YOGI- It Ain't Over
A new baseball related book on
the market is the recent one by the
title of "YOGI - It ain't over," with
Tom Horton. The book is pub
lished by McGraw Hill Publishing
Company in the hardbound edition.
Tom Horton, a lifelong friend of
Yogi Berra, and owner of the
Thomas Horton and Daughters
Publishing Company in Sun
Lakes, Arizona goes into great de
tail to inform the reader just what
Yogi Berra was really like and the
things Berra did that made the base
ball fans instinctively love him.
"YOGI" is a book that has been
written on the life of Yogi Berra,
his triumphs, defeats, events of his
life, and some of his most famous
and humorous sayings, like the one
most repealed by athletes and
coaches the world over, "It Ain't
Over Till It's Over"
The book deals with the humor
ous times in the life of the world
famous Berra, one lime manager of
the rcknown New York Yankees
baseball team, and Hall of Fame
catcher for the Yankees, and it lists
in detail events that look place
among him and his friends.
It is packed with anecdotes about
Yogi's playing days with the New
York Yankees, and his association
with baseball's famous Casey
Choose the correct
clubs for your game
In today's golf club market, the
variety of golf clubs offered can of
ten be confusing and frustrating
when choosing the right set for
your game.
One of the worst tilings you can
do is buy a set of clubs without
being aware if the clubs will fit you
and your game.
Did you know that 80-90% of
all golfers do not realize the impor
tance of fitting golf clubs?
If you were to do your own
survey and simply ask golfers if
they were aware that golf club grips
can be made larger or smaller than
standard to fit individuals belter,
they would in most all likelihood
not realize it of it.
When fitting a set of golf clubs
to an individual and an individuals
golf game, eleven variables should
be considered. In this article we will
touch lightly on one of those vari
ables, club length.
One might say that club length
can easily be determined, tall people
need long clubs and short people
need shorter clubs. That's a myth!

NATURAL GAS
If you purchase natural gas from the City of Perry and should
you have a gas leak in your home or business, you should
immediately notify the City Hall. Their phone number is 987-
1911. The gas you bum in your home or business is colorless and
odorless. If it should leak, it would present a hazard. Because
gas is normally odorless, a special odor is introduced into the gas
before it is distributed by the City. If you have ever smelled this
odor, you will remember what it smells like. It is similar to the
odor introduced to both propane and gasoline but is distinctive
to natural gas. It is similar to the odor of rotten eggs but not as
nauseating.
Just remember that natural gas is safe unless, for one reason
or another, it is leaking into a closed area; then it is very
dangerous.
The City of Perry puls enough odorant into its gas to assure
that you will smell the gas long before it becomes dangerous.
When you smell it, however, do not waste time. Report it
immediately to the City Hall.

There arc numerous interviews
throughout the book and photos
taken by professional photographers
from the New York Times, Life
Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and
many others of Yogi Berra through
out his life and legend in baseball.
The photographs included in the
book help tell the story of this fa
mous baseball player, and the peri
ods of his life. There are photos of
his wedding day , his limes at bat,
his family and the subject matter of
others in the book make it an en
joyable and fun filled book to read.
Chapters throughout the book
arc titled "Other Voices" and they
deal with the many comments made
about Yogi Berra by many famous
people like Angi Dickinson, Dr.
Bobby Brown, Charlie Silvcra,
Spud Chandler, and Al Rosen just
to name a few. These were the
people who knew Yogi best and
present how everyone really fell
about this Hall of Famcr.
For the avid baseball fan this
book would be one that they would
want to add to their collection, for
it is easy to read, humorous, and
deals with the life of a man who
became a baseball legend with one
line.
Club length, in all but very un
usual circumstances, should be de
termined by what the golfer feels
comfortable and confident with.
More important, a golfer's play
ing ability and athletic coordination
arc key factors. An individual that
is 6'3" with a 24 handicap who has
a hard lime hilling the ball off cen
ter of the club face may be belter
off with standard length clubs for
belter control.
On the other hand, a golfer that
is 5'7" and has a 2 handicap, hits
most of the shots straight and off
the center of the clubfacc may be
belter olf with a club length one
inch over standard tom generate
more elubend speed.
This example will help you un
derstand the advantages and disad
vantages of longer and shorter
clubs.
Assume that you were hitting a
24 inch (2 foot) long driver, a little
extreme, but look what would hap
pen. You would hit more shots
consistently off the clubfacc and be
