Lots of potential
Canada’s newest big league baseball team
appears to be doing its share to promote and develop
ball players from its own country.
A recent check of the 32 Canadian natives who will
be trying to crack into the big leagues when spring
training starts in a couple of months, shows that 10 are
farm hands of the Toronto Blue Jays.
In addition five Canadians played full time in the
majors last year and one was with Toronto. He was se
cond baseman Dave McKay.
The other Canadians who should have no trouble
holding their big league spots from last year are
Fergie Jenkins, John Hiller, Reggie Cleveland and
Terry Puhi.
Of last year’s minor league hopefuls, the one with
the best chance to make the big move this spring
appears to be Sheldon Burnside from Etobicoke. Bum
side, a 23 year-old left hander was with the Detroit
Tigers at the tail end of the 1978 season after com
piling a very impressive 14 and 5 record with
Evansville.
Two natives of Chatham, Bill Atkinson and Doug
Melvin hope to join Fergie Jenkins in the big leagues
and the other Western Ontario aspirant is Larry Lan
dreth of Stratford who will be trying with the Los
Angeles Dodgers after being traded by the Montreal
Expos.
The only two Canadian coaches in the majors last
year have been cut and are looking for jobs. They are
London’s Tim Burgess and former Chicago White Sox
star third baseman Pete Ward, who is the son of
former Montreal Maroon great defenceman Jimmy
Ward.
Hawks regain winning ways
with victory over Seaforth
Successful in many ways
When television viewers tune in the 1979 Rose
Bowl game late New Year’s afternoon they will be
watching a team from one of the most successful
college operations in the United States.
We are talking about the University of Michigan.
The Wolverines from Ann Arbour are one of the most
frequent yearly visitors to Pasadena, California for
the Rose Bowl.
Michigan has one of the largest sports programs
of any U.S. university and it is financed mainly by the
Wolverine football team.
Michigan has a problem that only a few
professional or amateur sporting groups have and that
is not having all the tickets for their games that fans
want.
The Ann Arbour Stadium which seats 104,000 fans
has been sold out for more than 20 consecutive home
games.
Next year the ticket prices at Michigan will be in
creased to $10 each. It doesn’t take much of a calcula
tion to come up with a cool million dollars for each
game.
Several reasons quickly pop up for Michigan’s
success. The team under coach Bo Schembechler con
sistently comes up with 9-1, 8-2 records, etc. and this
certainly helps entice spectators.
Actually, Michigan fans need little enticing.
Athletic director Don Canham faces an almost con-
tinous season ticket holder mark of 100,000. Sounds in
credible. But, it’s true.
While the Michigan club is not required to pay
salaries we suppose they lure some of their top
players by way of scholarships.
We learned recently that the average salary in the
National hockey league is $92,000 a year in addition to
fringe benefits.
With the addition this year of Heberg and Nilsson,
the New York Rangers will have the highest overall
payroll at more than two and a half million dollars.
The Montreal Canadiens are the second most
generous at $2,385,000 and the Philadelphia Flyers
next at $2,115,000.
Three expansion teams at Colorado, Atlanta and
Washington are at the bottom of the pay scale, well
below a million and a half each.
On the income side of the ledger in 1977-78, only
the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers drew
more spectators than the Canadiens and Maple Leafs.
Montreal’s home attendance was 664,643 while at
Toronto it was 659,162.
The Exeter Hawks hit a
brief tail-spin over the
weekend, but it was due
mainly to their activities off
the ice rather than on.
After running their un
beaten streak to eight
games with a 4-4 tie against
Lucan, Friday, the locals
had their skein halted when
they dropped a 9-7 verdict to
the lowly Tavistock Braves
the following night.
In both those contests, the
Hawks played without the
services of several players
who were missing due to
attendance at Christmas
parties, sickness and in
juries.
In Tavistock, the crew
consisted of only nine
skaters, and the Hawks used
the services of midgets
Doug Brooks and Jeff Fuller
in their outings.
However, the lineup
returned to a more normal
situation, Tuesday, when the
Hawks travelled to Seaforth
and they regained their win
ning ways with- a tight 7-6
victory.
This week, they face their
stiffest test in the northern
grouping, hosting the first
place Mitchell Hawks on
Friday and then doing battle
with the third place Seaforth
squad at the rec centre on
Sunday. Wednesday night
they travel to Lucan for
another test with the Irish.
Wins in those three out
ings would keep them in
pace with Mitchell for the
top honors, while losses
would drop them back into
tight battles with Lucan and
Seaforth for the number two
spot.

Draw with Irish
Playing at home, Friday,
the Hawks battled the surg
ing Lucan Irish to a 4-4
draw, with both teams miss
ing opportunities in the
scoreless third period to win
the match.
Lucan took a 2-0 lead late

when he blinked the light
with only eight seconds to go
on a play with'D&ve Atlhill.
