August 27, 1989 Weight use may be futile FF" By MARLENE HABIB The Canadian Press They're familiar companions of fit ness enthusiasts — weights that can be strapped around the ankles or wrists and lightweight dumb-bells that can be easily carried. Such excess poundage is often used during aerobic exercises — running, walking, jogging and cycling, for example — in an attempt to expend more calories by making the body work harder But fitness experts are discovering that the lug-and-run training can be an exercise in futility In a study at the. University of approach to Missouri, 11 overweight people walked briskly with hand weights of 450 grams (one pound) for 30 minutes, They bur: ned only about 12 more calories than they did without the weights — a couple of Life Savers’ worth, reports the July diet and nutrition newsletter from Tufts. University in Boulder, Colo. People Wil heart problems or high blood pressure should be especially wary of walking with weights, says Tom Thomas, director of the exercise physio‘ sgy lab at the University of Missouri. Loading arms and legs with extra weight can raise blood pressure and thereby put excess strain on the heart. Thomas also warns healthy exer- cisers that weights strapped to the legs rather than held in the hands can alter stride, upset balance and increase the chances of leg injuries “As you add more weight and you're moving at a faster speed, there is more wear and tear on the body,”” says Jeanette Lanovaz, a fitness coun sellor at the Fitness Institute, which operates three clubs in the Toronto area “Although it’s not exactly the same, a person who is 40 pounds overweight and who runs is damaging his body more than if that excess weight wasn’t there. The heavier you are, the more strain you're putting on your body.” Lanovaz, 28, says carrying and wearing excess weight during aerobic activities is a trend that started about 10 years ago. But she says it has in- creased in popularity over the last five years because of the constant search to get the most results in the least amount of time **A lot of it is attitude. I tell my fit- ness class participants about the dangers of carrying weights while moving quickly, but they don’t listen They say to themselves, ‘I’m strong, I can handle it.’ Births & Funerals BIRTHS BACHYNSKI — To Shari and Tom Bachyn: ski of Vernon, a boy, born July 30 CHRICHTON /ROTKOP Debbie Crichton and Dana Rotkop of Proctor, o girl, born Aug. 17 DAROUGH / HARDEKOPF To Britt Darough and Werner Hardekopt, a be born Aug. 18.

A lot of baseball fans can’t imagine the game without him. When baseball commissioner Bartlett Giamatti an nounced he had banned the Cincinnati Reds manager Thursday, he did what was once unthinkable — he took baseball away from Pete Rose As a youngster growing up in Cincinnati, Rose fell in love with the game while swinging at his brother's pit ches in daily stickball games against the side of a seafood restaurant. Now he’s separated from the game whose history he rewrote. “They can take anything away from me, but they can’t take it out of me," Rose said recently Baseball has been more than a game to Rose. It’s been his life Since the first time he made his mark with a head first slide, Rose has approached the game like few others. Every game was an event, every at-bat an ultimate challenge, every hit another small step towards the Hall of Fame “I’ve never approached baseball as work,"” he said, after getting hit No. 4,192 to become the game's all-time leader “T've always thought of myself as a grown-up playing akid’s game.” His burning desire made him one of the most adored and hated players when he reached the majgr leagues. Former New York Yankees pitcher Whitef Fo nicknamed him Charlie Hustle after watching him play in a spring training game. Rose went on to hit .273 asa crew-cut rookie second baseman for the Reds in 1963, earning National League rookie-of-the-year honors MEMORABLE COLLISION Two incidents shaped Rose's image collision with Cleveland’s Ray Fosse as he scored the winning run at Riverfront Stadium in the 1970 all-star game, and a scrap with the New York Mets’ Bud Harrelson after a hard slide at second base in the 1973 playoffs A set of numbers testifies to Rose's place in the game: he holds the records for most major-league games (3,562), most at-bats (14,053), most sirigles (3,215), most seasons with at least 200 hits (10), and most games on a winning team (1,972). He also holds the National League records for most years played (24), most career runs (2,165), and most career doubles (746), among other records The switch hitter won NL batting titles in 1968, 1969 and 1973, was named the league's most valuable player in 1973 and the World Series MVP in 1975, and was chosen for 17 all-star games during his playing career He hit in a modern-day NL-record 44 consecutive games in the summer of 1978, engrossed in his chase of Joe DiMaggio’s revered 56- game streak. And he became baseball's all-time hits leader with a first-inning single off San Diego's Eric Show on Sept. 11, 1985 — passing Ty Cobb's last at-bat a home-plate when fans became Stieb and Wilson keep Jays flying TORONTO (CP) — Dave Stieb rebounded from a poor performance in Baltimore last weekend to throw a one-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers, while Mookie Wilson went 4-for-3 and scored two runs in a 7-0 victory Saturday for the Toronto Blue Jays. The win left the Blue Jays 14 games behind Baltimore in the American League East and pushed the flailing Brewers deeper into third place, 5 games off the pace Toronto is off to a 5-0 start in a 13-game homestand, with AL West also-rans Chicago and Minnesota due to be here after the four-game series with Milwaukee winds up Monday. They’ ve won 14 of the last 19 games Stieb, 13-8, had a no-hitter going until two out in the sixth inning when Robin Yount hit a sharp grounder to the right of third baseman Kelly Gruber. He knocked it down with a backhand stab but couldn't recover in time to make a play at first The veteran right-hander gaye up four runs.in six in nings Aug. 20, when Toronto could have gone into first place with awin in Baltimore. The Jays lost 7-2. On Saturday, he struck out five, walked four and hit his major league-leading 10th batter Batting leadoff for the first time asa Blue Jay, Wilson started the first inning with a single against Ted Higuera, 9- 5, stole second, reached third on an error and scored on a disputed play With the bases loaded and one out, Pat Borders hit a double-play grounder to shortstop Bill Spiers behind second, but umpire Tim Welke ruled that Spiers failed to touch the bag before relaying to first Consecutive singles by Wilson, Kelly Gruber and George Bell — who extended his hitiing streak to 17 games, matching his career. high — made it 2-0 in the fourth inning Fred McGriff led off the fifth with a triple and scored on Pat Borders sacrifice fly Toronto scored three times in the sixth for a 6-0 lead. Borders led off with his third homer and Higuera loaded the bases by hitting two batters and allowing a single Wilson, switching to the left side of the plate, greeted reliever Chuck Crim with a hit off the right-filed wall. He was held toa single due to a baserunning blunder by Manny Lee, who held on third after starting at second Lee hit a run-scoring grounder in the seventh with the bases loaded to cap the scoring Jays Notes: Toronto announced the signing of Baseball America college player of the year John Olerud, considered a gamble as a third-round draft choice because he expressed the intention of completing his college career at Washington State; last season the left-hander was 15-0 as a pitcher and led hitters in the Pacific-10 Conference by winning the triple crown (.464, 23 homers, 81 RBIs) Higuera brought a 7-3 career record against Toronto into the game Lioyd Moseby, 0-for-17 as the leadoff hitter during the homestand, had the day off Giant Expos victory SAN FRANCISCO(AP) — Tom Foley, who had been ina major-league slump, broke out in a major-league way Foley, who had only 10 hits in his previous 70 at-bats, hit a three-run homer and drove in another run with a double to lead the Montreal Expos to a 12-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.

Then, despite breaking his bat, Brooks lined a 3-2 pitch over the left-field, fence for his ninth homer, making it 7-2 “That was amazing,” Rodgers said. ‘‘I've seen that twice in my life, and the other time the guy was Frank Howard.’ Tim Raines followed with a double to right and scored on Tim Wallach’s single to centre. Jeff Brantley replaced McCament and walked Galarraga, then Fitzgerald singled, scoring Wallach. That made it 10-2 The Expos scored two more runs in the seventh on Robby Thompson's throwing error and a run-scoring single by Wallach. “None of them are éasy when you lose at this stage of the season, but what can you do when they hit the ball like that?”’ Giants manager Roger Craig said. ‘*They just beat the heck out of us.” B.C. talent leads team to overtime triumph DUISBURG, West Getmany (CP) — Two B.C. players scored 23 points each Friday to lead the then’s basket ball team to a 99-91 overtime victory against Mexico at the World Univer sity Games. 25th in the J.D.
