Navratilova wins Wim

LONDON (AP) — Martina Navratilova gained a
place in history and protected her No. 1 ranking with a
1-5, 6-8 victory over Steffi Graf Saturday for her eighth
women's champiénship at Wimbledon.

Winning one for what she called “the Geritol
generation,” the 30-year-old left-hander brought a
frustrating seven months of semifinal and final losses to
an end with a classic grass-court display.

She needed seven set points to take the first set, but
wrapped up the match on her. own serve on match point
No. 2, jumping with joy as Graf's forehand service retarn
hit the netcord, tried to crawl over, and fell back for the
clincher.

Graf, the West German who turned 18 three weeks
ago, could have taken over the top, spot in the women’s
rankings with her 46th consecutive match victory and

first Wimbledon title.

She had dropped just one set in the tournament and
beaten Navratilova in their last two meetings. The
whispers said the West German teen-ager had the old

champion psyched out.

“MEANT TO BE"
But it was a bad time and a very bad place to

set that “OK, this is just meant to be.”
It was a Fourth of July pienic on the lawns of
southwest London for the naturalized American.
“I have beaten myself a couple of times, but I didn't
want it to happen here,” said Navratilova, who wrote in
of

about being a

her
champion as she was growing up in Czechoslovakia.

“I wasn't going to be nervous,” she said, “All those
people saying, ‘Oh, she's not ps fit.” They
just don't know me. That just isn't going to happen here.”

Seven pi wi final had
P d seven Wimb No tennis
court in the world holds so much of an advantage as the
Centre Court of the All England Lawn Tennis Club does
for Navratilova.

“It's just built up over the years,” she said. “The
confidence can only come from being there so many
times. I thought, if it's time to win a tournament, this is
the one to win.”

“Martina on grass is a different player from other
surfaces,” Graf said. “She was playing a great match, she
was serving well, and she didn’t miss any volleys at all.”

The 101st men's singles championship will be decided

craves against

Australia’s Pat Cash.

Graf was raised on Europen’s clay courts and after
beating Navratilova in three sets for her first Grand Slam
tournament victory at the French Open last month she
said that she was not ready to win at Wimbledon, where
serve-and-volley is the key.

Graf zoomed through the first six rounds with the

loss of just one: set.

But in the championship match, Navratilova showed

that Graf's grass-court game does need some polishing.
The left-hander won it where she feels most comfortable,
at the net.

Graf served five aces to Navratilova’s one.

Zokol shares
lead in Open

OAKVILLE® ONT. (CP) —
Richard Zokol of North Van-
couver eagied the 18th hole
Saturday to cap off a 4
under-par 68 and move into a
share of the lead with South
African native Dave Frost at
the end of the rain-suspended
second round of the 78th
Canadian Open golf tourna-
ment.

Zokol, 27, who has finished
as the top Canadian in the
$850,000 national champion-
ship in three of the last four
years, had to wait an extra
day to play his second round
when a series of thunder-
storms halted play Friday
with half the field still on the
course or yet to tee off, in-
cluding Zokol.

Zokol, attempting to be-
come the first Canadian in 33
years to win this national
championship, completed 36
holes on the Glen Abbey Golf
Club course in 138,six shots
under par.

Tom Purtzer who complet-
ed the second round with a
71, Pat McGowan and Brad
Faxen trail by two shots
heading into the third round
today, with 140 totals.

Zokol started the morning
round at 2-under 70 at the
Glen Abbey Golf Club, made
the turn at 3-under but lost a
stroke when he bogeyed the
par-3 15th after ending up in
the bunker.

But he sank a 25-foot put
on the par-5 16th to get back
to 3-under.

“That calmed me down,”
he said.

Zokol picked up another
stroke when his 4-iron second
shot ended up five feet from
the hole on the par-4 17th for
another birdie.

FEELING GOOD

“I started feeling good
with that shot,” he said.

On the 500-yard, par-5
18th, he hit “an absolutely
perfect” 5-wood to three feet
from the hole to set up the
eagle.

The field was cut to the low
71 players who had 147 or
better and the third round
began an hour later.

Ray Stewart of Victoria
finished his second round to-
day with a 73 for a 145 total
and Dan Halldorson of Bran-
don, Man., shot 74 today for a
147.

Fisk mad at White Sox

CHICAGO (AP) — Carlton Fisk, one of the great
catchers of his time, is mad. But unlike the character who
wouldn't “take it any more,” there isn’t much Fisk can do

about it.

A 10-time American League all-star, Fisk is back to

and illness took their toll last year and Fisk's numbers fell off
drastically as he finished with 14 home runs and 63 RBIs.
If he had any hopes things would change for the better,
they were dashed this pring. Fregosi decided that Karkovice
would be his catcher, backed mainly by Hassey.
Fisk was slated as a sometime designated hitter, a

Reflections

 & recollections

CHARTERS
IMPRESSED
BY MONKS

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is the conclusion of a
two-part column about Westminister Abbey in the Fraser
Valley.
Despite the time I have known them, these men
never cease to amaze me. No one is ever in a rush, as one
l] raises his voice giving orders, but things always get done.
Not only are there scores of regular housekeeping and
monastic chores and frequent guests to care for (there
must be at least 40 tonight), there are always extra jobs.
For example, all the telphone lines, electrical and
plumbing fixtures, painting, tile setting and landscaping
is being done on the residence by the monks. As well, the
inch-thick pieces_of stained glass left over from the
church windows: have been carefully arranged in frames
and set in concrete by Frater John Bragganza to form
attractive new windows for the dormitory chapel.
The most jon in the ie

“waste not” tradition is being done by cabinet maker |

Brother Peter. Several years ago the monks cut down a
number of large maple trees on the woodlot below the
abbey. Brother Peter saved them from a trip to the
monestary fireplace, had them cut into planks, cured the
wood and spent the winter cutting and planing them into
innumerable jigsaw piles and pieces of lumber which arg
now coming into being as elegant Danish-style, built-in
desks and beds in the residence rooms; all of it done with
donated or made-over tools.

“The last thing to go in will be the carpets — when
everything is clean,” I was told. A professional carpet
layer had offered to do it on his days off, but when at the
last moment, the carpet layer was prevented from
carrying out the work, he came up and gave instructions
on the technique to— Father Nicholas, the abbey
mechanical expert and naturally, a Swiss. When someone
suggested to him that now he knew all about carpet
laying, his usually stern face eased into ablatific smile and
he said in his dry fashion. “Not quite, but I do know all of
the things that’ can go wrong.” Everyone knows, of
course, that they wouldn't dare. Father Nicholas is
another perfectionist.

The residences are unusually quiet — only Brother
Stephen hurriedly installing an electrical fixture a brief
respite from the setting with the merry Newfoundlander
Brother David; and Brother Meinrad who is taking
advantage of the good weather to do some outside
staining. No brother Peter to be found. Father Abbot, the
Right Reverend Eugene Medved the pragmatic visitary
of Westminster and in a very real sense father of the
abbey, had paid a visit that morning and suggested that
the brother take a break from his cabinet work. Since
under holy obedience that is an order, Brother Peter by
cleaning out his extensive workshop.

I had to come down the “Appean way” — my own
name for the right foot — wide rock road to the lower
property and the work shop. It had been built by the late
Brother Josephn some 25 years ago from huge stones
that he had dug up on the farm. “They got in my road-so I
made them into a road,” he said.

A former mushroom farmer and a Swiss, he had
joined the community and had been with the advance
party when the monks had started preparing Many

wonder that the Benedictines have been around for 1,500
years.

When I puff my way up the hill again I find that
Brother Mauris the head gardener, has changed his work
clothes for Roman collar and cassock and is conducting a
group of visitors about the monestery while several
younger monks are mowing and raking the lawns.
Finally, it dawns on me why they get so much done
around here — they just keep doing.

The bells are ringing now for Vespers which is the
Liturgy of the Hours as described by St. Basil: “When
evening approaches and the day is already far spent,
Vespers are celebrated in order that we may give thanks
for a hat has been given us, or what we have done well
during the day.”

Meanwhile, the enticing smells of good things to
come are insinuating themselves down the corridors from
Brother Benedict's vast kitchen. Like Napoleon's soldiers
of almost 200 years ago, the monks and their guests
march best on a full-stomach.

I have not seen my “boss,” sculpture Father
Dunstan, all weekend. He is off taking the services in
some neighboring parish — another “extra” for the
priests here. Last Thursday we bent and contorted the
re-inforeing steel for the plaster mold of his latest
sculpture. When they pour the final (cement) casting I
will have gone. By the time Iget back in November it will
be hanging in the church and he well on with his 15th
sculpture (out of 20). All together, it gives one a sense of
eterna] timelessness — a fine perspective adjustor in a
frenctic world.

catching almost every day for the Chicago White Sox but
even that doesn't temper his mood. He knows it is not by
design but necessity.

‘Two years ago Fisk, who was then 37, was turned into a
left fielder by then manager Tony LaRussa and former
general manager Ken Harrelson.

The reason given was that such a switch, which also
included playing first base, would lengthen Fisk's career.

Fisk thought otherwise, especially after coming off of
one of his most productive seasons in 1985 when he reached
career highs of 37 home runs and 107 runs batted in.

Fisk didn’t hide his anger and there were those who
thought his objections were self-centred, that he was more
concerned about extending his personal records as a catcher.

“I don’t play the game for records,” said Fisk. “I play
the game because I like the game and I'm pretty good at
what I do.”

“The only thing that has changed is they found out,
again, that nobody else can catch,” said Fisk, refusing to
gloat over the situation

Hassey, who has had a career full of injuries, was on and
off the disabled list. And Karkovice, a fine defensive catcher,
was batting a horrendous .065.

In another corner of the clubhouse, Fregosi, unsolicited,
said “I have to tip my hat to the man (Fisk). I've asked him

Pair manage record feat

LONDON (AP) — Richard Branson and Per Lindstrand
will go into the Guinness Book of World Records as the first
hot-air balloonists to cross the Atlantic, despite their crash
landing at sea, an official said Saturday.

CFL scoring leaders otter Lindstrand said a button which was to separate their
friday some: Cousrrero LA wt ) gondola from the balloon failed to work, preventing them
from making a proper touchdown on land.

Whether their Thursday-Friday flight from Maine
meets the more exacting standards of the International
Aeronautics Federation is another matter.

“They are the first to cross; it was a phenomenal feat,”
said Guinness marekting executive Anna Nicolson. She said
they also broke three other records that would go in the
book: for the largest hot-air balloon, the fastest hot-air
balloon and the longest distance for a hot-air balloon.

“They have undoubtedly flown across the Atlantic in a
hot-air balloon and I don’t think there’s any question about

Tasker said Lindstrand as senior pilot must first file a
claim for the British distance record. He said the
French-based federation will then decide whether he broke
the hot-air balloon world distance record of 1,470 kilometres.

Nicholson said as far as Guinness is concerned, the
records would stand providing the balloonists filed
verification of the times, distances, and the fact that they
touched down on land briefly before crashing.

But rival British balloonists Don Cameron and Jim
Howard said the circumstances of the ditching just off Mull
of Kintyre peninsula on Scotland's west coast could keep
Branson and Lindstrand from claiming the title.

Fisk wasn't fooled. He knew the White Sox were trying
to phase him out to make room for young Joel Skinner, who
was considered a better catcher defensively because of
Fisk's ing years.

But Skinner failed to live up to expectations and was
traded to the New York Yankees in midseason. The White
Sox acquired another catcher in the deal, Ron Hassey, and
had still another great defensive prospect in the minor
leagues in Ron Karkovice.

By then LaRussa was gone and replaced by Jim Fregosi
and when the 1986 season ended, Harrelson left and was
replaced by Larry Himes.

Baseballs being used in the

essentially the same as those

to the results of a test re.

The newspaper arranged

that,” agreed Nigel Tasker, secretary of the Intérnational
Ballooning Committee of the Paris-based International
Aeronautics Federation, which decides aviation records.

HAS RULES

But Tasker said the federation has no record for
crossing the Atlantic, only a world distance record that has
two specific rules: no one may leave the craft until final
landing and the balloon must remain under control until final
landing.

The 21-storey-high Virgin Atlantic Flyer made an
out-of-control touchdown into the North Channel, between
Ireland and Scotland, some 1.5 kilometres off Scotland on
Friday.

Both men jumped from the gondola before the crash.
The Swedith-born Lindstrand, now a British citizen, spent
2% hours in the water before being rescued. Brfanson, a
36-year-old British millionaire businessman who financed the
project, was plucked from the water by a military helicopter
soon after he jumped. Both suffered shock but were not
seriously hurt.

Spokesmen for Branson said the balloon flew some 4,490
kilometres to a brief last touchdown in Ireland before
crashing into the sea, with an average speed of 141
kilometres an hour. They said the flight from Maine took 31
hours and 38 minutes.

Lndstrand, 38, said he still didn't know why a button
that should have released the balloon from the capsule failed
to work, making it impossible to land properly.
