Another Jay sets record
Over their first four years in the American
baseball league the Toronto Blue Jays have set a
number of marks for losing.
Saturday during their doubleheader loss to the
Baltimore Orioles. backup catcher Dan Whitmer
became the first catcher to appear in a game without
handling a pitch.
With the score tied in the bottom of the ninth,
regular signal caller Ernie Whitt was thrown out of the
game by the umpires after the decision on a trapped
. ball was changed allowing Jose Morales to get another
crack at the plate.
Whitmer took over for Whitt behind the plate. but,
on the first pitch Morales doubled to send the winning
run in and the game was over without Whitmer getting
to touch the ball officially.
Despite a poor start the Blue Jays are only a half
game behind the Boston Red Sox and two games back
of the Detroit Tigers who suffered through a long 10
game losing streak.
The Jays have looked real good at times and then
there are other occasions, especially when their
pitchers seem to lose sight of home plate. In Satur-
day's twin bill. the Orioles drew 19 free passes from
Toronto pitchers.
One bright spot on the Jays pitching scene is the
performance of Mark Bomback who was picked up on
April 6 in a trade with the New York Mets
Bomback spend the first two weeks with the
Toronto farm club at Syracuse before being called up.
Since that time he has won three of four starts and in
Sunday's win over Baltimore he retired the first 16
Oriole batters in order.
His earned run average is a very respectable 2.17
over 29 full innings. The lowest ERA's are held by
Jackson and Garvin at 1.30 and 1.62, respectively.
To date each major league has .had one very ex-
citing happening. In the American league it's the fast
start by the Oakland Athletics who have won 20 of their
first 25 games. Bill Martin has his club in high gear.
In the National it's a rookie lefthander of the Los
Angeles Dodgers by the name of Fernando Valenzuela.
He has won all six games he has started and has allow-
ed only two runs in 54 complete innings for a
remarkable earned run average of 0.33.
Valenzuela who speaks no English and needs an in-
terpreter is the first six game winner in the majors
this season. In Sunday's game against the Expos he
retired 21 batters. in succession.
Looks like another Sandy Koufax in the making.
Maybe.. he can't speak any English now, but, that will
certainly change by contract time if he continues at his
present pace.
The Expos who were off to a great start have
fallen off a bit and are not tied for second in the
National league eastern division with the Phillies, one
full game back of the league leading St. Louis Car-
dinals.
Getting back to the Oakland A's situation, it
proves fans support a winner. In their first 11 home
games this year the attendance was more than the en-
tire 1980 season of some 81 games. What a difference a
winner makes.
Molson Cup winners
For the first time in;Ihe nine year history of the
Molson Cup three -star selections, a tie existed and it
was in Toronto.
Darryl Sittler and Wilf Paiement each received 65
points for the Leafs followed by Derlago 55 and Salm-
ing and Vaive 50 each.
In Montreal Larry Robinson was the winner with
Guy Lafleur second followed by Langway 70, Sevigny
and Acton 50.
Rookie Dave Christian led the Winnipeg Jets in the
three star selections with 55 points. Next came Babych
50 and Dion. Hamel and Lindstrom 35.
For the Calgary Flames, Kent Nilsson was away
ahead with 95 points. Next came Lemelin 65, Riggin
and Chouinard 60 and Lever 55.
For the fifth straight year a goalie has won the
honours on the Vancouver Canucks. This time it was
Richard Brodeur with 95 points. Dave "Tiger"
Williams was second with 70 points followed by Brasar
55. Smyl 50 and McCarthy 45.
The big winner overall by a long country mile was
the Wonder Kid himself Wayne Gretzky. He amassed a
total of 145 points Glenn Anderson was the runnerup
for the Edmonton filers with 75 points and Mio 60,
Siltanen 45 and Messier 35 trailing.
Named most valuable
The most valuable player on this year's Cornell
University hockey team was Geoff Roezler. The selec-
tion was made by his team-mates.
Geoff is the son Of Grant and Doreen Roeszler now
living in Chatham. hut. formerly of Crediton.

Milverton to host junior fastbaII finals
The Milverton Millwrights
junior ladies softball team
will be playing for the
Canadian Junior Ladies
Softball Championship in
August this year.
As host team, the
Millwrights automatically
have a place in the schedule.
George Wicke, who spent
several years as coach of the
Milverton Suns, senior ladies
softball team, has been
signed as a coach of the
Millwrights this year.
George will be out to take his
team to the finals as hedid
for the Suns when they
hosted the senior ladies
Canadian championships in
1979.
In 1979 the Suns lost, the
champion§hip to British
Columbia, so George knows
what it is like to be close to
the top. This year he intends
to reaeh the top.
The Milverton Millwrights
ball club was organized in
1973 when Bob Harrow,
Dennis Huston and Bill Dale
were coaches. Olive Bell has
been the team's 'manager
from the beginning, and
along with Arnie Arand is co-
chairman of the organizing
committee for this year's
Canadian championship.
Other ,coaches for the
Millwrights through the
years have been Rick
Ament, Dennis Fleischauer,
Sade and Wilda Widmeyer,
Arnie Arand and Perry
Keller.
This year, assisting
George Wicke as coaches are
Arnie Arand and George
Nahrgang.
The Millwrights, in their
beginning year, won a silver
medal in the Ontario Sum-
mer Games in Ottawa. That
same year they won the
Ontario Junior A cham-
pionship. The following year
the team won the Ontario
Junior AA title and was
defeated by Saskatchewan in
the Canadian cham-
pionships.
Since that time the
Millwrights have played in
several provincial cham-
pionships. Many graduates
of the team have found
positions with the Milverton
Suns.
If the Millwrights'
determination to win this
year gives them the Ontario
title, the runner-up Ontario
team will represent the
province at the Canadian
championships in August.
Regardless, the Millwrights
will be part of the 1981
Canadian Junior Ladies
Softball Championships in
Milverton --August 5, 6, 7, 8
and 9.
Players from this area
have been members of the
team for two years. They are
Sheila Penhale, Elimville at
third base and Patti Down,
Exeter, a pitcher.
There will be 12 teams
competing for the Canadian
title this year -one from each
province, the Northwest
Territories, and Milverton as
host. The Yukon has advised
the organizers It won't be
sending a team this year.
The Milverton Millwrights
executive put in a bid to host
the 1981 championships at
the annual meeting of the
CASA last year and was
successful. Since that time a
a number of committees
