ROY
GOT
THE
BAD
NEWS

NEW YORK (CP) —
They gave Toronto Blue
Jays manager Ray
Hartsfield the bad news in
a hastily-arranged news
conference at Yankee
Stadium an hour after
New York Yankees had
shellacked Toronto 8-2
Sunday afternoon.

The wie Jays will be
locking for a new
manager for next season,

“He was disappointed,
but he accepted that
certain things hadn’t
lurned out as we had
hoped, so it was not unex-
pected,” said Pat Gillick,
vicepresident in charge of
baseball operations,

_“The roughest job in
sports is running an
expansion club,’’ Gillick
added.

In Toronto's first three
seasons in the majors,
Hartsfield managed the
American League team to
records of 54-107, 59-102
and 53-109. The 109 losses
were the most for any
team in the majors this
season and it was the
third consecutive season
they had finished last.

“We have offered Roy a
position in the
organization, but he
hasn't decided what he
will do," Gillick said.

The 54-year-old Hart-
sfield voiced his ac-
ceptance of the decision.

“Tl be happy wherever
lam,” he said, “I thank
the Toronto organization
for giving me the chance
to manage on the major
league level,”

Candidates rumored for
his spot have included
Denis Menke, manager of
Toronto’s Class A
Dunedin farm club in the
Florida State League. To-
ronto, which is starting a
Class AA team in
Knoxville, Tenn., will not
field a team in Dunedin
next year. .

Rupert tied Caledonia 3-3
in the last five minutes of
the game.

' Doug Ingles, co-coach
of the Caledonia team,
said that he was very
pteased with the calibre
of the soccer played at
the playday, despite the
lopsided scores in three of
the six matches.

“In the soccer in this
area, if you fall behind
early itis very hard to get
back in the game,” Ingles
said. In the Hazelton-
Aiyansh game, the
Hazelton team scored
three goals in the first
five minutes and Aiyansh
never had a chance to
regain their balance.

Our game against
Houston could have
gotten out of hand, but the
Houston team, especially
the younger boys, held
their own very well in the
second half,'’ Ingles said.

The zone is operating
on a league format this

However, the standings
arrived at from the
league play will be used
only to determine seeding
for the zone final, to be
held on Nov. 3. Any
teams wishing to go to the
final would be welcome to
play, as no-one will be
eliminated.
Ingles said that this
would be the only big
playday this year, with
the rest of the games to
be played one or two at.a
time. The next playday
for the Caldonia squad
will be on Oct. 3.0;

Ingles and co-coach
Henry Drager are very
pleased with the team so
far,

“We have  severa)
young players who are
coming along very well,’’
said Ingles, ‘‘and with the
experienced players on
the team we should do
very well come time for
the zone final in
November.”
