A bit of bad luck plagued the All- stars in their opening games as they eutshot-.and_out played both op- ponents but came out on the short end of consecutive 4-3 losses. In the first game April 12 against Surrey_the All-stars had a 3-2 tead with less than three minutes left only to see Surrey pot two late goals to steal the victory. Shawn Horcoff led the All-stars with one goal and two assists, while Darren Belanger and Kent Fauth added singles. Friday’s game against Beaver Valley was much the same, as the All- stars totally outplayed their West Kootenay rival but could not beat a hot Beaver Valley goatie; Tied at three, a poor line change led to the winning goal for Beaver Valley with only two minutes left to play. Horcoff once again led the All-stars with two goals while Belanger, on a pass from David Pucci, scored the other marker. Needing a win badly the All-stars regrouped Saturday to beat a tough team from Logan Lake. Trailing 3-2 early in the third the All-stars finally found the net scoring three answered goals fora 5-3 vic- tory. Horcoff with the hattrick-and-one assist led the All-stars, while Belanger and Jay Antignani chipped in with one goal each. Ryan Leckie and Belanger added assists.

They were playoffs. They won the Cranbrook tournament, came second in a Spokane tournament and brought tr- ophies home from Kimberley and Osoyoos. A big thank you goes out to head coach John Horcoff, assistants Lee Belanger and Bill Pottle, Jr., manager Debbie Fauth and also to Jerry An- tignani and Bill Carlson for their help on the bench. Global League is different BERN, Switzerland (CP) — The Global Hockey League, with 11 teams confirmed for a 60-game schedule beginning Nov. 1, will have rules and formats that will create a novel brand of the sport, says Canadian en- ei : trepreneur and GHL chairman Michael Gobuty. ~~ Hamilton and Saskatoon are the a Canadian cities with teams. Games willconsist_ of two 30- minute periods rather than the three 20-minute periods of other leagues; there will be no centre red line, which wil, reduce the number of offside whistles; a shootout will decide games tied at the end of rgulation play; and a penalty shot will be awarded against any team having a high-sticking in- fraction. At a news conference Saturday, Gobuty announced there will be fran- chises in Prague and East Berlin. Other European cities previously con- firmed are Lyon in France, Milan in Italy and Rotterdam of the Netherlands. And Gobuty said two more European cities will be added. Besides Hamilton and Saskatoon, franchises have been awarded to Albany in New York, Providence, R.I., Cleveland, Los Angeles and Miami, and Gobuty said three more cities will be added ‘‘in the immediate future.” Cleveland won't play in the first season. Franchises sell for $400,000. Owners will need to sell from 6,500 to 7,000 a game to break even, Gobuty said. The league will hold its first draft in June in Lyon. Gobuty said some players had been signed and announ- cements will be made by individual clubs. TOUGH START “It’s going to be tough getting organized in such a short period of time but we're going to have to get it done,’’ Gobuty said. ‘‘Most of the teams have a general manager and a front office staff in place. meant to be enjoyed.

So he calls himself the teacher- sponsor and tells the students to con- sult a golf pro if they are having trouble with their game. So far though, the seven-man, troubles at all. After four matches this season the Stanley Humphries secondary school team is undefeated and could be on track for a West Kootenay champion- ship, according to Hickey. “The team is certainly exceeding my. expéctations this_year. I thought we'd be middle of the pack and now | think we have caunane shot at the ‘West Kootenays,”’ he said.

It was Archambault, with a 39 on the back nine at Castlegar and District Golf Club Thursday afternoon, who led SHSS in an 8-4 win over J.L. Crowe of Trail. Carlson was second lowest with a 40 on the par 36 back nine. The win raises SHSS's record to 3- 0-1 and concludes the season series with J.L.

If SHSS wins the West Kootenays it would have to playoff in the East/West Kootenay championship in which the top two teams would qualify for a provincial tourney at Williams Lake in May 28th. “‘rthink we have an excelient chan- ce (to make it to provincials),’* Hickey said. Jays’ McGriff trying to shake off lingering legacy DUNEDIN, Fla. (CP) — While Fred McGriff posted some impressive numbers and inspired “some superlatives in 1989, his lingering legacy is The Slump. Nobody knows that more than McGriff, the 26-year-old first ‘baseman_who’s often compared to Hall of Famer Willie McCovey. After spending the first five months of 1989 launching himself into MVP status, McGriff slumped in Septem- ber, hitting .211 and driving in a measly 10 runs. In the playoffs again- st Oakland, he went 3-for-21 with no S. “Last year I might have been tired, but basically my mechanics were just off,” McGriff said. ‘*I tried so much, but by the end of the year I just couldn't do it."” To further frustrate McGriff toward the end of the season, pitchers steered clear of the inside part of the plate, inviting him to jerk outside- corner offerings to right field. It worked wonders. The big left-handed batter tried to compensate by adjusting his stance — and that’s when the trouble started. It got so bad, McGriff said, he felt like thinking like that. You have to be able to do it automatically."” McGriff spent a quiet winter at his home in Tampa, Fla., wondering how to get a fresh start in this, his fourth season. DON’T WORRY “There's a lot of pressure in baseball,’’ McGriff says. **I’ve lear- ned you can’t go out there and worry about what yc ‘id yesterday. Every day’s a-new day. You've got to keep your head clear.’’ McGriff’s last home run came against-the-Chicago_ White -Sox_on. ‘Sept.-4,-a2 typical moon shot-that-lan- ded five rows deep at Comiskey Park. He still ended up leading the league with 36, giving him 90 for three seasons. He also placed second to Rickey Henderson in walks with 119; was second in slugging percentage at .525 and fourth in extra-base hits with 66. His RBI total — 92 — was short of the standard that might be expected for a cleanup hitter with 36 homers: Tony Kubek, the former Jays broad- caster, has said McGriff is too selec- tive at the plate, drawing walks in- stead of driving in runs. McGriff worked on his stroke all winter, sometimes pounding balls out of the yard at his old high school in West Tampa, otherwise standing in front of a mirror .
