CIRCLING THE NET . . . The Trail Junior Smoke Eaters were constantly circling around netminder Stan Makortoff of the Rebels. The Smokies unleashed 59 shots in a 14-5 win over Castlegar. Junior Rebels smoked by Trail in KIJHL play GUY BERTAND Staff Writer Only one voice could be heard from the Castlegar Rebels dressing following Friday night's 14-5 drubbing at the hands of the Trail Smoke Eaters and it wasn’t friendly. Coach Don Soroke had a few unflat tering words for his troups as they dropped their second game in a row following its season-opening victory The Junior Rebels were outplayed, outshot and outscored. If it wasn’t for goaltender Stan Makortoff they might still be announcing the scorers in the game. Makortoff faced a barrage of 59 shots while his counterpart in the Trail goal faced 46 shots which seems to flat ter the Rebels slightly The Rebels got off to a good start as they drew first blood, Dwayne Dergousoff popped one in as a Trail had just completed killing a penalty The teams traded goals throughout the first and at the end of the period Trail was up 4-3 The Lavallee duo of Remi and Dan picked the other Rebel markers in the first The Smokies took charge in the second period as they scored four unanswered goals. Trail’s Roger An- selmo scored back-to-back goals in the period and gave the hometown squad a lead which baseball announcer Bob Costas would say, “Elvis would have a better chance of coming back.”” However, the Rebels still managed to come out of the dressing room with some jump despite the lopsided score Trail struck with less than two minutes gone in the third to make the score 9-3. Lorne Kanigan, who retur ned to the Rebels lineup this week, scored to bring Castlegar within five goals. Yet Trail refused to sit on their lead as Chris Bruce potted one to make the score 10-4. The Rebels last goat of the night came off the stick of Taylor Har ding. Trail cranked it up another notch and finished the game with four more unanswered goals to drive home a statement that may be remembered later in the year Kanigan provided the little offensive spark the Rebels had. Last year’s leading Rebels scorer picked up a goal and three assists and his presence should help Soroke’s crew. Shawn McCadie picked up three assists in the loss Hot shooters for the Smokies were Layne Roland with the hattrick and one assist, Kevin Berdusco, who just rejoined Trail, had three goals and two assists. Anselmo and Gord Rebelato each picked up a couple of goals. The Rebels played last night against Rossland and their next scheduled home game is Friday against the division champion Nelson Maple Leafs Conditions at ballpark part of Candlestick lore SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Everyone seems to have a favorite horror story about Candlestick Park, the home of baseball's San Francisco Giants “Iwas coaching with the Giants and we were playing the Cubs in °87,”’ Chicago manager Don Zimmer recalled. ‘It was cold and windy and there were birds diving at the players “Ed Lynch was the pitcher and his hat was blown right off -his-head-and rolled right past the shortstop. Before anyone could catch it, it was pinned up against the left-field fence.”” Giants manager Roger Craig under stands the problems at Candlestick, and he’s seen them, too. “1 was playing with the Dodgers,”” Craig recalled. ‘Ron Perranoski was pitching and his cap blew off and stuck in the centre-field fence.” Few players, including the Giants, enjoy being at Candelstick *‘Before I got here, you would hear a lot of stuff about Candelstick,”” Craig said. ‘‘I told them I didn’t want to hear it “F-told-them- if you-don't want to play here we'll try to send you somewhere else."” Zimmer has played in Candlestick, coaches and managed but he’s still in a fog when it comes to the wind “I coached third base here for 81 games and I could never tell which way the wind was blowing,”’ Zimmer said. “I guess that’s why so many balls can get fouled up here.” In most parks, the direction the flags are blowing provide a good indication of the wind direction. But Craig says the Giants have developed a far more scientific method “Mike Krukow said when he’s pit- ching he always looks at the direction of the hot dog wrappers against the outfield fence,” Craig said. **You just have to see which way they are swirling.” Canucks juggle lines VANCOUVER (CP) — It didn’t take long — just one NHL game — for the Vancouver Canucks to shuffle the deck in search of a new wild card for Soviet—stars—igor Larionov and Vladimir Krutov. Following a 4-1 loss Thursday to the Edmonton Oilers on opening night, the Soviets found a new right winger on their line Friday in practice. Trevor Linden, runner-up in voting for rookie honors last season, was placed with the Soviets for last night's game at, the Pacific Coliseum against the Detroit Red Wings “I feel Larionov and Krutov aren’t getting enough done in the offensive zone as yet,”’ said Canuck coach Bob McCammon. *‘I think the right winger isimportant “Trevor's big and strong. He can get the puck back. He cah score and make plays. We'll try him there and see if it works.”” The Soviets played with right-winger Tony Tanti against Edmonton and the trio managed only four shots on goal, including two by left-winger Krutov Linden worked at centre against the Oilers and had four shots. His left winger, Greg Adams, managed six Vancouver's only goal was scored by checking winger Rich Sutter when his long shot was deflected in by an Ed- monton defenceman Linden, 19, is featured on the cover of the Canucks’ yearbook after scoring, 30 goals last season when he was the youngest player in the league. He. played most of his rookie years at right wing, but was switched to centre late in the season when injuries sidelined other pivots. “I'm going to take a different at titude towards things now that I'm back on the right side,” said Linden af ter taking some good-natured ribbing from teammates after practice ‘When I'm in the middle I have to create some offence “*Now I can just go up and down, be the physical player on the line Basically, that’s the way I started here last year. I'll let someone else make the plays.”” McCammon figures the Soviets will get more space in which to operate because Linden goes to the net hard and draws checkers. At six foot four, 208 pounds, he’s also extremely strong along the boards. Linden played with Adams and Sut ter for most of the opener a\ TREVOR LINDEN . . « joins Soviet duo “TI play simple because we've got enough fancy on the line,” Linden ad ded. ‘I wasn't moving the puck enough at centre and it was difficult to play with me “Now it’s a different role. They'll make the pldys and I'll go the net. If it helps the team more, I’ mall for it.” FACING ELIMINATION ‘Henderson hot as A's edge Jays TORONTO (CP) — Rickey Henderson hit two, two: run homers and Jose Cansceo drove in a pair of runs with a mammoth solo homer and a single, giving the Oakland Athletics a 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon, Behind the escape-artist pitching of Bob Welch, the A's moved a victory over from the American League pen nant They lead the best-of-seven AL championship series 3 1 and can qualify for the World Series witha victory this af ternoon in Toronto. Ina rematch of Game 1's starting pit chers, Dave Stewart for the A’s and Dave Stieb. The Jays lost for the first time with the SkyDome roof shut; their record stands at 11-1 Toronto outhit the Athletics 13-11 in the game Welch, the fourth right-hander started by the A’s in the series, entered the game burdened by a miserable history in post-season play. In eight appearances — six with the Dodgers and two last season with Oakland — he'd per mitted 28 hits and 19 runs in 21 innings for a strateospheric ERA The Blue Jays had plenty of chances to add to the tale of woe early in the game but their bats stalled in the clutch Toronto stranded six runners in the first four innings, three in scoring position. The Jays loaded the bases in the fourth inning with none out yet managed just a single run Manny Lee, who started his at-bat by swinging at a pit ch out of the strike zone, struck out. When Junior Felix grounded to second, runner Kelly Gruber put on the brakes toavoid Mike Gallego’s tag. Gallego chased him to record the out, allowing Felix to reach base safely and Tony Fernandez to score arun. Lloyd Moseby, who‘had a pair of singles and two walks in his other plate appearances, struck out to end the inning. Welch lasted 5 2-3 innings — his longest outing ever in the postseason. He gave up eight hits and two Toronto runs before being replaced by Rick Honeycutt Mike Flanagan, who brought a career 18-7 record against the A's into the game, allowed both of Henderson's homers as well as Canseco’s. Walt Weiss hit a one-out double in the third inning before Henderson sent Flanagan's pitch over the fence in straight-away centre field With two out, Canseco put Oakland up 3-0 with his solo homer, silencing the crowd of more than 50,000 Flanagan walked Gallego to start the fifth and paid the price with one out. Henderson hit his homer off the wire screening on the foul pole, barely above the left-field fence Toronto began a comeback in the fifth when Gruber hit a single and scored on Felix’s double Oakland made it 6-2 with a run off Duane Ward in the seventh. Dave Henderson hit a double and scored on Can- seco’s single. Fernandez hit a double and came in on pinch hitter Pat Borders’s single in the seventh inning, making it 6-3 by run- ning through third-base coach John McLaren’s stop sign. When he replaced Ernie Whitt with Borders, Cito Gaston made his first managerial move of the Series, excep- ting pitching changes. The Jays added two runs in the eighth as Mookie Wilson resurrected the crowd by scoring from first on a single. Lee hit an infield single, went to second on a grounder and third on a wild pitch. Moseby’s walk finished Honeycutt’s afternoon on the mound Wilson grounded Dennis Eckersley’s first pitch to second, narrowly averting an inning ending double play. With McGriff batting, the speedster broke for second and scored on a line single to right, also ignoring McLaren's ymmand to bring Toronto within a run George Bell flew out, completing an 0-for-5 day Eckersley pitched a ninth to preserve the victory CFL boss resigns after one season cutout Costas cut outs TORONTO (CP) — Bob Costas got to the SkyDome on Friday night and saw fans had cardboard pictures of his face The NBC announcer displeased “Elvis has a better chance of coming back than the Jays."” A printed message urged fans to hold up the masks each time an Oakland batter was put out Costas saw the masks as he walked into the NBC broadcast with the eyes TORONTO (CP) — CFL president Bill Baker announced his resignation effective at the end of 1989 1989 Baker, in his first full season, was named president and chief operating officer of the CFL on Dec. 12, 1988, following the resignation of then commissioner Doug Mitchell Mitchells role was split, with Baker handling the administrative side of the business while Roy McMurtry was named chairman and chief executive officer Baker had been expected to sort out his position with the league following reports he had already submitted his resignation and that it would be dealt with at a governors’ meeting in Hamilton later this month. “For the past several months, and specifically the last few days, there has been considerable speculation regar ding my future with the Canadian Football League,” Baker said in a statement released Thursday “1 -had—hoped—to_make_a_final decision after Grey Cup, but the con flicting statements published over the past few days have created a distrac- tion which is not in the best interest of the league. “I have today, therefore, effective Dec. 31, 1989, resigned as president of the Canadian Football League and will be returning to corporate business as soon as possible."’ some Toronto Blue Jays fans with his commentary during the first two games of the American League baseball playoffs. So a rock radio station_in_ Toronto had 50,000 masks printed and handed them to fans at the game. On the back of the masks was a quote from Costas fram Game 1 booth. “I like it,”” he said. “It’s a flattering picture.”* Costas added that the Elvis line was taken out of context. “I said it with Toronto down-by four-runsin the ninth inning against Dennis Eckersley,’ he said “It’s one of my better lines. I'm glad it’s immortalized.”” Lions roaring against Ti-Cats VANCOUVER (CP) — Eric Streater was always the other receiver, the pass catcher never featured in the offence All that changed Friday night when Streater used his sure hands to grab a place in the record book of the B.C Lions. Streater caught a club record 14 passes, including two touchdown strikes, to help the Lions stomp the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 46-27 in a wild CFL shootout “1 don’t think people really realized my talent until tonight,”” he said. **l always knew it. I didn’t give up on myself.”" Hamilton's defence was geared to stop B.C. wideout David Williams, the CFL's most dangerous long threat Williams caught five passes for 126 yards, but it was Streater who inflicted the major damage on the dazed Ticats. Streater finished with 234 yards in gains, including scoring catches of 22 and 13 yards from Matt Dunigan. “It's a great feeling to have your best game ever,’’ said the North Caroline product. “In college we ran a lot andT didn’t see the ball much."’ Streater, 25, was a quarterback and punter in high school. Later with the Tar Heels, the five-foot-10, 170- pounder played opposite wide receiver Earl Winfield, currently on the Hamilton injured reserve. ‘*We ran the ball at North Carolina continued on page B2 Soviets lead Vancouver VANCOUVER (CP) — Igor Larionov set up goals by Vladimir Krutov and Paul Reinhart as the Van- couver Canucks won their first NHL game of the season with a 5-3 decision Saturday night over the Detroit Red Wings.
