Rte. 120 • 385-1125 Formerly May's Drug So I Hear They do come back. This week we had Ed and Gladys Doyele come out of the West to visit the old neighborhood. Can't say the high altitude and Western air has changed Ed, v He's the same. (But, maybe I shouldn't elaborate.) - When Bill and Pauline Pries visited us, he forgot to mention he has been married to the same girl for t 40 vears. ' •> 7* Marie didn't miss it in her Twice Told Tales. Hardly seems possible it has been 40 years. But, recollecting, Pauline was a child bride and Bill was accused of robbing the cradle. So -- it is Play Ball! When one realizes the strike ended a few days before the owners' insurance expired and the players ended their part of the squabble in time for the All- Star game (money for their pension fund), we have to know their hearts were bleeding for the fans. Some fans are so fed up they are turning thumbs down on baseball. Others say they may watch games on TV, but won't go to the park. Now, I wonder if John Busscher still wants to bet oii the All-Star game. He really can't affort to pass up those sucker bets. Fans used to welcome new players into their hearts. Now that player loyalty has flown out the window, one has to wonder how long it will take to forget. Met the Mel Ponts at the Longhorn and found that Mel remembers some things about the Ford Fliwers I had forgotten. When cranking one of those balky beasts in the water Mel said one of his chores was to shine the' brass headlights. Wonder how many people ask for doggie bags in restaurants, fill them, then forget to take them when leaving. My favorite chuckle goes back to the time when sugar was scarce. A large lady with a large purse, put all the little sugar bags she could reach into her purse. But, that wasn't all! When she stood up to leave, her purse flew open and out rolled sugar bags, hard rolls and everything she could cram in the big purse. Bugs seem to be creeping into print in this column the last couple of months. • ' f A In answer to Tony Noonan, the first paragraph came out this way: "Yest, Tony, it was Marian Anderson who named the column omit when the Plaindealer ran a contest." "Yest" --- but Marian didn't name it "omit". Now I know what big league pitchers are going through since the strike. When Pat Wirtz asked me to throw out the first ball at the 12-inch All-Star game, it didn't give me much time to get my arm in shape. I threw a low, inside pitch and am sure Umpire Don Bentz called it a strike. Thought maybe I would be forgotten this year so it was heartening when Dick Doherty came out to greet me as I left the mound. Said Dick, "I hope you can do this for another 25 years - - and that I can be here, too." Think I can make it. Have a niece, Julie Bednar, who has promised to wheel me in a wheel chair when necessary. Ron Miller, the leading hitter in the league with a .724 average, batted tenth in the East lineup. When .400 is a low average in that league, you have to assume the batters are great or the scorekeeper is generous. They have a neat press box and serve refreshments. Can't beat that. The players get a lot of good exercise and have a lot of fun. Pat Wirtz must have a deep interest in the league. He keeps score and sends complete reports to the Plaindealer. They say he does more than that in the way of work. When I was editing, it came out that a real nice girl (his wife) was typing those reports. Have a football report on the Chicago Bears to review for our next column. It's a compliment and makes my day when my wife says, "You need a haircut." Catches Another Burt France, formerly of McHenry and now a Crystal Lake resident, saw lightning strike twice last Saturday. Using a crayfish lure, he caught a 9M> lb., 34% inch Northern Pike from McCullom Lake. Exactly one week earlier, France, using an Abu Flex Spinner lure brought home a 9 lb., 33V4 inch Northern from the same lake.
