EARL WALSH' So I Hear Bill Kreutzer was lying in his hospital bed and worrying about who would take over in the helping hand department in our neigh borhood Let me explain that Bill always lent a hand when help was needed. (Sort of God's gift to the women.) What floored me was his remark. "Tell Alvina she will have to take over". Sez I, "What about me." He just smiled. How sweet it was to watch the White Sox beat the Yankees 4-1 Monday night Something tells me those Yankees 'the millionaires' club) aren't the murderers row we once knew Hope they don't rise up and clobber us before this goes to press. Cub fans must be on cloud 9 after seeing their hopefuls win a couple of games. Murphy's Corner is famous for bulletins posted on a high post. Maybe I can't remember the exact wording, but this is close: "You can't beat the service in this place, just wait awhile. We know a woman who saw a snorkel in use and decided she would like one on a smaller scale for washing windows. Ed Blake took me over to see his neighbor's boat - that now famous boat designed, manufactured and operated by Jack Phalen Jack had an idea I didn't understand the operation of his boat when this column carried a report of a dunking in McCullom Lake. Engineer Phalen has made some refinements in the design of his battery powered sailboat After tipping into the water twice, Jack plans a third attempt and will invite the public. At first thought, the Commodore excluded Ed Houlihan and S.I.H. from the list of invited witnesses. After seeing how terribly hurt 1 felt, he relented and said va - all come. Think I picked up another reader to add to my list of three. A good-looking girl with a pleasant smile overheard a remark about S.I.H. as she rang up the list at the Eagle check-out counter, she plans to send in a contribution. That I like. I always bragged about liking all food except musk- melons. Finally decided to try one and, like Mikey in the cereal ad, -- I like it!

Nine persons were tran sported to area hospitals, including Seegert who was treated at "Burlington Hospital and released after being cut out of his car by rescue personnel.

Good Thru August 31 (312) 567-2555 Payton Spells Bears Take Bill Buckner out of the Cubs lineup and it really doesn't pay to go to Wrigley field. Take Walter Payton out of the Bear's lineup and you expose a football team that really doesn't know how to put points on the board. In their first two exhibition games, the Bears have scored exactly seven points losing to the hapless New York Giants 23-7 and to Kansas City 13-0. The starting backfield of Payton and Roland Harper has hardly played in the two contests as Dave Williams, John Skibinski, and Matt Suhey have all been given their chance to show their stuff. They have been anything but impressive. Vince Evans has been given the starting nod at quarterback and has per formed adequately although he sorely misses the departed flanker James Scott Ricky Watts has stepped into the starting position and has caught the only touchdown pass thus far, but he is not the proven receiver Scott was and his lack of experience has showed. Rookie Ken Margerum has Bullpen By Carl Moesche been a pleasant surprise at the other wide receiver spot impressing the Bear coaching staff with spec tacular catches. But he too lacks the experience. Starting left guard Noah Jackson has finally agreed to terms which should put rookie tackle Keith Van Horn back on the bench and move Ted Albrecht from left guard back to his original left tackle spot. Albrecht has started all but two games in his five-year history with the Bears at left tackle, and with Van Horn's showing in his first two pro games, Albrecht may not be in jeopardy to lose his old position for a long time. . Rookie middle linebacker Mike Singletary will join Van Horn on the pines when the Bears host the Cincinnati Bengals this Saturday, August 22 at Soldier Field. Singletary has been burned too many times for head coach Neill Armstrong's likings and he may not be ready for a starting assignment also. Safety Doug Plank is still unsigned and the cornerback spots are virtually up for grab since eight year veteran Allan Ellis cannot walk without feeling pain. What does all this mean? Simply that the Bears are not yet the well-oiled machine that we would like to believe they are. The squeeks are noticeable. Offensive coordinator Ted Marchibroda has installed a new offense for the Bears for this season, but it's taking longer for the players to learn the system. Marchibroda did an amazing job in turning the Baltimore Colts around behind the passing of Bert Jones. In Chicago, he'll be trying to do the same with Evans and hopefully take some of the pressure off el Payton. Baltimore also had the gifted flanker Roger Carr, a sprinter who was the recipient of many of Jones' long aerials. Evans has yet to find a favorite with +r\Kim he can play catch with. Armstrong has a three- year record of only 24-24 With the Bears. Last year'* 74 season won't be matched unless a consistency is foitnd in the offense, and someone besides Payton can find his way into the end zone. If not, Chicago may be in for a long season. What would happen if Payton would get hurt? When the great Gale Sayers was hurt in 196® the Bears suffered through their worst season ever at4-13. But this is onlyv the exhibition season, a time to innovate and a time to make decisions. Perhaps We're making a lot out of the fact that the Bears are only 0-2. Like the Cubs they will have their chance to pull to .500. But it sure tells a lot about how much Walter means to the Chicago offense. Chicago fans spell relief P-A- Y-T-O-N.

For Low Net Champion in Class A Betty Mohan edged out the other gals with nets of 74-77-77. Having gross scores of 102- 106-107, Gloria Otth captured Low Gross Championship in Class B Glorious Gloria's game has been progressing well throughout the season and she will undoubtedly be slipping into Class A by season's end. The story for Class B Net Championship is a different matter - a cliff- hanger for Carolyn Harger and Laverne Harpling as they finished the three rounds in a tie. With their totalling 226 net each there will be an 18-hole playoff sometime prior to next Tuesday. Results will be reported next week. Trish Sayler in Class C captured Low Gross Championship with 116-114- 110 while Myrt Johnson won Low Net in the same class with nets Of 79-81-71. Class D found Jackie Victor shooting 122-122-119 to win Low Gross Cham pionship while petitie Betty Gossell captured Low Net in the same class with 81-78-75. Under the daily events in Class A Virginia Turner shot low gross of 93 to tie with Floss O'Connell for low net of 75 while Letty Busscher and Marlene Smith low- putted with 31 each. Class B was filled with ties as Carolyn Harger and Char Zwissler tied for low gross of 104. Char, Carolyn and Laverne Harpling tied for low net^of 74 each and Carolyn and Irene Kin- neman tied for low putts of 31 each. In Class C Myrt Johnson low grossed with 108 while Trish Sayler low netted with 70 and low putted with 31. In Class D it was Toots Gerstad grossing 118, Jackie Victor low netting 71 and Fran Herrmann low putting 29. More birdies than usual seemed to be flying around. Carol Cooney birdied four and 16, Lynn Schmidt bir died 15, Marlene Smith birdied ,14 while Char Zwissler credited herself with both a birdie and a chip- in on nine and Floss O'Connell dittoed that action on 14. Another chip-in was rung up by Trish Sayler on 16. From the Nifty Niners comes the report of their Nine-Hole Championship. In Flight A Low Gross was scored by Dorothy Flynn while Low Net was scored by Melanie Frett. Second Low Gross went to Lorraine Gausden and Second Low Net went to Lorraine Young. In Flight B a tie for Low Gross went to Mil Hansen and Lynn McKiernon with Low Net going to Carol Wakitsch. Second Low Gross was shot by Ethel Hartmann and Second Low Net by Inez^ Buralli. Sandy of the week has to be Betty Rode as she found nine of the traps whije the Water Wings award goes to Kitty Evans who had her troubles on Number eight. Frustration shots were swung by Ethel Hartmann as she tangled with the trees on six. Gladys Warfield's drive on two was not one to be easily duplicated as a down draft apparently caused her ball to catch the edge of the raised tee, rebound to the rear and wind up behind the tee. Trick shot of the day, however, had to be a fairway shot on 11 executed by Char Zwissler. It seems Char hit a slice which ricocheted off a tree, zoomed back into the fairway and landed the center of the seat of the cart of two of her playmates. The question to play it as it lay or take an unplayable lie was resolved by giving her a free drop. Well, next week's event - a Tennessee Dog fight - should lead to Happy Golfing!
