A helpful attack Heart attacks seem to be more prevalent among younger men these days and even a mild case usually changes their life styles and habits considerably. For one Canadian a heart attack has changed his way of life and attitude and made him a success at his profession. We're talking about John Hiller, who has been a stan- dout pitcher for the Detroit Tigers during the first part of the 1973 American league baseball season. At the age of 28, Hiller at the time a so-so pitcher with the Tigers suffered a heart attack and his baseball career appeared to be finished. It wasn't until last July that doctors, Tiger officials and Hiller himself were convinced he was physically able to return to the pressures of major league ball. The first step by the Detroit club was to name Hiller a minor league pitching coach. In July of 1972, he returned to the majors and has turned into the top man on the Tigers relief staff. To show how much confidence manager Bill Martin has in Hiller, he had the Canadian southpaw up on his feet and warming up in all but three of the first 44 games this season. To date Hiller has two wins and 10 saves for the Tigers, which is a very creditable record, to say the least, Hiller is more surprised than even the doctors who said he would never play ball again. He remarks, "Every day, every time I go out to the mound, I still wonder why. Why, all of a sudden, after 10 years of pitching I am doing so well. I knew I could come back and pitch, but I didn't know it would be this well." "I think the other guys are just as surprised by what I've done this season. I never pitched this much in my life. I've never been an outstanding pitcher. I've always been a hot and cold hurler, Hiller may someday look back on the heart attack as the best thing that ever happened to his career. Certainly it has been the most significant. Those who knew him before readily notice the difference in Hiller between then and now. And he doesn't deny it. He explains, "My outlook is totally different from what it was, Now baseball is just a job for me. And this job is not the last thing in the world. It's not as important to me as it was before. Something has happened to me that's far more serious than anything that ever happened before. "Sure I like to do well every time I go out there, but if something happens, if I don't do well, it's not the end of the world. Before, I was always uptight, afraid I wouldn't do well. I formerly put a lot of pressure on myself. Now I'm able to take the games day by day," Hiller's attitude towards pressures is an excellent one. We know this is very difficult to achieve as everyone strives to be successful and in baseball the name of the game is win- ning. Contracts are renewed because a player is helping his team. A person who doesn't take time to worry about his or her accomplishments certainly has more time to spend in making the job not only successful but more worthwhile. The same attitude as Hiller's has been adopted by the Tigers top starting pitcher Joe Coleman. While playing in Washington, Coleman was well known for his temper tan- trums. Since coming to Detroit, he has had a complete change in behaviour. Win or lose. Coleman sits calmly in front of his clubhouse cubicle. modestly fending off all mention of in- dividual achievement. Coleman says he learned the proper attitude from his father who spent about 10 years in the big leagues in the 40's and 50's. He continues, "I guess I learned from my father that the breaks even up. especially when you are with a good club. That had a lot to do with my attitude in Washington. The team wasn't winning and every time you went out there to pitch, you felt like you had to win or have a lousy season. You knew the breaks would never catch up with you." "But in Detroit, it's a different story. If you lose a tough game, you know you'll be back out there in three days with a chance to make up for it. If you look back on the games I've won, you'll see the guys have gotten a tremendous amount of runs for me. They also play great defence behind me." A change of pace After recent periods of hot and muggy weather news of hockey activities comes as a pleasant relief. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets are already formulating plans for the 1973-74 season. The Jets will be competing in a new Continental Senior league to be operated by the Ontario Hockey Association. New Hamburg and Sterling Heights, Michigan club have been added as new entries to the seven clubs in last year's senior "B" grouping. Those clubs were from Durham, Stratford, Woodstock, London, Bothwell and Preston along with the Jets. Owen Sound and Ingersoll are possible ad- ditions, A faithful follower of the Jets over the past few seasons, Ernie Dobinson has been named president of the club. Barry Beech will be honorary president and Harry Loyens is vice- president. Jim Thompson is' the club secretary and Doug Galloway will handle the financial duties. Don Urbshott returns as manager and his assistant will be Hugh Davis, Jack Nairn returns as playing coach. Nairn has the dis- tinction of playing on four Ontario championship hockey teams. He was on champion St. Marys midget and junior clubs and has been With the Jets when they won the OHA in- termediate "B" and senior "B" crowns. Newly appointed publicity director of the club, Steve Storey tells us one of last year's stars Dick Doughty may be optioned out to the Whalen's Corners Hornets on a 24 hour reeall basis. 02 a. 442,124i.. tz 171 R122ait tX(41122 13 ro '4. 442;212 4.4 4 ,•',2 tits It 42 44.4,C2 DIA NI 01..121: /6442242 0.02rY.
