The league has expanded to seven teams — one more than last year. There are two new teams in the league this year. Valley Combines jumped from the now defunct Trail Gro League. It's the Combines’ third move in the last four years. They moved to the Gro League following the demise of the Nelson Men's Fastball League. Meanwhile, Salmo has also joined the local fastball circuit. Last year’s doormat of the league, the Roosters, dropped out this year. This season promises to see one of the tightest races in years with last year’s league and playoff champion Hi Arrow Arms expected to get a run for the title from the new boys from the valley. As well, Carling O'Keefe has some new faces in its lineup and should be there at the end of the season. Perennial powerhouse Labatts is strong this year and will again rely heavily on the pitching of Pete Evdokimoff. Sandman Inn and Thrums are also expected to put up a good showing this year. And while Salmo is a bit of an unknown, in its debut this week the club lost both its games by a total of only three runs. The Combines were the quickest off the mark with two wins and hold down first place after just one week of action. Labatts, O'Keefe, Thrums, Hi Arrow and Sandman Inn are all bunched in second spot with one win and one loss. Salmo hasn't cracked the win column in two outings. Valley Combines opened with an 84 win over Hi Arrow Arms. D. Chernenkoff picked up the win, teaming with Eli Soukeroff to hold Hi Arrow to five hits. George Plotnikoff was tagged with the loss, allowing five hits as well — two of those to Clay Liber. One of Liber's hits was a three-run homer in the fourth inning putting the Combines on top 6-2. The Combines made it two in a row with a 7-1 t ing of Inn. grabbed the win, holding the hotel team to five hits. Mike Nevakshonoff picked two of those hits. Grant Sookro took the loss, allowing 13 hits, including three to Terry Taranoff and two apiece to Soukeroff and Jim Nazaroff. Hi Arrow dumped Thrums 3-1 with Lawrence Halisheff on the mound for the hotel club. He combined with Plotnikoff to hold Thrums to just three hits. Ron Drazdoff took the loss. He and Joe Tarasoff teamed for a six-hitter. Lee Belander got two of those hits for Hi Arrow. Earlier in the week, despite being outhit 8-4, Thrums got past Carling O’Keefe 6-3. Tarasoff was on the mound for Thrums, scattering the eight hits. Bob Hutchinson and Mike Schmitt each knocked out a pair of hits for the brewery boys. Hutchinson took the loss. Tom Moran had the big day at the plate for Thrums, getting two hits. Fastball league opens season O'Keefe took out its revenge on Labatts, pummelling the brewery rivals 16-2. Mike Byrne suffered the loss, giving up 12 hits. O’Keefe’s Frank Loukianoff went three for three, while Hutchinson, Schmitt and Roger Essery had two hits each. Essery picked up the win, allowing just three hits. Labatts then won its first game of the year by a 3-1 score over Salmo. Pete Evdokimoff was on the mound for the win, surrendering six hits. Al Potapoff took the loss, and gave up seven hits — three of those to Don Savinkoff. Salmo also dropped a 4-3 decision to Sandman Inn with Potapoff again tagged with the loss. He gave up eight hits in this outing, including two apiece to Mike Navakshonoff and Steve Kanigan. Sandman Inn used three pitchers starting with Jerry ikoff and then to Thrums led 2-1 after the first inning, added two more in the second inning and carried a 5-1 lead into the sixth inning. to Wayne Abi Grant Sookro. The trio gave up six hits — two apiece to Al Waterstreet and Greg Raie.

They were scrambly and disorganized, in sharp contrast to the Edmonton offence that functioned smoothly most of the night. COSTLY LOSS The Hawks began the game without defenceman Doug Wilson, still recovering from a groin injury, and lost another The second game of the b f- Conference final will be played here Tuesday. Huddy, who had 10 assists going into the game, also picked up another assist, as did Kurri who scored his seventh and eighth goal Glenn Anderson, with two, Paul Coffey, Mark Napier, Wayne Gretzky, Pat Hughes and Willy Lindstrom also scored for the defending champion Oilers. Ken Yaremchuk and Troy Murray scored Chicago's goals. The win was Edmonton's 10th straight playoff victory, tying the NHL record. Their 11 goals tied the playoff record for most goals in a game, set March 30, 1944, by Montreal Canadiens in an 11-0 win over Toronto. The Oilers jumped into a 2-0 lead in the first 11 minutes, increased it to 4-1 in the first period and 7-1 in the second. Chicago has said before the series they couldn't afford to get into a shoot-out against Edmonton and they proved it Saturday. Chicago's offence, which sparkled against Detroit and Minnesota, lacked finesse and firepower Saturday. Campbell Keith Brown, midway through the first period with a hip pointer. By the time Brown departed it already appeared Chicago's game plan was to try to beat the Oilers at their own game, offence. Unfortunately for Chicago, it backfired. Anderson, with a wrist shot to the stick side of goaltender Murray Bannerman at 5:48, and Huddy with a long slapshot at 10:09 put Edmonton up 2. Bannerman had little chance on Huddy's shot because® he was spun partly around when the handle of his stick was hooked by players cutting through the crease. The Hawks had a lot of good initial chances but had problems getting a clean shot at goaltender Grant Fuhr. When they did they seldom got the rebound. Yaremchuk scored on a breakaway after Darryl Sutter hit him with a pass just as Yaremchuk was splitting the defence near the Edmonton blueline. The Oilers, showing little effect of their nine-day layoff, were having a field day on offence. Their constant speed had the Chicago defence scrambling throughout the game. Reds outscore Mets NATIONAL LEAUGE CINCINNATI (AP) — Nick Esasky hit his third career grand-slam homer in a 10-run sixth inning, and Jay Tibbs pitched a four-hitter for his first career complete game as Cincinnati Reds outmuscled New York Mets 14-2 in National League baseball action Saturday The Reds sent 15 batters to the plate in the inning, getting seven hits and five walks off four Mets pitchers and handing right-hander Roger McDowell, 2-1, his first defeat of the season DODGERS 6 PIRATES 5 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pedro Guerrero tripled in Ken Landreaux with the winning run after drilling a tying home run as Los Angeles Dodgers, behind Fernando Valenzuela, rallied to beat Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 in 10 innings. Landreaux singled to greet reliever John Candelaria, 1-3, in the 10th before Guerrero just missed his second homer of the game, lining a shot off the right-field wall. Guerrero failed to score when a Dodgers! suicide squeeze misfired on a pitch-out, and Guerrero was tagged out at home by catcher Tony Pena. Valenzuela, 3-3, wasn’t as sharp as he was in his first five starts, when he allowed only one earned run in 42 innings, but he blanked the Pirates over the final five innings, striking out seven and walking three while allowing 10 hits.

FLYERS Wales series opens QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec Nordiques, who haven't played well at home since the first two games of the Na. tional Hockey League play offs, and Philadelphia Flyers, home-ice edge in this series because their division — the Adams — had a better record in head-to-head competition with the Patrick, where the Flyers reside. rookie goaltender Mario Gos- selin caught a puck in the throat in their last game. “It's unfortunate that things have happened to Goulet and Hunter, and some “I missed some of the broadcast because we were busy, but I caught enough to know that things were going well for Canada,” said Mar- tin, the goaltender who help- ed Canada win the world players.” flashes back on the glory days of 1961 when the Smokies played 22 exhibition games in Europe before the world championship in Swit- zerland.

They bump into each other a couple of times a week and vividly recall the memories of yesteryear. “Tm really proud of those tent, but the Trail team was led by a demanding coach in peppery Bobby Kromm. “Quite honestly, we tried to intimidate the European teams in those days with our physical play,” said Martin. “In fact, we were downright cruel at times. “We had to establish our. selves, to prove something right from the start. We inti- midated the Swedes, for sure, and some of the others, too.

The Nordiques are coming off a stirring seven-game vic tory in overtime at Montreal, their third triumph at the Forum in the Adams Division final. At home, the Nordiques lost twice to the Canadiens and beat them once in over time. They also had to go to the final minutes to rally and eliminate Buffalo Sabres in game five of the opening round of the playoffs. “Maybe we press too hard, try too hard to please our fans,” said right winger Wilf Paiement. “We seem to relax more and play better on the The Nordiques hold the That might seem a bit un- fair since Philadelphia collec- ted 113 points — the most in the NHL this season — and Quebec only 91. But the way things have gone at home for the Nordi. ques, and the way the Flyers have performed in winning seven of eight post-season games, the site of the games in this series might not be too relevant. WRESTLE WITH INJURIES More likely to have impact is the injury situation. The Nordiques defeated Montreal despite having Dale Hunter {infected hand) available for only a copule of first-period shifts in the last game. Allstar left winger Michel Goulet has been hampered by a sore back and buttocks, and of the other guys are sore,” said veteran Defenceman Pat Price. “But the two days off since beating Montreal (Thursday night) have to be enough.” The Flyers have been off for a week. They eliminated New York Islanders in five games to move into the NHL’s final four. “Quebec is a little quicker (than the Islanders), I guess,” said Philadelphia goalie Pelle Lindbergh, who has been superb throughout the playoffs after leading the league with 40 victories this season. As the Flyers went 1-1-1 against Quebec this season, Lindbergh earned the victory and the tie. The Nordiques won the only game the teams played here, with Gosselin in goal in his only appearance against Philadelphia. “It will be a tough series. They (the Nordiques) won three games in Montreal and that's hard to do,” added Linbergh “We have a long road ahead of us,” said Flyers rookie centre Peter Zezel. “We're not that familiar with the Nrdiques, but they don’t know us that well, either.” Philadelphia also has some injury problems, most notab- ly versatile centre Dave Poulin, the team captain, who has an injured knee and did not play against the Island. ers. This is Quebec's second trip to the conference final — the Nordiques were swept by the Islanders in 1982. The Flyers have advanced be. yond the quarter-finals for the first time since 1980, when they lost to the Island ers in the Stanley Cup final.
