Senators on both sides of the house left the chamber in shifts to catch a few hours of sleep in what appeared to be preparations for round-the- clock debate that could drag on for days and even weeks. But Liberal senators made it clear they would keep the Conservatives on their toes. At 1:15 a.m., as Liberal deputy leader Royce Frith was reading the en- tire rule book — in English and Fren- ch — imto the record, Alberta Liberal Earl Hastings called quorum. Fifteen senators must be in the chamber — or adjoining rooms — at all times or the house must be adjour- ned. There were only 13 in the cham- ber at the time. But other Tories scampered in, the effort was lost and Frith resumed his droning chant. All day Tuesday and today, Liberal senators rose one after another to complain their privileges were violated by a ruling last week by Senate Speaker Guy Charbonneau. They are upset that Charbonneau held a vote last Thursday although Liberals were absent. That, they say, violated Senate rules and led to charges that Char- bonneau, appointed to the post by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1984, is being used by the gover- nment Murray insisted the Senate will not adjourn until the Liberals live up to an agreement struck Friday to end OTTAWA (CP) Canada of the atmosphere, says a draft report by the all-party Commons environment committee.

Better forest management and new tree plan- tations could also play an impor- tant role. ““There are millions of hectares of land in Canada that could be suitable for plantation forestry,”” says the report. “‘The committee upon replanting beyond current com- mercial harvesting rates The commitice is still working on detailed recommendations on how to cut emissions that cause a potentially dangerous warming of the Earth, commitree chairman David MacDonald said in an in- terview Tuesday The panei is issuing interim recommendations to prod Ottawa into taking a tougher position at international negotiations aimed at a global climate treaty.

Youngsters like Brad Jones, Rob Blake, Todd Elik, Dennis Smith, Rene Chapdelaine and Daniel Ber- thiaume are already making major contributions-to_a King team that’s trying to improve with more speed and muscle. Six different Kings scored goals Tuesday night when Los Angeles dominated Vancouver to win 6-2 and spoil the home debut of the Canucks. It was a complete reversal of form for both teams after Vancouver won 6-3 last Saturday in Los Angeles. “*We had to take it to them as soon as we could,” said King coach Tom Webster. ‘‘We weren't prepared to play at home and you can’t be like that for games in your division. “We had to establish a physical game and get ourselves involved. You can’t stay on the perimeter in this The Kings outclassed the Canucks for two periods in taking a 6-0 lead. In-the-process they drove Canuck netminder Kirk McLean from the game by scoring five times on 11 shots by 5:49 of the second period. Luc Robitaille, Jones, Bob Kudelski, Elik, Blake and Jay Miller scored for the Kings as they outshot the Canucks 30-20. “*We had a lot of players at training camp to see what the depth of our team was,”’ said Webster. ‘‘There’s about five (new) guys who really deserve a chance."” The forward lines are faster now and the defence has a new anchor in the mobile Blake, a hard shooter schooled at Bowling Green who played well in the playoffs last spring. Blake scored a power-play goal on a first-timed shot and Kudelski, a second-year player, fired a shorthan- ‘ded-marker. ® Berthiaume, acquired last_ month from the Minnesota North Stars, was a surprise starter in goal and respon- ded with a strong game. He wasn’t beaten until the third period by Igor Larionov and Trevor Linden. “I’m trying to fill in for a guy (Ber- nie Nicholls) who once scored 70 goals,’’ said Elik. **My job is to keep feeding the guys. “‘Luc (Robitaille) has three goals already. Things are going pretty good so far.” Wayne Gretzky is impressed by the mewcomers. The Great One was blanked by the Canucks the previous game and had just one assist in the rematch. “We're a younger club this year and we've added some speed,”’ said Gretzky. “‘But how do you figure this game after the turnaround from last game? Canuck coach Bob McCammon also has plenty of youngsters in his lineup. Inexperienced defencemen Adrien Plavsic -and Jim Agnew struggled, as did Finnish import Jyrki Lumme. VANCOUVER (CP) — Former NHL player Steve Tambellini has joined the front-office staff of the Vancouver Canucks as director of Public relations. The Canucks named Tambellini to the post Tuesday. He replaces Darcy Rota, who moves to the league office in New York as a pecial assistant to NHL president John Ziegler Tambellini, 32, played for five NHL teams after being the first- round draft pick of the New York Islanders in 1978 He finished his NHL career two years ago with the Canucks after Trail native snares front-office work playing for Canada in the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary. Tambellini played 10 NHL seasons and scored 150 goals in 553 league games, with a total of 310 points. The Trail native, whose father, Adolph, played for the Trail Smoke Eaters when they won the 1961 World championship, lives in the Vancouver suburb of Port Moody. The Canucks also announced the appointment of Steve Frost, 26, a graduate of Simon Fraser University, as director of hockey information.

The Castlegar Rebels added two more losses to.their stats last weekend after a good effort Friday at home against the Nelson Maple Leafs and a bit of a stinker Saturday in Beaver Valley against the Nite Hawks.

Shell singles went to Neil Archam- bault, Dave Rugg, Joe Bell, Ross Berkey and Bruno Tassone Kelly Keraiff scored two for Hi Arrow with single markers going to Steve Simonen and Sten Matell.

The Rebels outshot Nelson 32-22 Dean Scully started in goal against the Nite Hawks but was replaced by Healy in the first period. Scully retur- ned to the net in the third.

Joice said coach Ed Cooper will be stressing defence in this week’s prac- tices as the Rebels prepare.for another three-games in three days, at home Friday against Spokane and Saturday against Nelson followed by a return match Sunday against the Braves in Spokane. The three-game weekend is the second this season for the Rebels, who.

Muller and Stastny combined for five points and the Devils connected on their first three power plays en route to defeating the Minnesota Nor- th Stars 5-2 in one of three NHL games. Muller scored the opening goal and added two assists as New Jersey moved into first place in the Patrick Division, @n¢ point ahead of Pit- ims were 4-3 losers - Louis, while the Los Angeles Kings were 6-2 victors over the Van- couver Canucks in the only other game. The Devils’ power play was 15th in the league a year ago, and improving that part of the special-teams play was a priority for coach John Cunniff. “We spend a lot of time w on it, same as the penalty-killing,”” ‘Cunniff said:*We spend a lot of time drilling game situations and that has got to bea help."* Having Stastny and his playmaking savvy around doesn’t hurt, either. Stastny, who came to New Jersey from Quebec late last season, collec- ted assists on goals by Muller and John MacLean. “Just having Peter Stastny has to be the biggest difference,"’ said Cun- niff. ‘‘For starters, he wins the faceoffs, giving you the plays. He's been doing that throughout his car and he’s one of the best ever at it."" Muller and MacLean sent New Jer- sey into an early 2-0 advantage. Goals by Bobby Smith and Dave Gagner Pulled Minnesota even in the first Period, but Bruce Driver's power-play goal in the second sent the Devils back into the lead “They have a couple of power-play units that really throw the puck around,” said Gagner. ‘Usually the penalty-killing counts on a few mistakes by the power play in order to pounce on the loose pucks. “They weren't making too many mistakes." On the winning goal, MacLean took a pass from Muller and fed Driver at the blue line. His slapshot changed direction as it deflected off the stick of Minnesota's Gaetan Duchesne and beat goalie Jon Casey to the stick side. Brendan Shanahan and Dave Maley added insurance goals in the third, JES 4 PENGUINS 3 Geoff Courtnall tapped in a pass from Adam Oates for his second goal of the game with 5:18 to play, lifting St. Louis over Pittsburgh. Brett Hull .also had two goals and Oates had three assists for the Blues, who are 8- 1-1 against the Penguins over the last four seasons. The Blues won despite squandering a 2-0 lead for the second straight game. “*We sort of let one get away again- st the (Chicago) Blackhawks (during the weekend),’’ defenceman Jeff Brown said. ‘‘We needed this."” Joey Mullen, with a pair, and Bob Errey replied for the visitors. land gets brooms ready for series sweep OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Same Boston start, same Oakland finish. The A’s again won with ease, and are on the verge of another sweep af- ter a 41 victory Tuesday in the American League playoffs. If this all looks familiar, it is. For the third straight game, the Red Sox took an early lead and for the third straight game, it wasn’t enough. “They’re the best team in the world,’’ Boston manager Joe Morgan said. “I"ve been saying that for a few years.’ Willie Randolph, filling in for in- jured Walt Weiss, had a pair of RBI singles and Dave Henderson made the most of his first start with a sacrifice fly as the Athletics became the 18th team to take a 3-0 lead in a postseason series. Every other team won, in- cluding 13 by sweeps Oakland will try today to advance to the World Series for the third straight season when it sends Dave Stewart against Roger Clemens in a rematch of Game | starters. The New York Yankees of 1976-78 were the last to do it **We've played the best for a long time," Oakland manager Tony La Russa said. ‘‘In most of our games, our starting pitching has been great and our relievers have been excellent I think today was very typical.” Mike Moore, who struggled most of the season, shut down Boston on one run on four hits for six innings. Then it was time for Oakland’s bullpen, which has not allowed a run. Dennis Eckersley pitched the ninth for his second save of the series and his nine career playoff saves and 10 in the postseason are both records. The Red Sox have lost nine Straight, and their seventh consecutive playoff defeat set a record. Mike Boddicker pitched well in defeat as the Red Sox again wasted another strong effort by a starter Boddicker gave up just six singles, but three errors, three walks and two hit batters hurt him. In this game, Boston's bullpen didn’t get a chance to blow it The Red Sox were 56-21 when Scoring first in games during the regular season, but are 0-3 in the last week. Tom Brunansky’s sacrifice fly put Boston ahead in the second, but the Red Sox could not extend it; in stead, they extended their hitless streak with runners on base to 17 at- bats in the series. Henderson’s sacrifice fly and Ran dolph’s single “inthe fourth - put Oakland ahead and the Athletics, ad- ded two more in the sixth on an error by shortstop Luis Rivera and another by catcher Tony Pena, who had the bail jarred loose from his mitt by Terry Steinbach The Athletics still have not hit a home run — Boston’s Wade Boggs has the only one of the series.

The Cincinnati Reds are doing it for them The Pirates knew they'd have to find a way to beat the Reds’ great young arms Rob Dibble, Randy Myers, Norm Charlton, Jose Rijo — to make it to the World Series. Little did they know they'd also have to beat the arms of Eric Davis, Paul O'Neill and Billy Hatcher If the Reds don't strike them out, they throw them out The Reds’ S-3 victory in Game 4 Tuesday night gave Cincinnati a 3-1 edge in a series few expected one team to dominate so convincingly. Not only h ave the Pirates had little offen: ce, they've had no defence for the Reds’ defence. “Everybody's talked about the Pirates outfield, O'Neill said ““Well, we're showing the world the Reds’ outfield can play, too."* The Reds have out-homered the Pirates 4-3, have outhit them .265- -225 and have a 2.5 earned-run average to Pittsburgh's 4.11. The Reds’ bullpen has allowed only two earned runs in 122.3 innings and has limited the Pirates’ dangerous 3-4-5 hitters — Andy Van Slyke, Bobby Bonilla and Barry Bonds — to a .222 average and three RBIs The Killer Bs have become the Killer ZZZZZs. Bonds and Bonilla, who had 65 homers and 234 RBIs during the season, have zero homers and two RBIs: Bonds. the NL’s likely Most Valuable Player, has no homers and no RBIs. And, in several ineffective at-bats against the Reds’ Nasty Boys bullpen, no chance “T know we're going to wake up eventually,"" Bonds said. ‘‘But we may find ourselves waking up to play golf.** If they don’t wake up tonight, the Pirates’ tee-off times begin Thursday morning. Their backs are so. far against the wall, Van Slyke said, ‘*it’s a good thing the paint’s dry or we might stick."” What has kept the Pirates at arm's length has been a Reds’ outfield “that’s thrown out more runners in this series than you usually see in a whole month,"’ ‘losing pitcher Bob Walk said Paul O'Neill threw out Van Slyke at third in the turning point of the Reds’ 2-1 victory in Game 2. Every time the Pirates got something going in Game 4. the Reds threw it back in their faces « “We've been ing some un believable things,” cher said The Reds took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on O'Neill's solo homer and Chris Sabo’s sacrifice fly. Van Slyke singled, stole second and scored on Sid Bream’s double in the bottom of the inning, but centre fielder Hatcher easily threw out Bream trying to score on Jose Lind’s single
