PAGE 6 - PLA1NDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30. 1977 EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR John Looze phoned to say that as he toured through Beautiful Downtown Volo he noticed the high sign at Mur­ phy's Corner carrying a message about Fox Hole Evo. "Red" and you know who being White Sox fans. White Sox fame spreads to all corners. Even into Lake County. Somebody surely tipped Ernie Banks off about our Sox leanings. When we shook his hand at the Tiger benefit ^breakfast Sunday morning, he let us have it right away. Of course, we sparred back with the ever likeable 01' Ernie before we left. 'Twas all in fun. Ernie is going to send us a Cub schedule and put us on the mailing list to receive issues of Cub News. Now we're getting someplace. The grapevine tells us that A1 Baur was the one who sent us Cub propaganda from Scott- sdale. Isn't he a Sox fan° There has been a great swingover since the Chicago Bulls went on a winning spree. Now the sports writers are singing the praises of that great team. When they had illness and injuries and couldn't win for losin', those same writers had no mercy. • Even the coach is OK now. dt's the old story. You have to have the horses. Ever notice that no two people walk alike0 Some are pacers. Some are trotters. Some have their own style. Many grow up with walks much like one of their parents. There are plenty of TV program listings. Where do you find them for radio? A busy Sunday schedule didn't end in time for us to take in more on our list. ' The way the Boy Scouts conducted themselves at their "Chili Dinner" was something to behold. As people entered the door, !the boys hung up their coats, ;then escorted them to their 'tables. The boys held chairs to •seat the ladies -- true gen­ tlemen. ; The uniformed Scouts served • their patrons like they had been ^practicing the art. ; It was very nice. I From there we headed for ^Woodstock to see South Pacific •in the refurbished Opera • House. f m ' There was a world of talent in •that cast.

BASEBALL » • » By Pete Fritchie LAKELAND-Ralph Houk was talking about the 1977 season, watching his Tigers prepare to take on the Boston Red Sox. "I think it's still possible to field a winning team with players who came up through the farm system, who aren't superstars. I think you can build a winner even if you haven't millions for free agents. "This year should be bet­ ter for the Tigers. Last year with half a dozen major in­ juries we won seventeen more games than in 1975. If we come up with another good pitcher from our farm clubs this year, as we did with Mark Fidrych, we could be in it. "We've got some good hit- ters--Staub, Horton, LeFlore, young Jason Thompson', Oglivie, we thint Steve Kemp may be great. May, etc. If we get some pitching, this team could stir up our division race. ' 'The Yankees are favorites and Boston is also strong. That Bill Campbell the Sox got from Minnesota will help a lot. They lost many a lead last season in the late innings. "We have high hopes for Dave Rozema, who had a 1.57 earned run average at Mont­ gomery last year. If he comes through, and he's got confi­ dence and doesn't walk peo­ ple, pitching might carry us a long way."

Bob Bitterman and "Butch" Pintozzi. Coach Gray commented that, "we should surprise some teams later in the season after we gain some experience". He went on to add, "the boys have been working hard".
