Clearing Off The Sports Desk Soph Nine Defeats i Wauconda High 6-4 The likes o' Dave Kent say the Sox got lucky. That's OK. We'll take that kind of luck all season. Must console our Cub lovers that luck was against them. As Sunday fades away, the Cubs have won a game while the Sox were shut out by Boston's Lefty Lee. That little note should cheer the north side booster club. Sports writers keep trying to get the late Hack Wilson's name in baseball's hall of fame. So far no luck. Younger sports fans might ask, "Who was Hack Wilson?" The pudgy one played center field for the Chicago Cubs - all Ave feet, six inches of him at 190 pounds. In 1930 Wilson hit 56 homers, batted .356 and drove in 190 runs. Just imagine, 190 runs! Many believe this record will never be broken. That was Hack Wilson. And to think that nowadays a .240 hitter becomes a free agent and has his lawyer or agent negotiate a huge contract. Enjoyed Camelot on opening night at the Woodstock Opera House. Producer Frank Harrison and his staff went all out to make this a fine performance under the direction of Sandra Smith. There is talent in that group with great voices. Must say the musicians had me turning down my hearing Ever since we saw the Crystal Lake snorkel in action here when the Regner building burned, it has struck us that our area fire department should have one some day. There seems to be a lot of money floating around these days. Maybe a snorkel fund is not out of the question. IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS - If you bought a dozen doughnuts, Bertha Jager would give you an extra one for good measure. If you bought a new suit of clothes, Ray McGee would give you a necktie to wear with it. If a storekeeper weighed your purchase of candy, he would drop in an extra piece to make you feel good. If a kid bought an ice cream cone from "Canopy John" Karls, he got a little extra on the top. When you ate lunch at the Karls restaurant and stopped to pay your check, the same John would say, "If it wasn't for the overhead, I wouldn't charge you a cent." * When I took tickets for the wrestling show at the American Legion Carnival on Green St., I lifted the tent flap so a group of young boys could get in free. The show manager gave me some dirty looks that I didn't see. John J. Bolger slipped under the flap quicker than any of them. If you bought a pound of baloney, the butcher would slice off a hunk for you to eat right there -- and the cracker barrel wasn't covered. If you paid your grocery bill at the end of the month, the storekeeper sent a bag of candy home for the kids. The good old days. They weren't all bad.
