Kootenay Savin Where You Belong ngs overpowers Navratilova By JOH HENDERSON REUTER LONDON — Steffi Graf's bludgeoning ground- strokes ended Martina Navratilova’s six-year Wimble- don reign and kept her own Grand Slam hopes alive as she won the women's tennis final 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 Saturday. The defeat denied Navratilova, 31, an unprecedent- ed ninth Wimbledon singles title and ended her All England Club singles winning streak at 48 matches, two short of the record. Her last loss was to Hana Mandlikova in the 1981 semifinals. Earlier Saturday, Boris Becker earned a berth in the men’s final when he beat world No. 1 Ivan Lendl 6-4, 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 in a match that began Friday. The 20-year-old Becker, leading two sets to one when darkness halted play Friday, will try to make it a West German double when he goes for his third Wimbledon title against Sweden's Stefan Edberg in the men's final today. Graf, at 19 the youngest women's champion since Maureen Connolly won at 17 in 1952, made the generation gap tell as she followed her Australian and French Open triumphs by taking hold of the final with a run of nine games from 2-0 down in the second set to 3-0 ahead in the decider. Graf, a straight sets loser to Navratilova in last year’s final, produced groundstrokes of such ruthless precision that as the match wore on the champion was unable to maintain her familiar powerbase at the front of the court. With increasing regularity when she charged to the net, Navratilova found she was still not in position by the time the ball flashed past her. She also found that the Graf backhand, so vulnerable to Navratilova’s serve a year ago, was no longer a weakness — in fact there were no obvious flaws for her to exploit. At the end, the teenager hurled her racket into the : FIRING STRIKES . . . Van Quaia lobs in pitch during one of the dozens of games going on Saturday in the Castlegar Mixed Slowpitch League annual wind-up tournament. Tournament began Thur- sddy night with more than 35 teams and continues all day today with finals going this afternoon. CosNewsPhoto crowd, while her father Peter Graf hugged Czechoslo- vak coach Pavel Slozil and the tears flowed down Navratilova’s cheeks. “T've never been as excited about winning a match, not even when I won for the first time in Paris,” said Graf referring to her first Grand Slam title in 1987. Despite her lack of practice, Navratilova proved to be a gracious loser when she said: “I didn't succumb to the pressure . . . I succumbed to a better player.” Graf, in capturing her first Wimbledon crown, now has won 21 successive Grand Slam singles matches since losing to Navratilova in the 1987 U.S. Open final. If she can add the U.S. Open title in September she will join Connolly (1953) and Australian Margaret Court (1970) as the only women to achieve the Grand Slam. The loss kept Navratilova from breaking the record of eight titles she shares with Helen Wills Moody. Among those who witnessed Graf's victory from the front row of the Royal Box was 91-year-old Briton Kitty Godfree, who was responsible for Wills Moody's sole Wimbledon defeat in 1926. “I was very angry with myself for losing the first set. It was in my mind for the rest of the match,” Graf said. “In the second set I was really pumped up. I was very aggressive. I didn't want to lose like that.” Graf recovered her poise after losing her first set despite having three points for a 5-2 lead, then held her nerve when the match was interrupted for 44 minutes by rain at 3-1 in the final set. Of the nerve-racking delay when both players watched the rain through the locker-room window, Graf went on: “I saw Martina was down. “I thought ‘If she plays like she looks at the moment she will be in trouble.’ ” Having just reeled off six straight games, Graf made it nine in - an five service breaks in a row — to charge into a 3-0 lead in the final set. CFL HOPES by Edmonton over Toronto which drew four million television viewers. FREE FALL HAS STOPPED By BILL BEACON Canadian Press The Canadian Football League hopes the free fall has stopped. It remains to be seen, though, whether the league has just caught on a branch or landed safely in its attempts to win back fans who have deserted the 12-man game and nearly killed the league in recent seasons. Ticket sales are up, or at least steady, in most CFL cities. Optimism, a forgotten word in the last three yesrs, enters every conversation about the 1988 season, which opens July 12. “Td say last year was a big year for a number of clubs,” says Allan Klassen, marketing director of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “But this year, we've got to get up that mountain and get back to where we were a couple of years ago.” Winnipeg, beaten by Toronto in the East Division final last year, has sold about 20,800 season tickets, an inerease of 4,500 from 1987, thanks to a major marketing push. Ottawa, the CFL's weakest link, sold 11,993 single-game tickets in a “sell-a-thon” last weekend and will sell about 15,000 season tickets, up 5,000 from last year when the team finished last and nearly fell apart, says marketing director Mike Sally. DOME RECORD The B.C. Lions drew 30,000 for a preseason game against Calgary this week, a record for an exhibition game at B.C. Place. And the league is still beaming over last November's Grey Cup Game, a 38-36 vietory despite its Grey Cup, has stayed even at about 27,000 season tickets, after dropping about 5,000 a year in the previous two years. Commonwealth Stadium also drew 27,400 to last week's all-star game, a record crowd for that event despite bad weather. “To be close to holding our own is a victory of sorts,” said Edmonton's marketing director, Rick Hewson. Toronto has also held steady at about 17,000 season tickets but hopes to sell more by giving season-ticket holders priority for seats next year in the new SkyDome. Calgary has fallen 5,000 short of its target of 20,000 season tickets despite a strong finish last season and new management. The team remains $2 million in debt. PAY CAPPED Helping the teams, shocked by the’ sudden folding of the Montreal Alouettes just before last season, is a new salary cap of $3 million a team and improved television coverage, including the lifting of local blackouts on four games. Three years of-losses and the near destruction of the league made teams put cost-cutting and market- ing at the top of their agenda. So far, the push appears to have paid off. Winnipeg holds pop music concerts before its games. Edmonton players have made more than 200 appearances at public events, including joint ventures with the Stanley Cup champion Oilers. Toronto is expanding its “family fun” section at Exhibion Stadium. B.C. has scheduled summer home games at night and stopped trying to lure fans into a dome on a sunny weekend afternoon. “We meet on a regular basis with all the teams sharing ideas,” says Edmonton's Hewson. ‘s a feeling around the league that something has slid away from us and we have to be more active in holding our own and bringing people back in the park.” Checkers clinches top spot in league By CasNews Staff Checkers Pub clinched first place in the Castlegar Men's Fastball League with two convincing wins this week. Checkers now has 36 points on the season, 10 more than second-place Labatts and Labatts has just four games to play. The regular season closed out July 14, followed by a wind-up tour- nament. Checkers has lost just twice in 20 games this season, while Labatts has 13 wins and six losses in 19 games. Tudor Sports is a distant third with 15 points on seven wins, 11 losses and a tie. Hi Arrow Arms is in fourth place with six wins, 11 losses and a tie for 13 points. K and A Tire is in the basement with four points on two wins and 16 losses. Checkers’ Clay Liber leads the league's hitting with a .472 average. Liber has 25 hits in 53 plate appear- ances. Teammates Terry Taranoff and Gary Fleming are second and third, respectively. Taranoff has 22 hits in 50 at, bats for a .440 average, while Fleming sports a .408 average with 20 hits in 49 appearances. Labatts’ Don Savinkoff at .400 and Checkers’ Eli Soukeroff hitting .378 round out the top five hitters. Soukeroff leads the league's pit- chers with 15 wins in 17 decisions. Labatts’ Pete Evdokimoff has 11 wins and three losses. For full statistics see the Weekend Wrap-up, page B2. In play this week, Checkers WIMBLEDON FINAL blanked Labatts 7-0 in the battle of the top two teams. Soukeroff hurled a sparkling two-hitter to pick up the victory. Evdokimoff was tagged with the loss, giving up 11 hits, including a two-run home run to Elmer Williams in the third inning. Soukeroff helped his own cause with three hits in as many at bats, while Taranoff and Williams each went two for three. In Checkers’ only other game this week, the Pubmen trounded Tudor Sports 9-0 as again Soukeroff held the opposition to just two hits. Cam Sookro suffered the loss on the mound for Tudor. He gave up 11 hits, including two apiece to Liber, Jim Nazaroff, Kabatoff and Souker- off. It's Becker vs Edberg LONDON (REUTER) — Boris Becker, who became Wimbledon’s youngest champion in 1985, defeated a valiant Ivan Lendl Saturday to reach the final for the third time in four years. The 20-year-old West German, leading two sets to one when dark- ness halted play Friday, completed a 6-4, 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 win over the world’s No. 1 player in a semifinal match interrupted twice by rain. Becker will meet third-seeded Ste- fan Edberg of Sweden in today's final. The Swede beat ninth-seed Miloslav Mecir of Czechoslovakia 4-6, 26, 6-4, 6-3, 64 in Friday's first semifinal. Lendl, who survived three match points in the third set tiebreaker, appeared on centre court with his left thigh wrapped in a thick bandage. His impaired mobility proved too great a handicap against an agile opponent. Lendl, who lost to Becker in the 1986 imbledon final and to Australian Pat Cash in the final here last year, finally yielded on Becker's ninth match point. He popped up a half volley and Becker hit a winning fore- ‘hand to end a three-hour and 47-minute match. Lendl, winner of three French and three U.S. Opens, may fear that at 28, he is destined never to win the one title he covets above all others. Candelaria pitches second shutout CHICAGO (CP) — John Candelaria pitched his second two-hitters of the season and Jack Clark homeréd and singled Saturday as the New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox 40. Candelaria, 9-4, gave up a leadoff single to Gary Redus on his second pitch of the game and then retired 22 straight before Dave Gallagher sin gled with one out in the eighth inn ing. Candelaria struck out 12 and didn’t walk a batter in winning for the eighth time in his last 10 decisions. It was Candelaria’s fifth complete game of the season and second shut- out. The left-hander finished the game despite developing a blister on his pitching hand. CLark led off the second inning with his 17th homer and third in the last four games. It came off Jerry Reuss, 6-5, and landed in the centre- field bullpen despite a wind blowing in. Reuss, who has lost three straight, allowed nine hits, walked two and struck out four in 7 2-3 innings. Clark also singled to key a two-run fourth inning. Dave Winfield opened the fourth with » walk and went to third on Clark's single. Gary Ward singled to score Winfield and after Don Slaught's sacrifice’ moved the runners up, Willie Randolph hit a sacrifice fly. New York added a run in the ninth when Randolph doubled, took third on a balk and scored one out later on Mike Pagliarulo's single. TORONTO (CP) — Terry Stein bach hit a grand slam to cap a six-run third inning as the Oakland Athletics defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 11-3 on Saturday afternoon. Toronto's loss, the seventh without awin against Oakland, gave the Blue Jays a 39-42 record at the halfway point of the American League base- ball season. Curt Young, 6-5, went five-plus innings for the victory, giving up six hits including George Bell's two-run homer and Cecil Fielder’s solo shot. Mike Flanagan, 7-6, failed to get his 150th victory. Flanagan thought he'd reached the milestone with a 4-1 win over Detroit last week, but the club said before the game that a clerical error had been made. With Oakland leading 1-0 in the third, Dave Henderson hit an RBI double and Jose Canseco was hit by a pitch. Mark McGwire hit an RBI double into the left field bullpen to put runners on second and third. Flanagan loaded the bases by issuing an intentional walk to Don Baylor, whose double in the second gave the A’s a 1-0 lead. Steinbach hit Flanagan's first offering over the fence in right-centre field for his fourth homer of the year. He would join Ken Rosewall as one of Wimbledon’s most gallant failures. But Becker had words of consola- tion for the vanquished Lendl. CAN STILL WIN “I believe if Ivan is good enough to reach two finals and two semifinals at Wimbledon, he is still good enough to win the title,” he said. Lend] fully deserved the ovation granted both players at the end of the match. He said later he would not have played with his injury had it been “a regular Grand Prix tourna- ment.” The Czechoslovakian said of his left leg, “I'll know in a few days if it's a tear or a strain, but it was painful. Saturday's play lasted just one hour but provided exquisite tension every time Lendl came up to serve. He was taken to 19 deuces in his five service games, nine of them coming in the sixth game when he finally held serve to tie at 3-3, despite seven woeful volleying errors that gave Becker four break points. It was a similar story when Lendl served again at 3-4. His 10th double- fault of the match took the game to deuce for the fourth time before he again tied the score to the roar of the crowd. But in the 10th game, LendI's resistance finally crumbled after Becker saw five more match points come and go. Asked if he had ever thought it ing to be his day, Lendl re- plied: “I thought saving three match points last night and a lot of break points today might be a good omen. But Becker had too much power.” Looking forward to the final, Becker said: “I've beaten Cash and Lendl quite easily, so I have to be confident. I have always been men- tally tougher than Stefan but his vic- tory over Mecir will have done him a lot of good.” Becker has won nine of his 13 matches with Edberg and won their only previous meeting on grass three weeks ago, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the final at Queen's Club.
