Times Advocate, 1984-09-12, Page 101i1Ftrn►-r►uvtx.unit, ooptomoor Is, 16064 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Wire to wire. That's the accomplishment of the 1984 edition of the Detroit Tigers. Only a miracle can stop Sparky Ander- son's team from winning the American league eastern pennant. At the time of writing with 19 games remaining for the Tigers and 20 for the Blue Jays, the magic combina- tion number of Detroit wins and Toronto losses is down to nine. The Tigers have received permission to print and sell tickets for the AL playoffs and the World Series. They will be sold through public mail order. Ticket orders must be accompanied by a certified cheque or money order, payable in United States funds. Sales will be liminted to four tickets to the game of the customer's choice, club president Jim Campbell said in a statement. The Tigers reserve the right to substitute tickets depending on availability, the statement said. If they win the division title, the Tigers would play host to the final three scheduled American League playoff games on October 5-7. If the Tigers qualify for the World Series, they would hold games three, four and five on October 12-14. But that would change if the National League's Chicago Cubs qualify for the Series. Because Wrigley Field is not equipped for ”fight games, the Tigers would play host for games one, two, six, and seven on October 9, 10, 16 and 17. That also will force Tiger fans to indicate on their ticket orders both a date and a corresponding code letter. For a non -Cubs series, the Tiger Stadium games October 12-14 are designated games A, B and C. For a series with the Cubs, games October 9 and 10 are designated A and B and games October 16 and 17 are designated C and D. Mail orders for both the league championships and the world Series should be addressed to: Detroit Tigers, Agent; American League Championship Series; P.O. Box 4646; Detroit, Mich., 48232. Tickets for the American League playoffs are pric- ed at: $20 for box seats, $15, reserved; $8 pavilion; and $6 bleachers. World Series tickets are priced at: $30 for box seats; $25, reserved; $15, pavilion; and $10 bleachers. All orders must include a $3 handling charge and a self-addressed stamped envelope, the statement said. Orders must specify either American League championship series or World Series and orders for the playoffs and the series must be mailed in separate envelopes. No decision has been made on the sale of over-the- counter tickets, the statement said. On the same subject, officials of radio station WJR in Detroit seem to be confident the Tigers will be in the World Series and their opponent will be the Chicago Cubs. Thursday night, WJR carried a very extensive and interesting program on the history of the Cubs, going back to the early 1900's. Some of the more famous Cubs mentioned were Charlie Root, Charlie Grimm, Stan Hack and Ernie Banks. Included was the famous World Series incident when Babe Ruth is supposed to have pointed to the right field fence just before hitting one of Charlie Root's pit- ches into the same area. The Cubs with a current six game lead over the New York Mets appear to be fairly sure of winning their divi- sion. Manager Jim Frey has been getting excellent pit- ching performances from fellows like Rick Sutcliffe, Scott Sanderson, Dick Ruthven and Steve Trout. Thanks to Legion The R.E. Pooley Exeter branch 167 of the Royal Canadian Legion is continually supporting area youngsters in minor sports.

A special mention goes to Dave Dalrymple, a first year pee wee who was pressed in- to service as four of the ban- tams didn't show up for this important series. Dave covered his defensive position well and stood tough against some extremely fast pitching. Those parents, players, and coaches who were involved in these games appreciate his efforts as he had the game winning RBI in game one. %Then )Tin go awa), the nerd for blood doesn't. t„ ! iJ • BLOOD (:hr before Mn go.
