Calderbonk NATIONAL LEAGUE Mets down Astros 5-1 By The Canadian Press It was a classic baseball matchup Tuesday night in the National League. One first-place team taking on another; one unbeaten pitch er against another. The incentive was there for Dwight Gooden of New York Mets and Bob Knepper of Houston Astros, and neither disappointed the more than 41,000 spectators at New York. Gooden flirted with a no- hitter through four innings before settling for a two-hit ter in running his record this season to 5-0 as the East leading Mets downed the West-leading Astros 51 “I knew it was going to be a tough day going against Knepper,” Gooden said. “But I was throwing great, getting the curveball over, and I had a little extra on my fastball.” Knepper, now 5-1, gave up five hits in 61-3 innings, including George Foster's first homer of the season, a solo shot in the fifth inning, and Gooden's two-run triple in the Mets’ three run- seventh. “What hurts was getting behind (3-2) to Gooden and then he hits the triple,” said Knepper. “I laid it in for him. What made it so distasteful was that it was the pitcher that beat us.” It was Gooden'’s second shutout of the season and his fourth complete game. He lowered his earned-run aver- age to 1.06. Elsewhere it was Montreal Expos 8 Philadelphia Phillies 0, Chicago Cubs 7 Los An- geles Dodgers 6. Cincinnati Reds 2 Atlanta Braves 0, San Franciseo Giants 7 Pitts- burgh Pirates 2, and San Diego Padres 3 St. Louis Cardinals 2. EXPOS 8 PHILLIES 0 Andre Dawson homered, doubled, drove in two runs and scored two for the Expos as Montreal handed Steve Carlton his fifth loss in six decisions. Carlton, 41, who LaRussa’s job with White Sox may be over By The Canadian Press While Joe Altobelli was joking he is through as man ager of New York Yankees, Tony LaRussa was wonder ing if Tuesday night was his last game as Chicago White Sox manager. Chicago general manager Ken Harrelson met briefly with LaRussa after the White Sox lost another game Tuesday night, 106 to the Yankees, saying later he had with the White Sox about managing the team. But Harrelson later said he met with Martin. “I'm retiring from man aging; this is my last game,” said Altobelli after subbing the last two nights for sus pended Yankees manager Lou Piniella, penalized for bumping an umpire Ricky Henderson hit a three-run homer and stole three bases for New York, no on La Russa’s fate But White Sox co-owner Jerry Reinsdorf has said La Russa, whose team has the American League's worst record this season at 7.17, may have only a game or two left to save his job. Earlier Tuesday, former major-league manager Billy Martin said he hadn't talked g his league lead to 22; Don Mattingly went 4 for-5 at the plate and Dave Winfield drove in three runs with a single and two sac rifice flies. In other games it was Oakland A's 17 Toronto Blue Jays 3, Cleveland Indians 6 Kansas City Royals 1 in 4‘ innings, California Angels 6 Boston Red Sox 2, Milwaukee Kanigan second in tournament Castlegar's Jeff DeRosa of the Rossland-Trail Golf Club was the low gross winner at the Christina Lake Junior Open held Saturday DeRosa won with a score of 75. He also won the 16 and over age category besides being the overall winner Lorne Kanigan of Castle gar was second with a low gross of 76 in the first flight. He was also the 1415-year old winner. Ka in was also closest to the pin. Rick DeBalinhard of Nel son was third with a score of 79 in the first flight. Other Castlegar results saw Don Grieves with a seore of 81, and Roger Carlson with 87. Carlson was the 13 and under category winner. Scott Boleenowsky had 82, Kevin Biln had 90 and Mark Cliffton had 89. Castlegar golfers Lorne Kanigan, Don Grieves, Scott Boleenowsky and Roger Carl son made up the first place team in the golf tournament with a total of 326 points. Nelson was second with 352, Trail-Rossland was third with 354 and Christina Lake was fourth with 370.

Andy McGaffigan's first major-league shutout led Montreal to its fourth straight victory. REDS 2 BRAVES 0 Cincinnati ended an 11 game home losing streak, its worst of the century. Bill Gullickson threw seven shut out innings, and Dave Parker hit his sixth homer to help the Reds end a nine-game overall losing streak. GIANTS 7 PIRATES 2 San Francisco won its third straight and improved to 16-11 — its best start since a 19-8 in showing 1973. Chris Brown and Candy Maldonado each hit a two-run homer for the Giants, who got seven-hit pitching from Mike Krukow, 4-2. PADRES 3 CARDINALS 2 Pineh-hitter Jerry Roys ter's two-out double in the ninth inning drove in the winning run as San Diego handed St. Louis its 13th loss in its last 15 games. Jack Clark homered for St. Louis and Tony Gwynn for San Diego. CUBS 7 DODGERS 6 Leon Durham hit the sev enth home run of the game (his 100th career) in the ninth inning to beat Los Angeles. Shawon Dunston, Gary Mat thews and Keith Moreland also homered for Chicago. Bears tie Drug Mart 5-5 By CasNews Staff A&W Bears played Shop pers Drug Mart in a West Kootenay Senior Babe Ruth baseball game in Trail Tues- day night and the game ended in a 5-5 tie after the game was called because of darkness. The game went into an extra inning and in the eighth, the Bears were ahead by two runs and had the bases loaded when the game was called. When a game is called, the score reverts back to the previous inning. Pitching for the Bears were Craig Ruff, Mickey Muller and Rod Gritchen. Bears manager Bruce Mc- Kenzie said Gritehen played a strong game with two sac rifice hits. The combined Castlegar- Nelson team is in third place im league standings with two wins, two losses and one tie. East Trail leads with a 50 record, Shoppers Drug: Mart is second at 3-2-1 while Salmo is fourth at 1-3 and Fruitvale is last with an 0-4 record. The Bears play a double header at Nelson's Lakeside Park on Sunday. The team takes on Shoppers Drug Mart at 2 p.m. and plays Fruitvale at 5 p.m Meanwhile last Sunday the Bears were victorious, de feating Fruitvale 101 and 93. The Bears beat Fruitvale 10-1 in Kinnaird park in the morning game on “excellent pitehing” by Gritchen, said McKenzie. Gritchen threw a one-hitter in combination with excellent defensive team work and good hitting by Mickey Muller with his three hits. In the afternoon game at Fruitvale, the Bears won 9-3 due to some “hot pitching” by Muller, McKenzie said Adrian Streloff got two hits and Graham McKenzie had one. Flames take 2-1 lead in conference final Tuesday night in a 53 win over St. Louis Blues, have scored the first goal of the game in 11 of 13 National Hockey League playoff mes. That has enabled them to sweep Winnipeg Jets in three games, upset defending champion Edmonton Oilers in seven games and take a 2-1 lead over St. Louis in the best-of-seven Campbell Con- ference final. “I don't put a lot of em- goal proved to be a huge one for the Flames. “You just play with the circumstances dealt with. We got the early power-play chance and it turned out to be a big goal for us.” Mark Hunter of the Blues drew a high-sticking penalty eight seconds into the game and 12 seconds later Joe Mullen scored. Canadiens can take final tonight NEW YORK (CP) — Claude Lemieux only has to think of his brother to realize how fortunate he is. Lemieux’s brother, Serge, has been paralysed since early childhood and is in hospital. “The family limits its visits because the goodbyes are more trying than the hellos,” Lemieux said Tuesday. “He was always sick. He can't come home, he can't go places where there are lots of peeple.” Lemieux said his brother's plight gives him the inspir ation when the Canadiens need a big goal. So far in the NHL playoffs, that’s happened twice as the rookie right-winger has con- nected for two crucial over. time goals. His second one, at 9:41 of the overtime period Monday night, gave the Canadiens a 3-0 stranglehold on their Wales Conference final with New York Rangers. The Canadiens can advance to the Stanley Cup final with a win tonight at Madison Square Garden. If they lose, the best-of-seven series switches to Montreal for game five on Friday Lemieux, who will be 21 in July, has three game-winning goals in the playoffs. On his second game-winner, he mus cled his way out of the corner and backhanded a shot into the net in overtime in the seventh game of the Adams Division final with Hartford Whalers. “I said before the overtime (against Hartford) that I would score for my brother,” said Lemieux. “I felt the same way against New York.” Lemieux was the Canadi- ens’ second choice in the 1983 NHL entry draft. Much was expected of him at the Can- adiens training camp last September, but Lemieux dis- appointed his employer and was sent to the minors for more grooming. In the American Hockey League, Lemieux had an at- titude problem that changed when he realized his chances of making the Canadiens were diminishing. An injury to Ryan Walter led to Lemieux’s promotion to the Canadiens in late March and he's made the most of it. “There is a saying — ‘One day you're a hero, one day, you're a zero.’ I'll always re- member that. If I don't play well against the Rangers, everybody's going to forget about me.” Meanwhile, several New York radio stations dedicated the rock song when the Going Gets Tough. (The Tough Get Going) to their Broadway Blue Shirts. And the Rangers realize they're on the brink of elim- ination “We are not thinking about the fifth, sixth or seventh games,” said defenceman James Patrick. “We're just thinking about the fourth game.” If the Rangers want to play hockey, not golf, this week, they will have to do what only the 1941-42 Toronto Maple Leafs and 1974-75 New York Islanders have accom plished in NHL playoff his tory — a rally from a 0-3 deficit KISBL opens The Kootenay Internation al Senior Baseball League opens its 10th season this weekend with the annual KISBL Tournament, hosted by Grand Forks. The harsh economic cli mate has played a major role in reducing the league size to four teams this year, the lowest in league history, says the KISBL. However, des pite the loss of Beaver Valley to a year’s “leave of absence” and Enderby and Kelowna to the revived Thompson Okanagan circuit, the KISBL promises to showcase a most competitive season of base ball excitement. up in the batting derby The Orioles pitching is sotid and is anchored by the left-right combination of Tom Nedelec and Rick Finlay. The addition of Bob Davidson from the free agent pool is also a plus. The erystal ball tags the Orioles as the team to beat in 1986, says the KISBL. REPUBLIC-CURLEW BEARS Doug Grumbach takes the reins of a team which is loaded with an array of out standing young talent. Grum. bach’s average, .441 last year, might be difficult to repeat with the added res ity of team pilot The foll g is a capsule scouting report on each of the four teams rostering the KISBL this year: ‘ TRAIL ORIOLES Don Szilagyi’s potent line- up is strongly flavored with experience and sock. 1985 All Stars, Gerald Hollett and Lou Ciecetti lead a hit parade of offensive talent which also includes John Mota, Kevin Oliver and Billy Maniago. The addition of Brian Pari sotto from the dispersal draft should also fill the void left by “the departure of Mike Mukanik, last year's runner. However, perennial league All-Star and Gold Glove win ner, Gopher Somday, will again be counted on to spark the offensive attack. Much help should be provided by the sizzling wands belonging to Ron Grumbach, Dan Gra- ham, Shaun Orestad and Terry Boxleitner. Eddie Forsman, Dave Konz and Curt Fuller head a pitching staff which was thinned considerably with the loss of Bruce Stapleton (Spokane) and John Gianu kakis (Philadelphia Phillies). “We talked about not tak- up 2-1 and they never sur- rendered the lead. “We had them down 1.0, OK because we don't know Road how to quit either.” _Bernie Federko scored for — St. Louis in the first period.

The Flames, seeking their first berth in a Stanley Cup final, then turned aside all the Blues’ scoring thrusts until Colin Patterson settled the outcome with an empty- net goal at 19:01. race set for Sunday The Silver City SK-10K Road Race, part of Trail's Silver City Days celebra- tions, will be run on Sunday. The starting gun will be fired at 9:30 a.m. at Gyro Park. Organizers are the Noon- ers’ Jogging Club with spon- sorship by Seth Martin Sports and Nike. Pre-registration can be done at Seth Martin Sports, Trail and Champion Sports, Trail There will be prizes for first, second and third for male and female runners in each age category. The age categories are: Junior 10 and under, 11-13, 14-16 and Se nior 17-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50 and over. The course for the run this year is similar to that of pre vious years and both the five kilometre and 10-kilometre courses have been measured. The race organizers, the Nooners’ Jogging Club, have applied for course certifiea tion with the Canadian Road. racing Association. The run ning surfaces run the gamut of paved roads, lanes, grass and sidewalks. The overall course records were all set in the 1985 run- ning of this race, so there should be new gecords made this year. In the 10-kilometre men's category, Brent Gallie holds the record at 31 min- utes, 51 seconds and for the women the record is held by Cheryl McCargar, 40 min- utes, 40 seconds. The five- kilometre overall men's rec ord is held by Chris Fiute at 17 minutes, 42 seconds and the women’s record by Sara Lidstone with 20 minutes, four seconds. Both the five- kilometre and 10-kilometre events qualify for points in the Nooners’ 1986 Road Race Series. There is an annual high school team trophy competi. tion in the five-kilometre event which was won by Rossland Secondary in 1985. The record in this event is 108 minutes, 32 seconds, the total time of all five runners on the team. Teams must each have two girls and three boys. 10th season Bears should claw for the lead from start to finish. TRAIL CARDINALS Darrell St. Denis, coach of the year in 1985, led his team to an above .500 average last season for the first time in the Cards’ three-year his tory. The Cardinals have drafted wisely and have em ployed much patience with their draft picks. This season they should be justly reward ed as they possess perhaps the Trail areas most talented youngsters in Terry and Jason Altrogge, as well as Dan Demchuk. Complement these potential stars with veteran standouts Bruce Turnbull, Grant Fines, as well as dispersal draft addi tions Brian Reid (1985 bat ting champ) and Don Freschi, and the Cardinals should pose a serious challenge for the league title Rich Moffat had an out standing season on the hill for uve Cards in '85 and if lan Cameron and Gene Lafren iere can be lassooed and re turned to Trail, the Car dinals’ pitching staff can only be identified as awesome.

The Dus. ters offered some spark on offense last year as Dave Ludba (377), Greg Getz (.345) and David Sovkoreff (.306) all managed to spill over the 300 mark. How ever, the run production was anemic as the Dusters man ufactured only 75 runs in 18 games played.
