r News April 30, 1986 On The Street. . . QUESTION: Do you agree with the provincial government's decision to allow pubs to stay open on Sundays during Expo? ¢ ~e Joel Harris I'm ambivalent about it. I don’t know if we need our bars open any more than they are. As far as Expo's concerned, I guess it’s a good idea. Teresa No. I don't believe in drinking on Sundays or at all. John Lebedeff It's a democratic country. I think if they allow Expo to open, why not others? Les Davis No. It can increase the amount of drinking and consequently the num. ber of fatal accidents. Six days a week is enough. Anderson I agree with it because I think if people are in the city for a short time on holiday they should have those facilities available to them. chance during the week so they could go during the weekend.

Instead of remaining open until midnight, Cranbrook’s long distance board now closes at 6 p.m. Clark said the move was made because of a downturn in call volume in the Koot enay region. He said no extra staff has to work in either Kelowna or Kamloops to handle the additional traffic. SAVES MONEY He also said the company saves money by not having to hire managers to work nights and weekends. B.C. Tel plans to close the Cranbrook office completely in September. Since those plans were an nounced, half of the 70 em ployees in Cranbrook have accepted transfers. Those remaining can either accept transfers or quit.

Clemens sets record By The Canadian Press Like any record-breaking performance, Roger Clem ens’s feat was something to behold. The Boston Red Sox right-hander struck out 20 Seattle batters Tuesday night, setting a major league record en route to defeating the Mariners 3-1 in an American League game. “I saw Catfish Hunter pitch a perfect game, I've seen Mike Witt, but this has to be one of the tops,” said Boston manager John McNamara. “It was a super game, probably one of the best games I ever saw,” Red Sox pitching coach Bill Fischer said. “He threw awesome from start to finish. “It was something.” Seattle manager Chuck Cottier praised Clemens for doing something “that has never been done in the history of the game.” Clemens, 4-0, gave up three hits and walked none. The 20 strikeouts broke the record of 19 accomplished by Tom Seaver of New York Mets in 1970, Nolan Ryan of California Angels in 1974 and Steve Carlton of St. Louis Cardinals in 1969. Washington's Tom Cheney struck out 21 in 16 innings against Baltimore in 1962.

Boston's Dwight Evans took care of all the Red Sox runs with a three-run home run with two outs in the seventh inning. Evans delivered after Gorman Thomas's homer with two outs in the top of the seventh put the Mariners up 1-0. ANGELS 4 BLUE JAYS 3 Rick Burleson raced home from second on a bizarre fielder’s-choice groundout in the ninth inning to give California the win. With one out, Burleson singled to centré and moved to second when Ruppert Jones was awarded first after being interfered with by Toronto catcher Jeff Hearron. Wally Joyner then bounced into what would have been an inning-ending double play, but he was ruled safe after pitcher Mark Eichhorn, 2-1, had taken the relay throw from second. As Eichhorn stared in disbelief at first base umpire Al Clark, Burleson alertly raced home and beat Eichhorn's wild throw to the plate.

Tuesday night, manager Buck Rogers's Expos picked on Cincinnati pitching ace Mario Soto in defeating the Reds 7-4 with the help of four home runs in the fourth inn- ing. Andre Dawson, Hubie Brooks and Tim Wallach hit solo homers, then Mike Fitz- gerald’s two-run home runs completed the binge that tied the Montreal club record for homers in an inning. Soto, 2-2, became the 11th pitcher in baseball history to surrender four homers in an inning and the first in the majors since Milwaukee's Mike Caldwell gave up four in 1980.
