Tigers’ fans go wild

of delirious fans trampled the
lower deck fence in Tiger
Stadium and swarmed on to
the field Tuesday night after
Detroit Tigers defeated Mil-
waukee Brewers and clin-
ched baseball's American
League East title.

Several hundred fans
sprinted through a gauntlet
of stadium security and De-
troit police officers, literally
stealing bases and tagging
home plate in jubilant cele-
bration of the team's first
division championship since
1972.

PETRI SKRIKO

Canucks look at Finnish

DUNCAN, B.C. (CP) —
Vancouver Canuks opened
training camp Tuesday with
right winger Petri Skriko of
Finland seeking a spot with
the National Hockey League
team.

Shriko, 22, arrived with a
reputation as a dynamic
skater who can score goals
despite his smallish stature
at 5-foot4l0 and 178 pounds.

“I heard nothing but rave
reviews last year from people
in Finland about Shriko,”
said Canuck general manager
Harry Neale. “It's seldom a

out, preserving a 3-0 victory.

At least 25 people were in
custody at a Tiger Stadium
detention area within 30
minutes after the game
ended, Const. Coy Kendall
said. They were arrested on
charges of disorderly conduct
and entering the playing
field, the latter a violation of
a city ordinance.

A stadium security officer
who would not identify him-
self said that at least three
security of police officers
suffered minor injuries.

“The fact he has learned
English is certainly an en-
couraging sign. With a lot of
those guys, you don't know
for the first year whether
they understand you or not.”

Vancouver made Skriko its
eight-round draft selection in
1981. He was played in two
world junior championships,
one world senior tournament
and the Olympics for Finland.

Skriko came to the Can-
ucks with the credentials
associated with present Finn
ish players in the NHL: Jari
Kurri of Edmonton Oilers,
Reijo Ruotsalainew of New
York Rangers and Risto
Siltanen of Hartford Whal

After the game ended
Tuesday, fans emptied the
stadium and clogged streets
and sidewalks surrounding
the ball park.

“I was a little bit nervous
at the end, figuring people
were going to get a little bit

Grosse Pointe. “But it seem-
ed like all the craziness was

Medical tests
for boxer Ali

NEW YORK (AP) — Mu
hammad Ali, the foriner
world heavyweight boxing
champion checked into Col
umbia Presbyterian Medical
Centre late Tuesday to

undergo further neurological
tests.

Ali, who left the hospital
last Tuesday after a five-day
stay, had been in West
Germany of a business trip.
He flew from London to New
York on Tuesday and told
well-wishers at Kennedy In-
ternational Airport: “I'm in
good shape. I'm a little tired,
but I'm in good shape.”

On Monday, a television
interviewer in West Ger-
many quoted Dr. Martin
Ecker, who was travelling
with Ali, as saying the
retired fighter has minor
symptoms of Parkinson's
Disease.

Ecker, who accompanied
Ali on his return to New
York, said in the interview
the former champion would
undergo further tests.

Ali, 42, was quoted as
saying in the interview, “I
always feel tired but don't
feel pain at all. I don't know
exactly what it is.”

His speech has been slurr-
ed and slow for the last two

| years.

Parkinson's Disease is a
degenerative brain disorder
that can eventually leave its

| vietim totally incapacitated.

In most cases, the cause is
unknown.
