fS >:• - LAKL WALbH Bp** •I A » 4 So I Hear Alvina has learned that cigar ashes are good for house plants so I have to puff a little harder. , One researcher, who read about the lantern being hung op the Comiskey barn when the Sox won. comes up with these figures. Between 1900 and 1920, the Sox finished in the first division ten times and won three titles. So there, Tom Bolger! They did burn a lot of kerosene. George Had and Jerry Wakitsch are full fledged members of the golfers Polar Club. They came to Bimbo's one night trying to tell us it wasn't cold out on the course. If heavy snow comes, we will find a St. Bernard dog (with keg around his neck) to rescue them. If you didn't see Martha Morenz and Ida Meddings bedecked in colorful hair pieces on Halloween, you missed a treat. A1 Baur, who remembers so much about early McHenry, phoned to talk about pictures and history of the Mill Pond dam. Al's father, Math, used to "make" ice on the pond. Ray Nelson reminds us how they packed the ice in sawdust. Some ice was put up in local ice houses while some was shipped in box cars to Chicago. Men, who were out of work in the wintertime, were glad to pick up a few days work at ice cutting time. No unemployment insurance in those days. Larry Huck, a real sports fan, called on us and a great time was had in covering all points. Harry and Kay have a son who follows all sports events. Grandpa Larry would have been proud of him. One of the shockers of my young life came during a visit to a doctor's office. When the nurse informed me she was going to give me a shot, I rolled up my sleeve. The arm location wasn't what she had in mind. Heard a discussion recently when one person remarked that our city will soon be known as Park City. Say it isn't so. Good old McHenry must stand forever. There is joy at McHenry High this week after the Warrior victory over Crown's football team. What a difference a win makes. This 1980 team was only a player or two away from being a big winner. They always seemed to be in the game. Building a football team at McHenry High hasn't been Basketball Schedule Announced With the closing of the football season for area schools, both Jotasburg and McHenry announced schedules for the 1960-81 basketball campaign. Practice officially started on Nov. 1 with play starting in late November for both schools. McHENRY BOYS BASKETBALL HOT BOX-An early evening Are in the new McCracken Field Press Box last Saturday turned up minimal damage to the floor as McHenry Company One responded to the fire which was apparently started by someone lighting a wooden box located inside the press box. The press box was recently renovated before the start of the football season and has been vacant for two weeks.

Reading reports of previous sales of baseball teams, brings me to the conclusion that Com­ missioner Kuhn has given Bill Veeck and the White Sox owners the shaft. Holding up the sale is going to delay the Sox from trading or buying what is needed. Tain't fair. The question before the house: Put on the snow tires? Wait for snow? One fellow told me he put on his snow tires and long drawers in October and isn't going to take them off until April. Vice Pres. Vern Brenner of the Walgreen Company and his pretty wife were ambassadors to McHenry on Sunday and visited Bimbo's, presumably to get a line on the kind of food the drug chain should dish over the counter. The Brenners joined the Bob Blaneys and Herman Zwisslers to form a friendly, happy group. Nice people. A fun group. Vern is a Sox fan all the way and thinks the same as I do about Bowie Kuhn's blitz against the sale of the team to Edward DeBartolo. We aren't keen for Kuhn. It was a generous gesture on the part of our friend, Alan Freund, in giving up his table so we could sit in chummy proximity to the above mentioned group. Watching replays of NFL football games gives con­ vincing evidence that a good passing offense is necessary for victory. Jim Curran phoned to say he had some of those 35 cent haircuts way back when "Fritzie" Kamholz had a barber shop in the little building between Roger Freund's tire shop and the North Western Hotel on Main St. Dr. Froehlich later had his office in that building. Eva Bacon Sparks operated the Township Assessor's office at the same location. It is now a hearing aid office. Just a little building, but like the Little Red Caboose it keeps rolling along. Halloween brought some of the devilment of years gone by. Children came to our door and, after eating two much sweet candy, asked for a drink of water. And -- some wanted to use the bathroom. Such requests are not to be denied. • • • • What's the latest box score on the number of hunters shot by mistake? On Guard Male Siamese fighting fish build underwater nests out of mucus-covered air bubbles. The males also guard the nests alone until baby fish hatch and are ready to live on their own, says National Geographic World magazine. BASEBALL* * * * By Pete Frttchle WASHINGTON, D. C. -- In baseball's playoffs and in the World Series, the um­ pire missed call after call. Philadelphia, which suffered from unfair calls a few years ago, suffered more than its share again this year. To name but a few injustices, the Phillies lost two calls on trapped balls in Houston, in the fourth game, and lost the first batter who got a walk in the ninth inning of that game, because of blown calls. Luckily, they won the next day. And Houston was hurt by a blown call in that fifth game. With millions watching on television, and seeing TV instant replay, which clearly shows up the errors, how long will it take organized baseball to provide--at least in championship games and in the Series-a special ump with a TV replay machine? Not all close or disputed calls can be clarified with accuracy on film. But most of them can. Why prolong the non­ sense that umpires must not be questioned. If they blow a call and the film proves it beyond any doubt, justice should be served. Why should any team lose be­ cause of the vanity of pride of umpires? If they were sensible about it, which most of them would be, TV replay would be welcomed. Kansas City this year won with fair umpiring and luck but the Royals have also suf­ fered in past years--to a greater degree than most. One suspects that umpires, being human, are sometimes inclined to give close calls to the home crowd, or to the established star. Film has no special favorites nor can it be Intim­ idated. And it should be utilized without further delay to reduce the number of blown calls. ONE MINUTE SPORTS QUIZ 1. Who pitched the first no-hit game in World Series history? 2.
