Curling Club’s windup Costiows Proto by Doug Harvey 4-3 VICTORY Expos win home opener By The Canadian Press In baseball, when the bases are loaded, a walk is as good as a hit. And Mitch Webster's Ik Tuesday was as good as a grand slam for Montrel Expos. Webster watched a 3-2 pitch from Lee Smith sail past the outside corner of the plate in the bottom of the lith inning with the bases loaded to force in the winning run as the Expos captured their National League home opener with a 4-3 victory over Chicago Cubs. “Their infield was in and their outfield was in, so I was looking to hit the ball hard and put it in play,” Webster said. “If I would have got something I was looking for I would have hacked at it, but the pitches weren't close.” It was something Chicago manage Jim Frey noticed. “Smith is supposed to be our-sevior, but he was really wild,” Frey said. “It's not something you expect from your bullpen.” Tim Wallach hit a three- run homer for Montreal in the seventh to erase a 30 Chicago lead and set up the extra innings. The Expos drew 30,105 fans, the smallest crowd to see a home opener at Olym pic Stadium In other NL games Tues. day, it was San Diego Padres 2 Los Angeles Dodgers 1 in 12 innings, Cincinnati Reds 5 Auanta Braves 3, and Hous. ton Astros 5 San Francisco even Rookie hits By The Canadian Press Rookie Danny Tartabull didn’t want to start the sea son in a slump. Don't worry, Danny, you haven't. The Seattle Mariners’ sec ond baseman hit a grand slam home run Tuesday night to climax an eight-run first inning in a 9-4 American League triumph over Califor nia Angeles. “T've never been known for getting off to great starts, but I've been concentrating more because of that,” said Tartabull. Tartabull’s slam marked the fourth straight game he has hit a home run. He is leading the major leagues with 14 runs batted in, is batting .353 and is tied with Dave Parker of the National League Cincinnati Reds for the major-league lead in homers.

Rangers win Patrick semifinal over Flyers By The Canadian Press The wi are chewing up some of the best material in the National Hockey League. New York Rangers visited Philadelphia and pulled off the biggest upset of the surprise-filled Stanley Cup playoffs Tuesday night by shocking the Flyers 5-2 and winning their Patrick Division semifinal three games to two. And St. Louis Blues, a team that played well under .500 on the road during the regular season, worked their way into the Norris Division final with a 6-3 triumph over Minnesota North Stars in Bloomington, Minn. All four division finals are set. On Thursday night, Hartford Whalers are at Montreal Canadiens to start the Adams Division final, while the Rangers visit Washington Capitals. The second games in both series are Saturday night. On Friday night, Toronto Maple Leafs visit St. Louis, while the Smythe Division final begins with Calgary Flames at Edmonton Oilers. The second games in those series are Sunday night. . The playoffs this season have been full of surprises — three of the four regular-season division champions now have been eliminated. Hartford Whalers finished fourth in the Adams, but easily swept vaunted Quebec Nordiques in three games. Toronto, experiencing a dismal season, skated into Chicago, got hot goaltending and swept the Blackhawks in three games. ‘OUSTS NO. 2 TEAM But neither ranks with the Rangers’ elimination of the Flyers — a team that finished with the league's second-best regular-season record, 32 points better than the Rangers, and boasted a 34-7-1 home record. “I can't believe it,” said Rangers goalie John Vanbries- brouck, who stopped 34 of 36 shots. “Who would have thought when the series started that we had a chance?” Not Keenan. On Monday, the Flyers coach shrugged off New York's series-opening win in Philadelphia as a freak oceurrence. “Our guys played ‘so well, it’s just an unbelievable feeling right now,” added Vanbriesbrouck. Goals by Willie Huber and Mark Osborne 71 seconds apart in the second period gave the Rangers their triumph. Pierre Larouche gave New York a 1-0 lead in the first period. Ilkka Sinisalo tied the game at 6:26 of the second period, but Huber broke the tie at 9:45 and Osborne gave the Rangers a 3-1 lead at 10:56. Brad McCrimmon brought the Flyers back within one at 11:36 of the third period, but when Keenan pulled goalie Bob Froese for an extra skater the Rangers hit the empty net twice — Kelly Miller at 19:20 and Don Maloney 23 seconds later. It was the first time since 1928 the Rangers had won a playoff series that had gone to the final game. Keenan, who on Monday claimed to have found the secret to beating gave the Rang: much of the credit. “We came up against a team that rode on the confidence of a goaltender in a short series,” he said. New York coach Ted Sator agreed. “Without him, there would have been no Game 5.” Rangers captain Ron Greschner was slashed during the second period, injuring his right hand. Team officials doubt he will be ready to play Thursday. Meanwhile, the Blues, just 14-23-83 on the road during the regular season, rode the play of Greg Paslawski and Doug Gilmour in ‘eliminating the North Stars. Gilmour set up the Blues’ first five goals and Paslwaski scored three times and assisted on two others. “Doug played an unbelievable game,” Paslawski said of his linemate. “It seems wherever I go, he gets the puck to me. Goals by Ron Wilson and Brian Bellows gave Minnesota a 2-0 lead by 4:40 of the opening period. But Gilmour set up Lee Norwood for the Blues’ first goal at 10(18 and Paslawski scored his first of the night at 13:38 to tie the game on play. : Paslawski scored 38 seconds into the second period to give St. Louis the lead and 360 into the third period Gilmour set up Eddy Beers on a 2-on-1 break for a 4-2 St. Louis lead. Wilson cut the Blues’ lead to one on a power play at 15:13, but Gilmour found Paslawski alone in the slot and St. Louis took a 5-3 lead at 16:38. Bernie Federko added an empty-net goal with 10 seconds remaining. “Gilmour played the greatest series I've seen in a long time in the NHL — bar none,” said St. Louis coach Jacques Demers. “They both played great hockey,” said Lorne Henning, whose first season at the Stars’ helm ends in disappoint- ment. “They are great hockey players, especially Gilmour.” Ste.-Foy records win MONCTON, N.B.
