Should beat last year
The vast improvement shown in the last two
• weeks by the Toronto Blue Jays should produce a
better record than they were able to accomplish in
their first full season in the American league.
With Saturday's 3-0 blanking of the Chicago White
Sox. the Blue Jays brought their current record up to
31 yictories and 52 losses. That's exactly the way they
stood after their first 83 games in 1977.
The long ball hitting of fellows like Rico Carty and
John Mayberry along with the improved pitching of
Jim Clancy. Jesse Jefferson and Dave Lemanczyk has
given the Toronto club a bit of a -lift.
When a big leaguer returns to his home city for
the first time with another club a lot of relatives
usually turn out and as often as not they are disap-
pointed by their hero's performance.
This was:certainly not the case when Jim Clancy
of the Blue Jays pitched in Chicago Saturday.
Clancy held the White Sox to three well scattered
hits and wasrdt'ely in trouble until the eighth when he
was lifted by -manager Roy Hartsfield. Mike Willis
came on and ,retried five White Sox in - a row/to
preserve the win for Clancy. •�f
Clancy •started out with at least 16 relatives and
friends on his side. but. by the time it was over most of
the more than 23.000 fans were giving him vocal sup-
port.
Manager Roy Hartsfield of the Jays has different
thoughts about this year's all star -girlie than most
managers
Usually the all -"star break is welcomed by most
teams who would like to give their players. especially
the pitcher a bit of a rest.
Hartsfield said after Saturday's win .in Chicago
that he hates to see the three day rest coming up. He
figures his charges are just getting into high gear and
some time off may cool them off.
While the Jays have been able to equal their 1977
performance on the field they have fallen back a bit in
attendance.
The first 42 flames at CNE Stadium this year have
drawn ,.tstal 804.890 spectators. This is a decrease
of about 87.000 from a year ago. The extremely cool
weather for the first few games had a lot to do with
the drop in attendance.
Overall major league attendance is up this year by
more than four percent and the 40 million mark should
be reached for the first time in history if the current
pace continues.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are away out in front
with 1.668.249 fans for their first 41 games. They have
more than doubled the Toronto attendance in one less
game. •'
Jogging is popular
While baseball attendance is on the rise. it doesn't
seem to match the boom in one participant sport.
That's jogging.
According to a recent poll` more than -27 million
North Americans are joggers. That's about 11 percent
of the adult population and the running craze show`s no •
sign of slowing up.
The urge. to run has brought on a desire to buy.
too, and industry hasn't wasted any time in taking ad-
vantage
dvantage of it. The same goes for manufacturers in
Europe and Japan.
- Some joggerrs may feel content to romp around the
neighbourhood in a drab sweat shirt and old tennis
shoes. but. many do not. - -
They eagerly pay $20 to $40 for running shoes even
'more for stylish warmup togs. fancy sweat shirts with
hoods and split -side shorts.
The cost for outfitting a self respecting jogger ean-
exceed $100 and this could _mean in excess of $400
million a year In sales.
The best advice for anyone wanting to start jogg-
ing is to get a medical checkup first and build 'your en-
durance up gradually.
Mixes farming and hockey
One of the great hockey players of our time, Bob-
by Hull appears to be just as interested and
enthusiastic about farming as he is about his efforts on
the ice.
Hull will be the guest speaker at the national -
