That's a question we are asking ourselves this week, One realizes the summer is almost over especially when our annual holidays have expired, football games have taken over on television and hockey training camps are starting. The holiday week has to be the shortest one of the 52 of the year. A lot of our time was spent watching four CFL football games along with listening to the Tigers. Wet, cool weather prevented much else. Most of the area baseball leagues have moved into their playoffs and hockey talk is beginning to become prevalent. Prospects for Team Canada started working out at Maple Leaf Gardens Monday morning in preparation for the first game against Russia which is scheduled for September 3. Over the weekend we talked to Randy Preszcator and find the fine young hockey prospect will be starting prac- tices in Markham on September 6 as that club prepares to defend the OHA Junior "B" championship. Some change Billy Martin, the manager of the Detroit Tigers must have thought about the old saying, "a change is better than a rest" after his club lost to the Cleveland Indians Saturday afternoon for their fourth straight loss. Martin decided a change in his batter order added with a bit of humour might shake his club out of a serious slump. The boisterous Tiger mentor put the names of his nine ball players for Sunday's game in a hat and drew them out for batting positions. This method could be called a 'batting lottery!', "Straw drawing" or a "mad hatter draw." The system actually worked as Detroit edged Cleveland and their ace thrower Gaylor Perry 3 - 2. What could be taken as the most amusing part of the deal was normally weak-hitting Eddie Brinkman's place in the clean-up spot. This wasn't so funny in the Tiger sixth when Brinkman doubled home the tying run and scored the game winner himself. In an attempt to shake his club up a bit Martin took Sunday infield practice at third base. After Sunday's first game win, the Tigers fell back into the same pattern they have used for the last month or so, that of being unable to get a hit with men on the bases. The idea of Martin's to shakeup his batting order isn't as silly as it may seem. With his hat selection, some of the stronger hitters could find themselves batting in the seventh or eighth position. Many times a manager finds himself in a bad position with men on base and the bottom of the batting order coming up. Martin's madness would certainly change. Sunday's first game would probably be the exception instead of the rule if it was tried more frequently. The pennant races in both sections of the American league are shaping up as real dandies. Despite the fact we are ardent Tiger fans, look out for those Yankees as World Series time approaches. Our Tigers are more than fortunate in being only a game or so out of first place at the moment. Their performances since the all-star break have been far from championship, but the Baltimore Orioles have been playing almost as badly. Varied sports Plenty of sports attractions are available again this year to visitors to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. The New Era waterfront program promises history making entertainment and competition for the enjoyment of visitors during the 20 days of the "Ex" starting August 16. A thrill ski show, bathtub racing, powerboat racing, dog swim, water-ski kite flying, radio-controlled hydroplanes and canoe jousting are some of the action-packed events to make the waterfront family fun for all. Aquarama will be produced and directed this year by Jack Perdue of Outboard Marine Corporation and will be an all- Canadian professional show combining suspense, beauty and laughs. It is the most daring water show ever staged in North America. Opening weekend this Saturday features high speed powerboat racing within the confines of the waterfront area. Top professional drivers from Canada and the United States will vie for the Belvedere Challenge Cup, Sunday, August 20 is highlighted with the 34th annual Lake Ontario dog swim, sponsored by Gaines Pet Foods.

The only other marker for the locals came in the first inning when Brian Taylor was on with a walk and counted on a single from the bat of Bill Wilson. Wilson went all the way on the mound for the Exeter club. Although he gave up a total of ten hits he was tough in the clutches leaving eight opposing runners stranded on the base paths, Chipchase best in Ausable golf Top honors in the weekly men's golf tournament at the Ausable golf course Tuesday night went to Ernie Chipchase with an 82.

Tigers bow in H-P play After winning the first game of the series in an eleven inning thriller, the Dashwood Tigers dropped two straight games to Thorndale and were quickly eliminated from the Huron-Perth baseball league playoffs. In the third and deciding game in Dashwood Sunday afternoon, Thorndale posted a 7 - 1 decision to earn the right to meet either Clinton or Walkerton for the league championship. The Tigers won the opening game of the series 7 - but Thorndale bounced back with avengeance to take the second game by a score of 16 - 4. The Dashwood club Sunday afternoon were quite similar to their Tiger counterparts in Detroit as they failed to get base hits at the right time. They left nine runners stranded while the Thorndale batters were touching the Dashwood pitching for 13 base hits and seven runs. The only Tiger tally came in the first inning when John Hayter doubled and scored as Jim Guenther was safe on a fielding error. Hayter led the meagre five-hit Dashwood attack with two singles to go with his opening frame two-bagger. Adding singles were Gary Hartman and Bill Schad°. Cooke was the top Thorndale batsman with two homers and a double to his credit off Dashwood starter lefty Dave Ratz who went the first seven innings. Jim Guenther moved out from his starting spot behind the bat to toss the final two innings. Fatal fifth In Dashwood's loss in the second game to Thorndale, the fifth inning proved to be very disastrous. Playing on their home diamond, the Thorndale boys erupted for ten runs in the fifth and were never headed, Dashwood starter Jim Guenther gave up a run in the fourth before he ran into serious trouble in the fifth. Bill Schade came into put out the fire and Eugene Guenther took over in the sixth and finished up picking up a total of six strikeouts.
