PAGE 6 - PLAINDE ALEE - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13,1979 EARL WALSH' So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR Ed and Gladys Doyle came out of the west to visit the old home town. True to form, Ed went around the neighborhood to stir things up, have a good laugh, then heard north to visit the Harry Stillings. To cop things off, Ed left notes on Hanford's and our door before he Ifet. On our door, he left the following: "You know if you only knew which ball team was the best, you wouldn't be such a bad guy" The Cub-Sox feud will never die. At the Longhorn, where it is easy to talk to people and the personnel is first class, it was our pleasure to team up with Jerry and Louise Miller. Jerry really came over to let me know he has been reading between the lines in S.I.H. and thought I was worried about the Cubs. Oh, I have been! With soothing assurance, Jerry told me his team will finish way up there. (Yeah -- like a balloon). Now my sleepless, troubled nights have ended with Jerry's help. Whom should we meet but the jovial mayor of Beautiful Downtown Volo, Tom Murphy, on our way out. That capped a delightful evening. Our typesetter, JoAnn Hutchinson, won't believe me in the future. In the last column, I mentioned how scarce sports news would be. Then came a flock of reports and we lowered the boom on her. She whipped it out and came up smiling. So Clyde Blackwell is hospitalized. I didn't think anything but the end of the world could get the best of that youngest Old Timer you could meet. A lot of youngsters whom Clyde entertained with his puppet shows should be praying for Clyde's early recovery. Dave Kingman. Cub left fielder, stole two bases last week. That's news. Chuck Gies says it takes only ten steps for Kingman to go from first to second base with those long legs. Kingman was known as a great strikeout artist, but has found the homerun range from home plate to the bleachers in Wrigley Field. Or, do I have to say Beautiful Wrigley Field? Look for some trades by the Chicago teams before the deadline on June 15. Whenever word hits the news of a trade involving Bobby Murcer, he goes out and has a great day at bat and in the field. There seems to be no secret that the Sox would like to get their second base combination straightened out. It seems the Sox can't turn the double plays unless Manager Don Kessinger takes over the shortstop position. Never knew there were so many Smiths and Schmitts in the country until we saw them at Joe and Lila Schmitt's 25th wedding anniversary mass and reception. Tears were flowing in Milwaukee Sunday night in­ stead of beer The White Sox tfcumped the Brewers 13 to 3 after beating them Saturday night by the modest score of 6 to 2. And the Bimbo crowd, with the exception of Gene Schaefer, let it be known loud and clear that fche Cubs whopped Los Angeles. Everybody's happy. ONE MINUTE SPORTS OUIZ 1.

Only four cars failed to break the minute mark, including a Hoffman Estates police vehicle that attempted two runs while testing the course. A Honda Civic drivened by Wayne Allen of Wauconda had no trouble capturing the win in Class "A" with a time of 55.19 which was recorded as the fastest time of the event. Sal Cardella of McHenry was second with a time of 58.31 in a MG Mideet.

Another Boating Season Finds Wonder Lake Auxiliary Very Busy Summer is here another boating season about to begin. Flotilla 66 -Wonder Lake Coast Guard auxiliary held their monthly meeting last Saturday. They have completed the task of placing buoys around the lake and are now patroling weekends and holidays. The primary function of the auxiliary's boating safety is a certification course required by the state for young boaters age 12-18 to operate a power boat. These classes are scheduled according to demand. Therefore, if you are interested or have a youngster of that age, send a post card to U.S.C.G. Auxiliary Flotilla 6-6, P.O. Box 83, Wonder Lake, 111., 60097. Please state name, address, phone no. and age. You will be contacted as to when and where the course will be held and a minimum fee. Another function of the auxiliary's C.E.'s (Courtesy Examination) of your boat. It makes good sense to have your boat inspected to be sure all safety equipment is there and functioning. At a time of need you wouldn't like to find yourself one life jacket short or a fire extinguisher that doesn't work. C.E.'s take only a few minutes at no charge and no penalty for missing items. You are advised as to what is required by the state for per­ sonal safety. You can contact an auxiliary Marine on member Wonder at the Lake Saturday-Sunday and holidays. The auxiliary usually finds itself a little short of man- woman power. Anyone in­ terested in promoting safe boating and willing to donate a few hours a month to the course would be most welcome. It is a rewarding feeling to be in­ volved in an effort that saves lives and it is not all work. We do enjoy good fellowship with our monthly get-togethers. Contact Commander Lou Narowitz, 653-6589 or Jon Marshall, 653-5796 or drop a line to P.O. Box 83, Wonder ,Lake, 111., 60097.

'Game of the Week' will be the Raymond's Bowl - American Family Life contest; starting time 6:15p.m. The Rusty Nail Inn swept their doubleheader versus Wayne's and kept their slim one game lead over the Old Bridge-John's Sport Stop Softball club. The Nail scored 8 runs in the first three innings and allowed only one earned run during the first game as they defeated Wayne's 9-3. In game two Wayne's fell by a score of 14-6. The Old Bridge easily swept two from Little John's by scores of 26-5 and 19-3, both games shortened by a the 12- run rule. The Bridge has recovered from last week's loss and still remains the team to beat. Raymond's Bowl kept their hold on third place by punishing Huemann's Water Conditioning 17-5 and 15-0. The Bowl is outhitting and outscoring all other teams in the league while Huemann's surprised B&H Tap twice by scores of 19-6 and 16-6. A.F.L. has now won 4 of their last 5 games. B&H Tap has lost 2 straight doubleheaders and needs a win this week to break their losing streak. ~ Uncle Jamie's without Chuck Marke, came up with a great come-from-behind game one win over Oaks Marathon and then held on to win the second game by one slim run. Jamie's was down 13-6 going into the sixth inning of that first game but a 6-run sixth coupled with a 4-run seventh sealed Oaks defeat. The second game turned into a 3-2 defensive struggle as Jamie's moved into a fourth place tie with A.F.L. Oaks Marathon again had enough hitting to win, but continue to be the 'hard luck' team of 1979.

Yes, it's generally agreed now, among the experts, that the sun affects our weather to a remarkable degree. Not all of the relationship is understood. But it's known that the mere heating of the earth and bodies of water is but one of many influences the sun controls. The sun is thought to be the key to trends of weather on earth, a cycle of cold weather, or warm, which may cover decades or scores of years. The sun has low pres­ sure, or storm areas moving around its surface and these may partially control our weather. The sun's heating power is the source of clouds, and moisture-as a result of clouds.

C. « The end of the Major League baseball umpires Strike didn't improve umpiring much. True, umpir­ ing included many poor calls during the strike. But it was, overall, surprisingly good. On the first day with the regulars back on the job. May 19th, the veterans blew about six calls in a nationally tele­ vised game on NBC. If that had been the substitutes everyone would have been blaming the bad calls on in­ experienced umpires. The call of a Red Sox run­ ner as being out at third, in that May 19th game, when he had clearly touched the bag long before the tag, was so obvious Tony Kubek had to publicly disagree. The replays made it very clear. All of which proves once again there's no valid reason for umpires not to utilize TV replay to confirm calls. One umpire should avail himself of instant TV replay at all games-certainly at important games between contenders. Pretending that the nearest umpire can see it all and doesn't need instant camera replay is absurd.

Solution? Plant three squash seeds in a 10-gallon tub and set it in an unused corner of his patio. The squash tub made a great family project and conversation piece. By summer s end he had three fine Butternut squash for winter storage. The tub is a rigid wood fiber container purchased at a local nursery and filled with homemade compost. The tub can be reused and should shortly pay for itself in the value of the crop. Other vining crops such as cucumbers and melons also grow well in tubs. Where space is at a premium plant bush varieties which develop very short runners. Large vegetable plants don't like containers smaller than 5 gallons in size and do best in tubs or boxes holding 7 or more gallons of soil.
