PAGE 4 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7,1981 'EARL WALSH*" So I Hear * Don't know htftv, but somehow I climbed like a mountain goat to get into the press box at McCracken Field Friday night. Whoever designed that r stairway should go back to the drawing board. Always complaining? No, just about the press box. A lot has been done. Am sure more will follow in time. After taking a 22-0 drub­ bing in the first half, the Warriors put up a great scrap in the third quarter. It was too little too late against a fired up Woodstock team that came to play. I won't infringe on Dick Rabbitt's report of the game so will ke^f) some ob­ servations to myself. Am sure Dick will have a complete report if he has recovered from his field announcer's attempts while two cable TV announcers blasted forth in the press box We predict the TV boys will have a separate booth some time in the future. It was the night of the 1961 championship team's an- WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ON SALE ITEMS niversary party. Gene Morenz came up and tapped me on the shoulder saying, "Look who's here". Through beard and pipe smoke we saw Cliff Fulton smiling through It was nice to see Cliff, but thought the noise wouTd die down so we could have a visit at half time. He vanished. The popular former Warrior basketball coach always was fast on his feet. Newcomers may not know Cliff was one of the famous Whiz Kids at the University of Illinois. Roy Fitzgerald^ former athlete turned sports of­ ficial, attended the game. He gets around. Ken Ludwig came down from the fresh air loft after the game. I shook his hand, but couldn't hold him long enough to ask him about the coming basketball season Watching the high school band, pom-pon girls, and cheerleaders jnade me wonder how they can ^mie through in such great style each year after losing so many through graduation. Paul Mandii, who coached the 1961 champions, and his- wife Rosemary came down from Portage, Wis. for the anniversary party. Before heading for home Saturday /norning, thpy called at y>ur house. That brought happiness to us. We could have visited all day. Two finer people we never met. The following parody came from Mona: To the tune of ~ "In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree." Neath the crust of the old apple pie - There is something for both you and I. Oh - it may be a pin That the cook has dropped in Or. it may be a wee little fly It might bean old rusty nail - Or - the end of a pussy cat 's tail But -- whatever it be - It's for both you and me!! 'Neath the crust of the old apple pie. Cousins are nice to have around. Some live miles awav Thoughtfulness of Cousins Mary and Louise ,nean so much. Now comes cin old tintype of my mother an<^ Aunt Katie when they were girls They found it in one of Aunt Nell's old picture albums. Another cousin, Jim Walsh of the County Seat, sent a bumper sticker "BALD IS BEAUTIFUL". * Don't know why he didn't keep it for himself. I have three more strands of hair than he has.^- My grandma used to have a saying about the pof calling the "l|ittle" black--. History repeats itself. Now come ads for stove polish. Some of you remember putting that black stuff on the stoves and stovepipes. You started a fire, then opened all the doors and windows. Marya Weber, who/ives in the "Count's House"; phoned to say Lon Smith brought an old picture of the home to the Webers. That was nice. Now, can anybody find a picture of The Count him­ self The year the home was built is also needed. These came over the phone: "Best Wishes are never too late." "If Congress went on strike, we couldn't stand the prosperity." Credit a Berwyn newspaper with this story. It came to us in a double play: Fred Meyer to Tom Bir­ mingham to S.I.H. Even fried oysters have pearl linings An oft-told fable about biting into an ovster and MOM -THURS 9-10 FRI & SAT 9-11 SUNDAY 9 9 s finding a pearl of great price proved to be more fact than fiction to a Stickney woman. Margaret Berkos said she was dinning at, Bimbo's Restaurant, near the Chain O'Lakes in McHenry. "I ordered the fried oyster special for $3.95," Mrs Berkos said. "Well, I thought I broke my tooth oh my very first bite. When I pulled something from my mouth it was a pearl." She said she had the pear) appraised and was told it was a rare Baroque pearl as opposed to the plentiful fresh-water pearls. "I am going to have it mounted," Mrs. Berkos added. "I have been told it is worth over $100.00 When Tom Birmingham brought the clipping to our house, we were listening to some amusing Irish records brought home by the Tom Hickeys when they visited the Auld Sod. The world needs more laughs You probably saw a notice in the Friday issue that "So I Hear" has moved. . It is farewell to the sports page after 46 years. That doesn't mean I won't touch on sports. It means that S.I.H. will have a corner of its own. The same church, but a different pew. To the Sports Section I say: It's been nice to know you -- I've got to be rolling along.
