School classes start again for the fall term ex- actly four weeks next Tuesday. The next few weeks will certainly be busy as far as area sports and entertainment activities are concern- ed. This weekend the annual Friedsburg Days are be- ing held in the friendly village of Dash-wood and the number of sporting events for children are being in- creased, In addition to the usual arm wrestling and tug-of- war competitions, tricycle races and frog races are being added, The tricycle races are open to boys and girls up to eight years of age and youngsters up to and including 14 are eligible to race their frogs. In each instance, the contestants are required to bring their own tricycles and frogs. With the heavy rains of the weekend, the supply of frogs in area ditches and streams should be considerably better. Battle of the sexes Next Tuesday's exhibition fastball game inHensall could be described as a battle of the sexes. Beginning at 8 p.m. at the Hensall ball park, the contest pits the Milverton Suns against the Zurich Buckeyes. The Milverton girls lost out in their bid over the weekend to regain the Ontario ladies fastoall cham- pionship. As Lynne Farquhar of Exeter and a regular with the Suns said Monday, "We really blew it." After defeating Fort Erie 1-0, the Suns lost their next two games. The tournament was won by Agincourt. They will represent Ontario in the upcoming 1980 finals to be held in Hull. Quebec. Last year they were held in Milverton. In addition to what should turn out to be an ex- cellent ball game,spectatorswill be treated to all kinds of additional fun and merriment. To start proceedings away, three Hensall old- timers will participate in the opening ceremonies. A picture of the stars of the past appears elsewhere in this issue. We were able to persuade Bert Horton and Ed Corbett to don their uniforms for the sake of the camera. They will be joined Tuesday night by Carter Kerslake who will throw out the first pitch with Corbett swinging the bat and Horton donning the big decker. Bert Horton was a member of a championship Hensall club away back in 1928 and the other two are well known for their baseball careers over the past 40 years or so. Bill Brady of CFPL radio Open Line faille will be at the microphone to keep the game moving and the. fans entertained. Bill in on holidays this week getting rested up for the big show Tuesday night. The game is being sponsored by the Hensall Fair Board and director Bill Coleman has been successful in lining up a chicken to attend the game. This chicken is only nine years of age, but, he will be entertaining with songs and chatter to get the fans in the right frame of mind. Handling the umpiring chores will be Bill Topping of St. Thomas and Steve Kyle, a former star baseball player in Hensall who is now a very busy umpire in the Tillsonburg area where he carries on his school teaching duties. Lynne Farquhar of town who now operates the Stephen township Resource Centre and former Kirkton area star Iris Marshall will be in the Milver- ton lineup. The Zurich Buckeyes are managed by Hensall carpenter Murray Baker and one of the top pitchers on the team is Brian "Ace" Hodgins of Exeter who also throws for the local Saveway team in the Southwestern Fastball Association. All in all it should be a good fun night with all proceeds going to the Hensall fair board. While talking about the Milverton Suns, we shold mention that two other girls from this area are playing this year with the Milverton juniors. They are Patti Down and Sheila Penhale. Both played with the Kirkton midgets for the last couple of years. An improved record After a great start and then a bit of a relapse, the Toronto Blue Jays have again straightened out somewhat and are showing a big improvement over a year ago. Sunday's 5-0 win over Seattle was the Toronto club's 43rd of the season. A year ago victory No. 43 came on August 31, more than a month later. There are four teams in the two major leagues with worse win-loss records than the Blue Jays. They are Seattle and California in the American league and Chicago and San Diego in the senior circuit. A couple of Blue Jays are well up in individual statistics. Alvis Woods, who has come to life in recent weeks has a batting average of .320, good for fifth spot in the American league and John Mayberry is also fifth in home runs with 18. Otto Velez is right behind with 17 homers. Velez has six of his round trippers against the Cleveland In- dians with four of them coming in a doubler header early in the season. Bring on the Indians again. Alvis Woods has 11 homers so far this season and this equals his previous career mark. In the pitching department Dave Stieb is the leader with 10 victories with Jim Clancy one back at nine.

The tourney started at 8 a.m. Saturday and the final pitch in the championship game was thrown at 1:15 a.m. Sunday.

Tuesday night, Chas Hen- dy topped play with two wins, an aggregate of 30 and a plus of six.
