PM criticized |
for comment -

OTTAWA (CP) — The
Liberal party's critic for mul-
ticulturalism says Prime Min-
ister Brian Mulroney's ref-
erence tothe “immigrant
syndrome” in a recent joking
comment about Mila Mul-
roney’s background was “de-
grading.”

“When I read it, it just left
a_very-.bad taste i
mouth,” Sergio Marchi, MP

York West, said Tuesday. ~

The prime minister_made
the reference-during-a tele-
vision interview broadcast
Sunday night. He was de-
fending his wife against a re-
cent report that she asked
RCMP guards at 24 Sussex
Drive to salute her.

Mila Mulroney's aide in the
prime minister's office, Bon-
nie Brownlee, has denied the
report, and the prime minis-
ter said that only someone
“with a streak of cruelty”
would write such a story.

“The report last week was
written by Toronto Sun col-
umnist “Claire. Hoy. ~The
RCMP has since asked him

for information about his
source for the report, but
Hoy refused to reveal any-
thing.

“Of course, anybody who
knows anything about Mila
knows that it is the con-
trary,” Mulroney said in the
television interview with
Douglas Fisher, another Sun
columnist who also is the host
of a weekly TV program.

“Ti fact;~-as.-L.
caucus, Mila still has

igrant syndrome,” o-
ney continued in a joking
manner.

“When she sees somebody
in a uniform she salutes him.”

Mila Mulroney, whose fam-
ily name before her marriage
was Pivnicki, came to Canada
from Yugoslavia with her
parents when she was five
years old.

Marchi, who came to Can-
ada from Argentina at age
three with his parents, said
the prime minister was
wrong to joke about immi-
grants:who_may come from
militaristic states.

Ueberroth's plea to
players inappropriate,
says players’

NEW_YORK (AP) — The
union that represents major
league baseball players says
commissioner Peter Ueber-
roth’s direct plea to players
to take part in drug testing is
inappropriate.

Ueberroth told a Tuesday
news conference he had sent
letters to all players asking
them to submit voluntarily to
urinalyses three times a
year, beginning in 1986.
Players were asked to res-
pond by Friday. -

Alluding to a"federal drug
trial in Pittsburgh at which
seven players testified about
drug use-by players, Ueb-
erroth said baseball
been on trial and has suffered
public humiliation.” Failure
to institute testing would
mean “the start of a decade in
which baseball is synony-
mous with drugs.”

Ueberroth’s letter said, in
part: “Baseball is in trouble.
‘The shadow that drugs have
cast is growing larger ‘and
darker by the day . . . Base-
ball’'s reputation is at stake
and it is our responsibility,
-both-yours-and mine, to stop

damage is done.”
BYPASSES UNION
Don Fehr, acting executive
director of the Major League
Players Association, called
the commissioner's act “an

attempt to bypass the union.”

Fehr said he was leaning to-
ward recommending players
ignore the commissioner's
request.

-The union has an agree-
ment with baseball that does
not provide for testing.
There is a provision, how-

“has,

ever, that allows for new dis-
cussion on testing if one side
feels it is necessary.

“If they want us to con-
sider this again, make a
proposal,” Fehr said. “Re-
open the agreement.”

Don Baylor of New York
Yankees, 'the union's Ameri-
can League player represen-
tative, said the Yankees had
“voted 100 per cent not to
vote” on the commisioner’s

While many details re-
mained to be worked out,
Ueberroth said testing would
not include “amphetamines
or other prescription drugs,
or alcohol.” He said the tests,
done at random, would be
conducted by a medical team
in the players’ clubhouses.
There would be no penalties
levied against players whose
tests were positive.

from taking first place

By The Associated Press

If Kansas City Royals fail
to repeat as baseball's Amer-
ican League West champions,
their lost crown probably
could be traced to the Seattle
Kingdome.

The fifth-place Mariners,
coming off four. straight
losses to last-place Texas
Rangers, beat Kansas City on
Tuesday night for the 10th
straight time this season.
The 5-2 defeat kept the
Royals from taking first place
from California Angels, who
fell 8-1 to Chicago White Sox
but remain one-half game in
front.

“It's not a jin 's just
been good pitching on their
side,” Royals manager Dick

, Howser said after Mike
Moore held Kansas City to
seven hits. “We've scored 21
runs in 11 games — they've
shut us down.”

“I don't have the answers
about the streak,” Mariners
manager Chuck, Cottier said.
“I have no idea why.”

Elsewhere in the AL, Tor-
onto beat Boston Red Sox 6-2
and Phil Niekro failed again
to win his 300th game as De-
troit Tigers bombed New
York Yankees 9-1, giving the
Blue Jays a seven-game lead
in the East and reducing
their magic number for clinc-
hing the division title to six.

In other games, it was:
Texas 5, Minnesota Twins 0;
Milwaukee Brewers 10, Bal-
timore Orioles 6; and Oak-

Phil Bradley hit two
homers for the Mariners,
including a three-run shot off

with one out in the bottom of

the eighth inning to break a
2-2 tie.
WHITE SIX 8 ANGELS 1
Carlton Fisk drove in three
runs for Chicago, two of them
with a homer, and Tom Sea-
ver, 14-11, won his 302nd
game. Fisk's 36th home run
of the season and 32nd as a
catcher tied Lance Parrish’s
record for AL catchers set in
1982. Fisk later doubled
home a run to give him 100
RBIs for the season.

“A lot of people on the other team may be playing for

“Sometimes you can get people up and playing well
