Helpful Henke While talking about the Jays to say that newly acquired pit- cher Tom Henke has been helpful is a gross understatement. Since coming up from the farm club at Syracuse only about three weeks ago, Henke has been in to six or seven games and has yet to give up a run. We are not going to say we told you so, but, in a column of March 27 we listed Tom Henke as one of the 25 players Bobby ('ox should keep around. To make amends for this good thought we at the same time suggested Dennis Lamp should be let go and that would have been a horrible mistake. Lamp who was to be the saviour a year ago and wasn't has been great this year as a starter and a long relief man. Actually he has seven wins without a loss. All the Tiger and Yankee fans in the area are waiting imiSa- tiently for the Jays to flounder. They did sag a bit a few weeks ago and the Yankees crept up to about a game and a half away. The Blue Jays proved they are for real by again increasing that margin over the Bronx Bombers to seven full games. Two ball foursomes On Friday evening, 24 fun loving golfers met at the Ironwood golf course for the mixed two -ball foursome. Coming in first, with a score of 42 was the twosome of Carolyn Gilfillan and Randy Evans. Gail Murray and Peter ('zypyha claimed second prize with a 43. Susan Czypyha and Jamie Gaul gave a "valiant effort” for their prize but Lossy Fuller and Jerry Parsons saved their luck for the next Wintario draw. Everyone is welcome to come out for the next two -hall foursome which will be on Friday, August 23 with tee - off between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. Be sure to mark Sunday. September 8 on your calendar for the Nagger's Cup at Ironwood golf course. .: -:~x�...�.�4�`�... %'�.:La. �� "zY;«A o:�% SES. ?!'.o�3'� '�:'i'a6!�%?i�i:imo5t:i%.
