be known that they are not about to go down without a fight for the conference title this season. Coach Leroy Cliff's eleven are paced by quarterback Jim Shanazarian, a flanker back on last seasons championship team. Running back Amos Taylor is currently leading the conference in scoring, and is a threat anytime he handles the ball. These two lads along with eleven other lettermen make up a portion of the ZeeBee squad. Like the Broncos the ZeeBees are not too big, but make up for it in speed and agility. The Warriors on the other hand have nothing to lose, but a lot to gain with a win tomorrow. They looked great at times on defense, if only the offense would begin to click, this Warrior team could make plenty of trouble in the North Suburban. They cut down on their mistakes last Saturday at Barrington, but alas a penalty at the wrong time, gave the Broncos an opportunity, which they seized to score their third touchdown. The Warriors are improving with every game, and one of these days, are going to make some one sit up and take notice. The crystal ball went 4 for 5 last weekend, Zion defeating Lake Forest putting the crack in it. This week I'll pick the ZeeBees over the Warriors, they have too many horses for the Warrior to corral. The Tigers with an easy win over Crown, Lake Forest to beat Mundelein, Maine North to win over North Chicago, and in the game of the day, Barrington to defeat Libertyville. There are few changes in the 1976-77 waterfowl hunting regulations, but this year's fall flight of ducks may not match last year's better-than-average flight. The regulations, adopted by the Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and published in the September 7, 1976, Federal Register, are based on scientists' predictions of the number of ducks and geese flying south this autumn. Hunting of brant in the Atlantic Flyway will be closed because of poor production and marginal population levels. In all flyways using the point system, the point value for redhead ducks, except in closed areas, is reduced from 100 to 70. The canvasback point value remains at 100 except in closed areas. In the Central Flyway there is a reduction of the basic daily bag limit on ducks hunted under conventional regulations from 6 to 5, only one of which may be a female mallard. The 1975 duck breeding population index for surveyed areas was 38.6 million, down 9 percent from 1975 and 3 percent from the 1955-75 average. Substantial increases in breeding populations were recorded in northern Saskat chewan, Manitoba, and Min nesota. A small increase was recorded in Alaska. Substantia] decreases occurred in northern Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and North and South Dakota. The number of ponds where ducks nest and breed in May declined appreciably from 1975. This year's decreases in breeding ducks and ponds were partially offset by an early nesting season and by better than expected summer water conditions. However, other than for mallards which in creased production over last year, it is expected that fall flights of ducks will be smaller than those of 1975. Northwestern Athletes To Speak At F.C.A.

Your Turn As his harried wife tried with little success to settle their infant twin daughters for the night, the young husband loudly voiced his total opposition to women's lib eration. "I don't know why the women are complaining any way," he said. "It's as true to day as it ever was: 'The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.'!" "Oh?" wondered his wife from the nursery. "Then why don't you come in here and rule the world for awhile, I'm exhausted!"
