Orioles get
back at

TORONTO (CP) — On Monday
night, Baltimore manager~ Frank
Robinson held a closed-door meeting
with his players following a mis
take-filled loss to the-Toronto Blue
Jays.

“Maybe we were just much more
alert tonight, but a well-pitched
game doesn't hurt, either,” Robinson
said Tuesday night after a come-
from-behind 4-2 American League
baseball triumph over the Blue Jays.
“We aren't going to perform like that
every day.

“But, yesterday (Monday), we
“Gidn’t even play the fundamentals.”

Oswaldo Peraza collected his first
major-league victory with a big assist
to Cal Ripken, who drove in both
Baltimore runs Monday and another
three runs Tuesday.

“I played with all those guys,” said
Peraza, 25, of the Blue Jays after he
came to the Orioles last year when
Toronto traded for Mike Flanagan. “I
just felt good with a wi

, 1-2, scattered eight hits
over 7 1-3 innings, striking out seven
and walking three. He left in favor of
Tom Niedenfuer after Ernie Whitt
had pulled two deep fouls. Nieden.
fuer struck out Whitt and coasted to
his seventh save.

Whitt “was sitting on his out pitch,
the forkball,” explained Robinson,
who added that Peraza “threw a real
battling game.

Jays

“Both pitchers did. I don't know
who was going to outlast who.”

For seven innings, it appeared
Flanagan, now 6-5, was going to be
successful in reaching his 150th car-
eer victory.

The veteran left-hander was
touched for just three hits through
seven innings before running into
trouble in the eighth.

A single by Billy Ripken with two
out in the eighth put runners at first
and second and brought on reliever
Jose Nunez. Cal. Ripken then took
Nunez’s second offering to the fence
in right centre as right fielder Jesse
Barfield just missed making the
catch on a leaping effort.

“He (Flanagan) is very frustrating
with his change of speed — you feel
you get some good cuts then you
come back to the dugout with
nothing to show for it,” said Cal
Ripken, whose RBI double in the fifth
tied the game 1-1.

The triple gave Baltimore a 3-2
lead and Ken Gerhart added his
fourth homer of the season in the
ninth off David Wells.

“Ripken's always been a tough out
for us,” said Toronto manager Jimy
Williams.

Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the
second on Fred McGriffs 15th
homer of the season, a monstrous
rainbow shot over centre field — es.
timated at 437 feet.

Childrens’ Slo
pitch ends season

The Slocan Valley Children's Slow
Pitch League finished off the 1988
season with a tournament at South
Slocan earlier this month.

It was a full day of playing ball for
the 175 young athletes. The league
and tournament are sponsored by
Regional Recreation Commission No.
8, with Zena Ursuliak and Nonie
Burk as organizers.

Slocan players were the winners in
the Grade 5 and 6 category, coached
by Kathy Pryor. They won all three
games during the tournament.

Brent Kennedy, coached by Robert
Gordon, picked up the Grade 3 and 4
championship.

In the kindergarten-Grade 2 cate-
gory, Brent Kennedy II came out on
top. Walter Voykin was the proud
coach of that team with Bill Bontje as
helper.

The Essery Family trophy for the
‘most sportsmanlike team was pre
sented to Winlow Grade 5 and 6 ably
coached by Joanne Ellis.

The concession stand was run by
the Appledale Daycare Society.

The volunteer coaches and parents
who dedicated their time to the
young people of the Slocan Valley
were: from Slocan, Linda Hicks,
Margaret Hicks, Leslie Campos,
Koteah Vacen and Kathy Pryor;
from Winlaw, Don Warthe, Lauri
Kaufman, Rodney Lindstrom and
Joanne Ellis; and from Brent Ken-
nedy area, Dom Droucker, Walter
Voykin, Bill Bontje, Robert Gordon,
Harry Sapriken, Lorraine Podov.
elnikoff and Allen Ball.

A special thanks went to the
umpires who helped make this day a
great success: Richard Mayo, Ed
Hicks, Glen Harper, Mike Malakow
and Robert Gordon.

Also thanks went to the Slocan
Valley Minor Fastpitch League, ages
13 and 14, coached by Tim Soukeroff
and Mike Hennelly for their exhi-
bition game.

NOTES AND QUOTES

Lions training camp

VANCOUVER (CP) — Notes and quotes from
the B.C. Lions training camp Tuesday:

General manager Joe Galat started contract
negotiations with Michael Barnett, agent for new
quarterback Matt Dunigan. Barnett and Galat met
before Dunigan left for the Canadian Football
League all-star game in Edmonton.

Dunigan is in the option year of his CFL contract
— he was acquired last week from the Edmonton
Eskimos — and reportedly earned $120,000 last
season.

Assistant coaches Adam Rita and Larry
Smeltzer, who work with the offence, got into the
spirit of training camp with new haircuts. Smeltzer
shaved almost all his hair off, except for a string at
the back of his neck, while Rita got his hair cut short,
complete with racing stripes.

Head coach Larry Donovan insisted he would
not follow suit, but noted he liked the enthusiasm of
the coaches in their effort to relate to the players.
Rita is the backfield coach and Smeltzer handles the
offensive line.

Running back Anthony Parker was a late
addition to the CFL all-star game, set for Thursday,
apparently a replacement for Gary Allen of the
Calgary Stampeders.

The Lions were missing 11 of 24 starters during
the morning workout because of injuries and six
players at the all-star game. Linebacker Bernie
Glier, troubled with injuries in the past, sprained an
ankle, while wide receiver Byron Williams had a
pulled hamstring muscle.

Leaving camp on their own were defensive
lineman Scott Redl and slotback Dan Reading, both
Canadians. Red! was acquired from the Saskatche-
wan Roughriders in the Rick Klassen trade. After
four days in camp, he decided to accept a business
offer in Regina.

Reading is a junior from the Richmond Raiders
who may rejoin the team following the exhibition
season.

Outside linebacker Mark Smith, a 210-pound
junior from Richmond, has made an impression on
the coaching staff with his pass covereage.

Donovan said the Lions were in the market for
another import wide receiver and Galat may try to
make a trade.

New wide receivers in camp since training
began include Eric Streeter from North Carolina and
Mike Scott from the University of Pacific. Streeter
was a draft choice of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of
the National Football League in 1987.

Offensive guard Dan Hurley, a starter most of
the 1987 season, is being pressed for his job after a
slow start, Donovan said. Hurley and John
Aimonetti are the only import offensive linemen in
camp.

The first official cuts of the camp come Friday
when six regulars return from the all-star game.
Training camp rosters are limited to 66, plus juniors.

Donovan was pleased with the progress of
rookie quarterback Rickey Foggie from Minnesota,
slated to be the backup to Dunigan, and also noted
the improvement of rookie pivot Willie Gillus from
Norfolk State.

The head coach will handle the special teams
assignments this year after a reduction in the
coaching staff. Gone from last year are assistants
Rocky Long and Greg Newhouse, replaced by
Smeltzer and Bob Vespaziani.

When the laconic Donovan was promoted to
head coach late last season after the firing of Don
Matthews, another assistant was not added.

Donovan said camp standouts include two
rookies, import defensive back Anthony Drawhorn
of Nevada-Las Vegas and Canadian defensive tackle
Mary Turner of Miami of Ohio, plus import defensive
back Darryl Hemphill, who intercepted two passes in
his only start last year.

Drawhorn is competing against veteran corner-
backs Keith Gooch and Andre Francis. Turner is
trying to replace Klassen, while Hemphill is making
a bid to take over from the retired Mel Byrd.

a minute left in regulation sent the

» Spinks
collects
big

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. (AP) —
Michael Spinks decided it was time to
get out of the light heavyweight
division when his friends began feel-
ing sorry for him because he wasn't
making enough money or getting
enough notice.

Now they feel sorry for him be-
cause he has to fight Mike Tyson.

“They'll pray for me and my health
now,” said Spinks, who fights Tyson
on Monday for the heavyweight
championship.

Not that the undefeated challenger
is that worried himself.

“He has what he has,” Spinks says
of Tyson. “He's just as good as any-
one else and he makes the same mis-
takes as anyone else.

“He's been brought up right in his
career and these are the results.”

Spinks, who dominated the light
heavyweight ranks for four years,
owned the undisputed 175-pound
title before giving it up to fight Larry
Holmes for the heavyweight crown in
September 1985.

He beat Holmes — not once but
twice — to establish himself as a
presence in a division that histori-
cally has produced lucrative paydays.

And now, at age 31, Spinks stands
to cash in on one of the biggest
paydays ever — $13.5 million to fight
one of the most devastating punchers
in recent boxing history.

Since becoming the first light
heavyweight champion to win the
heavyweight title, Spinks has won
three other heavyweight fights —
two by knock out — and set himself
up for the fight against Tyson, which
could be boxing’s richest ever.

In Tyson, he faces a fighter 10
years younger whose ferocious style
has earned him 30 knockouts in 34
fights, many coming in the early
rounds,

“I think a lot of people who love me
and pray for my well-being have
some compassion for me in this
fight,”"Spinks says.

Spinks, though, is no slouch him-
self.

In 81 fights since beginning his
professional career in 1977, he has
not lost, and in the process has
scored 21 knockouts.

Basketball
record
broken

VANCOUVER (CP) — Andre
Patterson set a World Basketball
League record for most points in a
single game Tuesday night when he
scored 48 to lead the Vancouver
Nighthawks to a 135-127 decision
over the Fresno Flames.

Patterson eclipsed the old mark of
43 points set by the Flames’ Kenny
Nett who led Fresno Tuesday with 26
points before 1,326 fans.

The other leading scorers for Van-
couver were Jose Slaughter with 20
and Willis Smith with 16.

Clinton Wheeler added 18 points
for Fresno while Jack Moore had 14.

The Dutch will play the winner of

today’s game between Italy and the
Soviet Union for the championship.

Following an action-packed but 0-0
first half, West German captain
Lothar Mattaeus put his team ahead
from the penalty spot in the 54th
minute.

Duteh defender Frank Rijkaard
tripped Juergen Klinsmann just
inside the area and although Hans
Van Breukelen got his fingertips to
the shot, he could not stop it.

The Dutch tied the score in the
74th minute when Juergen Kohler
was called for bringing down Van
Basten and Ronald Koeman sent
West German goalkeeper Eike Im-
mel the wrong way from the spot
kick.

The semifinal seemed to be head
ing for overtime when Van Basten,
who scored three times against Eng.
land, won the match.

Jan Wouters threaded a pass
through the German defence and Van
Basten, who had missed a much
easier chance near the end of the first
half, rifled a low shot past Immel.

The result was the first Dutch vic-
tory over the West Germans since
1966.
