The Detroit Tigers and Montreal Expos fell into lengthy slumps before the all star break and a couple of days were needed to regroup. • The Expos have won four straight games since play resumed Thursday and are now back within four games of the eastern division lead. The Tigers also rebounded quickly with wins in their first three games by resounding scores, but, still find themselves.seven games off the pace. The 18-2 win by the Tigers over Minnesota Thurs- day night was the biggest scoring splurge by a Detroit team in more than 28 years. On June 7, 1954, the Tigers swamped the old Washington Senators 18-7. During the Thursday 18 run onslaught, Tiger radio and television announcers said maybe they should save a few runs for future games. That was the case Sunday when the Tigers were blanked 6-0 by Twins pitcher Jim Havens. Back to the Expos, it appears most Montreal fans are blaming manager Jim Fanning for the club's failure to dominate the National league east the way they were expected to. The one person to get booed when the all star in- troductions were made at Olympic Stadium Tuesday night was Jim Fanning. Fanning who replaced Dick Williams as manager last September admits he is learning as he goes along. He had little managerial experience before stepping down from a vice-president's job. Some of the complaints of the fans may be justified, but, they are being directed at the wrong person. The front office should have to answer why Fann- ing was retained this year instead of getting an ex- perienced top flight field boss. His replacing Williams late in the season was understandable as it's tough to find a competent manager at that time of the year. It's hard to figure why the Expos who have spent a lot of money to get a strong roster wouldn't assure a successful team with a top notch manager. That's what the Toronto Blue Jays did this year in hiring Bobby Cox as manager. Cox proved he has ma- jor league capabilities at the helm of the . Atlanta Braves. ' Cox has been getting the most out of all of his 25 players and is sticking pretty close to a platoon system of using mostly right handed hitters against southpaw pitching and vice versa. The Jays have won four in a row since the all star break and have upped their season win total to 41 games .and are only three games behind the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees. • Friday night Cox was booed a bit when he pulled pitcher Jim Clancy with the bases loaded and two out. The cheers were restored quickly when reliever Joey McLaughlin got the next batter and16-0 win for Clan- cy over Texas. Damario Garcia has been a big reason for the suc- cess of the Jays. He has extended his current hitting streak to 11 games and has hit safely in 74 of his team's 85 games. He has never gone two games without a hit. Agreatday • Saturday is a day Olga Chipchase will never forget. At the Ironwood Golf Course she achieved a hole - in -one, something all golfers hope for, but, hardly ever realize. Mrs. Chipchase's dream came true when her tee shot on the fourth went 118 yards directly into the cup. Friedsburg Days sports A full afternoon of sporting activities are planned for the upcoming 1982 Friedsburg Days in Dashwood. Sports chairman Jibs Becker reports the arm wrestling competition tat, lie extended to include a children's division. ' The afternoon of Otily x swede will include tricy- cle and frog races for kidionto the preliminary rounds in adult arm wrestling and tug-of-war. The evening program at 7:30 will feature the arm wrestling and arm wrestling finals. Last year's champions. Larry Skinner in the men's division and Val Minhinnick, best for the ladies are ex- pected back to defend their titles. Anyone wishing further Friedsburg Days sports in- formation should contact John Becker at 237-3628. Brew for the Jays After five years of trying. beer will be on sale at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto for Blue Jays and Argo games. The announcement by Premier Bill Davis a week or so ago came as a complete surprise. It didn't take Toronto city council to give its approval. it seems a little ironic that the first night the alcoholic beverage will be on sale August 14. the Milwaukee Brewers will provide the opposition for the Blue Jays. Ladies dominate in lawn • • Ladies dominated play in the three weekly jitneys at the Exeter lawn bowling club. Tuesday night, Gertrude Hamilton was the winner with two victories and an ag- gregate of 24 while Stella Taylor was second at 2.3 and Mabel McKnight and Gordon lloggarth were deadlocked for third at 21 followed by Velma Huff and Charlie Ifendy.
