Eari'.' Races Pennant races in late June! Most seasons that remark c(iuld be classed as ridiculous. But. not this year. We would guess that three teams swill be in the thick of the battle in the American League eastern division from now until. the regular schedule ends in the early days of October. The three contenders will be the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers. Right now only three games separate •the top contenders. - Ml three teams have top pitching staffs and have the power at the plate to weld together a pennant contending combination. Sports Spotlight 'by Ross Haugh The only edge of the Jays and,Vankees could have over the Tigers would be in the bullpen while inexperience could be the weak cog in the 'Toronto club. One must remember that most of the present Blue Jays came up through their own minor system or were drafted from other clubs. Pat Gillick haus been much more successful in drafting than in trades.

That's a long cry from the time Jerry Garvin was the only southpaw. The Detroit bats have come to life in recent weeks thanks in part to the acquisition of Bill Madlock and the 21 game hit streak of Allan Trammell and the return to form of Kirk Gibson. We would predict right now that these three clubs will be close all the way and not more than two or three games will separate them at the finish. This area is full of Blue Jay, Tiger and Yankee fans so the balance of the'season should be more than doubly interesting. How about flipping a coin on October 3. ' Fish Fraud Officials of the Molson .Export Big Fish contest in an un- precedented move have taken away the prizes from two of the top 1986 entries. A father and son from Minnesota claimed to have caught muskies in Rainy Lake. After considerable investigation the pair admitted they must have made mistakes and the fish were not as large as claimed on the entry forms. As both fish were in the live release category only pictures are necessary to claim prizes. Contest people said photos submmtted with both entries did not seem to collaborate the huge size claim -- ed for the two fish. total to seven games Ernie Schlegel took the loss for Nairn, striking out two batters. and allowing five hits. Thompson with a double and Brian Horner with a single accumulated the Royals other hits. .
