PAGE6- PLA1XPEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15. 1977 EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR The road 10 me Koyal Scot Farm, north from Barnard's Mill, isn't long and the end of the trail is sheer delight Have travelled Tryon Grove road many a time without realizing that a beautiful horse farm was just down the pike a ways -- Kentucky in our own back yard The occasion was a Preview Party for the Great American Horse Show coming to not-so- far Northbrook July. 13-17. The first person we met was Mrs Donald (Marge) Fergusson. owner of the whole shebang And what a gracious hostess! A truly fine lady A large delegation of sharp gals from the Infant Welfare Society of Evanston were pleasant to meet and greet. The Evanston organization is sponsoring the Great American as a benefit for infants enjoying loving care Mrs Fergusson's daughter. Jeanne Pettry. gave a demonstration of expert hor­ semanship Then Mom showed us how she will drive in the big show Bonnie Byrne is the trainer She knows a thing or two about horses and how to get them ready for the big shows. Bonnie's father was a trainer so she is doing what comes naturally. After graduating Lom college, she taught school for a year then changed to the work she loves best We didn't object when somebody announced that a tempting lunch was spread out for the guests. Lunch! It turned out to be a meal - all home cooked Our diet got a setback). We have ticket applications with prices not too high. This Great American will be a class show, high class If you have seen topnotch horse shows, you won't need urging to attend. If you haven't seen such shows, now is a good chance to see the best Our visit to Royal Scot Farm was one of our best days of the season Read separate story for details of the show. It wouldn't be hard to com­ pile a long list of ideas readers give us for this column. Trouble is most of them are little things that could start big wars. One fellow asks what to do about people who listen as he does his best to explain truths, then gets the answer. "Ya- But". When in doubt, punt. Evelyn Hans nearly flipped when I remarked that the Cubs are going great. Had to assure her that being nice was just a temporary state of mind. Another wedding an­ niversary came and went at the Walsh house. After early Mass and a few prayers for a healthy year ahead, we set the compass toward Murphy's Corner in beautiful downtown Volo. Tom and Nora set up a break­ fast for us that perked us up for the day. That's a fun place. Quite a crowd and all were happy as Tom's chatter kept everybody in a good mood. A great way to start a day. Chapel Hill Golf A welcome to Roger Ludwig who is doing a bang up job assisting John Bolton in the Pro shop.

Both games were a "hitter's delight" as the two best hitting clubs in the league combined for 87 hits and 55 runs in the doubleheader. In game one Old Bridge used their typical 'come from behind tactics' as they fell behind 10-0 and then stormed back with 11 runs in the final 3 innings. Joe Dehn,'represen­ ting the tying run at second base in the final inning, found himself stranded as the final batter grounded out. Old Bridge on the short end 17-16. In game two O'Brewery held an 11-3 lead after four innings and again held on to win 12-10. O'Brewery had 46 hits in the two games and now sports a 7 game win streak after an opening day loss to Rusty Nail. The Brewery will be at­ tempting to run their string to nine straight when they meet The Chalet this Wednesday at East in another important doubleheader for both clubs. The Chalet had two wins over McHenry Hospital last Wed­ nesday, holding on to a 14-12 win in game one. The Hospital had the tying run on base and only one out when a doubleplay stopped the last inning rally. Game two was all The Chalet and Billy Meyers 4 homeruns as the Hospital went down 15-3 in five innings. Rusty Nail took two from Rhino's by scores of 14-4 and 15- 4. Mark Bentz of Rhino's hit one of the longest homeruns this season which nearly cleared the fence at the tennis courts in game one. The two relatively easy wins for the Nail made it 5 wins in a row improving their record to 6-2. This Wednesday they meet McHenry Hospital at West Campus in a doubleheader. St. Regis took a pair from Indian Manor, 15-11 and 14-13. In game two Regis had to fight back from a 12-1 deficit, scoring 2 runs in the seventh to tie the score and then one run in the extra inning on a hit by Jerry Brodin to climax a big night for the winners. For Indian Ridge Manor the twin loss added to the frustration of their current 2-6 won-loss record. Indian Manor, although 5 games out, is still very much in the race for a playoff berth and cannot be written off. St. Regis will meet old Bridge in a big doubleheader behind the tennis courts at West Campus this Wednesday. It will be interesting to see if Old Bridge bounces back and if St. AWAY FRY WEDNESDAY EVENING JUNE 22 STEAK & TRIMMINS *FREE BEER* $050 PER PERSON BSSSScT--ttMITED RESERVATIONS: 85* COCKTAIL CALL 385-9860 AFTER 6 PM COT™7™ MCHENRY V.F.W.

Although primarily a long distance runner. Mclnerney became the top miler when injuries sidelined the first three early in the season "John had to step in when everyone fell by the wayside, and he was a pleasant surprise.
